Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 983: Chapter 394: Sovereign and Subject

Xu Jin was arranged to stay in a separate courtyard within the Dachen Imperial Palace.

The straight-line distance to the Observatory Pavilion, where the Qian’an Emperor was attempting a breakthrough, is about fifteen hundred meters.

For others, this distance is a chasm.

Because most people’s Divine Soul sensing distance is around a hundred meters. Even if one has condensed a Primordial Spirit, it’s just two to three hundred meters at most.

But with thirty-six Mingji Star Patterns empowering Xu Jin, along with his increasingly robust Primordial Spirit, Xu Jin’s Divine Soul sensing range has already exceeded two thousand meters.

Even from such a distance, Xu Jin can still clearly sense the state of the Qian’an Emperor’s breakthrough.

He can even sense the presence of that Eighth Tier old Ritual Officer, who is nearby, protecting the Qian’an Emperor.

Currently, there seems to be no opportunity whatsoever.

As for whether the Qian’an Emperor can successfully break through, Xu Jin had discussed it with the State Preceptor before coming.

The Qian’an Emperor had previously attempted to break through to the Seventh Tier twice, but both times ended in failure.

The first time was ten years ago, when Cheng Yuxiao successfully broke through to the Eighth Tier. The Qian’an Emperor, in haste and unprepared, failed in his breakthrough.

The second time was six years ago, and again he failed.

This time, the Qian’an Emperor appears to be the most prepared he has ever been for a breakthrough.

In fact, the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pill is not essential for the Qian’an Emperor’s breakthrough; it’s just an additional guarantee, adding an extra ten percent or so chance.

If the Qian’an Emperor fails his breakthrough, Xu Jin’s task will become much easier.

If the Qian’an Emperor successfully breaks through, Xu Jin’s task won’t become significantly harder.

After all, it’s still just a fresh breakthrough.

The main thing is when the Qian’an Emperor will give them an opportunity.

If the Eighth Tier old Ritual Officer doesn’t leave the palace, Xu Jin definitely won’t have any chance.

So, before coming here, Xu Jin had already discussed with the State Preceptor to quietly observe the changes during the Qian’an Emperor’s breakthrough.

They are waiting for just one signal: the Eighth Tier old Ritual Officer leaving the palace.

It has to be a situation where he won’t definitely return in a short time.

Otherwise, if this old Ritual Officer is anywhere in Wanyi, he can return to the palace in two breaths if something goes wrong.

Xu Jin’s own safety is the priority.

If anything is amiss, Xu Jin must leave the palace immediately, and he will be ready to respond at any time.

In the courtyard, Xu Jin remotely senses the Qian’an Emperor’s continuously rising aura. In the sky, a star faintly pulsates, emitting a grand aura, with its brightness gradually increasing.

Actually, whether the Qian’an Emperor succeeds or not, Xu Jin, who is already thoroughly prepared, does not care.

What Xu Jin cares about is whether the chance to make a move will arise!

After learning that this foolish emperor sent people to massacre over a thousand of the elderly, young, and able-bodied from Xu’s Manor, Xu Jin has been harboring a smoldering fire within.

If he doesn’t get rid of this foolish emperor, his mind will not be at peace.

Outside the courtyard, a Late Period Sixth Tier eunuch with four Fifth Tier attendants has been guarding all along.

Roughly because the Qian’an Emperor believes Xu Jin, a messenger of the Blood God Son, is only a Fifth Tier Second Layer, having a Sixth Tier watching over is foolproof.

In the Observatory Pavilion, the Qian’an Emperor’s aura rose to its peak, and suddenly he sensed a faint star aura.

Already having attempted to break through twice before, the Qian’an Emperor knew exactly what this was. In an instant, a small Primordial Spirit Embryo Light over two meters in size abruptly appeared.

This is another great aid to the Qian’an Emperor’s breakthrough.

If he condenses the Primordial Spirit, it will greatly help his breakthrough to the Seventh Tier.

Being an emperor with riches from all over, with countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, condensing a Primordial Spirit isn’t too difficult.

In the moment of fully activating the Primordial Spirit, the faint star aura became much clearer in an instant.

The Qian’an Emperor fully activated the fusion of his Earth Origin Star Pattern and Primordial Spirit power, continuously drawing that star aura.

At the same time, one Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure after another, capable of assisting a breakthrough, were thrown into the breakthrough array, increasing the breakthrough chances.

In the Star Dome, the Qian’an Emperor sensed that the star was continuously getting brighter, its fluctuations ever increasing, but its original star aura was not being drawn down.

As time slowly passed, the star aura in the sky reached its peak.

Having experienced breaking through twice, the Qian’an Emperor was suddenly horrified in his heart.

Past the peak is decline.

He knows well that if he cannot lead down the original star aura to the Star Tower or continue to strengthen the original star aura, this breakthrough would fail!

In the next moment, the Qian’an Emperor without hesitation swallowed the half Fifth Tier Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pill.

In an instant, the immense Star Power contained within the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pill, along with a trace of True Spirit extracted from the blood of countless freshly dead beings, flowed into the Qian’an Emperor’s Central Star Palace like a mighty river, immediately absorbed by his Earth Origin Star Pattern.

With this external force’s stimulation, the Qian’an Emperor’s Star Power fluctuations surprisingly breached the Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak’s barriers briefly.

At the same time, the fluctuations of the Earth Origin Star Pattern were enhanced to an unprecedented height in an instant.

And the Qian’an Emperor’s sensing of the star in the sky was also reinforced to the limit.

It was like the crucial moment before success.

In an instant, the star in the sky reached its brightest, and a point of Starlight descended directly over Dachen Imperial Palace from the sky.

Simultaneously, the various negative auras additionally infused into the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pill by the Blood God Son Talisman rushed straight toward the Qian’an Emperor’s Upper Star Palace.

The bloody aura and black aura, like pollution, instantly spread toward the Qian’an Emperor’s Upper Star Palace Primordial Spirit.

But just as it was about to fully stain the Primordial Spirit, the National Treasure Seal above the Qian’an Emperor’s head suddenly emitted a shimmer of Starlight.
