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

Chapter 929 - 436: Competing Across the River! Meeting Cangxu (Three-in-One)

On the vessel of fortune.

Jiang Ye sat cross-legged, exuding an overwhelming aura from his body.

This aura was incredibly mysterious, making Jiang Ye appear as if he had completely merged with the land and sky. If someone used telekinesis to probe, they wouldn’t be able to detect Jiang Ye’s presence at all.

”So this is it.”

”Is this the mystery of the demigod level?” Jiang Ye suddenly opened his eyes, an expression of comprehension on his face: ”Taking the second step on the path of heaven and earth is indeed fundamentally different from the first step.”

If the first step was merely glimpsing the ’whole picture’ of a certain mystery.

The second step was to imprint one’s own mark on this mystery.

To put it plainly.

A powerhouse at the Ninth Break, after initially glimpsing the whole picture of heaven and earth, still just mobilizes the world but cannot make it their own.

This is fundamentally no different from a powerhouse at the Sixth Break ’invoking celestial phenomena.’

This is why some high-level civilizations regard the stages from the Sixth Break to the Ninth Break as a single realm; powerhouses in this stage only increase in quantity, not in quality.

But!!

”Once you become a demigod, it’s completely different.”

”A demigod imprints their mark on the path of heaven and earth.” Jiang Ye thought to himself: ”It’s equivalent to truly [mastering] this part of the world.”

At this moment, Jiang Ye was filled with enlightenment.

Swoosh~

With a thought, Jiang Ye caused a mass of earth-yellow light to gather, forming an earth-yellow light mass.

[Mystery of Earth]

”Condense!” Jiang Ye raised a finger, and the earth-yellow light mass rapidly transformed, sometimes forming a long spear, sometimes a battle saber, and sometimes a treasure sword.

No matter what form it took.

Its details and textures were incredibly exquisite, full of divine charm.

Even—

”Whoosh~” The earth-yellow light mass slightly shook and turned into a body indistinguishable from Jiang Ye.

Except for lacking intelligence, the body was almost identical to Jiang Ye’s.

”No wonder.”

”The life force of a demigod powerhouse is so vigorous.” Enlightenment surged in Jiang Ye’s heart: ”It’s not just because their physical body is strong.”

”More because!”

”The mysteries of the demigod level can fully condense a new body in an instant.” Jiang Ye couldn’t help but marvel.

This is the mystery of the demigod!

With many extraordinary, incredible abilities.

Most importantly, it was at his command, as if it had truly become a part of Jiang Ye.

”Except for being unable to create true life, everything else in the world can be molded effortlessly.” Jiang Ye marveled: ”This is a demigod.”

Speaking of this.

Jiang Ye suddenly had a thought: ”If a demigod has such great power, then what about a god?”

”Could it be that a god can create true life?” Jiang Ye pondered.

”Even gods can’t.” Bai Gui’s voice rang out: ”Creating life involves levels that are too complex; even True Gods cannot achieve it.”

”Life can only be conceived by the Cosmic Will.” Bai Gui said.

Jiang Ye realized this and wasn’t surprised.

How vast is the Cosmic Will?

From the birth, aging, illness, and death of mortals to the rank advancement of starry sky civilizations, all are under its influence.

Even gods operate within the workings of the Cosmic Will.

Even for a Five Realms True God, once the life span limit of one hundred thousand years is reached, no heavenly materials or earthly treasures can help; only death awaits.

Living one more second is a luxury.

”The Cosmic Will, ruthless yet fair.” Jiang Ye felt this in his heart.

But soon, he put away these feelings.

”The Mysteries of Earth have broken through to the tier two demigod level.” Jiang Ye stood up: ”It’s time to continue the journey.”

”Congratulations on the breakthrough, Jiang Ye.” Bai Jing’s voice came from afar.

His face was full of amazement and emotion.

The comprehension at the demigod level of mysteries!

Bai Jing had lived for over two hundred years, cultivating arduously for most of his life, but never crossed this threshold, yet Jiang Ye did it with such ease.

”Just a stroke of luck.” Jiang Ye smiled slightly.

Bai Jing, however, looked at the figure beside him: ”What is this?”

”It’s an avatar I cultivated.” Jiang Ye did not elaborate.

With a wave of his hand, he absorbed the avatar back into his body.

”Unfortunately, the physical body hasn’t broken through to the Tier Three Demigod.” Jiang Ye had a hint of regret in his eyes; the difficulty of improving a Tier Three Demigod’s physical body was beyond imagination.

He could only take it slowly.

”If I can obtain a [Life Meteorite], or even a higher level [Life Planet].” A glint of heat appeared in Jiang Ye’s eyes: ”I will surely break through in my physical realm.”

With this thought, he no longer hesitated.

”Let’s go.”

”If we don’t set off now, the opportunities ahead might all be taken by others.” Jiang Ye said in a low voice.

”Alright.” Bai Jing quickly urged the vessel of fortune forward.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two turned into a streak of flowing light, speeding along this tributary.

...

The entire tributary that followed, Jiang Ye and they encountered no one else.

This was also normal.

After all, since the start of the Civilization Struggle, all participating starry sky civilizations had already entered their respective areas.

After Jiang Ye cleared this area of alien races, naturally, they wouldn’t encounter anyone else.

Just like that.

The two reached the next fork smoothly.

They entered a higher-level tributary.

”Not many people.” Jiang Ye observed the surroundings; this tributary was at least ten times wider than the previous one, but they saw almost no alien powerhouses.

Along the way, there seemed to be almost no opportunities.

Evidently, during the time Jiang Ye was seeking breakthrough.

Most powerhouses had entered more advanced areas, and the opportunities in these downstream areas had been thoroughly divided.

”That’s good.”

”Saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one.” Jiang Ye’s expression was calm as he urged the vessel of fortune forward at full speed.

Quickly, they entered the third fork.

This tributary still didn’t have many people.

The two advanced quickly; within just ten minutes, they reached the fourth fork.
