Unaware of the turmoil brewing outside, Jiang Ye remained secluded in Chen Zilu's residence, diligently refining the Luoshen Spear Technique.
Of course, he didn't devote all his time to spear technique.
Each day, Jiang Ye dedicated a third of his time to cultivating the True Divine Manual.
With the aid of the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal, his progress in the True Divine Manual was astonishingly rapid.
In just half a month, he had reached the peak of the fourth breakthrough and was now poised to break through to the fifth.
And so it continued.
Day after day, Jiang Ye cultivated relentlessly, his strength increasing at a rate unimaginable to anyone.
Meanwhile, as Jiang Ye focused on his training and advancement, outside the Chen Clan, nestled deep within the vast mountain range, a gaunt figure concealed himself within a cavern atop a mountain peak, sitting cross-legged as he observed the Chen Clan's movements.
This man was Ma Qian.
While monitoring the Chen Clan's activities, Ma Qian also kept an eye on Xia Qing and Zhuo Feng, who were positioned several kilometers away.
All three maintained unwavering patience.
They knew Jiang Ye spent most of his time within the Chen Clan, rarely venturing out.
But Jiang Ye couldn't remain confined forever.
Sooner or later, he would emerge.
One day.
Two days.
Three days...
Gradually, their patience began to fray.
"Could Jiang Ye really be planning to stay holed up in the Chen Clan until the Great Stellar War?" Xia Qing thought anxiously.
If they waited until the Great Stellar War, Jiang Ye would likely be accompanied by powerful protectors.
More critically, the Great Stellar War was still several months away.
How much would Jiang Ye's strength increase during those months? That remained an unknown.
"Don't rush,"
"Be patient," Zhuo Feng murmured beside Xia Qing. "If we truly have no opportunity, we'll have to abandon this. We can't just storm the Chen Clan."
Xia Qing nodded.
Though most of the Chen Clan's powerhouses had left to provide reinforcements, the foundation of a transcendent family remained unfathomable.
No one knew whether their demigod ancestor was still within the clan's territory.
Inside the Chen Clan's training hall, Jiang Ye, gripping his silver-black long spear, the Black Divine Spear, clashed fiercely with Chen Zilu.
Black Divine Spear.
This was the name Jiang Ye had given his new weapon, derived from the name of his spear technique.
The spear's power perfectly matched its name.
Boom! Boom!
With each swing of the Black Divine Spear, streaks of dark light flashed through the void, leaving trails of white scars in their wake. The terrifying momentum reverberated like the thunderous roar of a Divine being.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Jiang Ye and Chen Zilu exchanged over a hundred strikes in the blink of an eye, their battle reaching a fever pitch.
After another violent collision, Jiang Ye suddenly unleashed a spear strike. The razor-sharp spear tip carried a divine resonance of annihilation, enveloping Chen Zilu in its destructive aura.
Chen Zilu swiftly raised her Silver Dragon Spear to parry, channeling a powerful surge of stellar energy to withstand Jiang Ye's overwhelmingly forceful strike.
Boom!
The two spears clashed, unleashing an earth-shattering roar.
A visible shockwave erupted, instantly pulverizing the surrounding ground. Fortunately, the training hall's advanced materials immediately restored the damaged area.
"Huff~"
"Jiang Ye, your spear strikes are getting fiercer." Chen Zilu lowered her spear, her body drenched in sweat. The intense battle with Jiang Ye had drained her stamina.
"Senior sister, are you already giving up?" Jiang Ye grinned. "I haven't even used my ultimate move yet."
Since breaking through to the fifth breakthrough in his life level, Jiang Ye had been able to clash head-on with Chen Zilu without her needing to suppress her full strength.
During this period, Jiang Ye and Chen Zilu had engaged in frequent, in-depth exchanges, benefiting each other immensely.
"Ultimate move?" Chen Zilu scoffed. "I'm not clashing ultimate moves with you. That technique of yours is just ridiculous."
"Ridiculous?" Jiang Ye chuckled.
Indeed!
After over half a month of refinement, he had successfully perfected a new Ultimate Spear Art:
Luoshen Spear Technique, First Form Ultimate Move—Ten Suns Ascend!
In the past, this technique was called Four Suns Across the Sky.
The upgrade from four suns to ten was far more than a mere quantitative change.
To perfectly unleash the power of his divine-grade spear technique, Jiang Ye meticulously refined every detail of this ultimate move.
Compared to its previous iteration, its destructive force had increased exponentially.
The last time Jiang Ye used it, even Chen Zilu was astonished by its sheer absurdity.
"But Senior Sister's Ultimate Spear Art is equally formidable," Jiang Ye acknowledged, his mind as clear as a mirror.
After all, Chen Zilu had already reached the late-stage of her fifth breakthrough, nearly at its peak.
She had refrained from clashing ultimate moves with Jiang Ye out of concern for injuring him.
"Once I perfect the second and third ultimate moves, I'll be able to truly unleash my full potential and fight Senior Sister properly," Jiang Ye thought, a flicker of anticipation rising within him.
Currently, without any buffs, he was still significantly weaker than Chen Zilu.
However, the second and third ultimate moves of the Luoshen Spear Technique possessed terrifying power.
Once Jiang Ye perfected them, these two techniques alone would be enough to contend with late-stage fifth breakthrough powerhouses.
After all, Jiang Ye had fused the insights of thousands of alien powerhouses!
Their combined strength was unimaginable.
"Senior Sister, let's continue," Jiang Ye said with a smile.
"Again?" Chen Zilu's delicate face paled slightly. She had been sparring fiercely with Jiang Ye for hours, her jade-like legs beginning to tremble.
If Jiang Ye's strength were comparable to hers, it wouldn't be a problem.
But now, if she unleashed her full power, she feared she might injure him. Yet if she held back, Jiang Ye would continue to suppress her. The entire fight felt frustratingly stifled.
Suddenly,
Buzz! Chen Zilu's communication wristband vibrated urgently.
"Hmm? It's Teacher Qiu," she said, quickly tapping the wristband to reveal a message.
Her expression instantly changed as she read it.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ye asked, noticing her reaction and hurrying over.
He quickly glanced at the message.
The message was brief:
"Teacher Qiu Cang has returned from the front lines... grievously wounded?" Jiang Ye's face also darkened.
Qiu Cang was an eighth breakthrough powerhouse—a level of strength rarely injured. Any injury he sustained would be severe.
And this was a grievous wound.
"Senior sister, I'm heading back to school now," Jiang Ye said. With his Broken Mirror, Reunited ability, he could potentially repair any injury, provided it wasn't delayed too long. If the damage reached the origin, even he would be powerless to help.
"I'm coming with you," Chen Zilu replied immediately.
Without hesitation, the two stepped out the door, transforming into twin streaks of flowing light that soared into the heavens.
