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

Chapter 1233 - 554: Breakthrough! Mid-period (Double Release)

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

He had long heard about this.

"However."

"You just snatched quite a bit of the allocation from the Nine Stars Divine Hall at the resource distribution meeting." Bai Qing suddenly changed the topic. "That fellow Gu Lan may look easygoing, but he holds grudges."

"If you go now, the Nine Stars Divine Hall will certainly be willing to take your commission."

Jiang Ye’s brows furrowed slightly.

"Besides."

"Forging a fine Divine Weapon consumes a huge amount of time and resources." Bai Qing continued, "Selecting materials, designing the weapon embryo, inscribing formation patterns... every step is extremely time-consuming."

"Your primary task now is to break into the top hundred of the Earth Rankings; it isn’t suitable to distract yourself."

"Wait until three months later, once you’ve firmly secured the position of Authority Elder, then going to the Nine Stars Divine Hall will not be too late."

"By then, your identity and status will be different, and they won’t dare slight you." Bai Qing suggested.

Jiang Ye was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Fellow Daoist’s words make sense."

"Then we’ll wait three months." Jiang Ye’s gaze grew even more resolute.

Within three months, he had to secure a place in the top hundred of the Earth Rankings.

Not just for resources, but also to firmly plant his feet.

In the Caikun Civilization, everything was determined by strength.

Without strength, no one would even be willing to forge a Divine Weapon for you.

"By the way."

Bai Qing suddenly said, "The Qiuqing Divine Hall has a Time Secret Realm, personally opened up by Venerable Qiuqing, with a tenfold time flow."

"However, it can only be used one day each month, and you must apply in advance."

"You are now an Authority Elder, so you are qualified to enter." Bai Qing said.

Jiang Ye nodded slightly. "Understood, then I’ll apply today."

"Come with me." Bai Qing said with a smile.

...

Deep within the Qiuqing Divine Hall.

An ancient Light Gate stood upright, its frame covered with profound time formation patterns.

This was the Time Secret Realm of the Qiuqing Divine Hall.

Jiang Ye did not hesitate too much and stepped into it.

"Wong~!"

The Light Gate trembled, and his figure vanished from where he stood in an instant.

The next moment, Jiang Ye had already entered the Secret Realm. The space here was about a thousand zhang across, and the concentration of Heaven and Earth Power was more than a hundred times that of the outside world.

"Tenfold time flow?"

With Jiang Ye’s sharp perception, he noticed it immediately.

"I wonder if the time flow here can be stacked with the Profound Light Hall of the White Dragon Royal Court?" As the thought arose, Jiang Ye immediately moved his mind, attempting to awaken the White Dragon Royal Court.

Wong——

The White Dragon Royal Court imprint lit up, then quickly dimmed.

"No."

"The time rules here have already been solidified by a Venerable Supreme’s will; they cannot be stacked." Bai Gui’s voice sounded in his mind. "Forcing it open will only lead to rule conflict."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly and did not mind.

"Tenfold is enough."

He sat down cross-legged and took out a piece of Millennium Divine Marrow.

The Divine Marrow was milky white, about the size of a thumb, hovering in his palm and exuding a rich aura of Dao origin.

Just holding it in his hand, he could feel that extremely pure Divine Power.

"Let’s begin."

Jiang Ye closed his eyes and began refining it.

"Hua~"

Divine Power surged into his body like a tide.

The effect of the Millennium Divine Marrow far surpassed that of mid-grade Divine Crystals.

If mid-grade Divine Crystals were a trickling stream, then Millennium Divine Marrow was a roaring river.

A hundred times that of mid-grade Divine Crystals!

"Hualala~" Massive amounts of pure Divine Power poured into his limbs and bones, causing the Eternal Divine Patterns all over Jiang Ye’s body to light up as four-colored radiance flowed over the surface of his Divine Body.

The Four Great Laws resonated within his body: Spear Path, Void Law, Ashen Law, Dark Law...

Each Law was greedily devouring this surge of Divine Power.

His Divine Body strengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His flesh became more solid, his bones more sturdy, and the Eternal Divine Patterns on the surface of his skin grew even deeper.

And most crucial of all—

The Dao Planet.

In the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, that hazy Dao Planet trembled violently.

Washed by the Divine Power, dense patterns surfaced on the planet’s surface.

That was the core prototype of a second Dao Planet!

The core of cultivation in the Divine Body Realm lay in condensing more Dao Planets.

With each additional one, the thickness of one’s Divine Power doubled, and battle strength skyrocketed accordingly.

Jiang Ye was now moving toward his second.

...

Time flowed on.

Within the Secret Realm, ten days passed.

"Shua~"

Jiang Ye slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light bursting forth within them.

"The second Dao Planet already has a prototype."

Jiang Ye looked inward at his Sea of Consciousness and saw two massive stars suspended within. One of them was slightly smaller, like a newborn star—this was the second Dao Planet he had comprehended.

Under an ordinary fundamental cultivation method, Jiang Ye would already be enough to step into the Mid Divine Body Realm at this point.

But the conditions of the Black Dragon Eternal Scripture are even more stringent; it requires condensing four Dao Planets.

"Worthy of being millennium divine essence."

"The effect is astounding." Jiang Ye was pleasantly surprised.

Even with the harsh conditions of the Black Dragon Eternal Scripture, the progress of his Divine Body had advanced by more than twenty percent.

"There are still thirteen left in my hand."

"If I refine them all, breaking through to the Mid Divine Body Realm will be more than enough." Jiang Ye took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

He did not continue refining.

This Time Secret Realm had already reached its time limit.

"Let’s go out."

Jiang Ye stood up and stepped out of the Light Gate.

...

Outside the Secret Realm, Bai Qing was waiting.

Seeing Jiang Ye come out, he walked up with a smile.

"How was it?"

"The effect was excellent." Jiang Ye nodded, saying sincerely, "Many thanks, Daoist friend."

"No need to be polite."

"You’ve won so many resources for the Divine Hall, this bit of convenience is nothing." Bai Qing waved his hand. "Go back and cultivate well. Three months from now, I’ll be waiting to see you charge into the top hundred of the ranking list."

Jiang Ye smiled faintly, cupped his fists, and took his leave.

...

Myriad Phenomena Divine Hall.

Jiang Ye returned to his own palace hall and closed the gates.

There was no Time Secret Realm here, but on him, he had something even more precious than a Time Secret Realm.

"For the next three months."

"I’ll enter the White Dragon Royal Court and cultivate at full speed." Jiang Ye already had a plan in mind.

With a thought, he stepped into the White Dragon Royal Court.

Profound Light Hall.

A hundredfold time dilation!

Three months outside, inside——

A full twenty-five years!

"Are you sure you want to go into seclusion for that long?" Bai Gui’s voice rang out, carrying a hint of amazement. "Twenty-five years is not short."

"I’m sure."

"Twenty-five years is enough for me to do many things." Jiang Ye’s tone was firm.

Bai Gui was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Very well, then I won’t disturb you."

"I wish you an early breakthrough."

Jiang Ye sat cross-legged. Suspended before him were the remaining millennium divine essence, mid-grade divine crystals, and Divine Body Condensing Pills.

He closed his eyes and sank into cultivation.

The thirteen millennium divine essences were his greatest capital for breaking through to the Mid Divine Body Realm.

The mid-grade divine crystals and Divine Body Condensing Pills would assist his cultivation.

Twenty-five years would be enough for him to temper his foundation to the utmost.

"First secure the Mid Divine Body Realm."

"Then advance all sorts of divine powers to the God level."

"And finally..."

Jiang Ye opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing within.

"Charge into the top hundred of the ranking list!"

He took out the third millennium divine essence and held it in his palm.

The refinement began.

Eternal divine patterns lit up, and the Four Great Laws resonated.

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the Dao Planet trembled.

The second Dao Planet was slowly growing stronger.

Time slipped by silently amid cultivation.

Within the White Dragon Royal Court, there was no sun or moon.

The third drop of millennium divine essence.

The fourth drop.

The fifth drop.

Jiang Ye was like an ascetic monk, day after day refining divine essence, tempering his Divine Body, and deducing divine abilities.

His aura climbed slowly yet steadily.

The second Dao Planet reached Perfection.

Next came the third, the fourth....

Time flowed on.

No one knew how long had passed—perhaps but an instant, perhaps a long epoch.

When the fifteenth millennium divine essence was completely refined——

Boom!!!

Inside his body, a thunderous roar exploded.

Deep in his Sea of Consciousness, the fourth Dao Planet officially reached Perfection!

Four dim-gray planets slowly revolved, echoing one another, forming a subtle balance.

Mid Divine Body Realm!

Breakthrough!

Jiang Ye snapped his eyes open. Four-colored radiance surged around him, and the eternal divine patterns blazed like a scorching sun.

His Divine Body swelled once more, surging from three hundred thousand zhang to five hundred thousand zhang!

"At last."

"I’ve reached the Mid Divine Body Realm." Jiang Ye clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
