"Hmm?"
The moment Jiang Ye grasped the long spear, his expression shifted in surprise. "This spear is incredibly heavy."
It's important to note that after reaching the fifth breakthrough in life level, all of one's attributes undergo a significant enhancement.
For Jiang Ye, even objects weighing tens of thousands of kilograms could be lifted with ease.
Yet this spear? It felt remarkably heavy.
"No wonder it's a demigod weapon," Jiang Ye murmured, already recognizing the spear's extraordinary nature.
Whoosh! As he gripped the spear, a familiar yet foreign sensation washed over him.
This was the drawback of switching weapons.
True masters choose weapons that perfectly suit them, allowing them to unleash their full potential.
But when changing weapons, a sense of unfamiliarity arises, limiting their combat prowess.
The only solution is time—time to adapt and refine the weapon.
This process is commonly known as "weapon tempering."
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Jiang Ye swung the spear, channeling stellar energy and psychic power to activate its spear technique. Streams of stellar energy flowed from his palm into the weapon's core.
Soon, he felt a sluggish resistance.
This resistance was the source of the unfamiliar sensation.
Jiang Ye remained patient, continuously channeling stellar energy to fuse with the weapon.
"Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a single battle."
"Weapon tempering is a long and arduous process," Jiang Ye murmured, his long spear flashing through the air in practiced motions.
Just minutes later—
Whoosh!
The silver-black long spear in Jiang Ye's hand suddenly erupted with blinding light, followed by an overwhelming pressure that radiated outward.
But almost immediately, the pressure receded, becoming docile and contained.
"Weapon tempering succeeded?" Jiang Ye stared in disbelief.
He had expected the process to take days, even months.
Yet it had been completed in mere minutes?
Jiang Ye could feel it.
That lingering sense of unfamiliarity had completely vanished.
"Surprised?" Bai Gui's voice echoed in his mind. "This is the power of the True Divine Manual."
"True Divine Manual?" Jiang Ye blinked.
"Exactly," Bai Gui replied. "Under the True Divine Manual's operation, your stellar energy has undergone a qualitative transformation, making weapon tempering far easier."
"After all, the True Divine Manual is a cultivation method that leads to true divinity."
"Stellar energy refined by the True Divine Manual can deliver a dimensional strike against demigod weapons," Bai Gui chuckled.
Jiang Ye suddenly understood.
He had long known that the True Divine Manual was a late-stage cultivation technique.
Most Heaven-Tier Techniques grew weaker with each breakthrough. By the ninth breakthrough, cultivators often needed to cultivate multiple Heaven-Tier Techniques just to maintain their strength.
But the True Divine Manual was different.
This technique grew stronger the further one progressed, especially after ascending to divinity. Its power ranked among the top-tier techniques of true divines.
"Can the True Divine Manual's power begin to manifest as early as the fifth breakthrough?" Jiang Ye asked, surprised.
"Not quite that quickly," Bai Gui replied. "The metamorphosis brought about by the True Divine Manual is internal, working from the inside out. weapon tempering, for example, relies on internal energy."
"But when it comes to combat power, what matters is the explosive release of stellar energy—an external manifestation."
"The True Divine Manual's effects at the fifth breakthrough stage are still relatively subtle," Bai Gui explained.
Jiang Ye nodded.
He wasn't concerned.
Even if the True Divine Manual's effects were subtle at the fifth breakthrough stage, it still far surpassed any Heaven-Tier Technique.
After fully refining the long spear in his hand, Jiang Ye's control over this demigod weapon had reached perfection.
He could clearly sense that the spear truly belonged to him, responding to his will as easily as his own limbs.
Whoosh! Jiang Ye gripped the long spear with both hands, channeling surging stellar energy. With a sudden thrust, he swung the spear through the air.
Crack!
A dazzling spear light flashed briefly, then vanished.
A faint white mark appeared, twenty centimeters long, as if leaving a scar in the void.
The 'scar' lingered for over ten seconds before slowly dissipating.
"Incredible power," Jiang Ye murmured, his eyes lighting up with delight.
A single strike had left a mark in the void that persisted for over ten seconds.
What did this imply?
With further refinement, he could shatter the void itself.
"With this demigod weapon," Jiang Ye thought, "I could easily slay even a mid-stage fifth breakthrough invincible dao bone."
Having experienced the weapon's might, Jiang Ye eagerly anticipated his next cultivation session.
"Next," he mused, "I'll test the effects of the third-tier Enlightenment Divine Jade." His eyes gleamed with anticipation.
With a thought, a faint glow emanated from his storage bracelet, accompanied by an invisible wave of energy.
The third-tier Enlightenment Divine Jade didn't need to be held in the mouth.
A mere thought activated its effects, greatly reducing the risk of exposure.
Buzz~
Jiang Ye was completely enveloped by the Enlightenment Divine Jade's resonance.
In an instant, his surroundings faded away, as if he had sunk into some illusionary realm. Within this realm, his mind became utterly clear, all chaotic thoughts coalescing into unity.
Luoshen Spear Technique.
First ultimate move: Four Suns Across the Sky.
Second ultimate move: Annihilation of Heaven and Earth.
Third ultimate move: Spiritual Sea.
The insights I plundered in the past can all be integrated now, Jiang Ye thought.
During the Hundred Cosmic Refinements, Jiang Ye had slain thousands of alien powerhouses.
The insights gained from these thousands of aliens were incredibly diverse and chaotic, even Jiang Ye couldn't refine them in a short time.
But now?
Within the illusionary realm, those chaotic insights seemed to refine themselves automatically. Jiang Ye could effortlessly extract their essence and integrate it into his spear technique.
Integrate.
Fuse. With a thought, Jiang Ye manifested countless figures around him.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Each figure wielded a long spear, executing a completely different spear technique. These were Jiang Ye's mental concepts, miraculously projected into reality through some divine means.
From Jiang Ye's perspective, he could immediately discern which ideas were viable and which were not.
Moreover, he could merge these figures, integrate various spear techniques into them, and conduct numerous experiments.
After a moment, Jiang Ye opened his eyes, a flicker of confusion in his gaze.
But then, his expression shifted to shock.
"That state just now?"
"Was that the effect of the third-tier Enlightenment Divine Jade?" Jiang Ye thought, deeply shaken. "It's utterly miraculous."
Previously, he hadn't felt anything at all.
Now, as he regained his senses, Jiang Ye immediately realized that the earlier 'illusionary realm' was precisely the intent realm created by the third-tier Enlightenment Divine Jade.
Within that intent realm, countless wonders existed.
For instance, the automatic refinement of cultivation insights.
Or the automatic summarization of the profound mysteries of spear techniques.
Most remarkably, within the enlightenment realm, the myriad thoughts and ideas in Jiang Ye's mind could materialize into tangible projections!
This was utterly astonishing.
"The enlightenment realm can accommodate a maximum of twenty projections," Jiang Ye mused. "That means I can simultaneously manipulate twenty Law Creation concepts and have them evolve automatically."
Jiang Ye had already experimented with this.
What does it mean to simultaneously control twenty Law Creation concepts?
It means Jiang Ye's Law Creation speed will be dramatically increased!
"Mental capacity is finite," Jiang Ye thought, his mind as clear as a mirror. "Even now, I can only simultaneously manage three to five concepts. If I delve too deeply, my thoughts might become chaotic."
For most people, being able to multitask between two tasks is already considered genius.
Let alone three.
Even among fifth breakthrough experts, those capable of multitasking between three tasks are exceedingly rare.
But now!
With the third-tier Enlightenment Divine Jade, Jiang Ye can multitask between twenty tasks!
"Incredible."
"Truly incredible," Jiang Ye marveled. "With the third-tier Enlightenment Divine Jade, my Law Creation speed will increase at least tenfold."
