Chapter 1658 - 680: Divine Soul Divine Power
Chapter 1658: Chapter 680: Divine Soul Divine Power
In the small courtyard, Xu Jin stared at the Starlight Transmission sent by his master, Emperor Fenghua, and fell into deep contemplation.
Which was better or worse was clear at a glance.
As for which path to choose, the moment he finished reading, Xu Jin already had an idea.
To obtain an identity in the Dongxuan Star Realm, Xu Jin had already racked his brains.
He had just obtained an identity in the Dongxuan Star Realm, and had also gained the tacit approval of the realm’s highest Holder, True Monarch Tianzhang.
You could say the dust had settled.
To make further use of this, why not?
More importantly, the Great Chaos Spirit Body was the path Xu Jin had chosen.
According to what True Monarch You Yu had said, if a cultivator wanted to touch the Time Power, aside from mysterious and unpredictable opportunities, there was only this path.
Emperor Fenghua had already pointed out the difficulty within.
He had pointed out the target.
More crucially, with Xu Jin’s talent, becoming a Dao Child shouldn’t be hard.
"If Heaven grants and you do not take, you’ll suffer for it instead!"
When these eight words flashed through his mind, Xu Jin had already made his decision.
Anyway, even with the first path, he would still have to stay in the Dongxuan Star Realm for half a year.
So he might as well fight for it.
Although he’d made his decision, a strange feeling rose in Xu Jin’s heart.
A few breaths later, Xu Jin sent a leisurely Starlight Transmission to Emperor Fenghua: [Master, you want me to obtain that wisp of Innate Fire Essence from Emperor Dongxuan. Aren’t you afraid that this process will get your disciple lost along the way?]
In the Imperial Palace, when Emperor Fenghua saw this Starlight Transmission, he laughed. "If he dares to ask that, then he won’t be."
But the Starlight Transmission he sent to Xu Jin was different: [Jin’er, you and I as master and disciple are already entangled in great karma. How could you be cast aside just like that? Your master believes in you.
It seems you’ve already made your choice, yes?]
[Yes, Master. Since I have to stay at least half a year in the Dongxuan Star Realm, if I don’t try to fight for it, I’d be letting myself down.]
[That’s good.]
[Since you’ve made your decision, it seems the time of our reunion as master and disciple will have to be greatly postponed again.
Originally, quite a few sect inheritances were things I planned to pass on to you only after you came here and bowed before the statue of the Patriarch.
But now it seems I’ll have to teach them to you in advance.
For now, in terms of Star Technique Divine Power, it’s not convenient for me to pass anything to you.
First, your current Realm is still a bit lacking.
Second, because Emperor Dongxuan bears resentment toward me, once you cultivate them, you’ll definitely be discovered, which would instead be unfavorable.
So, I plan to teach you a Divine Soul Divine Power.
Your Daoist Embryo Cultivation should be close to the Middle Period by now, right?] Emperor Fenghua asked.
[Master, my Daoist Embryo Cultivation is already close to the Late Period of the Sixth Tier.]
With Emperor Fenghua being so considerate of him, there were some things Xu Jin no longer planned to hide. If he kept hiding them, he’d be betraying Emperor Fenghua’s trust, and it would also make it inconvenient for Emperor Fenghua to tailor a cultivation schedule for him.
[So fast? For most people, taking thirty years to reach Daoist Embryo Perfection is already considered extremely fast. How long has it even been for you?]
In the Imperial Palace, Emperor Fenghua was dumbfounded.
[Master, one of the Star Patterns I cultivate has the effect of passively increasing Divine Soul Cultivation, and I’ve engraved one hundred and eight of them, so the passive growth of my Divine Soul Cultivation is extremely fast.]
In the Imperial Palace, Emperor Fenghua stared blankly at this Starlight Transmission.
A Star Pattern that passively increased Divine Soul Cultivation?
This wasn’t the first time he’d heard of such a thing.
The Thousand Star Alliance had similar Star Patterns, but most passive growth effects were extremely slow.
He himself had acquired such a Star Pattern back then, even deduced it to the Ninth Tier, and engraved a total of six.
The passive growth effect had been somewhat noticeable when his cultivation was low, but the further he went, the more it became little better than nothing.
Especially after his Divine Soul Cultivation broke through to the Sixth Tier Daoist Embryo, it practically had no sense of existence at all.
But in the next instant, Emperor Fenghua’s eyes narrowed.
Only then did he realize the key point.
One hundred and eight!
One hundred and eight engravings of the same Star Pattern.
Judging by the effect of the Star Pattern he’d engraved, the amplification would be nearly twenty times his own.
No wonder it was so strong!
But the question was, where did he get the slots to engrave one hundred and eight Star Patterns?
Back in the day, he had condensed fourteen Divine Soul Star Cores, and his master had already called him a peerless genius.
All told, that was only one hundred and forty slots for engraving star patterns.
If he’d dared to engrave one hundred and eight of the same Star Pattern, his master would have gone mad first.
So how had Xu Jin done it?
All of a sudden, a bold guess rose in Emperor Fenghua’s heart.
Could it be that the number of Divine Soul Star Cores this kid had condensed back then was even greater than his?
Sixteen?
Eighteen?
Or twenty?
Emperor Fenghua estimated it should be around twenty.
Otherwise, how could Xu Jin display such genius? He’d have long since crippled himself.
"Twenty Divine Soul Star Cores? Looks like I’ve picked up a treasure. Uncle-Master You Yu finally acted reliable once, and actually delivered such a big treasure to me!"
Chuckling lightly, Emperor Fenghua decided to just ask. This was his own disciple; he might as well ask directly. What was there to hide?
[Jin’er, if you engraved one hundred and eight of the same Star Pattern, then how many Divine Soul Star Cores did you condense back then?] Emperor Fenghua asked.
[Thirty-six, Master!]
Hiss!
The sound of sharply drawn breaths echoed directly through the Fenghua Emperor Palace.
Emperor Fenghua stared at this Starlight Transmission, speechless for a long time, his emotions impossibly complex.
In the records clearly kept by the Thousand Star Alliance, there had once been an Expert who condensed twenty-seven Divine Soul Star Cores.
That was already a ceiling-like existence.
Now, his disciple had shattered that ceiling and become a new one.
[Jin’er, other than your master, do not tell this to anyone else! By the way, when you advanced from the Fourth Tier to the Fifth Tier, how many Star Power Star Cores were there in your Star Palace?] Emperor Fenghua asked.
[Master, it was also thirty-six.]
In the Imperial Palace, seeing this Starlight Transmission, Emperor Fenghua quietly let out a breath.
That was still a relatively normal number.
Among the top geniuses of all sides, it was simply impossible for a single Star Palace to condense ten Star Cores.
True geniuses had at least twelve Star Cores condensed in a Single Star Palace, most were around fifteen.
Top-tier geniuses were closer to twenty.
Like him, his two Star Palaces together had condensed thirty-six Star Cores, consuming more than twice the cultivation resources of others.
Back then, his own master had also spent countless effort to cultivate him.
In the small courtyard, after answering the question, Xu Jin thought for a moment, hesitated for a few breaths, and felt it was still better to tell his teacher Emperor Fenghua about the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.
The growth of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower had clearly reached a bottleneck; as for its future, he himself had no clear direction.
His master Emperor Fenghua was well-informed and well-traveled; he should be able to give him a clear guidance.
He immediately sent over a very long Starlight Transmission detailing matters related to the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, and consulted Emperor Fenghua on its future development.
In the Imperial Palace, when Emperor Fenghua saw Xu Jin’s Starlight Transmission, his gaze froze, and he directly fell into a dazed state.
Good heavens!
A hundred and eight layers of Cloud Tower.
What thirty-six Star Cores.
This disciple of his had thirty-six in a Single Star Palace.
The middle and lower Dual Star Palace added up to seventy-two.
Looking at the problem Xu Jin described, two words suddenly surfaced in Emperor Fenghua’s mind: abnormal freak!
Truly a damn freak!
Back then, his Three Star Palace had forged a total of fifty Star Cores; after connecting earth and sky, he had been called a freak by his fellow disciples.
Now, he suddenly understood what his other senior brothers had felt back then.
"This is my disciple!"
"This is my disciple!"
...
Emperor Fenghua silently repeated this sentence several times in a row before replying to Xu Jin, [I am aware of the matter of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower; I too have a Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.
However, your Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower and mine are also greatly different.
The Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower I possess does not have the usage you described.
Nor did it have the fortune of your Cloud Tower absorbing the Chaos Origin of the Star River Island.
Just continue cultivating for now; your master will find time to use an Emperor Weapon to further link to the Star River and deduce and study this, then we’ll speak of other matters.]
In the Imperial Palace, Emperor Fenghua took a deep breath, suppressing all his astonishment and joy.
The surprise he’d received today was simply too great.
He would have to completely re-plan his disciple’s cultivation path.
[To make a long story short, this communication is being supported with the help of Duyue Emperor! Regarding the cultivation of Divine Soul Divine Skills, your master has two Divine Skills for you to choose from.
The first is the Yin Yang Soul Slaying Saber, focused on Divine Soul slaughter, extremely powerful; once cultivated, it is invincible among the same tier.
The second is the Tai Xu Heart Inquiry Platform; it is extremely difficult to cultivate, its slaughter power is not great, but it has an enormous impact on the Divine Soul, and it can ignore tier differences. I will now send you the basic cultivation method.
The cultivation Treasure Materials and related treasures for these two Divine Soul Divine Skills have all been prepared for you.
After you carefully study them, you may choose one to cultivate; you must not be greedy for more.
Because the number of Taoist Sword Essences is limited, the number of Divine Skills each person can cultivate is limited.
Once you have chosen, first follow this Cultivation Technique for foundational cultivation.
Then, after some time when you leave the Dao Palace, find a safe place and contact your master again.
At that time, your master will ask Duyue Emperor to help send you, in one batch, all the Treasure Materials and treasures needed to cultivate the Divine Soul Divine Skill, to aid you in successfully cultivating a Divine Soul Divine Skill as soon as possible.
By then, if you face a Star Lord, with your Daoist Embryo Cultivation, even if you are no match, you will still have the ability to preserve your life and escape.
Only then can your master be somewhat at ease.]
[Remember, communication is not very convenient right now, but if there is an emergency, don’t worry; immediately activate the Youyu Sword. Once your master receives the notification, he will contact you at once.]
[Master, this disciple will remember.]
A few breaths later, Xu Jin received the two Divine Soul Divine Skill cultivation methods sent by Emperor Fenghua.
Xu Jin also took the opportunity to hurriedly chat a few words with Ning Yuchan and Ji Hongli.
In less than ten breaths, the Thousand Star Token lost its radiance and once more severed all connection with the outside world.
Looking at the two Divine Soul Divine Skill cultivation methods sent by his master Emperor Fenghua, Xu Jin could not help but feel a bit emotional.
He had actually even prepared the Treasure Materials and treasures for cultivation.
Xu Jin had never cultivated Divine Skills before.
But from the records in the inheritance of Seven Kills True Monarch, he knew a bit about them.
Divine Skills were extremely hard to cultivate, all because they required large amounts of Treasure Materials and even treasures to assist in their cultivation.
To do what others cannot—that is called Divine Skill!
Many Tenth Rank Star Monarchs, those who could cultivate two Divine Skills, were all people with immense backing.
Many Eleventh Rank True Monarchs had only cultivated three or four Divine Skills at most.
Now, Emperor Fenghua had prepared for him complete sets of Divine Skill cultivation methods and cultivation resources, and for the most difficult Divine Soul Divine Skills at that.
The gold content of this master was simply too high!
Xu Jin immediately began carefully studying these two Divine Soul Divine Skills.
Regardless of what came later, as for the Yin Yang Soul Slaying Saber and the Tai Xu Heart Inquiry Platform, at his current stage Xu Jin would pick one to cultivate first and talk about the rest after he achieved it.
Of course, what attracted Xu Jin most about these two Divine Skills was still what his master Emperor Fenghua had said: once cultivated, when facing a Tenth Rank Star Monarch, he would still have a chance to preserve his life and escape!
And the Tenth Rank Star Monarch Emperor Fenghua spoke of did not refer to a Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch, but all Tenth Rank Star Monarchs, including Little Star Monarchs, Great Star Monarchs, and so on.
The cultivation methods for the two Divine Soul Divine Skills transmitted by his master Emperor Fenghua were extremely obscure even with Emperor Fenghua’s annotations, but the many subtleties within them instantly drew Xu Jin in.
...
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Xu Jin awoke to the sound of the bells of Dongxuan Dao Palace.
At the instant the bells rang, a voice resounded throughout Dongxuan Dao Palace: "The Dao Child Grand Selection is about to begin. All Marquis-ranked candidate Dao Children must arrive in front of the Mystic Dao Palace within 100 breaths!"
The Dao Child Grand Selection was about to start.
As Xu Jin slowly opened his eyes, he also made his decision on which of the two Divine Skills to specifically cultivate!
