Jiang Ye has begun comprehending the Chaos Law, realizing its superiority over the Void Law. He expends a significant amount of merit points to acquire Law Crystals and Fruits to advance his cultivation. Meanwhile, the Marquis of the Blue Sky, as Jiang Ye's Taoist body, decides to forge its own innate divine power using Chaos Law as a core and integrating existing ultimate skills, also requiring substantial resources.

Subsequently, the Marquis of the Blue Sky closed his eyes, fully immersing himself in the merging of his innate divine abilities.

"Rustle~" The Heaven and Earth Power flowed like water, becoming increasingly dense.

The Chaos Law and many basic divine abilities began to slowly intertwine and merge.

...

Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The Marquis of the Blue Sky devoted himself to cultivation, and the embryonic form of his innate divine abilities gradually emerged.

Meanwhile, within the Bright Heart Hall, Jiang Ye was also surrounded by an increasingly dense chaotic aura, getting ever closer to the peak of a demigod.

On this day.

Jiang Ye was deeply immersed in the cultivation of the Chaos Law.

Suddenly.

"Boom~"

A strong energy surge abruptly exploded, vast and magnificent, instantly shattering the tranquility of the Bright Heart Hall.

It startled Jiang Ye out of his seclusion.

"Hmm?"

"This surge?" Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The surge was too intense, far beyond what an ordinary demigod could produce.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he flashed outside the Bright Heart Hall.

Looking up, he saw a dazzling beam of light piercing the sky in the direction of the Bai Clan territory, with the power of laws frantically converging to form a massive vortex.

Throughout the heavens and earth, countless powerhouses flew towards the Bai Clan territory.

With curiosity, yet tinged with respect.

"What’s going on?" Jiang Ye wondered, preparing to go and investigate.

Just then, a figure in a green robe swept by from afar.

This figure, with a stern visage and an aura of the Grass and Wood Law, was also headed towards the Bai Clan territory.

Jiang Ye’s gaze focused, instantly recognizing the figure.

"Fellow Daoist Qinggu."

"Please stop." Jiang Ye flashed, blocking him.

Qinggu was the strongest prodigy of the Qing Clan among the nine Huanglong Clans.

At the previous meeting of the nine clans, this person had a degree of disdain for Jiang Ye, but later, as Jiang Ye demonstrated his strength, he began to engage with him voluntarily.

At this moment.

Upon seeing who it was, Qinggu’s pupils suddenly contracted.

"Ye... Ye Jiang?"

"Greetings, Lord Jiang." Qinggu instinctively stepped back half a step, then hurriedly bowed, his tone tinged with complexity.

Jiang Ye was slightly taken aback.

Qinggu’s reaction surprised him a little.

In the past, this prodigy of the Qing Clan had seen him as a rival, often speaking with provocations.

Now, however, he respectfully called him ’Lord.’

"No need for formalities." Jiang Ye waved his hand.

Qinggu straightened up, still looking respectful.

He secretly scrutinized the young man in black before him, his heart a mix of emotions.

Once upon a time, he thought the gap between himself and Ye Jiang was only a thin line.

During the nine clans meeting, though he lost to Jiang Ye, he merely considered it a momentary failure and was still unconvinced.

But the current Jiang Ye was no longer a rival he could match.

Champion of the Hundred-Star Divine War, Second-Class Marquis, First Divine Son...

This series of titles weighed on him like great mountains, making it hard to breathe.

The gap between them had become an unbridgeable chasm, far beyond comparison with the past.

"Lord Jiang, are you headed to the Bai Clan territory?" Qinggu cautiously asked.

"Yes."

"What happened in the direction of the Bai Clan territory?" Jiang Ye nodded, "What’s with that beam of light?"

"It’s Bai Cantian of the Bai Clan."

"He’s broken through!" Qinggu replied quickly.

"Bai Cantian? A breakthrough?" Jiang Ye’s eyes flickered, instantly understanding.

Bai Cantian was already a peak demigod powerhouse before, so Qinggu’s mention of a breakthrough needed no further explanation.

"Thank you for informing me," Jiang Ye said calmly.

As soon as the words left his mouth, he flashed and turned into a streak of flowing light, disappearing from where he stood.

In one step, he traversed thousands of miles.

Heading swiftly towards the Bai Clan territory.

Qinggu stared at the receding figure for a long time, speechless.

"Is this the strength of Ye Jiang?"

"His advancement to Demigod Perfection is probably approaching as well," Qinggu sighed inwardly, his eyes carrying a tinge of bitterness.

Having cultivated to the present, he had just reached the demigod peak; he still had a long way to go even to reach the peak of demigod.

The gap between people is truly larger than that between people and dogs.

...

In the Bai Clan territory, it was already packed with people.

Countless powerhouses gathered, all looking towards the central Divine Mountain of the territory.

"Bai Cantian has broken through!"

"Demigod Perfection, our Huanglong Civilization has gained another top-tier powerhouse!"

"None of the top ten in the Hundred-Star Divine War are simple characters."

The discussions went on one after another, with everyone’s faces full of respect and envy.

Jiang Ye’s figure moved like lightning, cutting through the sky, and everyone turned to look as he passed.

"Is that... the Sky King Jiang?"

"Lord Jiang is here too."

"Quick, make way!"

"Greetings, Sky King Jiang." Many powerhouses parted, respectfully clasping their hands to the figure in black, full of reverence.

Jiang Ye, unmindful of it all, took a step and arrived at the peak of the Divine Mountain.

At the peak, a white figure stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by a golden divine radiance, his aura vast as the sea, melding with the heavens and earth.

It was Bai Cantian.

"Woosh~" The oppressive force of Demigod Perfection spread like a tidal wave, entirely enveloping the Bai Clan territory.

"Brother Ye."

Upon seeing Jiang Ye, Bai Cantian beamed a bright smile, quickly retracting his own pressure.

He was in high spirits, as if the failure in the Hundred-Star Divine War had been utterly swept away, exuding an inner confidence and composure.

Evidently, achieving Demigod Perfection had greatly lifted his spirits.

"Congratulations, Brother Bai, on reaching Demigod Perfection," Jiang Ye congratulated with clasped hands.

Bai Cantian’s breakthrough did not surprise him.

Before the Hundred-Star Divine War, Bai Cantian was already at the peak of a demigod, almost perfect, and needed only one final step to cross the threshold.
