It was a gray lotus seed, its surface etched with mystical patterns that seemed to flow like liquid, embodying the supreme principles of heaven and earth. A single glance at these patterns gave one the illusion of enlightenment.
"Primordial Chaos Divine Lotus," Jiang Ye murmured to himself. "Enhances comprehension and drastically accelerates cultivation speed."
"This treasure will be the most beneficial to me among all these artifacts," he thought. "I wonder how much it will boost my progress."
"Let's test it out first."
Without hesitation, Jiang Ye set down the treasure and began cultivating.
"True Divine Manual," he chanted, activating the White Dragon True Divine Manual.
White Dragon True Divine Manual (Upper Volume): Uninitiated (90%)
Reaching 95% completion of the True Divine Manual would mark the threshold of the peak fourth-breakthrough stage. Achieving entry-level mastery would unlock the fifth breakthrough!
Currently, Jiang Ye was only 10% away from the fifth breakthrough thresholdโa seemingly small gap.
However!
This final 10% represented the most challenging step in the entire stage.
Progressing from 90% to 100% might take even longer than advancing from 50% to 90%.
Yet, as Jiang Ye began cultivating, he immediately noticed something extraordinary.
"My cultivation speed seems significantly faster than before?" he murmured, slightly astonished.
Was it an illusion?
He continued cultivating for a while.
"It's not an illusion."
"My cultivation speed with the True Divine Manual is indeed significantly faster than before," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "At least thirty percent faster."
What's going on?
He hadn't consumed any treasures.
'System panel,' Jiang Ye glanced at the system panel.
The next moment, he froze slightly.
Holy Maiden Bond
Without him noticing, this buff had quietly activated.
"So it's because of the Holy Maiden Bond?" Jiang Ye was surprised. "Isn't Jiang Ting's innate talent supposed to be terrible? How could she be providing such a significant boost to me?"
The Holy Maiden Bond's talent bonus increased proportionally to the holy maiden's innate talent.
Jiang Ye had originally expected this achievement to offer minimal improvement.
But now it seemed... that wasn't the case.
"This is actually a good thing," Jiang Ye thought, dismissing further speculation.
He resumed cultivating.
After a while, Jiang Ye completed a cycle of the True Divine Manual and rose to his feet.
"Luoshen Spear," Jiang Ye grasped the long spear and began practicing the Luoshen Spear Technique.
Luoshen Spear: Minor Mastery (15%)
Whoosh!
Whoosh~ Whoosh! Jiang Ye swung the spear repeatedly, its blade flashing like lightning. Each strike carried overwhelming power.
"Spear technique."
"I haven't had time to fully digest the cultivation insights I absorbed from Hei Tianjue last time," Jiang Ye murmured, closing his eyes to focus.
However, he didn't attempt to process those insights at this moment.
One must eat one bite at a time.
Cultivation, too, must proceed step by step.
First, test the treasure's effects.
Time flowed.
Several hours later:
"Huff~" Jiang Ye stopped cultivating and glanced at his system panel.
White Dragon True Divine Manual (Upper Volume): Uninitiated (90%)
Luoshen Spear: Minor Mastery (15%)
"A brief cultivation session can't improve it after all," Jiang Ye murmured, shaking his head slightly.
Without further hesitation, he picked up the Primordial Chaos Divine Lotus, plucked a petal, and swallowed it.
"Glug~"
The petal dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth.
A surge of immense energy erupted from Jiang Ye's abdomen, shooting straight to his crown point, sending a jolt through his entire being.
"This feeling?"
"Quickly, cultivate!" Jiang Ye swiftly sat cross-legged and resumed circulating the True Divine Manual, following the same steps as before.
After completing one cycle of the True Divine Manual, he rose and began practicing the Luoshen Spear Technique.
In the blink of an eye, several more hours had passed.
"Whoosh!"
"Boom!" Jiang Ye unleashed a spear strike, completing the final form of the Luoshen Spear Technique.
A dazzling spear beam tore through the void, slashing toward the wall ahead.
"Boom!" The beam pierced through the wall, causing violent ripples to erupt across its surface as the Cosmic Fluid Material groaned under the strain.
The scene was astonishing.
This training chamber's Stellar Fluid Material was capable of withstanding attacks from cultivators at the seventh breakthrough stage.
Jiang Ye, only at the fourth breakthrough, had already unleashed such formidable power.
The spear technique's destructive potential was evident.
"My spear technique's power is improving rapidly," Jiang Ye murmured, a faint smile playing on his lips as he surveyed the devastation he had wrought.
This time, he didn't even need to check the system panel to know the progress was substantial.
"Progress," Jiang Ye glanced at the panel.
White Dragon True Divine Manual (Upper Volume): Uninitiated (90%) โ (91%)
Luoshen Spear: Minor Mastery (15%) โ (17%)
"The Luoshen Spear actually increased by 2%?" Jiang Ye exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise.
At this rate, his progress was astonishingly fast.
After absorbing the insights of hundreds of dao bone prodigies, the Luoshen Spear's rank had already approached divine-grade. Each 1% improvement was now exceedingly rare and precious.
To gain 2% from a single training session? Unimaginable.
"The True Divine Manual, on the other hand, only improved by 1%."
"The Primordial Chaos Divine Lotus's enhancement effect seems more potent for spear techniques," Jiang Ye mused, his eyes thoughtful.
This made sense.
After all, the True Divine Manual was primarily a cultivation technique.
Even cultivating with divine artifacts offered limited assistance.
Only extremely rare treasures, such as the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal, could significantly enhance the True Divine Manual.
Speaking of which...
"Oh, right." Jiang Ye flipped his palm and produced a section of jet-black crystal pillar.
The Myriad Spirits Black Crystal Pillar.
Jiang Ye had previously speculated that this artifact might resemble the Extreme Sea Primordial Pillar.
If he could repair it using Broken Mirror, Reunited, he would gain an endless supply of Myriad Spirits Black Crystals.
"Let's give it a try." Jiang Ye raised his hand and gripped the jet-black crystal pillar tightly.
"Broken Mirror, Reunited," he murmured inwardly.
In the next instant, a strange energy flowed from his palm into the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal Pillar.
Buzz!
The pillar vibrated slightly, emitting a faint glow from its surface.
"It worked?"
Jiang Ye's heart jolted.
He could sense an energy awakening within the pillar as he activated Broken Mirror, Reunited.
It was as if the pillar had come alive.
"Good!" Jiang Ye exclaimed, his face lighting up with surprise.
What had started as a mere experiment had actually worked.
Without hesitation, he gripped the pitch-black crystal pillar with both hands and began stroking it up and down. This was the only way to obtain the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal.
Soon, with a soft puchi~, an octagonal black crystal emerged from the pillar's apex.
"It really works!" Jiang Ye grinned with delight.
From this day forward, he could cultivate the True Divine Manual without any anxiety.
At least, before his fifth breakthrough, the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal's effects would be remarkably potent.
After the fifth breakthrough? Its efficacy might gradually diminish.
By the sixth breakthrough, it would become completely ineffective.
After all, the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal was merely a Fourth-Tier Upper A-Grade Opportunity, capable of benefiting only fifth breakthrough experts at most.
Still, for Jiang Ye, that was more than enough.
"With the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal and the Primordial Chaos Divine Lotus," he thought, his eyes gleaming, "combined with all the other treasures and opportunities I've acquired, my cultivation speed will undoubtedly skyrocket in the next six months!"
What level would Jiang Ye reach in half a year?
Jiang Ye himself wasn't entirely sure.
"Mm."
"First, I need to digest Hei Tianjue's insights," Jiang Ye murmured, closing his eyes. "It's time for the Luoshen Spear Technique to break through the divine-grade threshold."
As he closed his eyes,
Rumble! Jiang Ye's Sea of Consciousness Space suddenly began to tremble violently.
Countless streams of Flowing Light surged through the space, each carrying the cultivation insights of Hei Tianjue and the peerless prodigies of various alien races.
Now!
Jiang Ye was about to refine them all, channeling their essence back into himself.
He had a premonition that after this refinement, the Luoshen Spear Technique would finally shatter its shackles, truly reaching the divine-grade threshold!
While Jiang Ye was immersed in refining these cultivation insights,
Outside Blue Star, in a desolate stretch of the void,
where tranquility had once reigned,
Suddenly,
Buzz~ A ripple spread through the void, followed by the emergence of two indistinct figures, one black and one white.
Though their forms remained blurred, their auras were overwhelmingly powerful, distorting the very fabric of space. Their strength was absolute.
"Old Zhou, you received the message too?" the black figure asked.
"Hmm, Chen Jiuxuan's five hundredth birthday," the blurry white figure said. "He's invited us to the banquet."
"Are you going?" he asked, turning to the blurry black figure.
"Of course," the black figure chuckled softly. "It's the perfect opportunity to see if that old fool Chen Jiuxuan is truly on his deathbed."
"Blue Star is at a critical juncture."
"The Chen Clan has monopolized two Divine-Tier Opportunities for far too long. It's time they relinquished them," the black figure snorted coldly.
Turning to the white figure beside him, he asked, "Old Zhou, what about you? Are you going or not?"
"I'll go," Old Zhou replied after a moment's contemplation. "I've been wanting to uncover the secrets surrounding that girl from the Chen Clan."
"If my senses haven't deceived me," Old Zhou continued, "that girl might be a crucial piece in our plan."
"Plan?"
"Speaking of plans, that reminds me of someone else," the black figure suddenly said.
"Who?"
"Jiang Ye."
