Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1938: Chapter 822: A Friendly Bet and a Pleasant Surprise

Earlier, he diluted the Chaos Rhythm Power twenty times before his physical body could barely endure the refinement.

Now, one cycle of refinement is complete.

Although he is still far from refining the Great Chaos Spirit Body, the foundation has been laid.

Today, Xu Jin plans to dilute the Chaos Rhythm Power eighteen times and start refining the second cycle from scratch.

Meanwhile, Xu Jin reopens the Candou Lamp Domain, allowing the elites of the Kunling Domain to take turns in enlightenment.

The next goal for Xu Jin is to continuously refine his physical body and complete the Great Chaos Spirit Body refinement as soon as possible, while also finding time to refine the remaining four elements of his Lifebound Spiritual Treasures.

One is for early Nourishment, and two, once Xu Jin’s plans are fulfilled, he can directly embark on the Heavenly Road of Laws.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Emperor Fenghua was meditating when he suddenly received a Starlight Transmission from True Monarch You Yu.

[How long do you think it will take Xu Jin to master the Space Divine Power Moon Eclipse?]

The sudden question from his mentor startled Emperor Fenghua, though instinctively, he felt it was his mentor’s concern for his disciple’s safety, especially since his mentor was soon to be reassigned and would be unable to protect his disciple from outside the Galaxy.

However, he had already planned for this.

[Mentor, my disciple Xu Jin is exceptionally talented, with persistence that is extraordinary. Given the complete Star Realm Source Core, at best, he could succeed in three to five years, at worst, within ten years.

By then, mastering one-tenth of Space Divine Power Moon Eclipse, he will have basic self-defense capabilities. Coupled with his Divine Power of Void Inquiry, even if faced with high-tier True Monarchs, he will have a way to escape.

Mentor, you are about to be reassigned, and I am also aware of the situation in Shisong Star Realm there.

When you’re over there, there’s no need to overly restrain yourself. Should a true crisis arise, summon me urgently, and I will certainly come.]Replied Emperor Fenghua.

[Rest assured, I have things under control in Shisong Star Realm.

But there’s one thing you’ve mistaken.]

[What is it?]

[Your disciple’s Space Divine Power Moon Eclipse can already trap me for a breath and a half. I had to exert all my strength, using a breath and a half, to break free.]

[What?]

Within the Imperial Palace, Emperor Fenghua swiftly sat up, surprise in his eyes.

"This... how is it so fast? I gave him the Star Realm Source Core not even two months ago?

And this level of power?"

[Mentor, are you serious?]

[I just accompanied him to Baili Star Realm and Shisong Star Realm, helping him enhance the power of Moon Eclipse, witnessed it with my own eyes, could it be false!]True Monarch You Yu said.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Emperor Fenghua quickly rose, pacing back and forth, delighted beyond measure.

"So quickly? This kid’s true talent lies in the Dao of Space?

It seems that letting him learn this Space Divine Power Moon Eclipse from Duyue was indeed a clever move..."

At that thought, Emperor Fenghua’s expression suddenly paused.

At that moment, he considered a possibility.

"It seems I can trick Duyue and also liberate myself."

In high spirits, Emperor Fenghua carefully planned.

A few days later, Emperor Fenghua contacted Duyue Emperor, found a pretext, and with Starlight Flashing, arrived at Duyue Emperor Palace.

"Huh, why did you take the initiative to come to my palace today?" Duyue Emperor was unexpectedly delighted and very surprised.

Usually, she was the one who initiated. Seeing Emperor Fenghua come voluntarily today brought her immense joy.

"I plan to spend some time in Chaos Gorge for enlightenment, so to avoid you saying I don’t keep my word, I’ve come early to accompany you for a couple of months." Emperor Fenghua said.

In an instant, Duyue Emperor’s brows and eyes curved into crescents, her mood soaring to the utmost. She immediately cuddled into Emperor Fenghua’s embrace, then ordered a feast.

Today, she had to make Emperor Fenghua feel so comfortable that he wouldn’t want to leave.

Being proactive deserved a reward after all.

Emperor Fenghua enjoyed while casually chatting with Duyue Emperor.

Casually bringing up his disciple Xu Jin, "Duyue, how long do you think it’ll take for my disciple to cultivate your Divine Power Moon Eclipse?"

"Well... it’s hard to say."

"Why don’t you take a guess?"

"You’ve surely prepared the Star Realm Source Core for your disciple, right?" Duyue Emperor asked.

"Of course, on his own, it would be too difficult."

"Then this situation is similar to my disciple Lo Yang.

Back then, I prepared the Star Realm Source Core for Lo Yang, then guided him constantly, and it took him twenty-seven years to master the Moon Eclipsing Divine Power.

However, I feel your disciple’s talent surpasses that of my disciple Lo Yang considerably, with more ideas.

Hence, the time to master it should be much shorter than that of my disciple Lo Yang," Duyue Emperor analyzed.

"It’s possible."

Nodding slightly, Emperor Fenghua suddenly pushed off Duyue Emperor, sat up straighter, then enthusiastically said, "Duyue, how about we play a game?"

"Go ahead." Fenghua’s happiness made Duyue very pleased, ensuring she didn’t dampen the mood.

"We both predict how long my disciple Xu Jin will take to master Space Divine Power Moon Eclipse and write it down.

Whoever gets closer wins." Proposed Emperor Fenghua.

"Sure! Fenghua, what do you propose as the prize?"

"Prize?" Emperor Fenghua pretended to consider for a few breaths, "How about we use the time we spend together as the prize? If I win, I decide; if you win, it’s your call!"

Upon hearing this, Duyue Emperor, who was initially brimming with sweetness, suddenly showed a stern expression, immediately sobering up, replacing her infatuated mind.

"If Fenghua wins, the time is up to him to decide, then it certainly wouldn’t increase.

Fenghua’s proactive suggestion today means... he has confidence in winning?"

Contemplating this, Duyue Emperor chuckled sweetly, "Alright."

"Then we each write it into the Jade Scrolls, shall we?"

"Sure, but Fenghua, what if our answers are the same?"

"If they’re the same, then it’s a tie!"

"How’s that fair? It’s your disciple; you know him better than I do! I should win!" Duyue Emperor coquettishly said.

"Alright, alright, if they’re the same, you win, let’s start now."

Speaking, both took out a piece of Jade Scroll, and with a movement of Divine Thought, Emperor Fenghua briefly pondered and wrote.

Duyue Emperor, however, pondered for over ten breaths before writing slowly.

"Finished?" Emperor Fenghua asked with a smile.

"Finished."

"Then no turning back, agree to abide by the outcome?"

"Agree to abide by the outcome!"

"Alright, you read mine, I’ll read yours!"

"Agreed!"

In the next moment, the two exchanged Jade Scrolls, and as their Divine Thoughts submerged, Duyue Emperor began laughing first, laughing with immense joy, with enchanting demeanor and flirtatious glances!

Emperor Fenghua was dumbfounded at the scene, a bitter expression on his face.

"Wait... Duyue, how did you guess the same as me?

Didn’t you say your chief disciple took over twenty years?

How dare you confirm he succeeded now?"

Seeing Duyue Emperor’s prediction, Emperor Fenghua was completely perplexed.

"Fenghua, since you came to challenge me with a prize, your goal must be to win, and winning allows you to immediately cancel the time you owe me.

Under normal circumstances, how are you so sure you’ll win?

The time for Condensing the Star Sky Seal is hard to predict.

Especially in a Great World, it might take three to five years, or seven to eight years.

Yet you’re so confident, I can only risk a bet, knowing there’s a high chance of losing!" Duyue Emperor said with a laugh.

Emperor Fenghua bitterly smiled, "You..."

Duyue Emperor snuggled back into Fenghua’s embrace, "This time, it’s doubled!"

"This..."

"Agree to abide by the outcome!"

"Alright!" Emperor Fenghua reluctantly acquiesced, unable to minimize the time, and instead found it doubled...

[Yu, you’re still on the island, right.]On April 16th, Xu Jin sent a Starlight Transmission to True Monarch You Yu.

[Still here, the True Monarch taking over said they got delayed by a Star Realm conflict on the way, might be a few days late, they’ve already informed Headquarter.]

[Good, then pull me over.]

[You brat don’t focus on cultivation and always come to me, what’s going on?]True Monarch You Yu was perplexed.

[Enough talk, hurry and pull me! I have a surprise!]

[Tch, just hope it’s not a scare!]

Amusedly scolding, True Monarch You Yu on Black Tower Island still activated the Thousand Star Jade Order.
