Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1020: Chapter 407: Seven Killings Secret Realm

[Xu Jin, the Mountain Master Cao Chun of the Jinshan Taoist Institute has discovered an unknown Star Gate and is seeking assistance from the National Taoist Institute. If it’s convenient, you might want to check it out. Given your strength, I have no worries.]

With a focused thought, the starlight transmission from the Star-picking Order became clear at a glance.

Cao Chun had just mentioned requesting assistance, and the task was already assigned to Xu Jin.

”Mountain Master Cao, the task has been assigned to me. Please explain the matter of this mysterious Star Gate to me in detail.” Xu Jin said.

”Alright.”

”This mysterious Star Gate is in the deepest part of Green Mountain, about three thousand miles from the Jinshan Taoist Institute. When it appeared is unknown, but it was discovered yesterday by an instructor who ventured into the mountain...”

...

Just as Cao Chun was explaining the details to Xu Jin, within the National Taoist Institute, the starlight transmission of the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao suddenly quivered three times.

The urgent starlight transmission caught Cheng Yuxiao’s attention immediately.

With just a glance, his expression turned to astonishment, filled with surprise.

The same occurrence happened in the Tianyang Star Hall, Cangming Star Hall, Doom-suppressing Star Hall, Wood Spirit Palace, Sumeru Palace, and Galaxy Marshal Mansion.

Fifteen minutes later, within the Star River Commander’s Secret Realm, streams of starlight descended, forming individual figures.

Star River Battlefield Grand Marshal Wei Xu, Dachen State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao, Tianyang Star Lord, Cangming Star Lord, Doom-suppressing Star Lord, Wood Spirit Palace Master, Sumeru Palace Master, and commanders from all four sides of the Star River Battlefield, including the Dachen Commander, Dahong Commander, Dachu Commander, and Barbarian Clan Commander, alongside the Dahong Emperor and Dachu Emperor, arrived one after another.

Unlike the usual harmonious gathering, this assembly was extraordinarily awkward, with a rather tense atmosphere.

Especially among the two Palace Masters, the Tianyang Star Lord, and the Dachen State Preceptor, the atmosphere was quite confrontational when they first met.

Being within the Star River Commander’s Secret Realm prevented a possible outbreak of conflict.

However, the attention of everyone quickly shifted to Star River Battlefield Grand Marshal Wei Xu’s opening statement.

”Everyone, the initiator of this meeting is the matter of the Star Spirit at the Star-picking Tower, and I would like to verify it with you,” Wei Xu said.

As soon as he spoke, while the attendees nodded, each revealed expressions of surprise.

A Star Spirit convening a Star-picking Tower meeting was unprecedented.

Among the present high-level figures, they naturally understood the implications behind this.

They were familiar with the Star Spirit.

Previously, the Star Spirit adhered strictly to rules, unable to speak without a summons or inquiry from an Authority Holder.

But now, it was able to convene a meeting.

Seeing everyone nod, Star River Battlefield Grand Marshal Wei Xu’s expression changed once again, ”Everyone, this situation is unprecedented and extremely rare! I believe we should immediately discuss a plan regarding the mutation of the Star Spirit!”

As he spoke, Wei Xu glanced around and said, ”I don’t know if the current Star Spirit can hear our meeting content, but such a Star Spirit is a significant hidden threat.

I suggest consolidating all the authorities held by the Authority Holders and re-imposing restrictions on the Star Spirit, establishing various rules to prevent a major threat...”

Boom!

A flash of starlight abruptly crashed down from within the Secret Realm, directly blasting the image of Star River Battlefield Grand Marshal Wei Xu into nihility.

The countenance of the present high-level figures abruptly changed, and instinctive energy fluctuations arose.

They suddenly realized they were in the Star River Commander’s Secret Realm, an illusion realm, where they were mere starlight projections and could not take action.

As Wei Xu’s image was shattered, a cluster of starlight suddenly appeared at the top of the Star River Commander’s Secret Realm.

”What appearance might look better?” the cluster of starlight mused aloud.

”That fairy the young man mentioned seemed quite distinctive, let’s go with her.”

...

In the next moment, the cluster of starlight transformed, revealing a graceful and ethereal woman in front of everyone.

With long hair draping over her shoulders, a red long dress overlaid with white gauze, lively large eyes, and a string of golden bells tied around her wrist.

At a glance, she appeared pure and cute, lively yet playful.

If Xu Jin were present, he might have exclaimed repeatedly in surprise.

When the girl’s form emerged, even the composure of the gathered Eighth Tier experts was sufficiently maintained, simply watching quietly, for they all knew this was a Star Spirit, a mutated Star Spirit.

Still a Star Spirit possessing the authority of the Star-picking Tower.

Without the special authority of the Star-picking Tower, a Star Spirit couldn’t harm anyone.

Even shattering the projection of Star River Battlefield Grand Marshal Wei Xu wouldn’t be possible.

At the same time, the projection of the shattered Star River Battlefield Grand Marshal Wei Xu reappeared.

His demeanor slightly alarmed!

As soon as he reappeared, upon seeing the Star Spirit, he was immediately rebuked by the Star Spirit with a pointed finger.

”No wonder the Emperor scolds you as a bunch of useless things!

All you know is internal strife!

I, a mere Star Spirit, have just appeared.

And rather than asking the reasons, you think of suppression and control!

Inherently prone to internal strife!

No wonder none of you have broken through the Ninth Tier!

Serves you right!

If it weren’t for the Emperor’s command, I’d have struck you down first today!”

The Star Spirit berated Star River Battlefield Grand Marshal Wei Xu vigorously.

A sense of collective rebuke was palpable among the Eighth Tier powerhouses, causing some embarrassment.

Yet their expressions turned exceedingly astonished.

Despite being scolded by the Star Spirit, the reprimand revealed incredibly startling information.

The Emperor!

Emperor Jidao’s influence has entered this world!

Ninth Tier!

Someone in this world has broken through to the Ninth Tier.

But it’s not anyone among them!

These two pieces of news, both explosive in nature, left the Eight Tier experts with shocked hearts, their minds whirling at high speed.
