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

Chapter 1232: Chapter 554: Breakthrough! Mid-period (Double-Length, Please Vote)

The Void Godship cut through the starry sky, landing at the Qiuqing Divine Hall.

With the silver light converging, Jiang Ye and Bai Qing walked out side by side.

“Friend Ye Jiang, this time we truly accomplished the task to perfection,” Bai Qing laughed heartily, “The brothers in the Divine Hall owe it all to you.”

Jiang Ye gently shook his head, “Just doing my duty.”

The two of them passed through the temple corridors, arriving at the core council chamber of the Qiuqing Divine Hall.

Bai Qing ordered someone to send messages to gather the most outstanding core geniuses in the Early Divine Body Realm from the hall.

“Since the resources are in hand, they should be distributed to the right hands,” Bai Qing explained, “This is the rule, and also motivation.”

Jiang Ye nodded without saying more.

The amount of millennial divine essence was already scarce, so naturally, it should be given to those who deserved it.

Shortly after, figures began arriving one after another.

Leading them was a gray-clad figure with a stern face, silent and uncommunicative, surrounded by an aura as deep as an abyss.

[Ranked 66th on the Earth List, Han Xiang]

His gaze swept over Jiang Ye, nodding slightly without saying much, then stood aside and closed his eyes to rest.

Following closely was a figure in blue clothes, tall with phoenix eyes exuding authority, surrounded by a sharp sword aura.

[Ranked 73rd on the Earth List, Qing Yao]

Her gaze fell on Jiang Ye, carrying a hint of scrutiny. She faintly furrowed her brows but did not speak.

“Hahaha, Elder Ye Jiang!”

At this moment, a hearty laugh came from outside the hall.

A burly man strode in, his face resolute, his aura solid as a mountain.

[Ranked 92nd on the Earth List, Zhao Tianji]

He walked up to Jiang Ye and clasped his fists in salute, “I’ve heard of your great name for a long time, today I finally meet you!”

“Brother Zhao is too kind,” Jiang Ye returned the salute.

Afterward, several other geniuses ranked outside the top 100 of the Earth List arrived one after another.

As everyone took their seats, their gazes all fell on Jiang Ye.

There was curiosity, scrutiny, and some indifference.

An Early Divine Body Realm elder with authority in the Caikun Civilization was, after all, an anomaly.

“Everyone.”

“Today, we have gathered everyone to distribute the resources from this mission.” Bai Qing stood up, raising his hand with a wave, “Millennial divine essence.”

Whoosh~

Forty-five milky-white droplets floated in the air, exuding a strong aura of the origin of the great path.

The room’s attention instantly burned with intensity.

“Millennial divine essence!”

“There’s actually so much?”

Someone whispered in astonishment.

Bai Qing continued, “This time, the total of forty-five portions of millennial divine essence was entirely secured by Elder Ye Jiang at the resource allocation meeting.”

“As per the Divine Hall’s rules, they’re distributed according to contribution.”

“Elder Ye Jiang himself is allotted fifteen portions,” Bai Qing said, “The remaining thirty will be distributed according to Earth List rankings.”

Bai Qing was the only person present ranked in the top ten of the Earth List.

Internal distribution in the Divine Hall had always been handled by him.

“Bai Qing, ranked 10th on the Earth List, gets ten portions.”

“Han Xiang, ranked 46th on the Earth List, gets five portions.”

“Qing Yao, ranked 73rd on the Earth List, gets four portions.”

“Zhao Tianji, ranked 92nd on the Earth List, gets three portions.”

“The remaining few, the remaining eight portions will be allocated according to their rankings.”

As his words fell, the room fell silent.

Some had dissatisfaction in their eyes, but no one spoke out openly.

Qing Yao furrowed her brows slightly, wanting to say something but refraining.

She opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing, though the scrutiny in her eyes deepened.

Zhao Tianji was straightforward, clasping his fists, “Elder Ye deserves it for his hard work!”

Han Xiang expressionlessly accepted the five portions of millennial divine essence, storing them in his space storage without any change of expression throughout.

“If there are no objections, let it be settled,” Bai Qing said.

No one publicly opposed.

But the atmosphere had become delicate.

…

After the distribution ended, the group dispersed.

Qing Yao walked side by side with several geniuses, slowing her pace.

“An Early Divine Body Realm getting fifteen portions?”

Qing Yao lowered her voice, with a hint of resentment in her eyes, “Can he even use that many?”

“Exactly.”

“If he doesn’t make it into the top 100 of the Earth List in three months, he’ll lose his elder position with authority.”

“At that point, wouldn’t it just be a waste?” someone echoed softly.

Another person also spoke softly, “With Qiuqing Divine Hall’s already tight resources, giving so much divine essence to a newcomer…”

The sentence wasn’t finished, but the implication was clear.

Just then, a gray-clad figure passed by.

“The resources were fought for by Ye Jiang.”

“It’s only natural he takes the lion’s share,” Han Xiang said calmly, without breaking stride, “If you’re not satisfied, fight for it yourself next time.”

His voice was calm yet carried an indisputable authority.

Qing Yao’s face changed slightly; she did not retort.

Han Xiang was the second in Early Divine Body Realm at Qiuqing Divine Hall, second only to Bai Qing, and his words weighed heavily.

Zhao Tianji caught up from behind, smiling, “I’d like to see how far he gets in three months.”

“The top 100 of the Earth List…”

“Maybe he really can make it?” Zhao Tianji laughed.

Qing Yao snorted coldly, “Then I’ll be waiting.”

She quickened her pace, disappearing at the end of the hall.

Zhao Tianji watched her back, shrugged, and also turned away.

As the meeting dispersed, the many geniuses privately exchanged doubts and expectations.

But no one dared to openly challenge.

After all, Jiang Ye’s status as an elder with authority still stood.

…

After everyone left, Jiang Ye found Bai Qing.

“Friend Bai Qing, I have a question,” Jiang Ye clasped his hands.

“Feel free to ask,” Bai Qing laughed.

“I wish to forge a custom divine weapon, where should I go?”

“The Fire Dragon Spear I have is a Tier One Divine Weapon, but ultimately it wasn’t tailor-made for me,” Jiang Ye said, “There’s always a bit of resistance when wielding it.”

Bai Qing pondered for a moment.

“Within the Caikun Civilization, the highest achievements in artifact refining belong to the Nine Star Divine Hall.”

“The Nine Star Divine Hall is proficient in heavenly formations and the art of artifact refining. Over eighty percent of the divine weapons in our Caikun Civilization are crafted by them,” Bai Qing laughed, “If you wish to forge a top-tier divine weapon, the Nine Star Divine Hall is your best choice.”
