Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1503: Chapter 610: True Destiny Star Monarch

"Brother Xu, your speed is quite fast, you’re actually the first one to come out."

Noticing Xu Jin’s exceptional performance, Zou Jia initiated a conversation with Xu Jin once again.

"No, the first one was her, not me. I came out second." Xu Jin explained.

"Tan Taiqi! It’s normal for her to be first." Zou Jia said.

"You know her?"

"Not really, but she has appeared several times in this session’s trial, always ranking in the top ten each time. Unfortunately, she hasn’t yet found the opportunity she desires." Zou Jia transmitted.

"Opportunity?" Xu Jin was a bit puzzled.

"When you have the chance to enter the third round of rankings in the future, you’ll understand. But your current performance is quite good.

It seems passing the fourth level shouldn’t be too difficult for you, but the fifth level is hard to say, and the sixth level is unlikely." Zou Jia transmitted, "However, you’re still so young, if you make more breakthroughs in your cultivation level, you’ll definitely have the chance to enter the third round in the future."

It seems Zou Jia is convinced that Xu Jin won’t enter the third round of ranking.

But he said that the fourth level isn’t difficult for Xu Jin, which is some good news.

According to him, after passing the fourth level, the Thousand Star Token can be upgraded.

"Mr. Zou, what does the second round re-test mainly examine?" Xu Jin asked.

Initially, Zou Jia wasn’t willing to say much to Xu Jin, but Xu Jin’s potential displayed in the first round made him consider befriending him and forming a goodwill connection.

It’s like casting a wide net.

"The specifics of the test are unknown, but it’s highly likely related to this." Zou Jia pointed to his own head.

Xu Jin’s eyes moved, "Primordial Spirit?"

"Possibly, but there are exceptions."

"Thank you, Mr. Zou."

Xu Jin sincerely expressed his thanks.

It’s clear that this Zou Jia is quite opportunistic, but out in the world, if someone helps you, it’s a favor, if not, it’s not an obligation.

Being given so many hints is already a blessing.

Suddenly, with a flash of starlight, another figure appeared, it was Lei Quan, the Thunder Wing Alien Race who had previously caused much discussion and even lamentation among the participants.

This person was the fourth to pass the initial selection.

Just landed, his blade-like gaze swept across the three people including Xu Jin, and in a flash, thunder clouds gathered in his eyes.

Subsequently, person after person flew out from the Trial Domain, landing in the area shrouded by the starlight of the Trial Black Tower, with the number of people passing the trial gradually increasing.

Suddenly, the scene slightly darkened, and a giant figure over five meters tall landed, it was Tuo Song with the three eyes, who had previously yelled at Xu Jin, successfully passing the initial trial.

Sweeping over the crowd with a glance, his fierce gaze gouged at Xu Jin, clearly remembering the previous unpleasantness.

Looking at this Tuo Song, Xu Jin suddenly had a thought.

"Mr. Zou, there’s something I’d like to ask for advice."

"Brother Xu, feel free to speak, I won’t hold back and will answer comprehensively." This Zou Jia was evidently sociable, just a few words made people feel as if bathed in spring breeze.

"Mr. Zou, in the initial trial I faced enemies whose cultivation level increased by a small realm in each of the three stages. According to you, this initial trial pattern should be the same.

In that case, for Tuo Song in the late Ninth Rank, his enemies in three stages should be Peak of Ninth Rank, Early Tenth Rank Star Monarch, Mid Tenth Rank Star Monarch?

Or is it a one against five scenario?

How strong does this Tuo Song have to be?" Xu Jin asked.

Hearing this question, Zou Jia’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

His judgment was correct, this Xu Jin may have good talent and combat power, but lacks roots, otherwise he wouldn’t be asking this question.

He must be a grassroot loose cultivator.

In this world, there are legends of grassroot loose cultivators defying the odds, but precisely because it’s extremely rare, it becomes a legend.

Those grassroot loose cultivators not only defying odds from mankind but even a one in a thousand or ten thousand success story wouldn’t become a topic of legendary discussion.

It wouldn’t be seen as a miracle.

But since casting a wide net, a small effort of speaking could establish goodwill, it ought to be done.

This is Zou Jia’s principle of conduct.

"Brother, that’s not how it works, firstly, the power of Tenth Rank Star Monarchs can already invoke Origin Power of stars, so no matter how mystifying, vast, or powerful the Trial Black Tower within the alliance, it cannot condense the power of Tenth Rank Star Monarchs.

The alliance’s Trial Black Tower can only condense and generate Peak Ninth Rank trial spirits at best.

But even so, the trial spirits condensed and generated at Peak Ninth Rank within the tower are still weaker by one or two tenths compared to actual Ninth Rank strength." Zou Jia explained.

"Mr. Zou, then for the Ninth Rank late-period Tuo Song’s initial trial, is it in another form?" Xu Jin asked.

"No."

Zou Jia shook his head, "It’s merely a wide selection of trials within the alliance, not that complicated, as far as I know, in such instances, it’s usually lack of cultivation level made up by numbers. They increase the number of trial spirits to enhance difficulty.

But exactly how many, I am unsure."

"Thanks, Mr. Zou."

"There’s one more thing you need to know. Perhaps you have yet to encounter the core inheritance at your doorstep, so you’re unaware of the rank division among Tenth Rank True Monarchs, encountering you is fate, let me just say a few extra words, brother don’t mind." Zou Jia advised.

"I really don’t know, please, Mr. Zou, enlighten me."

Despite Xu Jin’s frequent questions, Zou Jia patiently explained, allowing Xu Jin to understand.

Regarding Tenth Rank Star Monarchs, Xu Jin truly was unaware.

Because within the inheritance Xu Jin received from Seven Kills True Monarch, even Seven Kills True Monarch himself only had Ninth Rank cultivation when leaving Kunling Domain and hadn’t broken through to Tenth Rank.

Naturally, no information was left on these matters.

Tenth Rank Star Monarch is both a rank and a title.

Commonly seen are Tenth Rank Little Star Monarchs, moving upward are Tenth Rank Great Star Monarchs, further atop are True Destiny Star Monarchs, and the strongest among Tenth Rank Star Monarchs are termed Crown Star Monarchs.

Each tier is stronger than the next, and each tier is rarer than the last.

According to Zou Jia, those cultivators who are in the late Ninth Tier but still participate in the Thousand Star Alliance trial are essentially seeking the path to become a True Destiny Star Monarch.

Becoming a Little Star Monarch is easy, a Great Star Monarch is difficult, and a True Destiny Star Monarch is exceedingly challenging.

Because only by becoming a True Destiny Star Monarch can one’s Dao path continue.

Otherwise, the Dao path can only halt at the Great Star Monarch.

Zou Jia also frankly stated that these things are common knowledge in the Middle World, known even by the alien races of the Middle World and many Small Worlds, as long as they’re primarily led by humans.

Zou Jia recommended that if Xu Jin has the opportunity, it’s best to cultivate in a different Small World.

The Small World where Xu Jin resides lacks even this basic knowledge, indicating a Small World with severed heritage.

Staying will only waste Xu Jin’s talent.

There was something Xu Jin was embarrassed to say.

The world he lives in for cultivation is not a Small World but a Middle World.

This is very certain.

But why did Zou Jia say things that are common knowledge in the Small World, yet are scarcely known in this Kunling Domain, a Middle World?

At least Cheng Yuxiao the State Preceptor doesn’t know, nor does Cheng Yuxiao’s teacher Mao Yan.

As to whether several Star Lords know, Xu Jin isn’t sure.

Xu Jin has already decided to ask that convenient disciple, the Wood Spirit Palace Master, after returning.

If the Wood Spirit Palace Master knows, that’s fine.

But if even the Wood Spirit Palace Master doesn’t know, then there is indeed a problem with this Kunling Domain.

However, this Kunling Domain has heritage.

The State Preceptor previously told Xu Jin that people like Tianyang Star Lord, Cangming Star Lord, Doom-suppressing Star Lord were able to break through to the Ninth Tier at the gateway because when the founder of the Star-picking Tower descended with the decree, at the same time, at least five Divine Dao True Intents were also bestowed upon various Star Halls.

The Wood Spirit Palace Master also provided Xu Jin with the same information.

There is heritage, and there is an ancestor.

But this common knowledge of the Tenth Rank Star Monarch hasn’t spread in Kunling Domain.

Not even the method of nurturing a Daoist Embryo through Divine Soul Cultivation is known to the Star Lords of several Star Halls.

Strange!

Very strange.

"This Kunling Domain, being so different, could it be hiding a great secret?"

If there’s a chance in the future, it’s still worth investigating.

As time passed, more and more people passed the initial trial.

Previously there were fewer people, but there were very few like Xu Jin who could clear instantly or swiftly.

After fierce battles, the number of people passing the initial trial was still quite large.

Mingji Star Pattern was inconvenient to use, but Xu Jin swept his gaze over the crowd enveloped in the Starlight of the Black Tower, seeing more than fifty thousand.

Possibly even a bit more.

An hour later, the Law Enforcer, who had been resting closed-eyed at the top of the Black Tower, suddenly opened his eyes.

"The May trial initial has ended, with 65,685 people passing the initial selection. In 15 minutes, the re-selection will begin, so prepare early."

Hearing this number, Xu Jin was quite surprised.

The reason for surprise rather than shock was mainly because in previous conversations, Zou Jia roughly told Xu Jin about the Thousand Star Token.

In the Star Domain where he is located, the Thousand Star Token is openly sold and not expensive.

Even a Loose Cultivator, spending a year or two, can buy a piece of Thousand Star Token.

Of course, it’s the most ordinary Thousand Star Token.

For a disciple like him in the sect, the Thousand Star Token obtained from the sect is directly the Second-tier Thousand Star Silver Token.

Frankly speaking, when first hearing this news, Xu Jin was a bit disheartened.

Even in this extraordinary world, people are not the same.

Xu Jin, including those protectors from the Blood God Sect, fought fiercely accumulating points to upgrade the Thousand Star Token to Second-tier, and it was still the most ordinary Thousand Star Copper Token.

Zou Jia and the others received directly the Second-tier Thousand Star Silver Token.

It really is...

minutes quickly passed.

The Law Enforcer atop the Black Tower spoke again, "Re-selection begins, the trial lasts two hours, the entrance is open for an hour, those who do not enter the arena within an hour will be deemed to have given up."

The next moment, a Star Gate emerged atop the Black Tower.

One by one, beams of Starlight shot like meteors into the Star Gate.

As usual, Xu Jin didn’t hurry, calmly waiting to enter last.

No one present looked at Xu Jin as they entered, only Zou Jia transmitted to Xu Jin before entering, "Brother Xu, you are very likely to be eliminated in the re-selection, the galaxy is vast, and it’s difficult for us to meet again.

But if you can pass the fourth level of the re-selection, which is the fourth level, then there’s a chance to upgrade the Thousand Star Token to Silver Token, and you’ll be able to activate the communication function.

This is my Thousand Star Token imprint; you can use it to add me as a companion for convenient communication."

"Thank you, Mr. Zou, for the reminder, if I pass, I will definitely contact Mr. Zou."

"Brother Xu, do your best to pass one or two more levels in the re-selection; the rewards are much better compared to the initial selection."

After saying this, Zou Jia smiled and cupped his hands to Xu Jin, then swiftly transformed into a beam of Starlight and rushed into the trial gate of the Black Tower.

The next moment, Xu Jin also instantaneously stepped onto the Star and rushed into the trial gate of the Black Tower.

Instantly, beams of Starlight appeared in front of Xu Jin.

The re-selection of this trial began.
