Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1679: Chapter 689: Floating World Reflection Illusion Realm_2

This is no longer a mere shameless act.

It’s downright brazen.

Yet, there’s nothing they can do about it, as the rules are set by them.

"I understand, I will do my best."

Having said that, Xu Jin patted Yutang King Zhu Shizhen on the shoulder, and then instantly stepped onto the stars, heading towards the Illusion Realm Star Gate beneath Yuanling True Monarch’s activated True Monarch Killing Weapon.

The rules are simple.

In this Floating World Illusion Realm of Yuanling True Monarch, lasting for more than an hour counts as passing, thus becoming the Daoist disciple of Dongxuan Dao Palace.

The longer one holds on, the higher their ranking.

Rankings are determined by the duration of perseverance.

Only the top three receive special rewards. From fourth to tenth place, each receives a piece of Lifebound Spiritual Treasure material.

To be honest, Xu Jin was eager to obtain the Yin-Yang Star Marrow awarded to the first place.

It has two special functions; the first is to strengthen the Divine Soul Origin, which is crucial for Xu Jin.

Currently, Xu Jin’s Spiritual Platform Star Skill can only slowly restore his damaged Divine Soul Origin. Previously, in Kunling Domain, for erecting the Divine Statue, he divided his Divine Soul Origin a total of thirty times.

Although spaced apart, each time he had to use the Spiritual Platform Star Skill and Divine Dao Golden Pearl for recovery, and only after recovering sufficiently would he divide the Divine Soul Origin to erect the Divine Statue.

But inevitably, his Divine Soul Origin was still damaged, the kind of damage that affects the upper limit.

This was the price for acquiring the Divine Dao Golden Pearl.

Fortunately, he possessed the Spiritual Platform Star Skill; for ordinary people, their Divine Soul would have shattered long ago.

Now, seeing a treasure that could strengthen the Divine Soul Origin, how could one not be tempted?

On the contrary, the second special function of the Yin-Yang Star Marrow, although more precious, is not as important to Xu Jin.

Others only have six or seven Sword Essences, which means they can only cultivate six or seven Divine Skills in the future. Being able to add one more Sword Essence now and cultivate one more Divine Skill is naturally invaluable to them.

But Xu Jin already possesses twelve Sword Essences.

Of course, having one more has its own benefits.

No one finds having more Divine Skills to be a bad thing.

"I can only do my best to try..."

In the next instant, according to Yuanling True Monarch’s instructions, Xu Jin swiftly flew into the Floating World Illusion Realm formed by the True Monarch Killing Weapon.

The moment he passed through the portal of the Floating World Illusion Realm, Xu Jin suddenly sensed three overwhelmingly powerful True Monarch auras emanating from the portal.

He instantly comprehended everything.

True Monarch Tianzhang and True Monarch Bixuan also did not fully trust Yuanling True Monarch, so they intervened in this examination.

However, the primary operator, naturally, was still Yuanling True Monarch.

In this situation, Zhu Shizhen’s concerns were fundamentally justified.

Starlight changed before Xu Jin’s eyes, and at the moment of stepping in, he seemed to see countless figures sitting cross-legged on the ground.

But upon landing, everything around him turned into pure darkness.

It was as if he was trapped in an endless dark space, completely cut off from the outside world and the Sumeru Space.

The Mingji Star Pattern he extended detected nothing but boundless darkness.

Xu Jin knew he was now in an Illusion Realm completely under the control of Yuanling True Monarch, and all he could do now was quietly await the examination.

"The examination begins."

In the next instant, as a voice entered Xu Jin’s mind, countless stars in the endless darkness around him turned into real light and shadow.

Before him stood an enchanting beauty clad only in diaphanous gauze, her mysterious, elusive dance moves captivating with a single glance and stirring one’s blood.

Xu Jin felt himself lying in the arms of two scantily clad young girls, surrounded by several other exquisite maidens. Their soft hands were caressing Xu Jin’s skin, bringing about a shivering sensation.

The feeling was incredibly real.

Xu Jin, maintaining his Taoist Embryo, closed his eyes instantly.

But even with his eyes closed, the picture of this intense fancifulness seemed to burrow directly into his mind, making Xu Jin’s breath grow heavy.

It was too real.

Suddenly, a warm, moist sensation touched his lips, as the lead dancer used her petite mouth to offer a grape to Xu Jin’s lips, her high bosom falling into Xu Jin’s view.

Such alluring whiteness was incredibly tempting.

At that instant, Xu Jin’s body had its own reaction.

But immediately, Xu Jin swiftly activated the Spiritual Platform Star Skill.

In one moment, the image rooted in Xu Jin’s mind disappeared entirely.

But if he opened his eyes, the scene would be enough to make one gasp and lose all reason.

Cautiously, Xu Jin kept his eyes shut, activating the Spiritual Platform Star Skill, and quietly holding fast to the Taoist Embryo.

"Staying like this, holding on for an hour shouldn’t be difficult."

Suddenly, a sweet and indescribable fragrance filled Xu Jin’s nostrils, and just a whiff stirred a primal urge deep within Xu Jin’s heart for gratification.

Xu Jin quickly closed off his mouth, ears, and nose.

Yet, mysteriously, that indescribable sweetness still shot straight into Xu Jin’s mind, causing an uncontrollable impulse.

Even so, with the Spiritual Platform Star Skill operating, Xu Jin’s mind remained exceptionally clear.

Instantly understanding that it wasn’t something he was inhaling, but a specific power that could directly influence his Divine Soul.

Suddenly, Xu Jin recalled the Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror he had previously refined; why not give it a try?

In the next moment, a flash of divine light from Xu Jin’s Daoist Embryo Sword Essence, and a golden shimmering Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror appeared before Xu Jin.

With just a slight activation, the moment the mirror flashed, the sweet and alluring fragrance that swarmed his Divine Soul and caused reckless impulses vanished entirely.

From the Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror, a pink glow emerged, an addition of the Power of Desire from the Seven Emotions.

The next second, the sweet scent reached Xu Jin’s nostrils again.

The Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror flashed with golden light, and the sweet scent vanished.

From the Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror, another strand of the Power of Desire emerged.

One after another.

In no time at all, these strands of the Power of Desire culminated in ten strands.

But simultaneously, Xu Jin’s sensation shifted dramatically.

Hunger!

A hunger as if he hadn’t eaten for ten days.

The next moment, the aroma of food came.

Xu Jin’s mind stirred, activating the Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror again, and before the illusion formed, the aroma dissipated.

From the Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror, another strand of Desire emerged.

One after another appeared, and Xu collected them one after the other!

Not long after, the incoming Power of the Seven Emotions changed, turning into Grief.

But Xu Jin collected it without objection.

...

Above Dongxuan Dao Palace, the Floating World Reflection Heart Lamp, although operated by Yuanling True Monarch, also had the powers of True Monarch Tianzhang and True Monarch Bixuan infused into it, with Yuanling True Monarch’s consent, activating it.

Countless strands of the Power of the Seven Emotions continuously surged in and out, as illusions constantly lived and died.

Some persisted, some were eliminated.

Yet, no one noticed the reduction in the Power of the Seven Emotions.

For one, because of the interference among the three True Monarchs’ powers, and secondly, having loss was normal.

Occasionally, the three True Monarchs each glanced at their respective descendants.

Even though the rankings had already been predetermined, what if?

What if their descendants performed excellently and took first place?

With destiny undecided, their descendants could each be the dark horse racing to the top!
