Chapter 715: Chapter 372: Fame Spreads Far and Wide
“How do you plan to handle this?”
“Do you intend to reveal your true identity?” Zhao Zixuan asked.
She still thought Jiang Ye was from a lower tribe.
“I don’t mind,” Jiang Ye laughed. “Would revealing my identity affect you?”
Zhao Zixuan and Zhao Zishuang exchanged a glance.
“It doesn’t matter to us.”
“But if you reveal your identity, many forces might secretly try to win you over,” Zhao Zishuang said coldly. “They would promise you immense benefits, inviting you to join their side.”
“Win me over?” Jiang Ye was puzzled.
“In Black Obsidian City, although there are many God Descendants, even among them, there are numerous factions,” Zhao Zishuang said. “There are also many noble families; these forces are like small groups by themselves.”
“Even though they are all part of Black Obsidian City.”
“But usually, there’s fierce competition among them,” Zhao Zishuang said. “Even the gods silently approve of this.”
Jiang Ye couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Yet on second thought, it seemed normal.
Without competition, there’s no drive for progress… If the God Descendants lived in extreme comfort, it would be challenging to produce powerhouses.
Powerhouses are forged in blood and fire.
“Do you belong to any force?” Jiang Ye curiously looked at the two sisters.
“That’s right.”
“We both belong to the ’Celestial Gang Palace’,” Zhao Zixuan nodded.
“Celestial Gang Palace?” Jiang Ye was puzzled.
“My grandfather is Zhao Tiangang,” Zhao Zixuan said. “Celestial Gang Palace is the force he established in the city.”
“In the entire Black Obsidian City, Celestial Gang Palace ranks in the top ten,” Zhao Zixuan said with a small face full of pride.
“Impressive.” Jiang Ye sincerely praised.
In Black Obsidian City, there are dozens of Third Tier demigods.
That Celestial Gang Palace can rank in the top ten within the city shows its power.
“In any case.”
“If you plan to reveal your identity, you can let me know anytime,” Zhao Zishuang said coldly. “I’ll give you a list of all the major forces in the city, so you’ll have a detailed understanding.”
“If you want to join a certain force, we can introduce you.”
“However, once you join, the enemies of that force might secretly target you,” Zhao Zishuang said. “After all, you are not a God Descendant nor a noble child. With such dazzling talent, you’re bound to attract many eyes.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Sister Zishuang,” Jiang Ye nodded.
He wasn’t originally planning on joining any city forces anyway.
Hearing Zhao Zishuang’s words made him even more resolute in abandoning that notion.
Joining a city force could offer protection, but it would also bring many restrictions, even attracting a lot of trouble.
“Wang Ye.”
“Whether you join another force or not,” Zhao Zixuan suddenly said, “you will always be our honored guest at the Celestial Gang Palace, and you can come to us anytime.”
Zhao Zishuang glanced at her, but this time did not object.
“Thank you both for your kindness,” Jiang Ye slightly nodded.
He didn’t expect Zhao Zixuan to value him so highly.
“By the way.”
“If the City Lord takes you as a disciple, then the many power struggles in the city won’t concern you,” Zhao Zixuan added.
By City Lord, she naturally referred to the Black Obsidian Deity.
“Becoming a disciple of the City Lord has always required passing the tenth level of the Black Tower,” Zhao Zishuang smiled slightly. “Wang Ye, you may have a good chance.”
“You believe in me that much?” Jiang Ye couldn’t help but smile.
By now, he understood the difficulty of the Black Tower.
“Haven’t you already comprehended two Basic Mysteries?” Zhao Zishuang looked at him, her cold eyes with a hint of sparkle.
“Comprehending two is enough to pass the tenth level of the Black Tower?” Jiang Ye couldn’t help his curiosity.
“Simply comprehending two is, of course, not enough.”
“But your Realm is low,” Zhao Zishuang said. “The challenge of the Black Tower at the Sixth Break compared to the Seventh Break is vastly different.”
Jiang Ye instantly understood.
The difficulty of the Black Tower depends on one’s Realm.
“Of course.”
“Even at the Realm of a Sixth Break, passing the tenth level is exceedingly difficult,” Zhao Zishuang said. “You need to be well prepared, enhancing your strength to the peak level.”
“Thank you for the reminder,” Jiang Ye nodded.
Passing the tenth level and being accepted as a disciple by a Deity?
Becoming a disciple of a Deity surely offers many benefits.
While Jiang Ye’s intention was to make his name known, if he could take some precious treasures from this world, it would be even better.
At this thought, Jiang Ye suddenly froze.
“I wonder if the treasures from this world can be taken back to Blue Star?” Jiang Ye was unsure in his heart.
After all, this was a test from the system.
According to the rules of previous assessments, physical objects couldn’t be taken back to reality.
But this time? The situation seemed notably different from before.
While Jiang Ye was contemplating.
“Wang Ye.”
“I heard from Zixuan that you need an Eighth-Tier Enlightenment artifact,” Zhao Zishuang suddenly said. “I happen to have one with me; take a look and see if you need it.”
Whoosh!
With a flip of her palm, a purple crystal appeared in her white palm, its surface covered with mysterious runes, radiating purple light.
The moment it appeared, an indescribable enticing aura emanated.
“This?”
“An eighth-tier Enlightenment artifact?” Jiang Ye’s expression shifted with surprise.
The fluctuation emanating from that purple crystal stirred desires deep within one’s essence, making it irresistible; even Jiang Ye almost succumbed.
Just for a moment.
Jiang Ye realized that this was an extraordinary rare treasure.
In terms of value, it far surpassed the peak seventh-tier Enlightenment artifact he had obtained before.
“This is it!”
“Swallow it.” An intense desire surged in Jiang Ye’s heart, urging him to consume this crystal.
Because this was exactly what he needed!
As long as he obtained this object, Jiang Ye’s Mysteries of Heaven and Earth could certainly break through to the Quasi-Eighth Break, or even higher.
This originated from the most primal of desires, causing an overwhelming impulse in Jiang Ye.
Yet, Jiang Ye outwardly remained calm and collected.
“What do you need?” Jiang Ye stared at Zhao Zixuan.
“You need not give anything in return.” Zhao Zixuan shook her head and said, “Consider this eighth-tier Purple Spirit Crystal a gift.”
“No way.”
“This is too precious.” Jiang Ye decisively refused.
He knew the other party intended to express goodwill.
However, the deeper the involvement, the harder it is to extricate oneself later.
“Jiang Ye.” Zhao Zixuan said, “I invited you here today, if not for this, you wouldn’t have been targeted by Zhao Chen. Please accept this treasure.”
“No need to say more.”
Jiang Ye shook his head and with a turn of his palm, a blood-red crystal appeared.
“Let this Blood Jade Divine Crystal be our trade.” Jiang Ye said.
Zhao Zixuan and Zhao Zixuan exchanged glances, both with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
“I appreciate your kindness, but I can’t take this advantage for nothing.” Jiang Ye smiled and said, “That’s not my nature.”
“Fine.”
“If you ever run into any difficulties, don’t hesitate to tell me.” Zhao Zixuan nodded and said, “I will do my best to help you resolve them.”
As they spoke, the two exchanged treasures.
In the instant of obtaining the Purple Spirit Crystal, the desire in Jiang Ye’s heart intensified.
“Ladies, until we meet again.”
“I will take my leave first.” Jiang Ye hurriedly bid farewell and then swiftly left the banquet hall.
At the original place.
“That guy.”
“He seems afraid we might devour him.” Zhao Zixuan watched Jiang Ye’s figure leaving, her beautiful eyes full of helplessness.
“Perhaps that’s just his character.”
“It’s quite nice.” Zhao Zixuan smiled, her eyes shining with a strange light.
Jiang Ye’s actions actually increased her fondness for him.
“Eh?”
“Sister, have you taken a liking to Jiang Ye?” Zhao Zixuan asked curiously, as it was the first time she had seen her sister with such an expression.
“You silly girl, don’t talk nonsense.” Zhao Zixuan glared, raising her jade hand to cuff Zhao Zixuan’s head.
…
The banquet ended.
Yet, the battle between Jiang Ye and Jiang Lai at this banquet spread rapidly.
Of course, Jiang Lai was merely a guard of Zhao Zhuo, unable to cause much of a stir.
The key point was Jiang Ye.
The talent Jiang Ye demonstrated was dazzling enough.
“Early Period of Sixth Break, comprehending Quasi-Eighth Break level Mysteries of Heaven and Earth?”
“Knocked out a Peak of Sixth Break Extraordinary with one palm strike?”
“Who is this Jiang Ye? How have I never heard of him?”
“Heard he’s from outside the city, a distinguished guest of the Zhao Zixuan sisters.”
“Distinguished guest? Perhaps from other flourishing ancient cities?”
“So powerful, crossing almost an entire Great Realm, knocking out an Extraordinary with a single strike?”
“He’s definitely qualified to enter the top ten of the Extraordinary Talent Ranking.”
In Black Obsidian City, countless people were shocked by this news.
As one of the twelve flourishing ancient cities, Black Obsidian City never lacked talent.
If those on the top ten of the Extraordinary Talent Ranking performed such deeds, no one would be surprised.
But Jiang Ye? No one had heard of this name before.
Such a sudden emergence instantly caught the attention of countless powerhouses in the city.
The key was that the Black Tower was about to open, and a stranger of this talent appearing was most unusual.
For a time, many began inquiring into Jiang Ye’s identity and background.
Not long after.
Another piece of news spread.
“The Black Obsidian City Extraordinary Talent Ranking has been updated!”
“Jiang Ye, ranked seventh on the Extraordinary Talent Ranking, hails from a lower tribe on the Barbaric Wilderness.”
