High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 1139 - 519: Divine Hall of Embracing the Moon, Shelter? (Double - )

Jiang Ye never expected this response.

In theory, he was now at Demigod Perfection, enough to handle many risks.

But Venerable Bai, unexpectedly, refused without hesitation?

"Ye Jiang."

"The current Star Sky Forbidden Land is more dangerous than before." Venerable Bai seemed to understand his question and calmly said, "Demigod Perfection is just the entry threshold."

"There are even gods entering, personally competing!"

"Gods?"

Jiang Ye’s heart seized with fear.

Even though he had broken through to Demigod Perfection, he knew he was absolutely no match for gods.

The closer he got to that realm, the more he could sense the terrifying nature of such beings.

"Correct." Venerable Bai slowly said, "Within the Star Sky Forbidden Land, there are opportunities to Ascend to Divinity, supreme treasures that increase the probability of ascending."

"Besides, there are also heaven-defying treasures that are greatly beneficial even to gods."

"How could those gods sit idly by?"

Venerable Bai paused, his tone growing increasingly grave: "And you, in particular, have been targeted by numerous second-level civilizations under the Celestial Battle Civilization as a must-kill target."

"The Cangxu Civilization has already spread the death order of the Celestial Battle Civilization throughout the entire Starry Sky."

"Just waiting for you to walk right into the trap." Venerable Bai’s voice thundered.

Jiang Ye’s eyes turned icy.

Cangxu Civilization.

It’s them again!?

Actively spreading the death order across the Starry Sky, they aim to block all his escape routes!

"Under the Celestial Battle Civilization, there are dozens of second-level civilizations as vassals."

"Once you show yourself in the Star Sky Forbidden Land," Venerable Bai said in a deep voice, "these second-level civilization powerhouses will join forces to hunt you down!"

"Though you’ve reached Demigod Perfection, facing a siege of dozens at the same level, plus gods attacking from the shadows, is no different from courting death."

Jiang Ye fell into silence.

Though he harbored resentment, he understood that what Venerable Bai said was true.

With his current strength, he feared no one at the same level, but if gods intervened, the odds were indeed against him.

"Venerable."

The Marquis of the Blue Sky suddenly spoke, his voice steady: "What about me?"

Venerable Bai turned his gaze to the Marquis of the Blue Sky, pondering slightly.

"You?"

"The top five of the Hundred-Star Divine War are also targets for the Cangxu Civilization, Thunder Marsh Civilization, and others," Venerable Bai slowly said, "but compared to Ye Jiang, your threat level is slightly less, and they might not fully mobilize to kill you."

"You may go."

"But be exceedingly careful," Venerable Bai advised.

Jiang Ye felt a touch of joy within his heart.

If he could send his clone, things would be manageable.

"I understand," the Marquis of the Blue Sky immediately bowed, saying, "I will be extremely cautious."

Venerable Bai nodded in satisfaction.

With a gesture of his hand, a brilliant golden light flew towards the Marquis of the Blue Sky.

It was a fully crystalline jade talisman, with Star Rivers seemingly flowing inside, exuding an immense divine pressure.

"[Star River Escape Divine Talisman]."

"A god-level protective treasure," Venerable Bai’s voice boomed, "Once activated, it can instantly flee a million miles, even god powerhouses will find it hard to intercept."

"It can be activated up to five times, use it judiciously," Venerable Bai said.

The Marquis of the Blue Sky received it with both hands, bowing respectfully: "Thank you, Venerable, for this generous gift."

Five chances at survival!

This is definitely a rare and invaluable treasure.

"Go now."

"There’s a [Star Sky Forbidden Land] newly opened outside the territory of the Cai Kun Civilization. Head there," Venerable Bai instructed, "Remember, survival first, opportunity second."

"I understand."

The Marquis of the Blue Sky’s figure flashed, disappearing from the Holy Hall.

...

In the hall, only Jiang Ye and Venerable Bai remained.

"Teacher."

"Must I just stay within the civilization for secluded cultivation?" Jiang Ye couldn’t help but ask, "Completely giving up on the opportunities of the Star Sky Forbidden Land?"

"This way, my ranking on the Cosmic Strongest List will only fall further behind."

He understood that although the list wasn’t official, it would undoubtedly draw attention from the Cai Kun Civilization.

The higher the ranking, the more attention received in the future.

Resources, protection, treasures... all are tied to ranking.

"Wait."

"Wait for a Star Sea Bridge to appear within the Huanglong Realm leading to the Star Sky Forbidden Land, and you can go," Venerable Bai said.

Jiang Ye felt a sense of helplessness.

How vast is the Starry Sky?

Even though the territory of the Huanglong Civilization is expansive, it is but a grain of sand compared to the Starry Sky.

The location where the Star Sky Forbidden Land appears is utterly random, more likely to appear in an unoccupied Desolate Star Domain.

The probability of appearing within Huanglong’s territory is minuscule.

"I understand," Jiang Ye bowed.

The will of the Venerable cannot be swayed.

He said no more and quickly turned to leave.

...

As Jiang Ye stepped out of the Holy Hall, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

"Brother Bai?"

Jiang Ye slightly hesitated.

The person was Bai Cantian.

"Brother Ye?"

"You’ve finally come out of seclusion." Bai Cantian’s eyes flashed with joy as he quickly approached, "Did the Venerable agree for you to head to the Star Sky Forbidden Land?"

Jiang Ye shook his head.

Seeing Jiang Ye’s gesture, Bai Cantian’s joyful expression instantly froze.

Then, it turned into a soft sigh.

"The Venerable still disagrees?"

"If this continues, your ranking..." Bai Cantian’s eyes were filled with complexity.

In his eyes, Jiang Ye was once the champion of the Hundred-Star Divine War, such an impressive figure!

But now, he lagged far behind Lei Hao, Bingli, and the others.

Even he himself had surpassed Jiang Ye considerably.

Jiang Ye’s ranking on the Cosmic Strongest List had plummeted to second-rate.

Once a champion, now fallen to this state!

Sad, lamentable!

"I just am not strong enough yet," Jiang Ye shook his head.

"Brother Ye, it’s not your fault."

"It’s the Cangxu Civilization!" Bai Cantian lowered his voice, coldness flashing in his eyes: "They spread the death order to force you into hiding, preventing you from partaking in any opportunity battles."

"If you venture out, you’ll face the joint siege of powerhouses from dozens of civilizations."

"And if you stay in, you’re confined to the Huanglong Realm," Bai Cantian said solemnly, "Missing all opportunities, difficult to ascend to divinity."
