In the training hall of Star Garden No. 11, Jiang Ye sat cross-legged.
The Great Stellar War is still several months away, he thought. In these months, I must strive to reach the mid-stage of the fifth breakthrough.
My life level is manageable, but the True Divine Manual is the real challenge.
The True Divine Manual is currently at the peak of the fourth breakthrough, still a considerable distance from the fifth breakthrough. Jiang Ye slowly examined his progress.
Even with the aid of the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal, a rare treasure, the True Divine Manual's progress remained painfully slow. Jiang Ye wasn't surprised.
As the True Divine Manual gradually approached the fifth breakthrough, Jiang Ye could sense the stellar energy within his body growing increasingly potent. Though still at the peak of the fourth breakthrough, it already rivaled the power of others at the fifth breakthrough.
"Cultivation technique," Jiang Ye murmured, glancing at his status panel.
White Dragon True Divine Manual (Upper Volume): Uninitiated (95%)
The True Divine Manual was just 5% away from entry.
"Entry?"
"When the True Divine Manual reaches entry, it will be the fifth breakthrough!" Jiang Ye thought to himself. "From the fifth breakthrough onward, I'll gradually widen the gap between myself and others."
"From now on,"
"The difference between me and the rest of Blue Star will only grow greater." Jiang Ye recalled the True Divine Manual's descriptions.
The True Divine Manual was a late-stage powerhouse.
The first through fifth breakthroughs focused on accumulating foundational strength.
From the fifth breakthrough onward, its true power would gradually manifest.
Great Accumulation, Sudden Breakthrough!
When he finally ascended to divinity, this cultivation method would truly rise, unleashing terrifying power.
Its prolonged growth phase was one of the reasons for the White Dragon Civilization's downfall.
"Hope,"
"The True Divine Manual breaks through to the fifth breakthrough soon." Jiang Ye's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "Then I can use the Fire Source Fruit to condense my heart fire."
If he successfully condensed his heart fire...
This would not only aid in comprehending the mysteries of fire in the future but also significantly enhance his current combat power.
"Hmm," Jiang Ye murmured.
"Apart from the True Divine Manual, breaking through life levels is much easier," Jiang Ye said with a smile. "Thanks to the cosmic blessing, my life level is now quite close to the mid-stage fifth breakthrough."
"A few more cosmic temperings should do the trick."
"If all else fails, I'll just ask Senior Sister for some Fifth-Tier Opportunities," Jiang Ye thought to himself.
Chen Zilu had left him a wealth of Fifth-Tier Opportunities.
Jiang Ye might have verbally declined them, but when push came to shove, his body would inevitably betray his words.
At worst, he reasoned, I'll just have to repay Senior Sister with even greater effort later.
After planning his realm cultivation, Jiang Ye turned his attention to his system panel.

"The Nine Luminaries Star-Treading technique isn't yet perfected," Jiang Ye said with a shake of his head and a wry smile.
He hadn't had time to cultivate this earth-rank secret art, having devoted most of his efforts to mastering his spear technique.
In truth, the Nine Luminaries Star-Treading technique could significantly enhance the power of the Luoshen Spear.
"I need to perfect it as soon as possible," Jiang Ye thought. "And the Star-Piercing Arrow Technique... I should aim to reach great perfection within the next few months."
At great perfection, the Star-Piercing Arrow Technique could unleash over a thousand arrow lights in a single instant!
Combined with Void Enemy Detection, this technique would pose a formidable threat even to late-stage fifth breakthrough experts.
"Oh, right," Jiang Ye suddenly remembered. "Since breaking through to the fifth breakthrough, I haven't checked the Martial Dao Heavenly Ladder yet."
In the next moment, he closed his eyes and entered the Martial Dao Heavenly Ladder directly.
Just seconds later, Jiang Ye reopened his eyes with a faint hint of resignation.
"As expected, it's still impossible," he muttered. "It seems I need to reach the fifth breakthrough in the True Divine Manual to ascend to the seventh level of the Martial Dao Heavenly Ladder."
For now, he wasn't yet a true fifth breakthrough expert, having only broken through at the life level.
Only by breaking through in one's cultivation method could one undergo a true metamorphosis, both internally and externally, and truly shatter the fifth life's shackles.
"No need to rush," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "At this rate, I'll achieve a genuine breakthrough in no more than a month."
As Jiang Ye formally began his cultivation at White Dragon University...
In the Chen Clan Territory...
The Chen Family Patriarch, Chen Jiuxuan, had already scoured the memories of every Chen Clan member.
"Chen Yi, what do you have to say for yourself?" Chen Jiuxuan demanded coldly, glaring at a pockmarked middle-aged man. "Betraying clan secrets and colluding with the Hidden God Organization—do you acknowledge your guilt?"
He had already discovered that the pockmarked man before him was the one who had leaked the information.
"Ancestor!" Chen Yi knelt trembling on the ground. "It was a moment of foolishness, my judgment clouded by greed! I beg your forgiveness!"
"Hmph!"
"Those who err must be punished," Chen Jiuxuan snorted, abruptly raising his hand.
A palm strike!
Invisible force coalesced, instantly enveloping Chen Yi.
Boom! A flash of light, followed by a deafening roar, and the pockmarked man exploded into a cloud of blood mist, splattering crimson across the surroundings.
He fell dead on the spot.
A profound silence descended.
Hundreds of Chen Clan members lowered their heads, trembling in fear.
In that moment, they all recalled that their ancestor had never been a benevolent figure.
To have survived the tumultuous era, ascended to demigod status, and endured to this day, one could not be anything but ruthless.
Chen Jiuxuan, the Chen Family Patriarch, had founded their transcendent family not with mere words, but by forging his reputation in blood.
It was precisely his iron-fisted rule that had allowed the Chen Clan to stand strong for five hundred years, unyielding to this day.
"You others," Chen Jiuxuan said, his gaze sweeping over the remaining clan members, his expression icy. "Your past actions... let this be a warning!"
"Yes!" the group responded hastily.
Through memory searches, the patriarch had witnessed their past deeds.
In truth, every individual carries their own stains.
This was especially true for an organization as vast as a transcendent family.
Fortunately, the Chen Clan's strict code had prevented these members, aside from Chen Yi, from committing any fundamental transgressions.
"Our Chen Clan's foundation rests upon strict discipline," Chen Jiuxuan declared.
"Internal corruption will inevitably lead to decay, no matter how strong the exterior appears!" Chen Jiuxuan declared coldly. "I rarely interfere in your daily affairs."
"But if anyone uses the guise of family interests to pursue personal gain, I will show no mercy!"
Chen Jiuxuan's voice boomed with authority.
"Yes!" Hundreds of Chen Clan members responded in unison.
