Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 234: Chapter 127 Extreme (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

The higher the quality of the first Star Core, the better the effect in assisting advancement.

There was no doubt that the top-grade Star Core cast in Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace provided the strongest effect in assisting advancement.

According to Ning Yuchan’s words, the effect of a middle-grade Star Core was equivalent to a normal Star Casting Pill, a top-grade Star Core’s effect was equivalent to a top-grade Star Casting Pill. Xu Jin estimated that his top-grade Star Core from the Central Star Palace, when used to assist in casting the Lower Star Palace, would have an effect at least equivalent to a First Essence top-grade Star Casting Pill.

Moreover, most crucially, the Gathered Star Core that had been cast in the Central Star Palace could be reused.

It wasn’t like a Star Casting Pill that was gone once used.

Fifteen minutes later, the Star Power in Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace had been completely consumed, and he immediately stopped Star Casting and sat down cross-legged to recover his Star Power.

Fifteen minutes later, after the Star Power in the Central Star Palace had fully recovered, Xu Jin continued with Star Casting.

This process of repeated use, continuous consumption of the Central Star Palace’s Star Power, continuous recovery, and continuous Star Casting, went on.

After two and a half hours, Xu Jin’s Lower Star Palace had succeeded in casting two points nine inches, and he still had two First Essence top-grade Star Casting Pills in his hand.

At this point, Xu Jin turned his attention back and continued to cast stars in the Central Star Palace.

Absorbing the Drug efficacy of the First Essence top-grade Star Casting Pill and gathering the Star Power inside the Lower Star Palace’s Mingji Star Core, he once again expanded the Central Star Palace.

An hour later, Xu Jin looked at the three inches and one Star Core inside the Central Star Palace and rose to his feet!

He had reached his limit.

Casting a three inches and one Star Core was his limit.

To achieve this, his Divine Soul Power had been depleted to only twenty percent remaining.

At this moment, Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace was like cast iron and steel, and the Star Blade formed by Star Power and Drug efficacy could no longer make any progress, no matter how he tried to expand it.

Xu Jin did not know if this was the limit of cultivation, but it was definitely his limit.

However, Xu Jin was satisfied.

Because under normal circumstances, casting two and a half inches would produce a top-grade Star Core. So what would you call his casting of three inches and one? The top-grade among top-grades?

However, while the Central Star Palace had reached its limit, the Lower Star Palace had not.

But there wasn’t enough Divine Soul Power left.

He had just taken a Rejuvenation Pill two hours earlier, and taking another now would not be very effective.

He found a place to lie down, leaving a trace of awareness in the Lower Star Palace’s Mingji Star Pattern. The next moment, Xu Jin’s head sank, and he fell asleep.

This was one of the benefits of having powerful Divine Soul Power—sleep on demand!

Within the Autumn Examination Secret Realm of the Da Chen National Daoist School, what all the disciples didn’t know was that as soon as they had stepped into the First or Second-tier Star Domains, the Mountain Masters, instructors, and academicians, along with the Vice Academicians of the National Daoist School and various State and County Daoist Schools, had once again arrived at the Secret Realm.

The National Master Cheng Yue Xiao was notably present.

The Second-tier Star Domain’s activation authority was in the hands of the National Master, so his presence was essential.

In the sky, two enormous orbs of light flickered.

Within one of the orbs, over eight hundred names flashed—that was the First-tier Star Domain.

Aside from the disciples who had passed the preliminary selection, a few more spots to enter and cast stars in the First-tier Star Domain had been allocated to State Daoist Schools, so the number exceeded eight hundred.

But within the orb belonging to the Second-tier Fire Radiant Star Domain, only sixteen names were flashing.

With the only extra being Lv Kun.

This was something even the National Master Cheng Yue Xiao approved of.

A courageous legacy!

It was what they deserved.

Suddenly, within the First-tier Star Domain orb, several names turned gray.

”Check who they are from, and see if it’s because they have died or returned,” asked the sitting Chief Instructor Yu Da.

After a few dozen breaths, a response came from the respective Mountain Masters who rushed to report.

”Reporting to the National Master, our Disciple He Jin has left the First-tier Star Domain with a one-inch seven middle-grade Star Core.”

”Reporting to the National Master, our Disciple...”

Several Mountain Masters quickly checked the situation and replied promptly, adhering to the practice of the Da Chen National Daoist School.

Although the Autumn Examination of the Da Chen National Daoist School selected eight hundred talents to enter, in the end, only those disciples who succeeded in casting stars and returned alive could be truly considered as having been selected for the National Daoist School.

If they failed to cast a star, then they would no longer be eligible.

And if they died within the Star Domain, then it went without saying.

For five or six hours straight, the names of disciples kept dimming, and joyous reports came one after another.

Up to this point, all the disciples had been in the Star Domain for more than twelve hours.

Within those twelve hours, over six hundred Disciples had returned, mostly Inner Sect Disciples with a few Core Disciples.

Three had cast top-grade Star Cores, five had failed in casting, and three had died in battle within the Star Domain.

The five failures and three deaths were considered very normal numbers.

It was just that the number of Disciples who had cast top-grade Star Cores seemed a bit low.

Nevertheless, the majority of those who cast top-grade Star Cores were likely among the last two hundred or so remaining.

Inside the Fire Radiant Star Domain, Xu Jin, who had been deep in sleep, was abruptly awakened.

Within the Lower Star Palace, the Mingji Star Core, formed mainly by the Mingji Star Pattern, was flickering with light, signaling the approach of enemies.

Five enemies, all within a hundred meters or so, with the closest one being less than ninety meters away.

Although the Mingji Star Pattern had significantly increased the alert distance after Star Casting, a hundred meters was still a very dangerous distance.

For an Expert at the Star Refining Realm, it would take only one or two uses of the Flying Star Step to launch an attack.

Thus, the moment he was alert, Xu Jin burst forth with the Flying Star Step and charged towards the weakest of the southeastern enemies—a Red Scale Warrior at the Peak of the Star Casting Realm.

In a swift pass, Xu Jin delivered a punch that exploded twice with Star Radiance, instantly blasting the Peak Star Casting Realm enemy to pieces.

Almost at the same time, the other four enemies simultaneously surged forth to attack Xu Jin.
