Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 596: Chapter 246 Shifting Flower and Prudence_3

In the end, efforts would be doubled for half the accomplishment.

At present, Xu Jin still had two Gold Stars and two Bright Stars left.

Therefore, Xu Jin decided to keep them for now.

He continued to study the handbooks related to the Earth Series Star Patterns, and after making enough preparations, he would use the Gold Stars to deduce the Earth Origin Star Pattern.

Looking at the time, there was just over an hour left of the Star Dome Enlightenment time given by the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

Xu Jin didn’t waste any time; he began to comprehend the Earth Origin Star Pattern of Seventh Tier Lower right there and then.

It had to be said that the effect of comprehending Star Patterns within the Star Dome Secret Realm was indeed extraordinarily strong.

An hour later, the Earth Origin Star Pattern of the Sixth Tier Upper in Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace suddenly trembled, and a star in the heavens also trembled slightly as if in response.

However, this resonance only occurred for an instant before disappearing.

Xu Jin tried to resonate again but failed no matter what he did.

Helpless, Xu Jin immersed himself in research again.

But in the focused process of comprehension, that previously mentioned resonance with a certain star among the stars happened four more times.

Each occurrence lasted slightly longer than the previous one.

Each resonance was slightly more profound than the last.

This greatly surprised Xu Jin!

Who said that cultivators below the Sixth Tier couldn’t directly comprehend Seventh Tier Star Patterns?

He felt that he was close!

But just when Xu Jin felt he was close, the brilliance of the stars in the sky disappeared in an instant, and the Star Dome Secret Realm in front of him instantly reverted to normal.

The figure of the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao appeared in the corner.

The three hours of Star Dome Enlightenment time were over.

Upon seeing this, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao looked towards Xu Jin. Although he didn’t ask, his eyes were brimming with expectation!

Fire Origin of high-tier Eighth Tier Middle!

Killing Dream of seventh-tier middle!

Breaking Evil of seventh-tier middle!

Swimming Fish of Eighth Tier Lower!

This time, aside from Clear Soul, Xu Jin held nothing back.

Although the State Preceptor’s face remained calm, the surprise and turmoil in his heart were beyond description.

Every Star Pattern that Xu Jin deduced that day could greatly enhance his strength.

The high-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern of Eighth Tier Middle, this pace was simply astounding, and the State Preceptor estimated that Xu Jin must have used two Bright Stars!

Currently, the strongest Wind Origin Star Pattern at the Da Chen National Daoist School was only at Eighth Tier Middle.

Now, Xu Jin had added a high-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern of Eighth Tier Middle directly to the Da Chen National Daoist School.

There was no need to release the high-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern of Eighth Tier Middle; just releasing the Eighth Tier Lower high-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern was enough to give those who had failed their Seventh Tier breakthroughs a chance to try again.

It might even create another Eighth Tier expert.

Of course, this possibility was not large.

But after all, it was still there.

State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao was even more thrilled by the Swimming Fish Star Pattern of Eighth Tier Lower.

He had noticed the important role of the Swimming Fish Star Pattern very early on and wanted to deduce it.

Because it was one of the few Star Patterns that could directly enhance the Practical Combat Ability of a practitioner like him at the Eighth Tier.

But when human energy is limited, one’s energy is extremely finite. He had too many things to do, and time was limited.

So, the rank of the Swimming Fish Star Pattern had been put on hold.

Now, Xu Jin had enhanced it during his deduction, and he promoted it all the way to Eighth Tier Lower.

In the future, this would undoubtedly bring a huge surprise to some people!

Of course, the biggest shock was Warm Dream turning into Killing Dream!

The teacher’s speculation was true.

Once the Warm Dream Star Pattern was deduced to the Seventh Tier and above, it could become a Slaughter Star Pattern, a very powerful one at that.

Sure enough!

Yet, neither the teacher nor he had achieved this goal.

The Gold Stars they obtained were limited, and there were far too many uses for them.

But now, Xu Jin had accomplished it for them.

For a moment, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao even thought about taking Xu Jin as his junior brother in place of his teacher.

He thought about it, then decided against it.

Doing so would not only complicate relationships within the National Taoist Institute but also bring significant risk to Xu Jin.

”Do not pass the Swimming Fish Star Pattern to any member of the Song Family unless they trade it for the Rain Curtain Star Pattern?”

Hearing Xu Jin’s instructions, Cheng Yuxiao laughed.

”I’ll remember that.”

As he spoke, to ensure that this would be carried out, the State Preceptor even invoked the Nine Bright Chime to place a seal on himself.

”State Preceptor, the Meteor Star Pattern that I deduced earlier at the Sixth Tier Upper, as well as the Breaking Evil Star Pattern, Fire Origin Star Pattern, and Swimming Fish Star Pattern I deduced today, should be taught first to Kou Jing, Academician Kou, and Liu Feiyan, Vice Academician Liu.

They are truly good teachers, and as their student, I want to repay them a little bit.

I hope that the latest versions of the Meteor, Swimming Fish, and Breaking Evil Star Patterns are passed directly to them, and then just place a seal on them.

As for how to pass them on to others, you can decide,” said Xu Jin, clearly expressing his opinion.

”Don’t worry, I will!

I’m sure they will be proud of having you as their student,” said Cheng Yuxiao.

*****

On the evening of November 1st, Xu Jin invisibly left the National Taoist Institute, then, in the guise of Heavenly Saint Qi, went to the Changsheng Auction House to participate in the monthly auction.

And just as Xu Jin entered the Changsheng Auction House as Heavenly Saint Qi, Chief Chu, the Grand Steward, quietly came up behind Emperor Qian’an Gao Ye in the Imperial Palace.

It wasn’t until Emperor Qian’an Gao Ye looked up that Chief Chu reported in a low voice.

”Your Majesty, according to the previous investigations by the Imperial City Guard, there is a great chance that Xu Jin will attend the Changsheng Auction again, which is one of his few opportunities to leave the National Taoist Institute.

However, the auction at the Changsheng Auction House has already started.

Xu Jin has shown no signs of leaving the National Taoist Institute.

It seems we might have to abandon this operation,” said Chief Chu.

”He didn’t go?”

”Seems so. Haven’t seen him leave the National Taoist Institute, and the Imperial City Guard under my command can’t interfere with the internal affairs there,” Chief Chu replied, bowing his head.

”He’s cautious enough.”

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Qian’an Gao Ye set down the imperial brush he had lifted and then said, ”In that case, withdraw the men.”

”Withdraw?” Chief Chu was somewhat puzzled.

”Your companion should have sensed the unusual fluctuations in the stars these days, right?”

”Indeed.”

”Then the Nine-star Tide is expected in the next few days. There will be opportunities everywhere then, and we can act accordingly.

For now, it’s unnecessary to get into a tiff with the State Preceptor,” Emperor Qian’an Gao Ye stated.

”Your Majesty is right.”

Chief Chu bowed slightly, ”I’ll go and make preparations.”

In the next instant, Emperor Qian’an Gao Ye’s gaze sharpened, causing Old Chief Chu’s steps to abruptly halt, and he turned back to stand at attention.

”About that matter, how’s the preparation going?” asked Emperor Qian’an Gao Ye.

”Your Majesty, everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of the Nine-star Tide, and it can be seamlessly erased,” Chief Chu said.

”Good, that’s very good.”
