Chapter 471 The Venerable One is Shocked! Jiang Ye, the One Who Repairs the Origin? (Two Chapters Combined, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
As one of the seven Venerables of the Cangxu Civilization, one of the important responsibilities of Venerable Tiancang is to screen out any seeds from hostile civilizations that may threaten the future of the Cangxu Civilization.
Furthermore, it should be nipped in the bud.
"This Ye Jiang."
“Having already entered the Huanglong Civilization and received great attention, and now having such a feud with my Cangxu Civilization, he will surely become a great threat once he rises in the future.” Venerable Tiancang felt an endless killing intent in his heart: “We must nip him in the bud before he truly grows up.”
If Jiang Ye had already become a god, then Venerable Niancang would still hesitate a bit.
Because gods are at the absolute highest level in a level two civilization, the fall of any god is of great significance.
Moreover, gods are difficult to kill; separated by billions of stars, even a Venerable One would find it difficult to reach out.
But Ye Jiang hasn't become a god yet, so even if he were assassinated, the Huanglong civilization wouldn't go to war with the Cangxu civilization for the sake of a dead demigod.
The question is, how to assassinate him?
"Wait until the Hundred Star Gods War? No way."
"It's been too long, and it's very difficult to truly kill Ye Jiang in the Hundred Star God Battle," Venerable Tiancang pondered.
The Battle of the Hundred Stars is, after all, a competition format.
At that time, both major Tier 3 civilizations will be watching closely, making it difficult to do anything underhanded.
"The only option is to assassinate them beforehand."
"Send the gods to do it?" Many thoughts flashed through Venerable Tiancang's mind.
If a god were to intervene, he could kill Jiang Ye in a single move.
After all, Jiang Ye couldn't possibly set up the '10 Billion Refining God Array' at any time.
Without the protection of the formation, even a powerful expert like Lei Jin, who is at the first level of the Divine Realm, would be able to kill Jiang Ye with a single palm strike.
The problem is that Jiang Ye is located in the heart of the Huanglong civilization.
There, every deity was under the watchful eye of the Venerable One. The size of the deities was so enormous that it was hard not to notice them.
"I'll remain a demigod," Venerable Tiancang decided in his heart.
Among the many spies that the Cangxu Civilization planted in the Huanglong Civilization, there were quite a few demigods.
"For a demigod at the peak of their power, killing a third-tier demigod is a sure thing."
The so-called demigod at the limit is someone who is infinitely close to the level of a god, but has not yet truly taken that step.
His strength is even far greater than that of a peak fourth-tier demigod!
"Hoo!" Upon realizing this, Venerable Tiancang immediately waved his hand.
Whoosh! A large amount of light converged, forming a projection. A gray-robed figure appeared in the projection, his back hunched, exuding a dense aura of death.
"Greetings, Venerable One." The old man in gray robes bowed deeply.
"Gray Hole".
"A recent genius has emerged in the Huanglong Civilization, named Ye Jiang." Venerable Tiancang looked down at him: "Are you aware of him?"
"Your Excellency, I understand," the gray-robed elder replied hastily.
He was a spy infiltrating the Huanglong civilization, so naturally he knew about this.
"Ye Jiang is hailed as the youngest demigod genius in the Huanglong Civilization in recent years," the gray-robed elder said. "He is nearly thirty years old and has already reached the third-order demigod level."
"Ah."
"I'm giving you a task." Venerable Tiancang didn't waste any words and said directly, "Kill this person, and your task will be complete."
"Kill Ye Jiang?" The gray-robed old man held his breath.
His expression quickly turned serious.
He could easily understand the Venerable One's meaning: by killing Ye Jiang, he could end this infiltration mission and return to the Cangxu Civilization.
But the question is, will he be able to come back?
Regardless of whether they could actually kill him, assassinating a disciple of a Venerable One within the main star of the Huanglong Civilization was a death sentence.
“I am a pawn.” The gray-robed old man’s heart sank to the bottom. He knew the Venerable One’s personality; he was just that ruthless.
no way.
Huihe is now nearing the end of his life, yet he remains at the limit of demigod level, unable to take the step towards becoming a god.
For the venerable one, there was no choice but to make the best use of everything.
"Gray Hole".
“Among the younger generation of your clan, there is a boy named ‘Huiyuan’ who has quite good talent,” Venerable Tiancang said slowly. “In my opinion, he has considerable potential to become a god.”
"If you complete this mission, I will take him as my disciple and do my best to help him become a god."
“Even if you fail and die, I will still provide him with sufficient protection,” Venerable Tiancang said calmly.
"Your Excellency has taken a liking to Hui Yuan?" Hui He's expression changed slightly.
Haimoto is also the junior he values most.
The word "respect" may seem like a condition, but it actually precisely addresses the core issue of the gray area.
A person is about to die.
What they value most is their own community and their descendants.
"If the Venerable One can truly help Hui Yuan become a god, then I will have no regrets even if I die," Hui He thought to himself.
He had no hope of becoming a god anyway.
If any of his descendants could become gods, then his clan would have no worries about prosperity.
Thinking about this...
“Alright.” Hui He’s face hardened, and he said in a low voice, “Venerable One, I will find the best opportunity to kill Ye Jiang. I also hope that you can help my junior, whose talent is indeed far superior to mine.”
He was never going to live long anyway.
If this mission could provide an opportunity for a junior to become a god, then it would undoubtedly be worthwhile.
"rest assured."
“I will keep my promise,” Venerable Tiancang said. “Now that you have made your decision, act as soon as possible. Ye Jiang has considerable talent and will probably break through again soon, which will only make the assassination more difficult.”
"Understood." Gray nodded solemnly, and then the projection slowly dissipated.
The main star of the Huanglong civilization is clearly divided into distinct layers and maintains a well-ordered system.
In the heart of the region, the ancestral lands of the nine great divine races stand majestically, encircling the Radiant Dragon Divine Diagram Tower. The power of heaven and earth is so dense that it transforms into tangible streams of light, nourishing the core members of each race. An invisible pressure envelops all directions, preventing outsiders from approaching.
The second ring is the territory of the subordinate ethnic groups.
Each race depends on the nine great divine races for survival. Their mansions stand side by side, with frequent exchanges and a mixed yet vibrant atmosphere. It is a buffer zone between the core and the periphery, where many forces intersect.
Beyond the third ring lies the activity area of outsiders. This place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, a hub for information exchange, and also an ideal hiding place for lurkers.
The figure of Hui He was hidden in a dilapidated attic in the third ring road.
He was dressed in a gray robe, blending into his surroundings, his aura completely concealed, like a stubborn rock that had been silent for ages.
His gaze pierced through the gaps in the attic, locking onto the direction of the core area, a hint of sinister intent and restraint flashing in his eyes.
"Mingxin Hall".
"The core of the Crimson God Clan." Gray Mist murmured, his fingertips tracing a jet-black poisonous thorn in his palm.
A faint black mist swirled around the poisonous stinger, containing a potent poison capable of instantly disintegrating the body of a demigod.
Having lurked on the main star of Huanglong for three hundred years, he knows the rules here like the back of his hand.
The core area is shrouded in layers of divine sense from the nine major divine races. Let alone assassination, even getting within a kilometer would be detected instantly, leaving no place for burial.
Although the second ring is protected by affiliated groups, it also has many blind spots in surveillance, making it the only place where one can take action.
Since contacting Venerable Beicang, Huihe has been lying in wait here, quietly waiting for the right moment to make his move.
But as time goes by...
one day.
Ten days.
One hundred days.
Ye Jiang has been in the Mingxin Hall for a full hundred days.
The doors of the Mingxin Hall remained tightly closed, without the slightest movement, as if the people inside had long since secluded themselves from the world, focusing on cultivation and detached from worldly affairs.
"Is he going to stay inside forever?" Hui He felt anxious, but he forced himself to suppress it.
He knew that the most important thing in demigod cultivation is to avoid being impatient. Ye Jiang was able to become a third-level demigod at the age of thirty, so his temperament must be far superior to that of ordinary people, and he was able to keep his composure.
But he didn't believe that Ye Jiang could never leave the Mingxin Palace.
"The nine great divine races of Huanglong never work in isolation." A hint of certainty flashed in Huihe's eyes.
Having been in hiding for many years, he was well aware of the rules of the nine great divine clans.
Every so often, various ethnic groups organize small gatherings for the younger generation, ostensibly for discussions and exchanges, but in reality, they are grand events for resource exchange and networking.
The meeting not only allows participants to gain a large amount of Radiant Dragon Merit through exchanges, but also provides an opportunity to discuss the mysteries of the laws with exceptionally talented individuals.
This is crucial to the path of a demigod, and almost no demigod would miss it.
"This Yejiang."
"He already possesses extraordinary talent, and he's also a disciple of Venerable Bai." Huihe thought to himself, "He's ambitious and would never miss such an opportunity."
Huihe waited patiently, suppressing its aura even lower, like a shadow merging into the darkness, quietly lying in wait.
He must be patient.
After all, he didn't have much time left to live, and this mission was his last chance.
……
Inside the Mingxin Hall.
Jiang Ye sat cross-legged, surrounded by a faint golden aura.
"Whoosh~" The power of heaven and earth surged into his body like a tide, nourishing the five great mysteries and the two great laws.
During those 100 days, he did not stagnate.
With the support of the abundant power of heaven and earth in the Mingxin Palace, and with the assistance of the third-order Enlightenment Divine Jade, his cultivation steadily advanced towards the late stage of the third-order demigod, and his understanding of the mysteries of the laws became increasingly profound.
"Buzzing~"
The identity bracelet on his wrist suddenly vibrated, and a clear and pleasant voice entered his mind, carrying a hint of excitement.
"Fellow Daoist Ye Jiang?"
It was Chi Jiuxin's voice.
"Fellow Daoist Jiuxin." Jiang Ye opened his eyes, responded with his divine sense, and spoke in a calm tone.
"I have great news for you!" Chi Jiuxin's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement: "The Red Mansion gathering is starting in three days, do you want to come?"
"A small gathering at the Red Mansion?" Jiang Ye's eyebrows twitched slightly, revealing a hint of doubt.
“Yes!” Chi Jiuxin quickly explained, “It’s a routine gathering of the younger generation of the nine great divine clans, held at the Red Pavilion of our Chi Divine Clan.”
"At the meeting, we can discuss and exchange ideas, as well as exchange treasures. Most importantly, the winners will receive a massive amount of merit points!"
Jiang Ye's eyes lit up instantly when his merits were mentioned.
Although he now has the protection of a Venerable One, the resources required for his cultivation are enormous. Whether it is to break through to the fourth-order demigod or to prepare for the Hundred Star God War, he needs a large amount of merit points to exchange for treasures.
"Is there really such a good thing?" Jiang Ye's tone was somewhat tempted.
"Of course!"
Chi Jiuxin smiled and said, "Last time, I exchanged idle law crystals for a lot of merit points, and also exchanged insights on the Ash Law with several geniuses. I gained a lot."
"Moreover, many important figures have come to this gathering, and several geniuses with exceptional talent will also be present, which will be beneficial for your advancement to the level of exceptional talent."
Jiang Ye quickly began to make plans in his mind.
With the Hundred Star God Battle imminent, accumulating merits, exchanging insights, and getting familiar with the strengths of other geniuses are indeed good things.
“Okay, I’ll go.” Jiang Ye agreed immediately without the slightest hesitation.
"Great!" Chi Jiu was overjoyed: "I'll be waiting for you at the outer gate of the Crimson God Clan three days from now, at Chen Shi (7-9 AM). I'll take you in then."
"Mm." Jiang Ye nodded and cut off the telepathic communication.
He closed his eyes again, but a hint of anticipation lingered on his lips.
He was determined to obtain the Glory Dragon Merit.
Those exceptionally talented geniuses will also be his preliminary opponents on his path to becoming a Hundred Star God.
……
Huanglong Main Star, the sacred land of the Bai people.
The White Venerable sat serenely on a cloud bed, surrounded by a hazy mist of light, exuding unparalleled holiness.
But through the light and mist, one could see that this venerable one, standing at the top of the Huanglong civilization, was frowning deeply.
In His mind, the scene of the Radiant Dragon God Diagram shaking on that day replayed repeatedly.
"Who exactly is it?"
Ever since the divine diagram trembled that day, and the essence of the Radiant Dragon was nourished, Venerable White has been investigating the person behind it all.
But no matter how he deduced it, he couldn't find the slightest clue.
The rules within the Divine Tower are unique, preventing any traceability; even He, as a Venerable One, cannot glimpse the situation at that time.
"Could it be Bai Cantian?"
The White Venerable muttered to himself, then shook his head.
Although Bai Cantian's "Mending the Sky" technique is powerful, it focuses on repairing one's own Dao foundation rather than the origin of heaven and earth, so it is impossible for him to have such skill.
"Prince Huang? Or some other genius?"
Names flashed through His mind, but were all rejected one by one.
Although those people were exceptionally talented, none of them possessed the ability to repair their original essence.
Just when He was completely baffled and filled with doubt.
"Om-"
A vast and boundless will suddenly enveloped the entire Huanglong Main Star.
This will is ancient and powerful, as if it has existed since the beginning of the universe, carrying endless majesty and vitality. It is the will of the Radiant Dragon!
"He's awake?"
Venerable Bai suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise and solemnity flashing in them.
After the civilization's struggle ended, the will of the Radiant Dragon fell into slumber, absorbing the gifts of the universe.
The awakening of the Huanglong civilization signifies that its foundation has deepened further, bringing it one step closer to the birth of the next god.
"Radiant Dragon." Venerable White bowed respectfully, sending out his divine sense.
"Congratulations on the awakening of your will; your essence is even stronger than before."
He specifically mentioned the origin, actually wanting to take the opportunity to find out the truth behind the shaking of the divine diagram.
A gentle wave emanated from the Radiant Dragon's will, carrying a hint of pleasure and satisfaction.
[You've been worried. This awakening is thanks to a slight replenishment of my essence.]
"As expected, someone has replenished the source!" Venerable Bai's heart stirred, and he quickly asked, "I wonder which fellow Daoist lent a helping hand, so that I may express my gratitude in person and repay him handsomely."
After a moment of silence, the will of the Radiant Dragon entered Venerable White's mind with crystal clarity, without the slightest ambiguity.
[Ye Jiang.]
"what?"
The White Venerable's body jolted violently. He stood frozen in place, and only after a moment did an expression of disbelief and astonishment appear on his face.
Ye Jiang?
That 30-year-old third-tier demigod?
How could he possibly have the ability to repair the essence of the Radiant Dragon?
This is something even a Venerable One cannot do; it requires the ability to touch the very origin of the universe!
"Huanglong, are you sure?" Venerable Bai couldn't help but confirm again, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.
Ye Jiang's secrets seem to be more numerous than he imagined.
At the age of thirty, he achieved the third-tier demigod status, sweeping away thousands of extraordinary talents... and now he can even repair the planet's origin?
[Correct]
The fluctuations of the Radiant Dragon's will were unwavering.
[It possesses a special ability to repair fundamental rifts. Although it only mended a tiny crack, its significance is immense, laying the foundation for my subsequent awakening.]
