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

Chapter 969 - 448: Jiang Ye’s Madness, Audacious Beyond Measure (Double - )

"It’s the source of the Purple Gold Divine Ore."

"The Zijin Divine Source." Bai Gui’s voice echoed: "Don’t even think about that thing. It’s integrated with the entire planet. Even the Cangxu Civilization can’t deal with it."

"Otherwise, they wouldn’t be mining here day after day."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

He recognized it too.

The Zijin Divine Source is fused with the planet. If forcibly extracting, it would become ’semi-useless,’ losing its original function.

"However."

"I have [Broken Mirror Reunited], I wonder if it can repair?" Jiang Ye felt a fleeting thought.

But soon, he realized the infeasibility of this matter.

After all, the Zijin Divine Source and the planet are fused. Who could separate them?

Perhaps only Majestic Divine Power could achieve that.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye shook his head slightly and didn’t consider it further.

Suddenly~

"Huh?"

"Is that? Star Array?" Jiang Ye’s gaze sharpened, staring intently in a certain direction.

He already saw from a distance that near the Zijin Divine Source, there was a faint glow... In fact, this glow wasn’t faint at all; enough to surpass twelve dragon-shaped main veins, but it seemed faint under the cover of the Zijin Divine Source.

"It’s a Star Array!" Jiang Ye held his breath, utterly certain.

Through that glow, he could see the internal scene.

It was evidently a crack similar to a spatial fissure, surrounded by numerous Technique patterns carved around, and within the crack appeared a dazzling corridor.

Starry Sky Corridor!

"No."

"This Star Array is sealed." Jiang Ye quickly observed: "Those patterns are sealing patterns, completely blocking the entrance."

Now, Jiang Ye had considerable expertise in formations.

In the realms of Taoist Skill, all paths converge.

After stepping into the Demigod Level of the Five Great Mysteries, he had gained insight into numerous Taoist skills.

This insight was not something he deliberately acquired, but occurred naturally like a baby would cry upon birth.

Just like now.

Jiang Ye immediately saw the operation rules of those patterns.

"A very strong formation seal." Jiang Ye focused intently in the direction of the Star Array: "Even a Fourth Tier Demigod might not be able to break it."

Such a seal could likely only be set by a God.

"No."

"The Cangxu Civilization sealed this Star Array likely to prevent mining slaves from escaping." A trace of doubt emerged in Jiang Ye’s heart: "If so, just destroy the Star Array directly."

"Why go through the trouble to set a seal here?"

"Moreover, even with a God personally taking action?" Jiang Ye furrowed his brows.

There’s only one reason.

This Star Array is still useful to the Cangxu Civilization!

For what purpose?

"Leading to the Huanglong Civilization." Jiang Ye’s eyes flashed: "Could it be that the Cangxu Civilization wishes to use this Star Array to secretly infiltrate spies into the Huanglong Civilization?"

This is entirely possible!

It’s commonplace for civilizations to plant spies within each other.

Just like Blue Star Civilization, which has numerous intelligence sources from the Shadow Race Civilization.

"But in this case."

"This Star Array is actually quite useful to me." Jiang Ye’s heart stirred.

He knew he had to focus his efforts on the Star Array!

"However."

"How do I break the seal?" Jiang Ye pondered; after all, it’s a seal set by God, and he naturally couldn’t achieve it with his power alone.

However, Jiang Ye still had a trump card to use.

[Blood God Finger]

Capable of unleashing Divine Body Realm power!

But this trump card, he had only one left, and once used, he could no longer unleash God-level power.

"It must be used at a critical moment." Jiang Ye’s eyes flashed, suddenly looking toward the nearby ’Zijin Divine Source.’

In an instant, countless ideas flashed through Jiang Ye’s mind.

"Got it." Jiang Ye’s eyes brightened slightly, and a bold plan took shape in his heart.

...

At the mine entrance, a figure in a blue robe entered slowly.

That person was the Tier Two Demigod powerhouse who had previously conversed with Jiang Ye.

"I have a feeling that the mining slave just now seemed suspicious." The blue-robed man muttered secretly: "A mining slave, daring to recklessly run out of the mine?"

It should be known that these mining slaves are prisoners captured by the Cangxu Civilization.

A significant portion of them were traitors planning to defect on the battlefield.

In dealing with such traitors, the Cangxu Civilization naturally showed no mercy. First, they detained all their clansmen, stripped them of all rights, demoting them to the lowest class. The women in the clan were drafted into the army, becoming objects of abuse and humiliation by the Cangxu Powerhouses.

And these traitors, after enduring inhumane punishments, were captured and sent to this mining planet to serve for life.

In other words,

After undergoing those punishments, these traitors had nearly completely lost the notion of escape, utterly submitting to the oppressive power of the Cangxu Civilization.

Yet, just now, Jiang Ye dared to walk out of the mine casually?

It doesn’t make sense!

"Go have a look." The man in blue, with his hands behind his back, walked into the mine tunnel.

His eyes scanned the mining slaves, attempting to spot the figure of Jiang Ye.

But quickly, the man in blue was stunned.

"Where is he?"

"Where was that guy just now?" The man in blue’s expression changed slightly, instantly extending his Divine Thought, covering the entire mine tunnel.

However, Jiang Ye’s figure was still nowhere to be found!

"This is bad." The man in blue instantly realized the gravity of the situation.

Yet before he could react,

"Boom!" A terrifying aura erupted from the depths of the planet, like an Ancient Fierce Beast awakening.

In the blink of an eye,

That vast pressure completely enveloped the entire mining planet.

"My Lord."

"Greetings to Lord Hongming." The man in blue’s expression changed, hurriedly bowing in salute.

The many mining slaves inside the tunnel fell to their knees in fear, their faces terrified, bodies trembling: "Greetings to the Star Guardian!"

What made them so terrified,

Was the most powerful guard of this mining planet—the Purple Gold Divine Ore Star Guardian, Hongming!

"How dare you!"

A majestic voice pierced through the sky, resounding across the land.

Instantly, the vast purple-black land trembled, as if torn apart by this voice, countless cracks appearing.

Immediately following,

A magnificent figure rose like a Proud Sun, grand and endless. It was a towering Technique, with eyes wide open, fury blazing within.

"Courting death!"

The towering Technique shouted angrily, its eyes looking toward the mine where the man in blue stood.

"Boom boom boom—"

Its gaze seemed to contain terrifying energy. As it swept over, many mining slaves within the mine exploded, a mist of blood spreading everywhere.

The man in blue was prostrated on the ground, trembling as well.

"It must have been that mining slave just now!"

"That bastard!!" The man in blue was extremely frightened. Though he didn’t know what had happened, he had some guesses.

The mining slave that disappeared mysteriously must have caused an enormous disaster!

Otherwise, it couldn’t have alarmed the Star Guardian.

"What on earth did he do?!" The man in blue cried out in his heart, filled with confusion.

Over the past millennium, the Star Guardian had never been so furious.

Today was the first time!

However, with that gaze exterminating all the mining slaves in the tunnel, this matter was far from over.

In the sky, the majestic Technique, [Hongming], was becoming angrier.

"Whoosh!" A tremendous pressure erupted, like a terrifying storm, enveloping the entire planet.

"Daring to covet the Cosmic Source?"

"Young one, I advise you to give up while you still can!" The majestic Technique’s voice thundered: "Turn back now, and I might spare your life."

Hearing this, the man in blue below was astonished.

"Cosmic Source?"

"So, that mining slave wanted to touch the Cosmic Source? Is he mad?" The man in blue was deeply shaken: "If anything happens to the Cosmic Source, the whole planet will shatter instantly, and no one will survive!"

"No, that’s not right."

At this thought, he suddenly realized: "To affect the Cosmic Source, one would need the power of at least a Tier Four Demigod."

"Even Lord Hongming couldn’t do it!"

"What makes that mining slave think he can..." The more the man in blue thought, the more fear took hold of his heart.

If that mining slave couldn’t do it, why would the Star Guardian be so angry? He would’ve struck him down long ago, let alone negotiate.

In other words,

That mining slave likely possesses the means to truly affect the Cosmic Source!

At the thought of this, an uncontrollable look of fear appeared on the man in blue’s face.
