High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 1228: Chapter 573: Seven Stars After Many Years (Happy New Year)

The two figures in the distance, judging by their attire, appearance, and aura, absolutely weren’t students of Kunlun Martial University, leaving him completely in the dark.

“Are they demigods? Demigods I’ve never seen before?” A trace of shock flashed in the middle-aged man’s mind.

The Semi Divine Realm, even in today’s Seven Star Civilization, still belonged to experts.

He was about to raise an alarm when a hint of surprise swept through his eyes: “Is it him?”

He sensed a familiar aura from the black-clad man… moreover, the more he looked, the more similar it seemed.

“Gu Qiang! Long time no see.” Li Yuan smiled gently.

The middle-aged man was exactly the old friend ’Gu Qianghan’ from years ago.

“Li Yuan? Is it truly you?” The middle-aged man widened his eyes, somewhat in disbelief.

…

Villa No. 61031.

Gu Qianghan led Li Yuan and Liu Bing here.

They sat down in the courtyard.

“A hundred years have flown by, Gu Qianghan, you still live here?” Li Yuan said, smiling.

“After I became a Flying Heaven Warrior, didn’t I return to the Sixth Institute to be a teacher? So I moved back.” Gu Qianghan laughed, “After all, nowadays Principal Li Yang takes good care of me.”

At first, when they acknowledged each other, he was somewhat restrained. Later, seeing Li Yuan at ease, he too relaxed.

Gu Qianghan’s personality was straightforward and bold, as always.

“Teacher Li Yang?” Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Earlier, talking with Liu Bing, he already got some updates on the conditions of certain seniors and friends from back then.

Over the years, various cultivation resources and treasures in the Seven Star Civilization had surged, resulting in a dramatic increase in the number of strong individuals.

Some old friends and seniors had been cared for, either openly or secretly, when Li Yuan hadn’t yet gone to the Divine Realm.

Over the years, many people had undergone astonishing changes.

Like Hai Yi, ’Dean Hai’, was now a demigod, one of the managers of Blue Star.

Li Yang, too, had become semi-divine, serving as the principal of Kunlun Martial University.

Friends like Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Dantai Feng, and others were now in the Semi Divine Realm.

In summary.

The changes are immense.

“The lectures are quite good.” Li Yuan laughed, “I can’t see a trace of what you were like back then.”

“People have to progress.” Gu Qianghan grinned, “We were high school classmates, and university classmates… there isn’t anyone more suitable than me to lecture about you.”

Li Yuan chuckled silently.

Everyone has the right to choose their life; Gu Qianghan chose such a path, and Li Yuan naturally wouldn’t interfere.

“Li Yuan, do you remember? My parents were very dissatisfied with me back then.” Gu Qianghan laughed.

“I remember.” Li Yuan nodded.

“They all thought I couldn’t become a Flying Heaven Warrior. Unexpectedly, you pushed the civilization to evolve, with a great increase in various cultivation resources, I ultimately became one.” Gu Qianghan laughed, “I ended up stronger than both my parents… this is called the progress of the times.”

Li Yuan smiled slightly. Chatting with Gu Qianghan, neither side felt pressured.

They also reminisced many funny events from back then.

“Gu Qianghan.”

“I’ve just returned from the Divine Realm, coincidentally meeting again.” Li Yuan smiled, “Meeting again is destiny, before I leave, I’ll give you a gift.”

Li Yuan flipped his palm and handed out a Storage Magical Treasure.

“Alright, a gift from the leader of this civilization must be a treasured relic.” Gu Qianghan reached out to take it, grinning, “If you dare to give it, I certainly won’t refuse.”

They exchanged knowing smiles.

…

Bidding farewell to Gu Qianghan, Li Yuan and Liu Bing flew out of Kunlun Martial University.

“Big brother, what kind of gift did you just give?” Liu Bing asked curiously.

“Enough for Gu Qiang to become a demigod.” Li Yuan smiled.

Liu Bing nodded; with Li Yuan’s current strength and status, he could train even a pig to become semi-divine.

Let alone Gu Qianghan, who was already at the Flying Heaven Peak.

“Going to see Li Yang?” Liu Bing asked, knowing the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Yang.

“Since I’ve come, I should pay a visit to the teacher.” Li Yuan smiled.

…

So, quietly.

Li Yuan successively visited several seniors living on Blue Star, such as Li Yang, Wan Qinghe, Fei Qian, and others.

Regarding some peers, like Yu Jinghe, Lǐ Tianyou, who also live on Blue Star, Li Yuan didn’t take the initiative to see them.

“Senior, it’s time to visit.” Li Yuan quietly said, “Each meeting is one less chance to meet. Even if I do my best to help them, reaching the Semi-Divine Realm is already quite an achievement.”

Helping them reach the Semi-Divine Realm wasn’t difficult for Li Yuan.

But beyond that, aiming for the Void God Realm? It required high talent, and even with numerous treasures, it was a difficult leap.

“As for those peers…”

“Many have already become high-ranking members of Blue Star and the entire civilization. I’ve helped where I can, and the rest is up to them.” Li Yuan was straightforward.

For some peers, Li Yuan was willing to assist.

In truth, Li Yuan’s leadership in uplifting the entire civilization, the resources, cultivation secret manuals, etc., all indirectly benefited his senior relatives and friends.

…

Eventually, Li Yuan returned to Jiang City.

He visited the grave of his teacher, Xu Bo.

Liu Bing accompanied him, knowing Xu Bo’s importance in Li Yuan’s heart.

The martyrs’ cemetery was well-kept.

Li Yuan gazed at his teacher’s new tombstone, feeling a bit dazed as memories of the enthusiastic figure like a tower of strength in the high school Martial Arts Room surfaced.

“Teacher, I’ve come to see you again.” Li Yuan took out a jug of wine, gently pouring it onto the grave, and softly said, “This wine, I brought it back during my travels in another Cosmic Realm.”

“Rest assured, Teacher, I have always remembered your teachings.” Li Yuan respectfully bowed three times.

“Xu Ling is doing well too.”

…

“Let’s go to Source Star,” Li Yuan said, “It’s time to see uncle and aunt.”

“Okay.” Liu Bing nodded.

With a hum~ an invisible wave swept by, and the two disappeared from the cemetery.

Source Star, the planet Li Yuan left behind for his family after the great expansion of the Dimensional Plane, was in a sense the territory of the Li family.

The Li family held an incredibly special status within the Seven Star Civilization!

Within the Seven Star Civilization, the concept of nations had long since vanished, with even the three great Martial Halls reduced to only the ’Starfire Martial Hall’, while the Seven Star Civilization managed all planetary territories.

Aside from the area inhabited by the Heavenly Serpent Clan in the Second Territory, only Source Star stood independently from the Seven Star Civilization.

The entire planet had a very sparse population, with just over a million people to date. Many Seven Star inhabitants wanted to migrate to Source Star…but the screening was very strict, and it primarily favored people from Xia Country.

Source Star was considered very mysterious within the Seven Star Civilization.

Source Star, Main City.

The structure of the city largely replicated ’Blue Star Jiang City’, as the Li family originated from Jiang City.

The deepest part of the Main City, ’Gushan Courtyard,’ was exclusively accessible to the Li family.

Inside one of the courtyards.

“Brother!”

“Brother.” Li Muhua and Li Qianqian hurried over upon receiving the news, filled with joyful excitement.

If outsiders saw the two elder figures of the Li family like this, they would probably be shocked.

“Muhua, Qianqian.” Li Yuan smiled. Nearly a hundred years had passed, yet his younger brother and sister seemed unchanged.

In fact, they appeared even more refined in demeanor.

“Not bad, both have entered the Void God Realm.” Li Yuan smiled, sensing that Li Muhua and Li Qianqian had reached the Void God Realm.

However, their life breaths were only at level 50, indicating they’d just broken through.

“We broke through not long ago,” Li Muhua said, “Thanks to the treasure True God Tian Bing brought back.”

“It was big brother who made it happen,” Liu Bing added with a smile.

The treasure they spoke of was the five Innate Law Fruits gifted to Li Yuan by the Dong Mang God King.

Anyone above the Flying Heaven Realm could withstand its power. Once consumed and refined, it could rapidly elevate one’s comprehension of their most connected Basic Law to the Eighth Stage, laying the foundation for becoming a Pseudo-God.

When Li Yuan left, Li Muhua was already a Demigod, and Li Qianqian was in the Flying Heaven Realm.

Many years had passed.

With the abundant resources aiding her, Li Qianqian had reached the Semi-Divine Realm within decades of Li Yuan’s departure… This time, both siblings consumed the Innate Law Fruit and naturally chose to swiftly ascend to the Void God Realm.

After all, their Star Meridians had reached their limits, standing as a Five-Star Meridian…remaining in the Semi-Divine Realm held little meaning.

“Where are uncle and aunt?” Li Yuan asked.

“Dad has also become a Pseudo-God,” Li Muhua said with a sense of helplessness, “But mom’s cultivation speed was always slow; before using the treasure, she was just in the Flying Heaven Realm.”

“She’s probably stabilizing her realm in the Semi-Divine Realm, with Dad helping her, of course.”

“There’s no rush then,” Li Yuan said, “Take your time cultivating. Aunt has a sufficient understanding of the laws now. As long as she awakens the Five-Star Meridian in the Semi-Divine Realm, achieving the Void God stage won’t be a problem.”

“To think, it’s still like a dream,” Li Qianqian couldn’t help but say, “To become a Pseudo-God, it’s the ’Divine’ in legends, and even within our civilization, few pseudo-gods have emerged.”

Li Yuan smiled faintly.

He couldn’t forget how his uncle and aunt took care of him from a young age, worked overtime to support his Martial Path cultivation, risked their lives entering many dangerous places for engineering, even ending up in Lop Nur… Muhua and Qianqian, who he watched grow from toddlers learning to speak.
