Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 569: Chapter 236: Waiting for the Right Time Part 2

But the authority of the Star-picking Tower Master can only be bestowed by the will of the Star-picking Tower itself.

For example, the Main Building of the Da Chen Star Tower gained approval from the will of the Star-picking Tower itself after applying and then provided a massive amount of resources to get it!

Under such circumstances, those in the world who can use the protection of the Star Dome Secret Realm are few and far between!

Cheng Yuxiao estimated that the current number of protectors who could use the Star Dome Secret Realm might exceed twenty, but those whose Cultivation Level was below the Fifth Tier should not number more than a handful!

What’s more bizarre is that Lingji Remnant just now.

His cultivation aura was a little strange.

At first, the aura that burst out seemed a bit like the Third and Fourth Layers of Star Condensation, but then the aura from the Thunder Light that exploded felt more like the Ninth Layer of Refining Star.

However, because the appearance and disappearance happened too quickly, the sensation wasn’t very clear.

Thunder Star Skill...

Suddenly, Cheng Yuxiao’s gaze sharply focused!

His expression turned strange, and his heart uncontrollably skipped a beat!

”Could it be that kid?”

In an instant, Cheng Yuxiao recalled the Starlight Transmissions that Xu Jin had sent him previously.

At that time, he didn’t think much of it!

It was quite normal.

Just a curious young man!

But now, piecing it all together, Cheng Yuxiao’s heart thumped wildly a few times.

Could it really be that the kid had audaciousness that reached the heavens?

Starlight Transmission.

The aura of Refining Star’s Ninth Layer.

Thunder Star Skill.

Cheng Yuxiao just happened to know that Xu Jin, that kid, possessed the Thunder Star Skill.

Add another—the Chaotic Star Skill!

Completing the final link!

This Chaotic Star Pendant was also what he had given to Xu Jin!

No wonder...

Cheng Yuxiao was instantly filled with burning anxiety!

And suddenly, he feared!

If something were to happen to Xu Jin, even killing two Hu Zhens wouldn’t be enough compensation!

But the next moment, Cheng Yuxiao steeled himself.

Looking at the situation, that kid must have hidden in the Star Dome Secret Realm and chosen the Star Dome Protection.

Then he should be safe within two hours.

After two hours, unless the Tianyang Star Lord directly surrounded the Star Tower branch in Peach Blossom County, that kid should be safe.

Suddenly, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao frowned.

He remembered that Xu Jin’s Star-picking Order should be First Tier, right?

It’s a shame the kid hadn’t upgraded to Second Tier.

If he had reached the Second Tier, he would be safe.

He could’ve directly been transferred back to the Da Chen Star Tower from the Peach Blossom County branch, then who could have done anything to him?

Not to mention doing anything; they wouldn’t have been able to find even a shred of evidence.

Cheng Yuxiao originally intended to directly ask Xu Jin.

But thinking about how sensitive the identity of a Lingji Remnant was, he better not scare Xu Jin.

Thinking it over, Cheng Yuxiao sent a Starlight Transmission to issue orders to others, trying to check on Xu Jin’s condition.

He almost gave the order.

But he did not.

A few breaths later, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao sent a Starlight Transmission directly to Elder Peng.

[Elder Peng, immediately transfer back to the National Daoist Institute and check if Xu Jin is there, don’t disturb him, just confirm his condition is all.]

Elder Peng, though puzzled, executed the Palace Master’s command immediately.

In an instant, he flew toward the Star Tower branch in Peach Blossom County.

In theory, he could return to the Da Chen National Daoist Institute within 100 breaths.

*****

Just having been transferred back to the Star Dome Secret Realm of the Star-picking Tower, Xu Jin sighed in relief but also felt some regret.

Regret for not upgrading his Star-picking Order earlier.

Luckily, his luck wasn’t too bad.

When using the Chaotic Star Skill, he was randomly transferred to the southeast direction.

To the direct east of Shilong County was the direction of Peach Blossom County; being sent to the southeast just veered slightly off, but he was still within two hundred li of the branch’s sensing range.

If he had been transferred southwest of Shilong County, that would have been disastrous.

To the southwest were boundless mountains, and he would have probably been sent beyond the coverage range of the First Tier Star-picking Order.

At that time, he would have to move a distance to enter the starlight coverage range of the Star Tower branch before he could use the Star Dome Protection of the Star Tower.

That would have been dangerous.

However, it was only in the southwest direction that he would be transported out of the Star Tower’s starlight coverage range.

This place was located in the south, where counties were densely packed, and there were many Star Tower branches, with most areas falling within the coverage range of the Star Tower’s starlight.

While relishing his good fortune, Xu Jin didn’t know that one of his thoughts coincided with that of State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

That was to upgrade his Star-picking Order to the Second Tier as soon as possible.

If he had a Second Tier Star-picking Order, Xu Jin could now have been transferred openly.

He could have directly transferred back to the Da Chen National Daoist Institute, and then he would have been completely safe.

And completely free of suspicion.

But no matter what, today’s plan was a success.

The surprise attack killed the slaughtering devil Hu Zhen!

Exhilarating!

The entire process was within Xu Jin’s calculation.

From action to successful escape, the total time spent was less than three breaths, not exceeding six seconds!

Extremely successful!

The Thunder Star Skill is naturally a nemesis to the Divine Soul, inflicting great damage to the Primordial Spirit.

He struck, exterminating Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit, first used the Fourth Tier Star Artifact, Chaotic Star Pendant’s Chaotic Star Skill to flash away a hundred li, and also utilized the once-a-year Star Dome Protection of the Star-picking Tower.

Xu Jin had already inquired clear details about the Star Dome Protection from the Star Spirit beforehand.

Otherwise, Xu Jin wouldn’t dare to use it recklessly.

Let alone gamble with his life!

And the identity of a Lingji Remnant, including the Invisibility Technique, was deliberately displayed by Xu Jin.

It was to avoid implicating Da Chen, not to create more trouble for the State Preceptor.

As for the Early Period of the Fourth Tier Star Condensation that Qin Da sensed, that was also deliberate by Xu Jin.

At the moment of action, Xu Jin stopped the functioning of the Guicang Star Pattern, released all of his Divine Soul Cultivation, and used Star Power to temporarily fake the fluctuation of the Early Period of Fourth Tier Star Condensation.
