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

Chapter 522: Chapter 319: Betting Everything for a Chance at the Future (Triple Combo)

A multitude of treasures lay scattered on the table, numbering at least a dozen pieces.

Witnessing this scene, both Jiang Ye and Chen Zilu were taken aback, speechless.

”Ancestor!”

”How do you have so many?” Chen Zilu couldn’t help but ask.

Blood Jade Divine Crystal!

Sourced from the Chen Family’s Blood Jade Divine Tree, it only produced a few pieces every thirty years.

This kind of Heaven and Earth Divine Object was greatly beneficial for breakthroughs from the Seventh Break to the Eight Breaks.

Unexpectedly, the ancestor suddenly brought out so many?!

”Hehe, these are my personal collection,” the white-haired elder Chen Jiuxuan chuckled.

”A personal collection?” Jiang Ye was also somewhat astounded.

He had long known from Bai Gui about the preciousness of the Blood Jade Divine Crystal.

The Blood Jade Divine Tree was something that even many Extraordinary Families coveted immensely!

”Senior, you intend to give all these to me?” Jiang Ye asked, holding his breath.

”To the two of you,” the white-haired elder Chen Jiuxuan smiled: ”You can consider it as a dowry from me.”

”Dowry?” Jiang Ye was momentarily stunned, then his expression turned peculiar.

Dowry, isn’t that a bride price?

”Senior, this is too precious.” Jiang Ye quickly said.

Meeting for the first time, and the other party gave him treasures of such value.

It was overly extravagant.

Jiang Ye always believed that everything has a dual nature, and such enormous benefits must come with a cost.

”Don’t overthink it.”

”These were originally prepared for Lu’s spouse,” Chen Jiuxuan laughed: ”In my eyes, you are more outstanding than Zhou Xingkong of the Zhou Family.”

”You are more qualified to take these treasures than him.”

”Zhou Xingkong?” Jiang Ye couldn’t help but react.

Why would the other party suddenly mention this person?

Could it be that the Chen Family’s ancestor originally favored Zhou Xingkong?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Ye’s mind.

”Senior.” Jiang Ye raised his head and said: ”Zhou Xingkong comes from an Extraordinary Family, I don’t have that kind of background.”

There were some matters he intended to clarify in advance.

To avoid future entanglements and troubles.

”Your background is indeed far inferior to his.”

The white-haired elder smiled faintly, not denying: ”But what I value more is personal potential.”

”Do you think I have greater potential than an Extraordinary Talent?” Jiang Ye asked curiously.

”What do you think?” Chen Jiuxuan countered.

”I haven’t competed against an Extraordinary Talent yet,” Jiang Ye shook his head.

”There’s no need to underestimate yourself,” Chen Jiuxuan said calmly: ”In two years, you leapt from being an ordinary person to the late period of Fourth Break. That is something even an Extraordinary Talent cannot accomplish.”

”Of course.”

”Lu is determined to be with you. I couldn’t bear to separate you two,” Chen Jiuxuan smiled warmly at Chen Zilu.

Chen Zilu’s cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes looking elsewhere.

Jiang Ye coughed lightly, then continued: ”Does your choice of me have any implications for the Chen Family?”

”Hmm?”

”It seems you have some understanding of the Chen Family’s situation?” Chen Jiuxuan was slightly surprised: ”Did Lu tell you?”

”No.” Chen Zilu immediately shook her head.

”It’s my personal speculation,” Jiang Ye said: ”Is it because the Chen Family of this generation hasn’t produced an Extraordinary Talent?”

”You are very intelligent,” Chen Jiuxuan marveled.

Living for five hundred years, his insight sharp, he understood immediately how Jiang Ye discerned it.

”In the past century, the Chen Family indeed had no Extraordinary.”

”To be precise, for over two hundred years, there hasn’t been an Extraordinary,” Chen Jiuxuan lamented: ”The reason for saying a century is because the Civilization Struggle is divided by centuries.”

”Every Civilization Struggle is a reshuffling of civilizations.”

”By then, if the Chen Family doesn’t have a contemporary Extraordinary to take the lead, it will decline,” Chen Jiuxuan sighed.

Jiang Ye fell silent.

The Civilization Struggle indeed reshuffled civilizations.

Determining the fate of numerous Starry Sky Civilizations.

It also determined the restructuring and division of many forces within a civilization.

”That’s why Chen Zilu will become the next heir of the Chen Family,” Chen Jiuxuan said: ”She possesses the Invincible Tao Bone, capable of competing with an Extraordinary to some extent.”

”It’s just...”

”I’m not sure about her upper limits,” Chen Jiuxuan looked at the young girl beside him: ”She is still far from that realm.”

”That realm?” Jiang Ye couldn’t help but ask curiously: ”Is it the Peak of Nine Breaks?”

Extraordinary Families are called such because their supreme combat power remains unshakable.

Someone like Chen Jiuxuan, as long as he exists, the Chen Family, even without an Extraordinary in the past two hundred years, would still be an Extraordinary Family.

”Not the Peak of Nine Breaks.”

Chen Zilu softly said: ”It’s a level above that.”

”Above that?” Jiang Ye was stunned: ”God?”

”Of course not,” Chen Jiuxuan chuckled, shaking his head: ”If someone ascended to divinity, the Blue Star Civilization would have long become a Level 1 Civilization.”

”The realm I speak of is above the Ninth Break but has not yet reached the stage of divinity.”

”We refer to this stage as ’Demigod’,” Chen Jiuxuan solemnly said.

”Demigod?” Jiang Ye felt a surge of surprise.

There was no such classification in the True Divine Scripture.

”The distance from the Ninth Break to divinity is far more distant than we imagine.”

”Its difficulty is akin to ascending to heaven,” Chen Jiuxuan lamented: ”Like me, spending a lifetime unable to reach that level.”

”Therefore, between the Ninth Break and Ascend to Divinity, there is a more detailed classification.”

”Demigod.”

”This realm is still vastly distant from the God Realm,” Chen Jiuxuan stated: ”But it surpasses the limit of the Ninth Break by far.”

”For a Demigod powerhouse, an ordinary Peak of the Ninth Break can be destroyed with a single blow.”

”This is the true pinnacle of strength in Blue Star currently,” Chen Jiuxuan declared.

Jiang Ye held his breath.

Previously, he always believed the Peak of Nine Breaks was the ultimate combat strength of Blue Star.

Now it seems, this view was woefully inaccurate.
