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

Chapter 822 - 409: The Nonexistent Person

"Cause and effect manipulator?"

"The name of Marquis of the Blue Sky, encapsulating all cause and effect?" Jiang Ye gaped in astonishment: "And all causes resulting from it have nothing to do with me?"

This ability defies the natural order.

Severing all cause and effect!

Now Jiang Ye clearly understood that the fortune deduction technique tied to talent, in some sense, relies on fortune to stir cause and effect, thus gaining various information.

But if Jiang Ye possessed this ability?

Then no matter who attempts deduction, they can only trace it to the ’Marquis of the Blue Sky’.

And due to the ability of [Cause and effect manipulator], all cause and effect related to the Marquis of the Blue Sky have nothing to do with Jiang Ye himself, meaning deductions cannot trace back to Jiang Ye personally.

In other words, anything Jiang Ye does under the guise of ’Marquis of the Blue Sky’ cannot be deduced or perceived!

"Wait... there seems to be a bug."

"I am the Marquis of the Blue Sky, the Marquis of the Blue Sky is me." Jiang Ye pondered: "In that sense, I still face many influences."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye could not help but look at the final achievement.

[My Name is My Dao]!

"Splitting the real self?"

"Nurturing a Dao body from the true self?" Jiang Ye’s eyes gleamed: "These two abilities combined are tailored specifically for me."

The true self never dies, the Dao body never extinguishes!

If that’s the case, why not let the Dao body become the ’Marquis of the Blue Sky’, to travel the world on his behalf?

In this way, all cause and effect would be attributed to the Dao body, unable to link back to Jiang Ye himself.

"If that’s truly the case, many things would be much easier." Jiang Ye’s mind flooded with numerous thoughts.

However.

The Dao body still requires time to nurture; it is not something achieved overnight.

"No rush."

"The Marquis of the Blue Sky, after all, is a title within the Huanglong Civilization." Jiang Ye thought: "I have now returned to Blue Star, and there is no urgency to use this identity."

With this thought, Jiang Ye immediately withdrew his gaze.

Then, he looked onward towards the top of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder.

"Let’s first try to ascend to higher layers." Jiang Ye’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

He now possesses strength comparable to the Ninth Break, surely able to climb to higher layers.

Whoosh!

Jiang Ye’s figure moved, instantly arriving beneath the 8th Layer of the Heavenly Ladder, then proceeded to step onto the stairs.

"Boom!"

At the instant Jiang Ye stepped onto the stairs, an immense pressure descended like a torrent of seawater.

"What?"

"Why is the pressure so terrifying?" Jiang Ye’s expression changed; even with his current strength, he felt it arduous to move.

If it were an ordinary Sixth Break Powerhouse, they might have been crushed instantly on their first step.

"Heaven and Earth Power." Jiang Ye gritted his teeth.

Five Great Mysteries enhancement!

Grey Ash Law, Void Law integration!

In an instant, Jiang Ye’s combat power returned to its peak period, and a surge of power swelled within him.

"Step~" Jiang Ye stepped once again, finally ascending the first stair.

At this moment, the pressure reached an extreme, almost bending Jiang Ye’s body.

"How could this be?"

Jiang Ye looked up, feeling a darkness envelop his sight.

Because above him, there were at least a hundred more stairs!

Moreover, the Heavenly Ladder extended into the clouds and mist, with no end in sight.

"Path of Ascension."

"So this is the Path of Ascension." Jiang Ye gritted his teeth: "It’s truly challenging!"

With his current power comparable to the Ninth Break, he could only ascend the first stair.

A terrifying conjecture emerged in Jiang Ye’s mind.

Will he have to become a God before reaching the end?!

Moments later.

Jiang Ye reluctantly gave up, retreating back to the 8th Layer of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder.

"It seems if I want to ascend higher layers." Jiang Ye sighed: "Even breaking through the Ninth Break, it’s far from enough."

Though disappointed, Jiang Ye wasn’t too surprised.

After all, in reality, from Sixth Break to Ninth Break, there is no essential difference.

Although the discrepancy in combat power is vast, these realms are identical in life origin... as seen from their lifespan.

A Fifth Break Powerhouse can live up to two hundred years.

A Sixth Break Powerhouse, the lifespan limit is three hundred years.

And the Ninth Break Powerhouse? The same three hundred year lifespan limit!

Only after breaking through as a Demigod can the three-hundred-year lifespan restriction be shattered, enjoying five hundred springs and autumns.

"In that sense,"

"Perhaps I should wait until I break through as a Demigod before attempting the next level again." Jiang Ye contemplated.

Demigod?

For Jiang Ye, it was not distant.

Despite his current real realm being only the Sixth Break, his Heaven and Earth insights are close to the Ninth Break; breaking through the Ninth Break poses virtually no barrier for him.

"Let’s go."

"It’s time to leave." Jiang Ye’s eyes held a touch of anticipation: "Half a year’s time, what changes have occurred in Blue Star?"

...

Blue Star.

In the basement over three thousand meters deep at White Dragon University.

"Whew!" The void trembled, and a figure appeared out of thin air, landing on the ground.

"Me?"

"I’m back." Jiang Ye surveyed his surroundings, looking at the metal-structured secret room before him, momentarily bewildered.

Although half a year’s time wasn’t long, to Jiang Ye it felt as though he had traversed a different world, experiencing countless things.

Returning now to familiar soil, he felt a tinge of alienation.

Thankfully, given his current realm, he quickly adapted.

"Here... is the secret chamber where I secluded myself earlier." Jiang Ye recalled: "Located three thousand meters underground at White Dragon University, completely isolated from the outside world."

It seems.

No one disturbed him during these six months.

"Hm?"

At this moment, Jiang Ye suddenly felt a connection in the depths of his mind, as if linked to his life origin, bearing an indescribable relationship.

"Dao body?"

"My Dao body is in nurture." Jiang Ye glanced at the panel, instantly understanding.
