Dragon Ruins Order! The Meeting of the Nine Clans Begins
Chapter 480 Dragon Ruins Order! The Nine Clans Meeting Begins (Two Chapters Combined, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
"???"
Upon hearing Venerable White's words, Jiang Ye was momentarily stunned.
Even if you meet these three conditions, you only have a 30% chance of becoming a god?
"Is it that low?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask.
If it were an ordinary genius...
Putting everything else aside, just the first point alone—fully mastering the Great Dao Planet—would probably take a very long time.
Not to mention the tempering of martial will and innate supernatural abilities, which is even more difficult.
Jiang Ye has the Martial Arts Ladder and guidance from a Venerable One, but both require a long period of honing.
Ordinary people have no hope at all.
But even under such difficult circumstances, the probability is only 30%?
"of course."
“What I was referring to just now was extraordinary talent,” Venerable White added. “If a prodigy’s talent meets these three conditions, they will have a 50% chance of being chosen.”
It turned out to be the case.
Jiang Ye suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that the chances of becoming a god differed depending on one's innate talent.
However, even 50% is still very low, isn't it?
"Adding some extremely rare natural treasures can also increase the chances by 10% to 20%," Venerable White continued.
"This is the limit."
"Unless a heaven-defying formation like the Hundred Billion Refining God Formation is used, which can barely achieve an 80% or higher success rate, a 70% success rate is the upper limit for most geniuses' talents," Venerable Bai shook his head.
Jiang Ye listened, holding his breath.
Even with exceptional talent, the highest chance is only 70%.
Becoming a god is truly difficult.
"That's normal."
"Those who possess the qualifications to become gods are often geniuses chosen from among ten thousand." The god [Xihe] laughed, "And among them, those who ultimately become gods are also chosen from among ten thousand."
The "one in ten thousand" she mentioned is obviously an exaggeration.
The actual proportions are far more exaggerated than this.
"No wonder."
“Even in a Level 2 civilization, gods hold an extremely high status.” Jiang Ye finally understood this point.
No deity should be underestimated.
"Ye Jiang".
"After the Hundred Star God Battle, if you can advance your genius talent, becoming a god will be much easier than it is now," Venerable White said. "Work hard."
The difference between a prodigy and an extraordinary individual may seem to be only a 20% probability.
However, considering the availability of rare and precious natural materials and the influence of many other factors, this gap often reaches 30% or even 40% or more.
After all, the same treasure will have completely different effects when used by an extraordinary person and when used by a prodigy.
"I will definitely try my best," Jiang Ye said solemnly.
"Ah."
"Furthermore, now that you have broken through to the peak of the fourth rank," Venerable White said, "your opponents at the Nine Clans Meeting a month from now will be those fourth-rank demigods."
"Remember to be gentle."
The White Venerable's smile was meaningful.
Jiang Ye nodded, knowing that the Venerable One was reminding him to remember to hold back his trump cards.
"Of course, there's no need to be too reserved."
"If you can get into the top ten, the reward will be quite substantial," said Venerable Bai. "As long as you don't run into Bai Cantian, Prince Huang, and the others."
"How strong are they?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.
How strong?
"Haha, they reached the peak of the fourth rank ten or twenty years before you." Venerable Bai said with a smile, "In recent years, although their progress has not been as fast as yours, it is still quite remarkable."
"More importantly..."
“Their innate supernatural powers are far more complete than yours,” Venerable White said meaningfully.
Jiang Ye held his breath.
In that case, he really shouldn't underestimate those people.
After all, he was a top genius of the previous generation.
“Alright, I won’t say more,” Venerable White said with a smile. “This is a matter between you juniors.”
To Venerable Bai, Bai Cantian and Prince Huang were also his juniors, and they were all his flesh and blood.
He naturally wouldn't show favoritism to anyone.
"I'm leaving now," said Venerable White. "You can contact me anytime if you need anything."
"Yes," Jiang Ye replied, cupping his hands in greeting.
Soon after, Venerable Bai and the two deities departed one after the other.
Inside the Mingxin Hall, Jiang Ye sat cross-legged, his fingertips caressing his identity bracelet, having already made up his mind.
Over the past three years, he has focused on comprehending the laws and refining his spear technique. Although he has made progress in his divine skills such as the [Great Void Dharma Form] and the [Nine Netherworld Ten Thousand Demon Palm], he is far from perfect.
Now that he has advanced to the peak of the fourth-order demigod, with a solid foundation in the laws, it is the best time to complete his divine abilities.
"The next month."
"I will try my best to cultivate these supernatural abilities to perfection," Jiang Ye thought to himself.
This seems impossible.
However, within the White Dragon Royal Court, time flows at fifteen times the normal speed.
The physical body has been cultivating for one month, while the Dao body has been cultivating for fifteen months!
A year or so is enough time for him to slowly refine his skills.
"Among these supernatural powers."
"The Nine Netherworld Demon Palm is the supreme killing technique, and its power is the most domineering," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "I need to break through to it first."
Thinking about this...
Jiang Ye no longer hesitated. Black light surged around him, and the demonic energy of the Nine Netherworlds gathered from the void, condensing into a phantom of a purgatory in the hall, where countless demonic figures roared and writhed.
"Splash~"
He raised his hand and drew upon his demigod power, a dense black light condensing in his palm. Following the method taught by Venerable White, he repeatedly deduced the trajectory of his palm technique.
The Nine Netherworld Demon Palm emphasizes killing and killing, but even more so, it emphasizes willpower. One must suppress demonic thoughts with one's own will in order to control all demons.
Jiang Ye combined the solidity of the Star River Divine Body with the eeriness of the Void Laws into his palm strike. With a single palm strike, the black light landed and transformed into thousands of demonic claws, tearing at the void, yet they were always firmly bound by his will, without releasing a trace of ferocity.
While cultivating simultaneously in the White Dragon Royal Court, the intertwining of dragon energy and demonic energy added an extra layer of domineering power to the killing intent of his palm techniques.
The memories of the physical body and the Dao body are interconnected, and each insight can be mutually verified, allowing the progress of the palm technique to advance by leaps and bounds.
During his cultivation, Jiang Ye was repeatedly attacked by demonic thoughts. He used the power of annihilation to dissolve the demonic nature. When his divine power was insufficient, he would consume a fourth-order law fruit to instantly replenish his foundation.
Inside the Mingxin Hall, the demonic howl never ceased day or night, black and golden light flashed alternately, and the sharp whistling of palm winds tearing through the air rose and fell one after another.
Jiang Ye immersed himself in the art, incorporating the disruptive principles of spear techniques into his palm strikes, making each strike both powerful and unpredictable.
He would sometimes concentrate on deducing the details of the palm technique, and sometimes stand up to practice the connection between moves. The demonic energy around him pressed down so hard that the power of heaven and earth in the hall was stagnant.
On the seventh day, Jiang Ye struck out with his palm, and within the illusory image of Purgatory, the phantom of the Demon Lord materialized. The force of his palm struck the defensive runes on the palace wall, creating ripples.
His eyes lit up, realizing that his palm technique had reached the mid-stage of mastery. He then increased the intensity of his training, and the demonic roar became increasingly violent. Even the Crimson God Clan guards outside the hall could feel the chilling killing aura.
Half a month later, Jiang Ye had reached the late stage of mastery of the [Nine Netherworld Demon Palm], but he did not stop.
He drew upon the mysteries of the Five Elements, harmonizing the sharpness of metal, the intensity of fire, the gentleness of water, the sinking power of earth, and the vitality of wood with the demonic power in his palm, making the killing force more varied, no longer just blind rage. On the nineteenth day, Jiang Ye attempted to integrate the laws of the spear into his palm technique. With a single strike, the demonic light, carrying the sharpness of a spear tip, pierced directly through the illusory image of Purgatory, leaving a thin black crack in the void.
On the twenty-second day, he suffered the greatest backlash from demonic thoughts since he began cultivating. Countless demonic shadows roared and attacked the barrier of his divine sense in his sea of consciousness. Jiang Ye's veins bulged all over his body and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but he held on to his mind and used the [White Dragon True God Scripture] to forcefully suppress them.
By the morning of the thirtieth day, the demonic power and the power of law within Jiang Ye's body had completely merged, and his palm techniques flowed without any further stagnation.
……
the other side.
After leaving the Mingxin Hall, Venerable Bai took a step and directly pierced through the layers of spatial barriers of the Huanglong Main Star.
The destination is the [Dragon Ruins Temple] in the central region of the main star.
This is the residence of the Lord of the Radiant Dragon.
The temple has no gates or guards, only an invisible barrier of laws that prevents even a Venerable One from entering without being summoned.
"Bai Qiong requests an audience with the King." Venerable Bai bowed respectfully, his voice steady and reverent.
He waited patiently for a moment.
A faint voice echoed in the void: "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the barrier vanished.
"Whoosh~" Venerable White flew into the temple, and his vision suddenly opened up.
Within the main hall, a world unto itself unfolded, with galaxies flowing and dragon energy overflowing. Countless patterns of laws intertwined to form a net, yet the figure of the Lord of the Radiant Dragon remained elusive.
Only a vast, unfathomable will permeated every inch of space, inspiring even Venerable White to feel a sense of awe.
"Report to the Lord of the Kingdom."
“Ye Jiang has broken through to the peak of the fourth-order demigod.” The White Venerable stood in the hall and said directly, “His foundation in the laws is solid, his spear technique is comparable to the limit of demigods, and he has also integrated the laws of the Five Elements, Ash, and Void. He is expected to become a god in the future.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the Milky Way in the hall suddenly froze.
The vast will rippled slightly, revealing a hint of barely perceptible surprise: "Three years, from the peak of the third to the fourth rank? And he even cultivated two laws? This boy is indeed extraordinary."
"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I am worried about."
“Ye Jiang has progressed too quickly,” Venerable Bai said softly. “His talent may arouse the apprehension of the Cangxu Civilization.”
"The Cangxu Civilization has always coveted my Huanglong Civilization. If they had known about such a genius, they would have wanted to eliminate him as soon as possible."
“I have come here to earnestly request Your Majesty to grant him protection and help him through his formative years,” said Venerable White.
If it's just Venerable Cangxu targeting Jiang Ye, then Venerable Bai has his own way of dealing with him.
But what Venerable White is truly worried about.
It was the malice of the Lord of Cangxu.
Only the Lord of the Radiant Dragon could contend with such an existence.
"Bai Qiong, Ye Jiang is not a native life form of my Huanglong."
"You have asked me to protect him." The voice of the vast will is majestic: "But if he becomes a god in the future, he may not be able to truly serve my Huanglong."
Gods can come and go freely in any star system.
Unless certain unequal treaties are signed.
That's clearly not the style of the Huanglong civilization.
"Your Majesty is wise."
“With Ye Jiang’s talent, he will definitely go to the third-level civilization, the Cai Kun civilization, in the future.” Venerable Bai replied in a deep voice: “He may not stay long in the Huanglong civilization either.”
"But that's precisely why."
"If this child becomes a god in the future, he may become a Venerable One, or even a higher being."
"The protection we receive today will be a blessing for us in the future."
"For the strong, the friendships formed when they were weak are far more valuable than those formed after they have achieved success."
"Moreover, he possesses the authority of the Divine Son of the Radiant Dragon and is already a member of the Radiant Dragon. Protecting him is protecting the future of the Radiant Dragon," Venerable White said solemnly.
After a long silence in the temple, the Milky Way slowly resumed its flow, and the dragon energy gradually subsided.
for a long time.
"Very well." The vast will finally spoke: "Give him the [Dragon Ruins Token] and let a wisp of my will protect him."
"No one below Venerable Cangxu can harm him."
"If the Lord of Cangxu dares to make a move, I will deal with it myself." A vast will enveloped the entire hall, filled with majesty.
Call ~
A pure white token, engraved with ancient dragon patterns, slowly floated out from the void. The token was permeated with the will of the Lord of the Radiant Dragon. Although it was only a wisp, it had the power to suppress everything.
The White Venerable bowed and accepted the gift: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I hope it's as you say, that this child is not an ungrateful wretch." The vast will descended gently, and then fell silent.
The White Venerable One took the command and left the temple, his figure transforming into a stream of light and departing.
He knew that with this token, Jiang Ye could participate in the Nine Clans Meeting with peace of mind, without having to worry about the Cangxu Civilization's secret schemes.
……
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Mingxin Hall, the demonic howl abruptly ceased, and the illusory image of the Nine Netherworld Purgatory slowly dissipated.
Jiang Ye stood in the center of the hall, his body radiating a restrained black light. With a slight movement of his palm, a wisp of black light condensed and did not dissipate, within which the phantom of ten thousand demons appeared and disappeared, yet not a trace of his aura leaked out.
He raised his hand and struck the void. As the wind from his palm passed, ripples spread through the space, and a tiny black crack quietly appeared before instantly healing.
With complete control over his palm strikes, his demonic power and the laws of nature were perfectly intertwined, reaching a level where he could control his power at will.
【Nine Netherworld Demon Palm (Demigod Chapter): Perfection】
A smile appeared on Jiang Ye's lips. This supreme killing technique had finally come to fruition.
Now, with a single palm strike, he can summon countless demons from the Nine Netherworlds. His palm power merges with the laws and controls countless demons, making his power several times greater than before. Even a peak fourth-order demigod would find it difficult to withstand his might.
At the same time, the [Tai Xu Dharma Form] also broke through to 95% of its peak.
The percentage of "all things return to stillness" also reached 88%.
The Star River Divine Body has become increasingly resilient through continuous cultivation, and its divine energy reserves have more than doubled compared to a month ago.
The three laws intertwined and operated, making his overall combat strength several points stronger than before his breakthrough.
Jiang Ye concealed his aura, intending to continue refining the [Great Void Dharma Form].
Suddenly~
"Buzz!" The identity bracelet on my wrist vibrated.
A golden communication jade slip floated out of his bracelet and hovered in front of him.
The jade slip was decorated with dragon patterns of the Bai clan, which was a message from Venerable Bai.
Jiang Ye raised his hand and grasped the jade slip, his divine sense sinking into it. A steady voice rang out in his sea of consciousness: "Ye Jiang, the meeting of the nine clans has officially begun."
"With the meeting token, proceed quickly to the main hall of the Bai tribe and join the geniuses of each tribe at the meeting place."
Gather at the main hall?
Jiang Ye's heart stirred, and he raised his hand to summon the meeting token that Venerable Bai had given him a month ago.
The token exudes a rich aura of a dragon, and holding it in one's hand, one can almost feel the support of the entire Bai clan.
"It's finally starting." Jiang Ye took a deep breath.
The Nine Clans Gathering is a top-level event for the younger generation of Huanglong, where geniuses from all clans gather to compete and select seed players for the upcoming Hundred Star God War.
call!
Jiang Ye's figure blurred, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed straight out of the Mingxin Hall and sped towards the Bai Clan's main hall.
His figure pierced through layers of dragon energy, the sharpness of his spear and the demonic power of his palm techniques quietly brewing within him.
The aura of a peak fourth-tier demigod was completely concealed, yet unintentionally, it released a trace of oppressive power that made heaven and earth tremble.
