My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 366 Secrets! The Truth of the World (Three-in-One - Please Follow for More)
"One shot, and you've taken down a seventh-level expert?"

"Uncle Yan, isn't he only at the early stage of the sixth breakthrough?" Zhao Zixuan was shocked.

Just now, faced with that situation, even as a peak sixth-level cultivator, she couldn't find any hope.

That's why I decisively asked 'Uncle Yan' to lend a hand.

But what she didn't expect was.

Before Uncle Yan could make a move, Jiang Ye stepped forward first and unleashed such terrifying strength.

Notice.

That bandit at the seventh level of the wilderness had comprehended the mysteries of water at the late stage of the seventh level! But what happened? He was defeated in a single move.

"sharp."

"Your Highness, the lad you rescued is indeed very capable," Uncle Yan said telepathically. "If my guess is correct, he must have extraordinary talent."

"Extraordinary talent?" Zhao Zixuan was stunned.

Could there be extraordinary talents among the lowly tribes on this desolate plain?
“Even in low-level tribes, it is possible for extraordinary individuals to emerge, but the probability is very low,” Uncle Yan said.

Zhao Zixuan nodded.

Endowment has the property of genetic decay.

As the name suggests, two people with extraordinary talents have a higher probability of developing Daoist talent.

However, the probability of two people with Daoist innate talents developing extraordinary talents is almost zero.

Of course, it's only close to zero, not completely zero. In other words, it's possible for extraordinary beings to emerge.

“If it’s extraordinary, then it makes sense.”

“My sister, Zhao Zishuang, is exceptionally gifted.” Many thoughts flashed through Zhao Zixuan’s mind: “She had already grasped the mysteries of the peak of the seventh breakthrough during her sixth breakthrough period.”

He possessed extraordinary talent and was able to perceive the universe from a young age.

They comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, giving them a natural advantage over others.

"hey-hey."

"Your sister, Zhao Zishuang, is one of the top ten extraordinary talents in Obsidian City today," Uncle Yan said with emotion. "Wang Ye is good, but compared to her, he is probably still far behind."

"However, if he really comes from a low-level tribe, he does have great potential."

"We can get to know each other better," Uncle Yan said.

He has fully recognized Jiang Ye's potential.

Having grown to this extent in the wilderness, its future holds limitless possibilities if nurtured.

"When Wang Ye tries to break into the Black Tower, he will most likely be valued by one of the elders."

"Make it a good relationship in advance," Uncle Yan transmitted his voice. "He might become a great help to you in the future."

"Uncle Yan, really!" Zhao Zixuan said helplessly.

She had previously warned him to be wary of Jiang Ye, but now she was actually advising her to take the initiative to get to know him.

Jiang Ye was unaware of the conversation between Zhao Zixuan and Uncle Yan.

At this moment, he was examining the treasures left behind by the four bandits.

"Fifth-tier treasures, sixth-tier treasures."

"There are actually quite a few seventh-tier treasures?" Jiang Ye thought to himself, and he had already seen all the contents of the storage treasure.

Then, he gave a helpless smile.

"As expected of robbers, they have quite a few good things," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "Unfortunately, they're not very useful to me."

The vast majority of these treasures are used to help comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Only a small portion is used to elevate one's level of existence.

Jiang Ye's understanding of the mysteries of heaven and earth has reached the peak of the seventh level, so even seventh-tier treasures are useless to him.

Only those few treasures that elevate one's life level are of use to him.

At this time.

"Wang Ye."

"Thank you so much for what happened earlier." Zhao Zixuan stepped forward and said solemnly, "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. You can tell me anything you want."

"It's nothing," Jiang Ye waved his hand. "It's just a small favor."

Killing those four bandits was indeed an easy task for him.

After the battle just now, Jiang Ye has gained a clearer understanding of his own strength.

Below the seventh level of breakthrough, he can completely sweep through opponents.

Of course, if it's someone with extraordinary talent, that's another story. Those four bandits just now only had the talent of Dao bones.

Even when faced with a Seventh Breaker's extraordinary talent, Jiang Ye was confident.

It should be noted that he only used one of the mysteries of heaven and earth, yet he was able to kill a seventh-stage breakthrough cultivator with a single palm strike.

What if all five fundamental mysteries were revealed at once? Even Jiang Ye himself couldn't imagine it.

"Without further ado."

"Let's go," Jiang Ye said, not wanting to waste any more time.

"Okay." Zhao Zixuan nodded and quickly followed.

Unconsciously.

Her attitude towards Jiang Ye also underwent a subtle change.

Previously, Jiang Ye was just a little genius from a lowly tribe in her eyes. Although she suspected that Jiang Ye was not simple, she still looked down on him.

But now? She truly treats him as an equal, even with a hint of respect.

midair.

"Wang Ye."

"With your strength, you might be able to reach the seventh floor when you challenge the Black Tower." Zhao Zixuan's eyes were smiling. "If you are noticed by an elder, you will rise to prominence."

"Elder?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

"Oh, you don't know about Obsidian City yet."

Zhao Zixuan smiled and said, "Obsidian City, as one of the twelve prosperous ancient cities of Barbarian Dragon Star, covers an area of ​​tens of millions of square kilometers."

"The entire Obsidian City is revered by the supreme Obsidian City Lord."

"The Lord of Obsidian City is a god and the strongest being in the entire Obsidian City."

"Under the command of the Obsidian God, there are thirty-six demigod elders," Zhao Zixuan explained.

Jiang Ye listened.

He was learning all of this for the first time; even the black-armored youth had never told him.

“Thirty-six demigod elders are not the same as the demigods in those high-level tribes.”

"They are all demigods of the third rank or higher." Zhao Zixuan's eyes were filled with respect.

"Third level?"

Jiang Ye asked in confusion, "Is this the rank of a demigod?"

“It can be considered a rank,” Zhao Zixuan said, “but it can’t be considered entirely.”

Jiang Ye was somewhat bewildered.

"It seems you are still unaware of the power levels of demigods."

“That’s normal.” Zhao Zixuan smiled and said, “Even the strong in medium-sized tribes rarely come into contact with these things.”

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

"Demigod" is not actually a precise name for a realm.

“According to the ancient classification of realms, those above the ninth level are gods,” Zhao Zixuan said. “However, the difference between these two realms is too great.”

"Therefore, he later came to be known as a demigod."

"It is merely a milestone between the Ninth Breakthrough and the Divine Realm, not a true realm."

“In a sense, demigods are also part of the Nine Breakthroughs,” Zhao Zixuan said. “They are not completely outside the scope of the Nine Breakthroughs.”

Jiang Ye was deeply moved.

A demigod, also at the ninth level of breakthrough? This completely overturned his previous understanding.

"Don't be surprised."

"The requirement for breaking through to the ninth level is to comprehend a kind of mystery of heaven and earth." Zhao Zixuan looked at Jiang Ye and said, "And some demigods have only comprehended a kind of mystery of heaven and earth. There is no essential difference between the two."

"But the huge difference in strength is due to the different distances they have traveled on this path."

"Under normal circumstances."

“Those who take the second step in understanding the mysteries of heaven and earth are revered as demigods,” Zhao Zixuan said.

"The second step?" Jiang Ye looked at the girl with a puzzled expression.

"Correct."

“A ninth-level expert comprehends a profound mystery of heaven and earth.” Zhao Zixuan patiently explained, “Although it is called a kind of mystery, it does not actually mean that one has completely comprehended this mystery.”

"The universe is vast, and even a single mystery is endless."

"The reason why it is said that the Nine Breakthrough Realm experts have comprehended 'a profound mystery' is because they have truly embarked on this path and taken a small step." Zhao Zixuan said.

Therefore, we call it the "first step".

"And those who take the second step are the demigods."

“Don’t underestimate the difference of just one small step,” Zhao Zixuan said solemnly. “The difference between the two is often a hundredfold, which is why ‘demigod’ is classified separately.”

Jiang Ye suddenly realized.

The first step, the second step—it's all made up.

But in reality, taking this step is extremely difficult.

Civilizations like Earth believed that only those with extraordinary talents could become demigods, which shows just how difficult it was.

"The third-tier demigod you just mentioned," Jiang Ye asked curiously, "could it be a demigod powerhouse who has taken the third step?"

"good."

“The difference between the second and third steps is also enormous,” Zhao Zixuan said. “In the advanced tribes of the Wild Plains, most of those demigods are only second-tier demigods.”

"And Obsidian City?"

“All thirty-six elders under the Obsidian City Lord are demigods of the third rank or above,” Zhao Zixuan said. “There are even some fourth-rank demigods among them.”

"A fourth-order demigod?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but gasp.

The so-called fourth-order demigod is a powerful being who has taken the fourth step on a certain profound path.

According to Zhao Zixuan, with each step taken, the gap increases exponentially.

A fourth-order demigod?

Such a powerful being is probably not even a species compared to a second-tier demigod.

"She also left out one thing."

Bai Gui's voice suddenly rang out: "Even among second-tier demigods, the gap is enormous."

"Oh?" Jiang Ye's eyes flickered, and he immediately realized something.

Is it a difference in quantity that reveals the mysteries of heaven and earth?

"Correct."

"A demigod who comprehends one of the mysteries of heaven and earth is definitely different from one who comprehends two or three." Bai Gui said.

"Just like you."

"By comprehending the five fundamental mysteries, once you become a second-tier demigod, you will be able to rival an ordinary third-tier demigod," Bai Gui said solemnly.

Jiang Ye couldn't help but laugh.

indeed!

Besides the level of mystery, the number of mysteries is also extremely important.

Measuring combat strength is always a multi-dimensional and multi-faceted matter, and cannot be generalized.

"but."

“Understanding too many mysteries is not necessarily a good thing,” Bai Gui suddenly said. “The difficulty of taking the third and fourth steps will increase.”

Jiang Ye's smile froze.

Bai Gui's words made him realize something.

Even for ordinary demigods, it is incredibly difficult to take the third or fourth step, even if they have only comprehended one profound mystery.

Not to mention comprehending the second or third kind of mystery.

The difficulty will only increase exponentially.

But what about Jiang Ye?

He comprehended five fundamental mysteries! In addition, he also grasped the Law of Ashes.

"This?" Jiang Ye was stunned. If that's the case, then becoming a demigod is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
"Don't worry too much."

"With your talent, becoming a demigod should be easy for you," Bai Gui said with a smile.

Jiang Ye fell silent.

Becoming a demigod? His ambitions go far beyond that.

The exchange with Bai Gui lasted only a moment.

Jiang Ye looked at Zhao Zixuan again and asked curiously, "Do you know the conditions for becoming a god?"

"Becoming a god?"

Zhao Zixuan glanced at Jiang Ye, shook her head and smiled, "To become a god, one must comprehend two mysteries of heaven and earth, and both of these mysteries require taking the fifth step!"

Jiang Ye held his breath.

"Is it difficult?"

"For me, becoming a god is almost a pipe dream." Zhao Zixuan's eyes dimmed slightly: "My greatest pursuit is simply to become a demigod."

Jiang Ye fell silent. He had already discerned the other party's talent; it was merely a talent for cultivating Daoist principles.

Becoming a god is indeed almost impossible; even becoming a demigod is probably very difficult.

"Wang Ye."

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have extraordinary talent, right?" Zhao Zixuan asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Ye did not hide anything.

"This time, when you go to Obsidian City to challenge the Black Tower, try your best to reach the seventh floor," Zhao Zixuan said earnestly. "The elders are only concerned with floors above the seventh floor."

"If an elder is willing to take you as a disciple, you can settle in Obsidian City and get rid of your status as a low-level tribe."

"Plus, you have extraordinary talent."

"In the future, you might become a third-tier demigod and one of the thirty-six elders." Zhao Zixuan's eyes were filled with longing.

"Haha."

"It's too far away." Jiang Ye couldn't help but smile.

Being one of the thirty-six elders? He had no interest in that.

After all, this trip to Manlong Star was just a test for Jiang Ye, and he would eventually have to leave once the test was over.

However, Zhao Zixuan's words sparked a lot of speculation in Jiang Ye.

"I heard."

"When you challenge the Black Tower, the gods also pay attention." Jiang Ye asked curiously, "In history, there have even been instances where gods accepted disciples on the spot. Is that true?"

"A deity accepting disciples?"

“That’s true,” Zhao Zixuan nodded. “But you need to pass through the tenth floor of the Black Tower to have any chance of attracting the attention of the gods.”

The tenth floor? Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat.

"How many floors does the Black Tower have in total?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know." Zhao Zixuan shook her head: "The origin of the Black Tower is very mysterious. No one knows how many floors it has."

"It is said that a peerless genius once reached the nineteenth floor."

"At that time, the entire Savage Dragon Star was in an uproar. The gods of the twelve prosperous ancient cities all showed up in person, vying to take on disciples." Zhao Zixuan's eyes were filled with excitement: "The nineteenth level broke the historical record. Even some gods had never reached this height when they were young."

"This also became a legend!"

"Twelve gods vying to take on disciples?" Jiang Ye was shocked; he couldn't imagine such a spectacular scene.

"finally."

"The Star Lord appeared and took that genius as his disciple." Zhao Zixuan shook her head and said, "That's how the fight ended."

"Star Lord?" Jiang Ye looked puzzled.

"Lord of the Savage Dragon Star." Zhao Zixuan showed a respectful expression: "The Star Lord's status is extraordinary, far above the twelve prosperous ancient cities, and he is revered as the Star Lord by the gods."

Jiang Ye immediately understood.

The Star Lord should be the ruler of a planet.

Those who can obtain such a title must be above the twelve divine city lords.

"The Black Tower? I wonder which floor I can reach?" Jiang Ye was also looking forward to it.

immediately.

"Zhao Zixuan," Jiang Ye said, looking at the purple-armored girl beside him, "how many levels do you think you can reach?"

"I?"

"I don't know, maybe the fifth floor." Zhao Zixuan seemed unconcerned and laughed, "I came here just to broaden my horizons, I don't expect to be noticed by any elder."

Broaden your horizons?
Jiang Ye nodded calmly.

"This Zhao Zixuan, though not very strong, knows a great deal." A thought flashed through Jiang Ye's mind: "Could she be from some advanced tribe?"

"Or is it that she originally came from Obsidian City?"

Many thoughts surfaced in Jiang Ye's mind.

What Zhao Zixuan said would probably be unknown even to demigods on Earth.

Just as Jiang Ye was pondering this.

suddenly.

Dozens of miles away from the two, a violent wave suddenly erupted in the void, tearing the void apart.

Immediately following, towering figures appeared, radiating an overwhelming aura.

"A ferocious beast?"

"Oh no, it's a level nine beast!" Zhao Zixuan's expression changed.

"A ferocious beast? Nine-Break?" Jiang Ye's heart sank to the bottom.

How could a level nine ferocious beast appear when we are less than 100,000 miles away from the bustling ancient city?

It's so unreasonable.

It should be noted that the closer one gets to a bustling ancient city, the less likely one is to encounter these powerful and ferocious beasts.

But Jiang Ye didn't have time to think too much.

The ferocious beast at the ninth level of breakthrough was extremely fast, and it had already rapidly approached in less than one-hundredth of a second.

Just as Jiang Ye was about to crush his trump card and escape,

"Om~"

The world suddenly fell silent.

Countless rays of light converged, forming a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky. This hand slapped out like a giant fan that spanned the heavens and the earth, directly striking the group of ferocious beasts.

puff!

bang bang bang-

In an instant, the ferocious beasts that had been exuding overwhelming power were smashed to pieces by this slap, with blood splattering everywhere.

Not even a chance to resist.

With a single slap, several ferocious beasts of the Nine-Breakthrough Realm perished without a trace.

"this?"

"A demigod?" Jiang Ye's expression turned solemn. Such power could probably only be achieved by a demigod.

But the key point is that this is the middle of nowhere.

Those ferocious beasts had only just appeared when a demigod happened to pass by? That's too much of a coincidence.

Moreover, why would a demigod help them?

Jiang Ye couldn't help but look at Zhao Zixuan beside him.

"Uncle Yan, show yourself." Zhao Zixuan sighed softly. She was so intelligent that she already knew she couldn't hide it any longer.

As her voice fell.

"Buzz!"

The void ahead trembled slightly, and then a burly figure emerged, dressed in a gray robe and exuding a powerful aura.

"Thank you for your help, senior." Jiang Ye immediately cupped his hands in thanks.

This is the respect due to those who are strong.

"No need to thank me."

“After all, you also saved His Highness’s life,” the burly man in gray robes said with a smile.

"Your Highness?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

He couldn't help but re-examine the purple-armored girl beside him.

"hehe."

"Now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide it from you any longer." The gray-robed man, Uncle Yan, said with a smile, "Your Highness is the offspring of the City Lord of Obsidian City. As for me, I am merely her protector."

"The Lord of Obsidian City? His offspring?" Jiang Ye was dumbfounded.

Despite having some suspicions, he was still somewhat shocked when the other party said those words.

The Lord of Obsidian City is a god!

Offspring of the gods?
"Wait a minute." Jiang Ye was secretly alarmed: "This Zhao Zixuan is just a person with the talent of a Daoist."

The offspring of a deity is merely a Daoist bone?
For a moment, Jiang Ye was filled with confusion.

"Wang Ye."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Zhao Zixuan's pretty face showed apology: "It's just that in this desolate plain, I have to conceal my identity."

"It's nothing," Jiang Ye shook his head, not caring.

After all, he never revealed his true identity.

“This is Uncle Yan,” Zhao Zixuan introduced. “He is my protector. Although he is a second-tier demigod, he has the record of fighting against a third-tier demigod.”

"To withstand a third-tier demigod?" Jiang Ye was slightly surprised.

This indicates that the other party has grasped at least two of the mysteries of heaven and earth, or even more.

However, Uncle Yan's expression was unusually solemn at this moment.

"Logically speaking, the Nine-Break Beast should not appear in this place."

“Something doesn’t make sense,” Uncle Yan said in a low voice. “Your Highness, it’s possible this is targeting you.”

"Targeting me?" Zhao Zixuan's expression changed slightly, then, as if she had thought of something, a hint of anger appeared in her eyes.

"Uncle Yan."

"Let's go back to the city, it's probably not safe here anymore," Zhao Zixuan said decisively.

"Okay." Uncle Yan nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Ye: "Stand still."

He waved his hand sharply.

call!
An invisible force spread out, completely enveloping the two and instantly taking them away.

Jiang Ye felt a sudden shift in the stars and the surrounding scenery changing at an astonishing speed, with a large amount of light streaking past.

When he came to a stop, he found himself in an incredibly bustling city.

"We've arrived," Zhao Zixuan said.

"We've arrived? Obsidian City?" Jiang Ye looked around, his eyes filled with surprise.

Unexpected.

The so-called bustling ancient city is not an ancient city at all. On the contrary, it is more like a futuristic metropolis, with countless star towers standing tall, each one extremely large, and star trails intertwined in the sky, as bright as the Milky Way.

Cold, bustling, dazzling.

"Welcome to Obsidian City." Uncle Yan smiled slightly, he could tell that this was Jiang Ye's first time here.

"It's too vast."

"The Blue Star civilization is far inferior to any city," Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.

Before this, he could never have imagined that a building could be like a city.

He saw it here.

In Obsidian City, there are countless such star towers, each one like a metropolis suspended in the air.

"Advanced civilizations are not just about the strong being stronger."

"It's a superior crushing force across multiple dimensions, including technology and culture." Jiang Ye understood this statement more and more clearly.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly.

The Blue Star civilization probably still has a long way to go before it can advance to a Level 1 civilization.

"Wang Ye."

"Do you see that black tower?" Zhao Zixuan asked, pointing to the far distance.

Jiang Ye couldn't help but look in that direction; with his current eyesight, he could see over 100,000 miles away.

Hundreds of thousands of miles away, a tall black tower stood, seemingly piercing through the entire world.

This is an extremely terrifying thing.

It should be understood that even the largest skyscrapers appear incredibly small when separated by hundreds of thousands of miles.

But that black tower still gives people a sense of grandeur and vastness.

"That's the Black Tower."

“The Black Tower Trial will begin in a month,” Zhao Zixuan said. “At that time, the Black Towers in the twelve prosperous ancient cities will also open simultaneously.”

"You will be staying in Obsidian City for the next month."

“I will arrange everything for you,” Zhao Zixuan said.

"Thank you, Your Highness," Jiang Ye said immediately.

“There’s no need to call me Your Highness.” Zhao Zixuan blinked her beautiful eyes and said, “If you don’t mind, just call me Zixuan.”

"Zixuan?" Jiang Ye was speechless.

“Okay, Sister Zixuan,” Jiang Ye said.

Zhao Zixuan showed her two little tiger teeth, clearly in a good mood.

"Row."

Do you have any other questions? You can tell me now.

"I have my own things to take care of later," Zhao Zixuan said, looking at him.

Jiang Ye thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Could you give me some detailed information about Obsidian City? For example, its history, past, and so on. I'd like to learn more about it."

"no problem."

"I'll give you some information later," Zhao Zixuan said with a smile. "It includes detailed information on the other eleven prosperous ancient cities, as well as the specific details of the Savage Dragon Star."

"Thank you, Sister Zixuan." Jiang Ye's eyes lit up.

Is the true face of this world finally about to be revealed?
