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

Chapter 1283: Crossing the Great Realm! Jiang Yeʼs Goal (Double Chapter)

“Otherwise, if the breakthrough fails, it will also have a huge impact on the foundation.”

Jiang Ye nodded slowly.

He finally understood why figures like the Profound Celestial Maiden and Yue Wuji, with their Star Talent, were stuck at the Peak of the Divine Body Realm and were not breaking through.

They were accumulating their foundation.

It’s not that they can’t break through.

They don’t want to break through yet.

They are waiting for the optimal moment, to ascend to the top in one leap… Once they break through, they will be stepping into the realm of Divine Authority with one foot.

“You’re right.”

“I also want to take this path.” Jiang Ye’s gaze was deep.

He bore the “Black Dragon Eternal Scripture.” If he followed the cultivation step by step, he would necessarily spend countless time and resources.

Only what Bai Gui suggested could greatly shorten this cycle.

On the day of breakthrough, he would leap over an entire Great Realm and reach the Divine Authority Realm!

“I need more Void and Reality Dao Crystals.”

“There must be more in the core region of the Nine Heavens Cave Mansion.” Jiang Ye took a deep breath.

He stood up tall and crushed the dim Void and Reality Dao Crystal.

“Time to exit closed training.”

…

Outside the Alternate Space.

Bai Qing and Zhao Tianji were cultivating in the periphery, cross-legged, and they opened their eyes simultaneously sensing Jiang Ye’s presence.

“Ye Jiang?”

“Did you break through?” Bai Qing’s gaze fell on Jiang Ye, a trace of shock flitting through his eyes.

Jiang Ye didn’t reveal his aura, but that naturally emanating sense of oppression had become entirely different from a few days prior.

“Mm.” Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

Zhao Tianji grinned and said, “I knew you could do it, Ye Jiang.”

“Where is Burn Mountain?” Jiang Ye asked.

“On watch in the periphery,” Bai Qing said. “His identity is special, and it’s not suitable for him to travel with us. We had him move covertly, keeping his distance.”

Jiang Ye nodded.

He looked towards the direction where Burn Mountain was hiding and sent a message through divine thought.

“Follow us, keep your distance, do not expose yourself.”

“Yes, Master.” Burn Mountain’s voice echoed in the Sea of Consciousness.

Jiang Ye withdrew his gaze and looked into the depths of the Chaos.

“Let’s go.”

“To the core region.”

The three transformed into Flowing Light and flew towards the depths of the Nine Heavens Cave Mansion.

…

The Moon Embracing group advanced within the Chaos.

Ahead, the pressure of the Law grew increasingly heavy, the chaotic mist gradually thinning, replaced by an oppression that was heavy to the extreme.

The core region was near.

The Marquis of the Blue Sky followed within the group, his gaze sweeping over the figures ahead.

Profound Celestial Maiden.

Yue Wuji.

You Huang.

The three with Star Talent stood in different positions, their auras restrained, yet like three mountains pressing forward.

The Marquis of the Blue Sky withdrew his gaze, and in a flash, he was behind Yue Wuji.

Yue Wuji seemed aware, lazily turning to look back. “What’s the matter?”

“I want to act alone,” the Marquis of the Blue Sky cupped his hands.

Yue Wuji raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Act alone?”

“Right now, we are about to enter the core region of the Nine Heavens Cave Mansion,” Yue Wuji shook his head. “It’s soon the crucial time to compete for the ‘Authority Dao Seed.ʼ”

“Leaving the group now, you’ll miss many opportunities,” Yue Wuji said faintly.

The Marquis of the Blue Sky pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands. “I want to train on my own a bit.”

Yue Wuji looked at him for a moment, then shook his head.

“Alright.”

“This is your own path,” Yue Wuji said faintly. “But let me say this upfront, once you leave the team, Moon Embracing Divine Hall will not offer you any protection.”

The Marquis of the Blue Sky slightly bowed. “Thank you, my friend.”

He turned, his figure transforming into a beam of chaotic Flowing Light, disappearing into the mist.

Yue Wuji watched the departing figure, shaking his head, and sent a divine thought message to the Profound Celestial Maiden ahead.

“Blue Heaven King has also decided to act alone.”

“The people from the Huanglong Civilization seem different from others,” Yue Wuji mused. “One after another, none stay with the main group.”

Ahead, that unparalleled silhouette was incredibly vague, with no ripples spreading out.

Until a moment later.

“Don’t bother about it.”

“If the Blue Heaven King wants to compete with his compatriots, let him be,” the Profound Celestial Maiden slightly turned her head, her starry eyes showing no fluctuation. “Some people won’t turn back until they stumble.”

“Our target is the ‘Authority Dao Seed.’

“The Moon Embracing Venerable said that thing must not fall into the hands of the Celestial Battle Civilization.” The Profound Celestial Maiden’s tone was like ten thousand years of ice, filled with a murderous intent.

Yue Wuji collected his lazy demeanor and nodded seriously.

“I understand.”

The Profound Celestial Maiden withdrew her gaze and turned to continue forward.

Her white clothes were like snow, her black hair like a waterfall.

That hazy figure appeared intermittently in the chaos, like a solitary moon hanging high in the sky. The occasional revelation of her unparalleled bearing stirred endless imagination.

…

Cai Kun Civilization, Moon Embracing Divine Hall.

A small figure stood in the void, surrounded by white light, his aura ethereal as mist.

He stood there, as if merged with the starry sky, yet seemingly transcending time and space, filled with mystery.

“Blue Heaven King.”

“Left the main force?” The voice of the Moon Embracing Venerable was calm, but there was a faint hint of displeasure in the tone.

Below, the Silver Moon Palace Master stood respectfully, his face showing a look of trepidation.

“The Blue Heaven King left the team voluntarily and has entered the core region of the Nine Heavens Cave Mansion alone.” The Silver Moon Palace Master said quietly, “I have failed in my duty to discipline, and I ask for your punishment, Venerable.”

The Moon Embracing Venerable was silent for a moment, then waved his hand.

“Having voluntarily left the team means giving up the opportunity to seize the Authority Dao Seed.” The Moon Embracing Venerable said indifferently, “If he loses his path in the future, he can blame no one but himself.”

The Silver Moon Palace Master felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly complied.

“Relay this to the Profound Celestial Maiden.”

“Ensure the Authority Dao Seed is secured at all costs.” The Moon Embracing Venerable said, “You need not concern yourself with anything else.”

“Yes.” The Silver Moon Palace Master bowed to receive the order and turned to leave.

The Divine Hall returned to silence.

The Moon Embracing Venerable stood alone in the void, his gaze seeming to penetrate endless time and space, looking toward the direction of the Nine Heavens Cave Mansion.

He was well aware that leaving the main force at this time was to voluntarily give up his future and path, ultimately fading into obscurity.

But as a Venerable, he would never interfere with anyone’s choice.

Whether it was Ye Jiang or the Blue Heaven King, in his long life, they were merely passersby, ultimately unable to reach his height.

…

In the depths of chaos.

Jiang Ye and two others traversed through the mist at great speed.

His expression was calm, but in his heart, thoughts were racing.

The scene of the Blue Heaven King was unfolding in his mind.

The Cai Kun and Celestial Battle Civilizations were both fully preparing to compete for the Authority Dao Seed.

In the core of the Nine Heavens Cave Mansion, it was certain to be crowded with powerhouses.

The Profound Celestial Maiden, Yue Wuji, You Huang, Array Spirit, Cangmu.

Hong Yuan, Mo Yuan, Lei Jun, Wuyin.

The nine Star Talents would all gather in the core region.

“Authority Dao Seed,” a flash of light shone in Jiang Ye’s eyes.

Teacher Bailie had said that this item could allow those in the Divine Body Realm and even the Divine Sea Realm to prematurely touch the power of Authority… Acquiring it granted the qualification to stand fast against the Star Talents.

It was a must-have for both factions.

Bai Qing noticed the change in his expression and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing,” Jiang Ye shook his head, “just thinking about the road ahead.”

Zhao Tianji scratched his head, “The core region is bound to be dangerous, why don’t we just hang around the outskirts?”

Jiang Ye did not answer.

Just hanging around the outskirts, of course, was impossible.

The Authority Dao Seed was an object he was determined to obtain as well!

“The more it is a competition for such treasures.”

“The less one should return to the main force.” Jiang Ye understood this: “Returning means competing alongside our side’s Star Talents.”

Regardless of strength or background, he had no advantage.

Only by acting independently!

When the sandpiper and the clam fight, it is the fisherman who benefits.

There was a slim chance of survival.

“Let’s go.”

“To the core region,” Jiang Ye’s gaze was resolute.

Bai Qing and Zhao Tianji exchanged a glance and did not oppose.

They had completely regarded Jiang Ye as the mainstay of the team, no matter what decision he made, the two would follow unconditionally.

“Whoo!”

The three accelerated their pace.

The chaotic mist grew thinner, replaced by a heavy and extreme law pressure.

The pressure was like an invisible mountain, pressing on the Divine Body, making even breathing difficult.

Zhao Tianji’s face turned pale, gritting his teeth to endure.

Bai Qing also sweated from his forehead, but said not a word.

Jiang Ye’s expression remained unchanged.

His Divine Body of one hundred and twenty thousand zhang flowed naturally, Eternal Divine Patterns lit up on his body surface, completely isolating the pressure.

“Almost there.” Jiang Ye gazed into the distance.

In the distance, a colossal relic spanning the universe was faintly visible, slowly rotating.
