Chapter 505: Unlocking Martial God, Holy Body Tier 2
From Jiang Ye’s perspective, he could now perceive with unparalleled clarity the strands of light drifting through the world. These luminous threads, divided into six distinct colors, represented the six profound mysteries of the laws he could currently comprehend:
Ash Law Mysteries of Earth Mysteries of Fire Mysteries of Gold Mysteries of Water Mysteries of Wood
“So clear,” he murmured, entranced. “These fundamental mysteries are truly breathtaking.”
What truly captivated him was his newfound ability to see the deep structure of these fundamental mysteries. Each strand was composed of countless intricate and radiant secret patterns, their beauty transcending racial boundaries. Anyone who witnessed them would be utterly mesmerized.
Every wisp of profound mystery was woven from countless such patterns, forming the most exquisite and captivating designs in the world.
The moment Jiang Ye laid eyes on these patterns, he was completely lost within them.
His gaze swept across the surrounding strands of light, his mind utterly absorbed, his face radiating pure fascination.
Time seemed to cease to exist.
Suddenly, a voice cut through his reverie:
“Jiang Ye!”
“Jiang Ye? Wake up!” A voice called out.
“Hmm?”
“Senior Bai Gui?” Jiang Ye jolted awake. It was Bai Gui who had been calling him.
He finally snapped out of his entranced state, his mind clearing.
“What was I…?” Jiang Ye felt disoriented.
“You were observing the mysteries of heaven and earth,” Bai Gui explained. “You remained motionless for three hours. I grew concerned that your divine soul might become lost in the void, so I woke you.”
“Three hours?” Jiang Ye was astonished.
To him, it had felt like a mere instant.
He never imagined so much time had passed.
“Divine soul lost?” Jiang Ye couldn’t help but ask. “Bai Gui, what do you mean?”
“The mysteries of heaven and earth are infinitely profound.”
“If you observe them too closely, you can easily fall into a state of enlightenment,” Bai Gui said. “This enlightenment isn’t like the kind you experience when cultivating your techniques. It’s a direct comprehension of the supreme principles of heaven and earth.”
“It’s extremely dangerous.”
“The mysteries of heaven and earth are both breathtakingly beautiful and fraught with peril,” Bai Gui warned solemnly. “At your current realm, attempting deep enlightenment could cause your divine soul to separate from your body, becoming lost in the depths of the void, never to return to your physical form.”
Jiang Ye felt a chill run down his spine.
“So, I was unconscious just now?” Jiang Ye asked in disbelief.
This was utterly inconceivable.
Consider Jiang Ye’s current unwavering willpower. Even a demigod would struggle to shake his resolve. Yet moments ago, he had completely succumbed, and without Bai Gui’s intervention, he would have been lost forever.
“I’m puzzled too,” Bai Gui said. “Your ability to perceive the fundamental structure of the mysteries of heaven and earth indicates your perception has reached an unimaginable level.”
“Logically, only those who have achieved at least the ninth breakthrough should possess such clarity,” Bai Gui shook her head. “But you’ve only reached the sixth breakthrough.”
Jiang Ye nodded in agreement.
Indeed!
His perception of the world had become remarkably clear, allowing him to discern even the deepest layers of the mysteries of heaven and earth.
If Teacher Qiu Cang were to learn of this, he would likely be astonished beyond words.
Suddenly, Jiang Ye froze.
“Wait, sixth breakthrough?” he blurted out. “I’ve already reached the sixth breakthrough?”
Realizing something, he quickly examined himself.
Buzz~
As Jiang Ye activated his cultivation technique, a formidable aura erupted from within his body. This aura far surpassed the standard for the fifth breakthrough, clearly reaching the threshold of the sixth breakthrough!
“It’s true. I’ve reached the sixth breakthrough.”
How could I have noticed nothing at all? Jiang Ye thought, both surprised and delighted.
After the sixth breakthrough, both the body and divine soul undergo a profound metamorphosis.
Yet for Jiang Ye, it felt like he had simply taken a nap.
When he awoke, he found himself completely transformed.
It must be because I was too deeply immersed in comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth, Jiang Ye mused, shaking his head with a smile.
He had already reached the quasi sixth-tier realm before refining the four primordial treasures.
With their refinement, Jiang Ye’s life level naturally reached the threshold of the sixth breakthrough.
The White Dragon True Divine Manual has also surpassed 60%, entering the sixth-tier realm, Jiang Ye noted, glancing at his status panel.
While refining the treasures, he had also been cultivating the True Divine Manual simultaneously.
Multitasking had long become a habit for Jiang Ye.
No wonder.
I can perceive the mysteries of heaven and earth so clearly now. It must be because of the sixth breakthrough, Jiang Ye realized.
The sixth breakthrough is known as the Celestial Phenomenon Manipulator!
As the name suggests, experts at this realm can manipulate celestial phenomena, making legendary feats like summoning wind and rain or transforming beans into soldiers no longer difficult.
In ancient times, such beings would have been considered gods!
But how does the sixth breakthrough enable the manipulation of celestial phenomena?
After the sixth breakthrough, a martial artist’s perception of heaven and earth is comprehensively enhanced, allowing them to grasp the fundamental mysteries that permeate the cosmos.
Starting from the sixth breakthrough, based on the mysteries of heaven and earth, countless divine arts and spell arts could be derived.
Powerful cultivators no longer needed to engage in close combat. Even separated by thousands of miles, they could summon celestial phenomena to slay their enemies.
“But my perception of heaven and earth far surpasses that of other sixth, seventh, and even eighth breakthrough powerhouses.”
“Why is that?”
“Could it be… because of the heart fire?” Jiang Ye wondered inwardly.
The heart fire’s upgrade had granted him unimaginable abilities.
Take now, for example.
Jiang Ye had already fused the primordial treasures of the Metal Dao, water dao, and wood dao into his heart fire.
This not only allowed him to perceive the existence of the three fundamental mysteries—metal, water, and wood—but also granted him an even clearer perception.
“In that case…”
“This heart fire can no longer be called heart fire,” Jiang Ye muttered to himself. “It should be called five elements fire instead.”
A ‘vessel’ capable of containing the five fundamental mysteries!
If its true power were unleashed, how terrifying would it be?
Just imagining it sent shivers down Jiang Ye’s spine.
But at that very moment…
【Your strength has reached the system’s new upper limit!】
【Unlocked title: Martial God】
【Martial God: Above Martial Saint, the supreme existence in the low-martial world, possessing divine mastery, unrivaled, and worthy of the title Martial God!】
【Reward: Holy Body Enhancement】
“Unlocked a new achievement?” Jiang Ye murmured, startled.
These subtitles hadn’t just appeared. They had been there for a while, but he hadn’t noticed them until now.
Speaking of which, he recalled that the system hadn’t unlocked any new achievements when he achieved his fifth breakthrough.
“Is that because the fifth breakthrough still falls within the Martial Saint realm?”
Jiang Ye’s thoughts stirred. “According to the system’s classification, the realm above Martial Saint is Martial God.”
The difference between the two was immense. Progressing from the fourth breakthrough to the sixth breakthrough was equivalent to crossing two major realms.
“My physique has also changed,” Jiang Ye noted, glancing at his status panel.
Physique: Martial Fetus Holy Body (Tier 2)
Jiang Ye could sense a fundamental transformation within his body, a subtle shift that defied description.
“No wonder,” he realized. “My perception of the mysteries of heaven and earth has become so clear.” He suddenly understood. “This enhanced physique must be playing a significant role.”
The Martial Fetus Holy Body was a transcendent physique. At Tier 2, his perception of the world would undoubtedly be even more acute.
“I wonder how much this Tier 2 Holy Body will boost my combat power,” Jiang Ye muttered to himself.
Just as Jiang Ye was sensing his own strength,
Whoosh!
The void within the Inheritance Space rippled, and a colorful figure materialized.
