Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1659: Chapter 681: Heavenly Road of Law

Dongxuan Star Realm, Bixuan True Monarch’s Royal Mansion.

The actual ruler of Bixuan Royal Mansion, Crown Prince Lu Changyan, sat in the study without saying a word, but inside the study, six family retainers were kneeling with their heads touching the ground, not daring to move.

The atmosphere was almost stagnant!

Slam!

Crown Prince Bixuan, Lu Changyan smashed the investigation results provided by the six family retainers onto their foreheads, shattering the jade scroll, yet the six retainers did not dare move.

Even though three retainers had cultivation levels already at the Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch.

They still did not dare move.

"Three days!

This is all you give me after three days?

Huang’er died from a Gu beast assault?

All his subordinates also died in battle?

Do you think I’m stupid?

Or do you think I am easily fooled?" Lu Changyan yelled angrily.

In this election, his legitimate son Lu Huang was almost certainly going to become a Marquis candidate.

Yet unexpectedly, he was gone.

The most infuriating part was, after three days of investigation, no results were discovered.

Especially since it’s absolutely impossible for him to be harmed by Gu beasts when carrying the Gu Mother Dragon Bone Flute.

"Your Highness, in fact, I have found another piece of information, but there is no evidence and the suspect cannot be investigated," reported Zheng Yi, a retainer with a cultivation level of Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch.

"Continue!"

"Your Highness, a competitor who had been eliminated said he had seen the Crown Prince’s grandson before. At that time, the Crown Prince’s grandson had three Ninth Rank masters around him, seemingly without much danger, so he didn’t stay long.

But soon after, he saw another group of people." Zheng Yi replied.

"Who?"

"Yutang King Zhu Shizhen, the very Zhu Shizhen who directly became a Daoist candidate after slaying the Gu mother.

This person did not know Zhu Shizhen, but when Zhu Shizhen was directly announced by the Dao Palace as a Daoist candidate, projecting the announcement everywhere, he recognized him.

At that time, Zhu Shizhen was probably less than a thousand miles away from my family’s Crown Prince grandson." Zheng Yi said.

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Bixuan Lu Changyan’s expression subtly changed.

Some things, only he knew.

Like the Gu Mother Dragon Bone Flute, like letting Lu Huang find an opportunity to eliminate Zhu Shizhen, so they could plot the foundation of the Jade Hall True Monarch’s mansion.

Originally, he had his suspicions about Zhu Shizhen, but he wasn’t firm about it.

But at this moment, just this one clue linked the entire matter together.

"Investigate!"

"At any cost, investigate the mystery of Yutang King Zhu Shizhen slaying the Gu mother." Lu Changyan instructed.

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Even if the Gu mother stands still for Zhu Shizhen to hack for three days and nights, he wouldn’t kill it.

There must be an expert assisting him.

And within the Gu Raising Domain, if Huang’er had gathered at least three Ninth Rank subordinates, then those capable of killing him would be extremely few.

The expert who helped Yutang King Zhu Shizhen slay the Gu mother is the most suspicious.

Investigate!

Dare to cut off my Bixuan Royal Mansion’s bloodline, I will exterminate their nine clans." Lu Changyan declared.

"At your command."

Adults dislike making choices; they want it all.

This was Xu Jin’s primary thought after seeing the Yin Yang Soul Slaying Saber and Tai Xu Heart Inquiry Platform, both Divine Soul Divine Skills, given by Emperor Fenghua.

One is invincible in the same tier, the other has the potential to surpass great realms for self-preservation or even to kill.

However, after realizing the treasure materials and resources needed to cultivate these two Divine Soul Divine Skills, Xu Jin felt a bit embarrassed.

Having everything when one is capable, that’s called adult romance.

When incapable and relying solely on master Emperor Fenghua for cultivation resources, wanting everything is slightly thick-skinned.

And bluntly, it would be shameless.

Therefore, Xu Jin finally decided to first choose to cultivate one.

Anyway, the secret techniques and necessary treasure materials and resources, Emperor Fenghua had clearly listed for Xu Jin.

When there is a chance in the future, Xu Jin will collect enough treasure materials and resources himself and then cultivate the other.

Or perhaps after bringing reputation to the master Emperor Fenghua or repaying him, offering treasure materials and resources with dignity, then Xu Jin can request them with a clear conscience.

Xu Jin always believed that a good relationship, regardless of being monarch and minister, master and disciple, or other, must be mutual in pursuit and contribution.

Otherwise, it cannot last long.

Moreover, Divine Soul Divine Skills require time for cultivation, so first cultivate one.

Hence, before Xu Jin arrived at the Xuandao Hall amidst the gathering bell of Dongxuan Dao Palace, he made his decision.

Tai Xu Heart Inquiry Platform!

Start with this.

This was Xu Jin’s choice.

The reason was simple.

The Yin Yang Soul Slaying Saber focuses on Divine Soul slaughter, with formidable power, falling under the Dao of Slaughter.

However, in terms of function, it overlaps with some of Xu Jin’s other Star Skills.

Not to mention the Five Elements Star Skill, Xu Jin’s current strongest Seven Kill Sword Skill, Thunder Prison, including the ultimate killing move Star Shatter, are all incredibly powerful slaughter skills.

The slaughter potential of the Yin Yang Soul Slaying Saber as a Divine Soul Divine Skill may be stronger than these Star Skill killing moves, but likely not by much.

Master Emperor Fenghua already said, invincible in the same tier.

This same tier might refer to future Tenth Rank Star Monarch or even Eleventh Rank True Monarch.

After all, most people wishing to cultivate Divine Skills must be at the Peak of Ninth Rank or above Tenth Rank.

By contrast, Tai Xu Heart Inquiry Platform as a Divine Skill is more suitable for Xu Jin at present.

Because once this Divine Soul Divine Skill is cultivated, its power, especially in terms of life preservation, can penetrate the Star Skills Xu Jin currently knows.

In other words: Tai Xu Heart Inquiry Platform as a Divine Skill provides stronger life preservation in complex and dangerous situations.
