High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 989 - 457: Reunion with Wang Zilu, Chen Zilu’s Whereabouts (Double-Length)

...

Time passed.

The ten thousand stone walls seemed numerous, but for Jiang Ye, comprehending them was a matter of moments.

Especially as he progressed further.

As Jiang Ye gradually filled in his foundational gaps, he could comprehend a stone wall in less than a hundredth of a second, understanding everything with just a sweep of his divine thought.

Half a day later.

Jiang Ye finally comprehended all the stone walls on the First Layer.

"Phew~"

"Truly a fundamental treasure of the Huanglong Civilization," Jiang Ye took a deep breath, "the effect of just the First Layer is like this."

At this moment, he exuded an air of profound mystery all over.

He had filled in many flaws in the mysterious laws of the Sixth Break and Seventh Break. This process reflected back onto his own realm, causing Jiang Ye to have countless realizations out of thin air.

"Fellow Daoist."

"I’ve kept you waiting," Jiang Ye turned to Chi Jiuxin, whom he had earlier suggested to proceed to the Second Layer.

But Chi Jiuxin insisted on staying.

In fact, Chi Jiuxin mainly wanted to see how much time Jiang Ye would need to comprehend the First Layer.

"Fellow Daoist... so fast."

"In less than half a day, you’ve comprehended the First Layer completely." Chi Jiuxin’s beautiful eyes were full of amazement. "Back when I cleared the First Layer, it took me several days."

"Fellow Daoist."

"Did you study in a secondary civilization?" Chi Jiuxin couldn’t help but ask.

She could hardly imagine such a genius emerging from the Blue Star Civilization.

"Study?" Jiang Ye shook his head. He did indeed come to the Huanglong Civilization for study, but of course, he couldn’t reveal that.

"Let’s continue."

"Second Layer." Jiang Ye walked toward the depths of the space.

At the end of the space, there was a staircase leading upward, clearly the path to the Second Layer.

...

The stone walls of the Second Layer were far fewer in number than those of the First Layer.

But there were still more than ten thousand.

"The stone walls here mostly engrave the mysterious laws from Eight Breaks to the Peak of Nine Breaks." Jiang Ye calmly perceived them, "And it seems to be screening me."

What he saw were all the mysterious laws he had already comprehended.

Given how numerous the laws of the world are...

It’s impossible for anyone to comprehend them all.

"Too easy."

"The mysterious laws from Eight Breaks to the Peak of Nine Breaks pose no difficulty for me." Jiang Ye’s divine thought swiftly scanned these stone walls, and his comprehension speed was extremely fast.

At the same time, he continued to repair his own foundational Dao, making his aura increasingly mysterious and unfathomable.

Suddenly.

"Huh?"

As Jiang Ye’s divine thought swept over a stone wall, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.

He saw a young girl sitting cross-legged, wearing a simple white dress, her white socks immaculate, and her countenance incomparably beautiful.

"Wang Zilu?" Jiang Ye’s heart stirred.

At the same time, the girl seemed to sense something too, lifting her flawless face to look over at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye calmly moved his gaze away, but inside, his heart skipped a beat.

To what degree had his realm reached? At the level of a demigod’s divine thought.

Logically speaking, Wang Zilu shouldn’t have detected anything, yet she did.

"Wait a minute."

"Could it be..." Jiang Ye suddenly remembered something, "If I recall correctly, Wang Zilu mentioned before that she felt a strange flutter when near me."

Realizing this, Jiang Ye’s pupils slightly contracted.

If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean his identity is exposed?

As expected.

Wang Zilu looked in Jiang Ye’s direction, the peach-blossom-like brightness in her eyes filled with a hint of doubt, as if she sensed something.

"This is not good," Jiang Ye thought to himself while quickly withdrawing his divine thought and concealing his presence.

But soon.

"It’s me," Jiang Ye actively sent a transmission.

He had thought it through, since she had already recognized him, he might as well admit it... After all, Wang Zilu herself was a direct descent of the Huanglong’s Nine Great Divine Races. If she asked a Venerable about it, his identity would be completely exposed.

"Moreover, the other party might have been suspicious for a long time," Jiang Ye thought.

After all, when he first met Wang Zilu, it was in the Star Realm Sea.

At that time, he was still under the identity of the Blue Star Civilization.

Later, when he became Marquis of the Blue Sky, he became a local of the Huanglong Civilization.

It was too contradictory.

Now that he’s run into her again, he might as well clarify things.

"Is it really you?" Wang Zilu transmitted back, "Marquis of the Blue Sky?"

"Do not tell others," Jiang Ye transmitted.

"Marquis of the Blue Sky, weren’t you in the Destruction Star Domain..." Wang Zilu’s voice carried a hint of excitement. She had always thought Jiang Ye had perished.

"It’s a long story," Jiang Ye transmitted, "I’ll explain it to you in detail later."

"Alright." Wang Zilu couldn’t hide her excitement, her face brimming with joy.

She had never thought she would see Jiang Ye again.

"Truly."

"There’s no one else who evokes this feeling in me..." Wang Zilu clutched at her elevated and prominent bosom.

That fluttering sensation!

No one else but Jiang Ye could elicit that feeling in her.

This sensation was very special to her, creating a kind of emotional longing to be close, akin to a sort of affection, yet not limited to that.

But soon.

"Marquis of the Blue Sky."

"Are you actually from the Blue Star or the Huanglong Civilization?" Wang Zilu couldn’t help but ask.

"Why?" Jiang Ye chuckled, "Worried I’m a spy?"

"What if?" Wang Zilu puffed out her cheeks, teasing.

"Have you ever seen a spy who announces themselves?" Jiang Ye shook his head.

"True enough..."

"Then why do you want me to keep it a secret?" Wang Zilu asked in confusion, "My brother and Sister Qingmei both think you perished. If they knew you were still alive, they’d be delighted."

"Marquis of the Blue Sky, might become a target of the Cangxu Civilization," Jiang Ye said.

This wasn’t the real reason, but it was reasonable enough.

"In short, don’t expose it," Jiang Ye said solemnly, "Please."

"Alright." Wang Zilu nodded, "I’ll keep your secret."

"Thank you," Jiang Ye smiled.

Seeing a girl so strikingly similar to Chen Zilu, he couldn’t help but feel a bit happier inside.

"By the way."

"There’s something I want to ask you," Jiang Ye said in a low voice, "You mentioned last time that Chen Zilu left Blue Star. How did you know this?"

"You didn’t come to the Huanglong Civilization just because of that, did you?" Wang Zilu looked at him.

"..."

"There is indeed part of that reason," Jiang Ye calmly replied, "She is someone very important to me."

"I see." Wang Zilu nodded slightly.

"He approached me before because of her, didn’t he?" Wang Zilu thought to herself.

Soon.

She raised her head and said, "If you’re looking for her, you might be disappointed."

"That person named Chen Zilu is definitely not in the Huanglong Civilization," Wang Zilu said confidently.

"How do you know?" Jiang Ye asked, puzzled.

"Well..." Wang Zilu hesitated, seemingly weighing something.

"If it’s difficult, then forget it," Jiang Ye said. What he most wanted was to know Chen Zilu’s whereabouts.

As for how Wang Zilu knew about these things, he wasn’t particularly curious.

"It’s not that."

"It’s kind of like my secret," Wang Zilu smiled, "but since you’ve shared yours with me, I can’t hide mine."

"It’s actually nothing much."

"It’s just that in my mind, certain images keep appearing inexplicably," Wang Zilu hesitated, "Some of those images are of your Blue Star."

"Blue Star? Chen Zilu?" Jiang Ye asked instinctively.

"Yes," Wang Zilu nodded, "From her perspective."

Jiang Ye felt truly amazed.

Because he suddenly recalled, Chen Zilu seemed to have a similar anomaly.

Before, when Chen Zilu was still around, she had told him that she often saw strange scenes that didn’t belong to her.

Now, Wang Zilu also had the same symptom?

However, at the moment, Jiang Ye didn’t have the time to dwell on these matters.

"Then did you see where Chen Zilu went?" Jiang Ye hurriedly pursued.
