Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1299: Chapter 520: Blood Poison

Because the Special Envoy of Eight Desolations, Ju Bo, met a violent death, Blood Moon City has been under a high-pressure state for three consecutive days. All departments and armies were deployed, practically sifting through any suspicious individuals in Blood Moon City.

Those capable of committing the crime, such as seventh-tier late and eighth-tier experts, were personally examined by the Left and Right Protectors, and later, it was even expanded to include seventh-tier middle cultivators.

But still, nothing was found.

The upper echelons of the Blood God Sect initially even wanted to play a scapegoating trick, randomly pinning the crime of assassinating the Special Envoy on a seventh-tier late Alien Race.

But the King of Eight Desolations was not easily fooled.

In the span of just two or three breaths, the seventh-tier sixth-layer Special Envoy Ju Bo was killed, along with two sixth-tier subordinates, while the perpetrator fled and hid with ease.

Such methods require extremely solid strength.

The consequences of a failed trick would be far more severe than those of an unsolved case!

After all, the former represents attitude, while the latter represents capability.

No matter how serious the consequences, Blood Moon City, now home to a million cultivators, ultimately has to keep running.

Therefore, the intensity of the searches weakened with each passing day!

Everyone understood that at this point, it had turned into mere posturing.

In this situation, even Xu Jin, who was also searching for the murderer, found himself spending more time idling.

Of course, Xu Jin spent all his idle time on cultivation.

In just two days, Xu Jin had absorbed all eight Seven-Order Purification Pearls.

He ascended two and a half layers in the Octagonal Cloud Tower.

On the third day, he refined and absorbed forty-four of the seventy-four Sixth Order Purification Pearls he obtained, ascending another one and a half layers in the Octagonal Cloud Tower.

Now, in his inner view, the Octagonal Cloud Tower within Xu Jin had increased by four full layers.

Even the fifteenth layer of the Cloud Tower had one corner.

This level of the Octagonal Cloud Tower made Xu Jin feel a sense of weightiness even when he sensed it himself.

His cultivation level had significantly improved compared to before.

Once he absorbed the remaining thirty Sixth Order Purification Pearls in hand, Xu Jin’s fifteenth layer of the Octagonal Cloud Tower would be complete.

Cultivation strength is confidence.

The harvest from this wave of Purification Pearls inflated Xu Jin’s confidence immensely.

If he were to obtain a few more waves of such harvests, Xu Jin would be even more confident.

Even if facing an eighth-tier peak expert, he might not win, but he could certainly ensure his survival.

This prompted Xu Jin to actively plan another major matter.

If that affair succeeded, then as long as he was careful, he could move freely in the Eight Desolation Continent.

Of course, a boost in confidence does not equate to arrogance.

Xu Jin remained very clear-headed.

A fifteen-layer Condensing Cloud Tower is quite rare among ordinary cultivators, but among the talented, it is considered average.

Most geniuses condense a twenty-layer Cloud Tower before breaking through to the seventh tier.

Xu Jin would need to condense the Cloud Tower to twenty or even thirty layers for a significant advantage.

Of course, even at present, Xu Jin’s Octagonal Cloud Tower gives him a considerable advantage.

Because whether at the Great Chen National Daoist School or among the geniuses of several major Star Halls, there are those who have condensed a twenty-layer Six-sided Cloud Tower.

But those who have condensed a twenty-seven-sided Cloud Tower are extremely rare. Most top talents are considered formidable if they can condense three to five layers of seven-sided Cloud Tower.

As for an Octagonal Cloud Tower, anyone below the seventh tier who can condense even a single layer is outrageously rare!

Currently, Xu Jin possesses an entirely Octagonal Cloud Tower.

This is where Xu Jin’s strength lies.

At this moment, during the deep night, Xu Jin, who was cultivating, slowly opened his eyes and stopped his cultivation.

After three days of turbulence, Blood Moon City was gradually calming down, and it was time for Xu Jin to take action.

Outside the quiet room, the beautiful maid arranged by Great Commander Zhong Ji was still dutifully on guard, ready to respond to Xu Jin’s call at any moment.

Through the Warm Dream inquiry, Xu Jin confirmed that the butler and this maid reported Xu Jin’s daily routine each time they shopped for groceries or dumped the trash.

Of course, they only reported the normal routine, with a focus on diligent cultivation.

As for the unusual daily activities, Xu Jin wouldn’t let them find out.

In the next instant, Xu Jin activated Warm Dream.

The maid, who had been yawning, instantly fell into a deep sleep, while the butler sleeping in the distant side room fell into an even deeper slumber.

After leaving the Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar behind, Xu Jin activated Invisibility and quietly left the residence, heading straight for the Blood Moon Army Camp.

Although the assassination of the Special Envoy had quieted down these past few days, the patrol within Blood Moon City had become even stricter.

Previously, at most, it was a sixth-tier expert leading the patrol.

But tonight, Xu Jin saw four seventh-tier experts leading the patrol.

However, Xu Jin was not afraid in the slightest.

Now, with the powerful Primordial Spirit power augmenting his Invisibility Star Skill, he had become incredibly adept.

Only those with a higher Primordial Spirit cultivation level than his could detect him at a certain distance.

But in Blood Moon City, individuals with higher Primordial Spirit cultivation levels than his are very rare, and even those on par with him are few.

In fact, Xu Jin had sensed the Primordial Spirit aura of Judicial Hall’s Mr. Mu and found it inferior to his own.

He hadn’t encountered the Left and Right Protectors, so he wasn’t sure.

Even among those whose Primordial Spirit cultivation level was on par with his, detecting him would require a very close distance, like entering the range of the opponent’s Primordial Spirit Embryo Light perception.

Theoretically, as long as Xu Jin maintains a distance of twenty to fifty meters from those seventh-tier experts, he is safe.

He seamlessly reached the Blood Moon Army Camp and easily infiltrated it. Soon enough, he found the barracks where his teacher Qi Shanye was located.

Qi Shanye, as a Guard General, naturally had a separate barrack, with personal aides standing guard for him.

To Xu Jin’s surprise, even though it was late at night, his teacher Qi Shanye was still diligently cultivating.
