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

Chapter 1280: Peak of the Divine Body Realm!

To make the Profound Celestial Maiden reveal a fluctuation, this was absolutely the first time.

“This Ye Jiang truly has some skill.” Yue Wuji sighed inwardly.

“However.”

“Ye Jiang did not inflict any real injury on Mo Yuan.” Yue Wuji added, “So I struck afterward and forced Mo Yuan to retreat.”

The Profound Celestial Maiden nodded slightly, not surprised.

No matter how outstanding Ye Jiang’s Talent was, it was absolutely impossible for him to injure a Star Talent.

Her earlier surprise and unexpectedness were both confined strictly within a normal range, like a monarch seeing an extremely excellent subject.

But a subject is forever a subject, and there is a fundamental difference from the monarch.

“Ye Jiang’s move, though astonishing, will also completely enrage Mo Yuan.”

“Mo Yuan is proud and arrogant by nature, he absolutely won’t let this go.” The Profound Celestial Maiden’s voice was calm. “What’s more, the Celestial Battle Civilization already had him marked as a target.”

“The ensuing pursuit will only grow more frenzied.”

“That Ye Jiang is most likely doomed.” The Profound Celestial Maiden lightly shook her head, white garments gently rippling, revealing a peerless figure.

“You still want to go help him?” Yue Wuji raised his brows slightly.

The Profound Celestial Maiden paused, then shook her head.

“I have already done all that righteousness and benevolence demand.”

“Since he chose to leave the main group on his own and still refuses to return, his life and death have nothing to do with me.” The Profound Celestial Maiden’s voice was indifferent, without the slightest emotion.

Yue Wuji nodded faintly.

He and the Profound Celestial Maiden were both people of the Moon Embracing Divine Hall; to go this far for someone from the Qiuqing Divine Hall was indeed already the limit of righteousness.

That Ye Jiang refused to appreciate it, relying on a bit of ability to roam alone.

If he is again intercepted by the Celestial Battle Civilization’s Star Talents and suffers Severe Injury or even falls, that will have nothing to do with them.

In the end, whether it was he or the Profound Celestial Maiden, for this sort of fellow who breaks away from the main group, they held little goodwill.

“Hmph!”

Just then, a cold snort came from the rear of the troop.

You Huang stood with his hands behind his back, gaze icy.

“He just doesn’t know what’s good for him.”

“If that Ye Jiang had stayed within the group, with us here, Mo Yuan wouldn’t dare act lightly.” You Huang snorted coldly. “Insisting on playing the hero—if he falls, he deserves it.”

Yue Wuji glanced at him and shook his head in amusement.

He knew well that You Huang held the Profound Celestial Maiden in extreme admiration, to the point of a kind of fanaticism; his sole goal was to make the Profound Celestial Maiden truly look at him once.

You Huang had seen the Profound Celestial Maiden value Ye Jiang so highly, while Ye Jiang in turn refused to appreciate it. Naturally, he harbored resentment.

“Forget it.”

“I only hope that Ye Jiang won’t regret his own decision.” Yue Wuji shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He had already invited the other party to return to the main force, but the other had refused.

What happens afterward has nothing to do with him.

…

The great Moon Embracing troop advanced through the Chaos.

With three Star Talents—Profound Celestial Maiden, Yue Wuji, and You Huang—sitting in town, the treasure grounds along the way were almost all monopolized by Moon Embracing.

Whenever any treasure light appeared, the other Divine Hall teams could only watch from afar, not daring to approach and vie.

The Marquis of the Blue Sky followed within the troop, expression calm.

His ranking was twentieth on the Earth List, making him a core genius of the Moon Embracing Divine Hall.

And with his grasp of the Chaos Law, he naturally ranked toward the front when resources were distributed.

He even received more than some Powerhouses ranked within the top ten of the Earth List.

“Blue Heaven King.”

A disciple of Moon Embracing walked over and handed him a storage pouch.

“These are the resources allotted to you this time.”

The Marquis of the Blue Sky took it and swept it with his Divine Thought.

Several top-grade Divine Crystals.

A large amount of Nine-Turn Divine Medicine.

“The harvest is good.” He nodded slightly and tucked the pouch away in his robe.

Although what he obtained in the Divine Pool was far from as outrageous as his main body, this harvest already far exceeded what he could gain by acting alone.

“Having a background really is better.”

The Marquis of the Blue Sky sighed inwardly.

If he were roaming alone, he would not only have to face the Celestial Battle Civilization’s pursuit but also contend with the other Divine Halls of Cai Kun for treasures.

Unlike now—following behind the great Moon Embracing troop, he did nothing, and resources were delivered to his door.

“However…”

“Once the main body breaks through, I should also leave the main force.” The Marquis of the Blue Sky mused inwardly.

He never forgot the greatest goal of this trip—the [Authority Dao Seed].

It can help Powerhouses of the Divine Body Realm and Divine Sea Realm touch the Authority Power ahead of time!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to be missed, and must be seized.

“Once the main body breaks through to the Peak of the Divine Body Realm.”

“It will surely participate in that level of contention.” The Marquis of the Blue Sky said to himself in his heart. “At that time, I must move and share the pressure for the main body.”

On the Celestial Battle Civilization’s side, they still regarded him as the “Blue Heaven King” and “Ye Jiang” as a completely different person.

If this can be properly exploited, it can produce many unexpected effects.

…

Outside the island, chaotic air currents surged.

Mo Yuan turned into a streak of black light, speeding through the void.

His expression was extremely gloomy.

Though the great battle had ended, that humiliation of being slapped flying by a single palm still clung to him like a maggot gnawing at the bone.

“Ye Jiang.”

“What a Ye Jiang.” Mo Yuan murmured the name, his voice as cold as chill seeping out from the depths of the Nine Nether.

In all the long years of his life and cultivation, he had never before been slapped into the ground by someone.

This shame must be washed away in blood.

Mo Yuan raised his hand, and a transmission Divine Talisman lit up in his palm.

“Ye Jiang has left Cai Kun’s main force and is heading deeper into the Chaos.”

He sent this message simultaneously to all the larger squads of the Celestial Battle Civilization.

Hong Yuan.

Lei Jun.

Wuyin.

And several Powerhouses ranked near the front of the New God List.

After the message was sent, Mo Yuan stowed away the Divine Talisman, his gaze icy.

Previously, he had looked down on Ye Jiang.

A Celestial Pride Talent ranked around fiftieth on the Earth List was simply not worth him personally taking action.

But now, he had completely withdrawn his contempt.
