My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 321 An Unexpected Performance (Three-in-One, Please Subscribe)
"Jiang Ye, I'll take you to participate in the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements," Chen Zilu said, standing up.

"Okay." Jiang Ye stood up as well.

One of the important goals of my visit to the Chen family for their birthday banquet was this.

Starry Sky Refinement!

According to Chen Zilu, this was a major opportunity for him to break through the fifth level of breakthrough.

“Come with me,” Chen Zilu said.

boom!
The two transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the depths of the clan.

Rumble!
Deep within the floating mountains, a colossal pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky, spanning a thousand meters in width and radiating astonishing energy fluctuations.

"Whoosh~" The wave spread out like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire Chen family area.

next moment.

call out!call out!call out!
One after another, figures flew into the sky.

"It's the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements!"

"The Starry Sky Refinement has begun?"

"We've finally waited for this day." Many members of the Chen family were extremely excited as they watched this scene.

The Starry Sky Refinement event can only be accessed once a year.

Each opening is an opportunity for many powerful members of the Chen family.

Just as many powerful figures were getting excited.

"Chen Haoyue, Chen Feng, Chen Qian." An aged voice rang out, echoing slowly: "You shall proceed to the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements immediately."

Upon hearing this voice, the members of the Chen family all showed respect.

This is the voice of our ancestor!
At the same time, three figures soared into the sky, exuding an incomparably powerful aura.

"Yes, Ancestor." They bowed to the heavens and earth in a distant salute, as if they were paying homage to their ancestor.

These three are the three top talents in the Chen family, second only to Chen Zilu.

Chen Haoyue, Chen Feng, Chen Qian.

"Why are there only three of us?"

"The Starry Sky Hundred Refinements has been opened and can accommodate five people. There are only four of us, including the three of us and Chen Zilu."

"Who is the other person?" Chen Haoyue and the other two asked amongst themselves.

"Go ahead."

call out!call out!call out!
Three streaks of light streaked across the sky, flying towards the enormous pillar of light ahead.

"Let's go take a look too."

"The Starry Sky Refinement has begun. The leaked energy is beneficial for cultivation. Hurry up and claim a spot."

"Hurry up!" Many members of the Chen family transformed into streaks of light and followed.

at the same time.

Jiang Ye and Chen Zilu have entered the area of ​​light pillars.

A beam of light pierced the sky, surrounded by countless illusory stars. These stars slowly rotated, dazzling the eye. From afar, it looked like a beam of light piercing through the endless starry sky.

Endless starlight enveloped the area for miles around, creating a magnificent spectacle.

"Ok?"

“These starlight?” Jiang Ye’s expression suddenly changed.

The instant he entered the starlight region.

He sensed that strands of mystical energy were entering his body.

Under the influence of those mystical energies, Jiang Ye's physical body began to undergo some strange changes.

"My life level is rising?" Jiang Ye was secretly surprised.

"This is the entrance to the Starry Sky Refinement," Chen Zilu said. "As long as you are within the range of starlight, your life level will be slowly improved."

"Incredible," Jiang Ye exclaimed in amazement.

Such wondrous things have already occurred even before the trial has truly begun.

This made Jiang Ye even more convinced.

The Starry Sky Hundred Refinements is absolutely a divine opportunity.

"When do we go in?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.

"Wait for the Ancestor to arrive," Chen Zilu said.

"Okay." Jiang Ye nodded slightly; he wasn't in a hurry.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Streaks of light streaked across the sky as many members of the Chen family rushed toward them.

The opening of the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements is also an opportunity for many powerful members of the Chen family.

Just moments later.

Hundreds of powerful individuals have already arrived in the Starlight Region.

Chen Haoyue, Chen Feng, and Chen Qian were among them, standing in mid-air, waiting quietly.

"Look over there."

"Jiang Ye? What's he doing here?"

"Could it be?" Chen Haoyue and the other two exchanged glances and frowned.

The Starry Sky Hundred Refinements is the Chen family's most core secret.

In principle, outsiders should not be allowed to approach.

But a chief official from outside the family does indeed have this right.

However, Jiang Ye's appearance made them suspect that he was not just there to watch.

"His arrival must have been approved by the ancestor."

"The three of us shouldn't overthink it," Chen Qian said calmly. Despite her beautiful appearance, she held considerable sway among the three.

Upon hearing her speak, Chen Haoyue and Chen Feng both obediently shut their mouths.

In fact, it wasn't just the three of them.

The other members of the Chen family also noticed Jiang Ye's presence.

The Chen family members had different expressions and were communicating with each other using telepathy.

Jiang Ye has become the head of the Chen family, and in terms of status, he is higher than most members of the Chen family.

Therefore, most people dare not speak out against it.

Several tens of seconds later.

"boom!"

A powerful aura descended, and a figure in white robes appeared—it was Chen Jiuxuan, the patriarch of the Chen family.

Accompanying him were Chen Fang and many other elders of the Chen family.

Chen Jiuxuan and the elders stood high in the sky, exuding an incomparably powerful aura.

"See Ancestor."

"Greetings, Ancestor." Jiang Ye, Chen Zilu, and many other members of the Chen family bowed in respect.

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

“Each time it is opened, it requires a huge cost,” Chen Jiuxuan said slowly. “Therefore, those who enter should try to climb to a higher level.”

Jiang Ye's heart stirred.

He knew that his ancestor was speaking to him.

The rules of the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements are certainly known to the other powerful members of the Chen family.

"The Starry Sky Hundred Trials consist of a total of one hundred trials."

"The higher the level, the greater the difficulty," Chen Jiuxuan explained. "You should proceed according to your abilities. If you die in it, it will be a true death, and I will not be able to save you."

"Throughout history, our Chen family has had no shortage of geniuses who died in such incidents."

Jiang Ye felt a chill run down his spine.

The Starry Sky Refinement also carries the risk of death? Chen Zilu had not mentioned this before.

"Don't worry," Chen Zilu transmitted her voice, "If you feel strained, just quit when the time is right. The risk of death is not very high."

"Since this is your first time entering, you can take your time and don't need to rush through the challenges. There is no time limit for the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements."

"It's not too late to start trying to pass the level after you get used to the mechanics," Chen Zilu advised.

"Understood." Jiang Ye nodded.

soon.

After Chen Jiuxuan finished explaining the general rules, he slowly turned around and looked at the huge pillar of light.

"Open!" Chen Jiuxuan pointed.

In an instant, a golden light burst forth from his fingertips and shot into the towering pillar of light.

next moment.

boom! boom! boom.
One after another, beams of light, radiating immense energy, emerged from the pillar of light.

There are a total of five light gates.

"Jiang Ye, Chen Zilu, Chen Haoyue, Chen Feng, Chen Qian."

"Enter immediately!" Chen Jiuxuan shouted.

"Yes, Ancestor," Chen Haoyue and the other two replied in unison.

Immediately, they transformed into three streams of light and entered one of the three light gates.

"Let's go in too," Chen Zilu said.

"Mm." Jiang Ye nodded.

The two transformed into two streaks of light and flew towards the other two gates of light.

Rumble!
As the five people entered one after another, the five light gates suddenly emitted a strong fluctuation before closing with a bang.

It felt as if I had been transported to another world.

"It really is Jiang Ye?"

"The Ancestor actually allowed Jiang Ye to enter the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements?"

"Are you kidding me?" Many members of the Chen family were astonished.

Even though he is the chief of the Chen family, he is still an outsider.

Allowing an outsider into the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements? This has never happened before in the history of the Chen family.

"Father!"

“Shouldn’t this spot have been mine?” A young man in black armor looked at Chen Fang. He was Chen Fang’s eldest son, Chen Jue.

At this moment, his face was full of resentment, and he transmitted his voice, "Why did the Ancestor give the spot to someone with a different surname?"

"Shut up!" Chen Fang snapped. "How dare you question the Ancestor's decision? Don't you value your life?"

“Father, I’m using telepathy; the Ancestor can’t hear me,” Chen Jue said through gritted teeth.

"With the Ancestor's supernatural powers, do you really think the Ancestor can't sense it?" Chen Fang coldly retorted.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jue was immediately startled.

He quickly looked in the direction of the ancestor, and saw that Chen Jiuxuan was indeed looking in his direction with a cold gaze.

"Father, I was wrong," Chen Jue quickly transmitted his voice, "I shouldn't have questioned the Ancestor's decision."

"Enough, shut up!" Chen Fang snapped.

After Chen Jue obediently shut up.

Chen Fang looked at Chen Jiuxuan, feeling quite unwilling as well.

The spot for this Starry Sky Hundred Refinements should have been given to his eldest son.

But who could have imagined that Jiang Ye would suddenly appear out of nowhere?

However, there's nothing we can do about it.

Why is it that Chen Jue's talent is inferior to that of Chen Haoyue, Chen Feng, and Chen Qian?
"Humph."

"Jiang Ye, I'd like to see." Chen Fang sneered inwardly, "Just how capable are you to earn the old ancestor's high regard?"

Chen Fang naturally dared not disobey the ancestor's orders.

But Jiang Ye?
It's one thing for a little guy with innate talent to be so devoted to Chen Zilu, but to be so highly regarded by the ancestor.

Although Chen Fang didn't say anything on the surface, he was still somewhat resentful inside.

After entering the light gate.

Jiang Ye seemed to have entered a time tunnel, surrounded by five colorful lights.

After a rapid journey.

boom!
Jiang Ye's figure crashed into a void.

"Is this the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements?" Jiang Ye looked around.

Nothingness.

Nothing.

Just as Jiang Ye was having some doubts.

[The Starry Sky Trial is about to begin; we are currently matching you with suitable opponents.]

Please wait.

"Matching?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

He originally thought that the Starry Sky Hundred Refinements would be like the Starry Sea Divine Path, requiring him to overcome various challenges.

But now it seems that there are significant differences between the two.

Just as Jiang Ye was pondering.

suddenly.

[Matching successful]

boom!
Jiang Ye's consciousness sank, and he felt as if he were being swept up by an invisible force, soaring into the sky as if traversing endless distances.

After that
They descended into a strange space.

Before Jiang Ye could even stand still, a dizzying sensation washed over him—the vertigo caused by being instantly transported to a different environment.

Because the distance traveled was extremely far, the dizziness was exceptionally intense. If it were an ordinary second or third-level expert, they probably wouldn't be able to adapt in a short time.

But Jiang Ye quickly came to his senses.

"Where is this?" Jiang Ye looked around.

It was dark all around.

A faint starlight twinkled overhead. The shadow of a massive celestial body could be vaguely seen, suspended in the sky, exuding an ancient aura.

Reaching the 'Otherworld Stars' signifies passing the trial.

A subtitle appeared. Then...

Swish! Swish! Swish!
One after another, figures appeared in this strange space. They had different appearances and clearly came from different races and civilizations.

There is only one similarity.

Everyone's life force was identical to Jiang Ye's.

Late stage of fourth breakthrough!
"Reaching the other side of the stars?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but look at the huge and ancient celestial shadow in the sky.

Racing? That sounds interesting!
Just as Jiang Ye was surprised, someone had already risen from the ground and shot towards the celestial body in the sky.

"Charge!" Jiang Ye was not willing to fall behind. He moved and transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky.

"There are dozens of trial participants in total."

"Are these people all real people?" Jiang Ye's eyes flashed as he confirmed the talents of the others through the system panel.

They are all endowed with the qualities of a Daoist.

"Reach the other side of the stars." Jiang Ye recalled the subtitles he had just seen: "Does that mean I have to reach that celestial body to pass the trial?"

Think of this.

"Boom!" Jiang Ye unleashed his full power, shooting straight into the sky like a rocket.

Rate control, 200%!
Given Jiang Ye's current base speed, doubling it would be an extremely exaggerated feat.

In a single instant, he overtook more than a dozen people.

at this time.

"Go down." A powerful alien being above Jiang Ye suddenly swung his sword at Jiang Ye.

"Whoosh!" The blade flashed like lightning, instantly splitting into dozens of blade beams, each radiating a pressure powerful enough to threaten a late-stage fourth-stage cultivator.

This is clearly a signature move, a move from a late-stage fourth-level powerhouse!

Extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the Jiangye below.

"Get lost!" A jet-black spear appeared in Jiang Ye's hand, and he swept it out horizontally.

There are no fancy moves.

They didn't even use star energy.

Just like that, a single, incredibly simple shot swept everything away!
With a "whoosh," the spear swept past, crushing all the dozens of blade beams that came slashing towards it with overwhelming force.

A single, ordinary shot! Instantly crushes a deadly move.

"With this kind of strength, you dare to attack me?"

"You're asking for death." Jiang Ye snorted coldly, fired his gun, and swept out with another shot.

The spear shot out like a dragon, leaving a white trail in the void.

It appears simple, yet it exudes an extremely terrifying aura.

"What? This is bad!" The alien expert's expression changed drastically. He never expected that he would provoke such a powerful enemy.

Before he could do anything to defend himself, the gunshot had already magnified rapidly in his pupils.

"Pfft~!"

The spear pierced through his head, and with a shockwave from the spear, this late-stage fourth-level alien instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

This is god-level marksmanship!

Against opponents of the same level at the Dao Bone level, there's no need to even use Star Energy.

With just a simple shot, he can be killed instantly.

"Too weak, not even possessing the Invincible Dao Bone." Jiang Ye shook his head.

He hadn't intended to make a move, but since the other party had come to him on their own initiative, he naturally wouldn't show any mercy.

At this time.

"Ok?"

"The expansion of territory has taken effect?" Jiang Ye's expression suddenly changed as he glanced at the panel.

[Expanding Territories: When conquering other races, within a 100-meter radius centered on you, all attributes of you and your teammates will increase by 30% (+1%).]

"did not expect."

"Can territorial expansion also take effect in this trial space?" Jiang Ye's gaze was quite peculiar.

This made him realize that this trial space was not a figment of imagination.

It's a truly exotic environment!
"Starry Sky Refinement has teleported me to some other realm?" Jiang Ye thought to himself, "Such a method is truly miraculous."

In the past, Jiang Ye had to travel through the Starry Sky Passage to reach other civilizations.

But this time? The situation is completely different.

"Charge!" Jiang Ye moved like lightning, continuing to fly towards the ancient celestial body above.

But soon.

"Alien?"

"Die!" Another alien attacked Jiang Ye, unleashing a barrage of deadly attacks that rained down on him.

This time, it wasn't just one person; multiple powerful alien beings attacked Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye frowned slightly and blocked them one by one with his gun.

"These alien races."

"What's going on?" Jiang Ye wondered, somewhat puzzled. "Why did they specifically target me?"

The alien races that attacked him were not from the same ethnic group.

However, they didn't actually fight each other; instead, they attacked Jiang Ye simultaneously with remarkable coordination.

Jiang Ye had never encountered a situation like this before.

“They may come from the same faction.” Bai Gui’s voice echoed in Jiang Ye’s mind.

"The same faction?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

How can it be?

They are clearly different races.

“You should know that in the universe, some powerful interstellar civilizations are able to tolerate other weaker civilizations,” Bai Gui said. “As long as the dominant civilization is powerful enough, then the multiple weaker civilizations under its command may be able to live in harmony.”

"Like the White Dragon Civilization."

“Back when my master was at the height of his power, he had many strong individuals from different races under his command, and they all lived in harmony,” Bai Gui explained.

"I see." Jiang Ye suddenly realized.

Followed by.

"In that case."

"Then let's kill all these alien races." A cold glint flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.

He didn't want to take action; he only wanted to complete the trial.

But since he was facing numerous obstacles, Jiang Ye naturally wouldn't hold back any longer.

"Kill!" Jiang Ye gripped his spear and charged out like a bolt of lightning.

Star energy circulates throughout the celestial sphere.

"Boom!" A powerful aura burst forth from Jiang Ye's body.

He unleashed his full power, his spear flashing like a star, and in the blink of an eye, he killed one of them.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Seeing this, the other powerful alien beings all moved towards this side and attacked Jiang Ye.

"Surround him."

"Formation!"

"Form the Sun-Covering Cloud and Smoke Formation." Many powerful alien beings, their eyes filled with killing intent, converged on Jiang Ye.

They joined forces, and a powerful energy subtly converged, forming an incredibly powerful array.

Seeing this, Jiang Ye couldn't help but agree even more with what Bai Gui had said.

These powerful beings from different races all come from the same faction!
"Alright."

"Then I'll have a good fight with you." Jiang Ye's gaze was cold, and he was not in a hurry to pass the trial.

As Chen Zilu said, there is no time limit here.

Once you reach that enormous celestial body, you've passed the trial.

Now it seems.

To pass the trial, one must kill these powerful alien beings.

"Kill!" Jiang Ye gripped his spear tightly and charged towards the numerous powerful alien warriors.

But in the next second.

"Buzz!"

Intense light erupted from the bodies of these powerful alien beings, and these lights seemed to be connected, forming a giant array.

As the formation solidified.

"Boom!" An incredibly terrifying sense of oppression descended upon them.

Like Mount Tai pressing down, it crashed down on Jiang Ye.

"This pressure?" Jiang Ye's eyes narrowed. The terrifying pressure emanating from the formation made even him feel a slight tremor.

"kill!"

"Kill!" The powerful alien warriors roared in unison, and countless beams of light condensed within the great formation.

Countless rays of light, like a rain of arrows, swept across the sky and covered the Jiangye region.

"Clang! Clang! Powerful!"

Jiang Ye wielded his spear to defend, and under the suppression of the formation, he felt considerable pressure for a time.

"This is only the first trial."

"How can it be so difficult?" Jiang Ye was filled with surprise and doubt. "At this level of difficulty, won't the later trials be as difficult as climbing to the sky?"

It wasn't that he was afraid of the difficulty; for Jiang Ye, he could slaughter this group of people at any time if he wanted to.

mainly.

The Starry Sky Trials consist of a total of one hundred trials!

If the first trial is this difficult, what about the ones that follow?

If it's really that difficult, how did Chen Zilu manage to get to sixty levels?

Or is his current situation different from Chen Zilu's?

"No matter what, let's get used to the current difficulty first." Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Ye's mind.

He felt it.

The formations formed by these powerful alien races, while putting him under immense pressure, were actually a good opportunity for him to hone his spear skills.

"Since the first trial is the simplest."

"Then I'll start with the simplest trial and hone my marksmanship step by step," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "I'll fight my way through each level!"

With this thought in mind, Jiang Ye felt a sense of peace.

He no longer sought to break through quickly, but instead used the pressure of the formation to continuously improve his marksmanship.

Clang! Clang! Clang!
Jiang Ye engaged in fierce battles with numerous powerful alien warriors, and during the battle, his marksmanship began to slowly improve.

outside world.

Under the starlight, hundreds of members of the Chen family sat cross-legged.

They are absorbing the energy of those stars.

This starlight can help them elevate their life level, and it is equally helpful even for those who have reached the seventh level of breakthrough.

"Look, Chen Zilu has already started the fourth trial."

"Truly worthy of being the strongest prodigy of my Chen family."

"Chen Haoyue, Chen Feng, and Chen Qian are still struggling in the second trial." Many powerful figures were meditating and cultivating while also paying attention to the huge projection screen in front of them.

This projected image was projected by the ancestor through some kind of divine means.

Although the scene of the trial space could not be seen.

However, it was possible to see several trial participants and their specific trial levels.

Where is Jiang Ye?

"He's still on the first floor?"

"Ten minutes have passed, and Jiang Ye still hasn't passed the first level?" Many members of the Chen family frowned secretly.

The ancestor values ​​Jiang Ye so highly, yet Jiang Ye's performance is somewhat unworthy of the ancestor's attention.

not far away.

"This Jiang Ye."

"Is this all the performance he deserves?" Chen Jue thought indignantly, "Why did the Ancestor give him my spot?"

If Jiang Ye's performance is truly outstanding, then he has nothing to say.

But what's the current situation?

Chen Zilu has already started the fourth trial, and Chen Haoyue and the other two have reached the second trial.

Jiang Ye, however, is still struggling in the first trial.

"This spot should have been mine." Chen Jue felt increasingly resentful.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another several tens of minutes passed.

Chen Zilu has passed the tenth trial.

Chen Haoyue, Chen Feng, and Chen Qian also passed the fifth trial.

Jiang Ye, however, is still struggling in the first trial.

"How could Jiang Ye be like this?" Chen Fang looked at the projected image, feeling incredulous.

Jiang Ye's performance was terrible!

They are truly unworthy of the ancestor's evaluation.

Not only him, but the other elders of the Chen family also had strange expressions.

Jiang Ye, whom the patriarch valued so highly, performed so poorly.

You're disgracing our ancestors!

at this time.

In the projected image, the red dot representing Jiang Ye finally changed.
