Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1496: Chapter 605: New Discoveries on the Candou Platform

Seven Killings Star Domain.

Xu Jin is researching something he considers extremely important.

Opening the Star Gate from the Galaxy Battlefield to enter the Seven Killings Star Domain, and then opening another Star Gate from the Seven Killings Star Domain to enter the present world.

This process is akin to using the Seven Killings Star Domain as a bridge between the Galaxy Battlefield and the present world, with highly flexible starting points.

Once successful, its significance is extraordinary.

Even a Ninth-Tier expert, flying at full speed regardless of cost, must first pass through successive transfers to reach Galaxy City and then fly back to Galaxy Pass before returning to the present world.

This journey takes at least half a day, provided the Star-picking Tower’s transfer is intact.

Should the transfer system at Star-picking Tower be damaged, this time would extend to over a day and a half.

As for cultivators below the Ninth and Eighth Tiers, returning to the present world takes at least a day and a half.

If this bridge of the Seven Killings Star Domain is established, a large number of elites can return from the Galaxy Battlefield to the present world in a very short time, or support the Galaxy Battlefield from the present world.

Whether internally or externally, its significance is tremendous.

At this moment, Xu Jin just opened the Star Gate outside the No. 13 Guard City of the Galaxy Battlefield to return to the Seven Killings Star Domain.

Five hundred miles away from this Star Gate, Xu Jin activated the Seven Killings Palace to open a Star Gate directly to the present world.

With just a slight attempt, Xu Jin felt a sense of nihility: No.

Moving further, a thousand miles away, still no.

Two thousand miles away, still no.

Five thousand miles, still no.

Ten thousand miles away, still no.

With a frown, Xu Jin directly leaped another five thousand miles, attempting to open a Star Gate fifteen thousand miles away, but still couldn’t.

Fifteen minutes later, looking at the Star Gate he just opened, Xu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Success.

But the distance is much farther than Xu Jin imagined.

The distance between the two Star Gates reached as much as thirty-six thousand miles.

Basically, if the Star Gate connecting the Galaxy Battlefield opens in the east, then the Star Gate connecting the present world opens thirty-six thousand miles away in a straight line to the west.

This distance seems long, but for the flight speed of Ninth and Eighth-Tier experts, it’s still very short.

From entering the Seven Killings Star Domain to leaving it and arriving in the present world, it takes just over an hour, exactly an hour.

As for Xu Jin, this distance is equivalent to nothing.

The key is that it means something completely different for elites below the Eighth Tier.

Below the Eighth Tier, they can all be transported by Starship.

Theoretically, it takes at most two hours to transfer from the Galaxy Battlefield to the present world.

With queuing time considered, it amounts to at most four hours.

This is Xu Jin’s last insurance safeguard for Dachen and the present world in extreme situations.

He is completely at ease now.

Of course, Xu Jin won’t let the major Star Halls know this secret too early.

So, for now, Xu Jin isn’t in a hurry to return to the present world through the Star Gate.

There are countless spies from all sides in the present world, so Xu Jin intends to return at a normal speed.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of this time, Xu Jin plans to solve his own cultivation resources issues within the Seven Killings Star Domain.

This time, factoring in intelligence bought from various parties, Xu Jin received a total of twenty-nine Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicines for his cultivation level improvement, which also came from the State Preceptor.

In addition, during his previous sweeps of the Seventh and Sixth-Tier Star Domains, he obtained a total of twenty-two Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicines, plus some scattered loot, making a total of forty-five Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicines in Xu Jin’s possession.

Though forty-five Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicines seem like a lot for cultivation level improvement, they are equivalent to only forty-five Seventh-Order Purification Pearls.

Theoretically, these are just enough for Xu Jin to forge six to seven layers of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

Including nearly a hundred Sixth-rank Spiritual Medicines in his hand, they can forge up to eight layers of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower at most.

From Xu Jin’s estimation, his Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower’s limit should be one hundred and eight layers.

Because Xu Jin’s Star Core consists of one hundred and eight cores across the upper, middle, and lower Three Star Palaces.

These cultivation resources are far from enough to push Xu Jin’s cultivation level to the extreme and then break through to the Seventh Tier.

As for going to the Eight Desolate Continent to snatch more, Xu Jin feels like it’s playing with fire, the risk is too high.

All three forces on the Eight Desolate Continent have been deeply offended by Xu Jin.

Once Xu Jin shows up, they’ll likely join forces for a worldwide hunt against him.

If he goes for another round of looting, Xu Jin would not just be bold, but foolish.

However, Xu Jin does not want to slow down his cultivation pace.

Xu Jin wants to break through to the Seventh Tier as soon as possible.

As a final resort, he turned his attention to these Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicines and the Candou Platform.

The refining function of the Candou Platform theoretically could refine Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicines into Ninth-rank ones.

Before this, Xu Jin had only refined Sixth-rank Spiritual Medicines into Seventh-rank ones.

He had not yet tried to upgrade to the Ninth Rank.

At this moment, Xu Jin just wants to try upgrading Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicines to Ninth-rank ones, while also checking the effectiveness of cultivating with Ninth-rank Spiritual Medicines.

With a thought, Xu Jin found himself in the Seven Killings Palace.

Now, the Seven Killings Palace is considered a Holy Land in the hearts of the people of the Seven Killings.

Forget entering, they don’t even dare to approach, because it’s the dwelling place of the god.

Inside the Seven Killings Palace, Xu Jin took out an Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicine and carefully sensed the potent components contained within.

It was a Water-Wood interdependent Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicine.

The Mingji Star Pattern quickly detected its origin properties, with a ratio close to one to two.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jin brought this Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicine to the air above the Candou Platform and activated the refining function.

The first was the special rhythmic force.

Under the refining activation, the Origin Stars and Law Stars operated simultaneously, causing a large amount of starlight to merge into the Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicine. First, the Mysterious Water Rhythm and Green Wood Rhythm were infused according to a one to two ratio.

The starlight continuously flashed, the rhythmic force merging in, progressively transforming into the spiritual essence of the Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicine. After fifteen minutes, the preliminary refining was completed, and Xu Jin injected a Water Element Celestial Star Will and two Wood Element Heavenly Star Wills.

Almost simultaneously, these three Heaven and Earth Star Wills were refined by the Candou Platform into a large cluster of Spiritual Essence, directly enveloping this Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicine.

The crimson starlight surged, and after fifteen minutes, when all the Spiritual Essence had merged into this Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicine, Xu Jin’s Mingji Star Pattern suddenly sensed a change in the internal structure of this medicine.

It was rapidly transforming.

At the same time, one stream after another of starlight containing immense Star Power was drawn down from the Candou Platform and directly infused into the newly transformed Eighth-Order Spiritual Medicine, causing its aura to rise swiftly.

Eighty-seven streams.

A full eighty-seven streams of starlight were drawn from the Candou Platform and injected to fully stabilize the aura of this Eighth-Order Spiritual Medicine.

This number made Xu Jin somewhat astonished.

Counting what had been consumed before, it’s almost a hundred streams.

It’s worth noting that Xu Jin’s current cultivation level, if entirely depleted, would consume about a hundred and forty streams of starlight from the Candou Platform for recovery.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin looked at the freshly refined Eighth-Order Spiritual Medicine and began immediately refining and absorbing its drug efficacy to forge the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

Xu Jin wanted to test how much this unprecedentedly precious Eighth-Order Spiritual Medicine could enhance his cultivation level.

After all, merely elevating this medicine from the Seventh to the Eighth Order consumed one Mysterious Water Rhythm, two Green Wood Rhythms, one Water Element Celestial Star Will, and two Wood Element Heavenly Star Wills.

This consumption is considerably large.

These resources, if taken outside, could definitely be exchanged for tens of thousands of Sixth-Rank Star Jade.

Alas, Sixth-Rank Star Jade is of no benefit to Xu Jin’s cultivation.

At the initial absorption and refining of drug efficacy, Xu Jin’s eyes immediately showed surprise.

This drug efficacy is far more potent than he imagined.

Seven two-hours later, the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower within Xu Jin slightly quivered.

The seventy-second layer of the Nine-cornered Cloud Tower was formed.

But the drug efficacy of this Eighth-Order Spiritual Medicine had only been consumed by slightly more than two-thirds.

This excited Xu Jin immensely.

He still needs thirty-six layers of the Nine-cornered Cloud Tower to be forged, but based on this drug efficacy, theoretically, he would need only twenty-four Eighth-Order Spiritual Medicines to fully forge the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower to its limit.

Out of forty-five Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicines, Xu Jin only needs to refine and elevate twenty-four of them into Eighth-Order Spiritual Medicines.

Of course, Xu Jin will try to refine more Eighth-Order Spiritual Medicines if possible.

If opportunities arise, he might casually enhance the cultivation levels of others as well.

Having capable hands makes Xu Jin’s tasks easier.

Casually summoning Hou Yunzhang, Tan Zhi, as well as the Domain Master and Vice Domain Master of the Seven Killings Star Domain, along with subordinates like Zhong Weili and Ye Yanfeng, he activates the Candou Lamp Domain, allowing them to attain enlightenment of the Star Pattern while he himself focuses on refining and elevating the Spiritual Medicines.

Completing these refinements and elevating the Spiritual Medicines, time should align with the current world.

And during his continued refining and elevating of Spiritual Medicines, Xu Jin discovers the wonders of the Candou Platform or the Candou Lamp Domain.

The refining and elevating method of the Candou Platform seems to have two kinds.

One is the fierce fire style of refining and elevating, requiring many external aids.

This is the method Xu Jin currently uses.

The second kind is nurturing and elevating through the Star Lamp.

Xu Jin only discovered this today.

Previously, the nurturing function of the Candou Platform’s Star Lamp had become increasingly useless.

At most, it could nurture the drug efficacy of a certain medicine to its extreme, achieving a top-grade state.

As for the three essences of Pill, Xu Jin can use fewer and fewer Pills nowadays; at least, none exist in this world.

It’s also become useless.

So, he’s been nurturing Spiritual Medicines all along.

But today, Xu Jin suddenly noticed something unusual.

The number of Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicines inside the Star Lamp has suddenly increased.

In six Star Lamps, Xu Jin had originally placed six Spiritual Medicines in each lamp for nurturing, maximizing their drug efficacy.

Because Xu Jin had only so many Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicines at hand, and before obtaining Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicines from the worldly Star Lord, Xu Jin had twenty-two Spiritual Medicines.

All placed inside the Star Lamp for nurturing.

The thirty-six nurturing positions in the six Star Lamps were filled with twenty-two Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicines, the rest were all Sixth-Order Spiritual Medicines.

Can’t let them idle, right?

This number, Xu Jin remembers clearly.

But upon retrieving the nurtured Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicines, Xu Jin suddenly found that among the thirty-six nurtured Spiritual Medicines, thirty-one were Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicines.

This directly stunned Xu Jin.

Nine extra Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicines out of nowhere?

Soon, Xu Jin pinpointed the reason.

It should be because the Candou Platform elevated to the Sixth Rank, causing changes to the nurturing function of the Star Lamp.

Moreover, the Origin and the participation of Law Stars in the Candou Platform plays an indispensable role in this.

An Origin Star and six Law Stars hang high above the Star Lamp, radiating starlight continuously warming these nurtured Spiritual Medicines inside the Star Lamp.

This effect is actually somewhat similar to the nurturing effect of Heaven and Earth, Sun and Moon essence.

Could possibly be even stronger.

The Heaven and Earth, Sun and Moon essence nourish many things, it is benevolent, but the stars of the Candou Platform offer a sort of caring love.

Day and night, it shines upon the Star Lamp, nurturing the items within.

Xu Jin recalled that the first batch of Sixth-Order Spiritual Medicines placed in the Star Lamp had been there for over a month.

Sufficient time, plus the nurturing from the Star Lamp, plus the illumination and warmth from the Origin and Law Stars, along with the continuous infusion of starlight from the Candou Platform, resulted in elevation.

The time required might be a month.

This may not meet Xu Jin’s current cultivation needs, but it certainly will suffice for the future.

Moreover, this is definitely a financial path!

Thus, while refining and elevating the Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicines necessary for cultivation into Eighth-Order Spiritual Medicines, Xu Jin placed a new batch of Sixth-Order and Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicines into the Candou Platform, recording the time.

He wants to test how long the Star Lamp of the Candou Platform elevated to the Sixth Rank, under the starlight of Law Stars, can elevate Sixth-Order Spiritual Medicines to the Seventh Order?

How long to elevate Seventh-Order Spiritual Medicines to the Eighth Order?
