My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 363 The Eighth Level of the Martial Arts Ladder (Three Chapters Combined, Seeking Further Subscription)
"Eno."

"Judging from your cultivation level, it seems you have already broken through to the sixth level?" Qiu Cang suddenly said.

“Not bad.” Jiang Ye nodded slightly: “After leaving the ruins of civilization, I broke through to the sixth level.”

"Wow, that's fast!" Both Bai Jing and Qiu Zang couldn't help but exclaim.

Before the Battle of the Stars, Jiang Ye was only at the mid-stage of the fifth breakthrough.

How long has it been? Only two months.

Jiang Ye has already reached the sixth level of breakthrough. Such a cultivation speed is far superior to even those with extraordinary talents.

"correct."

Qiu Cang asked curiously, "Your level of understanding of heaven and earth should have reached the threshold of the quasi-eighth breakthrough, right?"

"Not quite at the Quasi-Eighth Breakthrough level," Jiang Ye shook his head and said, "Peak of the Seventh Breakthrough level."

During the battle of the stars, he was able to unleash the power of a near-eighth level because of the superposition of two mysteries of heaven and earth.

But in terms of level of understanding? He's still only at the peak of the seventh breakthrough.

"so."

“You will face no major obstacles once you reach the peak of the seventh breakthrough,” Qiu Zang said with emotion. “Only the requirement of the life level remains.”

"Mm." Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

After the sixth breakthrough, the primary focus of cultivation is on comprehending the universe, followed by understanding the level of life itself.

The reason is that the cultivation techniques practiced at the sixth breakthrough stage, whether they are heaven-level techniques or higher, all require the mysteries of heaven and earth as their core in order to continue cultivation.

"Regarding the Six Breaks."

“Methods like Starry Sky Refinement are no longer sufficient to elevate one’s life level, because the physical body has already reached its peak at the fifth breakthrough.” Jiang Ye thought to himself, “After the sixth breakthrough, we can only start with the mysteries of heaven and earth and cultivation methods.”

Jiang Ye's level of understanding of the universe far surpasses his own realm.

However, his True God Scripture is still at the early stage of the Six Breakthroughs.

Therefore, all he needs to do next is cultivate the True God Scripture, and he will be able to break through to the peak of the seventh level without encountering any bottlenecks in the process.

It sounds like it's nothing.

But for others, the process from the sixth breakthrough to the seventh breakthrough is extremely difficult and involves countless hardships.

More than 90% of those who break through to the sixth level will be stuck at the threshold of the seventh level and will never be able to break through.

No bottlenecks?

If other sixth-level powerhouses heard this, they would probably be envious to the point of madness.

"Eno."

"When you're ready to break through to the seventh level, you can go to the 'Law Realm' to break through," the white whale reminded you. "Staying there will not only greatly increase your success rate in breaking through, but also accelerate your cultivation speed."

"The Laws of Heaven and Earth?" Jiang Ye nodded and said, "The Federation's top-tier opportunity zone?"

The Li family demigod had mentioned this before.

"good."

"The Law-Based World is one of the three top-tier opportunities in the Federation," said the White Whale. "It is also the most important training ground for Seven-Breakthrough experts."

"When breaking through the seventh level, one condenses the Dharma image of heaven and earth, which will attract a large amount of energy from heaven and earth."

"On our Blue Star, the energy of heaven and earth is actually quite thin, insufficient to condense a Dharma image that is more than ten thousand meters long."

“But in the ‘Law-based World,’ the energy of heaven and earth is extremely concentrated,” the white whale said. “Not to mention ten thousand meters, even a ten-thousand-foot Dharma Image can be condensed.”

"A ten-thousand-meter Dharma Form?" Jiang Ye asked in confusion, "Don't seventh-level experts condense a thousand-meter Dharma Form?"

“It’s a thousand meters,” the white whale laughed. “But that’s only the minimum requirement for the seventh breakthrough.”

"If your understanding of the universe is high enough, you can condense a higher Dharma form."

"Know that the higher the Dharma Image you condense when you break through to the seventh level, the greater the benefits you will receive." The white whale smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."

"I see." Jiang Ye suddenly realized.

According to Principal White Whale, if a higher Dharma form can be condensed, the transformation gained after the seventh breakthrough will be even greater.

Unconsciously, a sense of anticipation arose in Jiang Ye's heart.

He has comprehended the five fundamental mysteries; I wonder how high a Dharma form he will be able to condense in the future.

How much benefit will we gain?

Next, the white whale introduced Jiang Ye to some of the rules and benefits of the 'Law World'.

Within the laws of nature, the energy of heaven and earth is as rich as water.

Martial artists who cultivate within it not only accelerate their cultivation speed but also significantly enhance their ability to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth.

The only fly in the ointment is.

This law of heaven and earth can only be opened once a year, and each time it lasts for only two months.

"The next time the Laws Realm will open will be in six months."

"Jiang Ye, cultivate diligently." The white whale's eyes were filled with expectation: "Strive to break through to the Quasi-Seventh Breakthrough realm within the next six months."

“Okay.” Jiang Ye said confidently.

Qiu Zang, standing to the side, looked utterly helpless.

Within six months, how did he advance from the initial stage of the sixth breakthrough to the near-seventh breakthrough?
Only Jiang Ye dared to say these words. If it were any other person with extraordinary talent, they would probably curse upon hearing such a request.

"Anyway."

"You must seize every opportunity to improve," the white whale said solemnly. "There are still two years left in the race for civilizations to advance."

"During this period of time."

"The more you improve, the greater your advantage will be when civilizations clash." The beluga whale said solemnly.

A contest between civilizations? Jiang Ye's expression also froze.

He had heard this story many times.

Why are the competitions so fierce among such exceptionally talented individuals as Zhou Xingkong, Chu Jingye, and Wang Feifan in this year's All-Star Battle?
It's all about vying for the destiny of civilization!

The winner will receive a massive boost of civilizational fortune when the civilization competition begins.

"What exactly is this competition between civilizations?" Jiang Ye asked curiously. "Is it about fighting against other civilizations?"

"good."

"The struggle between civilizations is not just your business; we, the older generation, must also participate," the white whale solemnly said. "This is a major event concerning the entire civilization; even demigods will participate."

"But the decisive factor was not us, the older generation of strong individuals."

“On the contrary, it’s you young generation that are the problem,” the white whale remarked.

Jiang Ye couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"I don't know the reason," said the white whale. "It has been this rule since ancient times."

"but."

"The future of civilization depends on you young people," the white whale laughed. "In that sense, it makes sense."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

He once asked Bai Gui about the competition between civilizations.

Even Bai Gui didn't know where this civilization's struggle for supremacy came from, as if this grand event had already occurred at the beginning of the universe.

No one knows its origin or purpose.

But at least for now, the competition among civilizations is ultimately a good thing for countless civilizations, at least providing them with avenues for advancement.

"correct."

"Speaking of the competition between civilizations," Qiu Zang suddenly asked, "Jiang Ye, did you give the advancement treasure to Xiao Chen?"

“Of course I gave it to you,” Jiang Ye nodded.

"what?"

"This is bad." Qiu Zang's expression suddenly changed.

The beluga whale's pupils contracted, and its expression changed drastically.

"Teacher? Principal Bai?" Jiang Ye was taken aback by this scene: "What's going on here?"

Did he do something wrong by helping Chen Zilu improve her talent?

"It doesn't matter."

"It's alright if he advances to the extraordinary realm," the white whale sighed. "It's just that our Blue Star will be missing a Dao Bone combatant."

"Principal, what do you mean?" Jiang Ye asked, increasingly puzzled.

Is extraordinary combat power really inferior to Dao Bone combat power?

"Jiang Ye, you don't know."

“In the struggle between civilizations, the Daoist essence and the extraordinary are separate,” Qiu Zang explained. “They are two different battlefields.”

"Chen Zilu possesses invincible Daoist bones; she can play a significant role in the Daoist bone battlefield."

"But what if we're assigned to the extraordinary battlefield?"

"Among the extraordinary beings of other civilizations, there are many monstrous talents." Qiu Zang shook his head and sighed, "Little Chen, on the contrary, will fall into the inferior category."

Jiang Ye finally realized.

It turns out that the battle between civilizations is based on the different endowments they possess!

"Are there many extraordinary beings among the superhumans of other civilizations?" Jiang Ye frowned and pondered.

He was aware of his teacher's concerns.

As a Dao Bone, Chen Zilu possesses formidable strength, placing her firmly in the top tier even compared to the invincible Dao Bone of a first-level civilization.

However, once she advances to the extraordinary level, according to the classification of extraordinary levels, Chen Zilu will instantly become just another ordinary person among those of the same level.

"No wonder other civilizations value the invincible Dao bone so much."

"There must be some reason behind the competition between civilizations," Jiang Ye thought with a growing sense of understanding.

"Row."

“There’s no need to worry about that,” said the white whale. “Since Xiao Chen has been promoted, that’s a good thing.”

There's no need to feel sorry about it.

Jiang Ye and Qiu Zang both nodded.

In any case, Earth has gained another extraordinary combatant.

"Eno."

"My expectation of you is," the white whale said solemnly, "to reach the eighth level of breakthrough before the Civilization Race!"

"Eightfold Break?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

He then smiled and said, "Principal, you're underestimating me, aren't you?"

This is by no means an arrogant statement.

How long did it take Jiang Ye to go from the first breakthrough to the sixth breakthrough? Only two years.

Jiang Ye is confident that he can reach a higher level in the next two years.

But the beluga whale shook its head.

"Looking down on it?"

“No, I’ve already exaggerated as much as I could,” the white whale said seriously. “If you can truly achieve the eighth breakthrough within two years, it would be nothing short of a miracle in the history of Blue Star.”

Jiang Ye was stunned.

Is it that exaggerated?
"Little guy, you're making really fast progress."

“But after the seventh breakthrough, every small step forward becomes extremely difficult.” White Whale said solemnly, “Like your teacher Qiu, who was already at the eighth breakthrough twenty years ago.”

"He hasn't made much progress so far."

"Principal," Qiu Zang said helplessly, "why don't you use yourself as an example?"

"Haha."

“Me too.” The white whale shook its head and laughed, “It’s been the same for decades, and I haven’t made any progress.”

Jiang Ye's expression turned serious: "Is it really that difficult after the seventh breakthrough?"

This is due to a high level of understanding of heaven and earth.

In Jiang Ye's view, it wouldn't necessarily take much effort for him to reach the eighth or even ninth level of breakthrough.

But after hearing what the principal said, it seems that it's not that simple.

"Do you know the requirements for breaking through to the eighth and ninth levels?" the white whale asked.

"I'd like to hear the details," Jiang Ye said.

White Whale Way:
"To achieve the Seven Breakthroughs, one must comprehend a trace of the mysteries of heaven and earth."

"To achieve the Eightfold Path, one must comprehend a wisp of the mysteries of heaven and earth."

"To achieve success and break through, one must comprehend a profound mystery of heaven and earth."

Jiang Ye fell into deep thought.

He noticed the beluga's choice of words.

A thread, a strand, a kind.

"Intricately linked."

"A strand is equal to ten strands."

"The condition for the eighth breakthrough is to master ten times the profound insights of the seventh breakthrough," said the white whale. "As for the ninth breakthrough, it requires mastering a hundred times the profound insights of the eighth breakthrough."

Jiang Ye was taken aback.

He knew that the ten or hundred times mentioned by the white whale was by no means a standard of combat strength.

As one's mastery of the mysteries of heaven and earth increases, one's combat power increases exponentially.

For example, the first tier of 'Domination Domain' only increases the ability to control the world by 50%, yet Jiang Ye's combat power has already increased several times.

What if the control over heaven and earth increased tenfold? Unimaginable.

"No wonder." "From the seventh breakthrough to the eighth breakthrough, and from the eighth breakthrough to the ninth breakthrough," Jiang Ye sighed, "the difference is too great."

He now understood why the White Whale said that things would be so difficult after the Seventh Breakthrough.

Although Jiang Ye's understanding of the mysteries of fire and earth had reached the peak of the seventh breakthrough, he estimated that he had only comprehended the 'five strands' at most.

It's still halfway to reach the standard of "one strand" in the eighth stage.

Without the help of the flame of civilization, Jiang Ye's attempt to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth will inevitably be much more difficult.

"Don't be discouraged."

“Your current understanding of the universe has reached the peak of the seventh breakthrough,” the white whale said. “There’s no rush. Let’s raise your own life level first.”

"Understood." Jiang Ye nodded.

But inwardly he sighed.

Not in a hurry? Absolutely not.

With only two years left until the "civilizational race," two years may seem like a long time, but if you really work hard, it will only be a moment.

After reaching the sixth breakthrough, each period of secluded cultivation would often last for half a month or even several months.

Like Jiang Ye, who had grasped the profound mystery, he could open and close his eyes for more than half a month without even realizing it.

"I must speed up my cultivation." Jiang Ye made up his mind.

Even setting aside the issue of civilizational competition.

He also wanted to break through to the ninth level as soon as possible and become a true top powerhouse on Blue Star.

Only then will he have the energy to do some things.

Unlike now, when we can only passively defend against behemoths like the Zhou and Chu families, we are now constrained and unable to act freely.

"headmaster."

"Teacher," Jiang Ye suddenly said, "I plan to go into seclusion for the next six months and need an absolutely quiet environment."

"Seclusion?" Qiu Zang asked in surprise.

“Yes.” Jiang Ye said, “The time is uncertain, it may last for several months, and during this period I hope that no one will disturb me.”

"it is good."

“I’ll make the arrangements,” White Whale said immediately. “Our White Dragon University has many underground secret chambers that are completely isolated from the outside world, making them suitable for secluded cultivation.”

"Thank you, Principal Bai." Jiang Ye's expression brightened with joy.

soon.

Jiang Ye left behind hundreds of advancement treasures and then drifted away from the principal's office.

In the office.

"Old Qiu, you're talking about Jiang Ye," the white whale said, squinting, "Can he become a demigod?"

"Demi god?"

Qiu Zang was startled, then looked helplessly at the beluga whale.

Principal Bai, you really dare to speak out!

Even Jiang Ye's teacher didn't dare to say that Jiang Ye could become a demigod.

"Jiang Ye has such a talent for understanding the world, so becoming a Nine-Break is not difficult for him," Qiu Cang said thoughtfully. "But becoming a demigod? The conditions are too demanding."

"Looking at the blue planet."

"How many extraordinary beings have been born over the past few centuries?" Qiu Zang sighed, "but only a handful have truly become demigods."

The implication.

Becoming a demigod? Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!
“However, this kid has always liked to create miracles.” Qiu Zanghu laughed again, “Among the students of this year at Bailong University, he should have the greatest chance of reaching that level.”

“Indeed.” The beluga whale nodded.

"Six Breakthroughs is still too weak."

“The situation is turbulent right now,” White Whale sighed. “Our mission is to protect geniuses like Jiang Ye as much as possible so that they can grow up smoothly into the era of civilizational competition.”

"We just need to hold on for these two years!"

"Then they can fly freely like birds in the sky."

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling a heavy pressure.

The world will be vast two years from now, and those two years will be just as difficult.

You must! You have to pull through.

After leaving the principal's office, Jiang Ye quickly received a reply from Principal Baijing.

"An underground secret room? Location information?" Jiang Ye opened it to check.

Quickly.

Whoosh! Jiang Ye transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for the depths of Bailong University.

We passed through a series of enormous, star-like buildings.

Finally, Jiang Ye arrived at a black building that resembled a cave and went inside, entering an elevator.

"Descend, five hundredth floor underground." Jiang Ye pressed the button.

Rumble! The elevator plummeted downwards.

"Whoosh!" A strong feeling of weightlessness came over him, but fortunately, it would not have any effect on Jiang Ye at this time.

Just seconds later.

"Boom!" The elevator doors opened, spewing out white steam.

Jiang Ye strode out.

After passing through a long, dark passageway, a secret room with a metal structure came into view.

“A separate, sealed chamber located three thousand meters underground.” Jiang Ye looked around. “Completely isolated from the outside world? Not bad.”

This is exactly the kind of environment he wants.

Rumble~ The door to the secret room slammed shut.

"Everything is ready."

"Next, it's time to enter the Martial Arts Ladder for the assessment." Jiang Ye felt a surge of excitement.

Since returning from the ancient ruins, he has been busy visiting his senior sister, his parents, and his teachers.

The purpose is to be able to focus on the Martial Arts Ladder Assessment in the coming period of time.

In this assessment, the time flow will be consistent with reality.

How long will it take? Jiang Ye didn't know either.

"Hopefully, it can be finished within six months," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

Six months later, the Laws of Heaven and Earth opened.

If he really can't catch up, Jiang Ye will have no choice but to give up.

"correct."

"I haven't had time to fully digest the legacy of the True God Qiu Fang yet," Jiang Ye sensed briefly.

He could sense that many of the inheritances from the True God Qiu Fang were extremely amazing and could bring him great benefits.

Books like "The Laws of Heaven and Earth" and "The Combination of the Five Fundamental Mysteries" are extremely beneficial for gaining profound insights.

"Not urgent."

"Understanding these things will take a lot of time," Jiang Ye pondered. "Knowledge is as vast as the sea; it can't be grasped in a short time."

"Let's conduct the Heavenly Ladder assessment first."

The legacy of the True God Qiu Fang is incredibly complex; even reading it from beginning to end would probably take more than half a year.

Not to mention trying to understand each one individually, the workload would be incredibly staggering.

Think about this.

"The Martial Arts Ladder." Jiang Ye closed his eyes, and his consciousness instantly sank into darkness.

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

Ascend to the seventh level of the Martial Arts Ladder.

[Your abilities have reached the standard for the eighth level. Please proceed to the eighth level for further assessment.]

[Note: The assessment for level eight is the same as that for level seven, but the difficulty differs. If you pass the level eight assessment, the assessment rewards will be awarded cumulatively.]

Two lines of text appeared.

"Go to the eighth floor?"

"The seventh and eighth levels test the same thing," Jiang Ye pondered. "Is it just that the difficulty level is different?"

What form of assessment is this?

With these questions in mind, Jiang Ye went straight up to the eighth level of the Martial Arts Ladder.

It's not difficult at all.

You are about to enter a god-level assessment. The assessment time is synchronized with the flow of real time. If you are prepared, you can begin the assessment.

"The flow of time is still consistent with reality," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

"Let's begin," Jiang Ye thought to himself without the slightest hesitation.

call!
The next moment, his consciousness suddenly sank into darkness.

When Jiang Ye opened his eyes again, he had arrived in a completely different world.

Just as Jiang Ye entered the Martial Arts Ladder assessment.

The white whale, carrying hundreds of treasures for upgrading endowments, has arrived at the Federation headquarters to report the matter to the Alliance Leader of Qitian.

Shortly after.

An order was issued from the Federation headquarters: "Convene the Federation Supreme Conference. All demigod-level powerhouses are to attend."

Of course, this order isolated the Zhou family's demigods from the outside world.

"really."

"Although the Alliance Leader of Qitian is in seclusion, he is still secretly observing the outside world," White Whale thought to himself, feeling a sense of relief.

With the alliance leader present, things will be much easier from here on out.

Soon, all the demigods arrived at the Federation headquarters.

A huge conference room.

The white whale sat upright, his face tense. Apart from him, everyone else here was a demigod.

Even as the president of Hakuryu University, this was the first time he had attended such a meeting.

At this time.

"Whoosh!" A large amount of light converged, forming an elegant figure in a white robe, who landed at the head of the group.

"Alliance leader."

"Alliance Leader," all the demigods stood up and said.

"Hmm." The Alliance Leader of Qitian said slowly, "I am at a critical stage and it is inconvenient for me to come in my true form."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Such a high-level meeting should, in principle, be attended in person. However, Qi Tian, ​​as the one who set the rules, is naturally an exception.

"Alliance Leader, what happened?" the Li family demigod couldn't help but ask, "The Supreme Council has been suddenly convened."

The other demigods nodded, all looking at Qi Tian with suspicion.

"White Whale, you tell us," Qi Tian said.

All eyes immediately turned to a corner.

"Alliance leader."

"Esteemed demigods," the white whale said, rising to his feet, "you should all know about Jiang Ye's recent advancement to a transcendent talent, right?"

"know."

"Of course we know." Many demigods nodded, and many of them had a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).

Original talent, ascending to the extraordinary?
This completely shattered their understanding.

But since things had come to this point, no one had any doubts.

“Now, I have hundreds of treasures that can help two hundred people elevate their talents to the extraordinary level,” the white whale continued.

These words were like a depth charge, instantly causing an uproar in the entire conference room.

"what?"

Two hundred people? Elevated to the extraordinary level?

"How did they get here?" All the demigods were shocked.

Upon seeing this, the beluga whale quickly recounted the incident in detail.

Soon, the demigods present learned the whole story.

"A treasure that can enhance one's talents?"

"Did Jiang Ye bring all of these out of the ancient ruins?"

"More than two hundred more extraordinary beings?" Many demigods showed expressions of shock.

They knew how precious these treasures were.

Jiang Ye actually produced so much all at once?
This! This! This is simply unbelievable.

suddenly.

"Where is the Zhou family demigod? Why didn't he come?" the Chu family demigod suddenly asked.

"I didn't let him come," the Alliance Leader Qi Tian said calmly.
