Chapter 258 - Return!

Translator: CinderTL

Rumble...

A majestic aura, like a raging storm, surged from Jiang Ye's body, causing the entire mountaintop to tremble faintly.

Had any early or mid-stage third breakthrough experts been nearby, they would have felt their hearts pound at the sight of this invisible aura.

For this aura had clearly reached the standards of the late stage of the third breakthrough!

It represented a high-dimensional crushing of the life level for those in the early to mid stages of the third breakthrough.

"Over forty Low B-Tier Opportunities, more than ten Mid B-Tier Opportunities."

"Two Upper B-Tier Opportunities."

"The effects are indeed remarkable," Jiang Ye mused, observing himself. "In just one week, I've advanced two minor realms."

The most significant contributions came from those two Upper B-Tier Opportunities.

Though only two in number, their combined effect was comparable to dozens of Mid and Low B-Tier Opportunities.

"The gains from this journey to the ancient star are truly unimaginable," Jiang Ye said with a smile as he rose, slowly retracting his aura.

On all of Ancient Star No. 7, it was likely no one had reaped greater rewards than Jiang Ye.

After all, for most who entered Upper B-Tier Opportunities, advancing even one minor realm was considered a remarkable achievement.

Even Shi Ting, with her A-tier profound physique, hadn't managed to break through to the third breakthrough.

And Jiang Ye? He had not only advanced a major realm but also two minor realms.

Still, it's only natural.

"For most people, even obtaining a single Mid B-Tier opportunity on Ancient Star No. 7 is a rare feat," Jiang Ye mused. "Shi Ting only acquired one or two."

"And me?"

"I obtained three Upper B-Tier opportunities. If you count the black lump my senior sister gave me, that's four." Jiang Ye shook his head with a wry smile.

Shi Ting, as an A-tier profound physique user, was by no means weak.

In the Fire Ember Civilization, she would have been close to meeting the standard for a "Fallen Star-Level Genius."

It was only because Jiang Ye was so extraordinary that Shi Ting seemed so underwhelming in comparison.

"The opportunities I obtained account for nearly a third of the entire Ancient Star No. 7."

"It's a pity my clone's strength is insufficient," Jiang Ye thought. "If I could have seized all the opportunities, I might be at the peak of the third breakthrough right now."

"Still, the late stage of the third breakthrough is more than enough."

"The journey on Ancient Star No. 7 has come to a perfect conclusion." Jiang Ye glanced at his status panel.

[White Dragon True God Manual (Upper Volume): Uninitiated (55%)]

[Luoshen Spear: Entry (15%)]

He hadn't spent the entire month refining the opportunity.

The True God Manual and Luoshen Spear had both improved by 5%.

"My strength..." Jiang Ye suddenly felt a restless urge.

A flash of light emanated from his hand.

Whoosh! A massive, pitch-black spear materialized.

Grasping the long spear, Jiang Ye unleashed a torrent of stellar energy from within his body, channeling it all into the weapon.

Swish!

He swept the spear horizontally.

An astonishing spear-light streaked across the sky, striking a mountain peak hundreds of meters away with devastating force.

Boom! The sound of an avalanche erupted.

In the next instant, the mountain peak, a hundred meters in diameter, was as if sliced horizontally by a colossal blade. The entire peak was instantly displaced.

Then—

Bang! The mountain exploded into dust. Countless rocks and trees disintegrated into powder, and a terrifying shockwave of energy surged outward.

One strike!

Mountain-shattering power!

Yet Jiang Ye's expression was puzzled.

"This destructive power... it doesn't feel right," he mused. "Even when I first reached the third breakthrough, I could achieve this easily."

Suddenly—

Jiang Ye looked up in realization. "Almost forgot—there's a realm suppression on Ancient Star No. 7."

Within Ancient Star No. 7, all cultivators, regardless of their actual realm, were suppressed to the early stage of the third breakthrough at most.

Realizing this, Jiang Ye immediately felt at ease.

He didn't care.

After all...

"I'm probably not truly in the late stage of the third breakthrough yet," Jiang Ye mused. "At least, my True God Manual hasn't broken through."

"The True God Manual should reach 60% completion to be considered the late stage of the third breakthrough."

This was Jiang Ye's estimation:

50% completion of the True God Manual marked the third breakthrough.

60% completion marked the late stage of the third breakthrough.

70% completion marked the peak of the third breakthrough.

80% completion marked the fourth breakthrough.

When the progress reached 100% and completed the Entry stage, it would be roughly equivalent to the mid-stage of the fourth breakthrough to the fifth breakthrough.

It was truly astonishing.

A cultivation technique that, upon Entry, granted power equivalent to the fifth breakthrough?

Truly worthy of the title "third-tier civilization inheritance."

"Time to return," Jiang Ye thought. "I've been here for a month and a half. I wonder how the school is doing."

Whoosh!

Jiang Ye's figure blurred into a streak of light, soaring into the distance.

This time, he didn't wear his battle armor.

"After the third breakthrough, I'm now capable of flying and burrowing through the earth," Jiang Ye said, feeling the immense power surging within him. "Refined by stellar energy, my physical body has undergone transcendent transformations, granting me extraordinary abilities."

"Even without my Cosmic Battle Armor, I can easily break the 300 meters per second barrier in flight."

And with the armor?

Whoosh!

Countless liquid-like metallic particles surged from Jiang Ye's battle armor wristband, rapidly enveloping his entire body.

In an instant.

Zip!

Jiang Ye's speed surged from 300 meters per second to 800 meters per second, transforming him into an arrow of light, moving at an almost unbelievable pace.

Within minutes, he reached the Cosmic Void Passage leading to Blue Star.

Whoosh!

Stepping into the passage, Jiang Ye vanished instantly amidst an invisible ripple.

Donghai Province, Extreme Sea Star System Cosmic Passage.

The quiet passage suddenly trembled slightly, followed by a surge of light.

Whoosh!

A figure emerged from the multicolored passage—a tall, upright figure holding a long spear.

He flew out of the Cosmic Void Passage and landed lightly on the ground.

"Finally."

"I'm back." Jiang Ye gazed at the familiar land beneath his feet. "Blue Star is still the most comfortable. No matter how long I adapt to alien worlds, I always feel uneasy."

Standing on this land gave him an indescribable sense of security.

Suddenly, a voice called out, "Jiang Ye."

"Teacher?" Jiang Ye looked up, his eyes widening in surprise. "You've been here all along?"

The newcomer was Qiu Cang.

Beside him stood a yellow-robed elder.

"I come to check on things from time to time," Qiu Cang said with a smile. "Just happened to be here today."

"This is Professor Huang from Starry Sky University," Qiu Cang introduced.

"Greetings, Professor Huang," Jiang Ye said, cupping his hands in a formal salute.

"Hello," Huang Canglong said with a hearty laugh. "Truly a man of outstanding talent. No wonder Old Qiu treasures you so much."

"You're too kind, Elder Huang," Jiang Ye replied with a smile.

Qiu Cang paid no attention to the pleasantries.

"Jiang Ye," he continued, "you spent over a month in the Extreme Sea Star System. You must have gained quite a lot, right?" he asked with a smile.

"A good harvest?"

"Indeed, it's quite substantial." Jiang Ye smiled, making no effort to conceal his satisfaction.

His aura surged forth, uninhibited and overwhelming.

Boom!!

This time, Jiang Ye's aura exploded, growing several times more potent than it had been on the ancient star.

"Hmm?" Qiu Cang froze, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Late stage of the third breakthrough?" Qiu Cang's voice trembled with shock.

He hadn't visited this place much since escorting Chen Zilu home. With Jiang Ye's strength now sufficient to dominate everyone on Ancient Star No. 7, Qiu Cang no longer worried about his safety.

His last visit had been two weeks prior.

"Two weeks ago, this kid had just entered the third breakthrough, right?"

"In just two weeks..." Qiu Cang's mind reeled. "He's already at the late stage of the third breakthrough!?"

Even with cheats, this is too much!

How is this even possible?!
