Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1662: Chapter 682: A Misjudgment?

At the same instant, Xu Jin felt he had lost contact with his Nine Heavens Thunder God Seal.

The Law’s Heavenly Road prohibits external objects; at the moment of embarking on it, all external objects are screened out.

Yet, Xu Jin felt a slight movement in his heart. His Candou Platform’s Law Stars were still connected and could even be enhanced at any time.

This raised a question in Xu Jin’s mind: is his Candou Platform an external object, or part of himself?

Or perhaps an even more sophisticated external object?

Before Xu Jin could ponder further, Thunder Light already spread under his feet.

What astonished Xu Jin was that the Thunder Light spreading beneath his feet carried not a trace of Star Power; it was a purely Thunder Element Heaven and Earth Star Will.

This aspect, Xu Jin was too familiar with.

Back when Xu Jin was in Kunling Domain, he harvested vast quantities of various Heaven and Earth Star Will, which forged his current Candou Platform.

Xu Jin’s delight quickly turned into disappointment.

This influx of Thunder Element Heaven and Earth Star Will was possessed!

Its possessor was immensely powerful.

At the instant of Divine Thought contact, it appeared as immovable as a mountain, unable to be collected.

Meanwhile, Xu Jin also understood the ascending requirements of the Law’s Heavenly Road.

Here, you can’t use Star Power; you can only use your Divine Soul Power to activate the Thunder Series Tao Rules you’ve grasped.

Either endure to ascend or assimilate to ascend.

To endure means that you don’t comprehend the current Thunder Element Heaven and Earth Star Will, but you possess an equivalent level of Thunder Element Heaven and Earth Star Will, allowing you to endure it and ascend.

Assimilation to ascend is when you happen to have already comprehended the Thunder Element Heaven and Earth Star Will before you; as long as you initiate it slightly, the two identical Thunder Element Heaven and Earth Star Wills will assimilate, enabling easy ascension.

Therefore, this level only tests one’s talent regarding Tao Rules.

And this initial step of Thunder Series Law’s Heavenly Road reveals a Thunder Element Heaven and Earth Star Will that Xu Jin has never seen or understood.

Xu Jin instinctively wanted to initiate the Thunder Element Heaven and Earth Star Will he had comprehended and endure the ascent.

The Thunder Law Stars on his Candou Platform represent Xu Jin’s attainments in the Thunder Series; although they haven’t transformed into Great World Origin Stars, they’ve already approached the pinnacle of Middle World Law Stars.

Enduring such a tiny Thunder Element Heaven and Earth Star Will is a piece of cake for Xu Jin!

But just as Xu Jin initiated the Thunder Series Laws within him, lifting his left foot, intending to step forward, he suddenly paused.

His left foot hovered in mid-air.

"There should be a third way to pass this Law’s Heavenly Road."

Xu Jin suddenly realized.

The third way to pass is through comprehension.

This Law’s Heavenly Road presents each Thunder Element Heaven and Earth Star transparently and simply in front of all Marquis Dao Candidates, akin to an exam.

Both the questions and the problem-solving process are laid out for you.

If you can understand it, you can naturally write down each step’s answer, and then the final answer.

The examination of the Law’s Heavenly Road resembles this.

Among All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, Tao Rules are innumerable, and the Dao is limitless.

Each person’s Dao length is based on the composition of these innumerable Tao Rules.

Now, this Tao Rule is virtually at Xu Jin’s fingertips!

In the next moment, Xu Jin’s lifted left foot fell back onto the first step of the Thunder Series Law’s Heavenly Road, with Starlight flashing inside his Daoist Embryo’s Spirit Platform; the Thunder Law Stars on the Candou Platform radiated brilliantly. Xu Jin stood on the first step of the Thunder Series Law’s Heavenly Road, naturally comprehending this Thunder Element Heaven and Earth Star Will.

On the Thunder Series Law’s Heavenly Road, some were extremely determined, step by step climbing.

Some fell, and others easily crossed the Tenth Rank Law’s Heavenly Road, moving forward to the deeper areas.

The situation on the Law’s Heavenly Road was crystal clear to the spectators before the Xuandao Hall.

However, not many people paid attention to Xu Jin. Those who could come to the Xuandao Hall were the dignitaries of the Dongxuan Star Realm, each naturally focusing on their family’s juniors.

Of course, there were those who did pay attention to Xu Jin.

For instance, Yutang King Zhu Shizhen, and further back, the Eldest Princess of the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion, Zhu Linxiao, who wore a veiled straw hat.

Despite Zhu Shizhen not appearing very formal in front of Xu Jin, he was still methodical in his actions. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to govern the Yutang Royal Mansion.

As a brother-in-law, he was only occasionally flirtatious in front of Xu Jin.

But in reality, he had already begun handling this matter.

He directly discussed it with his sister, analyzed a lot, and talked a lot.

Of course, being the Tenth Rank Star Monarch and the Eldest Princess of the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion, Zhu Linxiao wouldn’t marry just because Zhu Shizhen asked her to.

Of course, she also knew well that her brother wasn’t the type to act recklessly.

So, she made a special effort to come over today to see Xu Jin’s performance.

For top-tier dignitaries at her level, many times marriage weighs heavily on value and interests; if it can simultaneously align with a bit of liking or love, that’s a blessing.

So the gaze of Zhu Linxiao occasionally fell on Xu Jin.

Her expression was also quite expectant.

But as time passed, whether it was Yutang King Zhu Shizhen or Zhu Linxiao, their gazes became somewhat strange.

Just the first tier of the Thunder Series Law’s Heavenly Road, most crossed within ten breaths.

Those top geniuses were even more akin to strolling, easily crossing it.

But this Xu Jin, this so-called absolute genius that her brother speaks of, had already been standing motionless on the first tier of the Thunder Series Law’s Heavenly Road for 15 minutes.

minutes!

The first tier already took 15 minutes; wouldn’t the tenth tier take two hours, or even two or three hours?

Given this situation, not to mention reaching the top, even securing a place in the top ten or top hundred seemed unlikely.

Or rather, even becoming a Daoist Candidate seemed uncertain.

The difficulty behind is exponential in its increase.

This Law’s Heavenly Road is something Zhu Linxiao has passed through.

Not far away, Zhu Shizhen’s face also turned as sour as a citrus.

It’s completely a situation he didn’t anticipate.

He imagined Xu Jin galloping ahead, stepping a tier at a time, even envisioned Xu Jin stepping three tiers directly to the summit.

But unexpectedly, Xu Jin got stuck at the first tier.

At this moment, Xu Jin also became the prominent figure on the entire Law’s Heavenly Road.

Aside from a few eliminated Marquis Dao Candidates, on the eight Law’s Heavenly Roads, only Xu Jin remained stuck on the first tier.

[Your Highness, I may have misjudged. Please pardon my error! That Xu Jin, after stepping on the first tier of the Thunder Series Law’s Heavenly Road, hasn’t progressed for 15 minutes.] Outside the Xuandao Hall, Zheng Yi from Bixuan Royal Mansion monitoring Xu Jin secretly wore a distressed expression.

Already reporting this discovery early.

Originally thought he’d achieve something.

Unexpectedly, it almost got him into trouble!

[No worries, keep an eye on Zhu Shizhen.]

Seeing the response from Prince Bixuan, Zheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, grateful the prince didn’t blame him.

At the same time, the distressed Zhu Shizhen received a Starlight Transmission from his sister Zhu Linxiao, [Shizhen, is this the absolute genius you said could be my brother-in-law?]
