In the mysterious space,
"Is that it?"
"Seven Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough powerhouses—six dead, one escaped."
"Jiang Ye, that kid... he's truly something else," Ji Ba couldn't help but marvel.
He and Ji Wei had been observing Jiang Ye's battle against the seven experts.
Despite having mentally overestimated Jiang Ye beforehand, Ji Ba now realized he had still underestimated him.
"Ji Wei, why aren't you saying anything?" Ji Ba asked curiously, glancing at the figure beside him.
"What's there to say?"
The short, black-robed Ji Wei shook his head. "I knew Jiang Ye would win all along."
"Ha! You're just saying that now," Ji Ba scoffed. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"What's 'saying that now'?"
"Jiang Ye has mastered the Spear Art Divine Resonance. Killing those people was inevitable," Ji Wei explained. "If he couldn't even defeat these non-invincible dao bone holders, he wouldn't deserve to be called a Divine-Grade Genius."
Ji Ba nodded in agreement. That made sense.
"If he can't skip two breakthrough stages, can he even be called a Divine-Grade Genius?"
Suddenly, Ji Ba pointed at the projection screen. "Look! Hei Tianjue is clashing with the people from the Mountain and Sea Civilization."
Ji Wei also turned to watch.
Hei Tianjue, the invincible dao bone of the Fourth Breakthrough Zone, was a subject of their close attention.
Moments later, a terrifying battle erupted on the screen.
The fight was incredibly intense, yet surprisingly brief.
In just a few seconds, Hei Tianjue had annihilated all his opponents.
"Did I just see that right?"
"What was that just now?" Ji Ba and Ji Wei stared intently at the screen.
The battle had completely taken them by surprise.
"Hei Tianjue has actually mastered the seventh ultimate move of the Heaven-Shattering Spear Technique?"
"And five levels of Spear Dao Intent!"
"He was holding back this entire time?" Ji Ba and Ji Wei were utterly astonished.
The Heaven-Shattering Spear Technique was a Heaven-Tier High-Grade spearmanship technique, comprising nine ultimate moves corresponding to the first through ninth breakthroughs.
Top-tier geniuses typically begin cultivating higher-level ultimate moves in advance.
Even with an invincible dao bone and having reached the Fourth Breakthrough Stage, mastering the Sixth Style Ultimate Technique was already considered exceptionally impressive.
The Seventh Style Ultimate Technique? That was simply absurd.
Not to mention, Hei Tianjue had also cultivated five layers of Spear Dao Intent.
"A spearmanship prodigy!"
"We underestimated him," Ji Wei said, narrowing his eyes. "Hei Tianjue's innate talent for the Spear Dao might rival Jiang Ye's."
Previously, they had considered Hei Tianjue merely a second-rate genius.
But now?
He had clearly ascended to the ranks of top-tier talents.
"How does his Seventh Style Ultimate Technique compare to Jiang Ye's Spear Art Divine Resonance?" Ji Ba asked.
Ji Wei pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "Hei Tianjue has the edge. After all, Jiang Ye—"
He abruptly cut himself off mid-sentence.
Ji Wei's expression suddenly changed, realizing he had blurted out his true thoughts. Damn it! How did I let that slip?
He turned to glare at Ji Ba.
"You old fox!" Ji Wei snapped. "Trying to trick me into revealing my hand, aren't you?!"
"Hahaha!"
"Then I'll bet Jiang Ye still has the upper hand!" Ji Ba stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
"Hmph!"
"I'm not afraid to bet with you this time either," Ji Wei sneered. "Jiang Ye has only grasped a sliver of Divine Resonance; he hasn't even achieved basic mastery."
"But Hei Tianjue's ultimate move, Hei Tianjue, is already remarkably refined."
"Facing him, Jiang Ye's chances of survival are slim," Ji Wei scoffed.
Having already let slip his analysis, he decided to lay it all out.
"Ji Ba," he said, his voice dripping with disdain. "Since you want to bet, let's raise the stakes. If you lose, the Enlightenment Divine Jade the Venerable gifted you last time is mine."
Ji Ba's expression darkened slightly. Another wager?
Even for powerhouses like them, Enlightenment Divine Jade was a rare and precious commodity.
But having gone this far, he couldn't back down now.
"Fine," Ji Ba retorted. "But if you lose, you owe me two Enlightenment Divine Jade. Otherwise, I'm out."
"You—!" Ji Wei's anger flared, but he gritted his teeth and snapped, "Fine!"
Two Enlightenment Divine Jade?
Let the bet stand.
He wasn't just betting on this.
This time, he would wager everything to reclaim every shred of lost face!
Jiang Ye and Liu Shishi flew swiftly onward, soon reaching the Purple Phoenix Mountain region.
"Perceptive Insight," Jiang Ye murmured, his eyes flashing with a brilliant light as dazzling rays erupted before him.
"Fourth-Tier A-Grade, Fourth-Tier A-Grade, Fourth-Tier A-Grade..."
"This place actually has three Fourth-Tier A-Grade Opportunities?" Jiang Ye's breath caught in his throat. "And one of them is even Upper A-tier!"
The sight left Jiang Ye astonished.
Three Fourth-Tier A-Grade Opportunities in a single opportunity zone? That was beyond absurd.
"No wonder it's called the Third Star Ring," he thought, his heart burning with anticipation. "The opportunities here are truly abundant. If I can claim them all, I'll gain significant advancements."
Advancement could never come too quickly.
Though Jiang Ye's progress had already been astonishingly rapid, he still felt it wasn't enough.
The year was now 2328.
The Great Stellar War was scheduled for this very year!
Jiang Ye never forgot his promised battle with Zhou Xingkong.
Last year, Zhou Xingkong had already reached the mid-stage of his fifth breakthrough.
By the time the Great Stellar War arrived, he would undoubtedly be even stronger.
Jiang Ye needed to achieve his fifth breakthrough as soon as possible to stand a chance of fulfilling his promise.
"I'll claim every single one of these opportunities," Jiang Ye declared, his eyes gleaming with unwavering resolve as he gazed ahead.
Achieving the fifth breakthrough was no easy feat.
According to the overseer, the difficulty of progressing from the mid-stage of the fourth breakthrough to its peak far exceeded what could be accomplished in three months.
And the leap from the peak of the fourth breakthrough to the fifth? That would be even more arduous.
Even with an invincible dao bone, advancing from the fourth to the fifth breakthrough would require over a year.
Jiang Ye couldn't afford to wait that long.
Therefore, he had to devour as many opportunities as possible!
"The opportunities here don't seem fully mature," Jiang Ye observed, gazing ahead.
Having encountered numerous opportunities and treasures, Jiang Ye had gained a solid understanding of them.
A mature opportunity would inevitably manifest astonishing phenomena or emit intense spiritual pressure.
Yet none of these signs were present.
This indicated that the opportunities within Purple Phoenix Mountain were still in their nascent stages.
"It seems the maturation times on the map are merely approximations," Jiang Ye mused inwardly.
Just then, Bai Gui suddenly spoke, "I sense the aura of a civilization fireseed."
"Hmm?"
"A civilization fireseed?" Jiang Ye's expression shifted. "Where?"
In the Third Star Ring, beyond opportunities, the most crucial resource was the civilization fireseed.
To enter the Divine Temple and claim Divine-Tier Opportunities, one needed to gather a sufficient number of civilization fireseeds!
"Southeast," Bai Gui said.
Hearing this, Jiang Ye telepathically told Liu Shishi, "Come with me."
"Okay," Liu Shishi replied immediately.
Whoosh! They moved swiftly.
