Chapter 1422: Chapter 570: Sudden Wealth
Eight Desolate Continent.
The King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, gazed at the distant Passage No. 17, waiting for a full hour, but no one from the opposite passage came to attack.
He was quite disappointed.
In the clouds behind him, Blood God Sect Hierarch Yu Shen and Baidou Divine Sect Hierarch Ji Qu were also somewhat disappointed.
Ju Zhang arrived the earliest. On his way, he discovered that his vanguard scouts were almost completely annihilated, leaving only a Seventh Tier surviving scout.
Just a few questions made Ju Zhang’s heart rise with a bad premonition.
This Seventh Tier Green Wing Clan scout said that a man skilled in Thunder Star Skills ambushed them. Everyone else died, and he barely escaped back.
Only after checking the Divine Soul did Ju Zhang confirm that the surviving scout was truthful.
Unfortunately, this scout claimed he didn’t see the man’s appearance and couldn’t clearly sense his cultivation level.
This was indeed the truth.
Before he could even face him, he was frozen, then captured alive.
Even so, although Ju Zhang suspected that the expert skilled in Thunder Star Skills who attacked his scouts was the heir of Seven Kills he had been pursuing, he was not certain.
However, since the expert liked ambushing, he set a trap with the Purple Wing Clan scout, hoping to lure the Thunder Star Skills expert over.
Unexpectedly, it was the Cangming Star Lord, also Ninth Tier, who got lured over.
The Eight Desolate Continent was Ju Zhang’s turf, with at least 40% of Heaven and Earth Authority enhancing his combat power greatly.
In a short period, he gained a massive advantage.
But this also startled the Cangming Star Lord into retreating.
For that, Ju Zhang deeply regretted.
He should have pretended to be weak.
By pretending weakness, he could lure the Cangming Star Lord to penetrate deeper, then erupt and cut off his retreat.
Dragging it just a few dozen breaths longer, Blood God Sect Hierarch Yu Shen would arrive.
At that time, they could slay a Ninth Tier.
If they could kill a Ninth Tier expert from the current Human Clan before the battle began, the advantage on the Eight Desolate Continent would be obvious.
Not to mention securing the battle situation early.
They had already gained a massive advantage in this battle.
At that time, with the apparent Ninth Tier power, the Eight Desolates Royal Court would hold a huge advantage, possibly without even using their backup plan.
But that Cangming Star Lord reacted extremely quickly, giving him no chance.
Later, as two Ninth Tiers and numerous Eighth Tiers arrived.
He continued to wait in ambush here.
He truly hoped all the Ninth Tier foes from the opposite side would charge in, even all three of them; he would not fear.
Firstly, the Eight Desolate Continent was his turf, and secondly, he could maximize the utility of his Supreme Treasure.
Unfortunately, they didn’t come!
So, this battle had to end here.
He was unwilling to lead two Ninth Tiers directly to the opposite Galaxy Battlefield to fight.
Because the Ninth Tiers of the current Human Clan had a clear home-field advantage on the Galaxy Battlefield.
And his home-field advantage would be lost.
Thus, this war, after making a detour, returned to the right track.
Next, as soon as the Star Domain Force Field stabilizes completely, when elites Sixth Tier and below can pass through, it would be the start of the war.
At that time, this place would turn into a bloody battlefield.
Amidst the steady advance of Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and even Seventh Tier elites, these Ninth Tiers would seek certain battle opportunities.
Searching for victory in certainty, rather than lingering at the dangerous edge.
This is the top privilege of those in leadership.
As for now, his concern lay elsewhere: whether the heir of Seven Kills had returned to the Galaxy Battlefield or not?
If not, that would be great.
If returned, that would drive him crazy.
Finally waited for a sure opportunity for encirclement and annihilation.
Can only wait two days to see.
In any case, the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, still dearly hoped the heir of Seven Kills was still on the Eight Desolate Continent.
*****
Xu Jin, while returning to Guard City No. 13 at the Eight Desolate frontline with Great Chen Commander Mao Yue, also realized one point.
He seemed to have missed the best opportunity to kill the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang.
Had Xu Jin realized the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, came first, if he could have quickly convinced the three Great Star Lords to turn back with the State Preceptor and numerous Eighth Tiers, including himself.
There was an eighty to ninety percent chance of catching and killing the forward-rushing King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang.
Sadly, this was only a thought, impossible to implement.
The three Great Star Lords would never believe in Xu Jin and go all in.
Guard City No. 11 to No. 15 are the cities built and defended by Great Chen, basically covering the frontline of Great Chen.
Guard City No. 13 serves as the temporary Battle Zone Commander Mansion of Great Chen.
Simultaneously, the branch of Great Chen Star-picking Tower stands here.
"The State Preceptor will come over after the meeting; I’ve arranged your lodging. Moreover, if you need anything, feel free to tell me.
If it’s feasible, it will be done," said Great Chen Commander Mao Yue, who was over seventy, yet still looked like a strong middle-aged man, despite some white hair at his temples.
"Not much. If possible, could Ning Yuchan, Kou Jing, Dong Zhao, Liu Qingzhu, Marquis Luoshui Song Shoujie be temporarily transferred to Guard City No. 13," Xu Jin said.
"Why gather them here?" Mao Yue was somewhat puzzled.
Xu Jin smiled without speaking. The true intention naturally couldn’t be revealed. If Marshal Mao didn’t support it, he would wait for the State Preceptor’s return.
Mao Yue paused, seeing Xu Jin say no more words, he nodded directly in agreement.
"No problem, I’ll arrange it at once. However, a few of them are engaged in military duties and need swapping arrangements, so it might take an hour or two for them to arrive." Mao Yue said.
"No problem."
Seeing Xu Jin nodding, the Great Chen Commander hesitated slightly. Seeing this, Xu Jin directly smiled, "Marshal Mao, speak freely. From today, I am one of your men."
"Xu Jin, were all those Eighth Tier really killed by you alone?" Mao Yue looked at Xu Jin and asked.
Even though no matter how you analyze it from ten thousand angles, those Eighth Tier could only possibly have been killed by Xu Jin, it’s impossible for anyone else to have done it.
Not even his own father could attribute such a great achievement to Xu Jin.
Truly doing so would only harm Xu Jin.
However, looking at Xu Jin in front of him with a cultivation level that was only at the Ninth Layer Peak of the Sixth Tier, Mao Yue felt a sense of unreality, hence the question.
"Marshal Mao, I did kill them all, but it wasn’t done in one go. It was accumulated through guerrilla warfare and successive killings over several months."
"Even the late period Eighth-Tier alien race?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, the Great Chen Commander Mao Yue let out a sigh of relief, "In that case, I am relieved! Then you can handle the Eighth Tier from every direction of the Star Hall yourself, and there’s no need for me or the State Preceptor to be on guard.
In the future, you only need to be wary of the three Ninth-Tier Star Lords.
Don’t give them the chance to strike secretly.
Your refusal of Wei Xu’s request was well done!"
Unexpectedly, it was for Xu Jin’s safety.
These battlefield commanders, whether it’s Lv Xiang from Dachu or Mao Yue from Dachen, give Xu Jin a very good impression.
"Thank you, Marshal Mao."
Mao Yue nodded and reached into his chest to take out a token imprinted with his aura, and handed it to Xu Jin.
"Your current identity is special, but your specific rank and rewards will take some time to come down.
This is a battle zone, and it is quite inconvenient without a military rank.
With this token, you are a military law inspecting officer of our Great Chen Battle Zone Commander Mansion, one rank higher than other officers in the army, which makes it easier for you to move around.
If you encounter anything that cannot be solved or face danger, you can contact me immediately, or use this token to trigger a warning, and anyone affiliated with Great Chen within a hundred miles will come to your aid." Mao Yue said.
"Thank you, Marshal Mao!"
Xu Jin thanked solemnly, clearly realizing that Mao Yue was genuinely concerned for his safety.
"If you feel tired, rest a bit earlier, the State Preceptor will want to see you when he returns." After speaking, Mao Yue quickly soared away.
Xu Jin took the token Mao Yue had given him, opened the door, and walked into the courtyard arranged for him in Guard City No. 13.
Not big, a courtyard with two entrances.
There were two young individuals at the Third Tier in the courtyard, who hurriedly kneeled upon seeing Xu Jin enter, "We salute the Military Lord."
After several breaths, Xu Jin understood.
It turned out that the courtyard Mao Yue arranged for him, although small, was built to the specifications only the ranks of Military Lord and Vice Military Lord can enjoy, given that it’s the front line.
Just like the rank of Chai Ce from the Mystic Tiger Army.
This treatment given was indeed generous.
After fifteen minutes, Xu Jin comfortably took a bath to wash off the dust from his body, and while the State Preceptor had not yet arrived, he began counting his gains.
From the battle at the Seventeenth Passage, Xu Jin gained twenty-one Eighth-Order Star Cores and one hundred Seventh-Order Star Cores.
Six pairs of wings, one pair being Eighth-Order.
He cleared all the valuable parts from the alien corpses, totaling seventy alien corpses, and piled them up in the courtyard like a small mountain.
Later, when the State Preceptor returns, he will hand them over for processing.
In the State Preceptor’s hands, these Seventh and Eighth-Tier alien bodies can still play a significant role.
Xu Jin, meanwhile, was organizing his harvest.
Especially inspecting the Sumeru Space of the Eighth-Order Silver Horn City Lord.
Previously, Xu Jin merely glanced and realized the wealth in this Sumeru Space was comparable to the Left Protector Fan Kai.
Of course, most should be public assets.
Upon a brief inspection, joy appeared in Xu Jin’s eyes!
Within the Silver Horn City Lord’s Sumeru Space were not many Eighth-Order Star Cores, only a little over sixty, far fewer than what Xu Jin held.
However, there were plenty of Seventh-Order Star Cores, totaling over 1200.
Besides, there were over 2000 Seventh-Order Star Jades.
In the next instant, Xu Jin’s gaze froze: Eighth-Order Star Jades!
It was Xu Jin’s first time seeing Eighth-Order Star Jades, its starlight pure and immaculate, appearing just like a fragmented star.
However, there were only three pieces!
Additionally, there were over seventy varieties of materials from Seventh-Tier aliens.
Thus, including Xu Jin’s previously held stock, the supplies Xu Jin possessed for redeeming Thousand Star Token points became abundant.
Currently, Xu Jin had accumulated a total of 271 Eighth-Tier Star Cores from previous kills, now directly increased to 336.
Most of which were from the early Eighth Tier.
Previously, Seventh-Order Star Cores totalled 920, with materials from Eighth-Tier aliens numbering eleven types.
Now aggregating, Seventh-Order Star Cores’ total reached 2180, with various Seventh-Tier material types amounting to ninety-three entries.
Among these, the materials Xu Jin harvested from Seventh-Tier aliens were not many, only over twenty.
Yet, the total count of Seventh-Order Star Jades exceeded the four thousand mark for the first time.
But what delighted Xu Jin most was the count of Seventh-Order Purification Pearls, which numbered seventy.
This harvest was substantial.
Just these seventy Seventh-Order Purification Pearls were enough for Xu Jin to build twenty layers of the Condensing Cloud Tower.
There were also remnants from what was gained from Fan Kai previously.
This gain, Xu Jin has one word: exhilarating!
Unfortunately, he didn’t find any Eighth-Order Purification Pearls.
Besides, there were three batches of Sixth-Tier spiritual medicines and fifteen Fifth-Tier spiritual medicines.
And other various types of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, all quite valuable.
Xu Jin now had only one thought, cultivation!
To convert all these cultivation materials into cultivation level in the shortest time!
By then, his cultivation and power would dramatically increase.
And possibly even achieve... connecting heaven and earth!
