To avoid detection, Jiang Ye considers using his nascent Dao body as the "Marquis of the Blue Sky." He then attempts to ascend the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder, only to find the pressure immense even at the first step, realizing he must become a Demigod to proceed. Jiang Ye returns to Blue Star after six months, finding himself back in his secret training chamber, and senses his Dao body is currently developing.

——Rooted Martial Arts Attainment System——

[Physique: Martial Embryo Sacred Body (Third Tier)][Talent: Extraordinaire (Reconstruction) (Third Tier)][Dao Body: Gestating]——The instant Jiang Ye snapped back to consciousness, the ability "My Name is My Dao" activated, and the Dao Body began to develop. "I don't feel any discomfort," Jiang Ye mused internally, "It appears the so-called splitting of reality isn't a true division of the origin."He had been concerned about this earlier.Would splitting off a Dao Body affect him, perhaps causing a decrease in his cultivation?It seemed those worries were entirely unfounded."Hm?""My physique also advanced to the Third Tier Sacred Body," Jiang Ye suddenly observed, "It appears to be a reaction to my realm's elevation."A physique advancement.Not only does it significantly boost combat strength, but it also sharpens perception, yielding countless advantages.However, at this moment.The benefits Jiang Ye had already gained were substantial, making the physique improvement seem almost trivial in comparison."Let's head back.""I wonder how Teacher and Senior Sister are doing," Jiang Ye pondered, "Half a year has gone by; I hope nothing untoward has happened."With that thought.Jiang Ye rose and exited his chamber, dissolving into the earth and speeding towards the surface.[Mystery of Earth—Earth-Walking Technique!]With his current Earth Mystery at the Eighth Break peak, employing this technique felt vastly different.In a flash, he traversed thousands of meters of subterranean rock.Emerging on the surface....White Dragon University, within the central star edifice.In a commodious conference chamber.Numerous formidable individuals were seated, all high-ranking professors of the university, powerful and respected. Yet, at this moment, their expressions were grim."Currently,""Of the Federation's forty provinces, one has completely succumbed," Bai Jing stated somberly from the head seat. "Following the Shadow Race's assault strategy, the next province likely to fall could very well be West Mountain Province."Hearing Bai Jing's words, the faces of all the powerhouses present darkened.Over the past half-year.The Shadow Race's assaults had grown increasingly relentless, and with the Civilization Struggle drawing near, this trend had only accelerated.And just three months prior, the scope of the Shadow Disaster had abruptly magnified manifold.Previously, a province might experience at most one Seventh Level Shadow Disaster. Now, nearly every city was witnessing outbreaks of Seventh Level Shadow Disasters!A Seventh Level Shadow Disaster indicates the appearance of formidable Shadow Race entities comparable to Eighth Break or even Ninth Break cultivators.At such an intensity, West Sea Province was ultimately breached by the Shadow Race within three months, falling entirely.Fortunately, a significant number of civilians had been evacuated beforehand, averting widespread casualties.Even so, tens of thousands of lives were tragically lost in that conflict."Principal.""Should we still offer reinforcement this time?" a professor inquired, unable to suppress his question. "With such a massive Shadow Disaster, the fall of West Mountain Province seems inevitable. Does providing support still hold any value?""The last time we sent reinforcements, several Seventh Break powerhouses were already lost.""This time, I fear..." the professor's voice trailed off."We must go!" Bai Jing declared resolutely.Observing this, many professors present appeared somewhat perplexed.Only a select few senior powerhouses displayed expressions of sorrow; they grasped Bai Jing's underlying motive."The Federation's forty provinces.""Every parcel of land represents the fortune of our civilization," Qiu Cang murmured. "Each lost inch depletes that fortune.""How can a province not be defended?"With the Civilization Struggle looming.Every sliver of civilization's fortune is paramount for victory.Blue Star has already forfeited one province; should another be lost... then our prospects in the ensuing Civilization Struggle would be nonexistent!"This time," Bai Jing stated gravely, "I shall personally lead the expedition.""Principal, you absolutely must not!""Principal Bai, you are needed to oversee this location.""How can you depart?" The professors were tremendously alarmed; Bai Jing served as the anchor for White Dragon University.If Bai Jing were to perish, who would safeguard White Dragon University?Should a colossal Shadow Disaster erupt in East Sea Province, who would protect this very place?"You are all far too short-sighted..." Bai Jing shook his head slightly, about to elaborate when his expression abruptly shifted."Hm?""That young man, has he finally shown himself?" Bai Jing turned his gaze towards a specific direction. As a powerhouse at the Ninth Break, how sharp were his senses? Bai Jing had already detected Jiang Ye the very instant he emerged. "Qiu Cang." "Your disciple has appeared," Bai Jing transmitted through their mental connection. "Head over to see him and seize the chance to say goodbye." "Understood," Qiu Cang replied in a deep voice before turning to depart from the meeting hall. ... Star Garden, Number 10. *Whoosh!* A figure materialized at the entrance of Star Garden. Standing tall and looking dapper, it was Jiang Ye, having returned from the underground. "Senior Sister, are you home?" Jiang Ye repeatedly sent signals to the doorbell at the entrance. However, what he found perplexing was. Despite his repeated attempts at the entrance for several minutes, there was still no reply. "Could she be in seclusion cultivating?" Jiang Ye mused to himself. Then, with a sudden flicker, he transformed into a shadow and slipped into Star Garden. The entry restriction here was capable of repelling even a Seventh Break powerhouse. But at Jiang Ye's mastery level of Mysteries, he could completely bypass such defenses. Furthermore, considering his relationship with Chen Zilu, even if he were to breach the premises, Chen Zilu would likely not hold it against him. "*Whoosh*!" Jiang Ye's speed was astonishingly swift. In a short span, he found himself inside the main villa. But the very next second, he was taken aback. "Here?" "What is happening?" Jiang Ye slightly furrowed his brow. He observed that the entire villa was utterly deserted, with even a thin layer of dust coating the floor. It appeared as though no one had resided there for a considerable duration. "*Buzz*!" Jiang Ye's telekinetic abilities surged outwards, instantaneously encompassing the whole villa. His psychic senses swept through every nook and cranny.
