The Marquis of the Blue Sky, revealed to be Ye Jiang, has re-entered the divine battle rankings, surprising many. Meanwhile, Ye Jiang himself is in seclusion, refining two Beast God Crystals to enhance his Dao Planet and demigod foundation. While the first crystal significantly boosted his understanding, the second yielded diminishing returns due to resistance, leaving him at 50% Dao Planet penetration but with greatly increased combat prowess.

The demigod power became even more condensed, several times purer than before, and its operational speed increased.

The Five Great Mysteries and the Three Great Laws both experienced breakthroughs.

"If I encounter the likes of Lei Hao and Bingli, I also have the strength to fight." Jiang Ye was sufficiently confident.

In terms of cultivation, he was inferior to these people.

But did Jiang Ye rely on cultivation to get this far?

No, it was effort and persistence!

"As for the Dao Body..."

"It has also yielded substantial gains." Jiang Ye suddenly showed a smile.

He had already sensed it.

During his period of closed-door cultivation, the Dao Body swept through the Fourth Tier area, slaying three forbidden creatures and seeing a surge in points.

Now, the Dao Body’s ranking had already surged into the top fifty.

"The Dao Body has acquired three Beast God Crystals," Jiang Ye thought to himself, "yet to be used."

Due to the characteristic ’As long as my true self does not perish, the Dao Body will not be extinguished.’

The true self will affect the Dao Body, whereas the Dao Body cannot affect the true self.

Therefore, the increase in the Dao Body’s cultivation won’t synchronize to the true self.

Conversely, any enhancement to the true self’s power will synchronously strengthen the Dao Body, gaining increased capabilities without additional cultivation.

So, he set aside those three Beast God Crystals from the Dao Body, planning to refine them for the true self.

Only in this way could he maximize his power upgrade.

"It seems."

"I’ll have to wait until after the Hundred-Star Divine War ends to reunite with the true self." Jiang Ye felt slightly regretful.

If he had the help of those three Beast God Crystals, his power could rise significantly.

However, the entire Ancient Battlefield was under the watchful eyes of all the Venerables, and he could not risk contacting the Dao Body.

...

Soon, Jiang Ye collected his thoughts.

"My ranking has fallen out of the top hundred."

"I’ll have to go hunt a few more native creatures." Jiang Ye stood up, transforming into a Flowing Light rushing out of the cave.

With his current strength, he was sufficiently capable of handling any encounter.

...

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, another day had passed, and Jiang Ye encountered many Venerable creatures but could no longer find traces of forbidden creatures.

"It seems the forbidden creatures in this place have already been hunted by other powerhouses." Jiang Ye mused as he glanced at the rankings.

[Hundred-Star Divine War Rankings]

First Place: Lei Hao——Points: 24566

Second Place: Bingli——Points: 23311

Third Place: Yan Lie——Points: 19300

Fourth Place: Liu Tianmo——Points: 16999

Fifth Place: Yu Shuang——Points: 14658

Sixth Place: Bai Cantian——Points: 14631

...

Forty-ninth Place: Ye Jiang——Points: 4989

...

The points of the top ten, especially the top three, were frightfully high.

In contrast, Jiang Ye only had over four thousand points up till now.

"These people are probably continuously hunting forbidden creatures."

"But in doing so, they likely don’t have time to refine Beast God Crystals," Jiang Ye conjectured, "Or perhaps... the effect of the Beast God Crystals isn’t significant for them anymore."

Of course, he speculated there was another reason.

The rate at which prodigies with extraordinary talent refine Beast God Crystals is much faster than those with extraordinary talent, a fundamental disparity.

Just as Jiang Ye was pondering this.

Suddenly——

An immense, authoritative voice resounded throughout the Ancient Battlefield, reaching every participant’s ears.

[The first stage of the Hundred-Star Divine War is officially over!]

[All contestants ranked within the top 10,000, proceed immediately to the central Ancient Colosseum!]

...
