Very soon, Jiang Ye fell into a deep sleep.
In the haze, he returned once more to his childhood, only a year old.
Cradled in the arms of a young, handsome man.
"Hmm?" Jiang Ye had just entered the dream realm.
He suddenly realized that this time the dream was unusually vivid.
Logically, the memories of a one-year-old child should be incredibly vague as they grow older, even completely forgotten.
But this time, he saw everything with unparalleled clarity.
"Is it because I entered the dream realm voluntarily?" Jiang Ye pondered as he looked ahead from a child’s perspective.
Ahead of him was a magnificent golden palace towering a hundred meters high.
The palace seemed to be cast in pure gold, with golden brick seams emanating star-like golden dust, resplendent beyond measure.
At the top of the golden palace, four flamboyant characters were inscribed:
’Star Sea Divine Path’!
"I must succeed, no matter the cost..." Jiang Ye overheard the young man’s murmurs once again.
At that moment, the young man looked down at Jiang Ye in his arms.
He reached out to ruffle young Jiang Ye’s hair, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
"Once this endeavor succeeds, we will fight our way back. Then, let’s see who dares to belittle us father and son!"
Jiang Ye was astonished.
He had never seen this scene in previous dreams.
After saying this, the young man looked up at the golden palace and then strode forward.
"Is he going to participate in the Star Sea Divine Path trial?" Jiang Ye wondered, "But why take me along?"
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look around, "Where is this palace located? It doesn’t seem to be in An City."
Unfortunately, the dream was hazy.
Jiang Ye looked around, unable to see anything further.
Soon, the young man stepped into the golden palace.
The next moment, Jiang Ye’s vision went black, becoming increasingly blurred.
He couldn’t see anything around him.
However, he could still hear the young man’s voice: "Sister Miao, please look after the child for me."
"Me take care?" A gentle female voice asked.
The young man sighed, "The child is only one year old, I can’t rest easy."
"In this city, the only one I trust is Sister Miao, please." he implored.
"Alright, you go." The gentle voice agreed.
"Thank you, Sister Miao."
After the young man finished speaking.
Jiang Ye felt himself being transferred to someone else’s arms, he couldn’t see clearly, but he could feel himself being pressed by two soft, large buns.
The young man’s footsteps faded away.
The gentle female voice suddenly sneered, "A mere village man, wanting to defy fate through the Star Sea Divine Path? How overambitious."
"If it weren’t for Lady Yu..." she snorted.
She carelessly placed Jiang Ye on a chair and went about her business.
The dream suddenly turned completely black here.
Fragmented and disjointed.
Jiang Ye could only occasionally catch snippets of words, most of which were indistinguishable.
The scene in the dream shifted.
The young Jiang Ye was thrown onto the street, enveloped by endless darkness.
Within that endless darkness, gigantic shadows loomed, threatening to devour Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye sat up abruptly from his bed, touching his back to find it drenched in cold sweat.
"Was that just... the Shadow Disaster?"
This dream gave him a lifelike sensation.
Especially the final scene.
It felt as if he had truly become a defenseless one-year-old child, facing limitless darkness alone.
Jiang Ye wasn’t clear on the events, left to wildly speculate.
The young man, you never truly know someone’s heart.
The Sister Miao he trusted the most was evidently not a good person.
Of course, it’s not necessarily that she was the one who threw him out.
But through this dream, Jiang Ye at least understood he wasn’t abandoned by his biological father.
As for the outcome of the trial? Unknown.
There were too many hazy segments in the dream, indistinct.
"Pity, I couldn’t glimpse the full extent of the Star Sea Divine Path." Jiang Ye shook his head, somewhat regretful.
This voluntary dream journey was supposed to let him see what was unique about the Star Sea Divine Path.
Once he entered the palace, the dream turned completely black.
Even the conversations were just fragmented phrases.
"Maybe, when I grow stronger, I’ll be able to see more." Jiang Ye speculated.
Previously, he could only see fragmented pieces.
This time, he witnessed many pieces he had never dreamed of.
Concerning his biological father, Sister Miao, and that ’Lady Yu’ mentioned in conversations? Once he surpasses the First Break, perhaps he could uncover the truth.
Jiang Ye shook his head, no longer dwelling on it. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel⚑fire.net
He sat cross-legged, entering the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder, commencing his Illusion Realm and pain training.
While Jiang Ye was immersed in Illusion Realm training.
Zhang Jianwu sat cross-legged, concluding a brief cultivation session.
At his realm, even going a whole week without sleep posed no sense of fatigue.
Zhang Jianwu stood, walking to the window, lighting a cigarette.
After pondering for a moment, he finally took out his phone, dialing a number.
"Director Zhang?" A sweet, melodious young woman’s voice came from the other side.
"Miss Chen." Zhang Jianwu inquired, "Are you busy?"
Due to the time difference.
Though it was already late at night on the An City side, in the ten provinces of Eastern Domain, it was only around eight in the evening.
Chen Zilu’s side constantly echoed with the sound of practicing combat arts, clearly in training.
Her voice clear, "Director Zhang, feel free to speak if something’s on your mind."
As a student of White Dragon University, there’s never a time when one isn’t busy.
Seizing every moment for cultivation.
Moreover, she had delayed in An City for a year, now returning to school meant she had to make the most of every moment.
Yet, to her old ’director’, Chen Zilu remained very polite.
"It’s about Jiang Ye."
Zhang Jianwu chuckled, "This time’s news, you might not believe."
Upon hearing the name, the young woman paused her training.
A hint of curiosity in her tone, "Did he score over 600 in the monthly exam?"
Zhang Jianwu shook his head, smiling, "Jiang Ye passed the Preparatory Star Profession assessment."
"Moreover, he is now a Level 2 Preparatory Star Positioner."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
"The other party requested a video projection." An electronic prompt sounded from the phone.
Zhang Jianwu pressed the confirm button.
"Beep~" A projection appeared.
In the projection, a breathtaking young woman clad in a plain white long dress stood holding a spear.
Her long dress revealed a portion of her fair, jade-like long legs, and snowy white lace-trimmed long socks.
At this moment, her usually cold and charming pale face showed an expression of slight astonishment.
Chen Zilu looked at Zhang Jianwu in disbelief, "Are you saying Jiang Ye? He became a Level 2 Preparatory Star Positioner?"
"Indeed." Zhang Jianwu nodded with a smile.
Seeing this expression on the young woman’s face bolstered his confidence in a certain decision.
Chen Zilu took a deep breath, her enchanting peach blossom eyes full of surprise.
If she recalled correctly.
The last time she talked with Jiang Ye, his monthly exam score was only 520, right?
That score was far from meeting the criteria for a Preparatory Star Positioner.
Let alone the higher requirements for a Level 2 Preparatory Star Positioner.
"Director." Chen Zilu inquired, "What was Jiang Ye’s most recent monthly exam score?"
Zhang Jianwu replied, "The last monthly exam was 690."
"690?" Chen Zilu’s pupils narrowed.
