Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1458: Chapter 585: Linking Earth and Heaven

The first Nine-tier Under Divine Soul Star Pattern is formed.

Xu Jin was already a bit impatient to try whether he could connect with the sky and earth.

Therefore, at the first moment when the Nine-tier Under Clear Soul Star Pattern just formed, Xu Jin immediately began to strengthen it.

In less than two hours, he strengthened the Clear Soul Star Pattern to the Ninth Layer.

Then, following the method of condensing the Cloud Tower, Xu Jin attempted to forge a layer of Cloud Tower using this strengthened Ninth Layer Clear Soul Star Pattern.

He immediately encountered difficulties.

The Star Power could not directly use the Divine Soul Star Pattern to forge the Cloud Tower.

However, Xu Jin quickly found a solution to this problem.

Just like strengthening the Divine Soul Star Pattern, it was necessary to simultaneously utilize Divine Soul Power and Star Power.

With the Divine Soul Star Pattern as the foundation, using Divine Soul Cultivation as the bones, and Star Power as the flesh, to forge this new layer of Cloud Tower.

After two hours, when a corner of this brand new Divine Soul Cloud Tower condensed and settled on the Cloud Tower, Xu Jin’s Upper Star Palace was suddenly pulled down a bit.

Just as Xu Jin thought the Upper Star Palace was going to shake drastically again, this layer of Divine Soul Cloud Tower began to slowly merge with Xu Jin’s Cloud Tower located in the Central and Lower Star Palace.

This layer of the Divine Soul Cloud Tower, which had only condensed a corner, completely transformed that Heaven and Earth Bridge into the Heaven and Earth Dao.

The Upper, Central, and Lower three Star Palaces showed a trend of merging into one.

Moreover, as Xu Jin continued to forge this new layer of Divine Soul Cloud Tower, this Heaven and Earth Dao was slowly expanding.

In an instant, Xu Jin realized that when this layer of Divine Soul Cloud Tower is completed, it would become the Heaven and Earth Bridge itself.

By then, Xu Jin’s Upper Star Palace, Central Star Palace, and Lower Star Palace would merge into one.

Even more astonishing is that even though this layer of Divine Soul Cloud Tower had only condensed a corner, the Star Power from Xu Jin’s other Cloud Towers already carried a faint aura of Divine Soul Power.

Xu Jin’s Primordial Spirit could barely manage to enter the Cloud Tower.

Achieving the initial stage of communion.

It’s just still somewhat sluggish.

More than half a day later, the thirty-ninth layer of the Nine-cornered Cloud Tower was completed.

Xu Jin’s Primordial Spirit could freely enter and exit the Cloud Tower.

An additional layer of protection was added to the shell that protects the Primordial Spirit.

Others’ Primordial Spirits are only protected by their physical bodies.

Whereas Xu Jin’s Primordial Spirit is first wrapped by the Cloud Tower, then protected by his physical body.

It’s easy to harm Xu Jin’s Primordial Spirit, but directly killing it would require destroying the Cloud Tower first, otherwise, there’s no way to kill Xu Jin’s Primordial Spirit.

Meanwhile, the probability of Xu Jin’s Primordial Spirit being severely injured with an extra layer of protection also became much lower.

Unless someone’s Divine Soul Cultivation far exceeds Xu Jin’s, it’s difficult to harm his Primordial Spirit.

The effects of various Divine Soul Secret Techniques on Xu Jin would also be significantly reduced.

The key is that Xu Jin feels that with a casual strike now, he could carry a wisp of Divine Soul attack.

This is one of the great benefits of connecting with the earth and sky.

As long as Xu Jin is willing, a casual strike means a double attack.

Moreover, Xu Jin believes that as the number of Divine Soul Cloud Towers he forges increases, the Divine Soul attack carried in a casual strike would also grow stronger.

The second great benefit of connecting with earth and sky is quite obvious.

For Xu Jin, originally he could only forge seventy-two layers of Cloud Tower, but now, he could forge one hundred and eight layers.

Seventy-two layers of Cloud Tower were already strong enough, but with one hundred and eight layers, Xu Jin feels he has cultivated the Sixth Tier to its utmost limit.

The third great benefit was only discovered by Xu Jin after completing the thirty-ninth layer of Cloud Tower.

Due to the connection with earth and sky, Divine Soul Power began to continuously integrate into the Cloud Tower, Xu Jin discovered under the dense plantings of Divine Soul Power, the strength of his Cloud Tower kept improving.

In more vivid terms, his Cloud Tower now seems to be constantly reinforced like a reinforced concrete building.

He somewhat believes what the State Preceptor said earlier: After connecting with sky and earth, his Cloud Tower might become the strongest Star Artifact.

It could be directly used to strike people.

These three benefits are merely Xu Jin’s immediate feelings from just starting to connect with the earth and sky.

More subsequent changes and benefits need to be discovered gradually.

Xu Jin instinctively feels the benefits of connecting with the sky and earth would only be greater.

Because it directly changes the internal power structure of a cultivator.

However, Xu Jin did not immediately continue forging another layer of Divine Soul Cloud Tower.

Instead, he began to forge the fortieth layer of Star Power Cloud Tower.

Based on previous experiences, the more thoroughly the Star Power and Divine Soul Power are blended, the stronger his Cloud Tower becomes.

Under these circumstances, a layer of Star Power Cloud Tower followed by a layer of Divine Soul Cloud Tower yields the best results.

Unfortunately, time flew by, and before Xu Jin could fully complete the fortieth layer of the Nine-cornered Cloud Tower, he received a Starlight Transmission from the State Preceptor.

Three days have passed, and Xu Jin’s prepared Starship was all set.

The Domain Masters in the conquered Sixth Tier Star Domain had also prepared everything as per Xu Jin’s orders.

They were just waiting for the King of Territory to successfully open the Seven Killings Star Domain at the Galaxy Battlefield.

*****

Five hundred miles south of Guard City No. 13, Xu Jin was urging the Seven Killings Palace, continuously invoking the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Seven Killings Star Domain, attempting to open the Seven Killings Star Domain Star Gate at the Galaxy Battlefield.

The reason he was attempting was that Xu Jin judged from one matter that the Seven Killings Star Domain Star Gate could be opened at the Galaxy Battlefield.

At the beginning when the Seven Killings Star Domain opened the Seven Killings Secret Realm trial, it opened several temporary star gates leading to the Seven Killings Star Domain.

Four of these temporary star gates began at the Galaxy Battlefield.

Many cultivators from the Galaxy Battlefield entered the Seven Killings Star Domain from there.

Such as Marquis Luoshui, Song Shoujie, at the time.

Since it could be opened back then, the Seven Killings Star Domain inherited by Xu Jin could also be opened.

Xu Jin even suspected the Seven Killings Star Domain could be opened above the Eight Desolate Continent.

Otherwise, how did the Golden Pillar Alien Race, such as Ju Xuan, who did not enter the Galaxy Battlefield, enter the Seven Killings Star Domain?

It must have been through a temporary star gate.

If there’s one indication, there’ll be two.

It can be opened.

However, Xu Jin estimates that due to the Great World Will of the Eight Desolate Continent and the Heaven and Earth Authority controlled by Ju Zhang, it’s likely that Xu Jin is unable to open the Seven Killings Star Domain Star Gate on the Eight Desolate Continent.

But the Galaxy Battlefield can.

However, compared to the instant speed with which the Seven Killings Star Domain was opened in the current world, the speed of opening and closing the temporary star gate of the Seven Killings Star Domain in the Galaxy Battlefield is much slower.

Sixty breaths!

Xu Jin exerted all his effort to activate the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Seven Killings Palace and the Seven Killings Star Domain, and after a full sixty breaths, he finally opened a temporary star gate.

Xu Jin also breathed a sigh of relief.

With the star gate of the Seven Killings Star Domain able to open in the Galaxy Battlefield, many things become easier.

[State Preceptor, the star gate of the Seven Killings Star Domain has been successfully opened.]

[Good, then I shall begin.]

Almost in the instant of receiving Xu Jin’s Starlight Transmission, State Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao immediately issued several prohibitive orders.

Order of Xiao Jin in Guard City No. 13.

Guard City No. 13 and the surrounding stationed troops enter a war state, no one is allowed to move without orders.

At the same time, Elder Peng, Song Shoujie, Dong Zhao, Kou Jing, Ning Yuchan, Liu Qingzhu, and others personally inspected the situation within 500 miles around Guard City No. 13.

At the same time, twenty Pill Dawn Guards stepped onto the large starships that had been prepared and activated the starships.

Several breaths later, within the Star-picking Tower of Guard City No. 30, Alien Races of Fifth and Sixth Tiers lined up to come out.

Moreover, these Alien Races were all dragging their families along.

The reason was simple, Xu Jin now needed these Alien Races themselves, rather than their Cultivation Level.

And these Alien Races were all obtained from the five Sixth Tier Star Domains Xu Jin had conquered.

Fifteen minutes later, the twenty fully loaded starships slowly took off, flying towards the star gate of the Seven Killings Star Domain opened 500 miles away.

One trip can at least transport ten thousand Alien Races.

Throughout the night, these starships continuously transported.

While Xu Jin was busy in the Seven Killings Star Domain.

*****

Currently, the Seven Killings Star Domain is already quite lively, during Xu Jin’s absence, many Alien Races at Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak had broken through to Seventh Tier.

Because of this, today upon returning, Xu Jin specifically gave Hou Yunzhang three-tenths of the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Seven Killings Star Domain, simultaneously helping him break through his Cultivation to Seventh Tier.

This was supposed to be a great thing.

However, seeing the large number of Alien Races continuously being transported into the Seven Killings Star Domain, Hou Yunzhang pulled at his hair in distress.

Just barely settled the previous fifteen thousand plus Seven Killings populace and now there’s more work to do.

And it’s heavy work!

Nearly ten thousand Alien Races, how can they be effectively settled?

"Rest assured, the State Preceptor arranged a team of one hundred advisors to help you manage and settle these Alien Races.

All you need to do is focus on two matters." Xu Jin instructed the disheartened Hou Yunzhang.

Upon hearing about the advisory team, Hou Yunzhang slightly relaxed, "Please instruct, my lord."

"The first task is to manage, control, and settle these Alien Races properly. Given your current condition, you’re invincible within the Seven Killings Star Domain.

Therefore, those who are disobedient, those who cause trouble among the Alien Races, kill them as necessary!"

"Rest assured, my lord, I absolutely have no problem with that." Hou Yunzhang promised.

"The second task, do you know why I give you three-tenths of the Heaven and Earth Authority? Why I provide you with lots of Spiritual Medicine to enhance your Divine Soul Cultivation?" Xu Jin suddenly asked.

"My lord wanted me to possess enough strength to subdue these Alien Races?" Hou Yunzhang questioned puzzledly.

"That’s merely the most basic reason."

Hou Yunzhang was confused, "Your subordinate is slow, please enlighten me, my lord."

Xu Jin pointed to his distant Divine Statue, "Miracles."

"With three-tenths of the Heaven and Earth Authority, you can create miracles by yourself, reinforcing the faith of these Alien Races.

This will be your most important task in the future.

No exceptions!"

In an instant, Hou Yunzhang nodded emphatically, "I am familiar with this and capable, please rest assured, my lord!

Absolutely can accomplish it."

"That’s good. As for everything else, you don’t need to worry, leave it to those advisors specializing in civil administration sent by the State Preceptor.

Having them worship the Divine each day is your first priority," Xu Jin declared.

Several breaths later, Xu Jin infused his thoughts into the white fragments of bone inside the Divine Statue, urging his Divine Thought, a golden light flew out of the Divine Statue, falling into Xu Jin’s brow.

Instantly, more than sixty Divine Dao Golden Pearls appeared within Xu Jin’s brow.

Counting the leftover ten or so Divine Dao Golden Pearls, Xu Jin possessed a total of seventy-five.

Fifteen thousand Seven Killings populace, on average, absorbing one Divine Dao Golden Pearl per day.

This quantity is still not enough.

Moreover, the Divine Dao Golden Pearls are not highly efficient for use.

Yet currently, these Divine Dao Golden Pearls are the strongest Divine Soul-related power Xu Jin has seen.

Even the Primordial Spirit of a Ninth Layer Blood God Sect Hierarch would be affected by it.

For now, Xu Jin uses them as his ultimate life-saving ace.

This massive requisition of ten thousand Alien Race civilians from the Sixth Tier Star Domains is to collect more Divine Dao Golden Pearls.

Unfortunately, the white fragments of bone capable of accumulating these Divine Dao Golden Pearls are only one piece for now.

Eleven thousand people encircling one Divine Statue, already insufficient for distribution.

Xu Jin urgently wanted to obtain a second piece of white bone, to establish a branch for his Divine Statue.

In the next moment, Xu Jin urged his Divine Thought and extracted the massive Divine Soul power collected within the white fragments of bone, a circle of Star Power, then crafted twelve Divine Soul Pearls.

Each equivalent to the drug efficacy of a Fifth Tier Spiritual Medicine, consuming them can directly enhance Divine Soul Cultivation.

Leaving two for Hou Yunzhang, the rest Xu Jin took away with him.

These are indeed the best for recovering Divine Soul Cultivation.

Before daylight, Xu Jin appeared beside State Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao in Guard City No. 13, inquiring directly, "State Preceptor, can the grain supply here continue?"

Unexpectedly, State Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao did not respond, rather he measuredly gazed towards the direction of the current world.

Softly speaking, "Have you felt it, those two have broken through to Ninth Tier."
