Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 477: Chapter 206 Authority_3

After obtaining the Bright Star, such a reward would be given.

Xu Jin had thought that upon successfully challenging and obtaining the Bright Star, he likely would receive an opportunity for higher-tier Tao Derivation.

However, unexpectedly, he directly obtained the holding authority of the Star-picking Tower.

It was somewhat like the State Preceptor.

But clearly, the State Preceptor’s holding authority should be higher than his own.

Xu Jin’s copper-level authority allowed him to enter the Star Dome Secret Realm only once a month, but the State Preceptor seemed able to enter at will?

What then is the State Preceptor’s authority over the Star-picking Tower?

Suddenly, Xu Jin’s gaze fell on the second item: the ability to freely handle his own information?

What did that mean?

”Star Spirit?”

Xu Jin tentatively called out, wasn’t he supposed to be able to awaken the Star Spirit and get help?

No response at all?

”Star Spirit?”

Xu Jin waited for a few moments, still no response.

”Star Spirit? Star Spirit?”

Xu Jin called out loudly, but still received no answer.

This baffled Xu Jin immensely.

Was the method of awakening incorrect?

”Star...”

”Enough, it’s so noisy! Are you calling a soul?

As long as you are within the Star-picking Tower, whatever you say, I can hear!

Spit it out if you have something to say, let it out if you need to vent!”

Xu Jin: ”...”

Xu Jin gritted his teeth in frustration, feeling an urge to hit someone, yet unable to do so.

This Star Spirit seemed to have a bit of a bad temper!

”What’s with the teeth-gritting, if you want to hit or scold me, just do it directly, no need to hide it, if I’m scared of you, then I’m a wuss!” The Star Spirit’s rant boomed again.

”Are you going through menopause?”

Xu Jin suddenly asked.

The voice from the Star Dome Secret Realm paused, ”What’s menopause? I’ve never heard of this term?”

Xu Jin explained menopause briefly, though modified some concepts, every person or being goes through menopause!

The Star Spirit paused, ”Seems like it!”

”I’ve been guarding this place for I don’t know how many years, every day just watching you lot come and go, year after year, the antics repetitious, utterly meaningless, driving me utterly mad...”

...

Xu Jin merely said one sentence, and the Star Spirit ranted at least twenty.

A profound wave of complaining husband and wife spirit hit him.

”You’re very bored?”

”Bored out of my skull, earlier there used to be a lad who would talk with me, but then he stopped coming.

There are some Holders too, initially they came frequently, then over the years, even decades, they rarely show up, it’s killing me with boredom!” the Star Spirit continued its rant.

”Are there many Holders?” Xu Jin asked.

”Of course.”

This definitive reply surprised Xu Jin, leaving him somewhat disappointed.

He had thought he was one of the few holders of the authority of the Star-picking Tower?

After all, the record in the Star-picking Secret Realm still stood at zero!

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, Xu Jin realized another issue.

”Can the authority of the holder only be obtained by acquiring a Bright Star?” Xu Jin asked.

Upon Xu Jin’s question, the Star Spirit immediately stopped its rant and answered his question.

”No.”

”How many ways are there?”

”Several.”

”Specifically?”

”Your authority isn’t sufficient to disclose that.”

”How many obtained the Star-picking Tower authority through acquiring the Bright Star?”

”Many.”

”Specifically how many?”

”Your authority isn’t enough.”

”F**k!”

”What does ’f**k’ mean?”

Xu Jin was taken aback, he reluctantly explained, and the Star Spirit resumed its complaining mode.

After communicating for a while, Xu Jin also picked up on the Star Spirit’s characteristics.

Apparently limited by rules, upon questioning, the Star Spirit would answer, but after answering, it would launch into a tirade mode.

Such a chatterbox!

During this period, Xu Jin also learned much.

Why was the Bright Star record in the Star-picking Secret Realm zero?

Because everyone who obtained a Bright Star would then obtain the copper-level holding authority of the Star-picking Tower, and this authority’s second item, the free disposition of one’s own information, essentially meant one could choose to hide one’s own public information in the Star-picking Tower.

Like this time’s acquisition of the Bright Star, Xu Jin could choose to hide it.

Thus, the record of successfully challenging the Bright Star in the Star-picking Secret Realm returned to zero!

Damn, no wonder for so many years the Bright Star challenge record had always been zero.

Turns out everyone had been hiding their information after success.

Now, Xu Jin also joined the legion of the old rogues!

As for how many there were exactly, it was hard to say.

The Star Spirit wouldn’t say.

Xu Jin guessed, not too many, but definitely not too few.

Certainly not a single-digit number.

The quantity of Bright Stars acquired by the Star-picking Tower was probably in the double digits.

After all, the Star-picking Tower had existed for thousands upon thousands of years.

Besides, Xu Jin could also hide the number of Gold Stars he successfully challenged.

But only those thereafter.

The number of Gold Stars already succeeded now had been registered and could no longer be hidden.

Moreover, a lot more information could be hidden.

Like the God-Killing Battlefield.

Xu Jin could challenge to the limit and then choose to hide the ranking.

But, the God-Killing Battlefield belongs to another set of rule systems of the Da Chen National Daoist School, if he chose to hide the ranking, Xu Jin would not be able to receive the Taoist Merit reward.

Looking at it this way, the number of Bright Stars and Gold Stars acquired by all forces in history is probably far higher than what the Star-picking Secret Realm shows.

At this thought, Xu Jin suddenly had a thought, an idea emerging in his mind: had the State Preceptor hidden anything in this regard?

”Star Spirit, since there is a copper-tier holding authority, there should be a silver-tier holding authority, so how can one obtain the silver-tier holding authority?” Xu Jin asked.

”I don’t know.”

The Star Spirit unenthusiastically replied.

”What’s with that attitude?”

”For non-fundamental questions, if I, the Master, don’t feel like answering, I won’t, it’s all up to my mood.” The Star Spirit arrogantly said.
