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

Chapter 737: Chapter 382: Noble Titles and the Star Domain Battlefield (Double-Length Chapter)

Inside the Black Obsidian Palace.

Magnificent structures spanned the heavens and earth, each palace as colossal as a planet, filling the entire void.

”Black Obsidian Palace.” Jiang Ye gazed at the vast group of palaces before him, feeling a silent awe in his heart.

This was his first time entering the Black Obsidian Palace.

The Black Obsidian Palace was the core of Black Obsidian City... In the past, Jiang Ye lived in the palatial residence outside the palace and had no eligibility to enter the palace.

Passing through the structures as large as planets, an incomparably grand and exquisitely beautiful palace came into view.

This palace stood at the pinnacle of the world, its eaves reaching into the firmament, clouds curling around its beams, enveloping the space. Its grand scale suppressed all earthly scenes.

”Is this the City Lord’s Mansion?” Jiang Ye looked up at the palace.

Even though he had prepared himself, Jiang Ye was still shocked by the scale of this palace.

This palace was unimaginably tall, and even with Jiang Ye’s current outlook, he could not discern its far end.

However.

Thinking about the City Lord’s Mansion as the dwelling of a god, Jiang Ye felt reassured.

”Whew!”

Under Zhao Tiangang’s guidance, Jiang Ye proceeded all the way into a hall deep within the City Lord’s Mansion.

Upon entering the hall.

Inside was a whole new world, displaying a small realm over ten thousand kilometers in circumference.

This world was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, ancient trees standing tall, yet no intelligent beings were present.

Only at the center of this world stood two figures.

”City Lord, Wang Ye has been brought.” Zhao Tiangang said respectfully.

”Hmm, you may leave now.” smiled one of the figures dressed in a black robe.

”Yes.” Zhao Tiangang swiftly turned and left.

Jiang Ye quickly bowed, ”Greetings, City Lord.”

He had already known that the elderly man in the black robe was the City Lord of Black Obsidian City, the supreme being of the entire ancient city.

At the same time, Jiang Ye looked curiously at the other figure.

It was a middle-aged man in a white robe with an elegant demeanor, exuding no aura, yet instinctively making people feel fond of him.

But.

The fact that he could stand beside the Black Obsidian City Lord and converse easily clearly showed he was also an important figure.

”Could he be another City Lord?” Jiang Ye pondered internally.

”Wang Ye.”

”Let me introduce you.” The Black Obsidian City Lord pointed at the white-robed man and said, ”This is the Star Lord, also the highest authority of our Barbaric Dragon Star.”

”Star Lord?” Jiang Ye was internally astonished.

He had long known that above the twelve prosperous ancient cities, there existed a figure revered by all gods, which was the Star Lord.

The Star Lord held a transcendent status, far above the Twelve Ancient Cities.

Unexpectedly, he appeared here?

”Greetings, Star Lord.” Jiang Ye didn’t hesitate and immediately bowed in salute.

”Hehe, there’s no need for such formality.”

The white-robed Star Lord said warmly with a smile, ”Wang Ye, you have passed the fifteenth level of the Black Tower, making you the strongest extraordinary prodigy on Barbaric Dragon Star in nearly ten thousand years.”

”The Star Lord praises me too much.” Jiang Ye replied modestly.

At the same time, his heart moved, as the Star Lord indeed knew more.

Like others, even Zhao Tiangang thought he had broken the historical record.

But the Star Lord pointed out that this was only a record for nearly ten thousand years.

”I am not entirely complimenting you.”

”Passing the fifteenth level with an extraordinary body is rare, but in the entire Huanglong Civilization, it is by no means top-notch.” The white-robed Star Lord said calmly, ”You still have much room for improvement.”

Jiang Ye was slightly taken aback.

The Star Lord’s attitude made him somewhat unpredictable.

”Of course.”

”Speaking objectively,” The white-robed Star Lord continued, ”concerning the environment of Barbaric Dragon Star, your accomplishments are indeed outstanding.”

”Your emergence during my term is a fortunate event for me as well.” the Star Lord smiled.

Jiang Ye appeared puzzled.

”Do you know about the Star Domain Battlefield?” the Star Lord looked at him.

”I know a little.” Jiang Ye nodded.

Earlier, Zhao Zixuan had told him that the Star Domain Battlefield was established by the Huanglong Main Star.

Participants in the Star Domain Battlefield could earn a significant amount of ’Huanglong Merit.’

According to Zhao Zixuan, this merit was a great opportunity.

”The Star Domain Battlefield opens once every century.”

”Each opening is a preparation for the Civilization Struggle.” The white-robed Star Lord said slowly, ”Hence, our Huanglong Civilization takes it very seriously.”

”Every star under the Huanglong Civilization dispatches its strongest prodigies to participate.”

”If you can make a name for yourself in the Star Domain Battlefield, not only will your name spread throughout the Huanglong Star System,” The white-robed Star Lord said solemnly, ”but you will also receive a title of nobility.”

Jiang Ye was utterly shocked.

Civilization Struggle!

Indeed.

In the vast universe, among the boundless Starry Sky, not just the Blue Star Civilization is striving.

Even a 2.2-level Starry Sky Civilization as strong as the Huanglong Civilization must compete!

”So, the Star Domain Battlefield is preparation for the Civilization Struggle?” Jiang Ye understood, which explained why Zhao Zishuang and Mo Xin took it so seriously.

But immediately after.

”Title of nobility?” Jiang Ye asked in confusion, what does this mean?

”The title of nobility is bestowed by the planetary will of the Huanglong Main Star.” The Black Obsidian City Lord explained, ”It ranks from low to high as [General], [Marquis], [King].”

”Once you receive a noble title, your fortune will soar, and the higher the title, the greater the increase in your fortune will be exponential.”

”The Civilization Struggle is all about the fortune of civilization.”

”Entering with more fortune gives you an edge over others.” The Black Obsidian City Lord added.

Jiang Ye finally realized.

This noble title conferment seemed somewhat similar to the Star Wars on Blue Star.

The champions and even the top three of the Star Wars could receive substantial fortune endowment.

It’s just that the Blue Star Civilization is too low in level, so this so-called fortune endowment is merely a symbol, to the point that even Jiang Ye hasn’t noticed much change.
