Soon after.
Jiang Ye arrived at the airfield of White Dragon University, where Principal Baijing, Qiu Cang, and other senior school leaders were gathered.
"Teacher? Principal?"
"You are all going?" Jiang Ye expressed his immense surprise at the sight of so many teachers from the school.
He had previously received information that some important figures from the school would be heading to West Mountain Province.
But now... had the entire top brass of the school been mobilized?
"The Shadow Disaster in West Mountain Province is vast."
"It is even more severe than the previous incident in West Sea Province," Bai Jing stated gravely. "The Shadow Race is launching a full-scale assault, and every city in West Mountain Province is at risk of falling. We must deploy all of our high-tier forces."
Qiu Cang and a contingent of high-ranking professors wore somber expressions.
Witnessing this, Jiang Ye also felt a sense of unease.
In the past, this situation might have left him somewhat bewildered.
But now? Having acquired the "Civilization Archive," Jiang Ye's perspective had expanded exponentially... he understood with stark clarity that the fall of each city would signify the Shadow Race consuming the fortunes of the Blue Star civilization.
This conflict was not merely about defending their homeland.
It was a fight for the prosperity of civilization itself, and indeed, for the future of the entire Blue Star civilization!
Suddenly.
"Is Teacher Zhu still in West Mountain Province?" Jiang Ye inquired, looking at Qiu Cang.
"Yes," Qiu Cang confirmed with a nod.
Jiang Ye's heart sank slightly.
Zhu Honglie had been his very first teacher upon entering university and held considerable significance for Jiang Ye.
"Do not worry," Qiu Cang reassured him. "Old Zhu has been stationed in West Mountain Province for over half a year without any issues, so it should be safe this time as well."
"Mm," Jiang Ye responded with a slight nod.
He had heard that Zhu Honglie had successfully achieved the Eighth Break in West Mountain Province, establishing himself as a formidable force against the Shadow Disaster.
...
Moments later, over ninety percent of the senior school officials had converged at the airfield.
"Everyone, we proceed as originally planned."
"Each pair will be assigned a city." Bai Jing announced in a deep voice. "Qiu Cang, you will accompany Jiang Ye."
"Understood," Qiu Cang replied with a slight nod.
"Principal, Jiang Ye is still a student. Should not another teacher be assigned to him?" a professor clad in purple robes ventured to suggest.
Other professors murmured their agreement.
In their view, Jiang Ye remained a junior.
"You are underestimating Jiang Ye."
"His capabilities are on par with any of you Eighth Break powerhouses," Bai Jing stated with a smile. "In fact, he surpasses most of you."
He had been aware of Jiang Ye's strength for quite some time.
Otherwise, he would not have sanctioned Jiang Ye's entry into the Shadow Race's stronghold.
"What?"
"Eighth Break?"
"Stronger than us? That is surely impossible?"
"Principal, you must be jesting?" The professors shook their heads in disbelief, each having dedicated over a century to their cultivation.
Holding a senior professorship at White Dragon University was a testament to their status as top-tier cultivators at the Eighth Break level.
At the very least, they were among the elite on Blue Star.
Yet, the principal now claimed they were no match for Jiang Ye?
"Jiang Ye, would you be willing to demonstrate your abilities for the teachers?" Bai Jing asked with a smile.
"Principal..." Jiang Ye offered a wry smile.
However, he did not decline at this juncture, understanding Bai Jing's intention was to bolster the morale of the gathered group.
"Whoosh~!"
With a mere thought, a Five-Colored Dao Lotus materialized behind Jiang Ye, radiating a profound, oceanic energy.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.
The Five Great Mysteries!
Instantly, a formidable aura at the Peak of Eighth Break permeated the area.
"Peak of Eighth Break?"
"Five distinct Eighth Break peak-level mysteries?"
"What? What is this? Jiang Ye?"
"This is simply too astonishing to believe." Numerous teachers and professors were left utterly speechless.
Some had previously encountered rumors regarding Jiang Ye's combat prowess reaching the Peak of Eighth Break.
But they had never conceived that all five of Jiang Ye's fundamental mysteries had ascended to the Peak of Eighth Break level!
Most among them had only managed to master a single mystery.
At most, they had attained mastery over two.
Even then, it had required over a hundred years of dedicated cultivation to barely reach the Eighth Break stage.
But Jiang Ye? He was merely a third-year student.
"Excellent."
"A truly peerless genius."
"Old Qiu, you have nurtured an exceptional student!"
"A blessing for White Dragon, a blessing for Blue Star!" The teachers were overjoyed, their eyes wide with amazement and their voices trembling.
They found it difficult to comprehend the sheer speed of Jiang Ye's cultivation.
"You are too kind, teachers," Jiang Ye replied with modesty.
Internally, however, he felt a surge of emotion.
It was merely the Peak of Eighth Break, after all.
What if these instructors realized he had achieved the Nine Breaks power level? Their astonishment would surely skyrocket even further, wouldn't it?
"The Blue Star, its boundaries are ultimately far too confined," Jiang Ye mused silently, a sigh escaping him.
Within the Huanglong Civilization, encountering a powerhouse at the Seventh Break who wielded Eighth Break power was hardly an uncommon occurrence.
"Let us depart, everyone," Bai Jing announced, his voice cutting through the air.
"Daylight is waning, and the Shadow Disaster within West Mountain Province might have already begun its devastating spread."
Whoosh!
The moment Bai Jing finished speaking, an unseen force enveloped everyone present, Jiang Ye included.
Boom!
In a blink of an eye, their surroundings shifted dramatically, and they were no longer within the confines of White Dragon University.
"Such incredible speed!"
"The Principal..." Jiang Ye marveled, realizing that even his own optimal speed paled in comparison.
In mere moments, their velocity had surged past a thousand miles per second.
"Principal Bai Jing, he truly is a powerhouse at the Peak of Nine Breaks," Jiang Ye acknowledged in his thoughts.
His own offensive capabilities could now contend with a Nine Breaks cultivator, even one in the Mid-period.
However, when it came to sheer velocity, he simply could not match Principal Bai.
Naturally, if he were to employ techniques like 'Shrinking Ground into Inches,' Principal Bai Jing's speed advantage would diminish significantly, bringing them closer in pace.
...
Only a few fleeting seconds elapsed.
"We have arrived; this is West Mountain Province," Bai Jing declared solemnly, gradually reducing their incredible speed.
Simultaneously, Jiang Ye and the multitude of teachers also came to a standstill.
"This... is this West Mountain Province?" Qiu Cang, Elder Zi, and numerous other teachers looked down, their faces etched with grim expressions.
