Chapter 1536: Chapter 625: Star River Island
The Dao Embryo transformed into starlight, flying back and forth in the high sky of Jinshan County, with twelve sword essences appearing and disappearing at Xu Jin’s will.
With a thought, the twelve sword essences transformed into sword patterns protecting Xu Jin’s body surface; another thought, and the twelve sword essences could combine into any shape around Xu Jin’s Dao Embryo.
Unfortunately, as Emperor Fenghua said, only when a certain star pattern steps into the Dao is it possible to comprehend divine skills with sword essence. Generally, it requires surpassing the ninth tier.
The so-called star pattern stepping into the Dao refers to comprehending after the star pattern reaches above the ninth tier and breaks through again.
The Dao Embryo flies freely in the high sky, feeling more unrestrained and relaxed without any binds.
The flying speed and consumption, including space movement consumption, are much less than that of the physical body.
This is the biggest difference between Primordial Spirit and Dao Embryo.
Primordial Spirit can only temporarily leave the physical body and cannot go too far. If it leaves the body without special protection, its power will continuously dissipate.
But the Dao Embryo has its own world, with no risk of power dissipation.
Leaving the body for a thousand or ten thousand meters, even a thousand or ten thousand miles, poses no issue.
Theoretically, even without a physical body, the Dao Embryo can survive independently for a long time.
But it’s not without risks.
The Dao Embryo is still just an embryo; without the body’s protection, it’s extremely dangerous, especially when encountering star skills that can suppress Divine Soul powers.
Previously, the Baidou Sect Hierarch supported the Star Domain with his Dao Embryo, only to be struck by Xu Jin’s Thunder Star Skill, causing him to lose cultivation—a cautionary tale.
Although Xu Jin’s Dao Embryo can move freely now, it still faces similar risks.
In the next moment, with a sudden thought, Xu Jin sent a point of starlight soaring from his flesh, swiftly reaching his Dao Embryo’s side.
Xu Jin’s Dao Embryo leaped in instantly, overwhelmed with a sense of security.
"This?"
This scene sparked many thoughts within Xu Jin.
Other people’s Dao Embryos leave the body alone, facing many risks, but Xu Jin is protected by Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.
The key is, with Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, Xu Jin can effortlessly use various star skills.
When the Baidou Divine Sect Hierarch used his Dao Embryo before, aside from Divine Soul Secret Technique, he could only harness the power of his life star to attack.
In special scenarios, this shows great potential.
After all, most Dao Embryos dare not distance far from the body.
[Old Yu, I successfully nurtured my Dao Embryo. How many essence did yours have?] Xu Jin immediately sent a starlight transmission to Master Youyu using the Thousand Star Token.
Firstly, to share joy, secondly to compare.
[Little Jinzi, how many essences did you nurture? Eight essence or nine? I was impatient back in the day, though my senior gave me the Seven-Turned Spirit Embryo Fruit, I was eager to nurture my Dao Embryo, eventually nurturing seven essence Sword Embryo.
However, it’s still very powerful!
Among our Thousand Star Alliance members with cultivation up to the twelfth tier, over half of them nurtured eight essence Dao Embryos, while nine essence are rare.]
[Old Yu, my master nurtured the nine essence Sword Embryo?]
[Of course! Otherwise, he wouldn’t be your uncle-master alliance hierarch. Quickly, tell me, is it eight essence or nine?]
[Nine essence.]
It took a few moments for Master Youyu to reply, [Wow, nine essence, how wonderful! It’s a pity my younger self was reckless. After breakthroughs, focus on cultivation to upgrade your cultivation level. Right, your Dao Embryo shouldn’t exceed six inches now?
You must focus on enhancing the Dao Embryo cultivation; only by raising it above one foot to the Dao Embryo Early Period can it be considered stable and safely roam the heavens and earth.]
Seeing his Dao Embryo standing at a proud one foot and two inches, Xu Jin felt awkward to say.
He understood the hint.
Besides, it might hurt his very likable uncle-master.
Given his Dao Embryo’s initial stage was at one foot and two inches, Xu Jin felt it was perfectly normal.
His Primordial Spirit was at the ultimate boundary through breaking the limit, and during the nurturing, he used both eighth-tier Divine Soul Type spiritual medicine and Eight-Turn Spiritual Embryo Fruit.
After chatting with Master Youyu, Xu Jin immediately reported his success to Emperor Fenghua.
This was a little trick of Xu Jin’s.
Emotions can’t be measured in value.
But essentially, without value, Emperor Fenghua wouldn’t have accepted Xu Jin as a disciple.
Thus, Xu Jin reported with all truthful data.
This is to showcase value.
It’s a necessary step to display performance and continue attracting investment.
[Twelve essence Sword Embryo? This... how did you accomplish this?] replied Emperor Fenghua with starlight transmission, expressing astonishment.
[Master, as I came, Master Youyu instructed that if I possess eighth-tier Divine Soul spiritual medicine, I should take it during nurturing. I happened to have two plants, so I took them and also consumed the Seven-Turned Spirit Embryo Fruit.
Finally, condensing twelve essence Sword Embryo.]
[Jin’er, this matter must never be spoken of to anyone else. In these heavens and stars domain, it’s extremely difficult for others to acquire a nine essence Dao Embryo; nurturing twelve essence Sword Embryo is simply astonishing and bound to incite envy if spread.]
[Thank you for the reminder, Master. I understand.]
[Understanding is good, your Dao Embryo is now nurtured, focus on enhancing your cultivation, as cultivation is fundamental.]
In a distant grand hall amid misty starlight in the Star River Origin Domain, Emperor Fenghua opened his eyes, filled with amazement.
"When I nurtured a ten essence Sword Embryo, Master considered it heavenly, saying it was sight unseen in six hundred years. Unexpectedly, Xu Jin nurtured a twelve essence Sword Embryo. If Master were still here, who knows the level of amazement.
If grown smoothly, perhaps it may..."
At this thought, Emperor Fenghua hurriedly transmitted to Master Youyu again, instructing him once more to take good care of Xu Jin.
*****
On May 11th, after consulting Emperor Fenghua, Xu Jin passed on the Zhenxing Technique to Ji Hongli, allowing Ji Hongli to obtain stronger cultivation and combat power upon breaking through the seventh tier.
As for the name sake, it was applied under the name of his wife.
Emperor Fenghua gladly agreed.
He also agreed that Xu Jin could pass on the Zhenxing Skill to others, but only within Xu Jin’s circle. Others practicing it are prohibited from spreading, or their cultivation will be reclaimed in the future.
```
Xu Jin himself must practice the Star Killing Skill, and for the Star Suppressing Skill, Xu Jin only plans to pass it on to a select few people.
For most people, being able to learn the Star Harmony Skill is already the pinnacle.
This is already far stronger than most people’s cultivation of the Star Praying Skill.
"In the past half month, your accomplishments in Star Patterns have advanced by leaps and bounds. Your understanding of Star Patterns far exceeds those with the same cultivation level. Next, you should focus entirely on improving your cultivation level. Remember, cultivation is the foundation."
At the Town Domain Royal Mansion, after providing special instruction to Ying Ge, Jiang’er, Da Niu, Ji Fei and others for half a month, it has been temporarily halted.
Their level of Star Patterns had all reached a frightening degree.
Like Jiang’er, Ying Ge, and Yu’er, they each had around seven or eight eighth-tier upper Star Patterns. Most of the next generation, like Da Niu and Ji Fei, had also reached the seventh tier, with several achieving eighth-tier Star Patterns.
In such circumstances, they are terrifyingly strong among their peers.
Especially since each of them has engraved Clear Soul, Mingji, Great Gathering Star Pattern, Warm Dream, and other foundational Star Patterns, as well as elephant patterns, all reaching the eighth tier or even eighth-tier upper.
Every one of them, when deployed, is absolutely invincible among their peers.
They can even defeat enemies several Great Realms higher without any issues.
While assigning these people to undergo intense cultivation, Xu Jin immediately returned to the Seven Killings Star Domain.
The Divine Dao Golden Pearls accumulated over this period were running out. Although not much time had passed, Xu Jin was accustomed to stockpiling these potentials for explosive power.
Preparation leads to safety.
In times of danger, they can be used to burst forth and save lives.
Within the Seven Killings Star Domain, Xu Jin quietly extracted all the Faith Golden Light accumulated in two Divine Statues, obtaining a total of seventy Divine Dao Golden Pearls.
It’s been just twenty days since Xu Jin last harvested Faith Golden Light in the Seven Killings Star Domain.
On average, three and a half Divine Dao Golden Pearls per day.
After the establishment of the second Divine Statue, the accumulation speed of Divine Dao Golden Pearls indeed increased.
Previously, only about two could be accumulated per day, now it’s an average of three and a half per day.
And it’s just been twenty days, the new sub-city has yet to fully stabilize.
Xu Jin estimates that once the new sub-city and the people of the Seven Killings stabilize completely, accumulating four Divine Dao Golden Pearls a day will be no problem.
Seventy Divine Dao Golden Pearls are more than enough for Xu Jin to use to protect himself in critical moments.
On May 12th, in the Town Domain Royal Mansion, after arranging everything for Yu’er and others, Xu Jin felt a slight stir in his mind, triggering his Thousand Star Jade Order.
At the same time, Xu Jin also activated the foundational starlight of the Star River Isolated Island integrated into the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.
In an instant, he sent his Star River Isolated Island’s mark aura into the Thousand Star Jade Order.
The next moment, as half of his Sky Power in the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower was being drawn away, with a flash of starlight, Xu Jin disappeared on the spot.
This is another great advantage of the Thousand Star Jade Order.
The Thousand Star Orders of the Thousand Star Alliance are not only divided by tiers but also by grades.
Initially, Xu Jin was quite confused.
But on the Trial Black Tower, True Monarch You Yu explained it clearly to Xu Jin.
Grades are internal, while tiers are external.
After advancing in grade, one gradually becomes an internal member of the Thousand Star Alliance, or even a core member.
Whether it’s a second-tier, third-tier, or a fourth-tier Thousand Star Order, they’re actually just outer cooperative members.
Only by advancing a Thousand Star Order to a Silver Order does one become a formal member, and a Gold Order makes one an internal member with certain privileges.
But the Thousand Star Jade Order is undoubtedly a true core member with many privileges, especially within the Origin Domain.
In the Star River Origin Domain, the Thousand Star Jade Order can be used as a permanent space transmission array plate. As long as there is a Star Domain Mark, by utilizing the space transmission function of the Thousand Star Order, one can teleport.
It’s an extremely practical function.
Otherwise, Xu Jin would have to use a temporary space shifting array plate to travel to and from the Star River Isolated Island, which is expensive, inconvenient, and only lasts seven days per activation.
If he made several trips, Xu Jin would be heartbroken from the expense.
Now, he can use the Thousand Star Jade Order for teleportation, and the transmission of the Thousand Star Order is more stable.
Of course, the consumption of Star Power must be provided by oneself.
With a flash of starlight, Xu Jin suddenly found himself standing firmly, surrounded by countless stars. At this moment, Xu Jin seemed to be within a flowing galaxy, the starlight in heaven and earth exceptionally bright.
"Am I here?"
In surprise, just as Xu Jin looked down, he gasped.
"So small?"
The Star River Isolated Island beneath his feet was not even a square meter, just a little over half a square meter.
It barely allowed Xu Jin to stand or carefully sit cross-legged.
All around, there was the endless raging force of the chaotic starlight.
Xu Jin cautiously extended a sixth-tier Star Artifact, and in an instant, it turned to ash.
"How is this... thing supposed to grow? It’s so small, it’s difficult to stand for long periods?"
As doubts filled Xu Jin’s mind, suddenly a flood of information surfaced in his consciousness.
It was the Island, connected to his soul, providing feedback that enlightened him instantly.
As long as he continued to cultivate here, he could accelerate the growth of the Star River Isolated Island.
Of course, when Xu Jin was not present, the Island would also grow naturally, but at a slower pace.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll cultivate here for a while."
If you’re here, you might as well settle.
Even Emperor Fenghua advised Xu Jin to cultivate more on the Star River Isolated Island.
Perfectly, Xu Jin needed to use Divine Dao True Intent to deduce Star Patterns, so he would cultivate on the Star River Isolated Island for a while to see its mystical properties.
Even Emperor Fenghua and True Monarch You Yu held it in such esteem.
After merely fifteen minutes of cultivation, a strange light appeared in Xu Jin’s eyes.
