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

Chapter 1215 - 548: All Sides Wooing! Astonishing Treatment

Outside the Saint Hall of the Venerable.

Many Huanglong gods congratulated Jiang Ye, their words full of admiration and attempts to curry favor.

Even the two divine sea realm powerhouses, Mo Xiao and Xihe, set aside their roles as mentors from the past, addressing him as an equal, with complete courtesy and no hint of condescension.

Jiang Ye responded to each with a cupped hand salute, his demeanor humble, neither arrogant nor impatient.

After thirty years of arduous cultivation within the Dark Singularity, he had long shed his youthful naivety, his disposition steady as a mountain.

Venerable Bai stood quietly to one side, taking everything in, a faint smile of satisfaction in his eyes.

Once the crowd’s voices subsided a bit, he slowly stepped out.

"Everyone, let’s have some quiet."

All the gods and venerables instantly fell silent, turning their gaze toward Venerable Bai.

"Ye Jiang."

"Since you have ascended to divinity, our Huanglong Civilization naturally has corresponding rewards." Venerable Bai’s voice reverberated throughout the entire Huanglong Civilization.

The venue fell silent immediately, everyone holding their breath and listening intently.

"From this day forth, you are officially conferred the title ’Jiang Tian Shen’, free to traverse all of Huanglong, exempt from bowing to venerables, enjoying supreme privileges."

"The civilization’s treasury will be permanently open to you, annually granting an abundance of divine-level elixirs, law materials, and other top-tier cultivation resources."

"You may attend the civilization’s high-level council, partake in major decisions of Huanglong, with a voice and decision-making vote."

"Permission is granted to establish a sect, accept disciples, propagate teachings, and cultivate your own power, free from restrictions."

"Lastly."

Venerable Bai paused briefly, sweeping his gaze across the crowd.

"You may choose a life planet as your territory to establish a lineage," Venerable Bai stated: "Or, within the core region of Huanglong Main Star, designate ten thousand miles of land to create a dedicated clan region."

As the words fell.

Surprise appeared in the eyes of the many gods present.

Ordinary newly ascended gods generally lack the qualification to demarcate territory within the core region of the main star... Only those veteran gods with deep foundations could enjoy such privileges.

Ye Jiang was clearly an exception.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Teacher."

"I will choose carefully in due course." Jiang Ye bowed repeatedly, his heart filled with countless emotions.

Previously, he only had lordship over that small area of Bright Heart Hall.

But now? He stands on equal footing with the divine sea realm, the civilization’s top resources and territorial privileges all open to him.

This is the significance of ascending to divinity.

"Alright."

"You should first go back and stabilize your cultivation." Venerable Bai advised with a smile: "A summon from the Cai Kun Civilization will arrive soon, refrain from distant travels for now and quietly await the command."

"Understood." Jiang Ye replied.

After bidding farewell to the many gods, Jiang Ye turned swiftly and departed.

...

Jiangtian Royal Mansion.

Tall walls and courtyards, surrounded by spiritual trees, the yard full of plain divine flowers, peaceful and harmonious.

This is where Jiang Ye has lived since being ennobled, and his parents, along with Jiang Ting and Zhao Qingli, have all moved here.

Thirty years had passed without his return.

Anticipation surged in Jiang Ye’s heart, along with a trace of guilt.

The residence wasn’t large but was serene and elegant.

Two ancient pines stood robust and upright at the entrance, the green stone path stretching into the yard.

Jiang Ye pushed the door open and entered.

Inside the hall, two slightly aged figures lifted their heads at the sound.

The man had graying temples and weathered brows; this was Jiang Ye’s father, Jiang Dahai.

The woman had fine lines at the corner of her eyes, a gentle expression; she was Li Anping.

Limited by their qualifications, neither had broken through the Third Break; thirty years were enough to age anyone.

At this moment, upon seeing the familiar and upright figure in black at the doorway, the couple froze in place.

"Dad, Mom, I’m home," Jiang Ye spoke softly.

Li Anping’s flower shears dropped to the ground with a "clang."

She stared blankly, her eyes instantly red upon seeing the figure in black at the door.

"Ye? Is it really you?"

"You’re alive, you didn’t die..." Li Anping rushed forward, embracing Jiang Ye, her voice choked with sobs.

The suppressed yearning and worry of thirty years exploded completely at this moment.

Jiang Dahai also walked swiftly over.

His hands trembled, patting Jiang Ye’s shoulder.

"It’s good that you’re back, good that you’re back..."

Jiang Ye’s heart surged with guilt.

Not returning for thirty years, he could understand his parents’ longing.

"Dad, Mom, I’m sorry."

"I didn’t notify you before I left." Jiang Ye said.

Li Anping shook her head, wiping her tears: "Silly boy, it’s good you’re back..."

Just then.

"Brother!"

A crisp voice sounded from upstairs.

A slender figure darted down.

Jiang Ting.

Thirty years later, the once little girl had matured into a graceful young lady, her long hair reaching her waist, her eyes clear and bright.

"Brother!"

Jiang Ting dashed over, clutching Jiang Ye’s arm, her eyes red.

"You actually remembered to come back?"

"So many years without a single word..."

Jiang Ye ruffled her hair, smiling: "It won’t happen again."

Jiang Ting said nothing, merely buried her face in his arm.

The family sat around together.

Li Anping busied herself preparing a meal, Jiang Dahai assisting by her side.

Jiang Ting stayed glued to Jiang Ye, chattering away without pause.

"Brother, will you leave again this time?"

Jiang Ye paused in silence.

"I will leave again."

"The starry sky is vast, strong enemies lurk, countless opportunities and conflicts lie ahead." Jiang Ye explained: "But I will visit often, won’t disappear without a word again."

"You always say that!" Jiang Ting pouted, seeming a bit aggrieved.

Jiang Ye chuckled helplessly, reaching out to gently pinch her soft cheek.

"You’re all grown up now, yet your temper has grown more pampered."

"It’s because you were gone for so long." Her cheeks flushed as she turned her head slightly, grumbling in a small voice.

Jiang Ye smiled, casually asking: "How is your cultivation going?"

Mentioning cultivation, Jiang Ting immediately perked up, her eyes shining brightly: "Hehe, you definitely can’t imagine this."
