Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1447: Chapter 580: Liu Xia Fei Guang (2)

"It would be best to promote someone locally from the Mystic Tiger Army."

"How about Yuchan?" Xu Jin suggested.

"Very well, Ning Yuchan it is." Cheng Yuxiao nodded.

Chai Ce, caught by surprise, then laughed, "Not bad, this young woman is good. More valiant than I am, decisive in slaughter, skilled in leading troops, with outstanding war merits, and high prestige within the army.

With her taking over the Mystic Tiger Army, it would not be wasted, and I would have no worries."

A few breaths later, Ning Yuchan was promoted locally to deputy military lord of the Mystic Tiger Army, commanding all military affairs, and the military order was disseminated throughout the army under Chai Ce’s directive.

In less than an hour, Commander Mao Yue sent urgent information. With Chai Ce’s military order in coordination, he and Ning Yuchan had already taken over the Mystic Tiger Army without a hitch, and local reorganization had started.

In this half hour, Xu Jin and State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao asked all the questions they could.

Chai Ce was exceedingly candid and transparent.

Chai Ce’s identity was also revealed.

A Hidden True Monarch of the Baidou Divine Sect.

He had connections with the Four Phases True Man of Baidou Divine Sect and had contact with the sect hierarch, but they weren’t close and hadn’t met.

"Chai Ce, do you know the true identity of the Baidou Divine Sect hierarch?" Cheng Yuxiao asked.

"I don’t know."

After speaking, Chai Ce pondered for several breaths, "A few years ago, when he asked me to help transport a large number of Baidou Divine Sect followers to a certain Star Domain, he personally contacted me. I feel like I know nothing about him, yet he is very familiar with me."

"Very familiar? What do you mean? Does he know your information?"

"No!

Not that kind of familiarity.

I feel like he has seen me."

"Seen you?" Cheng Yuxiao was astonished, "Are you saying he also has an identity in the mortal world?"

"I’m not sure, but since I contacted him ten years ago, he should have always been in a certain Star Domain, yet he seems very familiar with me. He even knows my preferences and cultivation situation when I was in the Imperial City of Wanyi," Chai Ce replied.

Cheng Yuxiao was astonished, "Your situation in the Imperial City of Wanyi, how many years ago was that?"

"State Preceptor, I’ve been in charge of the Mystic Tiger Army for seventeen years and have been on the Galaxy Battlefield for twenty-five years." Chai Ce recalled.

"Someone who knew you twenty-five years ago?" Cheng Yuxiao frowned, this scope is too broad.

"Are there any other clues?"

"Let me think."

"Every year, they transported a large amount of supplies through me to the Star Domain, one of which has been present every year for the past ten years."

"What is it?"

"Flowing Dawn Light."

At this, Cheng Yuxiao showed a look of surprise, while Xu Jin was utterly confused as he had no idea what this was.

"It seems the State Preceptor already knows, if there’s nothing more to ask, how about sending me on my way?" Chai Ce chuckled.

State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao mused, "Chai Ce, if you’re willing, with your late-stage Primordial Spirit cultivation level, I can find an Eighth Tier body for you, allowing you to be reborn.

However, you would need to accept Divine Soul control and serve my Dachen on the frontline."

Due to frequent dealings with the Baidou Divine Sect, Chai Ce’s Divine Soul cultivation was impressively strong, even stronger than State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao’s.

Late stage Primordial Spirit.

Xu Jin instantly understood State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao’s intention.

This was to let Chai Ce be reborn in a borrowed body, allowing Dachen to gain another Eighth Tier fighter.

At this, Chai Ce smiled and shook his head, refusing.

"Why?"

"State Preceptor, after witnessing the ultimate scenery of this world, you want to cast me back into the mire, without any hope. I am unwilling.

Let’s get it over with," Chai Ce laughed.

A few breaths later, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao sidestepped, nodding at Xu Jin.

In just a thought, the Erosion Locking God erupted instantly, and Chai Ce’s Primordial Spirit crumbled into dust.

The breeze brushed by, leaving no trace.

.....

A few breaths later, Xu Jin couldn’t help but ask, "State Preceptor, what exactly is Flowing Dawn Light?"

Cheng Yuxiao glanced at Xu Jin, as if reminiscing, "Have you heard of Flowing Dawn Drunk, the finest wine of the Great Chen Wan County?"

"I’ve heard of it."

"But the Flowing Dawn Drunk on the market is not the best. The best is exclusively supplied to the Imperial Palace, known as Flowing Dawn Light."

"State Preceptor, are you implying that the true identity of the Baidou Divine Sect hierarch is connected to the Dachen imperial family?"

At this, Cheng Yuxiao slowly shook his head, "The Dachen imperial family no longer has such a person.

However, back in the day, my teacher loved to drink Flowing Dawn Light. I often carried his token, whether to the palace or to Liu Xia Winery, to fetch Flowing Dawn Light for my teacher to drink."

Xu Jin was surprised, and looked steadily at State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao, "Does the State Preceptor suspect the former State Preceptor is the current Baidou Divine Sect hierarch?"

"No."

Cheng Yuxiao shook his head again, "My teacher succumbed to his injuries and passed away right before my eyes."

"Isn’t this then useless?"

"It’s useful."

"Back then, my teacher had a drinking friend who also adored Flowing Dawn Light, only ever drinking Flowing Dawn Light. Each time my teacher drank, they drank together."

"Who?"

"The Hall Master of Lingji Star Hall, Sima Qu!"

Xu Jin was stunned.

Countless questions surfaced in Xu Jin’s mind. The true identity of the Baidou Divine Sect hierarch seemed about to be revealed.

Because Baidou Divine Sect excelled at collecting Divine Soul power, and Lingji Star Hall was also adept at Divine Soul Secret Techniques, they complemented each other perfectly.

The timeline also matched.

The possibility was extremely high.

But Lingji Star Hall was annihilated twenty years ago, sealed within its own unique small world and unable to come out.

Is the Baidou Divine Sect hierarch someone else?

Or has the Hall Master of Lingji Star Hall, Sima Qu, already emerged?

Moreover, if the Baidou Divine Sect hierarch truly is Sima Qu of Lingji Star Hall, how strong must Sima Qu be?

The Baidou Divine Sect had accumulated vast and pure Divine Soul power, and Lingji Star Hall had the Clearing Soul Star Pattern, not to mention a secret method for transitioning from Fifth Tier Primordial Spirit to Sixth Tier.

This...

*****

Compared to Chai Ce’s straightforwardness, Wei Xu, backed by the Blood Dripping Divine Pattern, was incredibly obstinate.

Just released his Primordial Spirit from the Sumeru Space, he began cursing vehemently.

Various foul words spewed forth rapidly, even causing State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao to frown.

Of course, Cheng Yuxiao understood his purpose.

Simply seeking a quick death.

But that wouldn’t be granted.

In a situation with no alternatives, only Warm Dream Interrogation could be employed.

However, during the Warm Dream Interrogation, there was always a risk of triggering certain Divine Soul seals, causing his Primordial Spirit to collapse directly.

Xu Jin also shared his prior speculation with State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

"You promised him a swift death, yet he’d rather endure torture than voluntarily hand over the Sumeru Space?

Does the Sumeru Space contain a great treasure?"

At this, Cheng Yuxiao considered for a few breaths before responding, "How about we coordinate a little. The Sumeru Space must constantly be linked to the aura of Divine Soul Origin, otherwise, it would become an ownerless thing.

His Blood Dripping Divine Pattern revival, from death to rebirth, would take at least a few breaths.

If we act swiftly, we should be able to pull his Sumeru Space out."

"Alright."

"Then you’ll do the pulling. Your Divine Soul cultivation surpasses mine, and you have more experience in this field. I’ll handle the interrogation; the moment any anomaly occurs, you should immediately pull it," Cheng Yuxiao suggested.

Xu Jin broke a sweat at these words, thinking what experience he was talking about, as if he specialized in raiding others’ Sumeru Spaces.

"I’m starting now."

The next instant, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao activated the Warm Dream, beginning the dream interrogation of Wei Xu.

Xu Jin fully activated the Mingji Star Pattern, sensing any unusual changes within kilometer radius. The moment a Sumeru Space imprint appears, he could respond immediately and pull it out.

Sixty breaths later, during the interrogation, Wei Xu’s Primordial Spirit suddenly showed a strange smile of relief, simultaneously starting to disintegrate.

At the same instant, Xu Jin, noticing the anomaly, fully activated his Primordial Spirit Divine Thought.

In just a moment, he sensed a Sumeru Space imprint emerging.

He pulled with full force immediately.

Half a breath later, Wei Xu’s Sumeru Space imprint was successfully extracted.

Xu Jin felt relieved.

At the same time, Xu Jin projected his Divine Thought into the just-extracted Sumeru Space of Wei Xu.

The moment he entered, Xu Jin’s eyes widened suddenly.

A treasure trove!

Sure enough, Wei Xu’s Sumeru Space contained treasures!

The kind of treasures that are worth a fortune!
