Chapter 317 Ascending to Godhood! Starry Sky Refinement (Three-in-One, Please Follow for Subscription)
"Eno?"

Old Zhou, the figure in white, said with a puzzled look, "This boy is indeed somewhat unusual, but I can't see anything different about him."

"You didn't notice?" The blurry black figure asked, somewhat surprised.

"This child possesses innate natural talent."

"Yet it was able to rise to prominence in a very short time." The blurry black figure said, "The secrets behind this are perhaps no less significant than those of that girl from the Chen family."

Old Zhou nodded slightly, not in rebuttal.

“Next time, I will use the ‘Dragon Observation Technique’ to examine it carefully,” Old Zhou said.

"Okay." The blurry black figure nodded.

The art of observing dragons is a unique ability belonging only to Lao Zhou.

The term "observing the dragon" does not mean the literal meaning of the words, but rather to observe the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and glimpse the true meaning of the Great Dao!
In other words, this ability allows one to glimpse the origin of all things, and can be helpful in treasure hunting, enlightenment, and even in discerning the secrets of heaven.

Extremely powerful.

Old Zhou got to where he is today largely because of this ability.

The girl from the Chen family was the one whom Old Zhou had deduced using the "Dragon Observation Technique," which is how they confirmed that she possessed an astonishing secret.

But Jiang Ye? Old Zhou hasn't tried it yet.

"correct."

"Jiang Ye," the blurry black figure said, "what do you think about his challenge to Zhou Xingkong?"

"A fight?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhou couldn't help but laugh: "It's just child's play, don't take it seriously."

"Oh?" The blurry black figure looked at him.

“That kid Zhou Xingkong is already at the late stage of the fifth breakthrough.” Old Zhou said calmly, “And Jiang Ye? Half a year ago, he was only at the third breakthrough.”

"Even if he improves very quickly, he will still find it difficult to reach the fifth breakthrough by the time of the All-Star Battle six months later."

"This challenge is destined to end inconclusively," Old Zhou said, shaking his head.

Knowing you're outmatched, why fight? That's suicide.

He believed that Jiang Ye wouldn't be that foolish.

"Let's take a step back and say..."

"Even if Jiang Ye really reaches the fifth level of breakthrough," Old Zhou shook his head and said, "he still wouldn't be a match for Zhou Xingkong."

"Zhou Xingkong possesses extraordinary talent."

No matter how strong one's Daoist bones are, they are still just Daoist bones.

Being able to withstand the pressure of the extraordinary realm is already the limit.

Dao Gu defeating a transcendent? Almost impossible.

At least from Lao Zhou's perspective, he didn't believe such a thing could happen.

Jiang Ye knew nothing about the outside world.

At this moment, he was standing in the training room, constantly refining the complex cultivation insights in his mind.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh!
Jiang Ye gripped his spear, processing his insights while simultaneously practicing his spear techniques.

"Boom! Boom!"

The spear, like a dragon, unleashed a series of spear shadows, sometimes thrusting out explosively, sometimes sweeping horizontally, each move ever-changing and continuous.

unconsciously.

Jiang Ye's marksmanship has changed.

No longer as orderly as before, but a complete disruption of the moves, looking like wildly swinging a gun.

But if a master of marksmanship were here at this moment, they would be surprised to find that...

Jiang Ye's marksmanship, seemingly chaotic, is actually constantly incorporating something new.

However, this kind of 'thing' does not belong to any existing gun techniques, which is why it looks messy and disorganized.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
As time went by, Jiang Ye's marksmanship became increasingly unpredictable, incorporating more and more diverse elements.

Gradually, his marksmanship completely changed, becoming more powerful and sharp, with a rhythm that was entirely different from before.

Suddenly.

"Wow!"

Jiang Ye thrust his spear out suddenly, unleashing an unprecedented rhythm and revealing the full essence of his spear technique.

The spear's edge pierced the void.

"Swoosh!" A terrifying wave erupted instantly, and as the spear light flashed, a visible white streak appeared in the void.

"This shot actually affected the void?" Bai Gui stood to the side, a look of surprise on her pretty face.

This is different from the usual saying of 'piercing through the void'.

What is said in everyday life is merely a symbolic description of power, not an actual cleaving of the void.

But Jiang Ye's shot right now has truly left a mark in the void.

"His marksmanship has undergone a further transformation."

"Has he already stepped into the threshold of god-level spear technique?" Bai Gui revealed a smile: "Truly a peerless genius, he has created a god-level technique before even reaching the fifth level of breakthrough."

at the same time.

Jiang Ye also sensed that mysterious change.

It was as if the shackles that had bound him for so long had finally been broken.

He gripped the spear again, and couldn't help but feel a rhythm far greater than before, making him feel incredibly relaxed.

"Wow~"

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Jiang Ye wielded his spear, its light flashing, each strike leaving faint white marks in the air.

These are the spear points.

Each shot is enough to easily kill any peak fourth-stage powerhouse!
"Finally, I've broken through!" Jiang Ye was overjoyed.

The insights gained from hundreds of geniuses from other races.

The Luoshen Spear Technique has finally overcome that hurdle.

"Congratulations!"

"He created a god-level marksmanship technique." Bai Gui walked over.

"Is it really god-level?" Jiang Ye smiled.

Previously, he had guessed that the Luo Shen Spear Technique had reached the upper limit of the Heaven Rank, and the next step would be the threshold of the God Rank.

But this is just speculation.

This moment has finally been confirmed.

"The difference between divine-level spear techniques and heaven-level spear techniques is indeed enormous."

"Control and explosive power of marksmanship," Jiang Ye thought to himself, "are fundamentally different."

This is similar to the difference between the True God Scripture and the Heavenly Rank Technique.

In terms of cultivation methods, there is actually not much difference.

However, changes at some key junctures, through a series of chain reactions, ultimately led to huge differences in the control and release of stellar energy.

The same applies to the Luoshen Spear.

In the past, Jiang Ye's control and explosive power of marksmanship was less than one percent.

Now, that would be enough to climb to ten percent, or even more.

"The third move of the Luoshen Spear Technique—Divine Sea—should be nearing completion as well," Jiang Ye mused to himself.

The creation of god-level marksmanship sparked numerous flashes of inspiration in his mind.

These flashes of inspiration can help him greatly improve his marksmanship in a short period of time.

"time."

"How long has it been?" Jiang Ye picked up his phone and glanced at it.

The next moment, he was slightly stunned.

"Half a month has already passed?" Jiang Ye was secretly surprised: "Has this shooting practice lasted for so long? I didn't even notice."

"Half a month isn't a long time," Bai Gui said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"Creating a cultivation technique is inherently an incredibly immersive process."

“Many peerless geniuses spend several years, or even more than ten years, creating techniques, only to return empty-handed.” Bai Gui said, “To be able to create a god-level spear technique in half a month is already quite astonishing.”

She looked at Jiang Ye, her eyes filled with even more emotion.

He created a god-level marksmanship in half a month, and he still thinks it's too long?

If those unparalleled geniuses knew about this, they'd probably be so angry they'd vomit blood.

“That’s true.” Jiang Ye realized as well, and then smiled.

God-level cultivation technique!

This kind of thing doesn't exist in most civilizations below level one.

Only interstellar civilizations of level one or higher can possess and pass on this knowledge.

Jiang Ye, having only broken through to the fourth level, had already created a technique of this caliber, which was nothing short of a fantasy.

"Message." Jiang Ye looked at his phone.

During the two weeks he spent in seclusion, he received many unread messages.

"A missed call from my senior sister?"

"And... the private spaceship has already arrived at Bailong University?" Jiang Ye's heart stirred slightly.

No hesitation.

Jiang Ye dialed Chen Zilu's number directly.

"beep"

Beep! The call is connected.

"Whoosh!" Countless rays of light converged, coalescing into the figure of a girl in a white dress.

"Senior sister, you were looking for me?" Jiang Ye asked, puzzled.

"Hmm." Chen Zilu got straight to the point: "My ancestor's 500th birthday banquet is in half a month, and I've invited you to come with me."

"Your ancestor?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

“He wants to see you,” Chen Zilu said.

"The Chen family patriarch wants to see me?" A hint of doubt welled up in Jiang Ye's heart.

He knew that Chen Zilu's family was an extraordinary one.

The patriarch of an extraordinary family, who is also celebrating his 500th birthday, is probably a veteran-level powerhouse on Earth.

Why would someone like that specifically request to see him?
"Is it because of my relationship with my senior sister?" Many thoughts crossed Jiang Ye's mind.

"understood."

"Is there anything I need to be careful about?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.

Chen Zilu asked curiously, "Why are you asking this?"

"Is there anything I need to be careful about when meeting the parents?" Jiang Ye asked with a smile.

"."

"What do you mean by meeting the parents?" Chen Zilu was slightly taken aback, then rolled her eyes at him.

She was talking about serious matters, but this guy, what was he thinking about?

"Once you arrive, you can participate in the clan's 'Starry Sky Hundred Refinements'."

"This is also a test for you," Chen Zilu said, looking at him. "Passing it will be of great benefit to you."

"Starry Sky Hundred Refinements?" Jiang Ye's expression shifted slightly. "What is this?"

“Similar to Starry Sea Divine Path,” Chen Zilu said. “Starry Sea Divine Path is more beneficial to those below the third breakthrough level, while Starry Sky Hundred Refinements is more beneficial to those above the third breakthrough level.”

"There's such a saying?" Jiang Ye had never heard of it before.

"This matter is a secret, a core secret of the clan, the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements." Chen Zilu told him everything without hiding anything from him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye was startled.

The Chen family's core secrets—they actually allowed him to participate?
Logically speaking, he is still an outsider.

"Sister."

"Has your ancestor already approved of our relationship?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.

Chen Zilu stiffened and couldn't help but glare at him: "What relationship? What are you thinking now?"

"Senior sister, what do you think our relationship is now?" Jiang Ye asked with a smile.

"What other relationship could there be?"

"Of course they're senior sister and junior brother," Chen Zilu snorted.

"And what about after that?" Jiang Ye asked, looking at her curiously.

"What do you mean by 'later'?" Chen Zilu rolled her eyes at him. "We'll talk about the future later. Right now, I'm still your senior sister! Show me some respect."

"Yes, Senior Sister."

"."

Chen Zilu stared at him speechlessly, unsure whether to be annoyed or amused.

"Stop joking, we're talking serious." she said gently.

"Okay." Jiang Ye then stopped smiling.

"As I just said, the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements will be of great benefit to you," Chen Zilu said earnestly. "Especially for your breakthrough to the fifth level, the benefits will be even greater."

"Five breakthroughs?" Jiang Ye's expression shifted slightly.

He really should prepare for the fifth breakthrough.

Reaching the fifth breakthrough before the Star Wars has always been Jiang Ye's minimum goal.

“Before.” “When I was still at the peak of the fourth breakthrough.”

"It was through the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements that I was able to reach the fifth breakthrough in a short period of time," Chen Zilu said earnestly. "Otherwise, even if I relied solely on my own arduous cultivation and spent another six months, I might not have been able to achieve the fifth breakthrough."

Jiang Ye nodded.

Since breaking through the fourth barrier, he has come to deeply understand the difficulty of this stage.

According to Bai Gui, even with extraordinary talent, without the help of divine opportunities, it would take at least a year to go from the fourth to the fifth breakthrough.

And what about Chen Zilu?
It's been about a year.

"No wonder Senior Sister's cultivation speed is so fast." Jiang Ye suddenly realized.

"Senior Sister," Jiang Ye asked curiously, "What exactly are the trials in this Starry Sky Hundred Refinements?"

"Hard to say."

"The Starry Sky Trials consist of one hundred trials in total," Chen Zilu explained. "Everyone's experience is different."

"But these one hundred trials become increasingly difficult as you progress."

"Back then, I only passed sixty trials." Chen Zilu seemed a little regretful: "If I could have passed a few more, I might have received a higher reward."

"That difficult?" Jiang Ye was secretly surprised.

Chen Zilu possesses invincible Daoist bones; even she only managed to pass sixty trials.
This difficulty is indeed beyond imagination.

"Have you ever undergone a trial for those with extraordinary talents?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.

“Yes,” Chen Zilu said. “The most gifted members of our clan have reached the seventieth trial during the fourth breakthrough.”

"Even the extraordinary ones have only passed seventy levels?" Jiang Ye was surprised again.

This level of difficulty is truly outrageous.

"The Starry Sky Hundred Refinements doesn't consider cultivation level, only combat strength," Chen Zilu said. "In this respect, it's somewhat similar to the Star Sea Divine Path."

"Therefore, for the next two weeks, you should do your best to improve your combat strength."

"Perhaps you can pass even higher trials," Chen Zilu reminded her. "The more trials you pass, the richer the rewards will be."

"Understood." Jiang Ye nodded solemnly.

He realized that this Starry Sky Hundred Refinements was at least a top-tier opportunity.

Even higher-level divine opportunities!

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been classified as a secret by the Chen family.

"In short, you must seize this opportunity." Chen Zilu said seriously, "I have received news that Zhou Xingkong has broken through to the late stage of the fifth breakthrough."

"Six months later, his realm will surely be more stable."

"Winning won't be easy." Chen Zilu looked at Jiang Ye, a hint of worry in her peach blossom eyes.

Actually, she didn't want Jiang Ye to go to the agreed-upon battle.

But she knew in her heart that for boys, running away was equivalent to losing their dignity.

Therefore, the battle six months later was inevitable.

"Senior sister, believe me." Jiang Ye smiled, "Six months from now, I will surprise everyone."

"Yes, I believe you." Chen Zilu nodded gently.

Jiang Ye felt a slight chill in his heart.

Zhou Xingkong has indeed reached the late stage of the fifth breakthrough.

Jiang Ye knew all too well how difficult it would be to defeat such an opponent.

It should be noted that in the Star Sea, 'expanding territory' brought him several times the increase in combat power, which is the real reason why Jiang Ye can fight beyond his level.

But on Earth? This ability will be completely ineffective.

After all, the prerequisite for expanding territory is 'conquering foreign tribes'.

Furthermore, Zhou Xingkong possesses extraordinary talent, giving him an absolute advantage under the dual suppression of talent and realm.

Jiang Ye knew perfectly well that his chances of winning were actually very slim.

"The Starry Sky Hundred Refinements is indeed an opportunity not to be missed," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "I must seize it."

According to Chen Zilu.

The Starry Sky Hundred Refinements can bring about a great improvement, and may even help him break through the fifth level in a very short time.

This was undoubtedly a timely help for Jiang Ye.

“Jiang Ye,” Chen Zilu suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Jiang Ye looked at the beautiful girl in front of him.

A thoughtful look flashed across Chen Zilu's pretty face, as if she was hesitating about something.

moment.

She finally spoke.

"The Starry Sky Hundred Refinements is the core secret of the Chen family."

"There's only one chance to open it each year," Chen Zilu said slowly. "Usually, only geniuses from within the clan can enter."

"Your trip this time may cause dissatisfaction among some powerful members of the clan."

"So you really need to do your best." Chen Zilu looked at him earnestly.

Jiang Ye immediately understood what she meant.

To the Chen family, Jiang Ye is still an outsider.

Even if it were made public, most people probably wouldn't acknowledge his relationship with Chen Zilu.

Therefore, Jiang Ye's access to the Chen family's core secrets will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some of the Chen family elders.

"You don't need to feel pressured," Chen Zilu quickly added when she saw his silence. "Just perform normally."

"fine."

"Senior sister," Jiang Ye said with a smile, "Just wait and see my performance then."

Seeing his confident expression, Chen Zilu couldn't help but relax.

She knew that although Jiang Ye could be quite unserious at times, he was often trustworthy when it mattered.

"Okay," Chen Zilu said, "Then I won't disturb your cultivation."

The girl said goodbye and prepared to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute," Jiang Ye suddenly said, "Has your innate ability been repaired?"

"almost."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Chen Zilu's pretty face: "With the treasure you gave me, my abilities are recovering."

"Perhaps it will be fully recovered before the Battle of the Stars." A hint of happiness appeared in the girl's eyes.

Previously, her innate abilities were damaged, and Chen Zilu seemed not to care at all, but that was all an act.

She just didn't want Jiang Ye to feel pressured.

Now that her innate abilities have been restored, she feels genuinely happy.

"Thank you, Jiang Ye," Chen Zilu said sincerely.

"It's what I should do," Jiang Ye said with a smile, feeling equally happy to see the other person recover.

soon.

Jiang Ye hung up the phone and returned to the center of the training room.

"There are still half a month until the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements."

"I'll focus on practicing my spear technique for the next two weeks," Jiang Ye planned. "The Luoshen Spear Technique has already reached the threshold of the divine level."

"A general framework has been established."

"Next, all I need to do is keep increasing the progress," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

With that thought in mind, he glanced at the panel.

[Luoshen Spear: Minor Success (1%)]

"Ok??"

It doesn't matter if you don't watch.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ye was immediately stunned.

The progress bar for Luo Shen's spear had actually regressed from 17% to 1%!
"How can it be going backwards?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

Just a moment.

He then figured out the reason.

"It's because my Luoshen Spear has reached the threshold of the divine level, greatly increasing its potential." Jiang Ye said thoughtfully, "So, the corresponding progress has actually regressed?"

This is not because his marksmanship has declined.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of the level of marksmanship itself that the improvement is too exaggerated.

This is what leads to a setback in progress.

"In the future, if I continue to incorporate new insights, I can elevate this marksmanship to a higher level."

"The progress will likely continue to regress." Jiang Ye's expression turned strange. "Does that mean there will never be a day of completion?"

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Not sure.

But in any case, the power of marksmanship has been increasing dramatically.

"Let's practice." A long spear appeared in Jiang Ye's hand, and he continued to study spear techniques.

While Jiang Ye was re-immersed in his marksmanship.

The entire Hakuryu University remained peaceful and serene, just as it had always been.

However, in the forty provinces of the Blue Star Federation and around the world, shadow calamities of varying levels are erupting.

Countless Shadow Clan members emerged from their ranks.

A large number of powerful beings from Earth are fighting day and night.

Besides the Shadow Clan, the 'Hidden Organization,' which usually hides in obscure places, also began to revive during this period.

A large number of members of the Hidden Organization are lurking in major cities, creating chaos.

The entire planet Earth was plunged into a state of utter chaos and suffering.

In a secluded, unknown space.

A large number of figures gathered here, all dressed in black robes, and exuding a faint, oppressive aura.

Despite the large number of people, the place was unusually quiet, as if everyone was waiting for something.

suddenly.

"boom!"

A powerful aura suddenly descended, its light dazzling, like a god descending from the heavens.

A figure dressed in purple robes landed in front of everyone. His face was not visible, but his aura was incredibly powerful.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

Everyone in the space bowed in respect.

"Greetings, Chief."

"Greetings, Chief!" the crowd said in unison.

That purple-robed figure was none other than the mastermind behind the Hidden Gods organization!
"Greetings, Chief." From the back of the crowd, a slightly petite figure was also staring at the purple-robed figure in front of her.

If Jiang Ye were here, he would definitely notice.

This petite figure was none other than Xia Qing, his old classmate from Ancheng No. 3 Middle School!

"Leader?" Xia Qing stared at the purple-robed man in front of her, her eyes filled with curiosity.

This was also the first time she had met the leader of the Hidden Organization.

For her, and for all members of the Hidden Organization.

The leader is incredibly mysterious; no one has ever seen his true face.

"Everyone."

"The meeting today is for two things," the purple-robed leader said in a low voice. "First, to continue advancing the 'chaos plan' in each province."

"Before the ultimate Shadow Calamity erupts, we must plunge Earth into the greatest possible chaos."

"Yes."

"Yes, leader," the members of the Hidden Gods organization replied in unison.

"Remember, our goal is not to destroy Earth."

"It is to give everyone a new lease on life," the purple-robed leader said in a deep voice, "to embrace true civilization!"

"Embrace civilization!" Many members of the Hidden Organization showed excitement.

follow closely.

"The second thing," the purple-robed leader continued, "is to add two more people to our 'chosen ones' list."

"The chosen ones?" Everyone was shocked.

The list of chosen ones is one of the most important tasks of the Hidden Organization.

Anyone who makes it onto this list will become their biggest target.

Currently, the vast majority of extraordinary talents are on this list.

"Who are the two leaders?" an elder asked curiously. "Could it be that another extraordinary talent has emerged?"

"No."

The leader said calmly, "These two are named Chen Zilu and Jiang Ye."

"They are all endowed with the talent of the Dao, but their strength is infinitely close to that of the extraordinary."

"Include these two in the list of chosen ones," the leader ordered. "It's much easier to target them than those with extraordinary talents."

"Yes!"

"Yes," many powerful members of the Hidden Gods organization responded.
