Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 936: Chapter 375: The Prodigal Father and the Blood God Sect Stronghold

Energetic!

This was Xu Jin’s first impression when he saw Ying Ge from afar!

This made Xu Jin very happy.

It seemed that Ying Ge had completely emerged from the shadow of being crippled with a broken leg and arm, and his ability to participate in the tasks of the National Taoist Institute was a clear proof.

Not only did he emerge from it, but his combat power was also incredible.

Otherwise, such a task wouldn’t have fallen to Ying Ge.

In the Dachen National Daoist School, one of the requirements for disciples to undertake tasks in the Fourth-tier Star Domain is that they must have the combat power to challenge a regular Fifth Tier.

Otherwise, the probability of going to their death would be too high.

From afar, Xu Jin had already sensed Ying Ge’s cultivation level clearly.

Star Power Cultivation was at the Fourth Rank, Fourth Level Late Period, and the Divine Soul Cultivation was at Refining Star, Fifth Layer.

Counting it, since Xu Jin gave Ying Ge a Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pill to help him break through to the Fourth-Order Condensing Star, nearly five months had passed.

Improving by four levels in five months could be considered quite fast.

The Divine Soul Cultivation level had also increased by two levels.

It seemed that Ying Ge was truly diligent in his cultivation.

However, being dispatched to fight in the Fourth-tier Star Domain with a Fourth Rank, Fourth Level Late Period cultivation likely had something to do with the peculiar swordsmanship he had devised on his own.

”Senior Brother Qi, Ying Ge is here to follow orders.”

In the blink of an eye, sword light flew over, and Ying Ge cheerfully stopped in front of Xu Jin, spirit energy transforming into an arm, confidently folding his arms and saluting Xu Jin.

”Not bad, you’re the first to arrive, and your speed is quite fast.”

Xu Jin smiled and began to look Ying Ge up and down.

Ying Ge didn’t mind at first, but when Xu Jin started circling around him, he couldn’t help but feel offended.

He could ignore others’ gazes, but this deliberate inspection made him feel violated.

Swish!

Four flying swords emerged simultaneously, forming a sword flower. Ying Ge’s expression turned cold, ”Senior Brother Qi, if there’s a task, please issue it quickly.”

”Wow, you can control four flying swords now. Five months ago, I remember you could only wield three, and not so deftly.” Xu Jin suddenly said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ying Ge’s expression changed dramatically.

Looking at Xu Jin, who was gazing at him, his face revealed a look of shock and disbelief, ”Senior Brother Qi, I believe this is our first meeting, right?”

”Come on, use your swordsmanship, attack me with all your might! If your sword light can touch me, I’ll give you a surprise today!” Xu Jin suddenly became eager to test him.

Ying Ge frowned, ”Senior Brother Qi, swords and blades are without eyes.”

”What, are you afraid of hurting me? Not to belittle you, but with your current cultivation level, you really can’t hurt me.”

After being coaxed by Xu Jin’s words, Ying Ge, still a young lad, instantly had his temper sparked.

”Don’t blame me if you get hurt, Senior Brother Qi!” In Ying Ge’s view, the Heavenly Saint Qi standing before him was merely at the Fourth-order Ninth Layer Peak.

”Hahaha, bring it on!”

The next moment, four beams of sword light flew towards Xu Jin from all directions.

Xu Jin didn’t counterattack but skillfully dodged using the Willow Catkins movement technique.

It must be said that the Willow Catkins Star Pattern at the Eighth Tier Middle was too strong; after a while, Ying Ge still couldn’t even touch the hem of Xu Jin’s clothes.

However, what pleased Xu Jin was that Ying Ge didn’t become discouraged at all.

After 100 breaths, just when Xu Jin thought Ying Ge had run out of tricks, a fifth sword light unexpectedly appeared, instantly slashing towards Xu Jin’s chest.

This sudden fifth sword caught Xu Jin off guard completely.

The Thunder Wing appeared suddenly, and his body sidestepped in the air.

Yet, even so, the sword still pierced through Xu Jin’s clothing.

Seeing the Thunder Wing appear behind Xu Jin, Ying Ge was a bit surprised.

”The swordsmanship is good, but there’s more cunning than lethality. Against the early stage of the Fifth Tier, it should suffice, but against the Middle to Late Period of the Fifth Tier, it might not kill the enemy.” Xu Jin remarked.

Such fatherly remarks didn’t anger Ying Ge; instead, he curiously asked, ”Senior Brother Qi, who taught you this Thunder Wing?”

”Hehe.”

Xu Jin laughed, ”You still remember Thunder Wing? It seems you haven’t forgotten your senior brother.”

At the mention of those three words, Ying Ge’s expression turned somber, and the five flying swords formed a sword flower, as if paying homage, ”How could I forget? Without Senior Brother, there wouldn’t be the me of today!”

Seeing Ying Ge’s silent demeanor, Xu Jin suddenly didn’t feel like teasing him anymore.

”Do you miss him?”

”Miss him!

He said he wanted to review my swordsmanship, but now...” Suddenly, Ying Ge choked up a bit.

Xu Jin was taken aback.

The next moment, he simply said, ”Well, here I am checking it and even giving feedback!”

Ying Ge didn’t react immediately, staring blankly at Xu Jin, ”Senior Brother Qi, what do you mean?”

”You little rascal!”

Xu Jin laughed, ”It’s me who personally taught you the Controlling Objects Star Pattern and the Warm Dream Star Pattern, remember?”

The next moment, star light flickered on Xu Jin’s face.

Ying Ge was first stunned, then he joyously yelled, ”Senior Brother!”

”You’re alive!”

”Of course!”

”I knew it!”

Ying Ge laughed heartily, tears of joy glistening, ”I knew it, I knew it...”

”Come, let’s go drink!”

”Drink!”

Atop the Earth Dragon Royal City, Xu Jin and Ying Ge sat together, with a jar of Flowing Dawn Drunk and a packet of beef jerky stored in the Sumeru Space serving as snacks with their drink. They chatted about the past, discussed the present, and talked about the future!

”Senior Brother, after you left, my father and I were targeted by the family again for a while, and it wasn’t until Elder Peng came by twice that the issue was resolved!

But I know that relying on external help isn’t a long-term solution.

That’s why I doubled my efforts in cultivation!

The goal is to stand up completely!

I want to break through the Fifth Tier, and I also want to break through the Sixth Tier, and even the Seventh Tier!”

”Then strive hard, and we will definitely break through the Sixth Tier, the Seventh Tier, and even the Eighth Tier!”

”Senior Brother, do you know why I must break through the Seventh Tier?” Ying Ge suddenly asked.

”Why?”

”As long as I break through the Seventh Tier, I can become the Clan Leader of the Ying Family!

By then, I will use the mighty power of the Seventh Tier to let my father lead the Ying Family, to handle whoever he wants, instead of being secretly cursed as a cripple by those bastards!” As he said this, Ying Ge’s expression suddenly became a bit ferocious.

Obviously, the word ”cripple” had deeply hurt Ying Ge!

”Come, drink up!”

Ying Ge raised the bowl while Xu Jin didn’t touch it, instead he looked at Ying Ge and said, ”Finish this bowl, then continue with bitter cultivation! Cultivate a future, and then, you can sit behind and watch as your father becomes an impoverished father!

How about that?”

”An impoverished father?”

Ying Ge chewed over this sentence and suddenly burst into laughter, ”Good, let my father become an impoverished father, let him recompense all the hardships, sufferings, and disdain he endured for me over these years!”

”Exactly.”

Xu Jin smiled, suddenly thinking of his own old man, Xu Dajiang.

This old friend would have been an impoverished father too, if not for Jiang’er being here!

”Come, today, upon the reunion of our brotherhood, let me first give you a meeting gift!”

”A meeting gift?”

”Yes, do you have a Dragon Turtle Tempering Pill?” Xu Jin suddenly asked.

”Yes!”

”Give them all to me.” Xu Jin reached out to Ying Ge.

The next moment, Ying Ge took out an elixir bottle and handed it to Xu Jin, ”Senior Brother, my father spent everything he had in the past few months to buy a bottle and a half for me; I’ve taken what’s left of seven pills, they’re all here.”

Xu Jin smiled as he accepted them, then returned to Ying Ge seven Three Treasures Dragon Turtle Tempering Pills that had been nourished.

”This one’s potency should be a bit better than yours, let’s switch and use a little, remember, only you can take it! Yes, this is the first meeting gift!”

”This is the second meeting gift! You’re familiar with it after eating.” Xu Jin handed over a Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pill.

”Senior Brother, this...”

”I told you to take it, so take it, don’t be so wordy!”

Xu Jin glared, and Ying Ge obediently took it.

”I just mentioned, your swordsmanship, though clever, lacks power! I have a sword technique called Void Breaking that I can teach you! But you must accept my Divine Soul Sealing on you, ensuring you don’t share this sword technique with anyone.

This includes some Star Patterns I will also pass on to you!

These all carry dangers.

If leaked, it could even bring upon mortal danger to you and great trouble to me!

So, I must perform the Divine Soul Sealing on you, are you willing?” Xu Jin asked.

”I’ve come to this, what else am I afraid of!

Senior Brother, Divine Soul Sealing it is, let’s do it.” Ying Ge said directly.

Then, Xu Jin, without hesitation, activated the Star Official Seal to perform the Divine Soul Sealing on Ying Ge.

Then he imparted the Lingji Star Hall’s Sixth-Order Object-Controlling Star Technique to Ying Ge!

This was also Xu Jin finding a successor for Master Uncle Mo Ji!

Although this successor currently had incomplete limbs, he was exceptionally suitable as a cultivator of the Object-Controlling Star Technique.

Since he was considered a successor for Master Uncle Mo Ji, Xu Jin went all out, directly imparting the Sixth-Order Clear Soul Star Pattern and Mingji Star Pattern to Ying Ge as well!

Who knows how Master Uncle Mo Ji and Teacher Qi Shanye are right now!

But no matter what, this successor has been found.

Moreover, Xu Jin had a plan: once his cultivation breaks through to the Fifth Tier, after making preparations, he planned to go to that Sixth-Order Star Domain to see if Master Uncle and Teacher Qi Shanye are still alive.

By then, the living should be seen in person, the deceased in their remains!

The Sixth-Order Meteor and Willow Catkins were also imparted to Ying Ge by Xu Jin!

Imparting so many Star Patterns at once to Ying Ge made it hard for him to learn them all at once.

Also, because of Ying Ge, Xu Jin stayed two more days in the Fourth-Tier Dragon Wood Star Domain.

Originally, he was supposed to leave in more than half a day.

During these two days, Xu Jin continuously kept the Combat Lamp Domain open, allowing Ying Ge to inscribe and understand the Star Patterns almost non-stop, day and night.

Two days later, when Xu Jin left, Ying Ge not only broke through to the Fourth Rank Fifth Level, but also preliminarily completed the inscription of the Sixth-Order Star Technique Void Breaking!

His combat power naturally increased greatly!

Including the use of the Clear Soul Star Pattern, Xu Jin also taught Ying Ge!

Inscribe more, at least four Paths per Star Core.

Don’t be afraid to waste Star Pattern slots.

Without strong Divine Soul Power, many Divine Soul Star Patterns are useless!

After leaving the Fourth-Tier Dragon Wood Star Domain, Xu Jin kept opening temporary star gates, sweeping the Fourth-Tier Star Domain.

The State Preceptor even organized four teams to assist Xu Jin, maximizing the gains from sweeping the Fourth-Tier Star Domain.

Xu Jin even encountered Senior Sister Yang Miaozhen, who had reached the Fourth Rank Ninth Layer Peak, needing just one opportunity to break through.

As for Senior Sister Yang Miaozhen, Xu Jin didn’t recognize her, nor did he reveal his identity or provide much assistance.

The State Preceptor had his arrangements.

The subsequent speed of sweeping the Fourth-Tier Star Domain was astonishingly fast!

Basically, one star domain per day.

Of the nineteen remaining Fourth-Tier Star Domains provided by the State Preceptor, Xu Jin swept through eighteen in just twenty days.

The harvest was abundant.

Altogether, they obtained ninety-eight channels of Heaven and Earth Star Will, though there were over thirty duplicates.

The further it went, the more duplicates there were.

[Fire Series Law: Fifth Tier (47)][Earth Series Law: Sixth Tier (54)]

[Water Series Law: Fifth Tier (44)][Thunder Series Law: Third Tier (26)]

[Wind Series Law: Fifth Tier (42)][Wood Series Law: Third Tier (24)]

[Gold Series Law: Third Tier (21)]

Among the seven Law Stars on the Candou Platform, except for the Thunder Series, each one has made considerable progress.

Xu Jin felt that, under the blessing of these Law Stars, the effect of the Candou Lamp Domain assisting comprehension was getting stronger!

As for the Space Series Heaven and Earth Star Will, there were still no findings!

On March 28, in the Star-Picking Tower Branch of Da Chen Battle City, Xu Jin engaged the last temporary Space Star Gate Array Plate.

Fourth-Order Yunluo Star Domain.

After sweeping this star domain, Xu Jin planned to use the good method he thought of before to break through to the Fifth Tier!

Once he breaks through to the Fifth Tier, with the current expansion of the Law Stars, the world would be different to Xu Jin.

Many things that he previously wanted but didn’t have the power to do could now be put on the agenda!

It only took two hours to step into the Yunluo Star Domain before Xu Jin noticed something strange.

Within this Yunluo Star Domain, the three alien races were unexpectedly engaged in a bloody battle!

The three parties were practically killing each other till rivers of blood flowed and bodies were strewn everywhere!

But the strange thing was, there were corpse collection teams!

Xu Jin quickly discovered the anomaly: Blood God Sect!

The Fourth-Order Yunluo Star Domain found by the State Preceptor turned out to be a stronghold of the Blood God Sect!
