My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 289 Martial Saint Domain! (Two chapters combined, please continue reading)
"Shh!"

Jiang Ye opened his eyes again and saw that he had returned to the Martial Arts Ladder.

"Boom!"

A colossal golden martial arts monument slowly rose, exuding an imposing aura, upon which were engraved two magnificent, gleaming golden characters:
'Martial Saint'!
[Congratulations! You have reached the sixth level of the Martial Arts Ladder and obtained the Immortal Monument!]

[Rewards are being processed.]

"I passed." Jiang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

immediately.

Recalling what had happened, Jiang Ye's gaze became somewhat strange.

Fantasy?

No.

The sixth level of the test, although also an illusion, is fundamentally different from the illusionary test of the first level.

It's not a matter of realism.

Both are extremely realistic; the first layer of the illusion has already achieved this to the extreme.

However, the sixth level of the test, while extremely realistic, also sealed away all of Jiang Ye's memories and cultivation.

They forcibly instilled in her the idea that the sect's holy maiden was superior and inviolable.

"wrong."

“Perhaps it wasn’t forced indoctrination.” Jiang Ye suddenly had a thought: “This idea may have originated from the depths of my heart.”

"The sixth level of the test is simply to uncover it."

The Holy Maiden of a sect symbolizes the pinnacle of power and status.

It also has counterparts in the real world.

Just like the Cangxu civilization.

Jiang Ye knew that the other party might be the culprit who caused the Shadow Calamity.

Faced with the invitation from the Cangxu civilization, Jiang Ye still couldn't bring himself to refuse. He felt so insignificant in the face of such a behemoth.

This thought was hidden deep within Jiang Ye's heart.

In the past, even Jiang Ye himself hadn't noticed.

But today!!

The sixth level of the assessment concretizes this idea.

Jiang Ye swung his sword at the saintess.

He truly took the first step in breaking free from the saintly image in his heart.

"Saintesses are meant to be broken." Jiang Ye's state of mind underwent a subtle transformation.

He felt incredibly relaxed.

at this time.

The rewards settlement page finally appeared.

[The pilgrim must break through the illusions within their own hearts to attain true sainthood, and establish themselves as saints—only then can they become martial saints!]

[Unlock titles: Piercing Saint Bone, Martial Saint Domain, Piercing Saint Eye]

[Breaking Through Illusions Sacred Bone: Strengthens the foundation of the physical body; the bones contain the power of 'Breaking Through Illusions,' granting immunity to 'domain' suppression from the same major realm for 10 seconds.]

"The Bone of the Saint of Illusion? The Domain of the Martial Saint? The Eye of the Saint of Illus

Jiang Ye was extremely surprised.

The rewards this time look really high-class!
Quickly.

Jiang Ye began to browse through it carefully.

soon.

"All three abilities help improve combat power?" Jiang Ye's face lit up with surprise.

What he lacks most right now is combat effectiveness.

This reward is undoubtedly a timely help for Jiang Ye.

"Martial Saint Domain".

"Is it a physical domain?" Jiang Ye wondered to himself, "Or an absolute domain?"

In Jiang Ye's heart.

He had always longed to possess an absolute domain.

Absolute Territory is the mark of invincible Daoist spirit!

Jiang Ye has only reached the standard of invincible Daoist strength by relying on his ability to 'expand his territory'.

Once we leave the Astral Sea, it's hard to say what will happen.

Whether in terms of the number of domains or the domain capabilities, Jiang Ye is quite different from Wudi Daogu.

My gaze swept over the last reward.

"Broken Holy Eye? Saintess's Shadow?"

"Could it be that he too can experience the trial illusion like me?" Jiang Ye's heart stirred slightly.

If that's true, then this ability is absolutely incredible.

Especially when used in conjunction with the 'Ten Thousand Tides Domain', its effect on the enemy will be absolutely astonishing.

"it is good."

"The Martial Arts Ladder has indeed not disappointed me." A smile appeared on Jiang Ye's lips.

He had a premonition.

These three abilities will undoubtedly be a great help to him.

"It's time to go out." Jiang Ye didn't linger any longer.

Whoosh! He flashed and disappeared from the spot.

shuh~
In the hidden cave, Jiang Ye opened his eyes again.

Jiang Ye quickly sensed some changes occurring within his body.

This change is very subtle and even difficult to detect.

However, with Jiang Ye's current level of cultivation, he can easily sense it.

"Is it because of the Broken Illusion Sacred Bone?" Jiang Ye realized.

The Breakthrough Sacred Bone strengthens the foundation of the physical body, imbuing the bones with the power of "Breaking Through the Saints," making them immune to the suppression of "domains" within the same major realm.

This ability is now strengthening Jiang Ye's physical body, bringing about some subtle changes.

Jiang Ye waited patiently.

suddenly.

"Senior?" His eyes flickered as he saw Liu Shishi standing not far away.

The other person had arrived nearby without him noticing.

"You've finished your cultivation?" Liu Shishi looked over upon hearing this.

"Hmm." Jiang Ye inquired, "You've been so engrossed in cultivation, how many days have passed?"

"Three days."

"Three days?" Jiang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

The opportunity at Purple Phoenix Mountain was ripe in seven days, and he didn't miss it.

"Senior, how are your injuries?" Jiang Ye asked Liu Shishi.

"She's out of danger." Liu Shishi smiled gently.

She has a gentle appearance. Although her looks are not as stunning as Chen Zilu and Wang Zilu, her smile has a unique charm.

Jiang Ye looked at her carefully and was slightly taken aback.

He wasn't looking at her face, but rather scanning her body.

"I can actually see her injuries directly?"

"This?" Jiang Ye was secretly shocked: "Is it because of the Broken Saint Eye?"

In Jiang Ye's eyes at this moment.

Liu Shishi, dressed in a pale yellow dress, seemed to have vanished.

Jiang Ye could see directly the snow-white body hidden under the long dress and the wounds on the girl's delicate body.

Those wounds were clearly not fully healed yet.

"Hey."

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Liu Shishi gently covered her mouth, seemingly a little shy from his gaze.

Jiang Ye then withdrew his gaze.

"The Saintly Eye can see through all disguises."

"Can you also see other people's weaknesses directly?" Jiang Ye had a sudden realization: "Liu Shishi's wound is her weakness, which is why I can see it."

Think about this.

Jiang Ye immediately looked at Liu Shishi and said, "Senior, your injuries are very serious."

Liu Shishi was slightly taken aback.

She didn't care how Jiang Ye figured it out; on the contrary, she was somewhat surprised by Jiang Ye's attitude.

"Junior."

"Are you worried about me?" Liu Shishi asked gently, with a hint of surprise in her voice.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ye asked, puzzled by her sudden question.

"It's nothing." Liu Shishi covered her mouth and chuckled. "I just didn't expect my junior to be so caring."

"."

Jiang Ye detected a hint of resentment in her tone and was momentarily speechless with surprise. Then he realized...

In the three days since he entered the Martial Arts Ladder, the other party has probably contacted him several times, but Jiang Ye is destined to be unable to respond.

"You're joking, senior."

“Now we are teammates fighting side by side.” Jiang Ye shook his head and smiled. “Of course I have to care about my teammates when they are injured.”

talking.

He took out several Class B opportunities from his storage bracelet.

"Senior, take this to heal your wounds," Jiang Ye said. "Seven days from now, we'll be going to Purple Phoenix Mountain to compete for the Flame of Civilization. Senior, you need to recover as soon as possible."

Liu Shishi looked at those opportunities.

moment.

"Okay." She reached out and took it, saying earnestly, "I won't hold you back."

After saying that, Liu Shishi turned and walked deeper into the cave.

Jiang Ye was slightly taken aback. Did the other party think he felt that the other party was holding him back?
"Senior."

Jiang Ye suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm?" Liu Shishi hummed softly and stopped, turning to the side.

"No need to rush," Jiang Ye said gently. "I'll always be here."

Liu Shishi was slightly taken aback.

She couldn't help but turn around to look. The young man was so handsome in her eyes, with a refined and gentle demeanor.

"Okay! Thank you, junior."

The girl nodded emphatically, clutching several opportunities, and walked deeper into the cave.

Her steps were finally a little lighter than before.

Jiang Ye watched Liu Shishi disappear into the depths of the cave before turning his gaze away.

"The opportunity to reach 'Purple Phoenix Mountain' has come to fruition."

"Seven days left."

Jiang Ye thought to himself, "I have two fourth-tier Class A opportunities. These seven days are enough for me to reach the mid-stage of the fourth breakthrough in life level."

"As for the breakthrough in the True God Scripture, it shouldn't be too long."

The fourth stage of breakthrough is the expansion of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Continuously expand the scope of your knowledge.

"My sea of ​​consciousness."

“One meter long, one meter wide, and one meter high, his innate range is much larger than others.” Jiang Ye revealed a smile.

Like other powerful individuals who have just entered the fourth level of breakthrough, their sea of ​​consciousness is only one foot long and wide.

And Jiang Ye? A full three times more.

This is thanks to Jiang Ye's ability to "observe all things" before his fourth breakthrough, which gave him an innate advantage over others in terms of mental power.

This also means.

Jiang Ye will find it easier to break through to the mid-stage of the fourth breakthrough than others.

"Try Harder."

"First, we need to raise our life level." Jiang Ye took out the two fourth-tier Class A opportunities.

One of them came from the Corridor of Civilization, a fourth-tier lower-level warrior.

The other item was a high-grade fourth-tier armor, which was the gift Liu Shishi had given her earlier.

"I eat!"

Jiang Ye opened his mouth and swallowed the fourth-tier Class A opportunity directly.

Gulu!

It melts at the entrance.

A surge of pure energy rose from Jiang Ye's abdomen and spread throughout his body.

"Refine." Jiang Ye circulated his cultivation technique and began to silently refine the spiritual energy within his body.

"Ok?"

As soon as the refining process began, Jiang Ye sensed something was wrong.

"My refining speed is actually ten times faster than before?"

"How could it be so fast?!" Jiang Ye was shocked, disbelief welling up in his heart.

fast.

too fast.

Unparalleled comfort, as if there were no obstructions whatsoever.

"Is it because of the Martial Embryo Holy Body?"

"The Martial Embryo Saint Body's speed in refining opportunities is so exaggerated?" Jiang Ye was surprised and somewhat incredulous.

Is this what it feels like to refine extraordinary talent into a fortuitous opportunity?
This is so awesome!

Previously, when Jiang Ye refined his opportunities, his life level would only increase slightly every few minutes.

but now?
Every few seconds, Jiang Ye's life level would rise a little bit, though the increase was very small, but it was persistent!
This feeling of getting stronger every second filled Jiang Ye with immense pleasure.

Quickly.

Jiang Ye calmed down and began to focus on refining the opportunity within his body.

"Continue like this."

"Perhaps it won't take more than seven days." Jiang Ye had a premonition: "My life level will reach the mid-stage of the fourth breakthrough."

While Jiang Ye was diligently cultivating his skills.

Thousands of miles away from the cave.

"Whoosh!" A streak of light flashed across the sky.

Upon closer inspection, the figure in the stream of light was none other than Hei Tianjue, a dark-skinned youth from the Dark Civilization.

Whoosh! The dark-skinned youth landed on the top of a snow-covered mountain.

"Ahead lies Purple Phoenix Mountain."

"According to intelligence from our clan, there's a very high probability that the 'Spark of Civilization' will spawn here," Hei Tianjue thought to himself. "And it will also be accompanied by the birth of a superior fourth-tier armor opportunity."

"A strategically vital location."

Hei Tianjue looked ahead, his eyes filled with determination.

suddenly.

"Buzz!" The communicator vibrated violently.

"Is that Master?" Hei Tianjue's expression changed slightly, and he quickly made the call.

“Tianjue.” A deep voice came from the communicator.

"Master," Hei Tianjue said respectfully.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

As a level 0.9 civilization, the Dark Abyss Civilization possessed extremely advanced technology and indeed had the ability to make cross-dimensional connections.

However, this usually requires a huge cost.

So, Master must have something important to say if he called specifically for this.

"Tianjue, keep an eye on someone." The deep voice said, "If you encounter him, try to avoid confrontation."

"Whom should we keep an eye on?" Hei Tianjue asked, puzzled.

It's quite unusual that Master would contact him specifically for someone.

"Jiang Ye," a deep voice said.

Hei Tianjue was shocked.

In that instant, many names flashed through his mind, but Jiang Ye was the only one he didn't think of.

Long before, Hei Tianjue had already resolved to kill the other party.

"Master."

Hei Tianjue couldn't help but ask, "Why should I avoid confronting him?"

“That person’s strength is extraordinary; you may not be his match,” the deep voice said.

Hei Tianjue found it unbelievable.

As an invincible Daoist, he has always been the pride of his master and even the face of the entire Dark Civilization.

Jiang Ye, on the other hand, was only at the early stage of the fourth breakthrough.

There are two realms separating the two of them.

Now Master actually says that he is no match for Jiang Ye?

"Master, I have now reached the late stage of the fourth breakthrough." Hei Tianjue couldn't help but emphasize.

"I know."

"But that person has very likely grasped the essence of spear techniques." The deep voice said, "You should know how difficult it is to grasp the essence at the fourth breakthrough stage."

"The essence of marksmanship?" Hei Tianjue was shocked.

Of course he knows about this.

As an invincible Daoist, Hei Tianjue has always pursued the path to godhood.

Shen Yun is a crucial element on the path to divinity.

Hei Tianjue has also been searching for it.

"Jiang Ye, he's grasped the essence?"

"This!?" Hei Tianjue's eyes were filled with shock.

He instantly realized just how terrifying that complete genius from Earth he had never met was.
