Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 2103: Chapter 908: The Mighty Backer

On the training ground of Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island, the first batch of reinforcements gathered from the Star River World has been distributed.

Since it’s just a routine allocation of personnel, the reinforcements to various Star Islands are led by the strongest True Monarchs, directed by the Star Island Star Mark Stone, and travel by Starship.

This allocation was decided by the Commander Mansion based on the recent battle losses and war merits of each Star Island.

Star Islands with higher previous battle losses and more war merits receive more personnel allocation.

For instance, Changxing Star Island is directly allocated three True Monarchs, six Star Monarchs, and twenty-five Star Lords.

The number of personnel allocated is the highest among all Star Islands.

There’s no choice, Changxing Star Island has recently been quite prominent.

Within two months, they have captured two medium-sized Star Realm Fragments.

Among the three True Monarchs, there is a Five Tribulation Space True Monarch, a Four Tribulation True Monarch, and a Second Tribulation True Monarch, among them Zhu Linxiao, the Star Monarch who was allocated to Changxing Star Island.

Zhu Linxiao’s admiration for her husband is beyond words.

In the Star Ruins Battlefield, where powers are deeply entangled, her husband has been here for just over two months and can already influence the allocation of personnel, which is truly impressive.

At this moment, she couldn’t wait to see her husband, she has countless little things to confide to him.

"All those going to Changxing Star Island, board the ship!" The temporary team leader, Five Tribulation Space True Monarch Tao Tianqiang, shouted abruptly, and instantly the personnel began boarding the Starship as he prepared to count the numbers when suddenly Zhu Linxiao appeared before him.

"True Monarch, due to other arrangements, I won’t be traveling with the main group to Changxing Star Island this time." Zhu Linxiao said with a slight bow.

"Not with the main group? How will you travel?

Do you have the token?" Five Tribulation True Monarch Tao Tianqiang was visibly displeased, he detested people causing trouble.

"Sir, this is the approval token, approved by the Commander Mansion." Zhu Linxiao handed over the token.

"Then how will you eventually travel?" Tao Tianqiang frowned.

"Sir, my husband will pick me up." Zhu Linxiao answered honestly.

"Hmph! You better not be late, anyone late will be executed!"

Tao Tianqiang glared at Zhu Linxiao and turned to board the ship without hesitation.

From this moment on, he regarded Zhu Linxiao, the Star Monarch, as a problematic personnel.

Watching the Starship departing for Changxing Star Island, Zhu Linxiao was worried, truly afraid of being late.

The military order is no joke.

For a while, she was somewhat anxious, frequently looking out expectantly.

.....

An hour later, Zhu Linxiao’s Tongxuan Order flashed with Starlight, and her face instantly broke into a look of joy; her husband Xu Jin had arrived.

First thing, she reported her location.

A few moments later, Starlight flashed, and Xu Jin appeared in front of Zhu Linxiao.

"Husband!"

A fragrant breeze surged, and Zhu Linxiao directly leaped into Xu Jin’s arms.

Xu Jin held Zhu Linxiao tightly, inhaling the enticing fragrance, feeling somewhat stirred.

A dozen moments later, Xu Jin took Zhu Linxiao to a courtyard room in an inn; Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island was no different from a big city, everything was available.

At this moment, realizing something, Zhu Linxiao’s face glowed red, dazzling like a peach blossom.

"Lin’er, the item?"

As the Guard Array arose, Xu Jin’s voice suddenly awakened Zhu Linxiao, her face reddening once more, and she immediately handed the jade box named ’Letter from the Past’ to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin took the jade box, swept it with Divine Thought, and his expression turned solemn.

Solemnity laced with a bit of doubt.

From the sealing method on the jade box, it wasn’t National Master Cheng Yuexiao’s sealing method and aura.

The aura of the seal on it was as mysterious as an abyss, with an extremely advanced sealing technique, uniquely taught by Emperor Fenghua to Xu Jin.

Must use the correct unsealing method, one mistake, and it would self-destruct.

In other words, this is a secret letter sent by his master, Emperor Fenghua, and not from Kunling Domain?

Amidst confusion, Xu Jin began cautiously unsealing, following the secret method from his school, step by step.

"Husband, shall I step aside for a moment?" Zhu Linxiao asked cautiously.

Seeing Zhu Linxiao’s careful demeanor, Xu Jin suddenly felt a touch of tenderness.

This woman treats him too well and too attentively, completely caring for him as the most important person.

Such a woman must be cherished.

Of course, cherishing doesn’t mean sharing all secrets.

"No need."

Xu Jin’s refusal provided Zhu Linxiao with ample trust, making her beam with delight, yet she sensibly refrained from viewing with Divine Thought.

Because Xu Jin was using this unsealing method for the first time, it took him a dozen moments to open it.

Amidst Starlight, the jade box was opened, revealing a jade scroll and a... round disc filled with buttons!

If it wasn’t round, Xu Jin would have thought he was looking at a simple calculator.

Because it had a total of eleven buttons.

Numbered zero to nine, plus a connection button, which bewildered Xu Jin as his mind sank into the jade scroll.

Within the jade scroll was a letter written by Emperor Fenghua.

The moment he finished reading, Xu Jin was astonished, then delighted, and ultimately filled with joy looking at the Book Communication Disc in front of him.

He hadn’t expected that the Thousand Star Alliance had developed such a thing.

A simple codebook, usable for transmissions within the Star Ruins.

No troubles in Kunling Domain!

All is well!

Currently still guarded by senior brother True Monarch Lei Bian.

The original plan was for senior brother True Monarch Lei Bian to guard for a hundred years, but due to the Star Calamity, senior brother True Monarch Lei Bian might also need to be dispatched to the Star Ruins Battlefield. However, master Emperor Fenghua used the excuse of True Monarch Lei Bian seeking Enlightenment on the Emperor Path to temporarily extend it to sixty years.

That’s a cycle.

After a cycle, assess the situation again.

All is well and safe in Kunling Domain, so Xu Jin was relieved.

In the letter, Emperor Fenghua also thoroughly explained the reasons and background of sending this letter.

All because of the Star Calamity!

A star crisis is looming, and the Thousand Stars Alliance must deploy elites to the Star Ruins’ Thousand Stars Alliance Battle Zone for support, including Star Lords, True Monarchs, and even a certain number of Emperors. Duyue Emperor is among the first batch of Emperors to assist.

After much contemplation, Emperor Fenghua also volunteered to go.

First, since his main disciple True Monarch Lei Bian wouldn’t be able to go, lacking a strong receiver among other disciples in the Star Ruins.

Second, Duyue Emperor would provide care, and even Emperors face danger during a star crisis. With him and Duyue Emperor pairing up, the danger would greatly decrease.

Third, since Xu Jin happens to be in the Star Ruins, he seized the opportunity to come in as well, hoping to offer some protection.

However, it’s useless if communication is impossible.

Communication within the Star Ruins is extremely difficult, but fortunately, the Thousand Stars Alliance possesses a killing artifact-level Book Communication Disc. He arranged for several sets to be bought and asked Duyue Emperor to deliver a set to Xu Jin.

Unless an accident occurs, he and Duyue Emperor will arrive in the Star Ruins’ Thousand Stars Alliance Battle Zone on November 8th, when they can use this Book Communication Disc for remote contact.

The method of contact was also explained to Xu Jin.

It’s the oldest cipher book.

After refining the Divine Soul, initiate contact, and then press the numeric keys in groups of six: the first two digits are the page number, the middle two digits are the line number, and the last two digits are the position.

Memorize the numbers, then reference the book for a simple transmission.

After reading these, Xu Jin felt inexplicably relieved.

An indescribable relief and comfort.

An indescribable sense of security surfaced in his heart.

In a few days, when the master and Duyue Emperor arrive, he would have the backing of two Emperors in the Star Ruins Sky!

Two Emperors!

As for the distance?

Although the Thousand Stars Alliance Battle Zone is quite far from the Tongxuan Battle Zone, for Duyue Emperor, it’s not much of an obstacle, just more consumption.

Transparent!

Refreshing!

Suddenly, Xu Jin felt a sensation of lightness and looked at Zhu Linxiao with burning intensity.

The next instant, he already embraced Zhu Linxiao, in just a few moments, Zhu Linxiao took the initiative to crouch down...

...

...

"Husband, no more for now, wait until reaching Changxing Star Island, I’ll let you fully enjoy yourself there, I’m afraid we might be late...." Two hours later, Zhu Linxiao grew anxious.

"Afraid of being late? Impossible! Later, I’ll show you your husband’s talents!" Xu Jin said, flipping back onto the horse.

When mentioning talents, Zhu Linxiao’s gaze at Xu Jin suddenly filled with little stars, "Husband, how did your cultivation level improve so quickly? It’s almost catching up with mine, and I’ve spent more than a year diligently cultivating, coupled with previous accumulation and rapid progress, only now barely reaching the peak of Star Monarch.

But husband, it’s been barely over two months, how did you already achieve all this?"

"There are many things you don’t know yet..."

*****

Half a day later, Xu Jin briskly left with Zhu Linxiao.

When leaving, Xu Jin sent a Starlight Transmission to Emperor Kongyuan as a thanks and farewell.

Due to Emperor Kongyuan’s need to keep his identity secret, there was no need to visit personally, which was convenient.

When leaving with Zhu Linxiao, Xu Jin initially intended to wrap Zhu Linxiao with his aura and return via continuous Space Movement.

Though each movement distance would be shorter, the consumption would be slightly more, but it wouldn’t matter to Xu Jin.

Yet, before setting off, Xu Jin’s heart suddenly stirred, recalling the Abyss Domain Divine Power.

Why not give it a try?

Immediately letting Zhu Linxiao enter the Abyss Domain and begin Space Movement.

Upon testing, Xu Jin was pleasantly surprised.

With Zhu Linxiao in the Abyss Domain, the consumption when performing Space Movement was unchanged, identical to before.

This divine skill is incredibly practical.

More importantly, Xu Jin can always communicate with Zhu Linxiao within the Abyss Domain using Divine Soul.

Without exaggeration, he can chat with Zhu Linxiao while traveling.

Suddenly, Xu Jin realized the function of this Abyss Domain Divine Power.

Should a Silver Wing Clan Emperor truly come as an enemy, he could preemptively contact master Fenghua Emperor, invite him to join the Abyss Domain, and then deceive others. This thing would be a divine artifact for trapping enemies.

Or should I say a divine artifact against Emperors!

No!

Just Fenghua Emperor alone wouldn’t be enough to trap Emperors; if he could fit both Fenghua Emperor and Duyue Emperor inside, then it would be a real divine artifact against Emperors!

Suddenly, amidst Space Movement, Xu Jin felt invigorated; having a backer is indeed advantageous.

With continuous Space Movement and using Ming Qian Touch sensing for danger, an hour later, Xu Jin smoothly returned to Changxing Star Island.

Upon returning to his cultivation hall, Xu Jin briefly gave Zhu Linxiao instructions and then began to attempt dual cultivation with her!

This is genuine dual cultivation!

Xu Jin plans to test the Time Acceleration Power on Zhu Linxiao, seeing if it benefits her and evaluating its effect.

Xu Jin intends to test the external effectiveness of the Can Dou Star River on Zhu Linxiao.

This testing opportunity is very valuable.

Only those whom Xu Jin trusts absolutely can be used for testing and enjoying these benefits.

There aren’t many people Xu Jin absolutely trusts, but Zhu Linxiao is one.

In the blink of an eye, it was November 4th.

Five Tribulation True Monarch Tao Tianqiang, leading the returning team, was startled upon seeing Zhu Linxiao already awaiting their arrival.

He had thought this capricious female Star Monarch would be late and even considered that if she truly were, he would enforce military law on her!

Yet unexpectedly, she arrived earlier than his team!

His heart grew curious about Zhu Linxiao’s husband.

As for Xu Jin, he didn’t show himself at all.

No need.

For those willing to follow him, he gladly shared war merits and benefits.

Those unwilling, it’s up to them.

But Xu Jin didn’t anticipate trouble finding its way to him despite his absence.
