Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1935: Chapter 820: Spoils and Decisions

In an instant, beams of starlight shot up to the sky, disappearing completely in a short time.

They came quickly and left quickly!

Once these people had gone, a deep sense of fear lingered in You Yu True Monarch’s heart.

If not for Xu Jin today, he would have had only two choices: fight desperately or suffer humiliation!

Fighting desperately meant certain death!

Against three True Monarchs, even if he unleashed his full strength, he could only take one along in the end.

Suffering humiliation, that’s the simplest yet the most difficult choice.

As someone about to be appointed as the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch, if he couldn’t even hold his head up before being appointed, he’d only be a laughingstock after taking office.

Probably he’d start feeling aggrieved upon appointment and remain so until his tenure ended!

At this thought, when he looked at Xu Jin, his gaze was filled with more emotions than just gratitude; a hint of helplessness rose in his heart, "How wonderful it would be if Xu Jin were my disciple..."

Xu Jin actually wished for a third wave, yet the True Monarchs were sensible.

Beside them, Bi Zhu, the actual disciple of You Yu True Monarch, looked at Xu Jin full of admiration!

With his master absent, he had been defending the villa alone. Although he held the cultivation level of a Star Monarch, over the years, he was frequently reprimanded by the disciples of those True Monarchs.

Star Monarch Zhou Yingchen and Star Monarch Xiang Yuantian didn’t spare him from being reprimanded.

Now that his master rectified things, he could finally let out some steam.

It feels damn great!

...

Fifteen minutes later, You Yu True Monarch returned to the Cultivation Quiet Room with Xu Jin. The moment the starlight was isolated, You Yu True Monarch placed all the gains from this event before Xu Jin.

From two rounds, they had acquired eighteen pieces of Star Ruins Primordial Sand and nine pieces of Innate Spiritual Material.

You Yu True Monarch first returned the three pieces of Innate Spiritual Material that Xu Jin gave him.

If it weren’t for Xu Jin offering a little bait, this miserly old uncle simply wouldn’t have had enough stakes to earn this much.

"Come, Little Jinzi, let’s split the spoils!"

You Yu True Monarch was very pleased.

Today was a satisfying day for him, bringing a sense of lively rejuvenation, extremely gratifying.

After thinking for a while, You Yu True Monarch took three pieces of Star Ruins Primordial Sand from the pile of winnings.

"Little Jinzi, thank you for upholding my old face today!

For today’s gains, I’ll only take three Star Ruins Primordial Sand, the rest belong to you." After saying that, You Yu True Monarch pushed all the remaining items to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin shook his head and pushed them back, "Yu, aren’t we friends? No need for so many words!

How about this: these nine pieces of Innate Spiritual Material are the most valuable, and I have use for them, so they belong to me!

The remaining Star Ruins Primordial Sand belongs to you; just right for you to elevate your cultivation and combat power, so when you take office, you can surprise these bastards."

At those words, You Yu True Monarch shook his head, "Ah, if I weren’t constrained by the Five Elements Spiritual Body, indeed, this Star Ruins Primordial Sand could enhance my cultivation by a half, and increase my combat power.

But now, being bound under the Five Elements Spiritual Body’s constraints, it’s good if they enhance my combat power by two or three percent.

Useless!

Just take them! I’ll take three for appearances."

"Two or three percent is still better than no improvement." Xu Jin said.

"No, I have lost too much hope for myself now! I actually hope you, brat, will greatly advance in cultivation in the future, and help me hack these bastards into pieces.

As for myself..." You Yu True Monarch said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.

"I will also strive, but you..."

"Alright, you brat, stop wasting time, take them all. I give them all to you for a reason." You Yu True Monarch’s demeanor suddenly turned serious.

Xu Jin also sat up straight instantly.

"Did your master tell you about Star-nourishing?"

"He did."

"I’ve seen your Thunder Series already comprehend and evolve eight Law Paths. Once you reach ten, you’ll have the opportunity to nourish a star, and I think you’re not far from it.

But do you know how much Star Ruins Primordial Sand is needed to nourish a single star?" You Yu True Monarch asked.

"How much?"

"At least ten pieces! And that’s the minimum; some even consume twelve or thirteen pieces.

Also, I know you’re cultivating all eight systems.

So, hold on to these; you’ll need plenty of this stuff." You Yu True Monarch said.

Xu Jin was astonished.

With eight systems, that meant he’d need at least eighty pieces.

Preparing broadly, more than a hundred pieces.

This gap truly is substantial.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Jin didn’t decline any further and accepted them.

There’ll be plenty of opportunities to repay Yu in the future, this is no big deal.

To this point, Xu Jin had twenty pieces of Star Ruins Primordial Sand in his hands.

"Yu, it seems you don’t have a good relationship with them?" Xu Jin asked.

Xu Jin’s question made Yu recall past events. He ordered food and drinks, starting a casual chat with Xu Jin.

"Remember what I told you before about the coldness and brutality of top experts?"

Xu Jin nodded.

"It’s precisely from them, what I personally witnessed."

You Yu True Monarch poured himself a bowl of wine, "A hundred and twenty years ago, I was the Five Tribulation True Monarch, appointed as the Outer World Sky Patrol Envoy outside Shisong Star Realm.

One day, during a patrol, I discovered a small world planet with a population over ten billion showing signs of world destruction. By the time I rushed over, it was too late; the small world was already ruined.

Then I discovered True Monarch Lin Yue and Jingtu True Monarch.

Their suspicion was greatest, so I pursued them relentlessly to uncover the truth. After several days of pursuit, they eventually escaped into Shisong Star Realm, attracting the Emperor’s involvement.

That incident caused quite a stir. It was Fenghua who protected me, leaving me disheartened and thus I was reassigned to the Black Tower Island."

The moment Xu Jin heard this, his pupils contracted tightly, "Yu, are you saying, they wiped out a small world with living beings, exterminating a population of ten billion?"

"These two are most suspect, yet the ten billion population of that small world might not even get a chance to struggle, completely annihilated in despair..." You Yu True Monarch shook his head, sighing, "I’ve personally slain thousands!

But I still can’t accept slaughtering ordinary people like this!

As experts, we may not protect these ordinary people, but we shouldn’t massacre them on a massive scale!"

...

With drinks accompanying past events, You Yu True Monarch shared a lot with Xu Jin, saying many things.

Approximately, it was about the difference between humans and non-humans.

Some cultivators, like True Monarch Lin Yue, even though they appear human, are non-human in essence...

"Yu, in that case, your reassignment back to Shisong Star Realm as the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch is targeting you?"

"Considered as such, but the grievances here need to be resolved." Yu raised his wine bowl and drank it all, his gaze becoming steadfast.

Witnessing this scene, Xu Jin was moved in his heart, quickly asking, "Yu, you have less than twenty days until assuming office, what are you planning to do then?

From what they imply, if you take office, they will definitely cause more trouble for you, and it’s premeditated."

Upon hearing this, You Yu True Monarch’s gaze swept over the lifebound killing artifact sword he loved to carry, "I love swords and swords alone!"

Xu Jin instantly looked sideways, having already grasped Yu’s intentions.

At the same time, Xu Jin also made a decision!
