Upon hearing the response from the will of the Radiant Dragon, Venerable White took a deep breath.
"It seems so."
"It really was that kid who did it, which is quite surprising." Venerable White's expression was slightly strange: "That kid did something so big without saying a word, and I only found out now!"
If it were Bai Cantian or Prince Huang, they would have informed them immediately.
But what about Jiang Ye?
They've kept it a secret until now.
Thinking of this, Venerable Bai couldn't help but snort coldly. It seems that he needs to teach that brat a lesson and let him know what it means to 'respect one's teacher'!
"Whoo~"
With a wave of his hand, Venerable White immediately contacted the gods under his command.
Soon, a light screen projection appeared, showing a burly middle-aged man dressed in a black robe with a chiseled face and a fierce aura.
"Greetings, Your Excellency," the burly middle-aged man in black robes bowed.
"Ling Xuan".
"I have a task for you." Venerable White looked down at the middle-aged man in black robes: "From today onwards, you will secretly follow Ye Jiang and protect him, but do not let him know."
"Yes." The middle-aged man in black robes, Ling Xuan, replied without the slightest hesitation.
It is rare for a god to personally protect a demigod, but it is not unheard of.
Top geniuses of the Huanglong Civilization, such as Bai Cantian and Prince Huang, are usually protected by powerful beings in secret.
of course.
This is the first time I've ever seen a god protect someone with extraordinary talent.
"His Excellency personally entrusted this task, so it must be extremely important." Ling Xuan understood perfectly, and after agreeing, he gracefully departed.
On the throne.
"Repairing the essence of the Radiant Dragon is a great achievement." Venerable White sighed inwardly, "It seems that the national treasury will have to suffer another major loss this time."
Whoosh~ His form slowly dissipated.
Mingxin Hall.
Jiang Ye gripped the spear, which trembled violently, drawing upon countless mysteries of the laws of heaven and earth, which erupted from the spear tip.
Countless spear beams transformed into a gigantic star, which burned fiercely, unleashing terrifying pressure.
What's even more alarming is that as this burning star rises, the surrounding temperature also suddenly soars to an terrifying level.
Even a third-tier demigod would likely be instantly melted here.
"The fourth move of the Luoshen Spear Technique, the ultimate move: Burning Star."
"This move has become increasingly refined." Jiang Ye silently sensed that this ultimate move was even more powerful than when he faced Lei Jin before.
"My innate divine power is based on this 'Burning Star' technique."
"Combining the Star River Divine Body, the Void Dharma Image, and many other supreme techniques," Jiang Ye already had a rough model in his mind: "I hope to complete it completely before the Hundred Star God War."
Jiang Ye had a premonition.
Only when he condenses his innate divine power will he undergo a true transformation.
After all, one's innate divine power is a crucial step on the path to godhood and the most powerful means at the demigod stage.
suddenly.
"Ok?"
“Teacher.” Jiang Ye’s heart stirred. He had already sensed the fluctuations of Venerable Bai’s divine sense, and immediately bowed to pay his respects.
"No need for formalities," came Venerable Bai's voice. "I have just discovered that someone has repaired the Radiant Dragon's Origin. Are you aware of this?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye was immediately startled.
Repairing the essence of the Radiant Dragon is such a heaven-defying feat that it's impossible to explain.
Moreover, this is related to his future alteration of the origin of his life, his re-appointment as the 'Blue Sky Marquis,' and even his transformation into a powerful figure from another civilization, which is of great significance.
Therefore, he never told anyone about this.
"Did the teacher find out?" Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Ye's mind.
“I have already communicated with the will of the Radiant Dragon,” said Venerable White. “He said that this was your doing.”
"It really is me," Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.
Now that things have come to this, there's no point in hiding it anymore.
"How did you do that?" Venerable White asked curiously. "As far as I know, there is no similar talent among extraordinary endowments."
Let alone extraordinary talent, He had never seen even the most gifted genius.
Jiang Ye fell silent, unsure how to respond.
"Never mind."
“Since it’s your secret, then keep it safe.” Venerable White did not make things difficult for you: “But if such a thing happens in the future, you need to report to your master immediately.”
"Yes, teacher," Jiang Ye replied quickly.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed that the Venerable One did not intend to blame him.
"Repairing the essence of the Radiant Dragon is a great achievement."
"The corresponding Radiant Dragon Merit has been sent to your account," Venerable White said. "You can check it yourself."
“Yes,” Jiang Ye replied.
Whoosh~ Venerable White's divine sense slowly dissipated.
Jiang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but was not surprised that the Venerable One was busy with many affairs. Apart from his regular weekly sermons and teaching, he rarely appeared on weekdays.
It's quite rare for someone to make a special trip like this.
"Merit?" Jiang Ye recalled the previous conversation and immediately opened his personal account to check.
Name: Ye Jiang
[Dragon Merit Points: 5500 million]
"More than 50 million more all of a sudden?" Jiang Ye's eyes widened, followed by a surge of surprise.
He only repaired a trace of the Radiant Dragon's essence. Compared to the vastness of the World Tree, that trace was insignificant.
Moreover, Jiang Ye had already received a reward from the World Tree.
A seedling with branches and leaves from the world!
These 50 million merits are completely unearned.
"pity."
“My help to the Origin of the Radiant Dragon is still too insignificant.” Jiang Ye understood this: “The little repairs I made to it couldn’t even replenish the energy it consumed to manifest the World Tree.”
Otherwise, Jiang Ye could come every month.
Ultimately, it comes down to his lack of ability.
If Jiang Ye is strong enough to achieve a greater effect with 'Reunion,' then he won't have these concerns.
soon.
Jiang Ye stopped thinking about it and clicked on the merit exchange page to purchase several demigod-level law fruits.
"Just right."
"My profound laws are only one step away from the next level," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "These merits have come at just the right time."
Three days later, at Chen Shi (7-9 AM).
The doors of the Mingxin Hall slowly opened, and Jiang Ye, dressed in black and standing tall like a pine tree, stepped out.
The power of heaven and earth in the core area was as dense as a tide. Star patterns flickered around him, and his aura was solid and unadorned as he headed towards the outer gate of the Crimson God Clan. The Red Pavilion Gathering was related to exchanging a massive amount of merit points with the prodigies, and he was determined to obtain it.
Along the way, the guards of the Crimson God Clan all bowed respectfully upon seeing him, and no one dared to be negligent in the slightest.
Jiang Ye walked steadily, his divine sense spreading out, alert to any movement around him.
With the Hundred Star God Battle imminent, he knew he had made many enemies and dared not relax his guard in the slightest.
Suddenly, an extreme sense of crisis, like ice water poured over my head, swept over my entire body in an instant!
This sense of crisis came without warning, yet it was extremely intense, as if I would die and vanish in the next second!
"not good."
Jiang Ye's alarm bells rang loudly. His intuition, aided by his luck, had never been wrong. This was a deadly threat!
He almost subconsciously raised his hand to activate the Divine Decree on his wrist—a gift from Venerable White, which could summon divine powers three times!
But at that moment, something unexpected happened!
"Om-!"
A dark purple light curtain suddenly appeared from the void, instantly covering an area of a hundred miles, trapping Jiang Ye within it.
The screen of light was covered with strange runes, exuding an ancient and majestic aura. It was actually a sealed treasure of god-level quality!
"A divine-level treasure?" Jiang Ye's pupils shrank sharply.
Covering a hundred miles may seem insignificant, but this is the main star of Huanglong, which is full of powerful restrictions, making it difficult even for someone at the Nine Breaks level to escape into the air.
It's unimaginable that a treasure could cover an area of a hundred miles!
He tried to activate the Divine Decree, but found that the divine power within his body was frozen, and the connection with the Divine Decree was completely severed, making it impossible to activate it in the slightest.
"It's a sealing-type treasure." Jiang Ye instantly realized.
In the shadows, a sinister smile curled at the corner of Hui He's mouth.
He had been lying low for hundreds of years and knew the rules of the main star of Huanglong like the back of his hand.
"While divine-level killing treasures are certainly lethal, they can be instantly suppressed by the city's array formations and restrictions."
“But sealing treasures is different.” Gray understood this: “It does not directly kill, but it can block the means of gods and lock the activation of treasures of the same level.”
"Moreover, this child must possess a divine treasure bestowed by a Venerable One."
"Without first sealing off the area, there is absolutely no chance of winning!" Hui He knew this perfectly well.
He had waited too long for this day.
This [Gods' Conferred Light Curtain] is a priceless treasure he acquired with his life savings, prepared specifically for today's assassination attempt.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three loud explosions erupted almost simultaneously, as three jet-black lightning orbs, a battle blade wreathed in flames, and a giant shield covered in spikes hurtled towards Jiang Ye from three directions.
These are all peak-level treasures of the fourth-tier demigod, and their power is enough to kill any third-tier demigod!
The lightning orb exploded, unleashing a torrent of purplish-black lightning, containing the power to annihilate souls; the battle blade slashed, flames soaring to the heavens, tearing through the void with the might to burn everything; the giant shield crushed down, its immense weight seemingly about to collapse space itself.
The three treasures formed a seamless encirclement, and terrifying energy fluctuations swept in all directions, causing the power of heaven and earth in the core area to surge violently.
To outsiders, Jiang Ye had absolutely no chance of survival after this attack!
"Star River Divine Body, activate!"
Jiang Ye roared inwardly, and millions of star patterns around his body lit up instantly, shining brightly. His divine body hardened dramatically, becoming like an immortal star.
"Great Void Dharma Form, solidify!"
A towering Dharma image rose from the ground, its outline hazy, with starlight flowing through its eye slits, its hands crossed in front of it, forming an incomparably solid defense.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thunder, flames, and a giant shield struck the Dharma image in succession, unleashing a deafening roar.
A terrifying energy shockwave spread out, blasting a huge crater into the surrounding ground, sending debris flying and filling the air with smoke and dust.
The Taixu Dharma Image trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared on its surface. Golden divine blood seeped out from inside the Dharma Image, clearly indicating that it had withstood a tremendous impact.
Jiang Ye himself was also in a bad mood. His blood was churning, his throat tasted sweet, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, but he swallowed it back down.
"Such powerful force!" Jiang Ye was shocked.
The combined attack of these three peak fourth-tier demigod treasures was far more powerful than he had expected. If it weren't for the Star River Divine Body and the Void Dharma Image providing additional defense, he would probably have been seriously injured.
"fortunately."
"My profound laws have all reached the peak of the third-order demigod level." Jiang Ye secretly rejoiced.
Although only a hundred days have passed.
But several years had passed for Dao Shen.
Five profound mysteries and two great laws enabled him to rival a fourth-tier demigod even at the peak of the third-tier demigod realm.
Amidst the smoke and dust, the figure of Hui He burst forth like a ghost.
His gray robes fluttered in the wind, and he exuded a dense aura of death. His aura had reached its peak—the limit of demigod!
He had been lying low for three hundred years and had already touched the threshold of godhood; he was only one step away from breaking through.
"The intelligence from a few months ago indicated that he was only at the early stage of a third-tier demigod."
A flicker of fear flashed in Hui He's eyes, which quickly turned into ruthlessness: "In such a short time, you've already rivaled a fourth-tier demigod?"
The intelligence was accurate, but the strength Jiang Ye displayed before him overturned his understanding.
In just a few months, he jumped from a third-order demigod to a fourth-order demigod.
Such a cultivation speed is beyond the imagination, even for those with exceptional talent!
"No wonder the Venerable One wanted to kill this person." A chill ran through Hui He's heart: "If this person were to rise to power, he would surely be a great calamity for the Cangxu Civilization!"
Huihe doesn't actually have much affection for the Cangxu civilization.
He had been lying low in the Huanglong civilization for many years, all for the sake of his people and his descendants.
As long as one of his descendants can become a god, all his efforts will not have been in vain!
"It's been built up for so long."
"It's time to end this." A murderous intent burned in Gray's eyes.
He held a jet-black short blade in his hand, its blade shrouded in a faint black mist. It was his natal weapon, containing deadly poison and the law of destruction.
The previous blockade and bombing were merely to wear down Jiang Ye's defenses; this long-awaited all-out attack is the real killing move!
"call!"
Huihe moved with incredible speed, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air. His short blade was aimed directly at Jiang Ye's brow, carrying a determination to kill.
He wanted to pierce Jiang Ye's head with one blow, severing his life force and giving him no chance to retaliate!
The short blade sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and wherever the black mist passed, even the void itself showed signs of corrosion.
"Not good." Jiang Ye's pupils shrank sharply. Having just experienced the bombardment of treasures, his divine body and Dharma form were both in a weakened state.
Faced with this sudden and fatal blow, there was no way to avoid it!
The cracks on the Dharma Image widened instantly, and the star patterns on the surface of the divine body dimmed considerably. Jiang Ye could clearly feel the shadow of death rapidly enveloping him.
Just as the two were locked in fierce combat.
Deep within the core territory, a vast divine thought suddenly swept across.
"Oh no! It's a god!" Hui He's expression changed drastically. He could feel the terror of this divine thought, which far exceeded his imagination.
It was none other than the deity Lingxuan, who was ordered to secretly protect Jiang Ye!
Ling Xuan had been following Jiang Ye nearby and sensed the fluctuations of a divine-level treasure in the core area, instantly locking onto its location.
"Dare to assassinate a disciple of the Venerable One? You're courting death!"
Ling Xuan's voice, filled with boundless majesty, resounded throughout heaven and earth.
His body radiated divine light, transforming into a streak of light as he rapidly approached the battlefield.
As soon as the divine sense reached it, the advanced form of the sealing light barrier began to tremble violently, and cracks appeared.
Ling Xuan was trying his best to break through the blockade, but he was still some distance from the battlefield and it was too late to stop the final blow from the Gray Barrier!
A flash of madness and determination crossed Hui He's eyes; he knew he had no time left.
"Ye Jiang, die!"
He burned his own life force, his aura surged instantly, and the short blade in his hand, carrying the terrifying power of burning his life force, stabbed fiercely towards Jiang Ye's brow!
