Jiang Ye didn't attempt to use the crystal immediately.
After all, he was still under the overseer's watchful gaze.
Even if he wanted to experiment, he would have to wait until they left the Star Realm Sea.
"I'll cultivate first," he thought.
I wonder how much this Myriad Spirits Black Crystal will enhance the True God Manual? Jiang Ye secretly anticipated.
Whoosh... Whoosh...
Jiang Ye gripped the black crystal pillar tightly and began to stroke it back and forth, having already learned how to extract the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal.
After a few moments of stroking...
Pfft!
A black crystal detached from the pillar's tip.
Instantly, a wave of pure spiritual essence surged outward with overwhelming force.
"I'll eat it," Jiang Ye declared, swallowing the crystal whole.
Glug!
TL/N: Must have been the wind.
Unlike other opportunities and treasures that melted upon entry, the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal felt slightly prickly in his mouth.
But as soon as it reached his stomach, it unleashed an incomparably vast surge of energy.
The energy burned fiercely, making Jiang Ye feel as if his entire being was ablaze.
"Cultivate," Jiang Ye commanded mentally, immediately activating the White Dragon True God Manual.
Boom!
Jiang Ye's body generated an immense suction force, frantically absorbing the energy erupting from the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal.
Swiftly, the energy flowed into Jiang Ye's limbs and bones, merging with his meridians and twelve stellar meridians, triggering a series of miraculous effects.
This influence caused the Guanyuan Acupoint to tremble slightly, as if undergoing a strange metamorphosis.
Simultaneously, the Sea of Consciousness Space within Jiang Ye's mind vibrated gently, seemingly resonating with the Guanyuan Acupoint.
"The Myriad Spirits Black Crystal is truly extraordinary," Jiang Ye marveled inwardly. "To think it could affect both my Guanyuan Acupoint and Sea of Consciousness! No wonder it can accelerate the progress of my cultivation method."
The Guanyuan Acupoint serves as the origin point for transcendent power.
The Sea of Consciousness, on the other hand, is the most mysterious region within the human body.
Both are vital to human existence, and the body naturally employs numerous protective mechanisms to safeguard them.
External forces rarely penetrate these areas.
Consequently, most opportunities can only affect flesh and bone, unable to influence the Guanyuan Acupoint or Sea of Consciousness.
The Myriad Spirits Black Crystal completely shattered this ironclad rule.
"Good."
"At this rate," Jiang Ye exclaimed with delight, "the True God Manual will soon break through!"
Originally, Jiang Ye had been troubled by the fact that the realm of his cultivation method couldn't keep pace with his life level.
But now, his cultivation method was undergoing a metamorphosis at an astonishing rate.
Time flowed like water.
While Jiang Ye was immersed in cultivating the True God Manual, on Heavenly Fire Star, the heart of the Heavenly Fire Civilization, within a magnificent, golden-hued palace, a massive holographic projection hung suspended in mid-air, its image frozen.
The projection showed the final moments of the fierce battle between Jiang Ye, Gu Li, and Hei Tianjue.
"Jiang Ye completely suppressed Gu Li in a two-on-one fight?"
"How... how is his strength so overwhelming?" Yan Sheng exclaimed in disbelief. "Just two months ago, he was still struggling against opponents at the third breakthrough stage!"
"And now, after only two months, this guy can crush even a Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough opponent with an invincible dao bone?"
What kind of monster is he?!
Beside him, the fiery-tempered strongman Gu Yuan silently watched the projection.
As Gu Li's father, Gu Yuan was also Yan Sheng's rival.
He had come to witness Gu Li's overwhelming victory, eager to flaunt her triumph before his old adversary.
But the outcome?
It was utterly shocking.
After a long silence, Gu Yuan said gravely, "Gu Li didn't unleash her full power."
Yan Sheng glanced at him and chuckled. "You're not still planning to have your daughter target Jiang Ye, are you? Don't let her end up paying with her life."
"Hmph!" Gu Yuan snorted coldly. "Do you think I don't know my own daughter? She clearly held back in that battle."
He was about to continue when suddenly—
Buzz! Buzz! The communicator rang.
Gu Yuan's expression shifted. "Is that Gu Li?"
He quickly moved aside and answered the call.
Whoosh! A surge of light coalesced into a vibrant, fiery-haired figure—Gu Li herself.
"Father," Gu Li's voice carried a hint of trepidation.
"Gu Li."
"I've already seen your battle with Jiang Ye," Gu Yuan reassured her. "Don't blame yourself. That Jiang Ye is truly a monstrous talent."
"Moreover, you didn't even reveal your trump cards in this battle," Gu Yuan said.
"In my view, this was merely a strategic retreat, not a defeat at the hands of Jiang Ye," he added.
Gu Li stood motionless, silent.
Seeing her reaction, Gu Yuan sighed inwardly.
It seems this setback has hit her harder than I thought.
He continued, his voice grave, "Gu Li, you are the most outstanding dao bone genius of our Heavenly Fire Civilization."
"Lord Dongbo once said that your chances of ascending to divinity are as high as ten percent."
"Don't let this setback discourage you," Gu Yuan reassured her.
Ten percent was an exceptionally high probability.
The theoretical limit of Dao Bone Aptitude was the ninth breakthrough, but the actual chances of ascending to divinity were exceedingly low, nearly zero.
Invincible dao bones offered slightly better odds, but rarely exceeded ten percent.
Only Transcendent Aptitude could achieve probabilities of twenty percent or higher.
Of course, these probabilities were merely theoretical. In reality, numerous factors—such as treasures, opportunities, and sheer luck—were indispensable.
For many civilizations below the first-tier...
For countless years, many had possessed Transcendent Aptitude, yet none had ascended to divinity.
But Gu Li was different.
As the invincible dao bone of the Heavenly Fire Civilization, her treatment far surpassed that of geniuses from low-level civilizations.
Therefore, Gu Li's probability of ascending to divinity was significantly higher.
"A ten percent chance," Gu Yuan remarked with a sigh. "That's even higher than mine."
Gu Li nodded.
Her father, Gu Yuan, also possessed an invincible dao bone, but his probability of ascending to divinity was less than ten percent.
To this day, he had yet to cross that threshold.
"Father, I'm not discouraged," Gu Li said, lowering her gaze.
"It's just that this great war has stirred a different kind of feeling within me."
"A different kind of feeling?" Gu Yuan was taken aback. "What kind of feeling?"
He had assumed his daughter was disheartened by the war.
Now it seemed he had misunderstood.
"I don't know exactly," Gu Li replied.
"It's just... different." She suddenly lifted her head, her voice firm. "It's because of that Blue Star genius."
"I desire him."
"I desire to possess him!" Gu Li clenched her pale hands, her eyes burning with a feverish, almost deranged longing.
"What?" Gu Yuan was stunned.
He stared at his daughter, his mind reeling.
Did I hear that right?
Gu Li wants to... get Jiang Ye?
What kind of joke is this?!
Nearby, Yan Sheng's jaw dropped in disbelief, his face etched with shock.
Could it be true? Did Gu Li really throw herself into this, just as he'd predicted?
At least she didn't risk her life.
But judging by the situation... this might be even worse!
"Nonsense!" Gu Yuan snapped, his voice sharp. "Gu Li, stop talking such nonsense."
"You are our clan's strongest dao bone prodigy, destined to become our holy maiden."
"You must never speak such reckless words again!"
