High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 738 - 382: Noble Titles and the Star Domain Battlefield

However, the Huanglong Civilization stands out distinctly.

As a second-tier Starry Sky Civilization, Huanglong has evidently built a complete and refined system.

Individuals who earn nobility titles receive them straight from the planet's will itself!!

Suddenly.

"Star Lord, City Lord," Jiang Ye abruptly recalled: "I heard before that clearing the fourteenth floor of the Black Tower grants a 'Third-class General Order'.

"Does this Third-class General Order connect to nobility titles?"

"It's connected, though not completely," the White-robed Star Lord replied: "The General Order stems from Huanglong Civilization's military structure."

"A Third-class General Order lets you command three thousand soldiers."

"A Second-class General Order allows command over five thousand troops."

"A First-class General Order permits leading ten thousand soldiers."

The White-robed Star Lord clarified: "Receiving a 'General-level' nobility title grants a First-class General Order automatically."

Jiang Ye got it.

That meant a nobility title came bundled with the General Order automatically.

Yet possessing a General Order didn't guarantee a nobility title.

"The Star Lord shares this with me," Jiang Ye remarked suddenly, "expecting me to join the Star Domain Battlefield?"

"Heh, exactly right."

The White-robed Star Lord smiled and nodded: "I won't keep it from you—as a citizen of Barbaric Dragon Star, if you shine in the Star Domain Battlefield, this Star Lord benefits greatly too."

"Thus."

"Should you choose to enter the Star Domain Battlefield, voice any requests, and this Star Lord will do everything possible." The White-robed Star Lord declared earnestly.

Jiang Ye felt a shock inside.

He grasped the immense value in those words.

For a Star Lord, such a pledge rivaled a path to godhood.

However...

Join the Star Domain Battlefield? Jiang Ye had planned to wrap up the trial shortly.

After a brief reflection.

"Star Lord," Jiang Ye inquired, "how does the Star Domain Battlefield function? And what's the path to nobility titles?"

"This isn't some hidden secret."

"The Star Domain Battlefield originated as a cosmic ruin," the White-robed Star Lord explained, "stretching across thousands of light-years in immense scale. Strangely, it stays concealed in the cosmos normally, undetectable even by us."

"It emerges just once every century."

Jiang Ye paid close attention.

The Star Lord's account differed sharply from Zhao Zixuan's earlier version.

Evidently, the Star Lord's knowledge proved far deeper.

"Our Huanglong Star System discovered it first," the White-robed Star Lord continued. "The cosmic ruin held vast fortunes, propelling Huanglong Civilization's swift ascent."

"Word soon spread, drawing notice from nearby second-tier Starry Sky Civilizations."

"This sparked fierce struggles among the great civilizations."

"From then on, that enormous cosmic ruin earned the name 'Star Domain Battlefield.'"

"Alongside Huanglong Civilization, powers like Haisan Civilization and Cangxu Civilization—fellow second-tier Starry Sky Civilizations—also dive into the Star Domain Battlefield," the White-robed Star Lord added.

Jiang Ye's mind stirred.

Cangxu Civilization?

Wasn't that the Star Domain housing Blue Star?

The Cangxu Civilization joined the Star Domain Battlefield too?

Blue Star remained oblivious to such matters, clearly too insignificant to partake...

"Within the Star Domain Battlefield, you'll face elite geniuses from leading second-tier Starry Sky Civilizations."

"Defeating them yields 'Huanglong Merit,'" the White-robed Star Lord stated, "Gather sufficient Huanglong Merit, and nobility titles become yours."

"I understand," Jiang Ye nodded.

"Wang Ye."

"Though you've risen to fame on Barbaric Dragon Star, against those elite geniuses from second-tier civilizations, your odds of victory remain slim," the White-robed Star Lord gazed at him, "with high danger of death."

"Therefore."

"If you prefer not to join, I won't compel you; the choice is yours alone," the White-robed Star Lord affirmed.

Jiang Ye felt momentarily surprised.

The Star Lord had noted earlier that across Huanglong Civilization, his talent didn't rank at the pinnacle.

Still, against peers in the same realm, Jiang Ye held strong faith in himself.

Now the Star Lord warned of grave peril??

"Star Lord, do you mean the peril from other Extraordinary experts at the same realm?" Jiang Ye had to ask.

"Of course," the Star Lord confirmed with a nod.

"What strength do those foes possess?" Jiang Ye furrowed his brow and pressed.

The White-robed Star Lord burst into laughter.

With his vast experience, he easily spotted Jiang Ye's underlying doubt.

"You seem brimming with self-assurance," he remarked with a faint smile, unsurprised, "Mastering the five Basic Mysteries truly sets you apart from the masses."

"Yet on the cosmic stage."

"Grasping the five Basic Mysteries marks just the baseline for elite talents—merely their entry level," the White-robed Star Lord observed.

Jiang Ye stood stunned for a moment.

Entry level at five Basic Mysteries? That intense?

"Consider this."

"The Fifth Break tempers the five organs, forming the foundation for the five Basic Mysteries," the White-robed Star Lord elaborated. "Hence, those elite talents embed the origins tied to the five Mysteries right at the Fifth Break."

"They possess that foundation."

Jiang Ye nodded faintly.

Things like Heart Fire.

Such origin treasures, priceless gems for Blue Star Civilization, might be scarce in second-tier ones but surely accessible to elite talents.

"Upon hitting the Sixth Break."

"They swiftly unlock the five Basic Mysteries," the White-robed Star Lord noted. "This stands as a vital milestone."

"From Sixth Break to Ninth Break, differences lie only in Mystery proficiency, not core realm barriers."

"Once their Mystery reaches the required depth, realm progression faces no true obstacles,"

"So countless prodigies halt at Sixth or Seventh Break, pushing their Mysteries to ever-greater heights," the White-robed Star Lord detailed.

"Why choose that?" Jiang Ye questioned, confused.

"To seize fortunes, to claim nobility titles," the White-robed Star Lord responded.

Jiang Ye saw the picture.

These 'elite talents' the White-robed Star Lord described deliberately suppressed their realm at Sixth Break to maximize battle prowess endlessly.

The aim: battle for supremacy among geniuses.

No wonder!

That explained the Star Lord's warning of deadly risk.

"In other words."

"These 'elite talents' lingering at Sixth Break," Jiang Ye blurted, "keep their realm there while elevating Mysteries to Eighth Break peaks, or even Ninth Break?"

"Hitting Ninth Break proves extremely tough."

"A Sixth Break expert lasts at most two centuries," the White-robed Star Lord shook his head, "solely Ninth Break surpasses three hundred years of life."

"Still, over a century suffices for fresh insights."

"Such as Laws," the White-robed Star Lord added.

Jiang Ye trembled inwardly.

Precisely!

Beyond Eighth Break Mystery levels, advancement crawls.

But a hundred years' span allows grasping Laws.

This revelation laid bare the terror of these elite talents for Jiang Ye.

Picture clashing with a rival wielding five Basic Mysteries and assorted Laws, all at Eighth Break caliber... Even current Jiang Ye might falter against that.

Remember, the Black Tower's fifteenth-floor guardian lacks Law mastery.

"Star Lord."

"You said earlier that killing elite talents from second-tier Starry Sky Civilizations earns Huanglong Merit," Jiang Ye pressed, "Are they all that formidable?"

"Far from all."

"Second-tier Starry Sky Civilizations don't breed solely such freaks, yet some exist—and plenty," the White-robed Star Lord chuckled, "Meeting them boils down to chance."

"Naturally."

"Toppling such adversaries nets you massive Huanglong Merit."

Jiang Ye smiled and shook his head.

Down such elite talents?

Ridiculous notion.

Prodigies like them hoard countless aces and bask in potent fortune, rendering them nightmarishly tough.

The core problem: they might be 'veterans' past a century old.

Spot one, and fleeing becomes the sole smart move.

"Very well."

"I've shared all there is," the White-robed Star Lord regarded Jiang Ye, "The decision to enter the Star Domain Battlefield rests with you."

At those words, Jiang Ye sank into contemplation.
