High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 574 Seven Stars Many Years Later (Happy New Year)

“Are there so many space cities?”

"There are also temples guarding the city?" Li Yuan passed through the starry sky and saw from afar a large number of space cities orbiting the planet, with aircraft coming and going.

There are also some larger suspended temples, all of which are artifacts... A large number of guarding temples are essentially "array bases".

Guard the void in all directions to protect the Blue Star completely.

In the divine realm, this is the case for any slightly important planet.

With Li Yuan's strength, he could see through things with just a thought in his mind, and he also understood that these guardian artifacts were the ones he had given to Dongfang Ji last time.

"It seems that in the past few years, the Eastern Alliance Leader has made great changes to the Seven Star Civilization." Li Yuan smiled. With the Eastern Alliance Leader and others around, he can feel at ease about his hometown.

Whoosh!
Li Yuan floated in and arrived above the Xia Kingdom. With his strength, the protective formation of Blue Star could not detect him.

suddenly.

Whoosh! The space shook slightly, and a girl in green appeared in front of Li Yuan.

"Brother." It was Liu Bing who had mastered the teleportation in the void. She had been staying on Blue Star.

"Xiao Bing." Li Yuan smiled and came back without notifying anyone.

Xiaobing can only know through the soul connection between them.

Of course, as his strength grows stronger, if Li Yuan now activates the mystery of the 'Ancient Universe's Long River of Time', he will be able to prevent Liu Bing from sensing his own soul breath.

"Have you been staying on Blue Star all the time?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"Yes." Liu Binglian nodded excitedly: "Brother, you know that I am used to staying in Blue Star. In my eyes, Blue Star is no different from my hometown."

Li Yuan secretly sighed, he once served as the commander of Blue Star. At that time, Liu Bing, who was born not long ago, often used the art of transformation to play around in the towns of Blue Star, especially in Xia Country.

Therefore, among the many planets of the Seven Star Civilization, she has the deepest feelings for the Blue Planet.

"Okay." Li Yuan smiled and said, "I haven't been back for so many years, so you can introduce me to someone."

"Haha, big brother, you haven't been back for nearly a hundred years, right? The Blue Star and the Seven Stars civilization have changed a lot." Liu Bing said with a smile: "The population of Blue Star is much smaller than before, but it has also become much more beautiful."

"It is much more beautiful now." Li Yuan sighed sincerely.

As soon as the Void Teleportation came, Li Yuan had already discovered this... The Seven Star Civilization back then had been under the threat of foreign civilizations and had been at war for years.

In order to manufacture various war weapons and construction, the entire planet is being mined frantically, just to utilize more resources.

At the same time, in order to guard against foreign invaders, the population at that time was concentrated in large cities.

But now things have clearly changed.

Many large cities were evacuated of their populations, and a large number of the past "war fortresses" were demolished, leaving only a small number as "historical museums" so that the younger generation can understand that era.

And with population migration, technological progress, and pollution control.

The natural environment is much better.

"Brother, come here, I will explain it to you." Liu Bing said with a smile, and the two of them flew leisurely in the void.

Neither the formation nor some technological instruments could detect the presence of the two.

The two chatted slowly.

"Blue Star has become the second largest planet of the Seven Star Civilization? Second only to Flying Star." Li Yuan nodded slightly: "But the permanent population is still only about 10 billion?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Brother, a population of 10 billion is already a lot." Liu Bing said with a smile: "You don't know that since you destroyed the Ten Thousand Demons Civilization and made the dimensional plane evolve, hundreds of planets with life have appeared... The entire civilization has been encouraging people to migrate to the XJ region."

"The total population of the Seven Star Civilization has now exceeded 800 billion, but they are scattered across the major planets, as well as the Second Territory and the Xianxu Civilization Territory... On average, each planet has only 20 to 30 billion people." Liu Bing said, "This is the result of crazy encouragement of childbirth."

“Technology is advanced, material things are extremely abundant, and there is no pressure to survive.”

"Even if there are all kinds of robots and all kinds of rewards and subsidies."

"Many people in the younger generation of the Seven Star Civilization simply don't want to have children." Liu Bing said with emotion: "In a hundred years, the population of the Seven Star Civilization has only quadrupled."

"It has quadrupled, which is pretty good." Li Yuan said with a smile, "You should also understand that the stronger a person is, the less eager they are to have children."

"That's right." Liu Bing nodded. Giving birth to offspring is essentially about passing on bloodline and is a kind of fear of death.

But the super strong ones, each of them has strong vitality and long lifespan, and they believe that they will achieve great things... naturally they will not care too much about reproducing offspring.

Only some strong people who are on the verge of death will have the desire to reproduce their bloodline.

"Brother, let's go to Kunlun City." Liu Bing pointed at the city below and said with a smile.

"Kunlun?" Li Yuan looked down at the huge city below. There were many aircraft coming and going, but there were no tall buildings.

"This is... Kunlun University?" Li Yuan said softly.

After returning to Blue Star, Li Yuan did not deliberately use his spiritual sense to investigate, as doing so would have lost a lot of fun.

But just one glance made Li Yuan realize that this city was the location of his former alma mater, Kunlun Wuhan University.

"I remember that this area was destroyed that year?" Li Yuan asked doubtfully.

During the more than ten years that Li Yuan had been wandering in the 'Juexing Continent', the Blue Star was attacked by the Xianxu civilization.

One of the places where the war broke out was at Kunlun Wuda, and it was here that the demigod Sang Qiu died in battle.

"It was destroyed, but after reconstruction, more than ten years after we went to the Divine Realm, we moved back and directly established 'Kunlun City' on this basis." Liu Bing smiled and said, "Now it is the largest city on Blue Star, the capital of Xia Kingdom."

"Jiangcheng and Kunlun City are both among the top ten metropolises on the planet." Liu Bing said.

Li Yuan nodded slightly. He didn't need to ask any more questions to understand that it must be related to him.

Otherwise, given the geographical location of these two cities, it would be impossible for them to develop so fast.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
The two continued walking forward, and finally came to a quiet area in the central area of ​​the city, overlooking the area below.

"did not expect."

"Even Kunlun Wuda has been completely restored, just like when I was there." Li Yuan was a little surprised.

The rows of villas, buildings, and lakes below...are exactly the same as when I was studying at Kunlun Wuhan University.

It’s just that in the more peripheral areas, the scale is much larger.

It is obvious that the rebuilt Kunlun Wuhan University underwent a large-scale expansion.

"That's thoughtful." Li Yuan said softly. When he came back from Juexing Continent and learned that Kunlun Martial Arts University had been destroyed, he felt a little regretful.

Never thought about it.

Nearly a hundred years passed, and everything came back to normal... Although he only practiced in Kunlun Wuda for one year, Li Yuan had a very deep affection for his alma mater.

Here, I had a group of good friends and classmates, as well as many respectable teachers.

"Big brother."

"The current Kunlun Martial Arts University is not only the number one martial arts academy on Blue Star, but also the number one martial arts university in our Seven Star Civilization." Liu Bing said with a smile: "Martial arts geniuses from various planets regard it as the highest honor to be admitted to Kunlun Martial Arts University."

"In many aspects, the training intensity is comparable to that of Wushen Mountain." Liu Bing said.

Li Yuan nodded slightly: "Go down and take a look."

The two of them landed gently on the ground without attracting the attention of the demigods in Kunlun Wuda.

"This is the villa I lived in back then, numbered '61032'. Gu Qiang lived in a nearby villa. I didn't expect that it could be restored one-to-one and even open to the public?"

"Xuanwu Tower."

"Suzaku Tower, oh? The skeleton of this fire bird is still there? It's probably a replica."

"The Black Dragon Building was the building of the Sixth Academy back then. I often took classes here." Li Yuan and Liu Bing walked and recalled the past.

Li Yuan felt more and more relaxed and at ease in his heart.

Liu Bing on the side listened quietly. She knew that she didn't need to interrupt and just needed to be a good listener.

"Oh?"

"It seems that there are still people giving lectures in the Black Dragon Building today." Li Yuan said with a smile: "Let's go in and take a look."

Inside the Black Dragon Building, the main hall on the first floor was extremely lively, with a large number of young warriors gathered here, listening attentively.

hum~
Li Yuan and Liu Bing appeared quietly in the corner of the main hall without any students noticing them.

"Oh? Him?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he smiled: "He's doing well. He's even become a teacher at Wuhan University."

Liu Bing smiled but said nothing.

A middle-aged man about 1.8 meters tall and slightly frail on the podium smiled and said, "Today we are still going to talk about the history of our Kunlun University."

"I believe that all students know that the fact that our Kunlun Martial Arts University has become the number one martial arts university in civilization is closely related to the two alumni in history."

"One of them is the first leader of the Seven Star Alliance and the first true god in the history of the Seven Star Civilization that we mentioned in the last class. He is now the second most powerful person in the civilization, the 'True God of East Pole'." The middle-aged man said, "He is a person who connects the past and the future in the history of civilization."

"They turned the tide and won the Second Flying Star War, and the entire Seven Star Civilization, laying the most solid foundation for the subsequent rise of the Seven Star Civilization... Now they have opened up the 'Seven Star Divine Kingdom' in the Divine Realm."

"but."

"Today we are going to talk about another alumnus, who is also the most outstanding alumnus in the history of our Kunlun Wuda University." The middle-aged man said solemnly: "He is the greatest genius in the history of civilization. When he was in the semi-god realm, he defeated the gods, destroyed the Ten Thousand Demons Civilization, promoted the evolution of civilization, and led our Seven Star Civilization to rise to become the strongest civilization in the entire mortal world."

"Even in the distant divine realm, he is a peerless genius standing at the top... This is the Martial God 'Li Yuan'."

"He is also the undisputed supreme leader of my Seven Star Civilization." The middle-aged man said in one breath.

The young warriors felt their blood boiling after hearing this.

"of course."

"There is no need for me to elaborate on the deeds of the Martial God. There are many records of them on the virtual network and in the books you have read since childhood." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "What I want to talk about today is the high school and college years of the Martial God."

"When he was about your age, he practiced, set his own goals, practiced hard, and finally became a god step by step."

"So, our class is called 'Soul of Martial Arts'..." the middle-aged man continued.

Many students listened attentively.

But Li Yuan, who was standing at the end of the main hall, smiled helplessly: "Too much, Martial God?"

"This is a title jointly decided by the top leaders of the Seven Star Civilization several decades ago." Liu Bing said with a smile, "After all, you were still a demigod before... so we decided to honor you as the Martial God, representing the leader of the civilization and the strongest."

time flies.

The class lasted for nearly an hour and Li Yuan and Liu Bing were listening.

"Brother, were you really like this in high school?" Liu Bing exclaimed, "You really practiced seriously, no wonder you are so powerful."

"This guy." Li Yuan shook his head and laughed.

"get out of class is over!"

Many students left one after another, the classroom became empty, and the middle-aged man who was giving the lecture was about to leave.

suddenly.

“Huh?” The middle-aged man trembled, his expression changed slightly and he looked towards the corner of the classroom with horror in his eyes… He was also a peak Flying Warrior with a very strong perception ability, but he didn’t even notice the existence of these two people just now.

The most important thing.

Judging from their service, clothing, and temperament, the two figures in the distance were definitely not students of Kunlun Martial Arts University, which made him completely unable to understand.

"Two demigods? Demigods I've never seen before?" A trace of horror flashed through the middle-aged man's mind.

Even in the current Seven Star Civilization, the Demigod Realm is still considered a super expert. He was about to warn, but suddenly a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes: "Who is he?"

He sensed a familiar aura from the man in black... and the more he looked, the more similar he seemed.

"Strong! Long time no see." Li Yuan smiled slightly.

The middle-aged man was none other than his good friend 'Gu Qianghan'.

"Li Yuan? Is it really you?" The middle-aged man stared, somewhat incredulous.

……

Villa No. 61031.

Gu Qianghan led Li Yuan and Liu Bing here.

Sit down in the courtyard.

"It's been more than a hundred years. You're so strong. You still live here?" Li Yuan said with a smile.

"After I became a flying warrior, I returned to the Sixth Academy as a teacher, so I moved back here." Gu Qianghan said with a smile, "After all, the principal is now Teacher Li Yang, who takes good care of me."

When they first met, he was a little reserved, but later, when he saw Li Yuan relaxed, he became calm.

Gu has a strong and carefree personality and has always been like this.

"Teacher Li Yang?" Li Yuan nodded slightly.

After communicating with Liu Bing before, he already knew the current situation of some of his predecessors and friends.

Over the years, the various cultivation resources and treasures of the Seven Star Civilization have skyrocketed, and the number of powerful people born has also skyrocketed.

Some of Li Yuan's former friends and seniors had been taken care of, either openly or secretly, before he went to the Divine Realm.

Over the years, many people have undergone amazing changes.

Like Hai Yi 'Dean Hai', who is now a demigod and one of the administrators of Blue Star.

Like Li Yang, he has also become a demigod and the president of Kunlun Wuda.

A group of good friends including Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Tan Taifeng, etc. are now also in the semi-god realm.

In short.

Great changes.

"The lecture was very good." Li Yuan said with a smile, "You can't tell what you were like back then at all."

"People have to make progress too." Gu Qianghan grinned and said, "We are classmates in high school and college... There is no one more suitable than me to give you a lecture."

Li Yuan burst out laughing.

Everyone has the right to choose how to live their life. Since Gu Qianghan chose this way, Li Yuan naturally would not interfere.

"Li Yuan, do you still remember? My parents were very dissatisfied with me back then." Gu Qianghan said with a smile.

"Remember." Li Yuan nodded.

"They all thought I couldn't become a flying warrior. Unexpectedly, you promoted the evolution of civilization, and a large number of various cultivation resources were added. I finally became one." Gu Qianghan laughed and said, "In fact, my parents are much stronger than they were back then... This is called the progress of the times."

Li Yuan was even happier. When communicating with Gu Qianghan, neither of them felt any pressure.

The two talked about many interesting things that happened in the past.

“Strong.”

"I just came back from the Divine Realm as well, and we met by chance." Li Yuan said, "Meeting is fate, so before you leave, I'll give you a gift."

Li Yuan flipped his palm and handed over a storage magic weapon.

"Okay, the gift from you, the leader of a civilization, must be a treasure." Gu Qianghan took it with his hand and grinned, "If you dare to give it to me, I won't refuse it."

……

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

"Brother, what gift did you just give?" Liu Bing asked curiously.

"Enough for Gu Qiang to become a demigod." Li Yuan said with a smile.

Liu Bing nodded. With Li Yuan's current strength and status, he could even train a pig and turn it into a demigod.

Not to mention that Gu Qianghan is already at the peak of the flying realm.

"Are you going to see Li Yang?" Liu Bing asked. He knew the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Yang.

"Now that you are here, why not visit the teacher?" Li Yuan said with a smile.

……

Just like that, quietly.

Li Yuan visited several predecessors living on the Blue Star in succession, such as Li Yang, Wan Qinghe, Fei Qian and others.

As for some friends of the same generation, such as Yu Jinghe, Li Tianyou, etc., they also live in Blue Star, but Li Yuan did not take the initiative to meet them.

"Senior, you should visit me." Li Yuan said softly, "The less we see each other, the better. Even if I try my best to help them, it would be good enough if they can reach the semi-god realm."

It is not difficult for Li Yuan to help the demigod realm.

But if you want to reach the virtual god realm, the talent requirements are actually very high. Even if you have many rare treasures, it is difficult to cross.

"As for those friends of the same generation."

"Many of them are already middle and high-level leaders on Blue Star and even in the entire civilization. Those who should be helped have already been helped, and the rest depends on themselves." Li Yuan was very calm.

Li Yuan would help some of his peers and friends, but he would not help them without limits.

In fact, Li Yuan led the entire civilization to rise, and the large amount of resources, cultivation secrets, etc. that he gave back to the civilization were also a disguised way of helping his predecessors and relatives.

……

Finally, Li Yuan returned to Jiangcheng.

Came to the grave of teacher Xu Bo.

Liu Bing accompanied him all the way, she knew the position of Xu Bo in Li Yuan's heart.

The Martyrs' Cemetery is well maintained.

Li Yuan looked at his teacher's brand new tombstone, feeling a little dazed, as if he recalled the passionate scene of the man who was like an iron tower in the martial arts room of the high school.

"Teacher, I'm here to see you again." Li Yuan took out a pot of wine, gently sprinkled it on the grave, and said softly: "This wine was brought by me when I was traveling in another universe."

"Teacher, don't worry. I have always kept in mind what you taught me." Li Yuan kowtowed three times respectfully.

"Xu Ling is also very good."

……

"Let's go to Yuanxing." Li Yuan said, "It's time to go see my uncle and aunt."

"Yeah." Liu Bing nodded.

Buzz~ An invisible wave swept past, and the two disappeared in the cemetery.

Yuanxing is a planet that Li Yuan left for his family after the great expansion of the dimensional plane. In a sense, it is the territory of the Li family.

The Li family has an extremely special status in the Seven Star Civilization.
In the Seven Star Civilization, the concept of a country has long disappeared. Even the three major martial halls are reduced to the 'Starfire Martial Hall', and only the Seven Star Civilization Committee manages all the planetary territories.

Except for the area where the Sky Snake Clan lives in the second territory, only Yuanxing is independent of the Seven Star Civilization.

The population of the entire planet is still extremely sparse, with only more than 10 million people so far. Many people from the Seven Stars want to immigrate to the Source Star... but the review is very strict, and basically only the blood of the original Xia people will be absorbed.

Source Star is extremely mysterious in the eyes of countless ordinary people in the entire Seven Star Civilization.

Yuanxing, the main city.

The entire city structure imitated "Blue Star Jiangcheng" to a large extent. After all, the Li family came from Jiangcheng.

'Guanshanyuan' is located in the deepest part of the main city, and only members of the Li family can enter.

In one of the courtyards.

"elder brother!"

"Brother." Li Muhua and Li Qianqian, who had rushed over after hearing the news, rushed over in surprise and excitement.

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

"Muhua, Xixi." Li Yuan smiled. Nearly a hundred years had passed, and his younger brother and sister's appearance had hardly changed.

Even better in temperament.

"Yes, they have both entered the virtual god realm." Li Yuan said with a smile. In his perception, Li Muhua and Li Qianqian have both reached the virtual god realm.

However, their life auras were only at level 50, and it was obvious that they had just broken through not long ago.

"We also broke through not long ago." Li Muhua said, "It's all thanks to the treasures brought back by Tianbing True God."

"My eldest brother asked me to bring it back." Liu Bing said with a smile.

The treasures they were talking about were the five fruits of innate laws given to Li Yuan by the God King Dongmang.

Anyone who is above the Flying Sky Realm can withstand its effects. Once consumed and refined, they will be able to comprehend the most familiar basic law to the eighth level in a very short period of time and have the foundation to become a virtual god.

When Li Yuan left the Seven Star Civilization, Li Muhua had already become a demigod, and Li Qianqian was also in the Flying Sky Realm.

So many years have passed.

Decades after Li Yuan left, Li Qianqian, with the help of a large amount of resources, also entered the semi-god realm... This time, both of them took the fruit of the innate law, so naturally they both chose to quickly enter the virtual god realm.

After all, their star veins have reached their limit, they are only five star veins…there is not much point in continuing to stay in the demigod realm.

"Where are uncle and aunt?" Li Yuan asked.

"Dad has also become a virtual god." Li Muhua said helplessly, "But Mom's cultivation speed has always been very slow. Before taking the treasure, she was only at the Flying Heaven Realm."

"I guess he's in a stable state in the Demigod realm now. Dad is helping Mom."

"Well, then there is no rush." ​​Li Yuan said: "Practice slowly. Auntie's understanding of the laws is high enough now. As long as she awakens the five-star veins in the semi-god realm, it should not be a problem for her to eventually become a virtual god."

"It feels like a dream now." Li Qianqian couldn't help but say, "The realm of virtual gods, this is the legendary 'god'. Even within the civilization, there are only a few virtual gods born."

Li Yuan smiled slightly.

He could not forget how his uncle and aunt had taken care of him since he was a child, practiced martial arts for him, worked overtime, ventured into many dangerous places to do construction projects, and even been trapped in Lop Nur... Mu Hua and Xixi were the ones Li Yuan watched grow up, and their relationship was extremely deep.
