"The Martial Fetus Holy Body greatly enhances my control over stellar energy and Divine Resonance," Jiang Ye mused inwardly.
The Martial Fetus Holy Body was truly formidable.
And this was only at the first stage.
If it reached the second stage, or even higher? It would only become more powerful.
"But this still isn't enough."
"If I encounter an invincible dao bone, I might not be able to win," Jiang Ye thought to himself.
Even among invincible dao bones, there were vast differences in strength.
Hei Ming, Dong Huang, and Yan Yi all possessed invincible dao bones.
Yet the gap between Hei Ming and Dong Huang was at least fivefold, and the disparity with Yan Yi was even greater.
"I wonder if this region..."
"Has any invincible dao bone prodigies on Yan Yi's level?" Jiang Ye pondered.
Jiang Ye always preferred to prepare for the worst.
What if he encountered a Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough opponent on Yan Yi's level?
Unless he could replicate the previous scenario—having hundreds of cannon fodder for him to slaughter like chopping vegetables, allowing him to gain an absurdly rapid boost in power—victory would be exceedingly difficult.
But such a scenario was unrealistic. Even if the Third Star Ring had enough people, a Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough opponent would never allow Jiang Ye to rampage freely.
"I need to break through to the mid-stage fourth breakthrough as soon as possible."
"Or perhaps... I can achieve another breakthrough in my spearmanship," Jiang Ye resolved, setting a new goal for himself.
Moments later, Jiang Ye opened his personal ranking projection.
Unexpectedly, lines of text scrolled across the screen:
You have entered the Third Star Ring, Area 4001.
Find the 'civilization fireseeds' scattered throughout Area 4001 and collect as many as possible to gain entry to the Divine Temple.
The civilization temple will open in 99 days and 23 hours.
Jiang Ye realized he hadn't even checked the rules after entering the Third Star Ring.
"Civilization fireseeds?"
"What are those?" Jiang Ye murmured, slightly taken aback.
Previously, the objective had been to collect civilization keys. But this time, the situation had changed.
"Civilization fireseeds?" Bai Gui's voice suddenly rang out, tinged with surprise.
"Senior Bai Gui, what's wrong?" Jiang Ye detected the unusual tone in her voice.
"Nothing," Bai Gui replied, shaking her head. "Let's just hope they're not what I think they are."
Jiang Ye was immediately intrigued.
He couldn't resist asking, "You mean the civilization fireseeds? Is there something wrong with them?"
"I'm not entirely sure either," Bai Gui said. "You'll have to see for yourself when you encounter them."
"Alright," Jiang Ye nodded.
Whoosh! The map projection opened.
The map of Area 4001 was significantly larger than the one from the Second Star Ring, at least ten times the diameter.
Hundreds of red dots were evenly distributed across this vast map, marking each region.
"Civilization fireseeds? Opportunity zones?" Jiang Ye observed. The map indicated the maturity times for each zone but didn't reveal the specific opportunities within.
"According to the rules," Jiang Ye mused, "only by collecting enough civilization fireseeds can we enter the Divine Temple?"
Civilization fireseeds were the key to accessing the Divine Temple.
He needed to gather as many as possible.
"I wonder if the Stowaway's ability will allow me to bypass the temple's requirements," Jiang Ye pondered.
Unfortunately, the Divine Temple wouldn't open for another three months, leaving him no chance to test his theory.
"For now, it's best to stick to the Star Realm Sea's rules," he decided.
"Seek the civilization fireseed," Jiang Ye said, his gaze fixed on the map.
The civilization fireseed was hidden among the hundreds of opportunity zones.
But the map didn't reveal their locations.
He would have to explore each one individually.
"Most of the opportunities haven't matured yet," Jiang Ye thought. "And the ones that have are too far away. By the time I reach them, they'll likely be taken."
With that thought, Jiang Ye closed the map.
"The closest opportunity zone to me, Purple Phoenix Mountain, will mature in ten days."
"These ten days..."
"I'll strive for another breakthrough," Jiang Ye resolved. "If I can reach the mid-stage fourth breakthrough sooner, I'll have a better chance."
To enter the Divine Temple, he needed to seize the civilization fireseed!
To seize the opportunities!
This would inevitably lead to clashes with those possessing invincible dao bones.
Suddenly, Jiang Ye remembered something.
"Now that I've broken through to the fourth breakthrough, why not try entering the sixth layer of the Martial Dao Heavenly Ladder?"
The Martial Dao Heavenly Ladder! That was the greatest opportunity for advancement.
With this realization,
Jiang Ye immediately closed his eyes slowly.
Martial Dao Heavenly Ladder, enter!
As Jiang Ye entered the Martial Dao Heavenly Ladder...
In the Heavenly Fire Civilization, on the planet Heavenly Fire Star, a colossal, resplendent palace floated in the sky, radiating a scorching light like a crimson sun, its brilliance illuminating the boundless lands below.
Inside the palace, Yan Sheng was conversing with another powerful middle-aged man, his aura as fiery as his temperament.
"Yan Sheng, you nearly made a grave mistake this time," the fiery middle-aged man chuckled. "Dong Huang and the others were all outstanding dao bone geniuses of our Heavenly Fire Civilization. Now that they've all perished, Lord Dongbo is deeply displeased."
"Are you here to mock me?" Yan Sheng's face darkened.
The man before him was his longtime rival. Within the Heavenly Fire Civilization, their respective factions were locked in constant competition.
"Lord Dongbo sent me," the fiery middle-aged man said with a smile, a hint of mockery in his eyes. With the Divine's backing, he had no fear of Yan Sheng's wrath.
As expected, Yan Sheng's expression grew even more grim.
"How could I have known that Blue Star genius would be so formidable?" he snarled. "He single-handedly slaughtered hundreds of dao bone prodigies!"
"With such power, even Yan Yi might not be his match," Yan Sheng said coldly.
Even from his perspective, it was utterly inconceivable.
"Forget it," the fiery middle-aged strongman said, shaking his head. "According to Lord Dongbo, that Blue Star genius has likely already been noticed by the Cangxu Civilization."
"He'll most likely be sent directly to the Divine Temple, becoming a part of the Cangxu Civilization."
"I came here to warn you: stop scheming against him," the fiery middle-aged strongman said with a faint smile.
Seeing his old rival humiliated still brought him a measure of satisfaction.
"Hmph!"
"Of course I know all this," Yan Sheng scoffed, though his heart was filled with dread.
He had indeed harbored thoughts of targeting Jiang Ye in the past.
But now? The matter would likely have to be dropped.
Just then...
Buzz! The fiery middle-aged strongman's communicator vibrated, his expression shifting.
"Is that Lord Dongbo?" the strongman turned and answered the call.
A moment later, he hung up and looked back at Yan Sheng.
"Yan Sheng, the situation has changed."
"That Blue Star genius seems to have rejected the Cangxu Civilization's recruitment offer," the fiery middle-aged strongman said. "Moreover, he's headed to the Fourth Breakthrough Zone of the Star Realm Sea."
"What? He refused?" Yan Sheng's expression turned surprised.
But immediately after, he asked, "What did you say? Jiang Ye went to the Fourth Breakthrough Zone?"
"Isn't your daughter, Gu Li, in the Fourth Breakthrough Zone?" Yan Sheng glanced at the fiery strongman, a playful smile creeping onto his face.
The fiery strongman, named Gu Yuan, was Gu Li's father.
"Don't worry," Gu Yuan said with a confident smile. "That girl Gu Li is already at the Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough. If she encounters Jiang Ye, she's absolutely certain to kill him."
Yan Sheng shook his head. "In my opinion, you should advise her not to provoke Jiang Ye. What if she stirs up trouble?"
"You don't need to worry about that," Gu Yuan replied dismissively. "Do you think I don't know my own daughter? Her strength is far beyond the likes of Dong Huang. Besides, now that the Blue Star genius has rejected the Cangxu Civilization's invitation, we don't need to fear the consequences of killing him."
Gu Yuan's confidence was palpable. If his daughter could kill Jiang Ye, he would have another chance to boast to Yan Sheng.
The thought filled Gu Yuan with anticipation.
