High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 987 - 456: The Secret of Ascending to Divinity! Huanglong Divine Map (Double-Length Special) (2)
Previously on High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System...
This seems like it was prepared exactly for his current predicament!
"Venerable." Jiang Ye quickly said, "Where is the Huanglong Divine Map?"
"I can take you there."
"However, are you sure you want to go now?" Venerable Bai smiled, "My suggestion is to wait until your Heaven and Earth Insights break through to the Tier Four Demigod level, and try to ascend to divinity before going."
"You only have this one free chance."
"The next time you try to comprehend it, you’ll have to spend 50 million Huanglong Merit Points," said Venerable Bai.
"50 million Merit Points?" Jiang Ye held his breath.
He instantly realized the preciousness of the Huanglong Divine Map.
It takes 50 million Merit Points to comprehend just once, and most Huanglong powerhouses probably get very few chances in their lives.
However, every core member of Huanglong gets one chance to comprehend it for free, which is nice.
"Wait until I break through to the Tier Four Demigod level?"
"Too far away." Jiang Ye shook his head, resolute, "Venerable, I want to go now!"
For him, resolving the Blue Star crisis is the most important thing.
"Alright."
"In a few days, it will be time for the Huanglong Divine Map to open." Venerable Bai said, "I’ll take you there when it’s time."
"Okay." Jiang Ye nodded.
Not long after.
Jiang Ye turned back to the Bright Heart Hall.
But Venerable Bai stood still, quietly watching Jiang Ye’s departing figure.
"This young one has a nice resolve..."
He hadn’t revealed the whole truth earlier.
Regarding the Blue Star Civilization, Venerable Bai had already contacted the previous emperor, the former Lord of Huanglong.
But the previous emperor did not give a clear answer, only said one sentence.
"Causality in the world has its laws." Venerable Bai stroked his beard, pondering this phrase.
Is this a refusal or an agreement?
Or is it that even the previous emperor is powerless to intervene in this matter?
"No..."
"The previous emperor probably meant that the Blue Star Civilization is destined to face this calamity," Venerable Bai mused, knowing the previous emperor’s character, he would not speak without intention.
Every word the previous emperor said carried deep meaning, worthy of deep contemplation.
Like the word ’law’ in this phrase, in the eyes of Venerable Bai, it refers to ’Cosmic Law.’
What is Cosmic Law?
It is the Essence of the Universe, a level that only beings of the Fourth Realm of Divinity and above can touch, like why light is light, why dark is dark? Why are celestial bodies spherical and not square? This is where the essence of the universe lies, containing profound truths.
Similarly.
What the previous emperor implied suggests the calamity of the Blue Star Civilization is an inevitable disaster under the operation of the universe.
This is a ’law’ that has existed since the birth of Blue Star!
"How could the universe target Blue Star?"
"Or is it that Blue Star has been influenced by some unimaginable existence?" Venerable Bai’s eyes were filled with doubt, "Cosmic Law, too, is not impossible to alter."
"But that probably involves extremely high levels."
At the very least, far beyond what a Secondary Civilization can achieve.
Yet for such a level of existence to target a tiny Blue Star? That makes even less sense.
"Moreover, it’s just a 0.7-level civilization; such a calamity shouldn’t occur there," Venerable Bai thought inwardly.
Calamity is something experienced after the Fourth Realm of Divinity.
Even at the True God level one might encounter it.
A small 0.7-level civilization, what ability or qualification do they have to encounter this?
Could it be that a True God is hiding within the Blue Star Civilization?
"What a joke..." Venerable Bai shook his head slightly.
The stature of a True God, if it descended upon a civilization below level one, would instantly explode the whole planet.
"Blue Star must have an incredible secret," Venerable Bai’s gaze was profound.
This is also why Venerable Chi went to Blue Star in person.
Besides helping the Blue Star Civilization, it was to explore the secret behind Blue Star.
"What a pity."
"In this calamity." Venerable Bai sighed inwardly, "The Blue Star Civilization must traverse it on their own."
...
A few days later in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ye followed Venerable Bai to the foot of an incomparably towering and gigantic tower; its height seemed endless viewed from afar.
The entire tower was shrouded by endless clouds and mist.
"This is the Huanglong Divine Map Tower of the Huanglong Civilization."
Venerable Bai was enveloped in a strange fluctuation, invisible to all but Jiang Ye: "The Huanglong Divine Map Tower is divided into eighteen layers."
"The first to ninth layers are below the divine level."
"Beyond the ninth layer, it involves the divine level." Venerable Bai introduced.
Jiang Ye’s expression changed: "Does that mean you can comprehend the Mysterious Law of the divine level?"
If he could comprehend the Mysterious Law of the divine level, it would certainly bring him great improvement.
"It’s not that easy."
"Only by fully comprehending the mysteries of the first layer can you proceed to the next one," Venerable Bai shook his head and smiled, "Below True God, reaching the 9th layer is extremely difficult."
As he spoke.
Venerable Bai had already led Jiang Ye to the base of the tower, which was an expansive platform spanning thousands of miles.
At this time, many people were already gathered on the platform.
When they saw Jiang Ye, many of them showed puzzled expressions.
"Who is this?"
"Seems to be from a 0.9 level civilization, this aura is very unfamiliar."
"Isn’t the Huanglong Divine Map accessible only to core members?" Many Huanglong powerhouses communicated telepathically.
However, no one questioned it.
After all, anyone able to enter must have obtained high-level permission... and most of them could sense Jiang Ye’s identity information through their identity bracelets.
"Turns out he’s a newcomer who just joined the Huanglong Civilization."
"Ye Jiang? Never heard of him," These powerhouses transmitted telepathically.
Jiang Ye was equally puzzled upon seeing these Huanglong powerhouses... because this group of people gathered at the tower entrance but did not enter.
"Most of them are spectators."
"Today, a genius is challenging the tower," Venerable Bai pointed forward.
Jiang Ye looked over and saw an enormous projection at the location Venerable Bai pointed to.
[Huanglong Divine Map Tower · Records below the 9th layer (Last three years)]
[First place: Bai Cantian (8th layer) (comprehending)]
[Second place: Prince Royal (7th layer) (comprehending)]
[Third place: Red Light (7th layer)]
[Fourth place: Qinggu (7th layer)]
...
[Six hundred and sixth place: Prince Zijun (Fourth Layer) (comprehending)]
[Six hundred and fortieth place: Qing Mei (Fourth Layer) (comprehending)]
...
[Nine hundred and ninetieth place: Chi Jiuxin (Second Layer)]
...
[One thousand and third place: Wang Zilu (Second Layer) (comprehending)]
...
"Records within the last three years."
"Not a single person reached the 9th layer?" Jiang Ye was dumbfounded.
"Don’t be surprised."
"To comprehend the 9th layer is almost equivalent to having the qualification to ascend to divinity," Venerable Bai said with a smile.
Jiang Ye was enlightened.
The implication being that in the past three years, the Huanglong Civilization had not seen any new gods emerge?
"There will be soon."
"Those geniuses at the top," Venerable Bai said, "have a considerable chance to ascend to divinity."
Jiang Ye nodded slightly; now that the Civilization Struggle was over, after receiving the cosmic gifts, the Huanglong Civilization would surely see new gods arise.
Just at that moment.
"Boom!"
The magnificent giant tower suddenly erupted with intense tremors.
The entire tower, moreover, burst forth with exceptionally bright light, so dazzling it radiated towards the entire Huanglong Main Star.
Meanwhile, the giant projection screen underwent changes:
[Second place: Prince Royal (7th layer) → (8th layer)]
...
"Prince Royal reached the 8th layer!"
"As expected of the strongest genius of this generation in the royal family, truly impressive."
"It’s said the 8th layer requires Fourth Tier Demigod Peak level insights to pass."
"It’s terrifying."
"Prince Royal is still comprehending? Is he attempting to reach the 9th layer?" Many Huanglong powerhouses were in an uproar.
Jiang Ye also looked at the ranking, pondering.
"Prince Royal? Royal family?"
"Is he from the same family as Prince Zijun and Wang Zilu?" Jiang Ye speculated in his mind.
He remembered, Prince Zijun was a talent in his own right.
This Prince Royal was also a talent, which means this family in the same generation had two talents emerge?
Truly terrifying!
At that moment.
"Ye Jiang, my fellow Daoist?"
"You’re here too." A red-clad figure flew over, her appearance beautiful like a woman in a painting, attracting countless gazes as she appeared.
"Chi, my fellow Daoist." Jiang Ye nodded slightly; the newcomer was Chi Jiuxin.
"Are you planning to enter the Huanglong Divine Map as well?" Chi Jiuxin said with a smile, "With your strength, you must be more advanced than me."
