"Master, are you certain?" Hei Tianjue asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. "Jiang Ye... he's only at the Early Fourth Breakthrough, yet he's already grasped the Spear Art Divine Resonance?"
"Yes," the deep voice confirmed.
"If my guess is correct," the voice continued, "he didn't comprehend it during the Fourth Breakthrough. He likely grasped it during the Third Breakthrough."
"Third Breakthrough?"
"Comprehended Divine Resonance?" Hei Tianjue was utterly stunned.
What kind of monstrous genius is this?
Most strong cultivators only begin to gradually perceive the laws of heaven and earth during the Seventh Breakthrough, attempting to understand and grasp Divine Resonance. Yet many, even after struggling through the Seventh to Ninth Breakthroughs, fail to capture even a trace of it.
Hei Tianjue considered himself a prodigious talent. Yet even he lacked the confidence to comprehend Divine Resonance before the Seventh Breakthrough, let alone the Third!
"Such a genius, if he doesn't perish prematurely," the deep voice said, "has a high probability of ascending to divinity in the future."
"Tianjue, unless you have absolute certainty of killing him, do not provoke him."
"Otherwise, you will draw a terrifying enemy upon our civilization," the voice warned gravely.
Hei Tianjue fell silent.
After a long pause, he replied, "I understand, Master," his voice solemn.
"Good," the deep voice chuckled. "Tianjue, you are the Black Abyss Civilization's most outstanding genius in recent years. I don't want you to suffer any losses."
"I understand," Hei Tianjue said. "If I encounter Jiang Ye, I will avoid him."
"Mm," the deep voice replied, offering no further explanation.
A moment later, the communication ended.
Hei Tianjue gazed into the distance, his eyes flickering with uncertain light.
"Absolute certainty?"
"Before, I didn't have it," Hei Tianjue murmured. "But Master, you likely don't know that I've mastered the seventh form of the Ultimate Spear Art."
"Combined with the five layers of Spear Dao Intent, I can single-handedly slay even a peak fourth-breakthrough cultivator!"
"Jiang Ye? No matter how strong he is, can he kill a peak fourth-breakthrough cultivator?"
Hei Tianjue had fought a peak fourth-breakthrough cultivator while still at the mid-stage of the fourth breakthrough—and emerged unscathed. He knew his current combat prowess intimately.
"Still, I can't be overconfident."
"If I truly encounter Jiang Ye..." A glint of shrewdness flashed in Hei Tianjue's eyes. "I'll test him with a single spear strike."
"If that fails, I'll withdraw immediately."
Confident but not arrogant.
This was Hei Tianjue's winning formula.
Even with absolute certainty, he would remain utterly cautious, lurking in the shadows until the perfect moment to unleash a fatal strike.
Most strong opponents who had faced Hei Tianjue were eliminated with a single spear thrust.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ye remained completely unaware of the outside world.
He sat cross-legged in the mountain cave, focused entirely on his cultivation.
Time flowed like water.
Seven days later, in the hidden cave, Jiang Ye sat cross-legged, his eyes tightly closed.
His life aura was completely withdrawn, emitting no outward pressure, yet he radiated a primal, overwhelming power—like facing an ancient beast.
Suddenly...
Whoosh!
Jiang Ye's eyes snapped open, a sharp glint flashing in his dark pupils.
"Seven days of secluded cultivation!"
"Finally over." Jiang Ye clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power surging within him.
Two days prior, Jiang Ye's life level had quietly broken through to the mid-stage fourth breakthrough.
For the next two days, he had relentlessly cultivated the True God Manual.
In just two days!
Jiang Ye's sea of consciousness had expanded to a radius of 1.5 meters. This was, of course, from a microscopic perspective; macroscopically, the sea of consciousness was merely a region behind his forehead.
In those two days, the sea of consciousness had grown by a staggering fifty percent.
Such rapid progress was simply astonishing.
"The Martial Fetus Holy Body is truly remarkable," Jiang Ye marveled sincerely.
If he still possessed his previous profound physique, even a ten percent improvement would have been nearly impossible, let alone fifty percent.
Of course, this fifty percent increase referred solely to the expansion of his sea of consciousness.
In terms of overall strength, the actual gains were far greater.
The expanded sea of consciousness not only meant a surge in mental force but also signified a significant leap in Jiang Ye's control and explosive potential with stellar energy.
"If I were to encounter that Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough expert again,"
"I'm confident I could defeat him in a single move," Jiang Ye thought to himself.
Jiang Ye's formidable strength bolstered his confidence.
He wasn't sure if he could yet match the invincible dao bone of a Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough cultivator.
But at least he was now confident he could escape unscathed.
"My life level has reached the mid-stage fourth breakthrough."
"The True God Manual can't be far off now," Jiang Ye said with a smile. "At my current cultivation speed, I should truly break through to the mid-stage within half a month."
Over the past week, Jiang Ye had felt himself growing stronger every moment.
This sensation was truly exhilarating.
The only regret was that he had completely exhausted both Fourth-Tier A-Grade Opportunities. Without these opportunities, his progress had slowed significantly.
"Once I leave the Star Realm Sea, the Great Stellar War will begin."
"I must reach the fifth breakthrough before then," Jiang Ye thought to himself. This would clearly be a difficult process.
Even with two Fourth-Tier A-Grade Opportunities, he had only reached the mid-stage fourth breakthrough.
This showed just how arduous cultivation in the fourth breakthrough was.
"I need more fourth-tier opportunities."
"Perfect."
"The opportunity at Purple Phoenix Mountain should have matured by now." Jiang Ye rose to his feet.
Jiang Ye gazed into the depths of the cave.
"Senior Sister!" he called out loudly. "We should get going."
"Coming!" a voice echoed from the depths of the cave.
But Liu Shishi didn't appear immediately.
Several seconds later, a figure shot out from the cave's depths with a fragrant breeze, heading straight for Jiang Ye.
It was Liu Shishi.
For the past few days, she had rarely disturbed Jiang Ye, both focusing on their individual cultivation.
"Junior Brother," she said, blinking at him with a playful smile. Her long, thick black hair cascaded down her back, framing her delicate features. It was clear she had taken extra care with her appearance.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Jiang Ye replied with a gentle smile. "Senior Sister, you look beautiful today."
"Really?" Liu Shishi's eyes lit up slightly as she instinctively reached up to smooth a stray strand of hair near her shoulder.
"Absolutely."
Jiang Ye didn't elaborate, simply smiling. "How's your recovery going?"
"I'm fully recovered now," Liu Shishi said with a smile. "Thanks to the opportunities you shared with me, I healed much faster than I expected."
"I'm glad you're back to full strength, Senior Sister," Jiang Ye said with a slight smile. "I'll need your help moving forward. Remember to stay close."
"You need me?" Liu Shishi blinked in surprise.
She was well aware of Jiang Ye's strength, which far surpassed her own.
Jiang Ye needs me? She would be content just not holding him back.
"Jiang Ye, you seem to have grown even stronger?" Liu Shishi couldn't help but remark, sensing the change.
"I've improved a little," Jiang Ye replied with a smile.
"Oh, okay," Liu Shishi nodded, not giving it much thought.
Ten days wouldn't be enough for significant progress.
"Let's go," Jiang Ye said. "To Purple Phoenix Mountain."
"Mm-hmm."
