Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1620: Chapter 664: Holy Venerable and Tenth Rank Suppression Artifact (Double Chapter)

In three months’ time, the war on the Galaxy Continent had already ended, and the spoils had been fully divided.

But within the present world, undercurrents were surging.

The main reason was the fall of Tianyang Star Lord and Cangming Star Lord, and the seclusion of Doom-suppressing Star Lord.

Of the six Ninth Tier experts of this era, only Dachen National Master Cheng Yuxiao and Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei were left—and these two just happened to be one and the same.

What was worse, the one who killed Tianyang Star Lord and Cangming Star Lord was no one else but Dachen’s Town Domain Heavenly King, Xu Jin.

Once this news spread.

Panic spread among the Human Clan of the present world like a plague.

Under such circumstances, the newly conquered Eight Desolate Continent had almost entirely fallen into Dachen’s hands, while Dachu and Dahong didn’t even have the courage to fight for it.

In his terror, Tianyang Star Hall’s Great Elder Wang Kan actually forced open the Dahong National Treasury, then tried to retreat and defend the Tianyang Small World with an ocean of wealth and supplies.

But Elder Peng and the Wood Spirit Palace Master, who held the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Tianyang Small World, directly slaughtered their way in.

From then on, the grand show of carving up the Dahong Empire had already begun.

What remained was only a matter of time.

If Dachen weren’t currently busy consolidating its gains on the Eight Desolate Continent and the Galaxy Battlefield, too occupied to fully devote itself to annexation, Dahong would probably already have been absorbed into Dachen’s territory by now.

But even so, Dahong was the first to fall into chaos itself.

The new Dahong Emperor actually took the initiative to cede land and offer vassalage.

At present, three provinces of land had already been ceded to Dachen.

One of those provinces had already been allotted to the Wood Spirit Palace for development.

As for the new Great Elder of Cangming Star Hall, Kong Shuo, he was remarkably quick to read the situation.

He voluntarily delivered the Cangming Small World to the Town Domain Royal Mansion, and along with it offered a Seventh Tier Star Domain, a Sixth Tier Star Domain, and two Fifth Tier Star Domains.

Xu Jin naturally had Ji Hongli accept them, placing them under her control; in the future, they would be Star Domains directly controlled by the Town Domain Royal Mansion.

The Sixth Tier and Fifth Tier Star Domains were directly distributed to the Ji Family; they were what the Ji Family deserved.

They also counted as part of Xu Jin’s betrothal gifts.

Inside the Town Domain Royal Mansion, National Master Cheng Yuxiao was giving Xu Jin a briefing. In these three months, National Master Cheng Yuxiao had grown noticeably thinner, but his whole being was brimming with energy.

"Unifying the present world is easy. As long as no external power intervenes, we can complete full unification within three years.

Right now, my main focus is on the newly established Holy Hall.

As long as this Holy Hall is built and organized properly, then the grand unification of the entire Kunling Domain won’t be that important.

But the faith and hearts of the people across the whole continent can all be gathered into the Star Dome Holy Hall.

My plan is this: although the deaths of the major Star Lords have already spread, most of it is still murky and vague.

As long as I have the various Star Halls and national governments issue public statements, then have the Hall Masters presiding over the Holy Hall swiftly promote Wood Element Star Technique—especially Star Healing—penetrating deep into the common folk, healing injuries and illnesses, we can win the hearts of the people.

It won’t take long before the Star Dome Holy Hall becomes the number one Holy Sect in the Kunling Domain.

By then, whether we are unified or not will no longer be important.

At that time, the Ninth Tier represented by me and the Wood Spirit Palace, along with the top Eighth Tiers of this era, will all become high-level figures of the Holy Sect, independent of the mortal nations, bringing blessings to the common people. With you, the Holy Venerable, occasionally manifesting in the mortal world, a foundation for all ages can be established..."

...

Cheng Yuxiao’s briefing left Xu Jin utterly dumbfounded.

He looked at National Master Cheng Yuxiao as if he were seeing a ghost.

This man’s talent in this domain was terrifying.

He had only given a broad direction, and in seclusion this man had actually come up with a Divine Right Empire.

It was too frightening.

And according to Cheng Yuxiao’s blueprint, the secular Empire would coexist with the Holy Hall standing loftily above, while Holy Hall envoys proficient in Star Healing Star Skill would walk among the people, spreading blessings.

This would absolutely allow them to reap the faith of all the people.

This made a terrifying thought flash through Xu Jin’s mind in an instant: as long as Cheng Yuxiao’s vision succeeded, even if only partially, then the entire Kunling Domain would turn into a Divine Dao Golden Pearl manufacturing machine.

Right now, the two Divine Statues in the Seven Killings Star Domain could provide Xu Jin with four to five Little Divine Gold Beads every day.

But once Cheng Yuxiao’s plan was successfully implemented, forget forty per day, even four hundred per day would be possible.

"At that time, the Holy Hall can constrain imperial power, and can also partially control conflicts. The common folk’s lives should become a bit better." When Cheng Yuxiao said this, his eyes were shining.

"National Master, have you considered another problem?"

"What problem?"

"Internal class corruption within the Holy Hall? Hold power long enough and the inside will become as corrupt as the Empire, even turning into a huge scourge." Xu Jin said.

"That’s unavoidable. However, the highest force of arms is in our hands, yours and mine, and we also have interrogation methods like Warm Dream. Discover one, purge one; discover a nest, purge a nest. We’ll just do our utmost." Cheng Yuxiao said.

"Then I’ll leave those matters to you, National Master." Xu Jin said with a laugh, about to leave and keep being a hands-off shopkeeper, but Cheng Yuxiao grabbed him.

"I can handle everything else, but there are two matters that require you, the Holy Venerable, to personally take part in—especially before the wedding." Cheng Yuxiao said urgently.

"First is the matter of the Divine Statues. There are too few Divine Statues at the moment. Based on the clues you previously obtained from the Baidou Divine Sect, we are currently encircling and suppressing the Star Domains of the Baidou Divine Sect to acquire those Star God’s Remains.

The second matter is that to quickly form faith, we need you, the Holy Venerable, to display miracles. You’re idle anyway; with Heaven and Earth Authority, it’s far too easy."

"Alright!"

Xu Jin agreed in one breath.
