High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 784 - 399: Fame Spreads Among Second-Tier Civilizations, Shocking the World!

Hai Qingxin, a renowned prodigy from the Haisan Civilization, voiced her concern, "Did we just fail?"

"Do you believe that's possible?" Mo Wushuang retorted, his gaze indifferent as he looked at her. "If I had intended to kill him, he would not have managed to escape."

Hai Qingxin's eyes shimmered as she inquired, "What do you mean?" As an extraordinary talent, her words held immense sway, and her thoughts could unravel all mysteries.

A notion formed in her mind with his statement.

"You intend to inflate his value before eliminating him?" Hai Qingxin surmised.

"Precisely," Mo Wushuang confirmed with a slight nod.

Currently, the Cangxu Civilization's assessment of Jiang Ye is merely C-Level.

If they were to strike him down now, the gains would be insignificant.

However, following this impending battle, Jiang Ye's reputation would undoubtedly soar, elevating his standing in the war rankings.

At that juncture, the rewards reaped would be far more substantial.

"But the next time, we might not find such a favorable opportunity," Hai Qingxin stated, her brow furrowed.

This time, their advantage was immense, with four of them facing two opponents.

Yet, should they encounter them again, the Huanglong Civilization would surely deploy more exceptional talents.

"Do not concern yourself."

"This Initial Realm has been ensnared by my 'Cosmic Jar'; entry and exit are restricted to our people," Mo Wushuang declared calmly. "Wang Ye and that Qing Mei are already ensnared within."

Hai Qingxin's eyes gleamed upon hearing "Cosmic Jar," though a shadow of apprehension flickered within them.

The Cosmic Jar, a relic of the illustrious 'Tian Cang Venerable' from the Cangxu Civilization, commanded immense power.

Its prowess surpassed even that of the Star-Suppressing Tower.

"Did Tian Cang Venerable bestow this artifact upon you?" Hai Qingxin could not help but question.

"Why shouldn't he have?" A nearby young man with purple hair chuckled. "Mo Wushuang is the premier disciple under Tian Cang Venerable; to whom else would he entrust it?"

Adorning his head were a pair of robust purple horns, encircled by a subtle violet aura. The spiraling tips pointed skyward, radiating an aura befitting royalty.

He, too, was an extraordinary prodigy hailing from the Cangxu Civilization.

"Mo Wushuang."

"Since Venerable has entrusted you with the Cosmic Jar, has he assigned you a specific mission?" the young man with purple horns inquired.

"Indeed," Mo Wushuang affirmed.

"Firstly, the elimination of all extraordinary talents from the Huanglong Civilization," Mo Wushuang stated impassively. "As for their prodigious talents, the more, the better."

"Secondly."

"It naturally pertains to this Initial Realm," Mo Wushuang remarked, surveying his surroundings.

Even as the foremost disciple of Tian Cang Venerable, obtaining an artifact as supreme as the 'Cosmic Jar' outright was an impossibility.

Such an item, if it fell into the hands of opposing civilizations, would represent a significant strategic loss.

The formidable risk Tian Cang Venerable undertook to bestow him with this treasure.

Was intrinsically linked to the opportunities present within the [Initial Realm].

"It is whispered," Mo Wushuang began softly, "that the ancestors of the Bai Race once deposited a 'Monument of Great Dao' within the Initial Realm." "Should I acquire this artifact, my Laws may ascend to the demigod level prior to the Civilization Struggle."

Upon hearing this revelation, eager expressions blossomed on the faces of Hai Qingxin, the purple-horned youth, and the others present.

To command the power of Laws at the demigod stage!

Achieving this would suffice to dominate the majority of peers during the 'Civilization Struggle'.

"Civilization Struggle..." Hai Qingxin softly echoed the words.

Even as prodigious talents, their focus was firmly set on preparing for the Civilization Struggle.

The Civilization Struggle, categorized by cultivation realms, unfolded across three distinct battlefield tiers: 'below Sixth Break', 'Sixth Break to Ninth Break', and 'above Ninth Break'.

Each tier was further subdivided into numerous battlefields, meticulously segmented based on innate talents.

Among these, the 'Sixth Break to Ninth Break' tier held profound significance, often proving decisive.

This was due to the sheer concentration of talents within this particular stage of cultivation.

It is crucial to note that the realm classifications here did not account for the depth of one's comprehension of the universe's principles.

Consequently, even individuals whose understanding of profound mysteries and Laws had reached the demigod level, but whose cultivation realm remained below Ninth Break, would still be positioned within the 'Sixth Break to Ninth Break' battlefield.

"Attaining demigod status in Laws?" Hai Qingxin sighed subtly.

For prodigious talents, the mere act of reaching demigod status was not an insurmountable hurdle.

However, their objective was to elevate their comprehension of Laws to the demigod level *before* achieving the breakthrough in their cultivation realm.

This endeavor was as arduous as scaling the heavens themselves!

Even for those blessed with prodigious talent, the challenge was immense, stemming not from a deficiency in aptitude, but from the inherent limitations of mortal existence.

"A demigod, while not yet fully attaining divinity."

"However, compared to the Ninth Break, it represents a qualitative leap." Hai Qingxin pondered, "In terms of both perception and life essence, it is fundamentally different from before."

Once one attains demigod status, comprehending the profound mysteries and Laws of that level becomes considerably easier.

Most demigods prioritize cultivating their own realm first; upon elevating their life level to the demigod state, they then proceed to nurture their understanding of heaven and earth.

But what if the process was reversed? It would present a challenge a hundred times greater!

The gap in understanding the mysteries and Laws of the demigod realm is vast when compared to the Ninth Break.

"Yet, what if one were to acquire the Monument of Great Dao?"

"That would change everything!" Hai Qingxin also displayed a look of deep longing. "This Monument of Great Dao can significantly aid in the breakthrough of Laws; its effectiveness is rumored to be a hundredfold more astonishing than even the Laws Fruit!"

"However."

"Where, precisely, is the Monument of Great Dao concealed?" Hai Qingxin directed her gaze toward Mo Wushuang.

The young man adorned with purple horns, along with another individual of extraordinary talent, also turned their expectant eyes to Mo Wushuang.

Their gazes were undeniably alight with palpable greed.

Such an incredibly valuable treasure, a prize that every single soul yearns to possess.

"Do not grow impatient."

Mo Wushuang uttered with a certain indifference, "Each time the Star Domain Battlefield is unveiled, the Monument of Great Dao makes its appearance."

"Our task is simply to await its emergence."

"This Initial Realm is already firmly within our grasp," Mo Wushuang declared. "The Monument of Great Dao will inevitably become ours."

Upon hearing this declaration, Hai Qingxin, the youth with the purple horns, and the others offered subtle nods of agreement.

All of them settled into a posture of patient anticipation.

...

Outside, upon the grand flying fortress.
