Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1435: Chapter 576: Enfeoffment as Prince and Purging Traitors

"You’ve arrived at just the right time. Now that you’re here, take this reward yourself. Previously, I was worried it would disrupt your cultivation, so I planned to deliver it to you in a day or two."

At the Commander Mansion of Guard City No. 13, Cheng Yuxiao, Great Chen Commander Marshal Mao, and Vice Marshal Tang Tao were discussing matters inside the mansion. Upon seeing Xu Jin’s arrival, all three, including the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao, stood up to welcome him.

This made Xu Jin slightly flustered. These figures were not only seniors but also elders to him.

After a few moments, everyone was seated again. The State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao handed an imperial edict to Xu Jin.

"This is the front line; there’s no need for excessive formalities. You should first accept the rewards. As for the Prince coronation ceremony, it will be arranged for you after the war concludes and we return to the present world."

"Prince?"

"You’ll understand once you look at it."

In an instant, Xu Jin opened the edict, and the most striking thing was the term ’King of Territory’.

He was directly conferred the title of Prince.

This was the reward from Dachen for his military achievements.

To be honest, at the moment he saw the edict conferring him the title of Prince, Xu Jin only felt a slight warmth in his eyes and a mild stir in his heart, as if it were a matter of course.

Recalling when he first set out in the Star Pointing, the Lord-lieutenant Mansion of Lu Xianbing’s family seemed unattainable to Xu Jin.

Now, becoming a Prince had become commonplace.

"This prince’s conferment encompasses both your past military achievements and the current ones. It’s just that some things are still difficult to announce in an edict.

Moreover, you can review the tangible rewards, and you can add two items yourself. If there’s anything you dislike or want to replace, you can have it altered now," said the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

"State Preceptor, can I really request the rewards myself? Can I replace them?" Xu Jin asked with a smile.

"Of course, you can! Based on your combat power, you’re counted as the strongest Eighth Tier at present. Such great power belongs to you, and you’ve made countless contributions to Dachen; it’s quite normal for you to have some preferences.

During the reward discussion, His Majesty even suggested sending the Eldest Princess, who is known for her beauty, to serve you. I told him you would not wish for that, so I declined it on your behalf," said Cheng Yuxiao.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin was taken aback.

Indeed, in this world, once you possess strength, everything seems to come to you.

There were many rewards: the whole Jinshan County in the present world was directly designated as the fiefdom of Xu Jin, the King of Territory.

A set of Seven-Star Mid-tier Spiritual Armor.

Five ordinary Fifth Tier Spiritual Medicine and three Fifth Order Divine Soul Spiritual Medicine.

The previous Fourth Tier Star Domain that Xu Jin had swept clean was directly conferred with two Star Domains for Xu Jin’s support. Xu Jin could manage them himself or receive financial allocations from Dachen annually.

Additionally, Xu Jin’s father was conferred as Golden Mountain Marquis, and his mother was posthumously honored as a First-Rank Lady.

These were the relatively tangible rewards.

Other items, such as five Sixth Tier Star Artifacts and twenty Fifth Tier Star Artifacts, were not of much use to Xu Jin.

Among them, Xu Jin was surprised by that set of Seven-Star Mid-tier Spiritual Armor.

When the Sumeru Space of the Qian’an Emperor was taken by Xu Jin, he thought he had already scavenged most of the palace treasures.

Unexpectedly, there was still a Seven-Star Mid-tier Spiritual Armor.

It seemed the foundation of the Imperial Family was far deeper than he had imagined.

"Whenever you decide what you want, just let me know," said State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

"State Preceptor, are there any Star Cores?" Xu Jin asked.

"There are plenty of them. Most Star Cores are of little use, only a few are used for Array Star Power supply. What tier do you need?" asked State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

"Seventh and Eighth Tier Star Cores; the more, the better," Xu Jin replied.

"No problem. There aren’t many Eighth Tier ones; I remember the National Treasury and Imperial Palace Treasure House only have one or two hundred. But there should be a good number of Seventh Tier ones. I’ll communicate with the present world later and have them delivered at top speed.

This is one item. What is the other thing you want?" Cheng Yuxiao asked.

"Is there an abundance of Seventh or Eighth Tier Star Jade, or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from Seventh or Eighth Tier Alien Races?" Xu Jin asked.

Upon hearing this, the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao shook his head, "There really aren’t many. The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Tier Alien Races have already been refined into simple but very powerful Star Artifacts and distributed.

There are less than a hundred pieces of Seventh Tier Star Jade available, and not more than ten pieces of Eighth Tier. Most of the previous ones have been distributed to enhance cultivation levels," said State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

"Then I will hold onto this reward for the time being," Xu Jin said.

"Alright, I will also have the present world keep an eye out and accumulate the supplies you need," said Cheng Yuxiao.

"Thank you, State Preceptor."

"King of Territory..."

Beside them, Great Chen Commander Mao Yue spoke, startling Xu Jin, who quickly replied with a wry smile, "Marshal Mao, it’s better to just call me Xu Jin; the title of Prince sounds... quite unfamiliar to me."

Unexpectedly, Mao Yue looked serious, "You need to get used to it!

By using the title of Prince to address you, we are showing you respect, but more importantly, we are proclaiming your achievements and setting a standard for the soldiers of Great Chen and for the entire Human Clan in the present world.

As long as you achieve merit, there will be rewards.

Sufficient merits can lead to being conferred as a Prince!

Our Human Clan has never treated heroes unfairly!"

"I have learned," Xu Jin said with hands clasped in salute.

"King of Territory, please take a seat. King of Territory, you have seen the imperial edict. It not only confers you as a Prince but also allows you to open a mansion and establish an office. It permits you to rebuild an army of fifty thousand on the Galaxy Battlefield. The military supplies will be provided at the Five Lion Army standard.

This matter can be added to the agenda. At that time, whether it’s the present world or the Galaxy Battlefield, they will fully cooperate with you," Mao Yue said.
