Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1475: Chapter 594: Trial Difficulty

"A world-shaking secret?"

As soon as Lin Mingshi said this, Xu Jin became interested in an instant, "Alright, go ahead, if it’s truly a valuable secret, how about I grant you a chance of resurrection through blood droplets?"

"No, you must swear a Great Dao Oath, guaranteeing that after you hear it, you will let me go, only then will I speak," Lin Mingshi hastily said.

"Mr. Lin, it seems you still haven’t recognized the situation!

Great Dao Oath? This secret, say it or not, it’s up to you!" Xu Jin turned and prepared to end things quickly here, conveniently sweeping through a few Seventh Tier Star Domains, and finally to explore the Great Wilderness Domain, to see what the situation with the former Grand Marshal Cai Shu was.

As for the secret Lin Mingshi mentioned, Xu Jin had already guessed it.

At most, it was just the true identity of the Blood God Sect Hierarch.

Is it important?

Important!

Is it useful?

Not at all!

The Blood God Sect Hierarch had already set foot on the Eight Desolate Continent, with cultivation already breaking through to the Ninth Tier.

What difference does knowing the identity make?

If Xu Jin wishes, he could battle the Blood God Sect Hierarch, and perhaps find identity clues during such a confrontation.

For such a secret, he had no interest in swearing a Great Dao Oath.

Seeing Xu Jin was about to leave, Lin Mingshi became really anxious.

There was one thing he was very clear about: to this person in front of him, whether he lives or dies actually doesn’t matter.

But if he fell into the hands of the actual Human Clan, it would be pure hell.

The methods of torture were the pinnacle of mastery.

This Right Protector of the Blood God Sect was, to those ordinary human officials, merits, achievements, and reputation, a future path.

Without hesitation, Lin Mingshi shouted loudly, "I’ll talk! I’ll talk! You can just make it quick on me."

Xu Jin turned back, smirking.

Since Mr. Lin was speaking this way, he might as well listen.

"Hmm, go ahead."

Hearing this, Lin Mingshi’s Adam’s apple bobbed. Since he had gotten to this point, some secrets could be spoken out.

"The world-shaking secret I speak of concerns your world’s top existence, who is the Vice Sect Hierarch of our Blood God Sect....."

"Is it the Dahong Emperor?"

Xu Jin waved his hand to stop, "If it’s such a secret, there’s no need to say it, I’ve known for a long time."

"You’ve known for a long time?" Lin Mingshi was dumbfounded.

"If you’re just wasting my time..."

Xu Jin only glanced at Lin Mingshi, then the latter hurriedly said, "There’s more, more!"

"Among your world’s humans, there’s another high-ranking official who’s also a high-level figure in our Blood God Sect, this secret is almost unknown.

Our Blood God Sect has two Vice Sect Hierarchs, one is the Dahong Emperor you just mentioned, the other one is in the Galaxy..."

"Is it Wei Xu?"

Lin Mingshi’s eyes widened again, looking at Xu Jin with incredulity.

Compared to the identity of the Dahong Emperor, Wei Xu’s identity was the top secret among secrets, known only to the Hierarch and Right and Left Protectors, not even the Vice Sect Hierarch Dahong Emperor knew.

"I was the one who killed Wei Xu.

So this is your so-called secret?"

While Xu Jin sneered at Lin Mingshi, he had already stood up, unwilling to waste time further.

Lin Mingshi was stupefied.

Why did he feel like the person before him seemed like the nemesis of the Blood God Sect?

However, his survival instinct did not allow Lin Mingshi to miss this unique chance for a quick end and hurriedly said, "I really don’t know what kind of secret you find valuable.

How about this, you ask, and I answer.

If the content is useful to you, could you just make it quick for me?" Lin Mingshi implored in a low voice.

Xu Jin, upon hearing this, eyes sparkled—this seemed feasible.

Involving high-level secrets like Lin Mingshi, Xu Jin dared not use a Warm Dream Interrogation directly. If a Divine Soul-Sealed piece of information was encountered during interrogation and the person found relief in death, that wouldn’t be ideal.

"Alright then, first question, do you know the real identity of the Blood God Sect Hierarch?" Xu Jin asked.

Hearing this, Lin Mingshi slowly shook his head, "The Hierarch never reveals his true form, even when meeting us, he is shrouded in a bloody light, identity unknown."

Seeing Xu Jin’s disappointment, Lin Mingshi hurriedly added, "But there is a clue."

"Go on."

"When I was at the Seventh Tier, the Hierarch was already at the Eighth Tier and couldn’t enter the Seventh Tier Star Domain. The Hierarch once had me help a group quickly control a Seventh Tier Star Domain. That group seemed like one big family, with old and young, men and women, presumably having a close relation to the Hierarch.

That family, the men had the surname Cai." Lin Mingshi said.

Xu Jin’s eyes flickered, "Was there an elder named Cai Shu?"

"No, no man over forty, but they all had the surname Cai."

This made Xu Jin’s eyes flicker, this seemed like a gain.

Closely related to the Blood God Sect Hierarch with the surname Cai?

It seemed likely Cai Shu was closely related to the Blood God Sect, but it wasn’t much evidence.

"Is there a Star Domain Mark?" Xu Jin asked.

"Yes! I kept a private copy."

"Give it to me."

Speaking, Lin Mingshi took out a Star Domain Mark and handed it to Xu Jin.

After making a note, Xu Jin accepted it—it might come in handy.

"Do you know anything about the Baidou Divine Sect?" Xu Jin continued to ask.

Hearing this, Lin Mingshi shook his head, "I’ve had no contact, but the Hierarch and the Baidou Divine Sect seem to have close ties."

This didn’t seem valuable, and suddenly, Xu Jin thought of the Thousand Star Token.

"Right, how much do you know about the Thousand Star Token? Also, what rank is your Sect Hierarch’s Thousand Star Token?" Xu Jin asked.

The Blood God Sect had possessed the Thousand Star Token for a long time and should know more about it.

"The Sect Hierarch’s Thousand Star Token is Fourth Tier." Lin Mingshi definitively said.

"Fourth Tier?"

Xu Jin was astonished; this was a completely unexpected answer.

From what he knew, upgrading the Thousand Star Token from the Second Tier to the Third Tier required a staggering ten thousand points.

Even if the Blood God Sect Hierarch had multiple Star Domains to plunder, the gains surely didn’t surpass Xu Jin’s from slaying large numbers of Seventh and Eighth Tier Alien Race.

Ten thousand points, estimated to take several years to accumulate.

According to Xu Jin’s previous speculation, the Blood God Sect Hierarch can only upgrade the Thousand Star Token to Third Tier at most, absolutely not Fourth Tier.

Given the current upgrade pattern, upgrading from Third Tier to Fourth Tier most likely requires a hundred thousand points.

A hundred thousand points, even if they sell all those Star Domain resources controlled by the Blood God Sect, probably wouldn’t be enough.

"Are you sure?"

"The Hierarch said it himself! And he also mentioned that he can exchange many treasures at a sixty percent discount, which is much more advantageous than us, so he wants us to give him our accumulated exchange supplies for him to accumulate, to save a little more," Lin Shiming said.

Sixty percent discount!

This piece of information matches.

It shows that Lin Shiming is not lying.

This made Xu Jin furrow his brows in contemplation; theoretically impossible events, achieved by the Blood God Sect Hierarch, could it mean there are more undiscovered secrets within the Blood God Sect?

"What else did your Hierarch tell you about the Thousand Star Token?"

"Didn’t say much, but there is one thing the Hierarch specifically instructed."

"What thing?"

"The Hierarch said, the trial opportunity within the Thousand Star Token must be participated in, even if you only pass one stage, the benefits are significant," Lin Mingshi said.

"How many stages have you passed?"

"Over the years, I’ve encountered the trial three times, each time failing to pass the first stage," Lin Mingshi said.

"Tell me about the content of the trial."

"The first time, I didn’t even know how I died, just failed," Lin Mingshi said awkwardly. "The second time I lasted one breath, the third time I participated with Eighth Tier Late Period cultivation and was eliminated after five breaths."

Moreover, the content of each trial seems to be different."

"I see..."

Xu Jin was pondering.

Lin Mingshi was only Eighth Tier Late Period, and yet in the trial, he could only last five breaths.

This indicates that the difficulty of this trial is very high.

And, something the Blood God Sect Hierarch repeatedly instructed must be quite beneficial.

Perhaps the secret to the Blood God Sect Hierarch’s ascension is hidden here.

Perhaps there are other gains too.

When there’s time, it’s worth trying.

Yet Lin Mingshi was looking nervously at Xu Jin, "Um... I’ve told you everything I know, could you give me a quick..."

Bang!

Xu Jin merely flicked his finger, Lin Mingshi’s head exploded with a bang; since he hadn’t condensed a Primordial Spirit, his Divine Soul instantly dispersed, dying completely.

Simultaneously, Xu Jin unfurled the Mingji Star Pattern, and within half a breath, pulled Lin Mingshi’s Sumeru Space out.

Just a glance, Xu Jin lost interest quickly.

This guy, being defeated by him three times, for restoring cultivation, consumed a substantial amount of cultivation materials, leaving little of value; yet Fourth and Fifth Tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and quite a number of Fourth and Fifth Tier Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pills still remained.

However, there were also six hundred Seventh Tier Star Cores, over a thousand Seventh Tier Star Jade, and some materials from the Alien Race, likely what Lin Mingshi used to exchange for Thousand Star Token points.

In addition, another Star Domain Mark of a Seventh Tier Star Domain, was considered a worthy find within his Sumeru Space.

After taking possession of this Seventh Tier Star Domain, Xu Jin wasted no time in sweeping another Seventh Tier Star Domain.

*****

In a certain Sixth Tier Star Domain, in a secluded cave in the mountains, a point of bloodlight slowly blossomed and gathered. At the moment of its manifestation, this point of bloodlight took out the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pill prepared in a Jade Box nearby, immediately urging its drug efficacy to restore the physical body.

It was the freshly reborn Right Protector Lin Mingshi.

After little more than an hour, Right Protector Lin Mingshi successfully reborn, with a humanoid figure like a blood monkey, the bloodlight slowly converging.

Lin Mingshi checked his state inwardly, his face full of bitterness.

His cultivation level dropped again.

His cultivation level was only Fifth Tier Ninth Layer, and his Divine Soul Cultivation even lower, at Third Tier Sixth Layer.

Can’t afford to die again.

With Divine Soul Cultivation dropping two tiers, the Divine Soul is unstable, becoming muddled.

Luckily, this Star Domain is controlled by the Blood God Sect. First, using treasures from the Sumeru Space to restore cultivation to Sixth Tier Early, then make contact with manpower, using the resources of this Star Domain to rapidly recover.

In an instant, Lin Mingshi’s expression suddenly froze.

Couldn’t sense it anymore!

He couldn’t sense his Sumeru Space anymore!

"Damn it!"

"I knew it!"

Lin Mingshi had a vicious and furious look.

Without the cultivation resources in the Sumeru Space, what should he do?

He couldn’t even contact the Hierarch for help anymore.

After a while, Lin Mingshi regained his composure.

He still had one path: this Star Domain, controlled by the Blood God Sect, as long as he goes out and reveals his identity, he should be able to contact the Hierarch.

He still had hope of recovery.

However, for the time being, he must hide in this Star Domain.

Restoring Star Power Cultivation, Divine Soul Cultivation must reach Fifth Tier.

Boom!

In the midst of contemplation, a ray of starlight suddenly blasted in from the mountain, before Lin Mingshi could react, a Seventh Tier Early human from the current realm, leading a group of Sixth Tier, broke into the cave entrance.

Lin Mingshi was taken aback at the instant, the bloodlight on his body not yet fully shed.

This Domain Master of Seventh Tier Early from the current realm human race was indeed knowledgeable.

At a glance at the remaining Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pills nearby, he was overjoyed, "Blood God Sect remnant!

Hahaha, achieving Great Merit!"

A few breaths later, the once infamous Blood God Sect Right Protector Lin Mingshi was tied up and bound, naked and hog-tied, captured alive!

Yet he didn’t dare die again now!

With Divine Soul Cultivation so low, at Third Tier, dying again could mean failure in resurrection, or if barely succeeding, possibly becoming a fool.

Hog-tied and carried, Lin Mingshi looked up at the sky, his face full of bitterness.

Was that person the nemesis of the Blood God Sect?

Why was he so unfortunate!

In just a few months, from high above at Eighth Tier Peak, fallen to this state...
