Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 2078: Chapter 895: Peril on the Way Home

Xu Jin really misses his master, Emperor Fenghua.

The feeling of being with Emperor Fenghua is so comfortable.

Unrestrained.

Communicating with Emperor Kongyuan is different; it gives Xu Jin an overwhelming sense of pressure and an indescribable vagueness.

Of course, it might be related to the fact that communication with Emperor Fenghua was always through Starlight Transmission.

When the Star River World was present, Xu Jin could still use Emperor Duyue as an intermediary, or go directly to the Star River Island to contact his master.

But in this Star Ruins Battlefield, those methods have failed.

However, it’s not impossible to contact.

For example, with the little fish sword given by his uncle ancestor, True Monarch You Yu, he should be able to send a brief message to True Monarch You Yu if used.

But after some thought, Xu Jin decided not to.

He didn’t want to trouble his master.

He just missed Emperor Fenghua a bit, and in the absence of effective contact, sending a vague message to his uncle ancestor could cause unnecessary trouble for his master.

Clearing his thoughts, Xu Jin inspected the two pieces of Innate Treasure Material given by Emperor Kongyuan for cultivating Abyss Domain Divine Power.

The first is called Sky Scar, with a mysteriously profound aura, lacking specific characteristics, but when the Divine Thought sinks in, it establishes a closer connection with the surrounding void.

The second is called Mysterious Dark Earth Pouch, which is the most crucial Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasure for cultivating Abyss Domain Divine Power.

According to Emperor Kongyuan, it’s also the hardest to find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasure. When the Divine Thought sinks in, he can faintly sense a small space the size of a fist.

The third material for cultivating Abyss Domain Divine Power is the Star Realm Source Core.

But it’s different from Moon Eclipsing Divine Power.

For Moon Eclipsing Divine Power, the higher the rank of the Star Realm Source Core, the better.

If he could find a Great World level Star Realm Source Core now and refine it, it would absolutely strengthen Xu Jin’s Moon Eclipsing Divine Power further.

But in Abyss Domain Divine Power, until it grows to a certain stage, only Small World level Star Realm Source Core can be used.

If directly using a Great World level Star Realm Source Core, there is only one consequence: the Abyss Domain Divine Power Sword Essence will shatter and become useless!

This point was repeatedly emphasized by Emperor Kongyuan.

Actually, when he first received the Star Realm Source Core, Xu Jin wanted to directly refine it into Moon Eclipsing Divine Power to enhance its potency.

If another Small World level Star Realm Source Core is refined, the Moon Eclipse could trap a Ninth Tier expert for over a breath’s time.

That would be an opportunity.

But Xu Jin sensed a hint from Emperor Kongyuan’s words about checking his homework.

Essentially, it meant urging Xu Jin to start cultivating Abyss Domain Divine Power now, with the implication that he would be checking Xu Jin’s progress.

This made Xu Jin feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Vaguely, there was a sense that if Xu Jin couldn’t successfully cultivate this Abyss Domain Divine Power, it would be a problem.

Feeling uncomfortable, Xu Jin was vaguely worried.

Could Emperor Kongyuan have other purposes towards him?

After all, he just became a disciple, and such precious treasures were given immediately!

It’s genuinely kind, but also overly generous, making Xu Jin a bit fearful.

Consequently, right now, Xu Jin fully activated Mingji Star Pattern, sending his Divine Thought into every inch of these three treasures, checking for possible suspicions.

Checking if there were any tricks!

Unfortunately, after inspecting it for a full two hours, Xu Jin found nothing.

These three treasures were too normal.

"Could it be that I’m overthinking... These three treasures are precious to me, but to someone like the Grand Marshal of Tongxuan Battle Zone, Emperor Kongyuan, they’re nothing!"

Xu Jin feels that he might be overthinking.

A billionaire spending ten thousand feels the same as him spending ten thousand money.

"The Divine Power is cultivated by me, the Sword Essence also resides within me, there should be no problem, so I should cultivate it. It sounds like this Divine Power is also very rare! However, according to old habits..."

With a thought, Xu Jin directly placed Sky Scar and Mysterious Dark Earth Pouch into the Star Lamp of the Dipper Platform to begin nourishing and upgrading with Chaos Rhythm Power.

To maximize the Divine Power potency, not only does Xu Jin need to nourish and upgrade these two Innate Treasure Materials to Chaos Elemental Materials, but he also has to nourish them to the extremes of Chaos Elemental Materials.

Previously, this could take a long time, around forty days.

But now, Xu Jin’s Time Acceleration Heavenly Star Will has significantly improved; under the shine of the Time Law Star, one day equals five days.

Theoretically, in eight days, they can be nourished to the limit.

Adding one or two days for cultivation, the time should be just right.

After deciding this matter, Xu Jin started pondering another thing.

Homeward journey!

On the way here, he encountered an assassination attempt deliberately set up by Eight Tribulation True Monarch Zou Shan and Seven Tribulation True Monarch Wuo Feng, who plotted against him with True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Yu Kun Emperor.

Thus, the question arises: with this failed plot, will they give up?

The answer is no!

No matter what they are plotting, it’s clear they won’t stop.

The second question is whether they will act during Xu Jin’s return journey?

The answer is possibly!

Because True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Yu Kun Emperor control so many intangible resources, it’s entirely possible for them to arrange for Xu Jin on the way back.

The third question is, if they arrange for Xu Jin again, what kind of expert would they send?

Xu Jin stood in True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment’s position and pondered for a while, arriving at the answer.

If he were True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment, arranging someone to take care of Xu Jin, he would necessarily send at least one Nine Tribulation True Monarch, possibly even themselves or potentially an Emperor!

This would be tough!

Before a Nine Tribulation True Monarch, Xu Jin still has a chance to escape.

But if an Emperor acts, Xu Jin’s chance of survival is extremely slim.

Previously, when Xu Jin heard Emperor Kongyuan wanted to take him as a disciple, he thought about this matter.

At the time, he felt that with this news out, True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment likely would withdraw!

After all, if Xu Jin, whom Emperor Kongyuan just accepted as a disciple, dies en route, it would be a slap in Emperor Kongyuan’s face, right?

No matter the personal feelings, for the sake of face, Emperor Kongyuan would thoroughly investigate and find the culprit.

But the Kongyuan Emperor said that the relationship between mentor and student should be kept secret, for a very good reason: Xu Jin’s safety.

This step just won’t work.

"Should I ask the Kongyuan Emperor for protection, or even to lure them? If the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment sends someone to attack, have him killed in a timely manner? Or if the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment attacks in person or the Yu Kun Emperor attacks, and then Kongyuan Emperor, this convenient mentor, directly eliminates them?

Then it would be once and for all!"

This thought is very tempting for Xu Jin.

Once successful, it could get rid of the troublesome True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Yu Kun Emperor.

But after thinking through some details for a few moments, Xu Jin suddenly smiled bitterly!

People, they must not overestimate their value in others’ hearts!

Xu Jin and Kongyuan Emperor have only been mentor and student for a few days, there’s no affection or friendship at all.

The only thing Xu Jin can offer to make Kongyuan Emperor, this convenient mentor, interested, might be his talent.

However, Kongyuan Emperor has been working together with the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Yu Kun Emperor for countless years, it’s been over a hundred years, right?

What their private relationship, their friendship is like, Xu Jin has no idea.

And then for Xu Jin to rashly ask his convenient mentor Kongyuan Emperor to lure and kill the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Yu Kun Emperor, it’s a bit of wishful thinking.

If one thing goes wrong, it could instead result in him being sold out!

To ask Kongyuan Emperor to choose between his talented disciple whom he has just accepted a few days ago, and the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment, such a central figure, and Yu Kun Emperor, an old friend, it’s akin to testing human nature.

Xu Jin feels the possibility of failure is quite high!

Exclude!

This method is immediately excluded by Xu Jin!

"Then how should I safely return to Changxing Star Island?" Xu Jin pondered deeply with a frown, fruitlessly for a long time, so he can only start to review the process of being ambushed when coming here.

Can only think of a solution from this!

Suddenly, Xu Jin’s mind flashed.

Actually, theoretically, with his current level of space movement, even a Nine Tribulation True Monarch can hardly quickly lock onto him and accurately find him.

Previously, during the journey here, he was found for two reasons: one is that his location was sensed by a True Monarch who cultivated Source Thousand Touch, and then he sent a warning to Xu Jin.

Two is that upon seeing the warning, Xu Jin chose to abide by the law, after all, once marked as an invader, the consequences of being chased by a group of Nine Tribulation True Monarchs and even Emperors are more terrifying!

Xu Jin seeks solutions from these two reasons.

One is not to abide by military discipline, the other is not to be discovered by the Source Thousand Touch Divine Power, avoid it in advance.

It’s just like how Xu Jin counter-killed the Eight Tribulation True Monarch Zou Shan and the Seven Tribulation True Monarch Wuo Feng without anyone knowing, that’s good enough.

But the root is to avoid this Source Thousand Touch Divine Power.

Just like how Xu Jin must kill the Four Tribulation True Monarch Hu Yiwei, who wields Source Thousand Touch Divine Power afterward.

Ultimately, the Source Thousand Hectoliters Divine Power is too troublesome, the sensing distance is extremely far.

"But if I cultivate Source Thousand Touch Divine Power, can I detect those True Monarchs earlier and avoid many dangers in advance?"

With this thought, Xu Jin’s heart became enthusiastic.

He can cultivate Source Thousand Touch Divine Power, and theoretically, his cultivation will be slightly stronger than others.

Because of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures used in cultivation, he can nurture and upgrade them, and his Daoist Embryo is stronger than most people.

By then, once it transforms into a Divine Infant, it will definitely be far superior to most True Monarch Divine Infants.

Even now, Xu Jin can still rely on it; Xu Jin’s Daoist Embryo Cultivation is not weaker than that of an ordinary True Monarch.

"If I cultivate Source Thousand Touch, not only can I avoid many dangers, but I can also gain more opportunities during the star disaster!

Moreover, my Source Thousand Touch will definitely be stronger than others!

I don’t lack Sword Essence positions!"

"That’s the decision!"

At the moment of making the decision, Xu Jin immediately contacted the Guardian of Changxing Star Island, Mr. Guan, expressing his intention to cultivate.

[Great Saint, you want to cultivate, no problem! But there’s one thing you need to know, the Source Thousand Touch Divine Power will occupy a Divine Sword Yuan position, so generally, it’s not recommended for geniuses like you to cultivate it.

After all, Divine Sword Yuan positions are limited; the later you get, the tighter it becomes!

Even if you have six or seven, in the future it will be barely enough, if you waste one here, I’m afraid...]

Mr. Guan’s reply was quite sincere, but Xu Shi’s response was somewhat discouraging, [Hei, I have eight!]

[Eight? You kid, just pretend I didn’t say anything!

Then I’ll apply for a slot for you!

But you must know, the Source Thousand Touch Divine Power generally provides Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for free, and generally, the grades of these materials are not the best.

A total of three Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, here they are provided for free as two Innate Spiritual Materials and one Treasure Material.

After successful cultivation, the sensing distance depends on your cultivation level, starting from around thirty thousand miles, cultivation level.

If you can obtain higher-grade materials, the sensing distance will greatly increase, around sixty thousand miles, if all are Innate Treasure Materials, the limit is around seventy thousand miles.

Personally, I think you’d better find a way to purchase higher-tier materials for cultivation!

To extend the sensing distance to around fifty thousand miles!

Only then is it valuable!

Only then will it not waste your precious Divine Sword Yuan position!] Mr. Guan said.

[Hei, I understand, thank you!]

[Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll ask Deng Kui to find a way to see if you can exchange military merits for higher-tier materials needed for cultivation!

I don’t have it here, but our Tongxuan Star Island must have higher-tier materials for cultivation!] Hei said.

[Hei, you said the Tongxuan Star Island mansion has higher-tier materials for cultivating Source Thousand Touch?]

[Definitely.]

[Hei, thanks, don’t bother Kui now, I’ll first find a friend!]

[You have a senior friend?] Mr. Guan asked in confusion.

[I’ll try.]

[Alright then.]

In the next instant, Xu Jin directly initiated a Starlight Transmission to the Kongyuan Emperor.

Being the teacher who’s the Commander, this little favor should be granted, right?

It’s not something!
