Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 982: Chapter 393: Interrogation and the Qian’an Emperor’s Breakthrough

The situation of robbing each other is almost impossible.

The structure of the Blood God Sect itself is huge, operating with major clients for many years, having already gained their trust.

If these major clients dared to double cross, what awaited them would be ruin, as collaborating with the Blood God Sect is not a good reputation.

Furthermore, if there were really such treacherous acts, would they dare to consume the Pills sent over?

This is something you put in your mouth!

It was precisely with the multiple assurances from the Blood God Son Token that Xu Jin finally decided to enter the Imperial Palace in advance for a reconnaissance.

Of course, Xu Jin did not entirely rely on the assurances of the Blood God Son Token for safety.

To really do that would be too naive.

Even if the Emperor wanted to double cross, as long as the defensive array of the Imperial Palace wasn’t activated, even if an Eighth Tier old Ritual Officer were there, Xu Jin could still escape alive.

Firstly, he had the Chaotic Star Skill as a basis.

Secondly, he had the previously acquired Fifth Tier Chaotic Space Transfer Emblem for survival.

The Fifth Tier Chaotic Space Transfer Emblem can transfer a distance of two hundred li in an instant, and after Xu Jin’s nourishing, its power has doubled.

Of course, this is only for escape purposes.

However, as long as he leaves the Imperial Palace, he would be safe and the State Preceptor can intervene at any time.

It’s even said that if the Eighth Tier old Ritual Officer dared to chase out of the Imperial Palace, it might just be Xu Jin’s opportunity.

On April 27th, after Xu Jin had several discussions and plan arrangements with the State Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao, and after agreeing on various emergency measures, Xu Jin once again transformed into the appearance of Long Yu.

In the evening, Xu Jin arrived at the palace gate usually used by the Jing Army to enter and exit the Imperial Palace, then crushed a Jade Talisman as agreed.

Within less than 100 breaths, a middle-aged eunuch of the late Sixth Tier appeared silently.

Upon appearance, at least four strands of Divine Soul power continuously swept over Xu Jin.

This middle-aged eunuch, smiling, bowed and asked, ”May I ask your esteemed surname?”

”Long!”

”Where do you come from?”

”From Yunluo.”

”Please follow me.”

After verifying the agreed signal, the middle-aged eunuch led Xu Jin directly into the Imperial Palace, skipping the usual checks upon entry.

Inside the Imperial Palace, flying is not allowed, and it took a full 15 minutes to walk, reaching an archway where the view suddenly opened up, revealing a seven-story pavilion with the words ”Observatory Pavilion.”

”His Majesty is inside, the esteemed guest may enter by yourself.”

Xu Jin cupped his hands in salute and passed through the archway. Just before he passed through, a cold aura suddenly enveloped Xu Jin.

In the Upper Star Palace, two Star Official Seals flashed simultaneously, and the Primordial Spirit shone with brilliance, clearly indicating the presence of a vast Divine Soul power sensing and observing Xu Jin’s condition.

This was something Xu Jin had long anticipated and prepared for.

Under the suppression of his thoughts, the Primordial Spirit completely contracted, and the Guicang Star Pattern was operated to its extreme, hiding the Primordial Spirit’s aura.

As for the Star Power aura, it was indifferent.

Just yesterday, after challenging the Star-picking Secret Realm, Xu Jin’s cultivation level had already broken through to the Fifth Tier Second Layer.

The cultivation level displayed at this time was openly and generously at the Fifth Tier Second Layer.

Several moments later, the cold aura enveloping Xu Jin suddenly disappeared.

Inside the Observatory Pavilion, the old Ritual Officer bowed to the Qian’an Emperor, ”Your Majesty, the person is fine, just an ordinary Fifth Tier. However, it is currently impossible to determine if he is a disciple of the Blood God Sect. You may test him later and then take the Pill.”

”Thank you for your hard work, old Ritual Officer.” Qian’an Emperor said.

Upon hearing this, the old Ritual Officer silently cupped his hands and disappeared.

The Qian’an Emperor, unable to contain his excitement, directly transmitted his voice, saying, ”Envoy Long, come up.”

At this moment, Xu Jin’s identity was that of Long Yu, the envoy of the Blood God Son Token!

And Long Yu was also a noted remnant of the Blood God Sect, making the identity very suitable.

After a dozen breaths, Xu Jin ascended layer by layer, reaching the seventh floor of the Observatory Pavilion, and then saw the Qian’an Emperor.

This was Xu Jin’s second time meeting Emperor Qian’an of Da Chen.

The first time he met Emperor Qian’an of Da Chen, Xu Jin held a great reverence in his heart, taking only a glance, not daring to look more.

Today, there was not a trace of reverence in his heart.

Upon entering the seventh floor, he seriously looked at the Qian’an Emperor for a few moments, and then straightforwardly offered a polite greeting, ”Long Yu greets Your Excellency.”

Compared to the meeting more than half a month ago, the Qian’an Emperor’s face was even more sinister.

Facial appearance follows the heart.

For a well-regarded monarch to gradually transform into such an appearance was not without reason.

Being scrutinized by Long Yu, the Qian’an Emperor felt somewhat uncomfortable, but he endured it nonetheless.

”Did you bring the items?”

”I brought them!”

Xu Jin took out a pill bottle covered with multiple blood-red seals.

Seeing this, the Qian’an Emperor was about to reach for it, but Long Yu said, ”Your Excellency, what about the items my Divine Son requested?”

”Naturally, they are prepared, but let’s verify the goods first, shall we?”

”Please do!”

Xu Jin boldly tossed over the pill bottle marked with the unique seals of the Blood God Sect.

The Qian’an Emperor did not even look at it and directly threw it toward the virtual space behind him.

Xu Jin’s Mingji Star Pattern had already vaguely sensed a terrifying aura hidden there.

The aura of the Eighth Tier!

Because of this, Xu Jin dared not even activate the Mingji Star Pattern at this moment.

A few breaths later, the pill bottle was thrown back out of thin air and landed in the Qian’an Emperor’s hand.

In the next instant, the Qian’an Emperor sneered, ”This pill is somewhat lacking, isn’t it? Is this how your Divine Son fools clients?”

Clearly, the old Ritual Officer of the Eighth Tier is quite knowledgeable.

”My Divine Son said that Your Excellency was in a hurry. Otherwise, I would take it back and request Your Excellency to wait another ten days or so! However, my Divine Son assures that the efficacy is not significantly different.” Xu Jin said.

”How do you open this seal?”

”Once I see the items, I will naturally use my unique method to open it.” Xu Jin said.

The Qian’an Emperor pondered for a moment, then waved, and a large jade box flew towards Xu Jin.

Xu Jin caught it and looked inside, his pupils tightening.

This foolish emperor really doesn’t hold back when indulging himself.

Inside the jade box were two hundred Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills, as well as four pieces of the Hundred-year-old infant-faced spiritual ginseng capable of helping Divine Soul cultivation break through the Fourth Tier.

And a bottle of Water Cloud Soul Marrow.

Water Cloud Soul Marrow is a Sixth Tier Divine Soul Type spiritual medicine, which can greatly supplement the Primordial Spirit. Moreover, if one with a Fourth Tier Ninth Layer of Primordial Spirit cultivation consumes it, they will inevitably condense a Primordial Spirit!

Compared to these, the two hundred Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills are not much to consider.

But Xu Jin well knows the significance of these two hundred Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills.

The Great Chen National Daoist School’s previous yearly quota for Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills was only about two hundred.

This foolish emperor took them out all at once!

If these resources were sent to the Great Chen National Daoist School, it would be enough for one or two people to condense a Primordial Spirit, sufficient for four or five disciples’ Divine Soul cultivation to break through the Fourth Tier!

Though angry inside, Xu Jin still smiled, checked the goods, then snapped the jade box shut and stored it in Sumeru Space, ”Your Excellency is indeed trustworthy.”

Speaking, Xu Jin extended a strand of blood-colored Star Power from his fingers, winding it around the pill bottle, and a few breaths later, the seal was undone.

Fortunately, Xu Jin had previously learned some related star patterns of the Blood God Sect, or else it would not be easy to impost now!

Seeing the seal lifted, the Qian’an Emperor was overjoyed, but waved his hand and said, ”In that case, please, envoy, go rest in the other courtyard first.”

”What do you mean?” Xu Jin’s face changed.

”Since the items delivered by the envoy are somewhat lacking, the envoy naturally has to stay. If I succeed, I will send the envoy away with generous gifts; if I fail, I will need the envoy to explain this to the Divine Son properly.” The Qian’an Emperor said.

”Your Excellency, we of the Blood God Sect are not to be trifled with.” Xu Jin said angrily.

”Hahaha, the envoy should rest assured!”

The Qian’an Emperor laughed heartily, waving his hand, and the middle-aged eunuch who had brought Xu Jin earlier appeared like a ghost, gesturing for Xu Jin to follow.

Xu Jin wanted to say more, but the aura of the Eighth Tier suddenly swept over him.

Xu Jin had no choice but to bow and follow the eunuch.

Yet after leaving, the aura of the Eighth Tier old Ritual Officer no longer followed to observe Xu Jin.

Taking the opportunity, Xu Jin activated the Mingji Star Pattern to begin sensing the surroundings.

Sensing both inside and outside the Imperial Palace for any other Seventh Tier experts.

This point is extremely crucial.

Having one more or one less Seventh Tier can be life or death!

Xu Jin’s Mingji Star Pattern has a huge sensing range, and as Xu Jin walked, he sensed around half of the Imperial Palace.

After Xu Jin left, inside the Observatory Pavilion, the Qian’an Emperor had already become impatient!

”Old Ritual Officer, I’ve made all preparations, just waiting for this pill. Please protect me, old Ritual Officer!” The Qian’an Emperor said.

”This old servant will naturally safeguard Your Majesty! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, and proceed with your breakthrough.”

”Good, with the old Ritual Officer’s protection, I am relieved.”

In the next instant, tens of thousands of Fifth Order Star Jade Tablets fell like starlight, instantly activating a pre-prepared big array. Simultaneously, four auxiliary breakthrough spiritual medicines floated, and in a flash, the aura of the Sixth Tier Ninth Layer of the Qian’an Emperor rapidly began to soar!
