405: Who I am depends on where I go.

Li Fufeng and Lycra chatted about their ancient legends in the secret treasure vault.

Liu Yuan, though his face was contorted in pain and his body was still oozing blood, was nearing the end of his Fusion with the sea gods heart.

His Realm had directly soared from Little Grandmaster to the Peak of Great Grandmaster.

The reason he couldn't advance further was the lack of pidi crystal; otherwise, he would have certainly achieved a Breakthrough beyond Great Grandmaster, as the power accumulated within his Physical Body was simply too immense.

But then, Liu Yuan suddenly stood up with difficulty, walked to the trident, and picked up the ring impaled on it.

A sky-blue pidi crystal flew out of the ring.

He immediately consumed it and began to fuse with it.

Li Fufeng, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow slightly.

It seemed that what was stored in that ring was exactly what he needed to recover his strength.

Although that sky-blue pidi crystal had only a single element, the concentration of that element within it was truly astonishing.

In the Galaxy, there was no pidi crystal with such an intense single element; no, this wasn't even an element anymore, this crystal contained Law.

Goodness, a pidi crystal containing Law was simply unheard of.

Li Fufeng secretly clicked his tongue.

After consuming the pidi crystal, Liu Yuan sat back down and continued his Fusion, cultivating his Realm.

Martial Venerable First Level.

Martial Venerable Second Level.

Martial Venerable Third Level... Peak Martial Venerable!

In just five minutes, Liu Yuan's Realm suddenly skyrocketed to Peak Martial Venerable.

Li Fufeng shook his head; if not for Liu Yuan's special circumstances, a 19-year-old Peak Martial Venerable would scare a lot of people to death if word got out.

But he didn't expect that this seemed not to be over yet.

Liu Yuan then took out an 'opening heaven crystal' from his Storage Ring; this was a treasure needed for a Breakthrough to the Martial Saint Realm.

As expected, it was also a single element, and it also contained the Law of water!

Liu Yuan continued to fuse.

His Realm continued to ascend!

This time, it took ten minutes.

He had reached Peak Martial Saint!

Moreover, his Physical Body also began to strengthen rapidly, achieving sainthood on the spot.

At this moment, the Aura emanating from Liu Yuan was already quite terrifying.

But there was no trace of joy on his face; his expression was still somewhat gloomy.

Because for others, his strength was formidable.

But for him, it was as weak as an ant.

He immediately went to retrieve a 'gathering god crystal,' which was the Materials needed for a Breakthrough to Martial God.

This time, it took him half an hour to Breakthrough to Peak Martial God.

After the Breakthrough, he slowly stood up and walked towards the blank stone book, a water element Law, unique to him as a Creator, appearing in his palm.

The blue Law brushed over the mottled, dark stone book.

The next second, dense blue symbols suddenly appeared on the stone book.

Each of these symbols was incredibly mysterious; although Li Fufeng couldn't understand them, he could sense that each symbol contained the true essence of a certain Martial Arts!

At this moment.

Liu Yuan gently placed his palm on the stone book.

Blue Law bloomed around him, illuminating the surroundings, and from the stone book in front of him, dense runes surged towards his glabella.

At this moment, Liu Yuan had already reached Peak Martial God; to ascend further, he needed to condense an emperor seal.

And the emperor seal was something that integrated all of one's abilities.

Therefore, Liu Yuan naturally had to retrieve his abilities first before condensing it.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Soon, all the mysterious symbols in the stone book had merged into Liu Yuan's Physical Body.

At this moment, Liu Yuan finally opened his eyes, and a vast Aura emanated from his Physical Body, spreading in all directions.

He slowly turned to look at Lycra and Li Fufeng.

Suddenly, he tilted his head back, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

But as he exhaled, crystal tears streamed from his tightly closed eyes, leaving two sorrowful tracks.

At this moment, he seemed to be mourning, or perhaps missing... someone who could never return.

But after only a few seconds, the tear tracks evaporated.

Liu Yuan forced a smile, seemingly imitating that optimistic leader.

But his smile was uglier than a cry.

I'm back.

What about you?

In an instant, a huge sadness surged into his heart, like a beast rampaging through his soul.

It struck his chest, making it ache so much that he almost doubled over, sobbing uncontrollably.

But just as tears were about to gather again, he suddenly took a sharp breath, straightening his spine once more.

At this moment, the sadness in his eyes had dissipated, replaced by unparalleled determination and persistence.

He knew.

Now was not the time to be immersed in sorrow.

Everything, wait until the unfinished Dao is completed, then we'll talk.

"Let's go," Liu Yuan said calmly.

Lycra, however, asked in confusion, "You... aren't you going to Breakthrough to Emperor Realm before leaving?"

Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "That defeat back then made me realize what I was lacking."

"I'll make up for it, then re-enter the Emperor Realm."

The Emperor Realm could be said to be the watershed between ordinary people and superhumans.

Because to Breakthrough this Realm, one must thoroughly integrate all of one's abilities; the better and more integrated they are, the higher the strength after the Breakthrough.

This was a Realm of accumulating strength for a sudden burst.

Liu Yuan, as the former Lord of the Inverted Sea, the Supreme Creator, possessed terrifyingly profound foundations.

But he still believed it wasn't enough.

He wanted to find power that could make him stronger in this special Original Land.

At this moment, Li Fufeng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked.

"So now, are you Winters?"

"Or Liu Yuan?"

Liu Yuan heard this, chuckled lightly, and said, "In my hometown, there's a saying."

"Who you are depends on your identity."

"Whose father, whose child, whose husband you are."

Li Fufeng frowned and said, "That sounds quite selfless, but what about yourself?"

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "There's another line after that."

"Who you are depends on where you come from and where you are going."

"Whether it's Liu Yuan or Winters."

"We are all walking the same path, and ultimately, we are all going to the same place."

"So, I don't think what the name is matters."

Li Fufeng raised an eyebrow and said, "I just wanted to ask."

"If you see Xiao Fan again."

"Would you still be willing to call him Revered Master?"

"Perhaps...?" Liu Yuan raised an eyebrow, shook his head, and said, "I don't know when we'll meet again."

"Let's talk about it next time."

"Where are you going?" Li Fufeng asked in surprise.

Liu Yuan said indifferently, "I'm going to awaken my former companions."

"Among them is a Creator of the Wind Law."

"Then I'll let you all exchange insights."

"I'm off!"

As his voice fell, he took a step, walking out of the secret vault.

His movements were swift and fluid, like flowing clouds and water.
