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

Chapter 1049 - 486: Huge Gains! New Achievement (Double-Length, Requesting Monthly Votes)

Jiang Ye was slightly taken aback.

He certainly knew what the Venerable was referring to.

[Mayfly Shaking the Tree]!

However, no one had ever asked about this ability before, always assuming it was just part of his combat power.

But in the eyes of the Venerable, it clearly wasn’t that simple.

”Indeed.”

”With the teacher’s wisdom, it’s likely that some clues have already been discerned.” Jiang Ye understood in his heart.

Since the other party had already pointed it out.

If Jiang Ye continued to hide it, it would likely arouse the Venerable’s suspicion.

With this thought.

”Teacher, this is a special ability of mine.”

”When facing opponents whose Realm is higher than my own, my combat power will temporarily surge,” Jiang Ye said frankly: ”Just now, Qinggu burned a secret technique to break through the Tier Four Peak, which happened to trigger this ability’s effect, allowing me to narrowly inflict serious damage on him with one strike.”

He deliberately downplayed the specifics of ”Mayfly Shaking the Tree,” only pointing out the core function of the ability.

”I see.”

A flicker of realization appeared in Venerable Bai’s eyes, and he did not probe further.

In secondary civilizations, many talents have unique opportunities, and abilities like this, though rare, are not entirely unheard of.

Among some prodigious talents, he had also seen similar heaven-defying abilities.

”Ye Jiang.”

”Your ability is indeed commendable,” Venerable Bai slowly began: ”But remember, too much of anything is as bad as too little.”

”You must not become overly reliant, and avoid letting others perceive and counter it.” Venerable Bai advised.

”I understand,” Jiang Ye replied, bowing.

Venerable Bai, as expected, did not pursue the details, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief—the system is his greatest trump card, and he must not reveal a single bit of it.

At this moment.

”Hoo!” Venerable Bai suddenly waved his hand.

Two treasures appeared slowly, hovering in the center of the great hall, emanating a vast and pure aura.

One object was entirely white, with a smooth jade-like texture, covered in intricate dragon patterns—it was the [Dragon Ruins Order] previously obtained from the Lord of Huanglong at the request of Venerable Bai.

The other was a rhombus-shaped crystal, about the size of a fist, its interior flowing with multicolored intertwined law glows, its aura exceedingly pure, surpassing any law treasures Jiang Ye had ever seen, causing even the Heaven and Earth Power around it to tremble.

”Teacher, what is this?” Jiang Ye was momentarily stunned.

”Third place in the Nine Tribes Summit deserves a reward.”

”Although you’ve already received rewards,” Venerable Bai’s voice boomed: ”But as my disciple, I personally will bestow additional gifts.”

”This [Dragon Ruins Order].”

”Contains a shred of the will of the Lord of Huanglong, capable of protecting your Divine Soul from perishing,” Venerable Bai explained: ”Below a Venerable, no one can take your life.”

The will of the Lord of Huanglong?!

”This...” Jiang Ye held his breath, aware of how invaluable this was, perhaps beyond measure in value.

Before Jiang Ye could recover.

”This is a [Law Divine Crystal].”

”It is a law treasure higher-tier than the Fourth Tier Law Fruit.” Venerable Bai pointed to the rhombus-shaped crystal: ”Containing complete law charm, it can help you rapidly polish your laws, and may even enable you to achieve Law Perfection.”

Bam!

He waved his hand, and the two treasures floated toward Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye hurriedly received them with solemnity.

A warm sensation spread from his palm, the multicolored glow within the Law Divine Crystal flowing. Just its proximity sharply clarified his understanding of the three core laws, even elucidating previously obscure nodes, which now seemed to hint at connectivity.

”This?” Jiang Ye was inwardly astonished, leading to an instant guess.

Unparalleled Treasures.

Far exceeding the cultivation resources he had previously used!

”Many thanks for the generous gift, Teacher. I will not disappoint,” Jiang Ye bowed deeply, his tone filled with gratitude.

”No need for thanks.” Venerable Bai waved a hand, a hint of expectation in his eyes: ”These treasures are merely assistance to you.”

”True powerhouses ultimately depend on themselves.”

”If you can secure a top-three position in the Hundred-Star Divine War, I will grant you another supreme treasure, its value a hundred times greater than these.” Venerable Bai smiled.

Jiang Ye’s heart trembled, his breath quickening at the thought of treasures a hundred times more valuable?

This Law Divine Crystal had already surpassed his imagination.

”I will strive my utmost,” Jiang Ye said solemnly.

Venerable Bai nodded slightly, resuming a calm demeanor: ”Go now, concentrate on cultivation; the intensity of the Hundred-Star Divine War far exceeds the Nine Tribes Summit.”

”Yes!” Jiang Ye respectfully saluted again before turning to exit the Holy Hall.

...

Soon after Jiang Ye’s departure.

In the great hall, the void suddenly trembled.

”Buzz!” A vast and immeasurable will descended, causing the entire Holy Hall’s Star River to come to a halt, as if all things in the world bowed in submission to this will.

”Greetings, King,” Venerable Bai stood and saluted.

”Bai Qiong.”

”Do you truly intend to give him that supreme treasure?” The vast will sounded, with a hint of surprise: ”That’s your Bai Race’s heirloom.”

”Back then.”

”To obtain it, you ventured into perilous starry skies, contending with several gods.” The vast will recounted: ”And now you intend to easily give it to an outsider disciple?”

”The King sees clearly.”

”That treasure, though precious, has been gathering dust in my Bai Race for millennia.” Venerable Bai replied softly: ”Though our clan has many descendants, none can truly wield its power; rather than let it collect dust, it’s better to give it to Ye Jiang, a true potential genius.”

”If Ye Jiang can secure a top-three position in the Hundred-Star Divine War, he will qualify to advance at the Caikun Civilization,” Venerable Bai explained.

”Tertiary civilizations abound with powerhouses, and their laws are even more profound.”

”Although he has this opportunity, his foundation is shallow, and that treasure can help him gain a foothold and may even allow him to touch higher levels of the path,” Venerable Bai had a clear plan.

In his eyes, Ye Jiang’s potential far surpassed the likes of Bai Cantian and Prince Huang.
