Chapter 1387: Chapter 555: Ju Zhang’s Way of Thinking
February 17, Eight Desolate Continent, Green Snake City.
For five consecutive days, Xu Jin had been in secluded cultivation outside the city of the Green Snake Clan.
This was considered another layer of security for Xu Jin; if necessary, he could activate the Blood Concealing Pearl, refined with the essence blood and star core of the Green Snake aliens, to hide his presence.
In this Green Snake City before him, the strongest cultivation level was Seventh Tier Eighth Layer, with a total of sixteen at the Seventh Tier.
Unfortunately, the Thousand Star Token doesn’t accept Seventh Tier star cores. Otherwise, Xu Jin would have considered slaughtering a wave of aliens to exchange for the points of the Thousand Star Token.
In the place of secluded cultivation, Xu Jin, who had been immersed in painstaking cultivation for five days, suddenly opened his eyes.
In the depths of his eyes, there was a hint of astonishment, but after the astonishment came surprise.
Just now, Xu Jin had completed the 27th layer of the Nine-cornered Cloud Tower.
Five days of immersive arduous cultivation allowed Xu Jin to forge six layers of the Nine-cornered Cloud Tower in one go, with twenty-seven layers already forged within his body.
This level has already surpassed the highest known number of forged Cloud Towers that exist in the world.
National Master Cheng Yuexiao only forged twenty-five layers of the Cloud Tower; his teacher and the Hall Master of Lingji Star Hall could forge up to thirty layers under extreme conditions.
And Xu Jin was already close to surpassing the National Master, almost approaching the National Master’s teacher and the Hall Master of Lingji Star Hall.
Moreover, Xu Jin forged a Nine-cornered Cloud Tower.
According to the National Master, the Cloud Towers forged by him and his teacher were mostly Six-cornered Cloud Towers, with a small number of Seven-cornered and Eight-cornered Cloud Towers, only one layer.
The pinnacle existences in the world, such as Tianyang Star Lord and Cangming Star Lord, at the Sixth Tier, were approximately at this level, maybe even slightly worse.
However, the reason Xu Jin felt joy after his initial astonishment was not because he might surpass them.
It was because at the moment of completing the forging of the twenty-seventh layer of Cloud Tower, Xu Jin vaguely sensed what the National Master spoke of... the Heaven and Earth Bridge!
Originally, the Cloud Tower within his body and the Upper Star Palace were two distinct forces, two distinct worlds, operating independently.
The primordial spirit of the Upper Star Palace could at any time control and mobilize the star power of the Cloud Tower.
But the Cloud Tower couldn’t sense the Upper Star Palace, even though it was right there, and intentionally trying to sense it, it couldn’t be felt.
Like the distance between heaven and earth, separated by an insurmountable chasm.
But at the instant the twenty-seventh layer of the Cloud Tower was forged, Xu Jin’s Cloud Tower suddenly had a slight connection with the Upper Star Palace.
As if it were a bridge, or as if he could vaguely see it.
Very weak.
But indeed, as the National Master said, the Cloud Tower vaguely sensed the Upper Star Palace.
In introspection, Xu Jin suddenly had a feeling.
It seemed that his Cloud Tower was indeed somewhat closer to the Upper Star Palace.
This closeness was a feeling-based proximity.
"Does this mean it’s really possible to connect heaven and earth?"
"Then what exactly is this connection between heaven and earth?"
After pondering for a long time, Xu Jin gave a faint smile.
He decided to continue his cultivation, if after forging thirty-six layers of Cloud Tower, he truly can connect heaven and earth, then he will know after forging the thirty-sixth layer.
However, Xu Jin did not rush to continue his cultivation.
The consumption from five days of immersive arduous cultivation, coupled with prior consumption, had depleted all the Seventh-Order Purification Pearls obtained in the Limit Breaking Secret Realm.
He still had more than 240 Sixth Order Purification Pearls, equivalent to 24 Seventh-Order Purification Pearls, and they could be used for cultivation, although the efficiency was slightly lower than using Seventh-Order Purification Pearls.
If engaged in immersive arduous cultivation, he could barely forge a layer of the Nine-cornered Cloud Tower in a day.
But after reviewing the battle with Ju Zhang earlier, Xu Jin found himself to be more tactically shrewd.
Facing Ju Zhang head-on would still be quite arduous.
Even if he had forged six layers of the Nine-cornered Cloud Tower in one go and his cultivation level greatly increased, he still wasn’t confident in withstanding Ju Zhang’s full-scale attack if faced again.
And in the previous battle, the importance of the diversity of Star Skills was already evident.
Relying solely on Thunderbolt Slash made it hard to kill the enemy.
Pairing Thunderbolt Slash with Space Star Technique Void made killing the enemy somewhat easier.
But this was when facing ordinary Eighth Tier opponents; against Eighth Tier Peak, especially those faster than Xu Jin, or even when facing the Ninth Tier, the usable Star Skills were still quite singular.
Among the Wood Element Star Skills used previously, Green Shadow Thousand Flames was quite practical.
It could kill enemies or restrict them.
Currently, there were still two Divine Dao True Intents remaining, with one kept for the National Master, and Xu Jin thought it best to convert the other into strength sooner.
Then which star pattern should this Divine Dao True Intent be used to deduce?
Unfortunately, the Divine Dao True Intents were not enough; otherwise, Xu Jin would be keen to deduce all the star patterns like Clearing Soul Star Pattern, Mingji Star Pattern, Great Gathering Star Pattern, Warm Dream, Breaking Evil, etc., to the Ninth Tier.
If these star patterns were deduced to the Ninth Tier, Xu Jin believed that even if his Star Power Cultivation didn’t improve, he could still preserve his life when facing Ju Zhang.
But at this moment, only one Divine Dao True Intent was available.
After pondering for a while, Xu Jin fixed his Divine Thought on the Law Stars of the Candou Platform.
The extent to which Divine Dao True Intent could be utilized greatly depended on the strength of the Law Stars on the Candou Platform.
Strong Law Stars meant a higher utility of Divine Dao True Intent; weak Law Stars meant a lower utility. If the choice was poor, one Divine Dao True Intent might not even comprehend a single Ninth-Tier Star Pattern.
With just a glance, the Wood Origin Star Pattern was excluded.
Because the Wood Element Law Stars on the Candou Platform were only at the Seventh Tier.
Ultimately, Xu Jin determined the range of deduction for the next star pattern between the Fire Series and Water Series.
Fire Element Law Stars were at Ninth Tier, Water Element Law Stars at Eighth Tier.
After much deliberation, Xu Jin chose to deduce the Water Element Law Stars.
