Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 892: Chapter 693: Stability

Su Yuan ascended Qingming Peak and began to adjust his mindset.

Before breaking through, there was one thing that had to be done first.

The ring on Su Yuan’s hand flashed, and a purple Star Card appeared in his hand.

Su Yuan gently caressed this Epic Star Card. This card was the final Star Card after Flame Sky Fire Control and Biluo Wind Control— the Shenxiao Thunder Control Technique!

After advancing to the Radiant Moon Level, he had embedded four skills in total.

Due to numerous matters and the fact that his current methods were fairly complete, he hadn’t had the time to look for a final skill.

Originally, he planned to search slowly after obtaining Instant Unlimited, but he didn’t expect that the cultivation at the Radiant Moon Level would go more smoothly than anticipated.

However, Su Yuan had also considered this point. He was never in a hurry all along because he had this Shenxiao Thunder Control Technique.

If there was an urgent need for an embedded skill, this position would be filled with the necessary skill.

If there wasn’t an urgent need, he could embed the Shenxiao Thunder Control Technique in advance, as it would eventually take up a skill slot anyway!

At this moment, Su Yuan focused his mind, and the Shenxiao Thunder Control Technique emitted a purple glow, transforming into a stream of purple light that merged into Su Yuan’s body and finally integrated into the Star Sea.

Su Yuan closed his eyes, received the information of the Shenxiao Thunder Control Technique, and soon reopened his eyes.

”System!”

Su Yuan opened the system, and the five skills at the Radiant Moon Level were complete:

Killing Life Salvation Technique (Epic | Transformation Realm);

Divine Prohibition (Legendary | Entry);

Void Sword Intent (Legendary | Entry);

Instant Unlimited (Legendary | Entry);

Shenxiao Thunder Control Technique (Epic).

”Good!”

Su Yuan smiled with satisfaction, and with the recent upgrade to Void Sword Intent, he had embedded three Legendary Skills at the Radiant Moon Level!

For an ordinary Radiant Moon being, having even one Legendary Skill was extremely rare, let alone three?

With the skill slots resolved, Su Yuan began to digest the earlier battle.

This time, although he successfully counter-killed three Moon Knights, it also exposed some issues.

For example, when dealing with Purple Moon Gareth, he used Divine Prohibition to seal the opponent, yet Gareth still used a Space Transfer talisman to escape.

This led to Su Yuan pursuing him, which resulted in complications and falling into the ambush of Caroline and Layton.

Although the outcome was good, the risk was undeniably high.

If at that time, he had already advanced Divine Prohibition to the Furnace Fire level, he could have sealed even the use of Star Devices and items, naturally not giving the opponent such an opportunity.

However, advancing a Legendary Skill from Entry to Furnace Fire level requires 3 million Star Dust Points, which is not something that can be done at will...

Additionally, his breathing technique also hadn’t advanced in a long time.

Similarly, due to the heavy consumption of Star Dust Points, the eleventh and twelfth Star Nests, one Star Cave requires 500k Star Dust, and two Star Nests with 12 Star Caves require 6 million Star Dust!

Moreover, advancing from a Sithx-level Array Master to the seventh level requires tens of millions of Star Dust... fortunately, this is not too urgent.

”Speaking of, it’s still because there are too few Star Dust Points...” Su Yuan sighed.

Whether it’s breathing, arrays, or Legendary Skills, all require millions of Star Dust Points.

And to acquire that many Star Dust Points, one can only hunt a large number of Star Beasts.

It was manageable during the Gold and Shining Star levels, but if someone with cultivation at the Radiant Moon or even Burning Sun level were to enter the Ancient Forbidden Zone and massacre, it would be highly sensitive.

Moreover, considering that he was still a member of the Sky Patrol Department...

The Ancient Forbidden Zone was not feasible, so he could only search for Star Beasts in the southwestern seas and various dangerous areas on the continent.

This was one of the things Su Yuan had instructed Ruan Ruan earlier.

Thinking of Ruan Ruan, Su Yuan suddenly remembered something.

”It might be inappropriate for someone of my status to hunt Star Cores, but... for the system, Star Cores hunted by Guardian Beasts can also be decomposed into Star Dust Points.

If done as a Star Beast, hunting Star Beasts to acquire Star Cores wouldn’t require as much caution, would it?”

Su Yuan realized that his Guardian Beast was not only Ruan Ruan; there was indeed another Star Beast, although he had never considered her as just a Guardian Beast.

And that was Bing Tong!

Because the distance was incredibly vast, although Su Yuan could faintly feel her position through the spiritual connection of the contract, it was extremely weak and indistinct.

”That girl is indeed a very obedient and strong ally. I wonder what she’s doing right now...”

Su Yuan’s mind conjured up the delicate face of the white-haired girl, and for a moment, he got lost in thought.

Su Yuan then shook his head, clearing his thoughts.

”Forget it, thinking too much now won’t help, if it doesn’t work, I’ll take my time.”

Even in the current situation, using Star Dust Points to enhance skills is considerably faster than normal cultivation.

It’s only because Su Yuan hadn’t been cultivating for long, and was used to rapid progress, that he felt it was slow.

For most people, this speed is nothing short of incredible!

Su Yuan reined in his thoughts, began operating Star Power to adjust his state.

Without Su Yuan’s control, the Phoenix Vein was already guiding the Heaven and Earth Star Power to converge onto Qingming Peak...

Seeing Su Yuan entering into cultivation, Yang Aoshan lingered for over ten days, leaving some items behind, and then took her leave.

Meanwhile, Ruan Ruan and Antonios began to act according to Su Yuan’s instructions.

Ashley and Mo Fei remained stationed in the Qingming Realm.

Ashley looked after Yang Yifeng, while Mo Fei was diligently preparing to break through to the Full Moon Level...

In cultivation, time passes without notice...

Just breaking through the Radiant Moon Level takes one to two months; breaking through to Burning Sun would likely take at least half a year.

And without Su Yuan, Blue Sea Star would not stop turning.

Time passed, and the situation continued to evolve.

Previously, the North had managed to lure out and successfully assassinate Xuanwu Upper Moon of the Sky Patrol Department in the Eastern Battle Zone, only for Su Yuan to turn around and slay three Moon Knights.

This dealt a significant blow to Qiguang and the entire Northern Army!

The weakness in top-tier strength caused the North to suffer several setbacks in critical battles, retreating repeatedly.

This was an excellent demonstration of the supremacy of individual strength for the group of Star Card Masters!

Until later, Qiguang was forced to deploy Burning Sun-level experts from the military multiple times.

Although they successfully curbed the advance of the front lines, there was no doubt that at the current phase of Earth Tribulation confrontations, the Northern Army was a step behind!

And this was precisely the effect the Southern Alliance desired.

With extended front lines, while they could occupy more Star Veins, it would still take time to digest these Star Veins into strength, making continuous advancement impossible.

The Northern Army knew this, but had no choice; they had to proceed!

Because in the eyes of the people of Qiguang and other countries, the Northern Army was simply being repeatedly breached by the South, which looked terrible.

The Southern Alliance, having gained a temporary advantage, began to consolidate these Star Veins once the front lines shrank to a reasonable scope.

Great Flame, Huo Luo, and Black Snow, among a few nations, due to occupying numerous Star Veins, saw many military experts gain opportunities to cultivate in high-concentration Star Veins.

Coupled with the Spirit Pill rewards from military achievements, a surge of Shining Star and Radiant Moon experts emerged continuously...

Both the North and South tacitly began absorbing the newly added Star Veins from the Earth Tribulation, entering a phase of rest and recuperation.

With the Earth Qi gradually calming, until the Dragon Vein reappeared, it seemed unlikely there’d be significant changes to the current situation.

For both the North and South, this might seem like a period of relative calm before a storm.

Almost everyone thought so.

Yet, at that moment, a dramatic change occurred...
