Chapter 501: Dao Bone Potential

Next, Caiyi shared a wealth of cosmic knowledge with Jiang Ye, captivating him completely.

“Though the Caikun Civilization boasts many powerful beings, my master, True Divine Qiufang, prefers to select disciples from the barren starfield,” Caiyi explained. “He believes those who rise from such desolate regions possess greater malleability than natives of the Caikun Civilization.”

“The higher the malleability, the greater the potential to become a top-rank powerhouse in the future.”

Jiang Ye listened intently.

“Dao Bone Aptitude possesses exceptionally high malleability,” Caiyi said, looking at him. “Therefore, when selecting a successor for my master, Dao Bone Aptitude is always my first choice.”

“As for transcendents, I only consider them if they are exceptionally brilliant geniuses.”

“Is dao bone’s malleability truly higher than that of transcendents?” Jiang Ye couldn’t help but ask.

He remembered Bai Gui had said something similar.

“Dao bone is the foundation of heaven and earth,” Caiyi replied. “While transcendents are inherently more powerful and naturally attuned to certain mysteries of heaven and earth…”

“This very affinity becomes their limitation.”

“In the future, comprehending other mysteries of heaven and earth will be far more challenging for them.”

“Dao bone, however, lacks this inherent limitation,” Caiyi sighed. “Heaven and earth grant transcendents greater initial power, yet strip them of the opportunity to reach greater heights. Everything is balanced.”

“Of course.”

“The upper limit of dao bone aptitude is inherently lower than that of transcendent aptitude,” Caiyi explained. “Only by advancing their innate aptitude can they surpass their natural limitations.”

“This is another major advantage of Dao Bone Aptitude.”

“The success rate for advancing Dao Bone Aptitude is much higher than that for transcendent aptitude,” Caiyi remarked. “In extremely rare cases, Dao Bone Aptitude can even advance to Stellar Talent.”

Jiang Ye was stunned.

He knew how exceedingly rare Stellar Talent was.

Could dao bone aptitude actually advance to stellar talent?

He had to remember that others didn’t have a system like his.

“Of course, such individuals are exceedingly rare.”

“Across the entire Seventh Starfield, with its countless civilizations, how many have achieved this? You could count them on one hand,” Caiyi said, shaking her head. “Moreover, such opportunities are exceedingly rare.”

“Even within the Caikun Civilization, only one such opportunity arises every thousand years. Among trillions of Dao Bone Aptitude holders, only one can stand out and earn the chance to advance to Stellar Talent.”

“Their path will be a million times, even ten million times more arduous than that of most transcendent individuals. But everything is fair.”

“Historically,”

“Those who have advanced from Dao Bone Aptitude to Stellar Talent have all risen to the top-rank of Stellar Talent,” Caiyi said, her gaze drifting into the distance.

Jiang Ye held his breath, imagining the fierce and brutal competition that lay ahead.

“Sister Caiyi,” Jiang Ye suddenly asked, “did you choose me because you want me to compete for that spot in the future?”

“You’re very perceptive,” Caiyi replied with a smile. “That is indeed our master’s intention. Among the countless Dao Bone Aptitudes in the Caikun Civilization, your combat power, though not the absolute pinnacle, is certainly among the top tier.”

“To have grown to this level within the Blue Star Civilization, your potential is limitless.”

“With systematic training,”

“you have a very high chance of securing that spot in the future.” Caiyi’s eyes shone with anticipation.

Jiang Ye couldn’t help but chuckle.

Compete for a chance to ascend to Stellar Talent?

It was undoubtedly tempting—any other Dao Bone Aptitude would likely be driven mad by the prospect.

But Jiang Ye? He wasn’t particularly interested in that.

However, he remained intrigued by the inheritance of the True Divine Qiufang.

“I accept,” Jiang Ye declared solemnly.

Unexpectedly, Caiyi tilted her head in confusion. “Accept what? I never said I was going to give you the inheritance.”

Jiang Ye stared in disbelief.

Then why did you say all that?

Are you toying with me?

“Don’t rush,” Caiyi said with a soft laugh. “Though I’ve chosen you, whether you receive the master’s inheritance depends on passing the trials he left behind.”

“True Divine Qiufang?” Jiang Ye’s heart tightened.

Trials left by a Primordial True Divine? They must be far from simple.

“These are the rules set by the master, and I cannot change them. For countless years, you are the first to come here and activate the master’s trials.”

Caiyi looked at him. “I hope you succeed.”

“Mm,” Jiang Ye nodded, his resolve hardening.

“Don’t be nervous,” Caiyi added. “For you, this could be a great opportunity.”

A great opportunity? Jiang Ye froze.

Whoosh!

With a wave of Caiyi’s hand, streams of flowing light surged through the mysterious space, coalescing into four treasures that hovered before Jiang Ye.

“This?” Jiang Ye stared intently.

The four treasures glowed with a hazy light, radiating an irresistible allure.

“Four primordial treasures,” Caiyi explained. “Each represents metal, wood, water, and earth. You can use these treasures to attempt to refine lung metal, Liver Wood, Kidney Water, and Spleen Earth.”

Primordial treasures? Jiang Ye’s eyes burned with fervor.

He knew how precious these treasures were.

Patriarch Chen Jiuxuan of the Chen Clan had previously gifted him a fire-attribute primordial treasure, the Fire Source Fruit.

It was thanks to that treasure that Jiang Ye had condensed his heart fire.

Now, these four treasures were likely many times more powerful than the Fire Source Fruit. Jiang Ye could sense that the energy they radiated was far more alluring.

In fact, at Jiang Ye’s current level, ordinary sixth or seventh-tier treasures rarely piqued his interest.

Only supreme treasures of divine-grade or higher could stir the deep-seated longing within him.

This was the innate desire of life for higher-dimensional realms, and only true supreme treasures could trigger it.

Suddenly, Jiang Ye asked, “Why isn’t there a fire dao primordial treasure? Is it because I’ve already condensed my heart fire?”

“Correct,” Caiyi replied.

“I can sense that the heart fire within you is of a remarkably high tier,” Caiyi smiled. “You must have obtained a great opportunity, haven’t you?”

“Sister Caiyi has eyes like fire,” Jiang Ye said with a bashful smile.

“To me, you have almost no secrets,” Caiyi said calmly. “Though your heart fire is of a high tier, it still falls short of these four primordial treasures.”

Jiang Ye’s expression turned to astonishment.

Could they really be that powerful?

His heart fire had been upgraded by the system and had demonstrated numerous incredible abilities.

Just like the Ash Law, Jiang Ye would never have comprehended it without the aid of his heart fire.
