My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 239 Third Breakthrough! The Fifth Level of the Martial Arts Ladder! (Two chapters combined, please continue reading)
At this moment.

Inside Jiang Ye's body, in the lower abdomen.

In that mysterious space called 'Guanyuan Acupoint', two energies intertwined and churned, transforming into a circular vortex.

Within this vortex, the millions of strands of stellar energy originally stored in the Guanyuan acupoint also began to rotate.

As the vortex rotates, it generates extremely high pressure, causing stellar energy to rapidly condense and concentrate.

High-pressure condensation.

In just a few seconds, these millions of strands of star energy condensed into millions of strands of liquid star energy concentrated to the limit.

"Liquid-to-liquid transformation!"

"Finally, I succeeded." Jiang Ye looked inward at himself.

The third breakthrough is the process of liquefying stellar energy!
The prerequisite for this process is the transformation of the Guanyuan acupoint. It transforms from a spherical space into a vortex that can condense stellar energy.

Within this cyclone, the energy level of stellar energy that can be contained is greatly increased.

Jiang Ye could feel it at that moment.

The liquid stellar energy within his body contains terrifying power.

"The most prominent feature of a three-fold breakthrough expert is the cyclone."

"To condense a vortex of energy is equivalent to mastering several times the internal strength of before." Jiang Ye was shocked: "Too powerful."

At that moment, he finally realized it.

How exaggerated was my previous feat of reversing the three defeats?

The third breakthrough is equivalent to a three-dimensional being crushing a two-dimensional being; the energy levels are completely different.

This is more than just a qualitative change in quantity!

"Now that I've condensed the vortex, I should be able to directly control level two star energy," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

"The boost from the energy level jump alone is enough to allow me to easily unleash five times the power I had before."

"And if we use our ultimate move, the power will increase exponentially." Jiang Ye was thrilled.

The existence of cyclones.

This greatly increases the amount and quality of star energy he uses when unleashing his ultimate move.

Its power is naturally far greater than before.

"boom!"

As the Guanyuan acupoint in Jiang Ye's body underwent a complete transformation, an incomparably powerful aura burst forth from his body.

This kind of spirit is different from when Jiang Ye's life level reached the third breakthrough.

The difference between the two is not difficult to distinguish.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Ye's previous momentum was like a rootless duckweed, floating and uncertain.

But now? Incredibly profound.

"finally."

“We’ve truly reached the third breakthrough!” Jiang Ye’s gaze swept across the panel.

【White Dragon True God Scripture (Part 1): Beginner's Guide (50%)】

Two days.

Increased from 35% to 50%.

This exaggerated cultivation speed, apart from the black lump Chen Zilu gave him, is due to the effect of the 'Martial Saint Bond'.

"No wonder it's a legendary achievement," Jiang Ye thought to himself in amazement. "The effect is truly remarkable."

Without the 'Martial Saint Bond'.

Even with the black bumps, Jiang Ye estimated that it would take at least five days for him to break through to the third level.

"Senior sister, you really are my lucky star," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

From his first foray into martial arts in high school to now, Chen Zilu has indeed held extraordinary significance for him.

Just as Jiang Ye was secretly sighing.

suddenly.

[Your strength has reached the system's new limit!]

[Unlock title: Martial Arts Grandmaster!]

[Grandmaster of Martial Arts: The progenitor of martial arts, whose skill is as profound as creation itself, the fourth highest peak in martial arts, whose cultivation is boundless and all-encompassing, and who is the ancestor of martial arts.]

[Reward: Ultimate Transformation in the Mortal Realm]

-

"The founder of martial arts." A smile appeared on Jiang Ye's lips.

He finally reached the level that Chen Zilu had reached.

Although the other party has now reached the level of 'Martial Saint', for Jiang Ye, the distance between him and Chen Zilu is now much smaller than before.

"The ultimate transformation in the mortal realm?" Jiang Ye noticed the reward this time.

That's an exaggerated description.

"The mortal realm, does that refer to the low-level martial arts world?" Jiang Ye pondered. "Then, when I break through to the fourth level, can I continue to improve?"

As he pondered...

The panel has quietly changed.

[Constitution: Mysterious Body (Upper B) → (Upper A)]

"Superior-grade Xuan Body".

"My talent is already on par with my senior sister's." Jiang Ye revealed a smile.

He knew that there were differences even among those of the highest-grade Xuan Body.

Like Zhu Hua and Bei Li before them, they were both of the highest grade of Xuan Ti.

But compared to the former, Beili's strength and talent are much higher.

But Jiang Ye doesn't need to care about these things.

After all, he can improve through the system.

"Could the next upgrade be the Martial Embryo Saint Body?" Jiang Ye pondered. "Above the Profound Body should be the Martial Embryo Saint Body."

Jiang Ye now has a clear understanding of the system's constitution classification.

Original endowment and newborn endowment correspond to the four levels of mortal beings.

The Daoist bone endowment corresponds to the four grades of the Mysterious Body.

Go up further?
Jiang Ye had already witnessed extraordinary talent during the Twenty-Five Schools Genius Cup; the peerless prodigy named 'Chu Jingye' possessed it.

And the opponent's physique is the Martial Embryo Saint Body!
"but."

"I remember that according to the system's assessment," Jiang Ye thought to himself, "the Martial Embryo Saint Body belongs to the 'Upper Realm' physique."

Jiang Ting is also a Martial Embryo Saint Body.

prior to.

When Jiang Ting washed his feet, the "Saintess as Servant" achievement was triggered.

The Holy Maiden of the Upper Realm is my servant!

Clearly, in the worldview of the low-level martial arts system, the concept of 'Martial Embryo Sacred Body' does not exist.

Only the Upper Realm exists!

"I wonder where the upper limit of this low-level martial arts world really is."

“Currently, it seems that even Martial Saints and Martial Gods are included in the low-level martial arts system.” Jiang Ye pondered silently: “But since the system has the concept of ‘upper realm,’ it means that there must be a level judgment that exceeds the low-level martial arts world.”

Jiang Ye was somewhat expectant.

What kind of achievements will be triggered if I reach that level?
There should be a surprise, right?
Just as Jiang Ye was pondering to himself.

In the distance, Chen Zilu, sitting cross-legged on the ground, stared intently at Jiang Ye with her beautiful eyes.

"This guy."

"He really broke through?" Chen Zilu's peach blossom eyes showed a hint of surprise.

She had previously demanded that Jiang Ye break through within three days.

But now? It's only the second day.

"He even claimed his skills were far inferior." Chen Zilu scoffed inwardly, "He's lying again."

"but."

She suddenly remembered something.

"These past two days, my cultivation speed seems to have increased quite a bit?" A strange look appeared on Chen Zilu's pretty face.

She sensed it very clearly.

Some subtle changes have occurred during my cultivation over the past two days.

This change is very subtle, even imperceptible, and ordinary people may not be able to detect it.

But every time Chen Zilu practiced, she felt extremely painful.

This pain tears at the very soul.

While keeping her conscious, she could also clearly feel that terrible, excruciating pain that penetrated to every part of her bones.

In a sense, the pain she endured, though tormented, also gave her a keen sense of control over many subtle aspects of herself.

She can detect even the slightest change immediately.

Therefore, Chen Zilu was quite certain that her cultivation had indeed accelerated considerably in the past two days.

"I didn't consume any magical treasures." Chen Zilu asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why has your cultivation speed suddenly increased?"

She had been in this hidden space for many days.

Nothing had changed before.

What is the only variable?
That can only mean that in the last two days, there has been a guy she cares about.

"It can't be because of him, can it?"

Chen Zilu glanced at Jiang Ye with her pretty eyes, thinking it was impossible.

If she's in a good mood, her cultivation speed might indeed increase a bit.

But she's not completely over it yet. She only said those things before because she didn't want to add to Jiang Ye's burden.

How could she possibly be happy when her boyfriend was being intimate with other girls behind her back?

Chen Zilu didn't want to affect Jiang Ye with these negative emotions, so she simply processed them silently on her own, since she was already used to it anyway.

for a long time.

"Let's cultivate." Chen Zilu composed herself.

I silently closed my eyes. But this time...

She had only been practicing for a short time when she began to vaguely sense that something was wrong.

At Chen Zilu's level, martial arts intuition is terrifying.

Suddenly.

"Whoosh~" Chen Zilu opened her eyes.

Then she saw that Jiang Ye, who had been in the distance, had somehow sat down next to her and was staring at her.

"."

"Are you trying to die?"

Chen Zilu was startled when she saw the figure that appeared beside her like a ghost, and she instinctively widened her beautiful eyes.

"You look like a ghost," the girl said reproachfully.

Jiang Ye laughed; it was the first time he had ever seen Chen Zilu react like this.

Even such a strong girl can be frightened at times.

"I saw you were cultivating, so I tiptoed over here," Jiang Ye said, blinking.

Chen Zilu rolled her eyes at him.

She had been watching Jiang Ye for a long time without him reacting at all, but he came running over shortly after she closed her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Zilu asked.

"I've broken through to the third level," Jiang Ye said with a smile. "Now you can stay here, right?"

"."

Chen Zilu looked at him silently.

This guy, did he really think she would kick him out?

Does she seem that heartless?

However, Jiang Ye's concern for her words brought a touch of pleasure to the girl.

"Fine." Chen Zilu's lips curled slightly, and she hummed softly, "You can stay."

"Thank you, Senior Sister," Jiang Ye said with a smile.

He actually knew that Chen Zilu wouldn't kick people out.

However, since the other party had said that, he definitely had to respond.

Girls, you know, pay attention to details.

"What are your plans next?" Chen Zilu asked, her peach-blossom eyes fixed on him.

"Intend?"

Jiang Ye hesitated for a moment, then said, "I came here partly to find you, and partly to break through to the third breakthrough."

"Both of these goals have now been achieved."

“There’s one last thing missing,” Jiang Ye said. “I plan to go and find the Extreme Sea Essence.”

"Extreme Sea Essence?" Chen Zilu was taken aback, then nodded: "You've already broken through to the third level, so Extreme Sea Essence can indeed help you a lot."

Jiang Ye smiled and said nothing more.

He was looking for the Extreme Ocean Essence, and of course, it wasn't just for himself.

That thing wasn't very useful to him, but it was crucial to Chen Zilu.

of course.

After Jiang Ye breaks through to the fourth level, the Extreme Sea Essence will be equally important to him, as it can help him quickly expand his sea of ​​consciousness.

The fourth breakthrough is "opening the mysterious aperture," which refers to the sea of ​​consciousness.

Developing your consciousness will unlock a whole new world.

This is why after breaking through the fourth barrier, one can perceive the surrounding environment without relying on the five senses.

His sea of ​​consciousness was incredibly wondrous.

It contains many incredible abilities!
Although Jiang Ye now possesses 'psychic power' and can perceive all things, that is only one of the uses of his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Oceanic crust".

"It contains the essence of the Arctic Ocean." Jiang Ye looked at the map: "It will take another week to mature."

"Sister."

"How are you feeling?" Jiang Ye asked Chen Zilu.

"I'm fine," Chen Zilu said. "I'll go with you in a week."

“If you’re not feeling well, then stay here.” Jiang Ye looked at her intently. “I can go by myself.”

This hidden space is safe enough.

"Don't worry," Chen Zilu shook her head and said, "I'll be back to peak condition in a week."

"Okay." Jiang Ye didn't say anything more.

There's still one week left.

He'll notice if Chen Zilu isn't in good condition by then.

At that time, he would naturally not let the other party put themselves in danger again.

In any case, Jiang Ye figured that Chen Zilu might not be his match in this ancient star No. 7. If he didn't let her leave, it would be difficult for her to force her way out.

If they really got into a fight, Chen Zilu might not be able to beat him, and might even be pinned down by him.

Of course, this only applies to these 7 ancient stars.

Once they're outside, without the limitations of their cultivation levels, it won't be so easy for Jiang Ye to suppress Chen Zilu.

Think about this.

"Senior sister, I'll go back to my cultivation then." Jiang Ye looked at Chen Zilu: "You take good care of yourself."

"Okay." Chen Zilu nodded gently.

Jiang Ye turned around and walked back to where he had been.

Chen Zilu watched his back until Jiang Ye sat down cross-legged before she looked away.

"This guy, is he going to close his eyes and it'll be several days again?" the girl muttered to herself.

In that case, what's the difference between her being here alone and her being alone?
suddenly.

"Senior Sister." Jiang Ye's voice came from afar.

"what?"

"I might go into seclusion for a few days," Jiang Ye said. "If you need anything, wait until I wake up before contacting me."

"..." Chen Zilu's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

Are you really planning to sit there motionless for days?

"it is good."

"I'll wait for you to finish your seclusion." Chen Zilu didn't say anything more.

"Senior Sister," Jiang Ye suddenly said, "You can say whatever it is now."

"I'm fine!" Chen Zi hummed softly.

"Since Senior Sister is alright, I'll keep her company for a chat," Jiang Ye said with a smile, noticing that the girl was a little upset.

Chen Zilu rolled her eyes at him: "What do you want to talk about?"

"Let me tell my senior sister the story of the twelve zodiac animals," Jiang Ye said, his voice drifting from afar.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ye calmed the girl down and returned to his original spot to sit cross-legged.

"Martial Arts Ladder!"

He was silent.

The next moment, Jiang Ye's consciousness suddenly sank.

"call!"

In the boundless, endless clouds and mist, Jiang Ye opened his eyes again.

Before them stood an incomparably magnificent white-gold staircase, leading to the endless sky.

"Is there an end to this martial arts ladder?"

A question involuntarily arose in Jiang Ye's mind.

He has now climbed to the fourth floor and is about to climb to the fifth floor, but he still cannot see the end of the ladder.

Is this martial arts ladder endless?

"do not care."

"Climb." Jiang Ye took a deep breath: "The fifth level of the Martial Arts Ladder!"

He strode forward.

We easily reached the fourth floor.

Then, they began climbing the ten steps to the fifth floor.

The first course.

The third way.

The sixth one.
Jiang Ye climbed upwards step by step.

Unbeknownst to him, he had grown taller and taller, and the invisible pressure he felt had become increasingly terrifying.

Fortunately, Jiang Ye's strength is now far greater than before, and he climbs all the way up.

at last.

"Thump~" Jiang Ye's feet landed on the fifth-floor platform.

The pressure dissipated with the wind.

You have reached the fifth level of the Martial Arts Ladder.

[Should we begin the fifth level of assessment immediately?]

"Activate!" Jiang Ye silently chanted in his heart.

next moment.

His consciousness fell into darkness.
