Chapter 486 Huge Gain! New Achievement (Two-in-One, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Jiang Ye was slightly taken aback.
He certainly knew what the Venerable One was referring to.
[A mayfly trying to shake a tree!]
However, no one had ever asked about this ability before, assuming it was his own combat strength.
But in the Venerable One's eyes, it was clearly not that simple.
"Yes."
"Given the teacher's status, he has probably already noticed some clues," Jiang Ye understood.
Since the other party has specifically pointed it out.
If Jiang Ye continues to conceal the truth, it might arouse the Venerable One's suspicion.
Think about this.
"Teacher, this is a special ability of your disciple."
"When facing an opponent whose realm is higher than mine, my combat power will temporarily surge." Jiang Ye said frankly, "Just now, when I broke through to the peak of the fourth level of the Qinggu Burning Secret Technique, I happened to trigger the effect of this ability, which is why I was lucky enough to severely injure him with one palm."
He downplayed the key points, deliberately omitting the specific effects of "a mayfly trying to shake a tree," and only pointed out the core utility of the ability.
"I see."
A hint of realization flashed in Venerable White's eyes, but he did not delve into it further.
In a Level 2 civilization, geniuses often have extraordinary opportunities. Although such special abilities are rare, they are not entirely unique.
He had also seen similar heaven-defying abilities among some of the most gifted individuals.
"Ye Jiang".
"Your abilities are indeed impressive," Venerable White said slowly, "but you must remember that everything in excess is as bad as deficiency."
"We must not rely on it too much, and we must also avoid being discovered and targeted by others," said Venerable White.
"Disciple understands," Jiang Ye replied with a bow.
As expected, Venerable Bai did not press for details, which relieved him—the system was his greatest trump card, and he absolutely could not reveal even a trace of it.
At this time.
"Whoosh!" Venerable White suddenly waved his hand.
Two treasures slowly emerged, hovering in the center of the hall, emanating a powerful and pure aura.
One of the items was pure white, with a texture as smooth and warm as jade, and its surface was engraved with intricate dragon patterns. It was the [Dragon Ruins Token] that Venerable White had previously requested from the Lord of the Radiant Dragon.
The other object was a rhombus-shaped crystal, about the size of a fist, with a seven-colored, interwoven aura of law flowing inside. Its aura was extremely pure, far surpassing any law treasure that Jiang Ye had ever seen, and even the surrounding power of heaven and earth trembled at it.
"Teacher, what's going on?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.
"Those who rank third in the Nine Clans Meeting shall be rewarded."
"Although you have already received a reward," Venerable White's voice boomed, "as my disciple, I will bestow upon you an additional reward."
"This is the [Dragon Ruins Token]."
"It contains a wisp of the will of the Lord of the Radiant Dragon, which can protect your soul from destruction," said Venerable White. "No one below the Venerable level can harm your life."
The will of the Lord of the Radiant Dragon?!
Jiang Ye held his breath, knowing how precious this was, probably beyond measure in value.
Before Jiang Ye could react...
"This is the [Divine Crystal of Laws]."
"It is a law treasure of a higher level than a fourth-order law fruit." Venerable Bai pointed to the rhombus-shaped crystal: "It contains complete law Dao rhyme, which can help you quickly refine your laws, and may even help you reach the perfection of your laws."
call!
With a wave of his hand, the two treasures floated towards Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye hurriedly and solemnly accepted it.
A warm touch came from his palm, and the seven-colored halo within the Law Divine Crystal flowed. Just by getting close, his understanding of the three core laws became clearer, and those obscure points that were difficult to comprehend in the past began to have a faint sense of connection.
"This?" Jiang Ye was secretly shocked, and a guess came to him in an instant.
An unparalleled treasure.
Far exceeding the cultivation resources I've used in the past!
"Thank you for your kind instruction, teacher. I will certainly live up to your expectations." Jiang Ye bowed deeply, his voice full of gratitude.
"No need for thanks." Venerable Bai waved his hand, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes: "These treasures are merely an aid to you."
"True strength ultimately depends on oneself."
"If you can secure a top-three finish in the Hundred Star God Battle, I will bestow upon you another supreme treasure, one that is a hundred times more valuable than this item," Venerable White said with a smile.
Jiang Ye was shocked, and his breathing became rapid. A treasure a hundred times more powerful than this thing?
This Law Crystal was already beyond his imagination.
"This disciple will certainly do his utmost," Jiang Ye said solemnly.
Venerable Bai nodded slightly, his expression returning to its usual calm: "Go, seize the time to cultivate. The intensity of the Hundred Star God Battle far surpasses that of the Nine Clans Meeting."
"Yes!" Jiang Ye bowed respectfully again, then turned and left the temple.
Not long after Jiang Ye left.
Inside the main hall, the void suddenly trembled.
"Buzz!" A vast and unfathomable will descended, causing the stellar flow of the entire temple to stop, as if all things in heaven and earth bowed down before this will.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Venerable White rose and bowed.
"White Sky".
"You really intend to give him that treasure?" A vast will resounded, tinged with surprise: "That is the treasure that your Bai clan cherishes."
"then."
"To obtain it, you ventured into perilous cosmic lands and contended with several gods," the vast will said. "And now you intend to easily bestow it upon a disciple of a foreign race?"
"Your Majesty is wise."
“That treasure is precious, but it has been sealed away in our Bai clan for ten thousand years.” Venerable Bai said softly, “Although there are many younger generations in the clan, none of them can truly bring out its potential. Rather than letting it gather dust, it is better to give it to a truly promising genius like Ye Jiang.”
“If Ye Jiang can secure a top-three finish in the Hundred Star God Battle, he will qualify to study at the Cai Kun Civilization,” said Venerable Bai.
"Third-level civilizations are teeming with powerful individuals, and their laws are even more profound."
“Although he has the opportunity, his foundation is still shallow. That treasure can help him gain a firm foothold and may even allow him to touch a higher level of the Dao.” Venerable White had a clear plan.
In His eyes, Ye Jiang's potential was even greater than that of Bai Cantian and Wang Zihuang.
There is no other reason.
Bai Cantian and Prince Huang are already exceptionally talented.
And Ye Jiang? He's just extraordinary.
Those who are extraordinary possess such potential; if they were to advance to the level of a prodigy in the future, their future would be limitless.
"Top three in the Hundred Star God Battle?"
"Bai Qiong, you still overestimate him." The vast will shook its head: "There are hundreds of second-level star civilizations in the White Dragon Star Cluster, many of which have a long history. Some civilizations have continued for hundreds of thousands of years and have an extremely profound foundation."
"A great number of geniuses have emerged, and extraordinary talents have gathered."
"Some geniuses have already touched the threshold of godhood, some have inherited ancient divine abilities, and some possess special physiques, such as the 'Chaotic Physique' and the 'Star Physique,' which allow them to fight across major realms without being at a disadvantage."
"Although Ye Jiang has considerable talent, it is extremely difficult for him to stand out from the crowd." The vast will said, "Let alone the top three, making it into the top ten is already the limit."
The Lord of the Radiant Dragon has a higher perspective and sees further than the White Venerable.
He was even more aware of the level of those top geniuses in the Hundred Star God War.
"What the king says is absolutely right."
The White Venerable sighed softly, "I am also aware of the difficulty involved."
"I only meant to encourage them; I didn't have high expectations."
"But this child has profound opportunities, and perhaps he can create a miracle." Venerable White still held a glimmer of hope.
……
Jiang Ye, carrying the Dragon Ruins Token and the Law Divine Crystal, quickly returned to the Mingxin Palace. "This time, the gains have been enormous."
"It's time to go back and cultivate." Jiang Ye's heart was filled with anticipation.
But as soon as he arrived at the entrance of Mingxin Hall, he saw a figure in white standing gracefully in front of the door. Her white clothes were as white as snow, and her skirt swayed gently.
Her face was stunningly beautiful, with a hint of aloofness between her brows, making her completely different from the lively and cheerful girl she used to be. Only her clear eyes still retained a touch of purity.
"Wang Zilu?" Jiang Ye stopped in his tracks.
"Fellow Daoist Ye Jiang."
"Congratulations on winning third place in the Nine Clans Meeting." Wang Zilu stepped forward with graceful steps, a faint smile appearing on her face, like the first melting of ice and snow, breaking the usual coldness.
Jiang Ye nodded slightly: "Shall we come in and talk?"
The other party was waiting here specifically because they had something important to tell them.
Prince Lu nodded and then quickly stepped forward.
Inside the Mingxin Hall.
“I have indeed come today to tell you something,” Wang Zilu said, getting straight to the point.
She paused, her expression turning serious: "I saw images of Chen Zilu again."
"Chen Zilu?" Jiang Ye's expression hardened. "You saw her? Where?"
Chen Zilu's whereabouts have always been his biggest concern.
Since losing contact, Jiang Ye had been searching for clues without any success. Now that he had finally received news, how could he not take it seriously?
“The image was very blurry.” Wang Zilu recalled carefully: “She was in an extremely dark space, and there seemed to be chains binding her all around.”
"In the picture."
"Her eyes were tightly closed, her brows were furrowed, as if she were trapped in some inescapable nightmare, and her whole body was trembling."
"Moreover," Wang Zilu hesitated for a moment, then continued, "she kept repeating a certain name."
"Oh?"
"What's your name?" Jiang Ye was slightly taken aback.
"Eno."
Wang Zilu uttered those two words softly, her tone gentle, yet they struck Jiang Ye like a thunderclap.
Jiang Ye stood there, stunned, his heart trembling, and a nameless sadness welled up inside him.
Chen Zilu, in the darkness, was calling his name?
What exactly happened to her? And where is that dark space?
Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Ye's mind before he looked at Wang Zilu again.
"Do you know exactly where she is? What are the obvious features of that dark space?" Jiang Ye forced down his distracting thoughts and asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know the exact location."
“But judging from the environment in the picture, she should still be in that tower that hangs upside down in the sky.” Wang Zilu said, “The atmosphere of that tower is the same as the picture I saw before, except that this time the space seems to be deeper in the tower, and the atmosphere of darkness and coldness is more intense.”
A tower suspended upside down in the sky!
Jiang Ye silently recited these words, engraving them firmly in his mind.
That tower must be the key. No matter the cost, he must find it and find Chen Zilu.
"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist." Jiang Ye took a deep breath and thanked him solemnly.
This information is still quite fragmented.
But for Jiang Ye, it was extremely crucial.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ye looked at Wang Zilu in front of him again.
Looking at that pretty face that was so similar to Chen Zilu's, Jiang Ye couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.
"Fellow Daoist."
"Have you encountered anything lately?" Jiang Ye suddenly asked.
"No." Wang Zilu shook her head, her eyes filled with doubt, as if she was wondering why he asked that.
Jiang Ye hesitated for a moment, then said frankly, "I feel that you are somewhat different from before."
“Different?” Wang Zilu blinked her beautiful eyes.
She raised her hand and touched her cheek: "Really? I didn't notice. Perhaps it's because I've been focusing on cultivation lately, and my state of mind has changed."
"Perhaps I was mistaken." Jiang Ye smiled and didn't ask any further questions.
He could sense that Wang Zilu wasn't lying; she genuinely seemed unaware of her own changes.
soon.
Wang Zilu got up and left. The starry sky was vast and the moonlight enveloped her, making her figure appear even more cold and frail.
Watching Wang Zilu's departing figure, Jiang Ye began to ponder.
Could Wang Zilu's changes be related to Chen Zilu? What exactly is their relationship? Why is Wang Zilu able to see images of Chen Zilu multiple times?
These questions lingered in my mind, yet I had no way to answer them.
Jiang Ye shook his head, suppressing these thoughts for the time being.
The most urgent task is to improve our strength and win a top-three finish in the Hundred Star God Battle. Only in this way can we qualify to go to a Level 3 civilization and have enough power to find Chen Zilu's whereabouts.
……
Upon entering the Mingxin Hall, Jiang Ye carefully put the Dragon Ruins Token away from his body and his gaze fell on the Law God Crystal.
The crystal emitted a seven-colored halo, and the laws and principles within it flowed. Just by getting close, his understanding of the laws of the spear, ash, and the void became clearer.
"Cultivate." Jiang Ye sat down cross-legged, held the Law God Crystal in his palm, closed his eyes, and began to absorb its power.
Wow~
The laws and principles within the divine crystal flowed into Jiang Ye's body like a gentle stream, circulating along his divine meridians and merging into the five great mysteries and two great laws.
The laws that were originally sluggish now flowed smoothly, and the bottlenecks that were difficult to comprehend in the past gradually loosened up imperceptibly.
While absorbing the power of the divine crystal, Jiang Ye reviewed the battle of the Nine Clans Meeting.
The fact that Prince Huang instantly killed a fourth-tier peak Black Clan genius with a single move, and the unparalleled domineering power of the Imperial Law, left a deep impression on him.
There's also Bai Cantian, who, though he hasn't made a move, always gives off an unfathomable aura.
"These top geniuses truly live up to their reputation," Jiang Ye thought to himself.
He knew very well that his victory over Qing Gu was largely due to luck. If Qing Gu hadn't been so eager to win that he forced a breakthrough and triggered his "Mayfly Shaking a Tree" technique, the outcome would have been uncertain.
In the Battle of the Hundred Stars, the opponents you encounter will only be stronger and more experienced. If you want to stand out, you must not be complacent in the slightest.
More importantly, to advance one's genius talent through the system, one must accumulate sufficient fame.
"The word 'fame'."
"Just getting into the top few dozen in the Hundred Star God Battle is definitely not enough." Jiang Ye understood this: "Only by taking the top three, or even first place, can we have absolute confidence."
not to mention.
According to Venerable Bai, only by ranking in the top three can one obtain the qualification to study in the Caikun Civilization. This is his only clue in finding Chen Zilu.
"No matter what, we must secure a top-three finish!" A resolute glint flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.
He knew all too well that this was no easy task.
There are hundreds of prodigies from second-level civilizations, each with their own hidden strengths. To stand out from the crowd, one must surpass their current self and constantly break through their limits.
Jiang Ye took a deep breath, stopped thinking about it, and devoted himself to cultivation.
The power of the Law Crystal flowed into his body continuously, and the five mysteries were perfected at a visible speed. His aura became more and more refined, and he kept moving towards the limit of the fourth-order peak.
Just as Jiang Ye was immersed in cultivation.
A crisp system notification suddenly rang in his mind:
[You have achieved a new accomplishment: Third place in the Upper Realm Sect Competition, your strength has been recognized by tens of millions of people]
[Unlock Title: Revealing Fairy Beauty]
