"Enough."
"First, we’ll raise the five Basic Mysteries up to the Eight Breaks." Jiang Ye mused inwardly, gradually shutting his eyes.
Rustle~ Countless Enlightenment artifacts suddenly materialized.
Once more, Jiang Ye immersed himself in grueling cultivation.
...
Time flew by.
Two months afterward, Jiang Ye got a summons from the Black Obsidian Deity and made his way to the Black Obsidian Divine Palace for the divine inheritance.
On this occasion, the Black Obsidian Deity passed down a spear art named "Shattered Star".
Though not the core legacy of the Black Obsidian Deity, this spear technique encapsulated insights from His numerous supreme spear arts.
Moreover, it embodied the Black Obsidian Deity’s profound grasp of the Spear Path.
"Buzz~"
With a point from the Black Obsidian Deity, vast inheritance knowledge surged straight into Jiang Ye’s mind.
"This ’Shattered Star’ stands as a divine-level spear technique masterpiece."
"It ought to offer you considerable aid before you achieve divinity." The Black Obsidian Deity stated, "Don’t make it your main technique—treat it merely as a guide."
"Yet you may try weaving it into your core spear technique."
"Live by learning from me, die by imitating me."
Every piece of advice from the Black Obsidian Deity served purely as reference material, never to be copied outright... that was His unwavering principle.
"Thank you, Teacher, for your guidance." Jiang Ye bowed deeply with utmost respect.
Though not his formal master, the Black Obsidian Deity had granted such invaluable inheritance, surpassing typical teacher-disciple bonds.
"No thanks required."
"Your outstanding displays earned it." The Black Obsidian City Lord gazed at him, eyes brimming with admiration.
During these two months, he had instructed Jiang Ye on several occasions.
Every session, Jiang Ye showcased incredible aptitude, advancing swiftly in spear techniques.
Such feats even astonished the Black Obsidian Deity.
Thus, He took a liking to this talented youth.
Without a true master-disciple tie, the Black Obsidian Deity still chose to impart this precious art, viewing it as a modest wager.
"You depart tomorrow."
"In the Star Domain Battlefield, I have just one demand for you." The Black Obsidian Deity fixed him with a stare: "Come back alive."
"Yes." A hint of solemnity weighed on Jiang Ye too.
In recent days, he had come to understand the Star Domain Battlefield’s brutal nature.
Stepping into that realm meant teetering on the edge of life and death!
No strict laws governed it there; a savage wilderness where the strong devoured the weak, and only the mighty held sway.
"Take this." The Black Obsidian Deity flicked his finger.
Swish! A streak of light shot toward Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye swiftly grasped it; an old black token lay in his hand.
"Keep this token safe."
"Once you arrive at the Star Domain Battlefield, seek out ’Wen Qingwan’." The Black Obsidian Deity instructed, "She hailed from my Black Obsidian City and counts as my disciple too."
"Wen Qingwan?" Jiang Ye felt a faint recollection.
Memories soon surfaced: "The genius who stormed the 9th Layer of the Black Tower years back, then rose to fame on the Huanglong Main Star?"
She was a remarkable figure.
Reaching the 9th Layer of the Black Tower impressed, yet fell short of the elite.
In this era, talents like Zi Yaozhi and Bai Xi could conquer the 13th Layer and higher.
Wen Qingwan had merely hit the 9th Layer then, but she later stunned all on the prodigy-packed Huanglong Main Star.
Her path marked a true legend.
"I’ve committed it to memory, Teacher." Jiang Ye responded promptly; an extra ally meant an extra lifeline.
He wouldn’t pass up such a prime chance.
...
Shortly after.
Jiang Ye took leave of the Black Obsidian Deity and returned to his Black Path Palace.
"Tomorrow, I depart."
"Bound for the Star Domain Battlefield." Seated in meditation, Jiang Ye’s gaze flickered with feeling.
His three months in Black Obsidian City brought immense gains.
Reflecting now, the strides in those three months outpaced years of prior effort.
"A deity as teacher brings real advantages." Jiang Ye reflected.
Bai Gui possessed vast knowledge as a Guardian Spirit, yet beyond the True Divine Scripture, offered scant cultivation aid to Jiang Ye.
The Black Obsidian Deity differed entirely.
Across the three months, His guidance never wavered.
"Three months of training."
"All five Basic Mysteries now stand at Eight Breaks." Jiang Ye contemplated, as five-hued radiance swirled about him, coalescing into a massive five-colored Dao Lotus that rotated solemnly behind, exuding holiness and grandeur.
Instantly, he appeared profoundly august, divine aura blazing outward, lighting up the surroundings for miles.
This wasn’t mere flaunting.
It stemmed from his five Basic Mysteries achieving equal mastery, in flawless harmony, birthing this wondrous sight.
Otherwise, any imbalance would shatter the Dao Lotus amid the flux.
"Five Basic Mysteries honed to peak unity, flowing seamlessly." Jiang Ye reflected: "Credit goes to the Luoshen Spear Technique’s refinements."
"Fusing the five Basic Mysteries into the Luoshen Spear Technique as its vessel."
"Not just boosting the spear technique’s might immensely." Jiang Ye marveled: "It also aligned the five Basic Mysteries step by step."
Put simply.
Through these three months, practicing spear techniques equated to tempering the five Basic Mysteries.
Both progressed together, mutually empowering each other.
Culminating in today’s magnificent display.
"Can my present power let me scale the 16th Layer of the Black Tower?" Jiang Ye wondered confidently.
Yet Jiang Ye understood well.
The Black Tower belonged to bygone days.
Ahead loomed a vast, boundless arena—the Star Domain Battlefield.
"Huanglong Merit... Noble titles... Rising to glory in Huanglong." Fierce ambition burned in Jiang Ye’s eyes.
From his current vantage and insight, only stardom in the Star Sea could ignite such fervor.
In a flash.
One day elapsed.
Jiang Ye set forth at last for the Star Domain Battlefield.
