Seeing Chen Zilu's compliance, a faint smile crept onto Jiang Ye's lips.
Sharing could bring its own kind of satisfaction.
Especially when the recipient was a stunning beauty like Chen Zilu.
My senior sister's second growth spurt has made her even more captivating than before, Jiang Ye thought, gazing at her flawless, pure face. A warmth stirred within him.
He quickly composed himself and moved to sit down nearby.
"Star Beast King Core," Jiang Ye said, picking up a golden pill.
The pill radiated a formidable aura, exuding an intensely domineering energy. It originated from the Star Beast King Core within a peak seventh breakthrough star beast king.
Star beast kings possessed a primordial bloodline far denser than that of ordinary star beasts.
Gulp. Jiang Ye swallowed the pill.
The Star Beast King Core dissolved instantly, transforming into a surging torrent of life energy that coursed through his limbs and bones.
Countless cells were nourished, undergoing profound metamorphosis.
Buzz. Jiang Ye's life level slowly increased.
"True Divine Manual," Jiang Ye immediately began circulating the True Divine Manual, channeling vast amounts of stellar energy into his five viscera to commence the fifth breakthrough stage of cultivation.
Moments later.
"What?"
"How is this possible?!" Jiang Ye suddenly wore a look of astonishment.
He realized that, with the aid of the Star Beast King Core, the cultivation efficiency of the True Divine Manual had increased by at least tenfold!
"How could it be so exaggerated?" Even Jiang Ye found it unbelievable.
But soon, he understood.
"Is it because I've fused with over a thousand strands of civilization fire?" Jiang Ye mused inwardly. "My seventh breakthrough foundation is solid. Standing at the height of the seventh breakthrough, cultivating the True Divine Manual would indeed be easier."
But a tenfold increase in efficiency? That was still too extreme.
"Hmm, perhaps the Martial Saint Bond is also contributing," Jiang Ye glanced at his senior sister nearby.
Close Friend (Martial Saint): You have gained the Martial Saint Bond. When she is with you, your cultivation speed, combat power, luck, and all other attributes receive a significant boost. Simultaneously, she will be affected by the bond to some extent. The higher the Martial Saint's favorability towards you, the stronger the boost you receive.
Chen Zilu's favorability?
It had definitely increased significantly since before.
"That explains it."
"With the combined effects of the civilization fire, Star Beast King Core, and Martial Saint Bond," Jiang Ye mused, "a tenfold increase in efficiency isn't surprising."
"If I can maintain this pace..."
"I could probably reach the sixth breakthrough of the True Divine Manual in just a month," Jiang Ye marveled.
According to his previous calculations, achieving the sixth breakthrough would have taken him at least half a year.
But now? A month would suffice.
"My speed of comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth and mastering spear techniques should also be enhanced," Jiang Ye thought.
The Martial Saint Bond provided comprehensive improvements to all his attributes.
Buzz~
Jiang Ye closed his eyes, focusing a portion of his consciousness entirely on operating the True Divine Manual.
Another part of his consciousness sensed and continuously pondered the mysteries of fire and earth.
Meanwhile, a third part of his consciousness tirelessly refined the Luoshen Spear Technique in his mind.
In the past, Jiang Ye would never have been able to multitask so efficiently.
But now, having reached the seventh breakthrough, even handling three tasks simultaneously was effortless. This greatly accelerated his cultivation speed.
Whether it was his cultivation method, spear technique, or comprehension of the mysteries of heaven and earth, all were advancing rapidly.
While Jiang Ye and Chen Zilu immersed themselves in cultivation,
within the inner perimeter of the civilization ruins, conflict continued unabated.
Of the remaining hundreds of participants, excluding the top ten, their strength was roughly equal.
After countless battles, none could gain a decisive advantage over the others.
For a time, the entire battlefield fell into another stalemate. Most participants chose to enter secluded cultivation once more, waiting for a breakthrough in their strength before emerging to fight again.
Time flew by like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
The vast majority of participants had emerged from seclusion and rejoined the battle. Within the inner perimeter of the civilization ruins, the remaining numbers dwindled rapidly.
Eight hundred.
Five hundred.
Three hundred.
Every second ticked by.
Suddenly.
"The inner perimeter selection of the civilization ruins has concluded. Congratulations to the top one hundred participants! You may now enter the core region!" An ancient voice echoed in the minds of the remaining hundred participants. "The core selection is about to begin. Prepare yourselves."
Boom!
A massive beam of light shot skyward from the distant core region.
Immediately afterward, a surging wave of energy swept outward with a whoosh. This wave pulsed with vital life force, radiating an irresistibly alluring aura.
This signaled that the final phase of the Great Stellar War had finally begun!
"First place on the leaderboard, Jiang Ye. Congratulations." The ancient voice echoed in Jiang Ye's mind alone. "The core selection is complete. You will receive an additional gift. If you achieve ultimate victory, you will be rewarded handsomely as the All-Stars Champion."
"Please proceed to the teleportation area immediately."
On the solitary peak, Jiang Ye and Chen Zilu simultaneously opened their eyes.
"Core selection?" A glint flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes. "Just as I suspected, it's similar to the Star Realm Sea."
His conviction deepened: this civilization ruins was indeed a massive trial field, designed to filter out the most exceptional geniuses.
"I'll receive an additional gift?" Jiang Ye recalled the ancient voice. "And the ultimate champion gets a substantial reward?"
The current leaderboard only ranked participants based on their Dao Bone Aptitude; the transcendent beings hadn't yet entered the fray.
Even the first-place holder couldn't truly be considered the All-Stars Champion.
"Champion," Jiang Ye's heart burned with fervor.
All-Stars Champion!
This had always been his ultimate goal.
Though this ambition now seemed trivial, the prospect of achieving it still stirred a flicker of excitement within him.
"Zhou Xingkong, Li Zihuang, Chu Jingye... these transcendent aptitudes," Jiang Ye mused inwardly. "I wonder what their true strength is?"
He had already swept through countless dao bone cultivators. But transcendent beings? He had yet to cross blades with one.
"Could they withstand a single strike from my spear?" Jiang Ye felt a surge of heroic ambition.
"Jiang Ye," Chen Zilu said with a smile, watching him from the side. "You seem quite confident."
"Confident?" Jiang Ye chuckled.
He was indeed confident.
In just half a month of cultivation, Jiang Ye's strength had undergone a complete metamorphosis.
"True Divine Manual," Jiang Ye's gaze swept across his status panel.
White Dragon True Divine Manual (Upper Volume): Entry (55%)
In just half a month, his progress in the True Divine Manual had surged from 10% to 55%—a staggering 45% increase!
"According to realm correspondence," Jiang Ye calculated inwardly, "the entry stage of the True Divine Manual corresponds to the following: 30% for late-stage fifth breakthrough, 50% for peak fifth breakthrough, and 60% for sixth breakthrough."
"Now, I'm only 5% away from reaching the sixth breakthrough," Jiang Ye murmured, a smile playing on his lips.
This meant that in a mere half-month, Jiang Ye had leapt from mid-stage fifth breakthrough to the quasi-sixth breakthrough realm.
This cultivation speed...
It's simply terrifying
