High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 798 - 403: Hidden Heaven Dragon-Sealing Formation, Slaying the Heaven’s Chosen with the Array!

"A hundred days? How could this be?" Jiang Ye was utterly astounded.

Within his own perception, mere moments had elapsed. Yet, to his astonishment, an entire century had flown by in the real world.

"A hundred days prior..."

"You suddenly entered a peculiar state. Initially, I believed you were in an Enlightenment, so I chose not to disturb you," Bai Gui recounted. "However, after several days, your energy flow began to reverse, as if you were possessed, intent on dissipating all your cultivation."

"Reverse energy flow?" Jiang Ye was immediately alarmed.

A normal energy flow is crucial for enhancing one's cultivation. But what if this flow were to invert?

In less severe instances, it could lead to a regression of power and bleeding from the seven apertures. In critical cases, the Guanyuan Acupoint might collapse, Star Energy could surge backward, potentially even shattering the Sea of Consciousness.

Considering this, Jiang Ye swiftly conducted a self-examination.

At that precise instant, an agonizing, twisting pain coursed through him, almost beyond endurance.

Fortunately, Jiang Ye had endured countless excruciating trials on the second layer of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder, rendering him virtually impervious to pain. This resilience prevented him from succumbing at this moment.

"My Guanyuan Acupoint?"

"It almost ruptured?" Jiang Ye's expression turned grim, but a sense of relief soon followed.

By sheer luck, his foundation was exceptionally robust.

Fortified by the White Dragon True Divine Scripture, Jiang Ye's Guanyuan Acupoint had been forged into an impenetrable bastion, its stability vastly superior to others at the same cultivation level.

Had it not been for this strength, it would not merely have suffered cracks.

Instead, an entire Guanyuan Acupoint could have exploded, leading to utter destruction.

"Hmm?"

"It appears the Five Elements Fire also played a part." Jiang Ye deduced that the Five Elements Fire had safeguarded his crucial organs and even stabilized his Divine Soul.

Otherwise, he feared he might have been dispersed into nothingness.

"Terrifying..." Jiang Ye shivered, profoundly grateful that Bai Gui had roused him. The repercussions, had he remained unconscious, were too dreadful to contemplate.

"Were you attempting to comprehend those two Harmonizing Agents?" Bai Gui inquired.

"I wasn't comprehending; I was merely trying to observe them," Jiang Ye replied, shaking his head.

"I had warned you."

"Do not attempt such things lightly," Bai Gui sighed. "The Harmonizing Agents of Heaven and Earth represent the universe's most extreme laws; grasping them requires immense difficulty."

"Even mere observation is forbidden?" Jiang Ye was incredulous; the entire experience felt profoundly surreal.

In his memory, he had only observed for a fleeting instant. Yet, in reality, a hundred days had vanished.

"It's fortunate you only observed."

"Had you attempted to comprehend them, you might have simply exploded and perished," Bai Gui sternly cautioned. "Never repeat this mistake in the future."

"Hmm." Jiang Ye let out a soft sigh, a trace of regret lingering.

A hundred days... a full hundred days!

He had squandered an entire century!

It was imperative to remember that one could only remain within the Dao Stele for a maximum of three hundred days. Upon exiting, they would inevitably face the onslaught of the coalition forces.

If he could not attain a level sufficient to challenge these prodigies within this limited timeframe,

Jiang Ye would be compelled to concede the assessment.

"Continue your cultivation, then."

Jiang Ye did not dare to delay, immediately seizing the opportune moment to resume his cultivation.

As Jiang Ye once again began to focus on the heavens, a distinctly different sensation permeated his being.

"Hmm?"

"This world..." Jiang Ye's expression suddenly shifted to one of shock. "My ability to comprehend the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth seems to have improved significantly?"

Jiang Ye felt a measure of disbelief and decided to test it further.

Soon after, his entire body trembled.

There was no mistake!

His comprehension capabilities regarding the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth had indeed undergone a substantial enhancement!

"Most critically..."

"After my Five Great Mysteries advanced to the Eight Breaks Mid-stage, I encountered a bottleneck," Jiang Ye mused. "But now, this obstacle has silently dissolved."

"My rate of comprehending the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth has also drastically increased."

"At least threefold faster than before!" Jiang Ye estimated internally, his astonishment growing.

This was almost unbelievable.

One had to consider that understanding the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth was an extraordinarily arduous task.

Every incremental step represented a major breakthrough, and each stage presented its own formidable bottleneck.

Yet now, Jiang Ye felt an unparalleled clarity throughout his body; the act of comprehending mysteries felt as effortless as breathing and eating!

"Could it be..."

"That my observation of those two Harmonizing Agents is responsible?" Jiang Ye's heart stirred with realization.

Only this explanation could account for such a profound transformation.

"But..."

"I only observed them," Jiang Ye pondered. "Why would this enhance my comprehension of Heaven and Earth?"

"Light and shadow... the ultimate laws." Jiang Ye's mind swirled with profound contemplation.

Quickly, he decided to set aside these complex thoughts for the time being.

"This is the moment to seize and strive for advancement."

"Now, perhaps I can delve deeper." Jiang Ye's mind raced.

Whoosh!

He rose to his feet and ventured further into the resplendent, multicolored hall.

Before long, Jiang Ye had progressed several hundred meters, coming to another halt.

"This spot will suffice," Jiang Ye mused. "The Heaven and Earth Power here is significantly more potent than before."

Crucially, the oppressive pressure was too immense, allowing him to endure only up to this juncture.

To venture further would extinguish any desire for cultivation.

"It appears that the tempering Bai Mu spoke of refers to this very pressure," Jiang Ye considered. "I am simply uncertain what kind of opportunity I might obtain."

As per Bai Mu's account, rewards would be distributed following three hundred days at the Dao Stele.

In other words,

The magnitude of the opportunity one reaps is directly contingent on their performance during these three hundred days.

At this juncture, Jiang Ye had long since abandoned any hope of grasping the ultimate opportunity.

After all,

Both Prince Zijun and Qingmei had advanced further than he had.

"For me," Jiang Ye expressed contentment, "Cultivating within the Dao Stele is already the greatest opportunity afforded to me."

Whoosh~

Jiang Ye gently closed his eyes, resuming his cultivation.

...

A cultivator loses track of time when practicing the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Law.

Numerous powerful individuals engage in seclusion for months or even years as a standard practice.

And for Jiang Ye, cultivating within the Dao Stele was no different, with time seeming to vanish in an instant.
