Chapter 1709: Chapter 705: Maximizing Advantages (Part 2)
Especially Ji Hongli—relying on the eight-star Spiritual Treasure Xu Jin left behind, she can tank even Ninth Tier attacks without a problem.
As for Ning Yuchan, her strength goes without saying.
Eighth Tier Cultivation Level, Ninth Tier Combat Power.
She has now already started refining the Acquired Geng Metal Dao Body; once it’s completed, even if she doesn’t break through to the Ninth Tier, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao probably won’t be her match.
And Ning Yuchan is, in Xu Jin’s estimation, the first Expert in the Kunling Domain who can break through to Star Lord, and even has hope of reaching True Monarch.
As for State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao, Elder Peng, the Wood Spirit Palace Master and the others—although they are already Ninth Tier, because of their foundations, they may still hope to reach Star Lord in the future, but they can forget about True Monarch.
The second genius with hope of becoming a True Monarch is Jiang’er.
The main reason is that her foundation is simply too well laid.
Of course, saying now that Jiang’er has hopes of becoming a True Monarch in the future is still far too early, after all Jiang’er’s current Cultivation Level is only at the Fourth Tier Ninth Layer Peak.
The reason she hasn’t broken through is because, according to Xu Jin’s request, she has been constantly refining Star Cores.
He doesn’t dare guarantee the new path, but the genius path Xu Jin has already walked, Jiang’er can walk through once more.
Condensing and casting at least seventy-two Star Cores in the Central and Lower Star Palace—this is Xu Jin’s minimum requirement.
It’s a pity Xu Jin can’t go back right now; otherwise, if he went back and stayed just a dozen days, the overall strength of Kunling Domain would jump up another whole level!
Ji Hongli and the others had finally managed to get in touch with Xu Jin, and one after another poured out their longing for him.
While they were chatting, the Thousand Star Token flashed with Starlight—it was a Starlight Transmission from his master, Emperor Fenghua.
As for the second question Xu Jin had asked about sub-towers and Lifebound Spiritual Treasures, Emperor Fenghua had also given his answer.
[Sub-towers, you must build sub-towers. This is called maximizing your advantage!]
This was the definite opinion given by Emperor Fenghua.
Others don’t know Xu Jin’s situation, but he does.
One hundred and eight Heaven and Earth Cloud Towers also means Xu Jin’s upper limit for sub-towers is one hundred and eight.
If he builds eight sub-towers, then Xu Jin’s Star Power will be eight times, or even sixteen times, that of an ordinary cultivator.
Taking Lu Zhen, whom Xu Jin had mentioned, as an example: his Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower has fifty-seven layers, and he’s known to have built two sub-towers.
Setting aside previous advantages in Cultivation Level, if Xu Jin forges eight sub-towers, then on the Eighth Tier alone his Star Power will be eight times that of Lu Zhen.
The key point is, if other people want this kind of advantage, they don’t even have a way to get it.
Because their Heaven and Earth Cloud Towers have only forty or fifty layers; their upper limit is only that much.
But Xu Jin’s upper limit reaches as high as one hundred and eight layers.
Not using such an advantage would just be stupid.
As for the Tao Rules needed to refine eight Star Tower sub-towers, Emperor Fenghua felt that with Xu Jin’s ultra-high comprehension, the time lost would not be much.
As for the secret of the Candou Platform, this is Xu Jin’s ultimate top secret, and he did not tell his master Emperor Fenghua.
As for whether, after building eight Star Tower sub-towers and breaking through to the Ninth Tier, he should then refine eight Lifebound Spiritual Treasures, Emperor Fenghua also gave clear instructions.
He felt Xu Jin was overthinking!
Problems of the Ninth Tier can be left until after he actually reaches the Ninth Tier.
Besides, who said that having eight Star Tower sub-towers means you must refine eight Lifebound Spiritual Treasures?
When the time comes, if Treasure Materials are insufficient, just focus on refining the main combat pieces.
As long as the foundation is there, you can even patch-refine later.
But if you don’t have the foundation, then no matter how many Treasure Materials you get in the future, they’re only wealth, not Combat Power!
[Many thanks for your guidance, Master, I’ve troubled you! Master, there is one more thing: after I became a Dao Viscount, I’ve been receiving First-class Dao Viscount treatment, and I discovered that the All Heaven Star Dew given by Dongxuan Dao Palace has an extremely powerful cultivation effect.
Just one drop can equal three months of my painstaking cultivation!
If I had a certain quantity of All Heaven Star Dew, my Cultivation Level should be able to quickly rise to the Eighth Tier Late Period or even the Peak. That way, I would have a certain degree of self-preservation over here.
But the amount they give is very limited. I don’t know if the Thousand Star Alliance or you, Master, have any channels for obtaining Star Dew.] Xu Jin asked.
This was his last question.
All Heaven Star Dew is extremely important to him at the moment.
Xu Jin is currently at the Eighth Tier Early Period; in front of a Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch he has the ability to preserve his life. If his Cultivation Level could rise and break through to the Eighth Tier Late Period or even the Peak, then in front of a Great Star Monarch he would have the power to preserve his life and even to fight.
In the Imperial Palace, Emperor Fenghua looked at the Starlight Transmission sent by Xu Jin and smiled. [Looks like this "fleece-shearing" plan of mine really is pretty good; it actually let you directly obtain the extremely precious All Heaven Star Dew from Dongxuan Dao Palace. On my side, I’ve also prepared All Heaven Star Dew for you—three drops a year. I’ll first give you all of them at once...]
Emperor Fenghua was just about to send this Starlight Transmission when he was suddenly moved; his Divine Thought stirred, and part of the message disappeared, the latter half being replaced with different content.
[Oh? How much All Heaven Star Dew does Dongxuan Dao Palace’s current First-class Dao Viscount treatment provide each year? Tell me the exact situation so I can take a look.]
Receiving the Starlight Transmission from his master Emperor Fenghua, Xu Jin thought nothing of it and directly sent over the details of the First-class Dao Viscount treatment, then added at the end, [Master, you truly are brilliant. Not to mention anything else, just these two batches of True Monarch Blood Crystal and the two opportunities to comprehend the Emperor’s Dao Secret Realm alone are an absolute windfall.]
What Xu Jin didn’t expect was that, the instant Emperor Fenghua saw his Starlight Transmission, his hand trembled slightly.
"Fortunately... fortunately!"
Inside the Imperial Palace, while feeling relieved, Emperor Fenghua also wore a wry smile.
He felt he’d somewhat hoisted a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
Previously, he’d also prepared All Heaven Star Dew for Xu Jin.
Three drops a year.
But now, seeing the treatment Xu Jin was receiving from Dongxuan Dao Palace—five drops a year, and on top of that, other Cultivation Materials, each one a precious resource.
He is far away, and some resources like True Monarch Blood Crystal are things Xu Jin temporarily can’t use anyway.
But this All Heaven Star Dew—his disciple already brought it up.
In that instant, even someone as formidable as Emperor Fenghua felt a wisp of unease rise in his heart.
He was afraid that in the end, the disciple he’d painstakingly poured in a tremendous price to cultivate would get poached away by someone else.
That would be a huge loss!
Where could he ever find another disciple like this!
"The Cultivation Resources I provide as a teacher—if not more, they absolutely can’t be less. Especially since this child isn’t by my side; if he were, that would be easier to handle..."
Muttering to himself, Emperor Fenghua made up his mind.
[Jin’er, I’ve also prepared All Heaven Star Dew for you on my side—six drops a year. I’ve already prepared two years’ worth for you. Find some time and pick a safe location, and I’ll send it to you together with the Treasure Materials and treasures for refining Divine Skills.]
[Many thanks, Master. Master, you really are too good to your Disciple; I don’t even know how to thank you enough!]
Seeing Xu Jin’s reply, Emperor Fenghua smiled faintly, feeling slightly comforted in his old heart. Knowing gratitude is enough.
[You and I, master and disciple, already share the greatest karmic bond under Heaven and Earth; there’s no need for such words.] Emperor Fenghua said.
[Right, Master—how is this All Heaven Star Dew produced?] Xu Jin asked curiously.
In fact, this was the question Xu Jin most wanted to ask.
Rather than obtaining it bit by bit from others, it would be better to find the source and then obtain as much as possible.
After all, what Xu Jin requires is not just ten or eight drops of All Heaven Star Dew.
Now that his master Emperor Fenghua had already confirmed his cultivation path—eight Star Tower sub-towers, forge as many as he can.
He must maximize the advantage of his Heaven and Earth Cloud Towers.
Eight Star Tower sub-towers, over eight hundred layers—at the rate of one drop of All Heaven Star Dew to refine three layers of Star Tower, he would need nearly three hundred drops.
At present, Dongxuan Dao Palace and Yutang Royal Mansion together give him fourteen drops a year, plus another six drops from his master, making twenty drops a year.
For the accelerated cultivation Xu Jin wants, this is still far from enough.
So he wants to know the source.
[Jin’er, that’s complicated. All Heaven Star Dew is extremely precious. The necessary foundational condition is a fully grown Star River Island—and that’s just the basic condition. Usually only great powers and sects with ancient inheritances have one.
One of the reasons I took up the role of Alliance Hierarch of the Thousand Star Alliance was simply to obtain All Heaven Star Dew.
This is still not something you can come into contact with or concern yourself about at your current stage.]
After hearing this, Xu Jin could only feel helpless.
A fully grown Star River Island?
His Star River Island is still a long way from fully grown.
In the short term, it’s impossible.
[Thank you for your guidance, Master.]
[Hurry and find a suitable transmission location. Best not within this Great World of the Dongxuan Star Realm—find some Middle World or Small World, because the commotion when transmitting is still rather large. If something goes wrong, it’s easy for someone to intercept, and it will also easily expose you.] Emperor Fenghua instructed.
[Master, your Disciple understands.]
[Mm. If anything urgent comes up, contact me through your ancestor‑master, You Yu.]
Even though each contact would cost him a month, as this exchange drew to a close, Emperor Fenghua still reminded him once more.
As for the price he paid, he simply never mentioned it to Xu Jin.
[Rest assured, Master, I will!]
Xu Jin also let out a sigh of relief. His cultivation direction was now completely clear; next, he just needed to work hard on his Cultivation and keep improving himself.
