My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 201 Cultivating the True God's Scripture (Three-in-One)

"Cough cough."

"I was just joking." Jiang Ye laughed when he saw Chen Zilu's appearance. "Actually, I've wanted to become Master Qiu's disciple for a long time. Even if you didn't ask, I was ready."

"of course."

“Since my senior sister has come to ask, there’s even less reason for me to refuse.” Jiang Ye said earnestly, “I can’t do anything that would hurt my senior sister.”

Chen Zilu glanced at him for no apparent reason.

Then she looked away and hummed softly.

"You're pretty good at flirting with girls," Chen Zilu scoffed. "And you said you couldn't talk to anyone?"

"Is telling the truth considered teasing girls?" Jiang Ye laughed.

Chen Zilu glanced at him: "Really?"

"real."

"Fine, if you ever make me sad again, then you're a liar," Chen Zilu snorted.

"Okay." Jiang Ye smiled.

Chen Zilu did not continue the topic.

"Actually, it was Elder Qiu who asked me to come find you," she confessed. "But you're not a student at Bailong University, so I think it's a bit early for you to become an apprentice now."

"Then why did Elder Qiu do that?" Jiang Ye asked, puzzled.

"I don't know." Chen Zilu shook her head gently: "Maybe the teacher has his own ideas."

"Mm." Jiang Ye nodded.

He didn't say much, knowing he would know the answer when he met Old Qiu.

suddenly.

Jiang Ye remembered something and took out the jade, saying, "Senior Sister, how do you use this Enlightenment Jade? I haven't felt much of an effect these past few days."

"How do you use it?" Chen Zilu asked him curiously.

“Just wear it on your body,” Jiang Ye said.

"You idiot."

"Wearing it on your body obviously won't have any effect," Chen Zilu said speechlessly. "Haven't you ever used the Enlightenment Bodhi?"

"Enlightenment to Bodhi?" Jiang Ye was taken aback, then shook his head.

“The Enlightenment Jade and the Enlightenment Bodhi are used in the same way; just put them in your mouth,” Chen Zilu said.

Jiang Ye looked surprised.

Hold it in your mouth?

"Why are you panicking? I've never used it before."

Chen Zilu rolled her eyes at him and explained, "The Enlightenment Jade can help you break through major bottlenecks. You'll know once you go back and try it."

"Breakthrough a major bottleneck?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

He had never heard of anything that could help people break through major bottlenecks.

According to Professor Zhu Honglie, major bottlenecks can only be overcome by oneself.

Even Qiu Zang said something similar.

This Enlightenment Jade can actually help him break through a major bottleneck? What's its origin?
"Senior sister," Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask, "This thing must be very expensive, right?"

"It's not expensive," Chen Zilu said casually. "You can use it without worry."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister."

moment.

Jiang Ye bid farewell to Chen Zilu and returned the way he came.

"That girl just now had a very special constitution." A clear, cold voice suddenly rang in Jiang Ye's mind.

"Senior Bai Gui?" Jiang Ye was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "What's so special about him?"

“I sensed it.”

“She possesses a special power that doesn’t come from innate talent,” Bai Guiqing said coldly. “It’s more like some kind of special divine power.”

"Divine power?" Jiang Ye exclaimed in surprise.

Divine power—isn't that something only those in the 'God' realm possess?
How can it be?

"It's not the kind of divine power you're imagining."

“If my intuition is correct,” Bai Gui explained, “that girl should be suffering from an extremely rare condition called ‘God-Eating Syndrome’.”

"This kind of physique is extremely rare even among Level 3 interstellar civilizations."

Jiang Ye was taken aback; this name didn't sound like a good one.

"The most prominent characteristic of the Soul Devouring Syndrome," Bai Gui said, "is that every time you cultivate, your soul is gnawed away, causing excruciating pain."

"From the moment it breaks through, the pain is equivalent to dozens of times that of the original primary starry sky refinement."

“The higher the cultivation level, the deeper this pain will gradually become,” Bai Gui explained. “Now, every time she uses her internal energy, she is enduring thousands of times more pain than during the initial refinement.”

Jiang Ye was somewhat bewildered.

"No way?"

"Senior sister?" Jiang Ye was somewhat incredulous. How did she manage to persevere?
Thousands of times more painful than the original refining process.

Even he couldn't have persisted.

“Even in the original White Dragon Civilization, it was very difficult for those with the Soul Devouring Syndrome to embark on the path of cultivation. This is related to the soul and is an incurable disease.”

"but."

“This disease has an advantage,” Bai Gui suddenly said. “As the soul is constantly being devoured and reorganized, if one can persevere, one can actually break through the limits of one’s talent.”

"Therefore, those who truly persevere with the Soul Eater syndrome are usually extremely powerful."

“In the White Dragon Civilization, there was once a powerful figure who was close to a true god, suffering from God-devouring Syndrome,” Bai Gui said earnestly.

“Approaching true god.” Jiang Ye glanced in the direction Chen Zilu had left.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little sorry for his senior sister.

Even if the other person has gotten used to that kind of pain now.

But what about when I was a child, when I first started practicing?

How did she get through it?

As Bai Gui said, even a Level 3 civilization could not solve this suffering and regarded the God-Eating Syndrome as a 'useless body'.

As a daughter of a prominent family, Chen Zilu could have lived a comfortable life even without pursuing martial arts.

What made her grit her teeth and endure that pain to get to where she is today?
When Jiang Ye returned to the training room on the 108th floor, he found that all his fellow disciples had disappeared.

Only one old man in black robes remained, sitting cross-legged in the center of the training room, his body four feet off the ground, suspended in mid-air.

"Teacher Qiu."

Jiang Ye stepped forward and bowed slightly.

Qiu Cang slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "Jiang Ye, you're back."

"Hmm." Jiang Ye hesitated for two seconds before getting straight to the point: "My senior sister told me about it."

"Oh?"

Qiu Zang seemed surprised by his directness, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

But soon.

"Then would you be willing to become my disciple?" Qiu Cang asked Jiang Ye with a smile.

"I am willing," Jiang Ye said, cupping his hands in greeting. "But I am not a student of Bailong University. Would it be inappropriate for me to become your disciple?"

"It doesn't matter."

"If you can win the championship in the Twenty-Five Schools Genius Cup two months from now," Qiu Zang said, "I will recommend you to the principal and see if he can make an exception and accept you."

Jiang Ye looked up, his eyes filled with surprise.

He knew about Bai Long's requirements for transferring schools.

The conditions are extremely demanding.

You must achieve four breakthroughs within two years to meet the transfer criteria.

The championship of the 25 Schools Genius Cup alone seems far from meeting this requirement, doesn't it?
"Of course." Qiu Zang seemed to know what he was thinking and said with a smile, "I can't guarantee success. I can only say that I will do my best."

"It also depends on your performance in the Genius Cup."

“If your performance is exceptionally good and you can crush the other competitors,” Qiu Zang said with a smile, “I will be more confident when I recommend you to the principal.”

"Understood." Jiang Ye nodded.

Each year's Genius Cup champion is different.

Some teams won by overwhelming force, some by narrow victory, and some by a Pyrrhic victory.

Different ways of winning a championship represent different potential and strength.

"In this Genius Cup, Xinghe University and Beiyu University, two of the top ten universities, will send students to participate," Qiu Zang said. "These two schools have quite a few geniuses, so you should be careful."

"Star River University and Northern Region University?" Jiang Ye's expression shifted.

These two universities rank seventh and ninth respectively among the top ten.

The latter is easier to deal with.

However, Xinghe University, ranked seventh, is far stronger than Penglai University.

"Star River University is also participating in this Genius Cup?" Jiang Ye asked, somewhat surprised.

In previous editions of the 25 Schools Genius Cup, only the bottom two schools from the top ten would participate.

But this time, something seems different?

"The Federation has increased its focus on the Genius Cup."

"So we arranged for stronger schools to participate," Qiu Zang said calmly. "Similarly, the rewards will be even more generous."

"I see." Jiang Ye nodded.

The All-Star Battle and the Twenty-Five Schools Genius Cup were both spearheaded by the Federation.

Otherwise, its value wouldn't be so high.

"in addition."

"The Genius Cup is also your only way to participate in the All-Star Battle," Qiu Zang added. "Only the top ten in the Genius Cup can qualify for the All-Star Battle."

"Remember, the Genius Cup is not your end, but your beginning."

"Only by achieving a ranking in the All-Star Battle can you be considered to have truly embarked on the path of the strong," Qiu Zang said solemnly.

"The path to becoming a strongman?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask.

"More than half of those who can make a name for themselves in the Battle of the Stars can reach the seventh level of breakthrough," Qiu Zang said. "Of those, one in ten can reach above the seventh level of breakthrough."

Next.

Qiu Zang then introduced some details about the 'Genius Cup' and the 'Battle of the Stars'.

"In short, these things are not far from you," Qiu Cang said with a smile. "But for you, it has to start with winning the Genius Cup, otherwise nothing can be discussed."

"Understood." Jiang Ye nodded.

Genius Cup champion?
In fact, even without Qiu Zang saying all this, he had already made up his mind long ago.

Only by making a name for himself in the 25 Schools Genius Cup and gaining more recognition can Jiang Ye continue to improve his talent!
This is crucial for Jiang Ye.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Ye immediately stopped hesitating.

"Disciple Jiang Ye."

"Greetings, teacher!" Jiang Ye Chao Qiu Zang bowed respectfully.

"Hmm." Qiu Zang smiled as he looked at him, waiting for him to finish the apprenticeship ceremony.

soon.

Jiang Ye got up from the ground.

"Good disciple," Qiu Zang smiled and said, "This is a gift from your master to you upon your acceptance into the family."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand over.

"Buzz!" A luminous blue jade appeared.

"What is this?" Jiang Ye took the blue jade, his heart stirred.

"This is the [Enlightenment Jade], which can help you increase your cultivation speed," Qiu Cang said with a smile.

Jiang Ye was taken aback. Enlightenment on a rough gem?

"Hehe, don't be fooled by the name 'Puyu' (meaning 'uncut jade')."

Qiu Zang laughed and said, "Actually, it is not jade, but a very special divine object for enlightenment."

"A divine object for enlightenment?" Jiang Ye learned another term.

But this name seems somewhat similar to the 'Enlightenment Jade' that Chen Zilu gave him?

"The Enlightenment Divine Object is a substance that has been tainted with a trace of 'divinity'."

“Extremely precious.”

“It’s usually available but priceless,” Qiu Zang explained. “The reason is that it can help you break through minor bottlenecks and even increase your cultivation speed by more than 30%.”

"Of course."

"Actually, there is something even more exaggerated than the Enlightenment Jade, called the Enlightenment Divine Jade."

"It is said that it can help people break through major bottlenecks," Qiu Zanggang said.

suddenly.

Jiang Ye took out the jade from his pocket and asked curiously, "Teacher, is this what you're talking about?"

"."

A flicker of shock crossed Qiu Zang's eyes, but he calmly asked, "That's right. Where did you get it?"

"It was a gift from my senior sister," Jiang Ye said truthfully.

"You mean Chen Zilu?" Qiu Cang asked, puzzled.

“Yes,” Jiang Ye said.

Qiu Zang nodded calmly.

"That girl, Xiao Chen, actually gave this thing to this kid?"

"This is something she risked half her life to obtain, right?" Qiu Cang was shocked: "The unpolished jade of enlightenment is already priceless."

"The Enlightenment Jade is a million times more precious than the Enlightenment Jade. Even extraordinary families fight tooth and nail for it. It is an unparalleled treasure."

"That girl almost lost her life during that training trip because of this item."

"You just gave it to him like that? Why should you?"

A series of thoughts flashed through Qiu Zang's mind.

suddenly.

"Is it because this kid gave her a necklace?" Qiu Cang suddenly remembered something. "That thing is worth at most a million, right?"

"That silly girl, has she gone mad?"

Looking at Jiang Ye again, he said with a serious expression, "You must keep the Enlightenment Jade that your senior sister gave you carefully and do not show it to others easily."

"Yes," Jiang Ye quickly replied.

He felt a chill run down his spine. Judging from his teacher's tone, this Enlightenment Jade seemed to be even more precious than he had imagined.
Jiang Ye glanced at the jade in his hand and couldn't help but clench it tightly.

suddenly.

He recalled what Bai Gui had mentioned about 'God-Devouring Syndrome'. "Teacher," Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask, "Is Senior Sister facing any difficulties in her cultivation?"

"Ok?"

Qiu Zang glanced at him in surprise.

"This kid isn't an ingrate after all," Qiu Zang thought to himself. "Xiao Chen treats him so well, and he at least knows how to care about his senior sister."

He looked at Jiang Ye again.

"Your senior sister needs to use the Extreme Sea Essence for her cultivation."

“This stuff is extremely beneficial to her,” Qiu Zang said. “One of the rewards for winning the Twenty-Five Schools Genius Cup is the Extreme Sea Essence.”

"If you want to thank Chen Zilu, you can give it to her later," Qiu Cang said with a smile.

"Understood." Jiang Ye nodded.

Another reason why we must win the championship has been added.

"The Twenty-Five Schools Genius Cup!" Jiang Ye's eyes burned with fervor: "We must win it."

Afterwards, Qiu Zang gave some more instructions and then drifted away.

Jiang Ye then went to the 109th floor and into a private training room.

—After becoming Qiu Zang's apprentice, he gained access to his own training room.

Of course, that's all.

Because of his student status, his living arrangements at Hakuryu University will be quite troublesome after today.

"We'll talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."

"Right now, let's cultivate the 'White Dragon True God Scripture'." Jiang Ye sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

A lineage of inheritance appeared in his mind.

The White Dragon True God Scripture is an unparalleled secret scripture that leads directly to the realm of 'True God'.

However, currently only the first to ninth breakthroughs are unlocked.

Further up, it was blocked off.

According to Bai Gui's explanation, this was something her master did intentionally back then. If even the Nine Breakthroughs couldn't be achieved, how could one possibly reach the Divine Realm later on?

Once Jiang Ye reaches the Ninth Breakthrough, the subsequent secret manuals will also be unlocked.

"This is probably to prevent the inheritor from leaking the True God Scripture, right?" Jiang Ye secretly guessed.

The most precious part of the White Dragon True God Scripture is undoubtedly the realms that follow the Nine Breakthroughs.

If there were only one to nine breakthroughs, it wouldn't seem so exaggerated.

"Let's cultivate first." Jiang Ye calmed his mind and focused his spirit.

"If I can master the True God Scripture before the Genius Cup arrives, my strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds."

How powerful are the cultivation manuals of a Level 3 civilization?

Even the highest-grade Heaven-rank cultivation techniques are far inferior.

Even if Jiang Ye only grasps the slightest bit of it, it will likely bring about tremendous changes.

"let's start."

“Reshape the Guanyuan point according to the movement route.”

Jiang Ye slowly circulated his cultivation technique, and soon he discovered the terrifying nature of this "White Dragon True God Scripture".

With his current superior-grade Xuan Body, it wouldn't be difficult for him to learn any cultivation technique.

Even for beginner-level Heavenly Rank techniques, it's definitely not difficult.

but now?
When Jiang Ye first began cultivating this third-level civilization inheritance manual, he felt immense resistance.

This feeling.

It was as if there was a giant wall made of steel in front of him, and he was trying to dig it down, drop by drop, like water dripping on stone.

The efficiency is incredibly slow.

"Although it's very slow."

"But I can sense the profound mystery of this technique." Jiang Ye continued to circulate his energy.

Wow~
Whoosh! A vast surge of energy was born from his body.

It began to slowly modify the Guanyuan acupoint.

During cultivation, one cannot perceive the passage of time.

Jiang Ye woke up from his daze.

It was already six hours later.

【White Dragon True God Scripture (Part 1): Beginner's Guide (0%)】

"hehe."

Jiang Ye looked at the panel and couldn't help but laugh.

He anticipated that the improvement rate would be very slow.

It was surprisingly slow, which was quite unexpected.

"Now you know why I haven't opened up other secret texts to you, right?" Bai Gui's voice rang out.

A cold, aloof figure in white robes, carrying a sword, appeared.

“Senior Bai Gui,” Jiang Ye sighed, “this True God Scripture is indeed more difficult than I had imagined.”

He knew what Bai Gui meant.

It takes a lot of effort just to master this one technique.

Should I cultivate anything else? I'm willing but unable.

"In fact, among the three levels of the White Dragon True God Scripture, from the first to the ninth breakthrough, the difficulty is relatively easy," Bai Guiqing said coldly.

"What?"

"Easier???" Jiang Ye looked astonished.

With such terrifying difficulty, it's actually considered relatively easy?

"The White Dragon True God Scripture, from the first to the ninth breakthrough stage of cultivation, does not have much of a mystical aspect."

"Because the real core part," Bai Gui explained, "lies in the stage of becoming a cosmic god after reaching the ninth breakthrough."

"Only then will its fame gradually become apparent."

“Of course, it’s not that breaking through from one to nine is bad,” Bai Gui added, “it’s just that compared to other level three civilization techniques, it’s not as sharp.”

"So, before the Nine Breakthroughs, it was all about laying the foundation?" Jiang Ye pondered.

"Not bad." Bai Gui nodded slightly.

Eno Akigo.

In other words, the cultivation cycle of cultivators in the White Dragon Civilization is rather long!
Only after developing to the ninth breakthrough can one possess an invincible appearance.

"its not right."

"Since the first nine breakthroughs are so easy," Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask, "then why is my cultivation still so difficult?"

“What I just said is relative to third-level civilization cultivation techniques,” Bai Gui said. “But if you want to compare it with heaven-level cultivation techniques, then it is naturally far superior to the latter.”

So don't be discouraged.

“The core inheritance of a Level 3 civilization is several levels higher than a top-tier Heavenly Rank inheritance,” Bai Guiqing said coldly. “It’s normal that it’s difficult to improve.”

Jiang Ye nodded.

I'm finally at peace.

"Based on the rank of the True God Scripture," Jiang Ye guessed, "even reaching the entry level would probably be equivalent to the fourth or even fifth breakthrough, right?"

Thinking about it that way, he realized it made sense.

If the improvement is too rapid, then he will have to doubt the authenticity of the manual.

"Don't you have the Enlightenment Jade?" Bai Gui suddenly reminded him, "Why don't you give it a try?"

"Correct."

"Enlightenment Jade." Jiang Ye took out the jade, his eyes filled with anticipation.

next moment.

He opened his mouth and took it in.

"Huh?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

At first, he didn't sense anything unusual.

But a few seconds later, a strange sensation filled his mouth and spread throughout his body.

"This is... divine matter?" Jiang Ye realized.

There is a kind of mysterious energy permeating my whole body.

In the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ye seemed to be enveloped in a ray of light.

Of course, from the outside, there was nothing unusual about it.

But from Jiang Ye's perspective, he suddenly entered a state of unparalleled clarity.

This state of mind is hard to describe.

If I had to describe it in words, it would be the flash of inspiration that crossed Jiang Ye's mind when he saw that 'white-dressed figure' during the creation assessment of the fourth level of the Martial Arts Ladder.

At that moment, a similar flash of inspiration seemed to pass through his mind.

"Cultivate." Jiang Ye dared not be negligent.

Quickly begin circulating the cultivation technique.

With a clear and tranquil mind, Jiang Ye quickly immersed himself in cultivation.

Just as Jiang Ye entered a state of cultivation.

Inside a silver-white star-shaped building.

meeting room.

"Click~" The door opened, and Qiu Zang strode in.

"Old Qiu." Zhu Honglie stood up in the conference room and said with a smile, "So, has that kid agreed to become your apprentice?"

"If I personally take charge, how could he possibly disagree?"

Qiu Cang snorted, "I've already told him about the Genius Cup. Now, let's see how he performs."

"That kid won't disappoint," Zhu Honglie said with a smile.

Although he only served as Jiang Ye's teacher for a little over half a year.

But for Zhu Honglie, Jiang Ye was the best student he had ever taught.

"That kid is indeed quite surprising."

Qiu Zang did not deny it, saying, "Let him stay at Penglai University for the next two months to avoid him having to travel back and forth."

"Back to Penglai?" Zhu Honglie frowned and said, "Jiang Ye needs to make a run for the Genius Cup during this time, it would be better if you led him."

With his teaching skills, he is more than capable of mentoring students like Shen Changxi and Liu Wanxiao.

But to produce a Genius Cup champion? That's very difficult.

About that.

Zhu Honglie has a very clear self-awareness.

"It wouldn't make any difference if I took over," Qiu Zang shook his head. "In my style, would sending him on a life-or-death adventure once a month be enough?"

"Definitely not."

"If anything goes wrong, it will delay the Genius Cup."

“So this period of time is for him to settle down,” Qiu Zang said. “Xiao Chen gave him a piece of Enlightenment Jade, which is enough for him to make great progress.”

"The Enlightenment Divine Jade?" Zhu Honglie was suddenly startled.

He was also well aware of the value of this thing.

It cannot be measured by value!

The 'divine' in the Enlightenment Jade represents divine matter.

This substance is extremely rare.

This rare treasure, capable of helping people break through major bottlenecks, is highly valued even by extraordinary families.

"That girl Chen Zilu is so good to him?" Zhu Honglie asked in surprise, "Isn't that a bit much?"

"I remember that she almost died during her previous training because of this thing, and her failure in the subsequent trials was also largely due to that training."

"Such a precious thing."

"She gave it to Jiang Ye?" Zhu Honglie asked incredulously, "Isn't that stupid?"

"How would I know what that girl is thinking?" Qiu Cang snorted coldly, seemingly still a little angry.

Zhu Honglie suddenly realized something and smiled, saying, "This girl, could she be..."

"Alright, stop gossiping," Qiu Zang interrupted him. "You know what that girl's situation is like, she's been like this since she was little."

He didn't say anything more.

Zhu Honglie seemed to realize something as well, sighed inwardly, and said nothing more.

He then said, "After the Genius Cup ends, Principal Bai plans to send Jiang Ye to the Starry Sky Passage for a life-or-death adventure. You can see how things go and make arrangements accordingly."

"A starry sky passageway?" Qiu Cang laughed. "That's exactly what I was thinking."

"To venture into the Starry Sky Passage is an incredible opportunity."

"Back then, Xiao Chen seized the opportunity and directly rushed to the mid-stage of the fourth breakthrough," Qiu Zang said with a smile.

“Speaking of fortuitous encounters,” Zhu Honglie suddenly said, “I just remembered, didn’t the Federation discover the ‘Star Sea’ not long ago?”

"That place is said to have been designated as a 'top-tier opportunity' by the Federation."

"A top-tier opportunity!" Zhu Honglie hissed. "You should know that the highest opportunity one can get through the Starry Sky Passage is only a low-tier one."

Qiu Zang nodded and said, "Currently, the Federation only has five top-tier opportunity locations in total."

“Every place contains unimaginable treasures.”

Opportunities also come in different levels.

According to the federal classification, they are divided into four categories: 'A, B, C, and D'.

For example, the 'Polar Ocean Galaxy Starry Sky Passage' is a second-class opportunity, containing benefits that could drive people crazy.

Some powerful individuals have gained amazing benefits inside, and upon exiting, they directly broke through two minor realms.

This is only a second-rate opportunity.

And a top-tier opportunity? Even just one spot is something that extraordinary families would fight tooth and nail for.

"Entry slots into the Star Realm are extremely rare."

Qiu Zang shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see. If Jiang Ye can get a spot from the Federation and enter the Star Sea, he might even be able to rival Xiao Chen in strength after he comes out."
