At that moment, Jiang Ye suddenly recalled Bai Gui's earlier words: "You can't yet fully utilize the third-tier Enlightenment Divine Jade's potential."
The thought struck him.
"Senior Bai Gui," Jiang Ye immediately asked, "does this third-tier Enlightenment Divine Jade have even greater capabilities?"
He knew Bai Gui had been watching him closely.
"You guessed correctly," Bai Gui said with a smile. "If a divinity were to use it, its effects would be far greater than what you can achieve. A divinity could activate at least a hundred consciousness projection."
"What?"
"A hundred!" Jiang Ye was utterly stunned.
Does that mean they could simultaneously control a hundred thought streams and let them evolve automatically?
How absurd is that?
"So," Bai Gui continued, "don't underestimate it. In a third-tier civilization, a third-tier Enlightenment Divine Jade is worth enough to buy a large number of Capital Stars from first-tier civilizations."
What?!
Jiang Ye was completely dumbfounded.
Buy a large number of Capital Stars? Since when could Capital Star transactions be described as "large numbers"?
And first-tier civilization Capital Stars at that?
"Truly terrifying," Jiang Ye murmured, holding his breath.
At that moment, he truly grasped the treasure's value.
No wonder Bai Gui had said even a third realm of divinity expert like Bai Gu would covet it.
The third-tier Enlightenment Divine Jade must remain hidden, Jiang Ye resolved inwardly.
Soon after, Bai Gui said, "Continue your cultivation."
"With a third-tier Enlightenment Divine Jade, my Luoshen Spear Technique might undergo further metamorphosis," Jiang Ye mused. "All three ultimate moves have immense room for improvement."
The three ultimate moves of the Luoshen Spear Technique had been created in the past.
But now, the Luoshen Spear Technique had advanced to a divine-grade spear technique.
These three ultimate moves now contained numerous inconsistencies.
"Once I successfully refine these ultimate moves, my strength will undoubtedly surge severalfold," Jiang Ye thought, his consciousness once again sinking into the enlightenment realm.
Time flowed by as Jiang Ye immersed himself in enlightenment and Law Creation, refining the Luoshen Spear Technique.
Meanwhile.
At the Blue Star Federation headquarters, within a floating fortress shrouded in endless clouds.
Inside a majestic floating palace.
"Another seventh-tier shadow calamity has emerged," a burly figure in a cyan robe stood at the center of the hall, gazing at the massive screen projection before him.
The projection displayed the shadow calamity situation across the Blue Star Federation's forty provinces.
As the cyan-robed figure watched, suddenly—
"Whoosh!" The void rippled.
A moment later, a white-robed elder with snow-white hair materialized.
If Jiang Ye were here, he would immediately recognize the white-robed elder as Chen Jiuxuan, the Chen Family Patriarch, whom he had parted ways with just recently.
"Alliance Leader," Chen Jiuxuan said, bowing slightly to the green-robed figure.
Though both were demigods, Alliance Leader Qi Tian's strength far surpassed his own.
This was precisely why Qi Tian held the position of alliance leader.
The current unity among the transcendent families in their fight against the Shadow Calamity was largely due to Qi Tian's absolute leadership.
Without such a powerful leader, some families might have retreated into fortuitous secret realm, isolating themselves until a second demigod emerged within their ranks.
"Old Chen," the green-robed figure said with a smile, "there's no need for such formality. By seniority, I'm your junior."
"These are the rules," Chen Jiuxuan replied, shaking his head.
Qi Tian was indeed much younger than him.
Yet this very youth was the source of the alliance's immense prestige.
A demigod under two hundred years old was a singular phenomenon in the entire Blue Star Civilization.
Without dwelling further on the matter, Chen Jiuxuan continued, "Alliance Leader, I've heard reports of another seventh-tier shadow calamity appearing?"
He had come bearing grave news.
"Yes," Qi Tian nodded, pointing to a screen projection. "It originates from the Western Ten Provinces—Xihai Province."
"According to the monitoring center, the Shadow Calamity about to erupt in Xihai Province is a 7.1-magnitude event," Alliance Leader Qi Tian announced swiftly.
Blue Star had well-established early warning systems for Shadow Calamities, especially high-level ones, which could provide several hours of advance notice.
"A 7.1-magnitude Shadow Calamity?"
"We'll need to mobilize a significant number of experts again," Chen Jiuxuan sighed inwardly. "The Chen Clan still has a few experts at the seventh breakthrough realm or higher. I'll order them to provide reinforcements immediately."
"That won't be necessary." Qi Tian shook his head. "Old Chen, the Chen Clan has already contributed more than enough reinforcements. Your family needs to retain some forces. It's the Zhou and Chu families who have yet to send adequate support."
"Let those two families handle the reinforcements this time."
Each high-level Shadow Calamity required mobilizing a massive number of experts for reinforcement.
After all, Blue Star's high-realm experts were limited in number, with the vast majority concentrated in a few prosperous provinces.
In underdeveloped regions like the Western Ten Provinces and the Northern Ten Provinces, high-realm experts were scarce.
"Very well," Chen Jiuxuan nodded. "Thank you, Alliance Leader."
Yet his expression remained grave.
"Alliance Leader," Chen Jiuxuan sighed, "Blue Star has already experienced nine seventh-tier shadow calamities, hasn't it? If this continues, our experts may soon be stretched too thin."
"We still have several years until the civilization strife crossing."
"Blue Star... can we hold out until then?" Chen Jiuxuan sighed softly.
"Don't be so pessimistic," Qi Tian said, shaking his head. "Our strong warriors are limited, but so are the Shadow Clan's."
"But if we continue to suffer these losses, it will be disastrous for Blue Star," Chen Jiuxuan said gravely. "If our geniuses are decimated, we'll likely fail in the civilization strife crossing in a few years."
This was precisely the Shadow Clan's goal.
The civilization strife crossing hinges on the number of geniuses across all realms.
With the Shadow Calamities erupting everywhere, we can't rely solely on ordinary warriors to reinforce each high-level outbreak. Every major calamity is accompanied by multiple mid-level ones, meaning our geniuses will inevitably be drawn into the fighting.
It's only a matter of time.
The Shadow Calamities will persist for years, and Blue Star simply can't afford such attrition.
"Old Chen," Qi Tian said, looking at him. "Rest assured. Give me a little more time."
Chen Jiuxuan froze.
"Alliance Leader, could it be...?" Chen Jiuxuan's eyes widened in surprise. "You're about to break through to the peak of the demigod realm?"
"Yes."
"I need time," Qi Tian said solemnly. "To wait for the right moment."
"I know Blue Star will inevitably face a 7.9-level Shadow Calamity, but I hope it's delayed as long as possible."
"Because once a 7.9-level calamity erupts, I'll have to intervene," Qi Tian said gravely. "And if I intervene, it will trigger the ultimate shadow calamity."
Chen Jiuxuan fell silent.
He understood the alliance leader's meaning.
A 7.9-level Shadow Calamity meant that a demigod-level Shadow Clan entity would inevitably emerge, unleashing an unprecedented catastrophe upon Blue Star.
As for the ultimate shadow calamity? It was even more terrifying.
Multiple 7.9-level Shadow Calamities would erupt across Blue Star, creating the most devastating disaster imaginable.
"Alliance Leader," Chen Jiuxuan said with a sigh, "I understand your meaning. But... my time is running short. I doubt I'll live to see that day."
Qi Tian paused, startled.
"I came here to entrust a junior to you," Chen Jiuxuan said solemnly. "Protecting him is protecting Blue Star's future."
