High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 718 - 374: Exponentially Increased Power, Fatian Xiangdi Formed!

"The Mystery of Earth."

"So, this is the authentic Mystery of Earth?" Jiang Ye stared at the boundless world ahead, his gaze sparkling with sharp perception.

Within his vision.

Those formerly hazy, illusory earthy yellow threads abruptly swelled and solidified, shifting into a sharper, more essential solid structure.

No longer mere transient flowing lights, they morphed into semi-transparent, sturdy veins that wove together mountain, river, sun, and moon designs, pulsing to the beat of the cosmos's movement.

"Ten threads form a strand."

"Yet grasping even one strand of the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth brings far more than a simple tenfold boost." As Jiang Ye sensed the mystery's shift, numerous realizations dawned in his mind: "It marks a profound change in one's very outlook."

The Mysteries of Heaven and Earth remained unchanged in quantity.

Yet Jiang Ye had pierced beyond the superficial to behold a deeper, concrete essence.

Thus, in his sight, the Mystery of Earth no longer appeared as separate threads but as strands drifting through the cosmos.

Before, a single ’thread’ offered only a narrow peek; now, a ’strand’ unveiled the true skeleton of universal mechanics.

"No surprise there."

"Comprehending a strand of the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth unlocks the Eight Breaks realm." Jiang Ye pondered in awe: "The leap from thread to strand in mystery is like crossing dimensions."

With that thought,

A sudden epiphany struck Jiang Ye.

"Does my Mystery of Earth now qualify as Eight Breaks level?" His heart raced.

Boom!

Jiang Ye's surrounding aura erupted fiercely before swiftly contracting, radiating a profoundly enigmatic presence.

"Hoo!"

He lifted his hand and jabbed forward; space quivered faintly as rich earthy yellow radiance converged in response.

Mystery of Earth!

This strand of mystery now pulsed with far greater vitality and grandeur than ever, resembling a sentient being brimming with spirit.

"Earth possesses boundless vastness and weight."

"The earth bears all creation and crushes all beneath it." Countless enlightenments surged through Jiang Ye’s thoughts.

"Suppress." With a soft downward push of his palm,

The earthy yellow glow instantly coalesced into a colossal palm, bearing down virtually from above.

Rumble! Crackle crackle!

Fine fissures tore through the void, spiderwebbing outward before rapidly mending under unseen laws.

The sight was breathtaking.

A mere light press, devoid of any Martial Arts backing, had ripped cracks in the void.

This dreadful might could endanger even a Peak of Seven Breaks expert.

"As expected, it’s Eight Breaks caliber."

"The Mystery of Earth has hit Eight Breaks!" Ecstasy filled Jiang Ye’s heart.

Per the original scheme,

Elevating the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth to Quasi-Eight Breaks counted as triumph.

Unexpectedly, the high-tier Purple Spirit Crystal's potency propelled him straight across into full Eight Breaks.

"Eight Breaks versus Quasi-Eight Breaks,"

"one mere word apart yet separated by vast chasms." Jiang Ye reflected: "At just Quasi-Eight Breaks, my cosmic comprehension wouldn’t have shifted so radically from before."

Through Jiang Ye’s current eyes,

The Mystery of Earth had achieved a core evolution.

In turn, the Mysterious Power under his command surged dramatically stronger.

"Some Purple Spirit Crystal remains."

"Could it push other mysteries forward?" Jiang Ye shut his eyes.

Just moments passed.

Swish~ His eyes snapped open again, a flicker of disappointment crossing them.

The Purple Spirit Crystal lay fully depleted, yet failed to advance the remaining four Basic Mysteries.

Jiang Ye had anticipated as much.

The swift surge of Mystery of Earth stemmed from his outstanding affinity for earth elements, something he’d sensed earlier while probing the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth.

"Pushing Mystery of Earth to Eight Breaks suffices for Fatian Xiangdi cultivation."

"Such a shame," Jiang Ye lamented inwardly: "Had the other mysteries reached Quasi-Eight Breaks too, Fatian Xiangdi’s potency would soar."

The divide between Peak of Seven Breaks and Eight Breaks loomed immense.

Merging one Eight Breaks mystery with four at Peak of Seven Breaks proved daunting.

Far simpler to blend Eight Breaks with Quasi-Eight Breaks ones.

Right as regret washed over Jiang Ye,

Abruptly~

"Hmm?" His face changed abruptly; he rose and blurred into a Flowing Light, shooting out the door.

...

Beyond the dwelling.

"Sister Zixuan?" Jiang Ye inquired curiously, "Are you here for me?"

"Yes."

"Grandfather sent this for you via me—take it." Zhao Zixuan turned her palm, revealing a golden treasure at once.

Shaped like a Flat Peach, the golden treasure gleamed smooth and plump, exuding a refreshing mint scent.

"This aura?"

"Yet another high-tier Enlightenment treasure?" Surprise lit Jiang Ye’s features.

His keen senses picked it out instantly: this outshone even the high-tier Purple Spirit Crystal he’d just absorbed.

"Jiang Ye, Grandfather’s gift." Zhao Zixuan pouted, "No refusing it."

"Your grandfather? Senior Zhao Tiangang?" Astonishment hit Jiang Ye.

A Third Tier Demigod bestowing treasure?

Clearly, the elder recognized his promise.

"Did he discern my proficiency level?" Jiang Ye wondered silently.

Little delay followed.

"Very well."

"My thanks to the Celestial Gang Palace Master’s generosity." Jiang Ye spoke sincerely: "I’ll repay it fittingly one day."

"Good." Zhao Zixuan’s eyes curved in a grin, "These past days, city factions have swarmed to meet you."

"Here’s a stash of their gifts I gathered—check them out."

She passed him a storage ring.

"Gifts?" Jiang Ye accepted the ring; a swift Telekinesis scan brought surprise to his expression.

Dozens of treasures filled the storage ring.

Most ranged from Sixth Break to Seventh Break quality, all top-notch.

Evidently,

City powers had intel on Jiang Ye as an early Sixth Break powerhouse, so they offered no superior items.
