Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1981: Chapter 846: First Place Overall and Extra Rewards

Within the Tongyou Sacred Road, Xu Jin felt the Divine Soul impact surging in from all directions, and in just two breaths he stepped out of the Starlight curtain gate.

It wasn’t because his Divine Soul Cultivation Level had risen.

He’d simply gotten used to it.

The effects of a stronger Divine Soul Cultivation Level probably wouldn’t be felt until the final few realms.

Before entering, Xu Jin had already prepared his strategy.

In the realms that tested Divine Soul Cultivation and temperament, will, he would try to earn as many points as possible, but in the realm of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, he still had to shear as much wool as he could.

The Power of Seven Emotions actually isn’t hard to obtain; as long as you spend the time, you can get it.

The problem lies in time.

Collecting the Power of Seven Emotions is essentially a clumsy, brute-force task.

Emperor Dongxuan used the power of all the Star Realms under his command to collect the Power of Seven Emotions at scale.

For example, in the Dao Palace of the Dongxuan Star Realm, there is a long-term mission open to all Dao Viscounts to collect the Power of Seven Emotions.

The Power of Seven Emotions is counted in units of one thousand strands; whenever you collect a unit, you can go to the Dao Palace and exchange it according to a fixed catalog for Cultivation Resources.

Under these circumstances, the total amount of Power of Seven Emotions Emperor Dongxuan takes in—millions of strands is just the starting point.

Similarly, if Xu Jin wants to collect a large amount of the Power of Seven Emotions, this is also the best method.

But for now, his influence is still insufficient.

Collecting the Power of Seven Emotions requires special artifacts and Cultivation Techniques, and the minimum Divine Soul Cultivation Level must at least be the Daoist Embryo stage.

The human resources accumulated in the Kunling Domain are still a bit lacking.

So in the short term, fleecing some wool off the Emperor should be Xu Jin’s fastest way to gather the Power of Seven Emotions.

But this also made Xu Jin think of another problem.

With such a vast amount of Power of Seven Emotions collected by Emperor Dongxuan, if its might were to erupt in an instant, how terrifying would that be?

Even an Emperor would likely be dragged into a long, deep downfall.

Shear as much wool as possible, obtain as many growth points as possible—that was Xu Jin’s established strategy.

Under these circumstances, Xu Jin’s points kept rising, but within the Tai Xu Heart Inquiry Platform, the Power of Seven Emotions was also constantly increasing.

*****

In the Saint Selection Camp.

Because of the growth points, at this very moment everyone, including those Emperors and True Monarchs, were watching the score ranking changes on the Star Curtain in the sky.

As before, He Moyu was still far in the lead.

What was slightly strange was that the points and ranking of the former first place, Xu Jin, were now somewhat lagging behind, temporarily placed beyond the top two hundred.

And they were constantly rising and falling.

This made quite a few Emperors show looks of surprise.

True Monarch Tianzhang, although knowing that when the first round had just begun Xu Jin’s points had behaved like this—up and down, only starting to rocket in the Mid to Late Period—

still felt a bit worried upon seeing this situation reappear.

"This Viscount’s point performance really leaves me somewhat puzzled." True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment, who had been watching Xu Jin’s points all along, was also very surprised at this moment.

If his Divine Soul Cultivation Level was very strong, shouldn’t he be charging straight ahead all the way?

Then what was this sudden up and down supposed to be?

Yu Kun Emperor, Haiyue Emperor, and the others who were paying attention to Xu Jin’s presence shared the same confusion.

No matter how they racked their brains, they could not imagine that Xu Jin was deliberately fleecing wool.

After 15 minutes, some contestants began to be eliminated one after another from the Tongyou Sacred Road.

At the same time, Xu Jin’s ranking also began to leap upward in a straight line.

Every dozen breaths or so, his ranking and points would both soar dramatically.

As time passed, more and more contestants were eliminated, and the number of contestants remaining on the Tongyou Sacred Road grew fewer and fewer.

Suddenly, the radiance on Ling Fei’s name in the Star Curtain of the heavens faded, and his figure simultaneously fell out of the void.

His name and points were thus fixed.

[Second place: Ling Fei, points: one hundred ninety-four.]

This made Yu Kun Emperor’s expression sink slightly. The increase was decent, but the problem was that it was still uncertain whether he could take first place.

There were fourteen growth points; according to the scoring rules, his disciple Ling Fei’s base score was as high as one hundred seventy-nine plus seventy points.

The final score would be two hundred forty-nine points.

With that score, the top three shouldn’t be a problem, but first place was hard to say.

In the Imperial Palace Saint Heir grand selection, rankings often boil down to just two kinds.

First place and all other places.

The reward for first is something no other place can compare with; moreover, the first place is extremely likely to be taken in by the Emperor as a Direct Disciple.

The Emperor himself will grant rewards at that time, and as the Emperor’s Direct Disciple, becoming a future True Monarch is highly probable, and the chance of stepping onto the Emperor Path is not low either.

And Yu Kun would then be his former master.

The potential benefits in this are enormous.

More importantly, he is still currently only Yu Kun Emperor.

If he can cultivate such an outstanding disciple, then even if the Dongxuan Star Realm’s overall performance is somewhat lacking, perhaps Emperor Dongxuan, in a happy mood, will grant him stewardship of the Dongxuan Star Realm ahead of time.

The authority and Combat Power of a Yu Kun Emperor and an Emperor of the Realm are completely different.

All of a sudden, Starlight flashed on the Star Curtain in the sky; the Starlight behind first-place Xiang Yan’s name also disappeared, fixing his points at one hundred ninety-four.

Recalling Xiang Yan’s previous points, Yu Kun Emperor’s brows suddenly quivered repeatedly, joy blooming on his face.

His disciple Ling Fei now had an eighty percent chance of taking first place.

Because Xiang Yan’s points in the preliminary selection were one hundred eighty-one, and his growth points now seemed to be only thirteen.

In that case, Ling Fei’s total score would be higher.

Then that first place...

Suddenly, Yu Kun Emperor’s gaze fell upon the name He Moyu.

On the Star Curtain in the sky, He Moyu’s name was still flashing with Starlight, but his current ranking was third, with one hundred ninety-four points.
