Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1231: Chapter 492: Patriarch’s Edict and the Envoy Mission (Part 2)

But Xu Jin’s cultivation level made a breakthrough to the Sixth Tier, Fifth Layer.

Afterward, Xu Jin re-entered the Star-picking Secret Realm to challenge star-picking.

The Gold Star level gatekeeper and heart demon that appeared were all at the Seventh Tier, Fifth Layer, but for Xu Jin, they posed no challenge.

In order to refine his Star Skill, Xu Jin deliberately did not use the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

Because using it would mean instant kill.

He challenged three times consecutively, obtaining two Gold Stars and one Bright Star.

This time, upon leaving, Xu Jin took out the only Seven-star Gathering Spirit Ginseng that was already nourished, and after consuming a section, the abundant drug efficacy started impacting Xu Jin’s Cloud Tower.

Just one bite caused Xu Jin’s fifth-layer Cloud Tower to condense a corner.

At that moment, Xu Jin continuously absorbed and refined the drug efficacy of the Seven-star Gathering Spirit Ginseng, quickly increasing his cultivation level.

Xu Jin prioritized being receptive to advice.

Since the State Preceptor advised raising the cultivation level further, it must be done.

Better safe than sorry.

Xu Jin is aware of the dangers of this journey.

It’s manageable in Dahong.

Once he truly gains the status to go to the Alien Race’s Eight Desolate Continent, he’d indeed be deep behind enemy lines alone. In case of danger, even if the State Preceptor has exceptional abilities, he wouldn’t be able to save him.

Therefore, preparation must be thorough.

Increasing the cultivation level is just one step.

After a day, Xu Jin consumed the sole Seven-star Gathering Spirit Ginseng and finished the Six-star Gathering Spirit Ginseng thoroughly, not only breaking through to Sixth Tier, Sixth Layer, but also advancing to Sixth Tier, Sixth Layer Middle Period.

This advancement was exceptionally fast.

A few more days of hard work, and Xu Jin’s cultivation level could step into the Late Period of the Sixth Tier.

Compared to when he just entered the Sixth Tier, his Star Power has grown immensely, over ten times more.

The increase in power also brings confidence.

Now, when Xu Jin encounters ordinary Eighth Tier opponents, he can preserve his life even without using special powers.

However, after several real encounters, Xu Jin discovered Space Star Technique to be excellent for survival.

After completing the challenge of the Gold Stars at Sixth Tier, Sixth Layer, Xu Jin’s accumulation reached eleven Gold Stars and nine Bright Stars.

This quantity is not small.

But in the future, Xu Jin can, at most, obtain six more Gold Stars and three Bright Stars, not allowing Xu Jin to waste any.

However, the Space Star Technique used for survival must be deduced.

The first thing to deduce must be the Space Origin Star Pattern.

With a powerful Space Origin Star Pattern, the consumption for space movement will decrease, the movement distance will increase, and the space barrier used for defense will become very strong.

The Space Origin Star Pattern learned by Xu Jin is at the Sixth Tier Upper; comparatively, the deducing difficulty of Space Star Pattern is much greater than its source type star pattern, close to that of the Elephant Star Pattern, slightly less than the deducing difficulty of the Divine Soul Star Pattern.

Hence, Xu Jin used three Gold Stars, one Bright Star, and directly deduced the Space Origin Star Pattern to the Eighth Tier Upper.

Not sure if the Sumeru Palace Master would be furious upon hearing this news.

The Space Origin Star Pattern the Sumeru Palace prides itself on was now easily deduced by Xu Jin to the Eighth Tier Upper, reaching the same level as him.

Comparing Xu Jin and the Sumeru Palace Master now, in terms of Space Star Technique, the only difference is the Space Image Star Pattern.

Upon deducing the Space Origin Star Pattern to Eighth Tier Upper, Xu Jin gained three powerful special star skills.

The first is Space Folding.

Another defensive Star Skill, used well, has infinite uses.

The second, named Space Cage, uses space star power to cut and create an intangible space cage, essential in critical moments.

The Eighth Tier Upper Space Origin Star Pattern contributed to Xu Jin a very powerful attack Star Skill: Space Distortion.

It roughly means inducing spatial dislocation.

Even with Xu Jin practicing it casually, its power is immensely potent.

Following that, Xu Jin used two Gold Stars to deduce Space Movement to Eighth Tier Lower.

This Star Skill must be deduced.

It’s pivotal for preservation.

It must be enhanced.

The Space Movement Star Pattern at the Eighth Tier Lower brought Xu Jin a huge surprise.

Special Star Skill: Space Oriented Movement!

Once understood, Xu Jin was ecstatic.

Originally, the Space Oriented Movement Star Skill Qiao Zhen mentioned came about this way.

It’s no wonder he never mastered it before.

The original Space Movement Star Skill, regardless of your cultivation level, whether you could move two hundred miles or five hundred miles at once, the movement direction was a random point within two hundred miles surrounding you.

It’s uncertain where you’d land.

When used for escape, you might flee far or might fallout back into the enemy’s base camp.

But Space Oriented Movement is different.

It allows for direction locking.

Although it heavily consumes divine soul power, it’s a powerful escape technique nonetheless.

With Space Folding, initially Xu Jin didn’t intend to deduce Space Barrier.

Yet after trying the Space Folding Star Skill many times, the differences became evident.

Space Folding has a very limited range and immense consumption.

Even with Xu Jin’s current Primordial Spirit cultivation level, Space Folding can only be cast within a ten-meter radius around him.

But Space Barrier allows Xu Jin to deploy it within any location within a hundred-meter radius.

Used defensively, it’s unpredictable and ghostly.

In critical moments, it can not only protect oneself but also others.

However, Xu Jin only invested ten Silver Stars, one Gold Star, to deduce it to the Seventh Tier Upper and called it a day.

Thus, Xu Jin’s remaining Gold Stars are now five, and Bright Stars are eight.
