Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1264: Chapter 507: The Secret of Connecting Earth and Sky (Part 2)

”It won’t leave such a big loophole for you,”

This was the analysis provided by National Master Cheng Yuxiao after Xu Jin relayed the message from Emperor Dahong.

”Moreover, the involvement of Guard City No. 3 with Dachu complicates matters. Dachu and Cangming Star Hall could possibly be entangled with the Blood God Sect, or this arrangement could merely be a diversion tactic by Emperor Dahong.

Therefore, the most crucial aspect of this matter is to rescue people promptly after you arrive at Blood Moon City, and then return safely.

When the time comes, no matter what calculations Emperor Dahong makes, they will be of no use.

But before that, it’s better for you to keep a low profile,” National Master Cheng Yuxiao advised.

”Rest assured, National Master.”

What Cheng Yuxiao said was actually exactly what Xu Jin had in mind.

Before finding the whereabouts of his teacher Qi Shanye and his uncle Mo Ji, Xu Jin would keep a low profile to prevent Emperor Dahong from being too alert.

Just like during the prior interaction with Dahong, Xu Jin hadn’t employed Thunder Series Star Skill for this very reason.

Xu Jin sought out the National Master not merely to discuss this matter, but primarily to seek guidance on cultivation.

”When a cultivator reaches the Ninth Layer Peak of the Sixth Tier, generally there are two paths: one is to start gaining enlightenment on obtaining Seventh Tier or even Eighth Tier Star Patterns and then sensing the Tianyang stars to find one’s natal star and refine the reflection of the Star Tower.

This is also known as the Seventh Tier Mirror Tower Realm.

The difficulty in breaking through to the Seventh Tier is immense. Many cultivators take decades without finding a way, yet they persist in seeking enlightenment, hoping for a breakthrough to the Seventh Tier.

However, some cultivators, aware of the hopelessness of breakthrough, begin to constantly elevate their limits.

Gradually, they explore another path.

One star, one layer of the tower.

At the Fourth Tier during Star Condensation, the condensed star is the foundation for a lifetime.

At the Sixth Tier, this becomes apparent.

A Single Star Palace would allow the condensation of ten stars, thus creating up to ten layers of Cloud Tower.

If the Central and Lower Dual Star Palaces each condense ten stars, they can create up to twenty layers of Cloud Tower.

Many begin to follow this extreme path, constantly enhancing their combat power.

After condensing twenty layers of Cloud Tower, many have combat power that is twice or even three times that of ordinary Ninth Layer Peak of the Sixth Tier.

Yet, it doesn’t aid breakthroughs to the Seventh Tier.

Once ordinary cultivators break through to the Seventh Tier, the difference in power can be caught up within four to five minor realms.

However, once these extreme cultivators break through the Seventh Tier, their combat power becomes extraordinarily astonishing.

They will possess Seventh-Tier Peak combat power at the Early Period of the Seventh Tier and Eighth Tier Early Period combat power at the Middle Period of the Seventh Tier.

This is merely based on the distinction at the Sixth Tier, without considering other aspects.

Thus, the top talents of each major power undertake extreme cultivation methods.

Like the Sun Fuga you met earlier, with twenty-two layers of Cloud Tower, that’s the case.

Once he breaks through to the Seventh Tier, he will immediately possess the combat power of the Eighth Tier Early Period.

As for you, I personally think you will have no issue breaking through to the Seventh Tier.

Therefore, you also need to undertake extreme cultivation methods.

Build your Cloud Tower to the limit.”

At this point, National Master Cheng Yuxiao suddenly asked, ”I remember you mentioned that during your Fourth Tier Star Condensation, you condensed several extra Star Cores. How many Star Cores have you gathered in your Star Palaces?”

”Seventy-two,” Xu Jin replied.

”What?”

National Master Cheng Yuxiao was momentarily stunned, ”Seventy-two, did I hear correctly?”

”National Master, I have thirty-six Star Cores in the Central Star Palace and thirty-six Star Cores in the Lower Star Palace!” Xu Jin spoke while summoning the Cloud Tower, where seventy-two Star Cores appeared at the very bottom.

Had this been in the past, Xu Jin would surely have concealed it, not sharing much even with the National Master.

But now, there’s no need to hide from the National Master.

National Master Cheng Yuxiao gazed at the seventy-two rotating Star Cores at the bottom of Xu Jin’s Cloud Tower, showing a look of astonishment, unable to move his gaze for a long time.

After a while, he said, ”My teacher once said, years ago, Emperor Jidao possibly connected earth to heaven and then used his own Cloud Tower as a foundation to refine the entire Star Tower, suppressing the heavens and earth here.

However, that was merely a hypothesis.

Because the theoretical data was unbelievably impossible!

My teacher mentioned that the Cloud Tower needs at least thirty-six layers to connect earth to heaven.

But he reached above thirty layers in his Cloud Tower back then, which was his limit, unable to remedy it.

Thus, he couldn’t reach any higher limit.

He speculated three thousand years ago, Emperor Jidao had more than thirty-six layers in his Cloud Tower.

I initially did not believe it, but after seeing your foundational cultivation today, I believe it.”

While speaking, National Master Cheng Yuxiao also revealed his Star Tower behind him, towering at a hundred and nine layers.

But at the very bottom of his Star Tower, only twenty-five stars shone.

”National Master, why is your Star Tower so tall?”

”The Star Tower and Cloud Tower do differ, which you will naturally understand once your cultivation reaches the Eighth Tier.

However, the Cloud Tower is far more crucial than the Star Tower.

It can even be said that the Cloud Tower is the foundation of the Star Tower.

The higher the layers of the Cloud Tower, the greater the future potential.

This is actually why I, Tianyang Star Lord, Cangming Star Lord, and Doom-suppressing Star Lord can stand at the apex of the current world at the eighth layer.

Even when my cultivation previously hadn’t reached the Eighth-Tier Peak, I could stand proudly at the pinnacle of the Eighth Tier with Late Period Eighth Tier cultivation,” said National Master Cheng Yuxiao.

”National Master, I understand, you want me to build the Cloud Tower to the limit, right?

Then build seventy-two layers of Cloud Tower,” Xu Jin chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuxiao spun around in excitement, saying, ”No!

For you, seventy-two layers of Cloud Tower might really just be the foundation.
