Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 897: Chapter 359: Fifth-tier Candou Platform (Part 2)

The total price nearly reached 130,000 strands of starlight, but there were still more than 60,000 strands of starlight needed. In the end, Xu Jin paid with sixty-three pieces of Fifth-Order Star Jade and left.

Fourth and Fifth-Order Star Jade, no matter where, are hard currency, even harder than starlight in the Star-picking Tower.

As for the Sixth Order Star Jade, it has a considerable premium.

After finishing all this, the State Preceptor’s starlight transmission had not yet arrived, so Xu Jin decided to directly enter the Star Dome Secret Realm inside the Star-picking Tower branch.

Using this safe environment for upgrading the Candou Platform.

The next instant, Xu Jin’s mind stirred slightly, and he absorbed the last missing three Red Sparrow Feathers into the Candou Platform, then chose to absorb them.

The moment the three Red Sparrow Feathers were absorbed, the starlight immediately flickered on the Candou Platform, and the words [Upgradeable] on the Star Jade of the Candou Platform changed.

Familiar with all this, Xu Jin’s mind stirred slightly, choosing [Upgrade]

In an instant, from Xu Jin’s perspective, the Candou Platform suddenly burst with thousands of starlights, which gathered together and soared into the sky like a clear light.

In the starry sky, the star domain where the North Dipper Stars are located, at the moment the starlight soared into the sky, the nine stars responded simultaneously, shining brightly.

The next moment, the vast starlight converged down from the North Dipper Stars at an incredible speed, with various wonders, infusing Xu Jin’s Candou Platform.

In an instant, as if the stars fell, the starlight was radiant on the Candou Platform, inside and outside seemingly undergoing changes.

Simultaneously, in the Da Chen National Taoist Institute, urgently contacting Cheng Yuxiao, the Great State Preceptor of the Jichuan Star Domain, suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, and in an instant, his eyes were as bright as stars.

”North Dipper Stars, have they moved again?

But in the present world, there are no changes?

What exactly happened?” Great State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao muttered to himself.

Almost at the same time, the strongest few at the Eighth Tier in this world almost simultaneously sensed something, looking towards the sky.

Whether it’s the Tianyang Star Lord, Cangming Star Lord, or Doom-suppressing Star Lord, all noticed the phenomenon of the stars in the vault of heaven, but found nothing else.

At the same time, the Sumeru Palace Master and Wood Spirit Palace Master, newly integrated into the present world and running to all sides, also sensed something, frowning.

Unlike the present world, the Galaxy Battlefield nearly caused an uproar.

The moment starlight fell, in the Da Chen Battle City, Da Hong Battle City, Dachu Battle City, and the Barbarian Clan Battle City, the four leaders of the eighth tier simultaneously looked up to the sky, and the next moment, all looked towards the Da Chen Battle City’s direction.

”Could a strong alien race have arrived?” Da Hong Battle Zone Commander Xiahou Shen, in doubt, immediately issued an order for the entire Da Hong Battle Zone to raise alert levels.

In another battle city, Da Chen Battle Zone Commander Mao Yue, looking at the sky, vaguely felt the terrifying aura appearing above Da Chen Battle City, immediately issued a command to prepare for battle.

Simultaneously rushing at full speed towards Da Chen Battle City.

But what puzzled him more was that in just two or three breaths, that aura had disappeared.

Gone without a trace.

And inside the entire Da Chen Battle City, scouts were sent out in all directions, with Seventh Tier experts searching the city, but no anomalies were found.

They had to give up.

As for Xu Jin, who started it all, he hadn’t noticed any of this at all, instead directly immersing his mind into the Candou Platform, observing the changes in the newly-upgraded Candou Platform.

Outside the vault of heaven, above the starry sky, where the Emperor Jidao had appeared previously, suddenly a faint phantom emerged, glancing at the direction of the starlight phenomenon just now, murmuring lightly.

”This speed, really quite fast...”

[Fifth Tier Candou Platform]

[Fighting Master: Xu Jin]

[Received Star Favor, daily worship grants five strands of starlight]

[Starlight: 37830 strands]

....

[Evolution: requires consumption of one hundred strands of starlight]

At first glance, it seems there are no significant changes.

The star lamps have turned into five, which should be considered the biggest change, and everything else seems similar to before.

Of course, an additional Star Core can be offered, gaining rewards and protection.

Due to upgrading to Fifth Tier starlight, the starlight has halved.

Originally, it was close to 100,000 strands.

This evolution function can simultaneously use five star lamps for evolution, and the starlight consumption has increased from eighty strands to one hundred strands, not much change.

As Xu Jin expected, each star lamp can now hold up to five pills simultaneously.

One time can nurture twenty-five pills.

As for whether there are any changes to the nurturing function, Xu Jin estimates there’s not much change, it should still be the Third Essence.

After all, the star lamps didn’t change!

Having observed thoroughly, it seems no new features were added.

This made Xu Jin somewhat disappointed.

Having consumed so much valuable resources, and after much effort obtaining the exceedingly precious Red Sparrow Feathers, successfully upgrading.

Just this?

Xu Jin sighed slightly with some helplessness.

If truly no new changes occur, it seems there’s no motivation for upgrading.

While sighing, Xu Jin inadvertently glanced, noticing changes above the Candou Platform.

Above the Candou Platform, four principles previously floating emitted a faint glow, enveloping the Candou Platform, but not specifically directing.

But now, at this instant, the four principles were each projected towards four star lamps, with one remaining empty.

Xu Jin was surprised!

Is the reason here?

One star lamp lacks the principle’s coverage, hence no new changes occur.

A mere gesture, the Jade of the Candou Platform fell into Xu Jin’s hand, his mind immersed, and immediately gained insight.

[After the starlamp aligns with the Heaven and Earth Path, it can condense into the Candou Lamp Domain and reflect in the present world. In the Candou Lamp Domain, cultivating or comprehending holds numerous miraculous influences, the strength of miraculous influences is affected by the strength of the Heaven and Earth Path aligned by the starlamp.]

In an instant, Xu Jin understood.

It’s the lack of a principle force covering the starlamp.

Previously condensed principles include the Fire element, Water element, Wind element, and Earth element.

Now, one is missing!

Where to find it!

The principle path isn’t easily found.

In the current star domain, Xu Jin can only attain Heaven and Earth Star Intent, which falls short of the principle path.

As for the World Origin, that’s even rarer.

Regarding asking Ning Yuchan or Ji Hongli to retrieve those two, Xu Jin wasn’t that tactless.

Men, things once given out cannot be taken back even at the cost of starving.

But this principle path?

The next instant, Xu Jin had an idea.

With a mere thought, he initiated the power of the Candou Platform to extend the Thunder element Heaven and Earth Star Intent from the Central Star Palace.

Trying to previously merge the Thunder element Heaven and Earth Star Intent into the Candou Platform for accomplishment.

But within mere moments, Xu Jin failed.

Xu Jin’s idea was correct, but the Thunder element Heaven and Earth Star Intent wasn’t enough.

Only the Heaven and Earth Star Intent from ten different small worlds can the Candou Platform merge into one Middle World principle force.

Xu Jin’s Thunder element Heaven and Earth Star Intent had only eight, missing two.

The Wind element and Water element were also lacking.

The next instant, Xu Jin decided.

Whether the State Preceptor has a task, and if not, he’d ravage.

Sweep through the Fourth Tier star domains capable of being swept.

Seizing the moment before breakthrough to Fifth Tier, sweep through these Fourth Tier star domains.

Collect the Heaven and Earth Star Intent of these Fourth Tier star domains.

First to expand oneself, second to contribute to the present-day human race!

Against these star domains, as long as the Heaven and Earth Star Intent is gone, even if Special Envoy Ju Zhang dispatches more messengers, it’s futile!

Can’t activate the star domain!

While contemplating, Xu Jin’s Star-picking Order suddenly flashed urgently, the starlight transmission from State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao had arrived.

[Xu Jin, the altar sky road of the Jichuan Star Domain, will connect to the Ancestral Land cave heaven in two to three days at most! If you’re confident in entering within two days, go! If not, don’t!]

[State Preceptor, two days, is enough time! I’ll set off in an hour. Also, please help prepare the known information or temporary star gate of Fourth Tier star domains.] Xu Jin said in the starlight transmission.

[Known ones? What do you plan to do? Specify clearly, so I can cooperate with you.]

[State Preceptor, I wish to sweep through these Fourth Tier star domains before breaking through to Fifth Tier, first to strengthen myself, second to eradicate risks!]

A few breaths later, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao sent the starlight transmission.

[Good, I’ll fully support you on this matter!]
