Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1158: Chapter 461: Comparison Drives People Mad (Part 2)

Occasionally, someone achieves a Seven-pointed or Octagonal Cloud Tower, they are a genius among geniuses.

Take National Master Cheng Yuexiao for example, in his Star Tower, he only has one Octagonal Star Tower and six Seven-pointed Star Towers.

This was already extremely strong.

But now, Xu Jin wants to give it a try.

Xu Jin wants to specifically test how much enhancement an extra point on the Cloud Tower brings to the cultivation level.

If the enhancement is great, then Xu Jin might consider accumulating a batch of resources.

Subsequently, with a thought, Xu Jin stimulated the Primordial Spirit Divine Thought, and began strengthening the Thunder Origin Star Pattern again.

After breaking through to the Sixth Tier Cloud Tower, the speed of star pattern reinforcement slightly accelerated, but it wasn’t too obvious.

However, the main force of Xu Jin’s star pattern reinforcement was the vast Primordial Spirit Divine Thought.

After more than half a day, Xu Jin successfully reinforced the Thunder Origin Star Pattern to the eighth layer.

Again, taking out the Sixth Order Purification Pearl to cultivate.

After consuming eleven pearls, through inner sight, the one-tier Cloud Tower in Xu Jin’s body grew several degrees more majestic, especially the Six-pointed Cloud Tower, which looked extremely imposing.

Xu Jin closed his eyes and silently sensed for a while, drawing a conclusion.

An additional tower point increases the cultivation level by about one and a half tenths.

Theoretically, among those at the Sixth Tier First Layer Peak, the potency of those with a Six-pointed Cloud Tower is about one and a half times greater than those with a Three-pointed.

However, this is just a one-layer difference.

If it reaches the Sixth Tier Second Layer, the difference in cloud towers remains the same, then in terms of cultivation level, the Six-pointed Cloud Tower would be twice as strong as the Three-pointed.

Should they both form Octagonal Cloud Towers, even encountering geniuses with Six-pointed Cloud Towers, as long as the cultivation level breaks through to the Sixth Tier Fourth Layer, their Star Power cultivation will be twice that of those at the Sixth Tier Cloud Tower!

But, that’s not the most astonishing part.

What’s truly astonishing is, according to the national master, different Star Tower foundations have different limits for deriving Cloud Towers at the Sixth Tier.

For the most ordinary cultivators, they can only derive Cloud Towers at ten layers, while most elites and genius cultivators can derive them at twenty layers.

Yet Xu Jin, having formed his star tower’s base with seventy-two Star Cores, can theoretically derive Cloud Towers at a minimum of seventy-two layers.

But, this is merely a conjecture by the State Preceptor.

Everything requires Xu Jin to elevate his cultivation to the Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak before attempting.

However, Xu Jin already made up his mind that as long as time permits, he would derive an Octagonal Cloud Tower.

A single layer cloud tower advantage isn’t significant, two layers offer slight benefits, but ten, twenty layers, this gap becomes like heaven and earth.

Having determined his path, Xu Jin begins to implement his new cultivation plan.

Strengthening the star patterns while boosting cultivation.

Two and a half days later, Xu Jin strengthens the Thunder Origin Star Pattern to eight layers.

Then, in the shortest time, he uses the purification pearl to derive the first layer Cloud Tower into an Octagonal.

In inner sight, there exists a one-layer but seemingly majestic and imposing Octagonal Cloud Tower.

The momentum is terrifying!

Now it’s just one layer, if consolidated to nine layers, nineteen layers, or even twenty-nine layers, what a towering star tower this would be!

[State Preceptor, I have completed my breakthrough, you can now set off, I’m also making the final preparations, once you arrive, we can take action, if possible, we must uncover the true identity of this Blood God Sect Vice Sect Hierarch.]

Xu Jin sends a Starlight Transmission to the national master Cheng Yuexiao using the Mandarin Duck Seal.

[Have you completely broken through successfully, and has your cultivation stabilized?] Cheng Yuexiao asked with concern.

[Yes, cultivation has already reached the Sixth Tier First Layer Peak.] Xu Jin replied.

[That’s good. How many points did you finally derive for the Cloud Tower? Five or six? I guess, based on your character, it must be six.] National Master Cheng Yuexiao asked.

[State Preceptor, I put in some effort and managed to make the first-layer Cloud Tower an eight-pointed one.]

Inside the Wanyi Danxia Palace, seeing the message sent from the Mandarin Duck Seal, National Master Cheng Yuxiao was momentarily stunned and then burst into a bitter smile, [Just broke through and you’ve already derived an eight-point Cloud Tower, you’re not letting others live...]

[State Preceptor, you just broke through, how many points did you derive for your Cloud Tower?] Xu Jin curiously asked.

[Six points, even that, among my peers, it’s already a rare occurrence.]

Within Danxia Palace, as Cheng Yuexiao replied, Elder Peng, who was ordered to guard Danxia Palace, had just returned. He saw Cheng Yuexiao’s expression, and curiously asked, "What happened that makes the Palace Master look like this."

National Master Cheng Yuexiao took one glance at the recently returned Elder Peng and laughed.

Honestly, it’s better to be frustrated together than alone, so he asked with a laugh, "Elder Peng, back in your day when you reached the Sixth Tier Cloud Tower, how many points was your first Cloud Tower?"

"Mine was a five-point Cloud Tower initially, and it remained at five points until my cultivation reached the Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak and I slowly honed it, finally deriving several six-point Cloud Towers. Why does the Palace Master ask about this upon breaking through?" Elder Peng curiously asked.

"Here’s some good news, Xu Jin broke through to the Sixth Tier and has derived a Cloud Tower." Cheng Yuexiao said.

"So quickly?"

Elder Peng paused, but then laughed, "But given this young man’s capabilities, it’s considered normal! This is really good news, by the way, how many points is his first Cloud Tower?"

"Guess?" National Master Cheng Yuexiao glanced at Elder Peng.

Elder Peng thought for a few moments, "This young man has high aspirations, but his cultivation time is quite short. He probably disregarded the idea of a five-point Cloud Tower, maybe six-point, like you back in the day." He said, using eye contact to check if he guessed correctly.

"No." National Master Cheng Yuexiao shook his head.

Elder Peng was slightly taken aback, "Not six points, could it be five?"

National Master Cheng Yuexiao shook his head again.

In the next instant, Elder Peng exclaimed, "Palace Master, don’t tell me this young man derived a seven-point Cloud Tower on his first try? I reached the Seventh Layer only after ten years of breaking through to the Sixth Tier."

National Master Cheng Yuexiao shook his head once again.

This time, Elder Peng was truly shocked.

"Still not correct? Four-point Cloud Tower, absolutely impossible."

Gasp!

Elder Peng suddenly took a deep breath, "Palace Master, don’t tell me this young man directly derived an eight-point Cloud Tower?"

Only then did National Master Cheng Yuexiao seriously nod.

In the next instant, Elder Peng suddenly sat down heavily on his meditation mat, "Really, comparing oneself with others makes one angry! Even as an Eighth Tier, I didn’t derive an eight-point Cloud Tower, and yet this young one who just broke through did.

How unfair is heaven!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Seeing Elder Peng’s frustrated expression, National Master Cheng Yuexiao’s frustration dissipated. As expected, being frustrated together is the best way to relieve stress.

With loud laughter, Cheng Yuexiao stepped onto the stars and vanished into the sky, leaving only the Divine Soul Transmission echoing in Elder Peng’s mind.

"Elder Peng, in the coming days, hold the fort at the Star-picking Tower main building, I’m going to handle something, just let others believe that I’m in closed door cultivation."

"Rest assured, Palace Master."

Responding, Elder Peng likewise stepped onto the stars and in an instant entered the Great Chen Star Tower’s main building to hold the fort.
