Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 900: Chapter 361: Charging Straight Into the Formation

The Jichuan Star Domain is one of the four fifth-tier star domains governed by the domain master from Dachen.

In terms of mastery time, it predates the fifth-tier Huashi Star Domain by more than a decade.

Therefore, its control level is slightly higher than that of the Huashi Star Domain.

According to the intelligence provided by the State Preceptor, the process of stopping the Link Celestial Cave in the Jichuan Star Domain initially went quite smoothly.

Especially after reinforcements arrived and combined forces with those controlled by Domain Lord Meng Yanwei, the alien army organized by the messenger was pushed back step by step.

But at a critical moment, the messenger used a seventh-order Star Core to successively slaughter two sixth-tier powerhouses, severely injuring the domain lord, repelling the army’s offensive, and after gaining some breathing room, directly activated the Star Pivot Array in Qingyi King City, raising the Altar Celestial Path.

Then, the trouble began.

It couldn’t be breached!

The Altar Celestial Path was like a natural, impregnable fortress, stopping all sixth-tier experts.

Attacking it was like opposing the origin of the entire star domain; without overwhelming power, it couldn’t be shattered.

The elite fifth-tier also tried to assault twice, but suffered heavy casualties.

They could only watch helplessly as the Altar Celestial Path continued to approach the Ancestral Land Cave Heaven.

In the end, they could only ask for aid from the State Preceptor.

The State Preceptor didn’t have any good solutions either; there were very few fifth-tier geniuses capable of challenging the late sixth-tier.

Let alone fighting many at once.

Fortunately, Xu Jin’s matters in the Huashi Star Domain had concluded.

Therefore, Xu Jin’s journey to support the Jichuan Star Domain went very smoothly.

With the Space Jade prepared by people sent by the State Preceptor, Xu Jin, Ning Yuchan, Ji Hongli, and Hou Yunzhang entered the Jichuan Star Domain, and before long, they quickly contacted the experts dispatched by Domain Lord Meng Yanwei to receive them.

They directly boarded the starship sent by the domain lord, and within less than two hours, they arrived at Qingyi King City, where the Altar Celestial Path was located.

Due to the joint attack of the domain lord and the Great Chen elite, and because the alien race’s top sixth-tier powerhouses had retreated to defend the Altar Celestial Path, Qingyi King City had long been breached.

But they were besieged in front of the Altar Celestial Path, helpless.

Inside the Altar Celestial Path, the aliens, seeing the humans surrounding them, especially after the Altar Celestial Path had been elevated and they saw their kind being slaughtered by humans, were gnashing their teeth in hatred.

They were just waiting for the Altar Celestial Path to link up with the Ancestral Land Cave Heaven, so their cultivation levels could break through to the seventh tier one by one, and then they would counterattack the humans.

The arriving Xu Jin and the other three were directly taken to the royal palace of Qingyi King City to meet Domain Lord Meng Yanwei.

The royal palace of Qingyi King City had already been turned into a temporary military camp by Domain Lord Meng Yanwei.

A group of human experts from the Jichuan Star Domain, along with elites sent by the National Taoist Institute to support this area, were eagerly anticipating the reinforcements sent by the State Preceptor.

Upon hearing the arrival of the State Preceptor’s reinforcements, they almost gave a hero’s welcome, ushering the four into the command tent.

But along the way to the command tent, many began to murmur.

Ning Yuchan was acceptable, being at the Peak of Fifth Rank Fourth Layer, at least a fifth-tier; Hou Yunzhang was also decent, at the Peak of Fifth Rank Ninth Layer, these two were useful.

But Xu Jin and Ji Hongli, one was at the Fourth Order Eighth Stage, the other at the Fourth Rank Sixth Layer.

Was this a joke?

Sending two fourth tiers, how much did they look down on the sixth-tier experts inside the Altar Celestial Path?

It was somewhat embarrassing.

Especially for those fifth-tier late-stage to even Peak of Fifth Rank Ninth Layer elites.

During the short walk into the command tent, some already started to mutter.

But surprisingly, upon hearing about the arrival of the support team, Domain Lord Meng Yanwei quickly exited the tent to personally welcome them.

What surprised others even more was that Domain Lord Meng Yanwei warmly welcomed the Fourth Order Eighth Layer Heavenly Saint Qi, and not the Fifth Rank Ninth Layer Hou Yunzhang.

This left a group of fifth-tier elites somewhat displeased, especially those from the Da Chen National Taoist Institute.

”Senior Brother Cui, I thought the one at the Peak of Fifth Rank Ninth Layer was the leader, who would have thought the one at Fourth Order Eighth Layer is the captain! Senior Brother Cui, could it be that the State Preceptor dispatched the wrong people?” He Fei directly said to Cui Jing and several surrounding senior brothers.

Previously, the Great Chen Commander Mao Yue had specially drawn elite fifth-tiers from the army to support the Jichuan Star Domain.

Those who could be drawn were naturally geniuses; among geniuses, ninety-nine out of a hundred were from the Da Chen National Taoist Institute.

Cui Jing was once the top genius who dominated the National Taoist Institute for ten years and was the leader of the True Inheritor ten years ago at the Da Chen National Taoist Institute.

Currently, his cultivation level was Fifth Rank Sixth Layer.

However, the genius figure who dominated the National Taoist Institute for ten days had exceptional combat power.

In previous battles, he had once killed a Sixth Rank Sixth Layer alien and repelled a Sixth Rank Ninth Layer alien.

But even so, the previous two assaults on the Altar Celestial Path left him with his head covered in dust, ultimately having to retreat helplessly, even losing two junior brothers.

As for He Fei, who spoke, he was the True Inheritor Second, alongside Cui Jing ten years ago.

For years, he had been competing with Cui Jing, but was always suppressed by Cui Jing in combat power, only leading by one layer in cultivation level, at Fifth Rank Seventh Layer.

”Don’t speak recklessly; the State Preceptor naturally has a reason for sending this one for support!” Cui Jing frowned.

Although Cui Jing couldn’t understand the intent of sending a Fourth Order Eighth Layer by the State Preceptor, the State Preceptor held a high position in his heart, and he chose to believe in the State Preceptor.

”Senior Brother He, don’t worry! The reinforcements sent by the State Preceptor must be right! Maybe they brought a sixth-tier Star Artifact or even Sixth-Order Emblems?” Another top genius from the National Taoist Institute, Lin Bicheng, said.

Lin Bicheng was the First True Inheritor of the autumn exam seven years ago, but compared to Cui Jing, his accomplishments were much inferior.

In terms of both combat power and cultivation level, he was substantially behind, at Fifth Rank Fifth Layer.
