Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1861: Chapter 782: Unexpected Gains and Black Silk

Seeing the Divine Infant of the One Tribulation True Monarch before him completely turn to ashes, the heavy stone in Xu Jin’s heart finally settled.

His second plan and third plan were not needed.

However, this was not the time to relax yet.

Immediately, Xu Jin needed to draw out the Sumeru Space of this One Tribulation True Monarch.

The moment it was drawn out, even Xu Jin was taken aback.

This One Tribulation True Monarch had so many things, with a lot of shelves and the like, quite a meticulous person.

It’s just that Xu Jin primarily cultivates Space Law and often opens up Sumeru Space; otherwise, in someone else’s hands, these supplies wouldn’t fit.

Even so, after Xu Jin transferred all the items from this One Tribulation True Monarch’s Sumeru Space into his own, his Sumeru Space was completely filled.

Without any pause, Xu Jin dispersed the space cage he had previously deployed.

This was intended to trap the Divine Infant or remnant body of the One Tribulation True Monarch, but it wasn’t used.

With a thought, the Chaos Thunder Spear roared with several thunderbolts, exploding into a mass of firelight sweeping in all directions. The moment Xu Jin took a step forward, he had already disappeared in place.

With a slight spatial fluctuation, Xu Jin appeared on the teleportation array connected to the earth vein in the Treasure Light District. As ten Eighth-Order Star Jades flew out of his palm, the Tenth-Rank Great Star Monarch on duty silently opened the teleportation channel for Xu Jin.

They had seen many such people.

Most of them hurriedly left the Treasure Light District after buying or selling treasures to avoid being targeted by cultivators.

They always provided convenience to such cultivators.

Because this was an important source of income for the Treasure Light District, and also the reason why these watchmen could earn more doses of All Heaven Star Dew than those stationed elsewhere each year.

They must safeguard their source of benefits!

As for identity verification, it wasn’t needed!

The Treasure Light District, being a Middle World open for business, didn’t care where you came from; as long as you came, you would generate consumption, and as long as there wasn’t any trouble.

As for alien spies?

They weren’t even worried about that.

The Three Tribulation True Monarch inside the Treasure Light District, who commanded part of the Heaven and Earth Authority, was actually in need of military merit.

And just as Xu Jin arrived at the teleportation array, in the place where Xu Jin had battled with the One Tribulation True Monarch earlier, the atmosphere of Heaven and Earth subtly changed as a terrifying pressure descended and then spread in all directions.

A breath later, a surprised voice echoed in the void.

"Huh, strange; just sensed the fluctuation of a True Monarch expert, and it disappeared so quickly?

Is it over, or did both sides just test each other a bit?"

The one who discovered the anomaly was none other than Guarding True Monarch Wei Xianyu of the Treasure Light District.

For the Guarding True Monarch, her responsibility wasn’t boundless.

The rules of Treasure Light District or Market City were quite clear, within the City and a thousand miles outside, your safety would be ensured.

Beyond that, it was out of reach, unattainable.

Of course, the main reason was that many True Monarchs also practiced Space Star Technique; moving a thousand miles in one Space Movement was manageable.

Further than that, it couldn’t be helped.

This had established a safe zone, beyond which couldn’t be managed.

But handling the battles between True Monarch levels was a must.

Experts at the True Monarch level, whoever they were, would be regarded as significant figures.

If anyone died in the Treasure Light District, the individuals behind them would inquire, and the Guarding True Monarch of the District had to provide some direction.

Therefore, the moment True Monarch-level fluctuations were sensed, Guarding True Monarch Wei Xianyu activated the Heaven and Earth Authority to sense the area immediately.

Unfortunately, she only commanded thirty percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority.

For the moment, she found nothing.

Four breaths later, amid spatial fluctuations, Guarding True Monarch Wei Xianyu appeared at the place where Xu Jin and One Tribulation True Monarch Xiong Lanzhou had battled.

Her vast Divine Thought spread like water, meticulously sensing every piece of information in all directions.

A few breaths later, Wei Xianyu found several traces of ashes, a few pieces of charcoal on the ground, gently rubbed them into ash, and even took a sniff.

"Thunder Star Skill, yet it still carries a chaotic aura?

One was a One Tribulation True Monarch.

The other, the aura seems a bit mysterious?

Chaotic aura?

Could it be a Nine Tribulations True Monarch’s Divine Infant Illusion Spirit involved?

Yet, even among Nine Tribulations True Monarchs, those who can wield chaotic power are rare."

Murmuring to herself, Guarding True Monarch picked up several pieces of scattered charcoal from the ground, "No matter who, with this, there’s an explanation!

However, the Nine Tribulations True Monarch who acted left no trace of using Origin Rule power?

Could it be some method cultivating Concealing Aura?"

After carefully checking for ten-odd breaths, Guarding True Monarch Wei Xianyu swiftly disappeared, heading back to the True Monarch Mansion in the Market City. Wei Xianyu shook off the icy battle armor from her shoulders, revealing a mature and alluring figure, then softly instructed, "Gather any recent information about One Tribulation True Monarchs entering or exiting the city and report back to me.

Especially from the last three days.

And also report those who have left or disappeared starting today."

An hour later, a message arrived on Wei Xianyu’s Tongxuan Order. A sweep of her slender eyes, her brows furrowed slightly, "Suspected to be Jianshui Emperor’s new True Monarch, Xiong Lanzhou?"

After reading, Wei Xianyu commanded the void, "Inquire in the Jianshui Star Realm to see if there has been any appearance of the newly come True Monarch Xiong Lanzhou recently."

"Yes, understood."

"If Xiong Lanzhou was indeed killed, who could have done it?

The speed, it is so fast..."

******

While Guarding True Monarch Wei Xianyu was still investigating with no results, Xu Jin had already arrived at the Thunder Gang Star Domain.

From the Treasure Light District, he had teleported back to the Dongxuan Star Realm, and in an instant returned to the Yutang Royal Mansion, then directly teleported to the Thunder Gang Small World.

Inside the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, the stored Chaotic Star Gang was completely depleted, causing Xu Jin to feel a great loss of security.

So he returned here immediately to replenish the Chaotic Star Gang.

Fifteen minutes later, the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower slowly flew back from the gap in the Star Domain Force Field, returning to Xu Jin, who was standing in the cosmos.

Upon internal inspection, the inside of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower was now filled with Chaotic Star Gang.

Just three or four days have passed, and the limit has already increased by several lines.

The limit has reached four hundred and one lines.

Looking at the special rhythm power accumulated over the past ten days, Xu Jin initially planned to keep accumulating it.

However, after today’s battle with the One Tribulation Star Lord, Xu Jin felt that the amount of Chaotic Star Gang burst was a bit lacking.

So he simply converted all the special rhythm power accumulated over the ten days into Chaos Rhythm Power and then injected it back into the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

The seventh layer of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower was completely transformed into chaos.

Simultaneously, the upper limit of the Chaotic Star Gang increased by more than thirty lines, reaching four hundred thirty-six lines.

This small increase in explosive power was a welcome enhancement.

Feeling secure once again, Xu Jin’s Divine Thought delved into the items within the Sumeru Space of this One Tribulation True Monarch, meticulously sorting and classifying them.

This inventory check took nearly half an hour.

Meanwhile, Xu Jin also discovered a jade scroll containing something akin to an autobiography, detailing the growth journey of this True Monarch, very comprehensively.

It seems to be written for his own reminiscences, with a touch of pride.

Because it records several times he went fishing for resources, each time reaping bounty.

This wind series innate treasure material has not been sold just once but for the third time.

The first two times, a Great Star Monarch and a Star Monarch fell into his trap.

"No wonder he’s so skilled—he’s a repeat offender!"

Moreover, Xu Jin learned about this True Monarch’s background.

A subordinate of the Jianshui Emperor, one of the five Emperors under Emperor Dongxuan of the Tongxuan Domain, recently became a True Monarch named Xiong Lanzhou.

A nice name, and judging by the Sumeru Space items, he’s a person with taste, though not upright.

More than half of the items in his Sumeru Space are rare, ordinary items, useless for cultivation but extremely exquisite. They could be considered luxury items in the Star Realm version.

These were of no use to Xu Jin.

Most were discarded into the Thunder Gang for destruction.

The final harvest brought a smile to Xu Jin’s face.

Finally reaching the True Monarch level meant he was no longer impoverished.

This Xiong Lanzhou, the One Tribulation True Monarch, had quite a considerable fortune.

Firstly, the top-grade innate wood series treasure material Xu Jin had previously traded returned to him.

Additionally, Xiong Lanzhou had two other innate spiritual materials.

These were acquired by ambushing a Star Monarch.

Originally there were three, one of the wood series, already refined into his Lifebound Suppressing Artifact, the Wood Emperor Umbrella.

By refining the innate treasure material Xu Jin obtained into the Wood Emperor Umbrella, the Lifebound Suppressing Artifact could upgrade to a Lifebound Killing Artifact, capable of fully wielding his Origin Rules power.

This realization raised a cold sweat on Xu Jin’s back.

He could only count himself fortunate.

If this villain had a Lifebound Killing Artifact, Xu Jin might not have been able to defeat him, requiring a quick escape after two failed strikes.

Of course, Xu Jin had confidence in his ability to escape.

Beyond this, there were four types of treasure material and over thirty spiritual materials, collecting them piece by piece, fortuitously benefiting Xu Jin.

Another significant gain was the All Heaven Star Dew.

Sixty-four drops in total.

No wonder he generously subsidized two drops for Xu Jin.

Over seven hundred nine-tiered Star Crystals acquired, more than five thousand eighth-order Star Jades, and a large collection of Pills, totaling dozens of bottles.

In the short term, Xu Jin wouldn’t run out of Pills.

Even more precious were a nine-rank Divine Soul Class Spiritual Medicine and two eight-rank ones, all lifesavers.

Moreover, a Yan Dao Pearl from a Star Monarch and one from a Guardian Star Monarch, truly a grand harvest.

The rest were items Xu Jin considered for packaging and valuing them as they are.

Additionally, there were over a hundred jade scrolls.

These may not look impressive, but you never know what’s inside—accounts, secret records, and Xu Jin had previously found valuable things.

So, he was full of patience, sinking his Divine Thought into each one progressively.

Indeed, there were account books detailing expenditures of money and cultivation resources, but Xu Jin couldn’t discern their origins or information from just this.

Some lists also remained unclear in terms of use.

However, one listed cultivation levels, past war merits, and Xu Jin speculated it might be a list of trusted military confidants.

These, Xu Jin didn’t discard but kept them.

After all, a few jade scrolls don’t occupy much space, and who knows when they might be useful.

Most of the remaining jade scrolls recorded Star Skills or even Divine Soul Secret Techniques, but most didn’t interest Xu Jin.

Yet, one jade scroll caught Xu Jin’s focused attention.

Within this jade scroll was a complete method for cultivating a Divine Skill.

The skill was called Black Concealment Jue Silk.

Once refined, it could silently embed into the target’s Divine Soul, allowing tracking of their Divine Soul’s location at any time, sensing the fluctuations of their Divine Soul to predict their current state.

Even if discovered, it was challenging to eliminate in a short time—it was the Supreme Tracking Divine Skill.

At that moment, Xu Jin understood that this Black Concealment Jue Silk was Xiong Lanzhou’s secret technique for tracking him.

Its effect was potent, as Xu Jin already experienced.

The name, though, seemed too unpleasant; Black Silk sounded much better, more fluent.

The method was fully documented but required three specific Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for supplementary cultivation.

Two were relatively easy to find, but the most challenging and critical one was called Bone附骨疽 Crystal.

Xiong Lanzhou’s autobiography mentioned that he had spent four to five years painstakingly searching for this Bone附骨疽 Crystal.

Suddenly, Xu Jin’s eyes lit up.

He resumed searching through the vast belongings of Xiong Lanzhou.

Because Xiong Lanzhou’s autobiography stated that he had found two portions of Bone附骨疽 Crystal.
