Several minutes later, Jiang Ye returned to the training room carrying a large chest.
Click! He opened the treasure chest.
Buzz! A dazzling light erupted.
When the radiance faded, the chest was filled with treasures emitting a soft, ethereal glow. All of them were Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures.
Jiang Ye picked up one of the treasures: a metallic flask radiating a faint luminescence. Holding it close to his ear, he could faintly hear the crackle of thunder.
"It's indeed Thunder Essence Spirit Nectar," he murmured.
"An Upper B-Tier Opportunity," a smile played on his lips.
These ten Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures, all rewards for winning the league championship, should significantly boost his strength.
However, having already consumed many opportunities, even the miraculous Thunder Essence Spirit Nectar would likely have its effects greatly diminished.
"Two months until the Star Realm Sea," Jiang Ye glanced at his status panel. "My strength should improve substantially by then."
Cultivation Techniques
Nine Luminaries Star-Treading: Major Success (20%) Great Sun Spear Technique: Major Success (70%) Heavenly Tribulation Fist: Major Success (10%) White Dragon True God Manual (Upper Volume): Uninitiated (57%) Star-Piercing Arrow Technique: Uninitiated (70%) Cold Sun Spear Technique: Small Success (65%) * Luoshen Spear: Entry (45%)
"There's still so much to cultivate," Jiang Ye thought, staring at his status panel with a headache.
At that moment, he suddenly understood why Bai Gui hadn't opened up other inheritances. The basic cultivation techniques alone would keep him busy for a long time. If he were to delve into the secret techniques and arts of a third-tier civilization, the difficulty would only increase, and progress would become even slower.
"I rarely use Nine Luminaries Star-Treading and Heavenly Tribulation Fist now," he mused, "but who knows? One day I might find myself without a weapon, forced to rely on close-quarters combat. I should still practice them."
"First, I'll cultivate those two to Perfection."
"Then, the True God Manual, Star-Piercing Arrow Technique, and spearmanship..." Jiang Ye meticulously planned his cultivation path.
Two months was a significant amount of time, enough for him to make substantial progress. The key was to utilize every moment effectively.
"I need to cultivate the True God Manual to the late stage of the third breakthrough as quickly as possible," he resolved. "Only then will I truly be considered a late-stage third breakthrough expert."
Although his life level had already reached the late stage of the third breakthrough, true experts at this level possessed far greater mastery over stellar energy than he did.
The key lies in the 'qi vortex'.
Cultivating the third breakthrough involves condensing qi vortices to enable the Guanyuan Acupoint to store higher-level stellar energy.
From the early to the peak stage of the third breakthrough, a total of seven qi vortices must be condensed.
The more qi vortices one has, the higher the level of stellar energy one can store and the greater one's control over that energy.
As for Jiang Ye? He had barely condensed his first.
"Regarding spearmanship..."
"The Luoshen Spear is extremely difficult. I should first master the Great Sun Spear Technique to Perfection, then cross-reference it with the Cold Sun Spear Technique," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "I need to reach Small Success before the Star Realm Sea."
Small Success? That would be incredibly challenging.
The difficulty of the Luoshen Spear was comparable to that of the Star-Piercing Arrow Technique, a Heaven-Tier High-Grade cultivation technique.
He hadn't even begun to grasp the Star-Piercing Arrow Technique.
"Right, the Martial Saint Bond."
"That could greatly accelerate my cultivation speed," Jiang Ye suddenly realized. "It should work the same for my senior sister, shouldn't it?"
"But I'd have to get it from her."
At this thought, Jiang Ye hesitated.
He couldn't just keep running to Chen Zilu's house every day, could he?
She might not even be willing.
"Oh, right."
"One more thing," Jiang Ye suddenly remembered. "Before we go to the Star Realm Sea, we should go to the Cosmic Divine Path for the Third Breakthrough Certification."
With his current status and strength, he no longer needed to worry about securing a spot on the Cosmic Divine Path. Besides, White Dragon University provided one spot annually for its Upper A-tier students.
A successful certification would also bring substantial rewards, Jiang Ye thought.
He still remembered the eve of the College Entrance Examination. If he hadn't participated in that Cosmic Divine Path Certification, he might not have been able to get into Penglai University.
Passing the Cosmic Divine Path Certification had significantly boosted his strength.
"However,"
"The Third Breakthrough Certification requires time." Jiang Ye checked the Cosmic Divine Path website. "The next session is over a month away."
"Just in time for the Star Realm Sea to open?"
"Perfect." Jiang Ye smiled. "Before entering the Star Realm Sea, my strength will have another major boost."
After a long moment,
"Let's begin cultivating," Jiang Ye said, his mind gradually calming.
All these plans were for the sake of becoming stronger. And the simplest way to grow stronger was through cultivation. He shouldn't let his plans delay his cultivation—that would be putting the cart before the horse.
Jiang Ye walked to the center of the training room and began cultivating.
At first, Jiang Ye felt a surge of energy.
"After my innate talent improved, my cultivation became much smoother," he thought, his eyes lighting up. He could sense his body had become significantly lighter and more agile.
He quickly immersed himself in cultivation.
Time passed, and the next day arrived.
In the training room, Jiang Ye slowly concluded his practice, his gaze sweeping across the status panel.
Nine Luminaries Star-Treading: Major Success (20%) → (25%)
"A 5% increase in one day," he mused. "That's already quite fast." A faint smile touched his lips. "After all, this is the Major Success stage of an Earth-Rank Secret Art."
The power of Cosmic Secret Arts wasn't static; it grew with one's cultivation realm.
Similarly, the difficulty increased exponentially.
But now, with his greatly enhanced innate talent and broadened perspective, Jiang Ye found cultivation naturally easier.
"Still, achieving Perfection will take at least another half a month," he thought. "That still feels too slow."
With only two months remaining, he wanted to dedicate more time to his cultivation method and spearmanship.
Just as Jiang Ye was lost in thought,
"Buzz!" His phone rang.
"What's this?" Jiang Ye glanced at his phone; it was an unfamiliar number.
After a moment of contemplation, he answered.
"Ring!"
Whoosh! Countless rays of light converged, coalescing into a figure in purple robes.
"Hello, Classmate Jiang," the man said with a warm smile. "I am Li Hao, Director of the Li Clan's corporate group. The Li Clan is one of the transcendent families."
"The Li Clan?" Jiang Ye frowned slightly. He held no fond memories of the family.
"What business do you have?" Jiang Ye asked calmly.
"No need to be nervous, Classmate Jiang," Li Hao replied with a smile. "I'm here on behalf of the Li Clan to invite you to join us."
"Join the Li Clan?" Jiang Ye's brow furrowed. "I believe I've refused before."
"Don't rush to respond, Classmate Jiang."
"You may not know Zhou Xingkong of the Zhou Family," Li Hao said earnestly. "For him, being challenged by someone with a Primitive innate talent is a matter of great shame."
"When you fight him, Zhou Xingkong will certainly show no restraint on the appointed date. He might even cripple you."
"But if you join our Li Clan," Li Hao said with a smile, "Zhou Xingkong might hesitate to harm you, given your family's status."
Jiang Ye didn't answer immediately.
After Li Hao finished speaking, a few seconds passed.
"Director Li," Jiang Ye said, "are you so certain I'll lose to Zhou Xingkong?"
"Zhou Xingkong is two years ahead of you," Li Hao replied, shaking his head slightly. "You stand almost no chance." This was simply the truth.
Whether it was the age gap or the difference in innate talent, he didn't hold much hope for Jiang Ye.
In his view, Jiang Ye's challenge to Zhou Xingkong was nothing more than a reckless display of pride, an impulsive act.
"Director Li is right," Jiang Ye said with a smile, adding nothing more.
"Classmate Jiang, have you considered my offer?" Li Hao asked with a smile. "Joining the Li Clan... this might be your last chance."
He continued, "According to our investigation, you have Li Clan blood. If you join us, your future will be far brighter."
"Li Clan blood?" Jiang Ye's eyes narrowed.
So it was true.
This Li Clan was the same one from his dreams.
A transcendent family!
