Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1312: Chapter 526: Enticement

"Brothers, do you think I’m having a lucky streak?"

"Big brother, has something good happened?"

Xu Jin, who was in secluded cultivation, was suddenly called to Zhong Ji’s residence by Great Commander Blood Hawk Zhong Ji, whose face was radiant with excitement.

"Absolutely! Come, let’s down a bowl first!"

Before Xu Jin could settle in, Zhong Ji held up a bowl of wine. It was the fine wine Xu Jin had gifted him earlier, and now it was brought out, clearly showing that his mood was indeed excellent.

"Ah! Refreshing!"

Zhong Ji let out a satisfied breath of wine, slapped his thigh, and laughed, "Sometimes I wonder if I have a bit of destiny on my side.

Just the day before yesterday, I was worried about the Purple Wing King showing up at our doorstep and even considered taking you guys to hide away.

But to my surprise, Chief Mu told me this morning that the party led by the Purple Wing King was assassinated by a mysterious expert on their way!

Assassinated!

All wiped out, hahaha!

Brothers, would you say my luck is good or not?"

"Really?"

Xu Jin was naturally taken aback, "If that’s really the case, then big brother is indeed having a lucky streak, destined for greatness!"

"Hahahaha!"

With the emotional support provided by Xu Jin, Zhong Ji burst into hearty laughter again.

After laughing, he raised another bowl of wine and said, "Brother, your luck isn’t bad either! This time, some good things are coming your way too."

"What good things?" This time, Xu Jin was truly surprised.

Sitting at home, could good things really come falling from the sky?

"Here’s the thing, with the impending war, the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, has opened the Limit Breaking Secret Realm, claiming it can assist Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak cultivators in breaking through to the Seventh Tier, increasing the success rate by at least thirty percent!

We’ve been allocated four spots by the Judicial Hall.

Brother, don’t say I didn’t look out for you. I fought tooth and nail with Chief Mu to secure one spot for you!

Think about it, the typical probability for a cultivator to break through to the Seventh Tier is about ten to thirty percent!

Your foundation is strong, so you have a twenty, even thirty percent chance.

With the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pill, that’s a forty percent chance, which is why you’ve been hesitant to break through, right?" Zhong Ji asked.

Xu Jin dazedly nodded.

Was he unwilling to break through?

It was more like he didn’t want to right now!

"But now, entering this Limit Breaking Secret Realm can increase your breakthrough probability by thirty percent, making it over seventy percent effective!

Brother, this is your solid chance to break through to the Seventh Tier!

I’ve put in a lot of effort to secure this for you, so be sure to prepare well and successfully break through to the Seventh Tier!

When the time comes, I’ll take you under my wing, and we’ll be unbeatable below the Eighth Tier, haha!" Zhong Ji laughed as he spoke.

"Thanks for your effort, big brother! Right, how many people are going, and when do we leave?" Xu Jin inquired about the details from Zhong Ji.

However, Zhong Ji’s knowledge was limited.

It was said there were only thirty spots in total.

For the Sixth Tier, all were Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak, taking up half, fifteen in total.

The Seventh Tier was also given fifteen spots, seven Seventh Tier Ninth Layer Peak, and eight from the Seventh Tier Mid to Late Period.

It’s said that entering as a Seventh Tier cultivator can not only increase the probability of breaking through to the Eighth Tier but also rapidly enhance one’s realm.

The date set is February 13th.

Initially, Xu Jin wanted to decline. Most of the Blood God Sect’s Sixth and Seventh Tier members were poor; what was the point of going in?

The main issue was Xu Jin didn’t plan on breaking through to the Seventh Tier yet.

He wanted to continue condensing the Cloud Tower to see if he could achieve the ’connecting heaven and earth’ as the State Preceptor described.

But an offhand comment from Zhong Ji dispelled Xu Jin’s intent to refuse.

The top elites of the Eight Desolate Alien Race, including many Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak and Seventh Tier Ninth Layer Peak aliens from the Golden Pillar Clan, would all enter.

Most importantly, the elites of the Golden Pillar Clan would be there.

The elites from the Golden Pillar Clan were all wealthy, at least in Xu Jin’s eyes, having cleansing pearls, ah!

In that case, he would go in and scout around, perhaps gaining some cultivation materials.

Unfortunately, no Eighth Tier was mentioned!

If they sent in even one or two Eighth Tier, Xu Jin would have great harvests.

Of course, refusing wasn’t really an option for Xu Jin; such top-down decisions were hard to decline.

Despite Zhong Ji’s claims of exerting great effort, Xu Jin could see most of that was exaggerated.

When Xu Jin returned to his courtyard, his heart suddenly skipped a beat as a Mandarin Duck Seal suddenly flashed with starlight. Checking the number, it was the seal he used for communicating with his teacher, Qi Shanye.

"Jin’er, I just received notice that the Left Protector has directly ordered me to participate in the Limit Breaking Secret Realm initiated by the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang. We’re to set off in three days, and your Uncle Mo also received orders to participate.

Could you perhaps make a trip to Blood Cloud City over the next day or two, to help your Uncle Mo suppress his blood poison? I’m afraid it might impair his mind during the breakthrough, leading to irreversible consequences."

Regarding this Limit Breaking Secret Realm, Xu Jin was still hesitating, but upon seeing the message from his teacher Qi Shanye, Xu Jin decisively decided to participate.

Firstly, to look after his teacher.

Secondly, strictly speaking, Qi Shanye and Mo Ji were trusted proteges being groomed by the Blood God Sect’s Left and Right Protectors. If they were sending their trusted aides, then there’s a very high chance this Limit Breaking Secret Realm has genuine benefits.

Furthermore, the Golden Pillar alien race’s Seventh Tier members could still yield some gains.

"Teacher, I was also notified to participate in this Limit Breaking Secret Realm."

"That’s convenient then, no need to go to Blood Cloud City, just find your Uncle Mo within the Limit Breaking Secret Realm and help suppress his blood poison then."
