High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 794 - 402: Wang Zilu and Chen Zilu? The Ultimate Terror (7K Monthly Ticket Request)

Upon hearing Bai Mu’s words, Jiang Ye felt a flicker of excitement.

According to Bai Mu, the deeper one ventured, the greater the rewards.

It was even possible to obtain the entire Dao Stele!

"Oh, that's right."

"I neglected to mention that time within the Dao Stele flows thirty times faster than in the outside world," Bai Mu added with a grin. "Thirty days spent here equate to merely one day passing outside."

"However, due to access limitations, our stay is capped at three hundred days."

"After three hundred days, the Dao Stele will inevitably eject us," Bai Mu stated.

A thirty-fold time dilation rate!?

Jiang Ye inhaled sharply; the revelation was astounding.

At such a pace, after three hundred days concluded, only ten days would have elapsed in the world beyond.

"What if someone were to acquire the complete Dao Stele?" Jiang Ye couldn't refrain from asking.

"Practically impossible."

Bai Mu shook his head, explaining, "Throughout the ages, the Dao Stele has remained here, and no one has ever managed to claim it."

"The challenge in obtaining it likely surpasses anything you or I could fathom," Bai Mu reiterated, shaking his head.

Jiang Ye understood.

He didn't harbor excessive concern.

Even with a mere three hundred days, it was more than sufficient.

The Heaven and Earth Power here was so abundant that even without delving into the Dao Stele's interior, cultivating here for three hundred days represented an opportunity beyond measure.

"Thank you, Brother Bai Mu, for dispelling my doubts." Jiang Ye clasped his hands in a respectful salute.

"No need for such formality, Brother Wang Ye," Bai Mu quickly returned the gesture, appearing somewhat taken aback.

Jiang Ye was momentarily surprised, then quickly grasped the reason.

Following the significant battle earlier, his standing and position now seemed to be nearly equivalent to those regarded as prodigies, such as Prince Zijun and Qing Mei.

Even in the estimation of Bai Mu, the chief extraordinary of the Bai Race, he was now viewed as a respected peer.

Unbeknownst to Jiang Ye at that precise moment.

Behind Bai Mu, a gaze filled with complex emotions was quietly fixed upon him.

The one casting this look was a young woman clad in white gauze, her eyes as serene as still water, her flawless countenance unblemished.

This was Bai Xi, who had previously been part of Jiang Ye's team.

Unlike Bai Mu, whose regard for Jiang Ye was purely respectful, Bai Xi's gaze carried a subtle undertone of regret alongside her respect.

"Should I approach and greet him?"

"Perhaps not," Bai Xi’s eyes dimmed slightly. "I was the one who chose to leave the team back then; in his eyes, I must appear as a deserter."

To encounter an old acquaintance yet be unable to step forward and acknowledge them.

At this juncture, Bai Xi’s heart was undoubtedly a tempest of conflicting emotions.

...

"Wang Ye, let us proceed." Wang Zilu approached with a smile. "We shall venture towards the depths together."

Prince Zijun and Qing Mei also approached, walking side-by-side.

"We, too, will be exploring further," Bai Mu announced, rising along with his contingent.

Earlier, they had been focused on stabilizing their condition and had not yet ventured into the deeper sections.

"Let's move out," Jiang Ye nodded.

Whoosh!

He strode forward.

The assembly from the Bai Race, under Bai Mu's leadership, along with Zi Yaozhi and the others, formed a fan-shaped formation, clearing a path for him.

As Jiang Ye, Prince Zijun, and Qing Mei reached the front, the contingent gradually coalesced, following the trio towards the inner reaches of the hall.

This arrangement clearly positioned the three individuals at the forefront.

"Prodigies naturally form the vanguard of the team," Prince Zijun remarked with a grin. "Proceeding at the head also means confronting the most significant trials."

"However, I am not precisely a prodigy," Jiang Ye stated with a slight shake of his head.

"You will be, sooner rather than later," Prince Zijun responded cheerfully.

A nascent curiosity stirred within Jiang Ye, prompting him to inquire, "What are the prerequisites for attaining the status of a prodigy?"

He was aware that the Huanglong Civilization possessed methods for elevating individuals to prodigy status.

Yet, not everyone received the chance for such an advancement.

There must be a price or a requirement involved.

"You are unaware?" Prince Zijun looked genuinely surprised.

"Brother, he hails from Barbaric Dragon Star; naturally, he would be unfamiliar with such matters," Wang Zilu interjected helpfully.

"Ah, indeed," Prince Zijun said with a smile. "The primary condition for becoming a prodigy is achieving the Demigod realm."

"Secondly, one must participate in the [Hundred-Star Divine War] and secure a respectable ranking within it," Prince Zijun elaborated.

"Hundred-Star Divine War?"

"Are you referring to the Hundred Stars of Huanglong?" Jiang Ye sounded slightly perplexed.

"Certainly not," Prince Zijun replied, shaking his head. "The Hundred-Star Divine War is a grand competition orchestrated by more than a hundred secondary starry sky civilizations within the 'White Dragon Star System Group.'"

"The designation 'Hundred Stars' is merely a conventional term."

"The entry requirement for the Hundred-Star Divine War is a demigod at the very least, which is why it bears the name 'Divine War,'" Prince Zijun stated with gravity.

Jiang Ye held his breath, his mind reeling.

A conflict involving over a hundred secondary starry sky civilizations? And a war specifically between demigods!

The sheer scale of such an event had to be breathtaking.

"Hold on a moment..."

"White Dragon Star System Group?" Jiang Ye’s attention snagged on the term. "What is that place?"

"The White Dragon Star System Group is an immense super star system group situated within the Seventh Star Domain," Prince Zijun replied with a grin. "You are familiar with the Seventh Star Domain, aren't you?"

"I have heard of it," Jiang Ye confirmed with a nod.

Caiyi had mentioned it previously.

The Seventh Star Domain was described as the seventh such domain to emerge at the fringes of the [Star Domain Sea].

Whether it was the Blue Star Civilization, the Huanglong Civilization, the Caikun Civilization, or even the former White Dragon Civilization, all were geographically located within this Seventh Star Domain.

"It appears Brother Wang is not widely informed."

"Not to worry," Prince Zijun said cheerfully. "Allow me to elaborate."

"In the grand cosmic tapestry, the most fundamental grouping of galaxies is recognized as a [Star System Group]."

"Each star system group contains billions of regular star systems, with over a million designated as life-sustaining star systems."

"Furthermore, a [Super Star System Group] is composed of several hundred distinct star system groups."

"The White Dragon Star System Group we currently inhabit is precisely such a super star system group," Prince Zijun detailed. "Legend has it that a supreme civilization once held sway, uniting this entire super star system group, which led to it being named the White Dragon Star System Group."

Jiang Ye's expression shifted dramatically. "The White Dragon Civilization?"
