High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 1258 - 564: Profound Celestial Maiden

This was the first time he possessed a divine weapon truly aligned with himself... Compared to the past Fire Dragon Spear, it was incomparably powerful.

Jiang Ye stopped in his tracks, standing in the center of the Nine-Star Divine Hall’s plaza.

He grasped the spear and raised his hand.

The spear tip slanted, pointing to the starry sky.

”Boom!” Without infusing any divine power, just a simple opening move caused the void within ten thousand miles around to silently collapse from the chaos’ icy glimmer at the spear tip.

Several passing disciples of the Nine-Star Divine Hall retreated in shock, their faces pale.

Jiang Ye retracted his spear and turned to leave.

”If faced again with a Fourth Tier Celestial Pride like Chen Yuan.” Jiang Ye felt confident: ”There would be no need to employ divine power ultimate skills, this spear alone could break through arrays.”

And if the four great laws and various divine skills erupted fully?

He even had confidence to confront those with Star Talent head-on.

...

In the days that followed, Jiang Ye continued to seclude himself in the Immortal Divine Hall, consolidating his cultivation in the late Divine Body Realm, familiarizing himself with every trait of the Eternal Night Spear.

He knew the day of the Nine Heavens Cave Mansion’s opening was drawing near.

Time flew by like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

On this day.

Deep within the Colorful Kun Star Domain, a long-dormant presence suddenly awakened.

”Boom~”

Boundless darkness surged abruptly from a planet at the center of the Colorful Kun Star Domain.

The darkness was not law, not divine skills, but a more primordial authority... like the first wisp of darkness at the universe’s inception.

Darkness spread like a tide, engulfing divine halls, swallowing the entire planet.

Star Authority: Darkness

The billions of beings on the planet simultaneously raised their heads but could see nothing.

All sounds ceased, plunging into absolute darkness.

From within the depths of darkness, a figure in black slowly opened his eyes, his gaze pitch-black, like the source of all that is utterly dark.

You Huang, Moon Embracing Divine Hall, ranked third on the Earth List.

”Swoosh~” The darkness receded, rushing into his body like countless rivers returning to the sea.

Sunlight once more fell, as if everything just now were mere illusion.

He stepped out of the divine hall, gazing into the depths of the starry sky at a chaotic rift.

”Nine Heavens Cave Mansion.” You Huang’s voice was calm, yet carried a long-suppressed battle intent.

...

Almost simultaneously.

Elsewhere in the Moon Embracing Divine Hall, within an ancient temple floating in the starry sky.

A silver moon suddenly rose, its moonlight like a waterfall, enveloping the entire planet.

Yue Wuji in his silver robe fluttered, the silver moon’s shadow behind him enlarged to tens of thousands of miles, and the starry sky within hundreds of thousands of miles was dyed with a layer of silver-white.

Where the moonlight passed, voids became static, and all things bowed down.

Star Authority: Moon Realm

...

Nine-Star Divine Hall, core forbidden ground.

Inside an ancient grand hall filled with array patterns, Array Spirit sat cross-legged, opening his eyes.

”Boom~!” The stars trembled simultaneously, a trillion starlights descended from the firmament, weaving a vast star array around the hall, encompassing the entire planet.

Star Authority: Myriad Phenomena Star Wheel

...

Beimo Divine Hall, Barbarian Divine Mountain.

Cangmu trod barefoot across the void, each step sprouting countless ancient tree shadows from the ground.

The divine mountain trembled, limitless life essence surged from his body, transforming into boundless ancient green trees, the canopy covering the entire planet.

Star Authority: Evergreen Through Ages

...

All four Star Talents emerged from seclusion on the same day.

The entire Caikun Civilization was shaken!

Wave upon wave of sovereign authority pressure swept across the entire civilization, making all laws bow along its path.

”The Nine Heavens Cave Mansion is about to open!”

”Nearly all top experts on the Earth List’s top five have emerged from seclusion.”

”Only the one ranked first has yet to appear.” Countless powerhouses looked up with immense reverence.

And just at this moment.

A faint fragrance suddenly permeated the air.

The source and the timing of the fragrance were a mystery... but at that very moment, every core system of the Caikun Civilization and hundreds of life planets smelled this scent.

The next second, the world changed color.

It didn’t transform into a specific color, but lost all colors entirely.

The Nine-Colored Divine Fire turned gray-white, the crimson Battle Saber turned black-gray, and the radiance of billions of stars faded entirely.

Everything lost its color, leaving only black and white.

Only that solitary figure remained.

She walked from the end of the Star Sea, her white robe whiter than snow, dark hair cascading like a waterfall... No one could make out her features, only feeling that her form was a beauty that did not belong to this world.

Standing there, it seemed as if the entire star-filled sky became her backdrop.

[First on the Earth List, Profound Celestial Maiden]

You Huang stood with hands behind his back, gazing at that unparalleled figure, his eyes showing waves of emotion.

”As expected.”

”This time, even you have emerged.” You Huang kept his gaze fixed on that figure, eyes filled with longing and fiery passion.

The Profound Celestial Maiden did not respond, her eyes not even pausing on him.

”Rumble~”

In the depths of the starry sky, the faintly visible chaotic rift began to tremble violently.

An indescribable gigantic portal slowly emerged from the rift.

”Whoosh!” ”Whoosh!” ”Whoosh...”

Divine Ships sliced through the starry sky, with powerhouses from the Four Directions Divine Hall arriving one after another at the starting point.

Among the top hundred on the Earth List, aside from a few with Star Talent who had arrived early, the rest of the powerhouses also appeared, their dense silhouettes occupying the entire space.

From the direction of the Qiuqing Divine Hall, several figures stepped through the sky.

Leading them was Bai Qing, followed closely by Han Xiang, Zhao Tianji, Qingyao, and others.

When they scanned the surroundings, seeing the imposing disciples of the Moon Embracing Divine Hall, they couldn’t help but grit their teeth.

”This generation from Qiuqing Divine Hall...”

Zhao Tianji glanced over the other three halls’ array of figures radiating the pressure of Star Authority, his voice somewhat solemn: ”There is no Star Talent.”

Bai Qing said nothing, silently gazing ahead.

Out of the five Star Talents, Moon Embracing Divine Hall possesses three.

Beimo has Cangmu, Nine Stars has Array Spirit.

Only Qiuqing Divine Hall, this generation lacks Star Talent.

Weak and dispirited.

At this moment, Yue Wuji suddenly spoke.

”Profound Celestial Maiden.”

”You have few people on your side.” Yue Wuji swept his gaze over the few from Qiuqing Divine Hall, casually suggesting: ”Why not have these people from Qiuqing Divine Hall follow you.”

The Profound Celestial Maiden’s expression remained indifferent, her gaze unmoving.

”Within the top fifty on the Earth List.”

”May follow me.” Her voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.

But the underlying meaning was clear.

From Qiuqing Divine Hall, only Bai Qing and Ye Jiang were ranked within the top fifty.

You Huang frowned slightly but said nothing.

Qingyao’s face changed slightly, Zhao Tianji clenched his fist... If Bai Qing and Ye Jiang left, their Qiuqing Divine Hall likely wouldn’t have any combat strength.

At this moment.

”No need.”

”Thank you for your kind offer.” Jiang Ye cupped his hands, ”Our Qiuqing Divine Hall has its own path, no need to trouble yourself.”

The Profound Celestial Maiden finally fixed her gaze on Jiang Ye.

It was the first time since her appearance she looked at a specific person.

Yet, it was only a glance, devoid of any ripples or emotion in her stunningly cold eyes, which seemed to contain countless stars.

”Suit yourself.” Her voice remained indifferent.

You Huang suddenly chuckled softly, transmitting to the Profound Celestial Maiden: ”These people from Qiuqing Divine Hall truly do not appreciate kindness.”

”But perhaps it’s better this way; it saves you from bringing along two burdens.”

The Profound Celestial Maiden did not respond.

Her eyes were cold as if there was nothing in this world worth her second glance, even You Huang, in her eyes, was no different from the likes of Ye Jiang.

At this moment—

”Boom!!”

The portal in the starry sky suddenly erupted with infinite light, as if an ancient seal was forcibly torn apart, the immense rumbling resounding through the universe.

The Nine Heavens Cave Mansion had officially opened.

”Go!”

”Set out, Nine Heavens Cave Mansion.”

Divine Ships soared into the sky, flying towards the direction of the Starry Sky Corridor.

”Let’s go.” Jiang Ye also tightened his grip on the Eternal Night Spear, glancing at Bai Qing beside him.

Bai Qing nodded slightly.

Two streams of Flowing Light soared into the sky, merging with the myriad of lights, flying together towards the Starry Sky Corridor leading to the Nine Heavens Cave Mansion.

Behind them, Qingyao, Zhao Tianji and others hastily followed... They knew well that without Star Talent, Qiuqing Divine Hall couldn’t possibly gain much in such an Opportunity purely on their own strength.

Their only reliance was Bai Qing and Ye Jiang.

Nine Heavens Cave Mansion, the storm had arrived.
