Chapter 373 Mysterious Breakthrough, Eighth Breakthrough! (Two chapters combined, please add to your favorites!)
"Seventh on the Obsidian City's list of extraordinary prodigies? Wang Ye?"

"From the desolate plains? Or some lowly tribe?"

"How could such a genius be born in a lowly tribe?"

"Incredible." In Obsidian City, all the forces were astonished.

Indeed, geniuses exist on the wild plains.

But those geniuses could hardly make a ripple in Obsidian City, where powerful figures gathered.

For example, Zhao Zhuo's bodyguard Jiang Lai was a top genius from a high-level tribe in the Wild Plains, but after arriving in Obsidian City, he could only become a bodyguard.

But what about Jiang Ye? He only comes from a low-level tribe.

"He's a talented individual; we should try to recruit him!"

"We promise a hefty reward to invite Wang Ye to join our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."

"When you visit him, be sure to invite him to join us."

"The Black Tower is about to open, and Wang Ye will definitely reach the seventh floor or higher. We can invite him to join my Xuanwu Hall in advance."

As the list was released, many forces within the city began to take covert actions.

Obsidian City, Star Pavilion, a palace.

"This Wang Ye, is he really from a low-level tribe?" Zhao Zhuo was astonished when he received the news.

He had suspected it before, but he wasn't sure.

Now that the news has been confirmed, Zhao Zhuo is somewhat incredulous.

"No wonder!"

“That woman Zhao Zishuang said that Wang Ye is a distinguished guest.” Zhao Chen squinted his eyes: “But she didn’t explain his background clearly.”

"So they were afraid we'd compete with the Heavenly Gang Palace for Wang Ye."

In a flash, he understood everything.

"Brother," Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but ask, "Should we invite Wang Ye?"

"No need," Zhao Chen sneered. "Wang Ye hasn't joined the Heavenly Gang Palace yet, which clearly means he has no intention of joining any faction."

"Even if we invite him, he won't agree."

"Why?" Zhao Zhuo asked, puzzled.

"I guess."

"This Wang Ye probably wants to gain the favor of those elders when he breaks into the Black Tower," Zhao Chen sneered. "What a grand ambition."

"You mean?" Zhao Zhuo's eyes widened, "those fourth-tier demigod elders?"

He understood what Zhao Chen meant.

The majority of the thirty-six elders of Obsidian City are third-tier demigods, with only a small number being fourth-tier demigods.

The third-tier demigod elder took a liking to him, saying that all he needed to do was pass the seventh level of the Black Tower.

However, to gain the favor of a fourth-tier demigod elder, one must at least pass through the eighth level of the Black Tower.

Only the top five on the list of extraordinary talents can achieve this.

"Just Wang Ye?"

"You also want to be noticed by those elders?" Zhao Zhuo gritted his teeth and said, "Dream on!"

He was very dissatisfied with what happened at today's banquet.

He dared not say anything to Jiang Ye on the surface.

But deep down, he was filled with resentment.

As the son of a god, he couldn't swallow the insult of being humiliated by a lowly tribe's natives.

"okay."

"These things are none of your business," Zhao Chen said calmly. "This time in the Black Tower, you should also try your best to break into the fifth floor."

"Don't end up being worse than Zhao Zixuan," Zhao Chen said.

“I know,” Zhao Zhuo nodded.

Subsequently.

"So, are we just going to let this matter go like this?" Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but ask.

He was naturally referring to the Jiang Ye matter.

"if not?"

"If Wang Ye really manages to pass the eighth level of the Black Tower and catches the eye of a certain fourth-tier demigod elder," Zhao Chen said calmly, "then we should be even closer to him."

"You shouldn't delve too deeply into it," Zhao Chen said, looking at Zhao Zhuo.

"Yes." Zhao Zhuo nodded quickly.

He knew that his ability to challenge a genius like Zhao Zishuang was entirely due to Zhao Chen's status.

Therefore, he always respected his older brother's words.

The outside world is in turmoil.

Inside Jiang Ye's residence, however, all was quiet.

Not long after returning to his residence, Jiang Ye received a message from Zhao Zixuan.

"Wang Ye."

“I didn’t expect your identity to be discovered so quickly.” Zhao Zixuan said apologetically, “The city’s intelligence network is more astute than I imagined.”

"It's alright," Jiang Ye said with a smile, "It has nothing to do with you."

In fact.

If he had agreed to join the Heavenly Gang Palace, these troubles wouldn't have happened.

However, Jiang Ye has no intention of joining any faction for the time being.

“You’ll probably have a lot of people visiting you soon,” Zhao Zixuan said. “Do you need us to help you receive them?”

She was very intelligent and had already seen through Jiang Ye's thoughts.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Zixuan." Jiang Ye didn't refuse again.

For the next period of time, he planned to cultivate in seclusion and indeed needed to isolate himself from external interference.

"Are you planning to refuse all the gifts?" Zhao Zixuan asked. "Some of them may not be inviting you, but rather expressing goodwill."

"Then we'll accept it depending on the situation."

Jiang Ye considered carefully and said, "If it's particularly valuable, then there's no need to accept it. You can help me choose."

"Okay." Zhao Zixuan gave a gesture of acceptance.

"Wang Ye."

"Suddenly I feel like I've become your assistant," Zhao Zixuan blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "I'm practically serving you personally."

"Sister Zixuan is joking." Jiang Ye shook his head and smiled, but a thought stirred in his heart.

The first level of the Martial Arts Ladder could provide some new materials.

"I'm troubling you this time, Sister Zixuan."

"Next time, if Sister Zixuan has any difficulties, just tell me," Jiang Ye said with a smile. "As long as I, Wang Ye, am still here, I will do my best to help."

“Okay.” Zhao Zixuan’s eyes lit up, and anticipation immediately filled her eyes.

Little did she know that Jiang Ye was merely a passerby in this world.

Before long, it will drift away.

After a while.

Zhao Zixuan hung up the call.

Jiang Ye entered a quiet room and sat down cross-legged.

"An eighth-order purple spirit crystal." Jiang Ye flipped his hand, and a purple crystal appeared.

The crystal is octagonal, with many mysterious patterns on its surface, and exudes an indescribable alluring aura.

It was an eighth-tier enlightenment treasure from Zhao Zishuang.

"Refining."

"I wonder if this Purple Spirit Crystal can help me break through the mysteries of heaven and earth." Jiang Ye had high hopes in his heart: "As long as any one of the mysteries of heaven and earth can break through to the Quasi-Eighth Breakthrough level."

"With the study of 'The Laws of Heaven and Earth,' one can hope to gain a basic understanding."

With this in mind, Jiang Ye no longer hesitated.

call!
A wisp of star energy emerged, completely enveloping the purple spirit crystal, and began to refine it.

"Whoosh~" As the refining process progressed, wisps of strange purple energy overflowed from the Purple Spirit Crystal and entered Jiang Ye's body.

Soon, Jiang Ye was enveloped in a strange purple energy, and a faint purple halo appeared on his entire body.

From a distance, it resembles a purple statue, with a solemn and dignified appearance.

Actually.

Jiang Ye's inner changes are even more astonishing.

"Observe the heavens and the earth." Jiang Ye looked around at himself.

After the purple energy entered his body, Jiang Ye quickly realized that his perspective on the world had changed drastically.

This is by no means an improvement in comprehension.

Rather, it was a stranger, more mysterious change that completely overturned his view of the world, giving him many new insights.

"The Mysteries of Fire".

"The mysteries of water." Jiang Ye's face showed a look of fascination as he continued to ponder.

Inside a palace in the Tiangang Palace. "Uncle Yan," Zhao Zixuan asked, "Have you made all the arrangements?"

"Your Highness, everything is arranged." Uncle Yan, dressed in a gray robe, said, "I have dispatched several powerful individuals to guard the vicinity of Wang Ye's residence. If anyone disturbs Wang Ye, they will take action."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Yan," Zhao Zixuan said.

Having said that, she got up and walked out of the hall.

"Your Highness, where are you going?" Uncle Yan asked, puzzled.

“Go to Wang Ye’s place,” Zhao Zixuan said.

"I have already sent someone over there, why does Your Highness need to go again?" Uncle Yan was even more puzzled.

"I went there to collect gifts," Zhao Zixuan said with a smile, blinking her beautiful eyes.

"Accepting gifts?" Uncle Yan was taken aback.

With his broad perspective, how could he not have realized it?
In the blink of an eye, Uncle Yan understood everything and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"Your Highness," Uncle Yan said helplessly, "the Palace Master will probably blame you if he finds out about this."

The "palace master" he was referring to was naturally Zhao Tiangang, the master of the Tiangang Palace.

"The Black Tower is about to open."

"You should focus on your cultivation," Uncle Yan said solemnly, "and try your best to break into a higher level of the Black Tower."

"I know."

“But I can’t improve much anymore,” Zhao Zixuan said. “Since I’m just idling around anyway, I might as well go visit Wang Ye.”

"Uncle Yan, don't worry."

"Grandpa won't blame you," Zhao Zixuan said with a smile.

The voice just fell.

"Is that so?" a faint voice came.

The void trembled, and then a figure in black robes appeared out of thin air.

"Palace Master?"

"Greetings, Palace Master." Uncle Yan bowed quickly, his expression extremely respectful.

"Grandpa?" Zhao Zixuan looked helpless.

"Zixuan, address me by my title when we're out," said the figure in black robes. His eyes were sharp, and he carried two swords on his back, exuding an aura of wildness and untamed power.

It was none other than Zhao Tiangang, the master of the Tiangang Palace!

"Palace Master."

"Please don't blame Your Highness, she is young and ignorant," Uncle Yan quickly pleaded.

“I have no intention of blaming her.” Zhao Tiangang looked at Zhao Zixuan: “Zixuan, you did very well.”

“Wang Ye has the potential to become a god in the future.”

“Even if he can’t become a god, the probability of him becoming a fourth-order demigod is extremely high,” Zhao Tiangang said. “Winning him over is the right choice.”

Zhao Zixuan looked completely surprised.

Even Grandpa thinks Jiang Ye has the potential to become a god?

It should be noted that these words spoken by Zhao Zishuang are entirely different from those spoken by Zhao Tiangang.

Zhao Tiangang, a third-order demigod, has seen countless geniuses.

How many fallen geniuses have I witnessed?

countless.

The fact that he said those words was enough to prove Jiang Ye's importance in Zhao Tiangang's heart.

"grandfather."

"Do you really believe Wang Ye has the potential to become a fourth-tier demigod?" Zhao Zixuan couldn't help but ask. "Doesn't that mean Wang Ye has a chance to break through the ninth level of the Black Tower?"

“He does have a chance,” Zhao Tiangang said. “Wang Ye’s understanding of the mysteries of fire is not at the quasi-eighth level, but at the peak of the seventh level.”

"Seventh breakthrough peak?" Zhao Zixuan was stunned.

She had no doubt about her grandfather's words.

From Zhao Tiangang's perspective, he could easily see Jiang Ye's skill level.

But if it is at the peak of the seventh breakthrough level, why can it unleash the power of a near eighth breakthrough?
In a flash, Zhao Zixuan figured out the reason.

"Could it be that?"

"Wang Ye... he possesses a high-level Heart Flame?" Zhao Zixuan held her breath.

The higher the level of the Heart Flame, the greater the power and mystery of fire it can unleash.

But to condense a high-level Heart Flame? First, you need to obtain a high-level Fire Dao Origin Treasure, which is a matter of probability. Even if you have the treasure, you may not be able to condense a high-level Heart Flame.

Wang Ye, a poor boy from a lowly tribe.

He actually possesses a high-level Heart Flame?
"How is this possible?" Zhao Zixuan felt a sense of disbelief.

"His background is indeed somewhat strange."

“He doesn’t seem like someone from the desolate plains,” Zhao Tiangang said. “But I have confirmed that Wang Ye is not from any other prosperous ancient city.”

"Anyway."

“This kid’s potential is indeed considerable.” Zhao Tiangang looked at his granddaughter: “The eighth-tier enlightenment treasure you gave him might enable him to break through to the quasi-eighth level in understanding the mysteries of heaven and earth.”

“When the Black Tower is activated, Wang Ye’s strength will be even more formidable.”

"With the blessing of a high-level Heart Flame, there is a chance to pass the ninth level of the Black Tower," Zhao Tiangang remarked.

Zhao Zixuan was stunned.

The guy she casually brought into the city could actually have made it past the ninth level of the Black Tower?

Zhao Zixuan couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate.

"but."

"If Wang Ye can really pass the ninth level," Zhao Zixuan thought to herself, "wouldn't that mean he could go to Huanglong Main Star with my sister?"

A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

For her, there was almost no chance of passing the ninth level of the Black Tower, which also meant that she would never be able to reach the main star of Huanglong in her lifetime.

"do not care."

"Let's go to Wang Ye's place first." Zhao Zixuan looked at Zhao Tiangang: "Grandpa, I'm leaving."

"and many more."

"Take this with you." Zhao Tiangang flipped his hand, and a golden treasure appeared.

"An eighth-tier enlightenment treasure?" Zhao Zixuan's eyes widened.

"Ah."

“If Wang Ye fails to break through to the Quasi-Eighth Level, then give this item to him,” Zhao Tiangang said with a smile.

"Grandpa, he won't want it."

“My sister has already given him an eighth-tier treasure,” Zhao Zixuan said helplessly. “But Wang Ye refuses to accept the gift and insists on exchanging it for a treasure of equal value.”

"It's alright," Zhao Tiangang said. "Just say it was a gift from me to him."

Zhao Zixuan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately accepted the treasure.

She knew that her grandfather wanted to win over Jiang Ye.

She had to bring the treasure with her; whether Jiang Ye would accept it was another matter entirely.

Inside the mansion.

Jiang Ye was unaware of the conversation between Zhao Zixuan and Zhao Tiangang, as he was currently focused on refining the Purple Spirit Crystal.

To continuously deepen one's understanding of the mysteries of heaven and earth.

"The Five Fundamental Mysteries." In Jiang Ye's eyes, these mysteries of heaven and earth were like stars, constantly shining around him and evolving into many secrets.

To grasp the mystery, there are two main steps.

Perception and understanding.

Thanks to the powerful assistance of the 'Five Elements Fire', Jiang Ye has an extremely keen ability to perceive the mysteries of heaven and earth.

In the past, Jiang Ye's only lack was the ability to perceive and understand.

But now.

After his talent advanced to the third level of the extraordinary realm, Jiang Ye's ability to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth greatly improved. With the help of an eighth-level enlightenment treasure, his comprehension ability surged even more.

It is worth mentioning that the effect of any enlightenment treasure on enhancing comprehension ability is based on the user's original comprehension ability.

In other words.

The stronger one's basic comprehension ability, the more significant the improvement brought by the Enlightenment Treasure will be.

Jiang Ye has already keenly realized just how terrifying this improvement is.

"The mysteries of the earth?" Jiang Ye's expression shifted.

Huhuhu~
A large amount of earthy yellow light gathered, magnified and magnified again in Jiang Ye's eyes, and he finally saw the deeper essence of the mystery of earth.

"So that's how it is," Jiang Ye murmured.

next moment.

The countless yellowish-brown rays in Jiang Ye's eyes gathered into strands, forming strands of the earth's mysteries. Each strand was so crystal clear, as if Jiang Ye had completely seen through the most perfect creation in the world.

He saw a deeper level of the world.

To grasp a glimpse of the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Eight levels broken through!!
