"Brother Xu, I'm sorry, we could only resort to such a measure," Jiang Xuan said. "That Jiang Lei is just a prodigal son; these words should be enough to scare him off."
"No worries," Li Yuan smiled.
He had to admit, Jiang Xuan was clever; using intimidation, along with the display of his own strength, it was easy to frighten someone.
Jiang Lei didn't die by his hand, so today's events wouldn't cause too much of an uproar.
"Lord Xu Yuan," Xu Guo couldn't help but say, "With such strength, yet you came to the Abyss Demon Blood Den, could it be for the treasures within the forbidden land?"
"Forbidden land treasures?" Li Yuan muttered softly and then glanced at him: "No, I was just traveling to Abyss Country and stumbled upon the opening of the Blood Den. After briefly understanding the rules, I wanted to take a look and broaden my horizons."
Since Jiang Xuan suspected that he was a disciple of some major sect, Li Yuan didn't mind pretending to be one.
Before Xu Guo had the chance to speak, Jiang Xuan's face suddenly showed anger: "I've said it before, the forbidden land is extremely dangerous, I will not go there again."
Jiang Xuan looked towards Li Yuan, said with a bitter smile, "Brother Xu Yuan, I'm sorry, please don't listen to Uncle Guo's temptation. This trial in Source Devil Blood Cavern is quite peculiar, the forbidden land is very strange, not to be trifled with. I hope you won't blame Uncle Guo; he's only looking out for me."
Li Yuan's thoughts turned, and he quickly understood Xu Guo's intentions.
The man probably wanted to use his strength to help Jiang Xuan complete the trial task.
"Xu Guo, you are a loyal guard, but your loyalty is misplaced," Li Yuan said indifferently: "Jiang Xuan is decent and I have some good feelings for her, willing to lend a hand, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to take risks."
"I came to the Abyss Demon Blood Den just to have a look around, other matters, forget it."
"If you want to venture into that so-called forbidden place, then we shall part ways here," Li Yuan said directly.
Li Yuan did not want to take too great of a risk in the Abyss Demon Blood Den but wanted to wait safely until he could leave, then slowly find ways to explore the Jue Xing Continent.
Xu Guo's complexion changed slightly as he bowed and said, "I'm wrong, I will listen to everything Your Highness says, I hope you'll forgive me."
Li Yuan nodded slightly and did not blame him further.
"Brother Xu Yuan, let's continue towards the Outer Realm," Jiang Xuan said, "The Outer Realm has the fewest ferocious beasts and is relatively the safest."
"No need, there may be more ferocious beasts in the Inner Domain, but fewer people, it's more tranquil," Li Yuan said.
Following Li Yuan's opinion.
The warship Jiang Xuan piloted decided to continue forward in the Inner Domain.
Xu Guo did not object; after all, with Li Yuan with them, their team was almost absolutely safe as long as they did not venture into the forbidden area.
Li Yuan unlocked all the Storage Treasures he had acquired as spoils of war, including the two belonging to Jiang Lei, obtaining a vast number of items.
For those weapons, elixirs, and miscellaneous items, Li Yuan mostly didn't care for them and casually set them aside.
Li Yuan finally found more than ten 'Message Crystal Stones', most containing cultivation method messages, but there were also several crystals imbued with common knowledge and some historical legends of the Jue Xing Continent.
He didn't need those cultivation method messages; after all, he had received the True God Heritage from two entities and hardly lacked anything.
But that common knowledge was precisely what Li Yuan urgently needed.
"Abyss Country Introduction of four hundred eighty provinces"
"Abyss Country Brief Introduction of eight hundred noble families"
"Abyss Country Ten Thousand Years History Summary"
"Starry Sky Ancient City Legend"
"Legends of the Hundred Most Powerful True Gods of the Continent"
"The Magical Jue Xing Divine Pill"
Within several seemingly insignificant crystal stones, Li Yuan's soul and Divine Sense quickly received a wealth of information.
All were details he had not obtained while interrogating those of Flying Heaven Level.
Clearly, as a member of the Royal Family, Jiang Lei had access to richer and more secretive information.
While chatting with Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo, Li Yuan perused the intelligence with part of his consciousness.
Li Yuan formed a certain conception and understanding of the whole Abyss Country, the Jue Xing Continent, and even the legendary Starry Sky Ancient City.
The Starry Sky Ancient City, located in the endless starry space, was the source and beginning of the continent's civilization.
There are a total of three Starry Sky Ancient Cities!
Legend has it that the earliest creatures on the continent descended from the Starry Sky Ancient City, proliferating and eventually spreading civilization across the entire Jue Xing Continent.
Li Yuan finally learned about a treasure that interested him—the Jue Xing Divine Pill.
The Jue Xing Divine Pill is a Supreme Treasure only owned by one of the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities – Jue Xing City... Many Divine Kingdoms and Jue Xing Ancient City trade treasured relics to obtain the Jue Xing Divine Pill.
The Jue Xing Divine Pill, precious beyond measure!
Its effect, just like its name, can help Cultivators activate more Life Stars and Star Veins, but how exactly it aids is not recorded in the crystal stones.
Its value? Likewise unlisted.
It only mentioned that even if one obtains the Jue Xing Divine Pill, there are difficulties in consumption, and it's not something that can be used limitlessly.
Because of the existence of the Jue Xing Divine Pill, the Jue Xing Continent has, over the long years, given birth to many unrivalled beings with Semi-Divine Seven Star Veins, Eight Star Veins, and even Nine Star Veins.
..."Nine Star Veins? Has the Jue Xing Continent really produced Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins?" Li Yuan was quite astonished in his heart.
In the Divine Realm, a Semi-Divine Seven Stars Meridian is already considered a genius, and they are not numerous; usually, each Star Domain would have a batch.
Semi-Divine Eight Star Veins are extremely rare; usually, as long as their Law Talent is not too poor, they can become disciples of Heavenly Divine and becoming a True God is almost a certainty. Once they are True Gods, their strength is often exceedingly formidable within the ranks of True Gods.
