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

Chapter 1137 - 518: Breakthrough! Demigod Perfection (Two-in-One)

The person who arrived was Jiang Ye.

”Congratulations, fellow Daoist.”

”For stepping into the realm of the demigod.” Jiang Ye cupped his hands in salute as he had noticed the change in the other’s aura.

”I’m not worthy of being called a fellow Daoist.” Wang Zilu shook her head and said, ”I’m still far behind you.”

She could sense that Jiang Ye’s aura was even more unfathomable than before.

This made her feel a twinge of disappointment... She had thought that breaking through to demigod would allow her to catch up to Jiang Ye’s pace, but instead, he seemed even further away.

”You jest, fellow Daoist.”

”Brother Ye judges people not by strength.” Jiang Ye smiled faintly.

His words slightly calmed the girl’s mood.

”You’ve come because of Chen Zilu, haven’t you?” Wang Zilu went straight to the point.

Upon hearing those three words, Jiang Ye’s expression became serious.

”Correct.”

”Did you say you saw visions about her?” Jiang Ye asked deeply.

Wang Zilu hesitated for a moment before slowly starting to speak.

”Several months ago, I saw visions about her again.”

”She seems to have regained her mobility.” Wang Zilu said, ”Not like before, being stuck in place, unable to move.”

Jiang Ye’s heart stirred.

So, it seems that Chen Zilu’s situation might be improving?

”However.”

”Her space for activity is very limited, still confined within that tower hanging upside down in the sky.” Wang Zilu pondered and said, ”In some of the visions that flashed through my mind, she’s always staring blankly out of the window, her gaze empty as if trying hard to recall something.”

”Sometimes, she’d suddenly clutch her head, showing a pained expression.”

”As if something is eroding her memory.”

Wang Zilu’s words fell.

Jiang Ye couldn’t help but stand frozen in place.

Chen Zilu.

The girl who came from the same planet as him, sharing countless life-and-death experiences.

Now, she’s trapped in an unknown darkness, even her memories are being stripped away.

”The tower.”

”The tower hanging upside down in the sky?” Jiang Ye felt inexplicable heartache, and at the same time, firmly embedded these words in his mind.

He was increasingly eager to go to the third-level civilization and find Chen Zilu.

But without notification from the Caikun Civilization, he couldn’t rashly venture there... There’s strict limitations between third-level and second-level civilizations, a powerhouse from a second-level civilization can’t approach without introduction.

”Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist.”

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and solemnly said, ”If you see any relevant visions, please let me know at the earliest.”

”Mm.”

Wang Zilu said softly, ”I can tell that you care deeply about that girl.”

”Therefore, it was necessary for me to say these things.”

Her voice was light, but carried an indescribable complexity.

Jiang Ye looked up, at the face conspicuously similar to that of Chen Zilu, and his heart couldn’t help but move slightly.

The changes in Wang Zilu, he noticed.

She used to be lively and playful.

Now she’s cold and aloof, as if there’s a thin veil separating her from everything in the world.

Only when facing him would she show that faint amount of warmth.

Could Wang Zilu’s change be related to Chen Zilu?

What exactly is the connection between them?

Why can Wang Zilu repeatedly see visions about Chen Zilu?

These questions still have no answers.

But right now, he has no time to delve deeper.

”No matter what, I must quickly go to the third-level civilization.” Jiang Ye thought to himself.

Only by going there will there be more clues.

”Fellow Daoist, farewell.”

Jiang Ye turned and left.

Wang Zilu watched as his figure moved into the distance, a touch of wistfulness flashing through her cold eyes.

...

Outside the Royal Family’s territory.

Just as Jiang Ye was about to leave the Royal Family’s domain, a familiar figure flew towards him head-on.

”Brother Ye Jiang?”

The person who arrived was Wang Zihuang, who, upon seeing Jiang Ye, had a glimmer of joy in his eyes: ”Brother Ye Jiang, long time no see.”

”Senior Brother Wang.”

Jiang Ye cupped his hands, showing a hint of a smile.

”I cannot bear the title of Senior Brother.” Wang Zihuang shook his head with a laugh, ”In terms of strength, you are now my Senior Brother.”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a moment.

”Any breakthroughs in recent days, Brother Wang?” Jiang Ye asked.

Wang Zihuang shook his head with a bitter smile, ”There’s still a long way to go to Demigod Perfection.”

”But you, Brother Ye...”

He looked at Jiang Ye with a trace of inquiry, ”How is your progress?”

”Not bad.”

”There’s been some advancement.” Jiang Ye smiled faintly, without expressing his Demigod Perfection aura.

Wang Zihuang didn’t probe further, but changed the topic, ”Brother Ye, do you know the ’Starry Sky Powerhouse Ranking’?”

”Starry Sky Powerhouse Ranking?” Jiang Ye showed a look of confusion.

He honestly hadn’t heard of it.

”Starry Sky Powerhouse Ranking.”

”It’s a list compiled by many powerhouses privately after the arrival of the Starry Sky Channel.” Wang Zihuang’s eyes flashed with intensity, ”Though it’s not officially released, it’s acknowledged by numerous powerhouses.”

”It records the rankings of demigod powerhouses across the Seventh Star Domain, the five great super star system groups, and over a thousand second-level civilizations.”

”Anyone who makes the list is considered to have a hope of ascending to divinity.”

”Both you and Bai Cantian have entered the top ten thousand.” Wang Zihuang’s tone held admiration.

Jiang Ye’s eyebrows slightly raised, then showed a look of curiosity.

In the Seventh Star Domain, with so many geniuses in the five super star system groups?

To make it into the top ten thousand is already a considerable achievement.

”Brother Ye, this is the Starry Sky Powerhouse Ranking.” Wang Zihuang raised his hand and gestured.

Whirr ~ countless rays of light gathered, forming a massive ranking projection.
