Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1847: Chapter 774: Breaking Through to the Ninth Tier

Su Xuan also refused the invitation from the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu, which was somewhat unexpected for Xu Jin.

However, thinking the other way around, in this conflict, True Monarch Tianzhang clearly stood with Xu Jin, so it wouldn’t be possible for True Monarch Tianzhang to send their top talent over.

Noble families often pursue more certainty.

But this also represents a closer relationship between the Tianzhang the Su Family and Xu Jin, and with Yutang the Zhu Family.

At the same time, Xu Jin owes a favor to True Monarch Tianzhang for this matter.

From the post-event details, it was learned that if True Monarch Tianzhang had initially agreed to the request of the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu, and then ordered Xu Jin and the other Dao children to go to Xuanxin Mountain to cultivate, would Xu Jin have had any chance to refuse?

No!

The Emperor’s Heavenly Order is not omnipotent!

Using it to counter events with obvious personal motives from the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu is acceptable.

But using the Heavenly Order to counter normal Dao Palace orders.

Believe it or not, if the Emperor knew, he would kill Xu Jin with a slap across space.

The Heavenly Order represents opportunity, identity, and fairness, but absolutely doesn’t represent privilege.

Therefore, upon learning that Su Xuan refused the invitation from the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu, Xu Jin sent a sincere thank-you Starlight Transmission to True Monarch Tianzhang.

This is expressing a stance.

Expressing that Xu Jin is grateful and will repay in the future.

As for how to repay in the future, it depends on how Xu Jin acts later on; any other promises now won’t fool an old fox like True Monarch Tianzhang.

But then again, cooperating with such an old fox is quite satisfying.

Whether making supportive comments or promoting him, it’s all very timely and well done.

As Xu Jin predicted, the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu, full of anger, vented his frustration while inspecting the Punishment Hall.

A normal inspection of a hall takes one or two days, but Ding Moqiu spent over three days examining the Punishment Hall under Zhu Linxiao, like sifting through with a fine-tooth comb.

This matches the old saying that anyone who does work is bound to make mistakes.

Indeed, Ding Moqiu found dozens of flaws or issues from various Punishment Hall dossiers.

After all, when handling cases, perfection is impossible.

But there were no major problems.

In the end, Ding Moqiu gave the Hall Master Zhu Linxiao a middle-lower evaluation.

Rank evaluations for officials in the Tongxuan Domain are divided into three categories and nine levels: upper-upper, upper-middle, upper-lower, middle-upper, middle-middle, middle-lower, lower-upper, lower-middle, lower-lower.

If one is rated in the lower category, they must either resign or be demoted.

This evaluation was full of malice.

Nevertheless, it’s not like the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch can cloak everything; if the local authorities encourage this, it’s as if they’ve gained another master?

This evaluation was blocked by True Monarch Tianzhang - there have been no major faults, only minor flaws, so if it’s not rewarded, fine, but who would dare to work under a middle-lower evaluation?

In the end, the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu revised Zhu Linxiao’s evaluation to middle-lower!

This evaluation doesn’t require demotion or reassignment, but at least for five to ten years, upgrading is impossible.

While this had little immediate impact on Yutang the Zhu Family, it disgusted Xu Jin.

This guy’s actions are even more annoying than the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment.

Xu Jin secretly noted this incident while continuing to focus on cultivation.

Strength is the priority.

Power is strength, but strength can also be power!

Several days in a row, Xu Jin was devoted to arduous cultivation.

Even when people like Yuan Chengfa, Lu Zhen, Xie Hui, and Li Qingchen left with the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu, Xu Jin did not bid farewell.

Focused solely on arduous cultivation.

September 6, Tongxuan Star Realm.

The True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment prepared a welcome for the returning Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu on behalf of the Emperor.

Naturally, he got the answer he wanted!

"It seems that this Xu Jin is the one I’ve been looking for." Actually, during the previous major investigation, the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment was already 80% certain that Xu Jin was the one who seized his Chaos Elemental Materials and killed several of his capable subordinates.

The characteristics were too obvious.

Eighth Tier Peak, specializing in Space and Thunder Series, with outstanding combat power, young.

If it were Ninth Tier, it would be hard to find, but Eighth Tier, it’s too easy.

Coincidentally, Xu Jin had achieved incredible war merits on Dongxuan Island, and naturally the target was locked on Xu Jin.

However, asking the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch to help confirm Xu Jin’s identity was secondary; the primary goal was to hope to bring Xu Jin back.

As long as Xu Jin became Ding Moqiu’s subordinate, handling it would be easy – dying in battle among frontline troops is all too normal.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu’s face showed a trace of guilt, "My lord, it’s my failure that I couldn’t bring this kid back; instead, I brought back a few burdens."

"It’s not your fault!

Before, I didn’t expect that Tianzhang would care so much for this child.

And none of us expected this child to have a Heavenly Order in his possession." The True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment had no choice but to console Ding Moqiu.

"Indeed, without the Heavenly Order, even with Tianzhang’s obstruction, I could have brought him back for a while! By the way, what did the child do to make the lord so angry?" The Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu asked casually.

The True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment pointed to his forehead, "My Divine Skills are about to reach Great Success, and there’s a Thunder Series Innate Treasure Material with special attributes that I’ve had my eyes on for several years, but didn’t expect this kid took it and killed several of my Star Lords."

Upon hearing this, Ding Moqiu’s face changed, "Isn’t it the ones who reported dead in battle, like Star Monarch Ba Chengfeng and the others recently?"
