"Jiang Ye?"
The white-robed Old Zhou asked, puzzled, "The boy is indeed somewhat extraordinary, but I haven't discerned anything particularly unusual about him."
"You haven't noticed?" The blurry black figure seemed surprised.
"He possesses a Primitive innate aptitude."
"Yet he's risen to prominence in such a short time," the black figure countered. "The secret behind his rapid ascent may be no less significant than the one hidden within that girl from the Chen Clan."
Old Zhou nodded slightly, offering no rebuttal.
"Next time, I'll use the dragon observation technique to examine him thoroughly," Old Zhou said.
"Very well," the black figure agreed.
The dragon observation technique was a unique ability exclusive to Old Zhou.
The term "dragon observation" wasn't literal; it referred to observing the supreme principles of heaven and earth and glimpsing the true intent of the great dao.
In other words, this ability allowed one to perceive the origin of all things, making it invaluable for treasure hunting, enlightenment, and even discerning heavenly secrets.
It was an immensely powerful technique.
Old Zhou's current status was largely due to this ability.
The Chen Clan girl had been analyzed using the dragon observation technique, confirming the existence of an astonishing secret within her.
But Jiang Ye? Old Zhou hadn't tried to deduce him yet.
"Oh, right," the blurry black figure said. "What do you make of Jiang Ye's challenge to Zhou Xingkong?"
"A challenge?" Old Zhou chuckled. "Just childish talk. Nothing to take seriously."
"Oh?" The blurry figure regarded him.
"That Zhou Xingkong kid is already in the late-stage of the fifth breakthrough," Old Zhou said calmly. "Jiang Ye, on the other hand, was only at the third breakthrough six months ago."
"Even with rapid progress, he'll struggle to reach the fifth breakthrough by the Great Stellar War in another six months."
"This challenge is destined to fizzle out," Old Zhou concluded, shaking his head.
Why fight when you know you'll lose? That's just throwing your life away.
He believed Jiang Ye wasn't foolish enough to do that.
"Even if Jiang Ye somehow reaches the fifth breakthrough," Old Zhou continued, shaking his head, "he still wouldn't stand a chance against Zhou Xingkong."
"Zhou Xingkong possesses Transcendent Aptitude."
No matter how strong a dao bone is, it's still just a dao bone.
Its limit is withstanding the pressure of a transcendent domain.
A dao bone defeating a transcendent being? Almost impossible.
At least, from Old Zhou's perspective, he couldn't believe such a thing could happen.
Jiang Ye remained completely unaware of the outside world.
At that moment, he stood in the Training Hall, continuously refining the vast and complex insights into cultivation that flooded his mind.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Grasping his long spear, Jiang Ye simultaneously digested these insights and practiced his spear technique.
Bang! Bang!
The spear moved like a dragon, unleashing a flurry of shadows. It thrust out with explosive force, then swept across in broad arcs, each strike and stance shifting endlessly, flowing seamlessly into the next.
Unconsciously, Jiang Ye's spear technique began to transform.
No longer adhering to its original, orderly form, he completely disrupted the sequence of movements, making it appear as if he were wildly flailing the spear.
Yet, had a master of the Spear Dao been present, they would have been astonished to discover that Jiang Ye's seemingly chaotic movements were actually continuously integrating something new.
This "something," however, belonged to no existing spear technique, which explained its seemingly disordered appearance.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As time passed, Jiang Ye's spear technique grew increasingly profound and unpredictable, absorbing more and more elements, becoming increasingly complex.
Gradually, his spear technique transformed completely. Its rhythm shifted dramatically, becoming both weighty and razor-sharp.
Suddenly—
Whoosh!
Jiang Ye's long spear erupted forward with explosive force, unleashing an unprecedented rhythm that fully manifested the Spear Art Divine Resonance.
The spear's radiance sliced through the void.
Swoosh! A terrifying wave of energy erupted instantly. As the spear's radiance passed, a visible white streak materialized in the void.
"This spear... it's actually affecting the void itself?" Bai Gui stood nearby, her delicate face etched with astonishment.
This was different from the usual "piercing the void" rhetoric.
Such phrases were typically symbolic descriptions of power, not literal rending of the void.
But Jiang Ye's spear had genuinely left a mark on the void.
"His spear technique has undergone a further metamorphosis."
"Has he already reached the threshold of divine-grade spear techniques?" Bai Gui smiled slightly. "What a peerless genius! To create a divine-grade cultivation technique before even reaching the fifth breakthrough."
Simultaneously, Jiang Ye sensed the profound change within himself.
It was as if the shackles that had bound him for so long had finally shattered.
He tightened his grip on the long spear, feeling a rhythm far surpassing anything he had known before, his entire being suffused with effortless ease.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Jiang Ye danced with the spear, its radiance flashing as each strike left faint white streaks in the void.
Each spear strike could effortlessly slay any peak fourth-breakthrough powerhouse!
"Finally, I've broken through!" Jiang Ye thought, his heart overflowing with joy.
After absorbing the insights of hundreds of alien race geniuses, the Luoshen Spear Technique had finally overcome that crucial threshold.
"Congratulations!" Bai Gui approached. "You've created a divine-grade spear technique."
"Truly divine-grade?" Jiang Ye asked, a smile spreading across his face.
He had previously suspected that the Luoshen Spear Technique had reached the upper limit of Heaven-Rank, with further advancement leading to the threshold of divine-grade. But that had been mere speculation.
Now, it was confirmed.
"The difference between divine-grade and Heaven-Rank spear techniques is truly immense," Jiang Ye mused. "The control over the spear and the explosive power—they are fundamentally different."
This was akin to the disparity between the True Divine Manual and Heaven-Tier Techniques. While the cultivation methods themselves might not differ drastically, subtle changes at critical junctures, amplified through a chain reaction, ultimately resulted in vastly different mastery and explosive power over stellar energy.
The Luoshen Spear Technique followed the same principle.
Previously, Jiang Ye's control over the spear and his ability to unleash its power had been less than one percent. Now, it had surged to ten percent or even higher.
The third ultimate move of the Luoshen Spear Technique, Spiritual Sea, should be nearing completion, Jiang Ye mused inwardly.
Creating a divine-grade spear technique had sparked numerous flashes of inspiration within him.
These insights would allow him to achieve a massive breakthrough in his spear technique in a remarkably short time.
"Time..."
"How long has it been?" Jiang Ye glanced at his phone.
He froze, slightly stunned.
"Half a month already?" Jiang Ye murmured in surprise. "Has my spear practice really lasted that long? I didn't even notice."
"Half a month isn't long at all," Bai Gui said with a shake of her head and a smile. "Law Creation is an incredibly immersive process."
"Many peerless geniuses spend years, even decades, trying to create techniques, only to fail in the end," Bai Gui continued. "To create a divine-grade spear technique in just half a month is truly astonishing."
Her gaze lingered on Jiang Ye, her eyes filled with admiration.
