High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 793 - 401: A Way Out in Desperation, the Dao Stele

It was no wonder he was so taken aback.

Qingmei held a unique position as Prince Zijun’s childhood confidante.

And Wang Zilu, his own flesh and blood sister, shared an exceptionally close connection with him.

Yet here they were, both stunning beauties originally associated with him, now inexplicably linked to Jiang Ye, and their connections appeared far from casual!

What in the world was unfolding?

"Zilu."

Prince Zijun couldn't help but inquire, "Do you know Jiang Ye from before?"

Upon hearing his question, Wang Zilu didn't reply instantly. Instead, a smile played on her lips, and she cast a glance at Jiang Ye, seemingly assessing his reaction.

"To be truthful," Jiang Ye stated plainly, cupping his hands slightly, "I do indeed know Princess Wang Zilu. I happened to save her life within a certain Secret Realm."

For Jiang Ye,

He and Prince Zijun, along with the others, were already in the same predicament, their fates intertwined.

Therefore, he felt no apprehension in revealing his identity at this juncture.

"I..." Wang Zilu began to interject but then paused, realizing the truth of his statement.

It was indeed true that Jiang Ye had rescued her during their expedition to the Star Realm Sea.

However, at that time, she had merely been indulging in a bit of amusement, feigning weakness against her adversary. Had Jiang Ye not intervened, she could have handled the situation herself.

A sudden clarity dawned upon Wang Zilu as she recalled this.

Indeed, he had saved me!

"Mm," Wang Zilu affirmed with a charming smile, revealing two lovely dimples. "Jiang Ye saved me; he is my benefactor too!"

Prince Zijun’s face became a mask of exasperation.

Was this something to boast about?

"Jiang Ye, I shall never forget your life-saving grace," Wang Zilu playfully mimicked, cupping her hands once more. "Should the opportunity arise, I will surely reward you handsomely!"

"There's no need for such formalities," Jiang Ye replied with a smile.

Listening to their exchange, Prince Zijun could no longer contain himself.

"Zilu!" he exclaimed.

"Your brother has also saved you on numerous occasions," Prince Zijun reminded her gently. "How come I haven't received any words of gratitude?"

"How could that possibly be the same?" Wang Zilu shot him a look. "Zhong Deng."

Prince Zijun’s complexion darkened considerably, feeling as if a piece of his heart had just crumbled.

"Don't expect me to be your scapegoat in the future!" Prince Zijun declared coldly.

"Oh, come now, brother, I was merely teasing you," Wang Zilu quickly chimed in with a laugh. "Why would I call you Zhong Deng? I was referring to that cousin..."

...

"Jiang Ye, they are just like that," Qingmei said with a helpless shake of her head.

Jiang Ye merely shrugged, unconcerned with such trivial matters.

"Qingmei."

"What sort of Opportunities are present within this Great Dao Monument?" Jiang Ye inquired out of curiosity.

"The most renowned Opportunity here involves comprehending the world," Qingmei explained. "As for the others, you can consult Bai Mu; he possesses more knowledge on the subject than I do."

"Understood," Jiang Ye nodded.

Without delay,

He approached Bai Mu and sought information about the Opportunities available.

"It's quite straightforward."

"The Great Dao Monument is, in essence, a treasure trove of space left behind by the ancestors of our Bai Race," Bai Mu revealed. "Within this unique space, numerous peculiar elements await independent exploration."

"This space is remarkably vast."

"Over the long expanse of time, our descendants of the Bai Race have yet to fully chart its entirety," Bai Mu confessed with a shake of his head.

Jiang Ye couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise.

This space is vast? Isn't it just a grand hall?

"It may appear as merely a grand hall," Bai Mu seemed to perceive his thoughts, responding with a smile and a slight headshake. "However, as one ventures deeper, you will discover that this grand hall extends infinitely."

"You will never reach its conclusion."

"Based on the patterns observed in our explorations,"

"The farther one ventures, the greater the Opportunity one can obtain," Bai Mu stated solemnly. "However, you must act within your capabilities, for venturing too deep might result in becoming lost within, never to return."

Jiang Ye's expression shifted, "Is there some kind of trial involved?"

"It's not precisely a trial."

"It's more akin to a tempering process, and this tempering itself offers immense benefits," Bai Mu elaborated. "There are even legends suggesting that individuals have attained the Demigod realm by continuously undergoing such tempering."

"Regarding the Opportunities,"

"Once you achieve a certain degree of tempering, you will be granted corresponding Opportunities," Bai Mu explained. "It's even conceivable that you might acquire the entirety of the Great Dao Monument; such a possibility is not entirely out of reach."

Jiang Ye's eyes betrayed his burgeoning excitement.
