High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 991: Chapter 458: Divine Map Transmission! Bizarre! (Double-Length)

"Even in her early period of cultivation, she was a lot slower than her peers."

"For those with the Tao Bone talent among the Nine Great Divine Races, the vast majority can reach the Second Break before adulthood." Chi Jiuxin shook his head and said, "But Wang Zilu barely reached the Second Break at nearly nineteen."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but be moved.

Slower than others in the early period of cultivation?

"When she was young, were there strange patterns appearing on her body?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.

"Yes, how did you know?" Chi Jiuxin looked surprised.

"She was very frightening as a child." Chi Jiuxin shook his head, "But now she has grown out of it..."

Jiang Ye’s gaze was peculiar.

If he guessed right, Wang Zilu might also be suffering from ’God-devouring Syndrome’ like Chen Zilu.

Indeed, the early period of cultivation was much more difficult for her than for others.

Chen Zilu endured countless unimaginable pains, only not to fall behind others.

But Wang Zilu obviously wasn’t as desperate as Chen Zilu, which is why she fell behind her peers during the early period of cultivation.

"What is the relationship between Wang Zilu and my senior sister?" Jiang Ye was increasingly curious about this question.

The two not only look extremely similar but also have identical symptoms.

Too bizarre.

"Forget it."

"Let’s continue our Enlightenment." Jiang Ye continued to immerse himself in the understanding of the stone wall.

...

Time passed.

The Second Layer of the Huanglong Divine Map only contains the Mysterious Laws of those below the Demigod level.

Therefore, Jiang Ye spent only a few hours comprehending it entirely.

"My foundational understanding of the Dao has become more solid." Jiang Ye reflected on himself: "Through the insights from the first two layers, I have filled in many gaps."

This is very important.

You should know, what’s the crucial step to Ascend to Divinity? It is to comprehend the entirety of the ’Dao Planet.’

The foundation for this step is to see the full scope of the ’Dao Planet.’

In the past, Jiang Ye’s cultivation speed was too fast, laying a hidden danger on his future path... The ’Dao Planet’ he comprehended was not complete!

On this ’Dao Planet,’ there are numerous gaps, which Jiang Ye had not understood before.

It is conceivable.

In the future, when he ascends to God, these gaps will become fatal flaws.

And today, Jiang Ye has filled in many deficiencies.

"However."

"There might still be imperfections." Jiang Ye understood this point. "The great Dao of Heaven and Earth is too complex."

"Achieving complete Perfection is extremely difficult."

"I need to spend dozens of days, or even longer, to possibly reach a state of Perfection." Jiang Ye thought to himself.

At the moment, he obviously didn’t have this time.

"I will make up for it next time."

"It’s time to go to the Third Layer." As Jiang Ye thought of this, he immediately transmitted a message to Chi Jiuxin and Wang Zilu.

"You finished your Enlightenment?" Chi Jiuxin and Wang Zilu both raised their heads, surprised in their eyes at the same time.

Jiang Ye’s speed was too fast.

Wang Zilu, for example, had only comprehended half of the Second Layer over a long period.

"Alright."

"You can go to the Third Layer." Chi Jiuxin transmitted, "I’ll head up shortly as well."

"Hmm." Jiang Ye nodded slightly and looked at Wang Zilu, transmitting, "Good luck."

"Hmm hmm." Wang Zilu nodded vigorously.

Whoosh! Jiang Ye’s figure flickered, transforming into a Flowing Light heading for the Third Layer.

...

Outside the Huanglong Divine Map Tower.

Venerable Bai quietly watched the projection screen, his whole body enveloped in strange fluctuations, unnoticed by anyone.

"Entered the Third Layer?"

"Faster than I expected." Venerable Bai smiled slightly, "How far can you go?"

It’s not just Venerable Bai.

On the square outside the tower, many gods of the Huanglong Civilization were present... They were all watching the projection.

"Prince Zijun and Qingmei are also Enlightening."

"Let’s see who can reach the Fifth Layer first."

"Reaching the Fifth Layer will receive the blessing of the Huanglong Will, comprehending the ’Dao Core,’ which is an amazing opportunity."

"To reach the Fifth Layer, one must possess the Heaven and Earth Insights of a Tier Three Demigod." Many gods communicated via transmission.

....

Third Layer of the Huanglong Divine Map.

Soon as he stepped in, Jiang Ye was immediately captivated by the scene before him.

Only to see standing row upon row stone walls, with patterns on them resembling orbits of stars drawing circles, countless star tracks combined to form larger star track patterns... At a glance, it was as if one was sinking into the endless cosmic starry sky.

Vast! Boundless!

And filled with mystery.

"Is this the Mysterious Law at the Demigod Level?" Jiang Ye was instantly deeply attracted: "Is it so magnificent?"

Jiang Ye himself was at the Demigod Realm, yet seeing these patterns gave him a sense of incomprehensible obscurity.

"Dao Planet."

A grand star appeared before him, a star entirely gathered by laws and Mysteries, filled with Heaven and Earth’s secret patterns.

These secret patterns were hundreds of times more complex than those seen in the previous two layers.

"Sure enough."

"In the past, my understanding of the Mysteries of the Demigod was too superficial." Jiang Ye’s eyes were bright.

He dared not hesitate, quickly immersing himself in comprehension.

Time flowed on.

Jiang Ye was uncannily absorbed, deeply immersed in Enlightenment, continuously ’refining’ his understanding of the Mysterious Law of his path.

This process was as if he was mending and sketching the surface mountains and rivers on this ’Dao Planet.’

But as Jiang Ye delved deeper.

Gradually, an absurd feeling emerged in Jiang Ye’s mind.

"Wrong."

"Why do I feel a sense of imperfection, incompleteness the more I try to comprehend it?" Jiang Ye thought to himself: "As if the path I’m comprehending is inherently incomplete."

With this thought, he suddenly awoke.

If the Great Dao being comprehended is incomplete, what meaning is there to continue comprehending?

As this idea grew in Jiang Ye’s mind.

These stone walls before him seemed to suddenly produce infinite changes.

The originally boundless and profound secret patterns of the Dao suddenly dimmed, radiating an immense desolate feeling.

"Huh?"

"What is happening?" Jiang Ye showed a puzzled expression.

In the past, only when he fully comprehended the content on the stone walls did they dim, yet he hadn’t done so now.

Moreover, where did this sense of desolation come from?

Given Jiang Ye’s current strength, his senses were sharpened to an extreme level, it was impossible to produce this feeling without cause.

At this moment.

"Jiuxin?" Jiang Ye suddenly noticed during his Enlightenment, Chi Jiuxin had arrived at the Third Layer.

This was also normal.

Chi Jiuxin was already at the Demigod Level, with no need to stay long on the Second Layer.

"Fellow Taoist?"

"Have you finished your comprehension?" Chi Jiuxin noticed his gaze.

"Not yet." Jiang Ye shook his head, then asked curiously: "Do you feel anything strange when comprehending the steles here?"

"What do you mean?" Chi Jiuxin was startled.

Jiang Ye immediately recounted his feelings.

"Desolate feeling?" Chi Jiuxin was stunned: "No, I haven’t had that feeling, nor have I heard of anyone else having a similar sensation."

"No one else?" Jiang Ye felt perplexed.

Could it be his illusion?

But when Jiang Ye looked again at those stone walls, he felt an even more intense desolate feeling, almost overwhelming.

"You really don’t feel it?" Jiang Ye asked in confusion.

"No." Chi Jiuxin looked equally puzzled.

At this moment.

"Buzz buzz~" Jiang Ye suddenly noticed the surrounding stone walls flickering, the secret patterns flowing, and a boundless desolate intention swept over.

"Did you see that?"

"The stone walls are flickering." Jiang Ye said in a deep tone.

"No." Chi Jiuxin looked around bewilderedly, "I don’t see any movement at all."

Jiang Ye fell silent, focused on the surrounding stone walls, plunged into deep thought.

He vaguely realized...

These stone walls were talking to him!

More precisely—this Huanglong Divine Map Tower was trying to convey some sort of message to him!

"What do you want to say?"

"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Ye softly murmured in his heart, looking at the numerous stone walls before him.

In the next moment, those stone walls flickered more intensely, conveying a strong desolate intention, almost affecting the entire space.
