Chapter 570: Chapter 325: Yu Jinghe’s Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Request for Monthly Tickets)

“This is indeed the case,” Qiu Bingzun nodded. “You should have something with you that can confirm whether you are alive or dead, but from the moment you entered the inner layer of the core, all external sensing was cut off.”

“Unless it’s that kind of ‘Soul Sensing Artifact’ that can transcend different dimensional planes.”

“Otherwise, by now, your homeland’s civilization would probably think you have perished,” Qiu Bingzun said.

“What?” Li Yuan’s face changed, he had two soul sensing artifacts on him.

One was the Spiritual Lamp, which could achieve clear sensing as long as he was in this Mortal Domain, and it was controlled by Gu You.

The other was the Life Crystal, controlled by the Seven Star Civilization, but it could only confirm within a singular world.

Furthermore, refining the ‘Spirit of the Heavenly Wind’ had taken him over forty days.

In other words, more than forty days ago, the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization were guessing whether he had perished?

“Venerable One, why didn’t you tell me?” Li Yuan couldn’t help but say, worry in his heart.

“I said before, when you make a choice, there will be consequences,” Qiu Bingzun shook his head. “Without fully confirming your attitude, I would not allow the slightest possibility of the news leaking.”

“I also established this Core Palace inside the Mothership to isolate the essence of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg. Even a Seventh Rank Heavenly Divine wouldn’t even dream of sensing it directly unless they broke into the palace,” Qiu Bingzun said.

Li Yuan fell silent.

Qiu Bingzun was right; before this, there seemed to be no need for him to regard Li Yuan’s attitude.

“But rest assured, I know what you are worried about.”

“Xue Yan, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and your clan’s ‘Yu Jinghe,’ who are currently trapped inside the Mothership, I haven’t let them out,” Qiu Bingzun laughed. “The external forces have also not broken out in major wars.”

“Your homeland civilization, the Seven Star Civilization, has not suffered any loss.”

Hearing this, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What he was most worried about was that so many days had passed and Xue Yan, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and the others had already left the Mothership … in that case, there would be too many uncontrollable factors.

“As long as you form a blood pact with the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, allowing it to hatch successfully, all these people are at your disposal,” Qiu Bingzun smiled. “If you are unwilling to kill them, I even have a way to let you control them by soul.”

“Soul Control?” Li Yuan was stunned.

“It involves planting a prohibition at the source, in their souls, making them willingly submissive to you from the depths of their hearts,” Qiu Bingzun explained. “Thus it is called Soul Control.”

“Soul Control Technique, across the Divine Realm, is exceedingly precious, and many divines cannot acquire it,” Qiu Bingzun said. “This peculiar secret technique, in terms of its rarity, is comparable to many complete Supreme Star Techniques.”

Li Yuan nodded involuntarily, such methods he had only heard of but had never seen before.

“Can I cultivate this method?” Li Yuan furrowed his brow.

“Normally, no, even a Demigod’s soul utilization is quite rudimentary,” Qiu Bingzun laughed. “But among the gifts I’ve prepared for you, there’s one that can help you initially cultivate it… controlling a few at the Flying Heaven Level isn’t hard.”

Li Yuan inwardly exclaimed and also felt a bit wary.

This Heavenly Serpent Divine, truly a supreme existence among true gods, still very fearsome even if already deceased, leaving just a residual thought behind.

“Of course, this type of Soul Technique Method also has many drawbacks,” Qiu Bingzun said. “For one, it places a certain burden on the user’s soul. The stronger the servant, the greater the impact on the master, so there’s a limit to the number of servants you can control… and once a servant surpasses a certain level of strength, they can break free of this soul restriction.”

“Secondly, it cannot be executed on those too strong. For example, if your own soul is only at the Flying Heaven Level and it’s used on a Demigod… you might instead suffer backlash, causing severe damage to yourself.”

Li Yuan listened attentively.

“Thirdly, is that the controlled beings often see a significant drop in potential,” Qiu Bingzun said. “Some exceptional talents, after being controlled by soul, will often see their strength progress much slower, rarely reaching their original potential.”

“Why is that?” Li Yuan puzzled.

“Their hearts change,” Qiu Bingzun shook his head. “Why can the strong become strong? Because they have the heart of the strong, the courage and determination to surpass everything… If they become servants, blindly obeying the master, can they still become strong over time?”

Li Yuan had a realization, true exceptional talents and strong beings always firmly believe in themselves, even if their progress is slow for a while, they usually do not get discouraged… Even if they revere a senior, they won’t contemplate becoming a ‘servant.’

“If I can control their souls, that’s naturally best; I don’t care if their future potential lowers,” Li Yuan shook his head.

If he could control the two Beast Emperors, then he could keep control over the Ming Xu Beast Clan.

If he could control Xue Yan? That would be like driving a deep wedge into the Demon Civilization, potentially infiltrating the high ranks of the Myriad Demons Civilization in the future.

…

Inside a massive secret chamber within the inner layer of the Mothership.

A Combat Saber floated in the void, pitch-black and emitting strange fluctuations.

Inside the chamber, Yu Jinghe, clad in a black robe, was continually staring at the Combat Saber in the void, sensing the mysterious fluctuations.

“Metal!”

“Incredible, this Combat Saber contains a Sword Technique that’s utterly unimaginable,” as Yu Jinghe delved deeper, the more he marveled.

Still, Yu Jinghe was quite troubled, “According to the Alien God’s messenger, I must comprehend a powerful enough Sword Technique within six months to hope to advance to the next test.”

“This inner layer of the Mothership contains many treasures and opportunities, a rare chance for me.”

“I’ve become a direct disciple of an Alien God, with the inheritance of an Alien God aiding me, there’s a great hope for me to become a Semi-Divine.”
