Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 449: Chapter 195 Dongfang Bubai_2

If Xu Jin could condense the third Divine Soul Star, then he would be at Condensed Star Second Level.

However, when the Cultivation level advances to the Star Condensing Realm, whether it be Divine Soul Cultivation or Star Power Cultivation, the differences in strength within the Condensed Star First Level are considerable.

This differentiation in strength is actually related to the Cultivation level and tier of the second star.

If this second Divine Soul Star reached the Refining Star Fourth Layer, then it would be the middle period of Condensed Star First Level.

Cultivation wise, the middle period of Condensed Star First Level is definitely stronger than the early period of Condensed Star First Level.

But as for Combat Power, that’s a different story.

Combat Power mainly depends on the strength of a person’s Star Skill and Star Pattern, and whether the Star Skills and Star Patterns are systematized.

In the Martial World, the higher a Loose Cultivator’s Cultivation, the weaker their Combat Power in the same realm, and this is not without reason.

The lack of Star Patterns is almost like defeating an opponent one by one, ultimately failing to systemize, naturally weakening the Combat Power.

Upon introspection, within Xu Jin’s Upper Star Palace, two Divine Soul Stars—one strong and one weak—were spinning, and as soon as Xu Jin had a thought, he could simultaneously draw upon the Divine Soul Power within the two Star Cores.

Compared to before the breakthrough, Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Power had increased by about thirty to forty percent.

Xu Jin tried the Breaking Evil Arrow and suddenly, unexpectedly and pleasantly discovered that the power of the Breaking Evil Arrow had jumped by half.

Looking inwardly again, Xu Jin found the source.

Previously, when Xu Jin used the Divine Soul Secret Technique, Breaking Evil Arrow, only the first Divine Soul Star provided the Divine Soul Power for the attack.

However, after Star Condensation, the second Divine Soul Star also participated in the power supply.

Within the same duration of activation, power supplied by two Divine Soul Stars meant a definite large increase in the power of the Breaking Evil Arrow.

This discovery gave Xu Jin food for thought.

This is probably the reason why many experts only cultivate one or two series of Star Power.

The more mixed the cultivation, the weaker the Combat Power in the later stages.

Based on this characteristic, Xu Jin also needed to readjust his own cultivation plan.

With this thought, Xu Jin decisively took action and took out the Refining God Golden Pill he acquired in the Purple Wind Star Domain.

This Refining God Golden Pill, seized from a Seventh Layer strong individual in the Third Tier Purple Wind Star Domain by Zi Yang, was meant as a bribe from the Tianyang Star Hall talent, Tian Lie, and ended up in Xu Jin’s hands.

Having obtained it, Xu Jin put it into the Candou Platform for nourishment.

Now it had just reached Third Essence.

Thinking it might as well be done completely, Xu Jin took it all together.

Previously, Xu Jin was wondering, now that the Candou Platform had ascended to Fourth Tier, could the pills possibly reach Fourth Essence?

There was a possibility, but testing was needed.

Previously, nurturing a pill to Third Essence required thirteen days, from Second to Third Essence took nine days; following this temporal pattern, if a pill were to reach Fourth Essence, it could take about a month.

A bit long.

The future is not as good as what’s present.

Especially after encountering an assassination attempt, Xu Jin felt that any amount of theoretical strength pales in comparison to real existing power, which only truly comes into play during critical moments.

Since it’s Third Essence, better to use it to enhance strength now.

If experiments show that the pill can really reach Fourth Essence, then given Xu Jin’s current resources, obtaining another Refining God Golden Pill and nurting it to Fourth Essence before using won’t have an overly diminished effect.

In the next moment, another Third Essence Refining God Golden Pill entered his mouth, and instantly a cool breeze rushed into his brain, causing Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Star to swiftly grow larger.

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Jin’s second Divine Soul Star in the Upper Star Palace reached Refining Star Third Layer Peak.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and it reached Refining Star Fourth Layer Peak.

However, the efficacy of this second Refining God Golden Pill allowed Xu Jin’s second Divine Soul Star to break through to Refining Star Fifth Layer, reaching the middle period of Refining Star Fifth Layer after which the drug efficacy was exhausted.

Boosting the Divine Soul Power by three layers.

And successfully advancing Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Cultivation to the middle period of Condensed Star First Level.

Upon trying again, the power of the Breaking Evil Arrow had once again increased, with the boost exceeding eighty percent compared to before.

This made Xu Jin beaming with confidence.

The possibility of picking the Bright Star seemed once again heightened.

With this, the most precious pill that Xu Jin had for enhancing Divine Soul Power was used up.

He still had nineteen Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills remaining; Xu Jin planned to nurture them to Third Essence before taking them, wondering if they could help his Divine Soul Cultivation break through to Condensed Star Second Level?

Of course, a few should still be left for Ning Yuchan.

At this point, on Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Star Core, there were up to eight empty Star Pattern positions.

Xu Jin’s first Divine Soul Star Core had a total of ten Star Pattern positions, currently engraved with Clear Soul, Guicang, Elephant Concealing, Warm Dream, Suppressing Intent, and Breaking Evil totaling six Star Patterns, with four more spots vacant; his second Divine Soul Star Core currently had five Star Pattern positions, only one engraved with Clear Soul and still four positions available.

Any Star Pattern position on the second Divine Soul Star Core must form a systematized set of Divine Soul Star Patterns, necessitating utmost caution.

But on the first Divine Soul Star, Xu Jin was ready to start engraving the four star patterns.

With the second Divine Soul Star serving as the main base for battle, the star patterns of the first Divine Soul Star core could focus on practicality.

Thinking it over, Xu Jin took out the Divine Soul Inheritance Jade Scroll from the Candou Platform, which Qi had given him.

Star Power and Divine Soul Power were input, light flowed, and in an instant, the seal left by Qi was broken, revealing three star pattern descriptions in front of Xu Jin.

These three Divine Soul Star Patterns were Intent Illusion, Object Controlling, and Shock and Fear.

Intent Illusion Star Pattern, Fourth Tier Upper, could pull targets into illusions through attacks on the Divine Soul and, in combination with Star Mist, could also create illusions, serving as one of the components of the Clone Technique.

Shock and Fear, Fifth Tier Lower, a Divine Soul attack star pattern, could target groups or individuals, instilling fear by evoking the deepest fears within the target’s heart, amplifying them repeatedly, thereby severely disrupting the target and creating opportunities for combat.

These two star patterns were quite standard and within Xu Jin’s expectations.

From the introduction, one could see that the effects of these two star patterns were not very strong individually but could be quite different when combined with other star patterns.

Xu Jin first thought of combining Breaking Evil with Shock and Fear, which would definitely enhance the power of the Breaking Evil Arrow.

Once this star pattern was successfully engraved, Xu Jin might try to evolve Divine Soul Star Techniques during the next Candou Platform deduction.

However, what surprised Xu Jin the most was the Object Controlling Star Pattern, especially the Lingji Star Hall’s description of it.

Object Controlling: a Fifth Tier Upper Star pattern, extremely sharp in effect, once served as the most important foundational star pattern of the Lingji Star Hall’s Object-Controlling Sect and also one of the foundational components for spatial transference.

From this introduction, it was very significant.

But this mention of the Lingji Star Hall’s Object-Controlling Sect made Xu Jin find it very intriguing.

Object-Controlling Sect?

Sword Control?

Could there possibly be Sword Control Mages in the Lingji Star Hall?

The more Xu Jin thought about it, the more he felt it was a possibility.

Star Artifacts, ah.

Good Star Artifacts could be large or small.

Like the Fourth Tier Star Stepping Boots Xu Jin was wearing now, they could adjust in size, automatically fitting snugly on the foot, whether big or small.

So what if he got hold of a sword-shaped Star Artifact?

Could it fulfill Xu Jin’s dream of Sword Flight?

Absolutely possible!

As for the related Star Skill combinations, others might not dare to attempt them.

But Xu Jin dared.

Not recklessly, but because Xu Jin had the capacity for evolving through the Star Lamp.

As long as he used Object Controlling as a base and combined it with other star patterns for evolution, it might actually work.

If not, even a Gold Star could derive from Tao.

And if all else fails, controlling an embroidery needle would also be incredibly powerful.

Appearing and vanishing unpredictably, killing enemies unseen.

What would that be?

The Interdimensional version of Dongfang Bubai?

However, the good thing is that there’s no need for castration.

If it really worked out, it would be quite nice.

In an instant, Xu Jin was filled with interest.

Decided, for the next few days, Xu Jin would focus solely on engraving these three Divine Soul Star Patterns within the Star Lamp.

He would first engrave these three Divine Soul Star Patterns onto the first Divine Soul Star.

The star pattern positions on the second Divine Soul Star couldn’t be touched lightly yet.

Having made his decision, Xu Jin slowly stood up, stretching lazily!

It had been a night full of gains.

Suddenly, Xu Jin saw the leather pouch he had picked up when he was assassinated that day.

Inside was a jade piece.

Xu Jin hadn’t looked at it, fearing he could be tracked, and had kept it directly in the Candou Platform.

Now, with his Divine Soul Cultivation greatly advanced, he should be able to handle it.

In the next moment, Xu Jin took out the captured jade piece, activated the Suppressing Intent Star Pattern, and his thoughts surged in!
