Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 399: Chapter 178 The Big Gift Package from the Teacher_3

*****

In the quiet room of the small courtyard, Xu Jin drank a cup of tea personally brewed by Jiang’er. The fragrance of the tea gradually calmed his heart.

He began to carefully ponder his cultivation path.

Currently, his cultivation level at the Lower Star Palace had reached the peak of the Fourth Layer Refining Star, and he was now able to engrave star patterns.

After engraving the star patterns, Xu Jin would be able to upgrade his cultivation level.

For the next period, Xu Jin could freely upgrade his cultivation level.

With so many rewards as a foundation, no one would suspect him regardless of how quickly he advanced his cultivation level.

Finally, Xu Jin chose to engrave the Great Gathering Star Pattern of the Third-tier Upper on the additional star pattern slots of the Lower Star Palace.

As for the newly acquired Great Gathering Star Pattern of the Fourth Tier Upper, it would still take some time to successfully engrave it.

Ideally, the star pattern that should currently be engraved in the Lower Star Palace is the Swimming Fish Star Pattern of the Fifth Tier Middle but Xu Jin checked and found that the Fifth Tier star patterns, compared to the Fourth Tier, were more than twice as complex, and even under the illumination of a Star Lamp, would need at least one or two days.

To not delay his cultivation, Xu Jin chose to first engrave the Great Gathering Star Pattern of the Third-tier Upper, and then supplement with further engravings.

Afterwards, Xu Jin organized the emblems and pills that needed nourishment.

The emblems were already fully nourished.

Mainly, it was the pills, especially the newly acquired Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pill, which would surely need to be nourished three times for their effects to be maximized.

Xu Jin had thrown four of them into the Star Lamp for nourishment early on.

Other locations, still needed to nurture other pills.

There were no more positions available for nourishment.

The upgrade at the Candou Platform was urgent!

******

At night, Xu Jin directly entered the Star-picking Secret Realm.

He easily obtained two Copper Stars.

Then, he challenged the Silver Star Gatekeeper.

Thirty seconds later, Xu Jin obtained a Silver Star.

Next, Xu Jin challenged the Silver Star Level Heart Demon.

Forty seconds later, Xu Jin obtained another Silver Star.

[Eligible to challenge the Gold Star Level Gatekeeper and Heart Demon, would you like to challenge?]

Xu Jin took a deep breath and made his decision.

[Challenge]

In the next instant, as the light shifted, a blurred figure resembling Xu Jin appeared opposite him.

This time, Xu Jin chose to challenge the Gold Star Level Heart Demon.

Previously, during the challenges at the Copper and Silver Star levels, Xu Jin noticed something interesting: the Heart Demons of the Copper and Silver Star levels did not deploy any Thunder Star Skills other than the Thunder Snake.

And Xu Jin had only used Fire Series Star Skills during his recent challenges.

Hence, Xu Jin arrived at a conclusion.

The Heart Demons within the Star-picking Secret Realm did not mimic everything Xu Jin knew, but rather, they showcased the abilities that Xu Jin had demonstrated in the associated secret realms within the Star Tower.

It seemed that only the Star Power Realm was copied.

Previously, when Xu Jin entered and fought in the Third Tier Purple Wind Star Domain through the Star Tower, although it was accessed via the Star Tower, it was not actually one of the secret realms of the Star Tower, but a real Star Domain.

With this realization, Xu Jin felt relieved.

It seemed like a little BUG had been exploited.

Regardless, he aimed to obtain a Gold Star first.

At the instant the battle commenced, Xu Jin instantly employed the Blast Thunder Step, rushing within five meters in front of the Heart Demon, having prepared the Breaking Evil, which he immediately unleashed.

The Breaking Evil Xu Jin learned came from the Sixth Tier Lower Breaking Evil of the Lingji Star Hall.

The Breaking Evil Star Pattern taught at the Dachen National Daoist School was currently only as strong as the Fourth Order Middle.

And according to Qi, even the Breaking Evil Star Patterns of the two great Star Halls wouldn’t exceed the Fourth Tier Upper.

Mainly, it was because the Divine Soul Star Pattern was too difficult to deduce.

The power could be imagined.

This was also one of the reasons why Xu Jin’s Breaking Evil Star Pattern had repeatedly proven effective within the Third Tier Purple Wind Star Domain!

With powerful Divine Soul Power and a strong Breaking Evil Star Pattern, it was hard not to achieve successful results!

Previously, when Xu Jin faced the Heart Demon, he had also used Breaking Evil.

However, at that time, his speed was almost the same as the Heart Demon, and even if Breaking Evil was prepared, there wasn’t much opportunity to use it.

At this moment, Xu Jin instantly closed in; the Breaking Evil Arrow blasted right into the Upper Star Palace of the Heart Demon.

The Heart Demon’s Divine Soul Cultivation was also at the Eighth Layer Refining Star, but as Xu Jin had discovered, its Divine Soul Secret Technique couldn’t be copied.

The next instant, Xu Jin saw the Heart Demon briefly stagnate, it was a very short moment.

This was the effects of the Breaking Evil strike.

That time was enough!

Almost simultaneously, Flame Burst and Thunder Rope blasted out.

Thunder Rope to trap, Flame Burst to kill!

This was a proven effective tactical combination Xu Jin had developed after continuous battles with Fourth Layer experts in the Third Tier Purple Wind Star Domain.

It proved exceptionally effective against the Heart Demon as well!

A Flame Burst was unleashed, directly shattering the defensive luminescence of the Heart Demon.

The Heart Demon’s starlight burst underneath it, seeming to distance itself.

But it was bound by the Thunder Rope.

The next instant, a Flame Burst targeted Xu Jin.

Xu Jin’s form flitted like a willow catkin, instantly dodging; his left hand launched a Flame Burst.

His right hand slightly beckoned, and Thunder Light spiraled erratically, barraging towards the Heart Demon.

Fingers unleashed rapid strikes.

In an extremely short span of time, Xu Jin had completely depleted the Star Power within his Lower Star Palace, launching several hundred Thunder Arrows.

The Thunder Light completely engulfed the Heart Demon.

The next instant, a message prompt floated in front of Xu Jin.

[Congratulations on successfully challenging the Gold Star Level Heart Demon and obtaining a Gold Star]
