Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1624: Chapter 665: Breaking Through the Eighth Tier and Minister of War Remnants

On the morning of January 13th, a sudden silver starlight fell from the sky, directly entering the Town Domain Royal Mansion.

The silver starlight hung down like a line from the heavens, endlessly continuous.

Inside the mansion, Ji Hongli, who was cultivating beside Xu Jin, saw this and her expression immediately turned serious.

Without batting an eye, she pulled Haoyue, who was also cultivating, out of the quiet room, her delicate face darkening as she immediately issued orders.

"Pass down the orders: the Town Domain Royal Mansion is under lockdown; no one is allowed to use Star Power."

"Instruct the Town Domain Prince’s trusted aide army to enforce a city-wide lockdown, extending vigilance to a hundred miles beyond. Within and beyond a hundred miles radius of the Town Domain Royal City, no flight or use of Star Power is permitted; violators will be beheaded. Those who refuse to listen will be killed!"

"Ying Ge, take the disciples to patrol the hundred miles surrounding the Town Domain Royal City. If there is any anomaly, handle it immediately. Those who refuse to listen, cut them down directly with the flying sword."

Ji Hongli, with her now exceptional insight, though unaware that her husband Xu Jin had begun his eighth-tier breakthrough without warning, knew that during his breakthrough to the eighth tier, he absolutely could not be disturbed.

Moreover, Xu Jin, being the foremost person in Kunling Domain, might have an unusual breakthrough process, so she couldn’t be careless.

As orders were issued, the entire Town Domain Royal City immediately became filled with killing intent, with streaks of starlight soaring into the sky, patrolling all around.

Yet more people, however, gazed at that silver thread hanging like a line from the heavens, their hearts filled with envy.

This Town Domain Heavenly King, Xu Jin, crushed the world at the seventh tier, slaying those at the ninth tier. So after breaking through to the eighth tier?

He would be invincible within the Kunling Domain.

"Sister Haoyue, you and I will each guard a side, serving as a protector for my husband within the mansion. In the end, it is most reassuring for us to guard him personally."

"Rest assured, sister."

Silver surged upwards as Haoyue flew to a high tower within the Town Domain Royal Mansion, entering a state of invisibility in an instant.

Having arranged all this, Ji Hongli still felt uneasy.

Though she, Haoyue, and Ying Ge now all possessed extremely formidable seventh-tier combat power, capable of resisting even top-tier eighth-tier opponents, it was still best to be cautious.

She immediately notified the current Great Elder of the Star Dome Holy Hall, National Master Cheng Yuexiao of Dachen Country, about this matter.

[Hongli, there’s no need to worry. Under such circumstances, a Holy Venerable’s breakthrough should be a natural progression and will likely face no major issues. However, the world is still unsettled, and to prevent any sabotage, your arrangements are appropriate.

I will set out right away to personally serve as a protector.]

Cheng Yuexiao responded immediately.

Within the quiet room, Xu Jin was actually aware of all the arrangements Ji Hongli was making.

Though he felt Ji Hongli’s reaction was a bit tense, he did not stop her.

The feeling of being valued was quite nice.

Just as Cheng Yuexiao had said, Xu Jin’s breakthrough this time was indeed a natural progression.

His cultivation level had already reached the Seventh Tier Ninth Layer Peak a month ago. He had been honing his cultivation and constantly increasing the power of his natal star with the Star Killing Skill.

This morning, during his regular cultivation, the one hundred and eight layers of the Star Tower within him suddenly trembled, starlight bursting forth, causing the starlight from the many star halls on his natal star to glow brilliantly in response.

Xu Jin immediately understood that the opportunity for breakthrough had arrived.

Breaking through in this situation is often smoother and more effective than trying to force a breakthrough.

Naturally, Xu Jin would not miss it, though it was somewhat abrupt.

The eighth tier, known as the Star Tower Realm, marks the beginning of establishing one’s Dao, also called establishing the tower, or establishing the Dao in the Star Tower.

It signifies that upon reaching this level, one must choose their path.

Preparing for future Dao confirmation.

But this is merely a choice.

Upon reaching this realm, it is different again. Loose cultivators without much inheritance would establish whatever they have.

For those with mixed cultivation or obscure Dao paths, it’s also common to choose all available cultivation directions.

Many cultivate three or even five systems of Star Skill, with uncertain future opportunities and vague Dao paths. At this point, they will choose them all and establish the Dao, building their Star Tower.

Even if they can’t break through to the ninth tier, at the very least their combat power is slightly stronger in the eighth tier.

Most people in the Kunling Domain have done this before.

Because the chance of a future breakthrough to the ninth tier is too slim.

To most ordinary people, becoming proficient in two or three systems of Star Skill during their cultivation journey is quite impressive.

Trying to establish multiple Daos is simply impossible.

After all, one layer of Dao leads to one layer of the tower.

But for the National Master, various Star Lords, with different resources, multiple star towers can be established with sufficient insight.

For example, when the National Master reached the Eighth Tier Peak, they established 106 layers of the star tower, making their combat power in the eighth tier incredibly strong.

The Cangming Star Lord established 99 layers of the star tower, with equally formidable combat power.

The so-called Tao Rules and the Heaven and Earth Star Will of small worlds form the basis for the Power of Laws.

One portion of Heaven and Earth Star Will forms one Tao Rule; ten portions can merge into one Law. Ten portions of Law Power can merge into one World Origin Power.

This principle had already been rehearsed and validated on Xu Jin’s Candou Platform.

Penetrating one layer of a Tao Rule can establish one Star Tower layer.

Now Xu Jin faces many choices during his breakthrough, and they are relatively challenging.

With eight elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and Space.

But with guidance from his master, Emperor Fenghua, Xu Jin’s cultivation direction and order became very clear.

The Great Chaos Spirit Body, cultivating all eight systems, but the order and rhythm of cultivation are crucial.

Begin with space cultivation, followed by the five elements, and end with wind and thunder.

This was the fundamental reason why Emperor Fenghua took half a year to deduce the Great Chaos Spirit Body for Xu Jin.
