After bidding farewell to Chen Fang, Jiang Ye arrived at a silver-white floating structure and entered directly.
In the living room, he saw a strikingly beautiful young woman with delicate features sitting on the sofa, dressed in a snow-white gown.
"Senior Sister," Jiang Ye greeted as he walked into the room. "I'm back."
This was Chen Zilu's residence.
"Jiang Ye," Chen Zilu said, rising immediately from the sofa. She had been meditating with her eyes closed. "You're finally back," she said, gazing at him.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Senior Sister," Jiang Ye said apologetically.
"It wasn't long at all," Chen Zilu replied with a smile. "You must have gained quite a lot this time, right?"
"Indeed, quite a lot," Jiang Ye nodded with a smile. "I'm deeply grateful for Senior Sister's kindness."
Beyond the benefits he had obtained during the hundred cosmic refinements, the treasures gifted by the Chen Family Patriarch alone were priceless.
In fact, the treasures Chen Fang had just given him were also of extraordinary value.
But without Chen Zilu's guidance, he would never have acquired any of them.
"Look, Senior Sister."
"These were gifts from the Patriarch and Uncle Chen Fang," Jiang Ye said with a wave of his hand.
Clatter! Clang! Clang!
One by one, treasures landed on the table, radiating dazzling light and manifesting extraordinary phenomena.
In addition to the three treasures given by Chen Jiuxuan, there were three more from Chen Fang.
All three treasures from Chen Fang were Fifth-Tier Opportunities.
"Chen Fang?"
"Why would he give you these?" Chen Zilu frowned slightly.
She had a poor impression of her cousin.
Earlier, he had even tried to expel Jiang Ye, a fact that still infuriated her.
"Most likely, he wants to reconcile," Jiang Ye said with a smile. "Now that I'm the Chen Clan's chief, we'll inevitably meet again. It would be impolite to refuse."
"True," Chen Zilu nodded, then huffed, "If you hadn't demonstrated your potential, he wouldn't have bothered."
Jiang Ye shook his head and smiled, not bothering to argue.
He knew her stubborn nature well. She usually didn't care about most things, but when it came to him, she became fiercely protective.
"Senior Sister," Jiang Ye said, "take a look at these treasures. Is there anything you need?"
"No need," Chen Zilu said, shaking her head. "You need these more than I do. Don't save any for me."
"The Great Stellar War is less than half a year away."
"Even though you've already achieved your fifth breakthrough, your cultivation method hasn't yet broken through. You can't afford to slack off," Chen Zilu said earnestly.
"I know," Jiang Ye nodded.
Zhou Xingkong had long since reached the late-stage of his fifth breakthrough.
In another six months, his strength would be an unknown quantity.
"Still, there's no need to be overly anxious," Chen Zilu said with a smile. "I believe in you. You'll definitely win."
As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed Jiang Ye's hand, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him. "Tell me, how did you make it to the ninety-ninth level?"
Jiang Ye was taken aback.
Then, he smiled. "Senior sister wants to test my strength?"
With a thought, he tightened his grip on Chen Zilu's hand.
Simultaneously, he circulated his cultivation technique, channeling vast amounts of stellar energy into his palm, unleashing a force capable of shattering stars.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
In an instant, a series of cracking sounds echoed from between their palms.
Chen Zilu's delicate face paled slightly.
Though the girl's hand was slender and delicate, she was a late-stage fifth breakthrough expert. Jiang Ye's grip shouldn't have hurt her.
She simply hadn't expected Jiang Ye to suddenly exert such force.
But now, she had no time to speak.
Whoosh!
Chen Zilu channeled her stellar energy, countering Jiang Ye's force.
As a late-stage fifth breakthrough cultivator, her stellar energy's explosive power and level far surpassed Jiang Ye's.
After a brief struggle, Jiang Ye ultimately yielded.
"Senior sister wins," Jiang Ye said, smiling as he withdrew his hand.
"What were you doing?!" Chen Zilu glared at him. "Why did you suddenly use so much force?"
"Uh..." Jiang Ye was taken aback. "Didn't you want to see my strength?"
Chen Zilu stared at him speechlessly.
She had taken Jiang Ye's hand, only for him to misinterpret it as a challenge of strength?
At this thought, Chen Zilu rolled her eyes dramatically.
What a hopelessly dense guy!
This was the first time she had been so proactive, taking the initiative to hold Jiang Ye's hand, only to be utterly defeated!
Ahem.
Jiang Ye finally realized his mistake and chuckled awkwardly. "Senior Sister, I'm sorry. I misunderstood."
"What else can you do besides apologize?" Chen Zilu glared at him.
Hearing this, Jiang Ye immediately took the girl's hand and gently massaged it. "Senior Sister, did I hurt you just now?"
He carefully examined her slender hand.
Her palm was delicate and slender, her fingers pale and soft like mutton-fat jade, melting in his grasp like butter.
It was like a work of art.
Chen Zilu froze, watching him massage her hand so earnestly. Her mind involuntarily flashed back to the scene in the illusionary realm where Jiang Ye had massaged her feet.
For a moment, she was dazed.
Suddenly,
"Senior Sister,"
"Why is your face so red?" Jiang Ye asked, puzzled.
"..."
"It's not red!" Chen Zilu snatched her hand back and glared at him again.
She rubbed her delicate cheek and said casually, "You should cultivate at the Chen Clan for now. With the ancestor here, it's safer than the school."
Jiang Ye nodded.
These days, Shadow Calamities were erupting frequently across Blue Star.
Bai Jing, the principal of White Dragon University, and Qiu Cang, along with numerous other high-ranking professors, had all departed to assist in combating the Shadow Calamity across various regions.
The university's top-tier combat power was indeed diminished compared to its former strength.
In contrast, while the Chen Clan had also dispatched many powerful members to aid in the crisis, their demigod-level patriarch remained stationed at their ancestral home.
After all, Blue Star faced the constant threat of new tier 7 Shadow Calamities erupting at any moment.
Only a demigod could effectively stabilize such a situation.
"Alright," Jiang Ye said with a smile. "So, will my senior sister and I be staying together from now on?"
"Suit yourself," Chen Zilu huffed.
Without waiting for Jiang Ye's response, the young woman's figure flickered and vanished from the spot.
She had gone elsewhere to cultivate.
Jiang Ye wasn't bothered. As the Chen Clan's chief, he could go wherever he pleased with just a word.
Whoosh! Jiang Ye's figure blurred, and he too disappeared from the spot.
Moments later, Jiang Ye reappeared in a training hall.
"First, let's test the power of this demigod weapon." With a flash of light, a long spear materialized in Jiang Ye's hand.
The spear was silver-black, impossibly heavy, and etched with countless intricate patterns across its surface.
It was the demigod weapon gifted to him by the Chen Family Patriarch.
