Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1811: Chapter 755: Candou Platform’s Transformation (Double Chapter)

The main reason is that the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch from the Imperial Palace will be arriving soon, so many accumulated cases need to be sorted out, and numerous major case dossiers must be re-examined to ensure nothing is overlooked.

If any errors are found by the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch from the Imperial Palace, resulting in a ’neutral’ rating, not only will the Dao Palace face repercussions, but True Monarch Tianzhang will also be implicated, and I might not be able to hold my position as Hall Master of the Punishment Hall for long.

Therefore, we must prepare thoroughly to avoid any mistakes being discovered," Zhu Linxiao said.

"Heavenly Patrol True Monarch?" Xu Jin asked, somewhat confused.

"Husband, he is a True Monarch sent by the Tongxuan Imperial Palace to inspect various Star Realms, somewhat like a Special Envoy we dispatch from the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion to our subordinate Star Domains.

However, compared to them, our dispatched Special Envoys hold more power, life and death at their discretion, acting as they please.

Whereas the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch must operate within the established rules of the Imperial Palace and the various Star Realms. If they find no faults, they can’t create trouble unnecessarily," Zhu Linxiao explained.

Upon hearing this, a hint of paranoia flashed across Xu Jin’s mind, "Is this routine, or random?

Or is it more of a surprise attack?"

"Husband, it can’t be considered random or a surprise attack; it’s barely routine.

Usually, the Imperial Palace conducts inspections of major Star Realms every ten years, but it’s not on a fixed schedule. Eight years have passed since the last inspection, so this one is within the expected range," Zhu Linxiao said.

Xu Jin nodded slightly, feeling a bit relieved but still asked, "Which True Monarch is coming? It’s not the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment, is it?"

Xu Jin was still somewhat worried, although the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment didn’t recognize him or notice him, the traits he possesses now are quite distinct.

A genius so powerful at the Eighth Tier is very rare.

This is also why Xu Jin wants to quickly improve his cultivation level and break through to the Ninth Tier.

Breaking through to the Ninth Tier, though still noticeable, won’t draw attention like the Eighth Tier does.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Linxiao glanced at Xu Jin and gently shook her head, "Husband, I’ve subtly inquired with my colleagues at the Imperial Palace’s Punishment Hall; it’s not the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment. Currently, the battle with the Eight Desolate Clan is intense, and the Emperor wouldn’t move lightly. The combat power of the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment is extraordinary, so he won’t easily leave."

Xu Jin initially wanted to ask if the visitor had any relation to the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment?

But he thought better of it and remained silent.

Adding unnecessary worries.

The visiting Heavenly Patrol True Monarch will surely be connected to the central Tongxuan Imperial Palace, and the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment being the foremost True Monarch war general under Emperor Dongxuan, is likely to have some connection.

However, given this association, Xu Jin must remain cautious.

After pondering, Xu Jin asked again, "You previously mentioned that old Bixuan has been causing trouble for you, trying to remove you from your position as Hall Master of the Punishment Hall. Is there any chance of that happening this time?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Linxiao paused slightly, then said, "This is also the reason I’ve been particularly busy recently!

Normally, the affairs of the Punishment Hall are handled poorly, but major cases come from the thousands of worlds under the jurisdiction of various Star Realms. If someone is undermining from within and an insider reveals them, it would be difficult to say.

However, rest assured, husband, I’ve been thoroughly reviewing significant cases from recent years, especially those related to Bixuan, to eliminate potential risks.

No worries."

"Hmm, I trust you."

Xu Jin nodded gently, then handed over a token, "Here, keep this. It should come in handy when it matters."

"This..."

The Eldest Princess Zhu Linxiao, who had been casually massaging Xu Jin’s foot, initially didn’t pay much attention, but upon seeing the token, her gaze intensified, and her beautiful eyes widened sharply. If her composure were enough, she might have almost exclaimed.

"Tongxuan Holy Order?

Husband, this.....where did you get this?" Zhu Linxiao’s delighted eyebrows quivered with surprise.

"Just tell me if it’s useful for you or not?" Xu Jin smiled.

"It’s useful, definitely very useful! But, I can’t take it. This should be left in your possession!

If husband encounters the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment, before being found, use this Holy Order to become an Imperial Palace Saint Heir.

Once granted the status of an Imperial Palace Saint Heir, even the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment wouldn’t dare act against husband arbitrarily," Zhu Linxiao said.

"You hold onto it first!

I should be able to gain the status of Imperial Palace Saint Heir, but not right now," Xu Jin said.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Linxiao didn’t insist further and obediently accepted the Tongxuan Holy Order.

"Since husband mentioned it, then I shall keep it for now!

I’ve realized that our Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion possesses only one Tongxuan Holy Order, and only our Yutang Royal Mansion knows about it, but outsiders are unaware!

Just by flashing this treasure without using it, I can exert enough deterrence to ensure a relatively fair treatment!

It’s more than adequate as my protective amulet.

Husband is truly resourceful!" Zhu Linxiao’s eyes suddenly gleamed.

*****

On July 17, inside the Ritual Officer Mansion, Xu Jin, who had just comprehended one Space Heaven and Earth Star Will, was about to further stimulate the Space Dao Enlightenment Stone to invoke the Space Heaven and Earth Star Will for comprehension when the Enlightenment Stone floating before him suddenly and silently crumbled into powder.

Xu Jin’s expression froze slightly, feeling a sense of loss.

All three Space Enlightenment Stones have been used up.

The effect was truly remarkable, successfully allowing Xu Jin to comprehend twelve Space Heaven and Earth Star Wills.

The comprehension effect was slightly inferior to that of the Thunder Element Enlightenment Stone, but still very strong.

This directly allowed Xu Jin’s Candou Platform’s Space Law Stars to reach the threshold for transformation.

[Space Law: Ninth Tier (99)]

After so much effort, the Space Law Stars on the Candou Platform can finally transform.

The ethereal essence previously exchanged from the Thousand Star Token can finally be utilized.
