Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1265: Chapter 507: The Secret of Bridging Earth and Heaven (Part 3)

You must not only build seventy layers of the Cloud Tower.

At the very least, all should be Octagonal Cloud Towers.

Also, before breaking through the Seventh Tier, you need to comprehend at least one Ninth-Order Star Pattern.

Only then can you build several more layers of the Nine-cornered Cloud Tower.”

”Alright, I’ll strive towards it!” Xu Jin said with a smile.

”It’s not about striving; it’s a must!” Cheng Yuxiao said solemnly.

This left Xu Jin somewhat confused.

Seeing this, National Master Cheng Yuxiao casually conjured a veil of starlight, isolating them from the outside. ”Xu Jin, my master once told me certain things, but only verbally. At the time, I was young and thought it impossible given my condition.

But now, seeing your condition, I’m reminded of those secret cultivation techniques my master passed on, which now seem possible.

It’s a pity that my teacher died in battle years ago.

If he were alive and could see you now, he would be overjoyed.”

”These secret cultivation techniques?”

”Yes!

Years ago, my teacher Mao Yan and Lingji Star Hall’s Hall Master Sima Qu were close friends. They regularly exchanged cultivation insights. Lingji Star Hall’s Hall Master Sima Qu took out the cultivation manuals of previous hall masters of Lingji Star Hall for research.

For several generations, hall masters have been researching one thing: to connect Earth and Heaven!” Cheng Yuxiao said.

”Connect Earth and Heaven? What does that mean?” Xu Jin was confused.

”Heaven refers to the Upper Star Palace, Earth refers to the Central and Lower Star Palace.”

After Cheng Yuxiao’s explanation, Xu Jin immediately understood.

”They have been trying continuously, including the Lingji Star Hall’s hall master, but have yet to succeed and continue their efforts!

They believe that if they can successfully connect Earth and Heaven, at the very least, they can replicate the path of Emperor Jidao from the past.

But whether Emperor Jidao connected Earth and Heaven, they do not know.

However, historical records say that Emperor Jidao once erected thirty-six layers of Cloud Towers,” Cheng Yuxiao said.

”National Master, what use does connecting Earth and Heaven serve?” Xu Jin asked.

”Unclear.”

National Master Cheng Yuxiao shook his head. ”Because no one has achieved it, it remains unclear!

But my teacher and Lingji Star Hall’s Master Sima speculate that, if successful, one’s body must naturally form a world within.

In the known world, only the Nine-Star Supreme Treasures inherently form a world within, endlessly self-sustaining.

The Nine-Star Supreme Treasure, in a sense, represents the Ninth Order.

It likely has various marvelous uses.

But exactly how, is like viewing the summit’s scenery: only those who reach the peak can truly see it.

Others, like those looking up from halfway up the mountain, can only guess,”

Such words, Xu Jin had never heard before.

On hearing this, a new world opened up to Xu Jin.

”Rest assured, National Master, I will do my best,” Xu Jin said.

”Don’t be in a hurry. Your current strength is quite good, and building more layers of the Cloud Tower will further enhance your combat power.

So, this Sixth Tier journey, strive to reach the extreme.

See if you can touch the Heaven and Earth Bridge!” National Master Cheng Yuxiao said.

”What’s the Heaven and Earth Bridge?” Xu Jin asked.

...

In the Pill Dawn Palace, Xu Jin communicated with National Master Cheng Yuxiao for more than a two-hour period before leaving.

The Heaven and Earth Bridge is also one of the keys to connecting Earth and Heaven, naturally sensed when the Cloud Tower is built to the extreme.

According to National Master Cheng Yuxiao, both his teacher Mao Yan and Lingji Star Hall’s Hall Master Sima Qu sensed the presence of the Heaven and Earth Bridge when their Cloud Towers were at their peak.

But they only sensed it.

They never truly touched it.

It felt like just one more step would have allowed them to touch it.

However, with the foundation of the Fourth Tier Star Condensation, they couldn’t advance further.

They had no choice but to give up!

Now, Xu Jin has great hope!

In truth, without National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s instruction, Xu Jin would have surely taken the path of extreme Cloud Tower construction.

Sun Fuga built twenty-two layers of Cloud Towers, Xu Jin would naturally build more.

Moreover, Xu Jin’s Cloud Tower construction speed is not slow.

Especially as Xu Jin’s Primordial Spirit cultivation level continues to grow, his cultivation speed is constantly increasing.

Currently, the direct radiation distance of Xu Jin’s Primordial Spirit Embryo Light has reached forty-seven meters.

Two meters beyond the forty-five-meter secular limit of the Primordial Spirit peak.

The next step cultivation technique for the Primordial Spirit Realm is said to only exist at Lingji Star Hall.

However, Xu Jin isn’t in a hurry.

According to National Master Cheng Yuxiao, Tianyang Star Lord’s cultivation level is still at the Fifth Tier Primordial Spirit.

However, Tianyang Star Lord’s Primordial Spirit Embryo Light has a direct radiation distance as high as one hundred meters.

This is the fundamental reason why Cheng Yuxiao never dared to engage Tianyang Star Lord in direct battle.

The years have brought Tianyang Star Lord deep accumulation.

Cheng Yuxiao judged, only his Nine Bright Chime, a Tao Artifact of the Great Chen National Guardian, internally self-contained with powerful Divine Soul Defense capabilities could withstand Tianyang Star Lord’s Divine Soul attacks.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lasted until now.

The time entered the Dou Calendar year 1764, January.

On January 1, just as the Enlightenment period of the Star Dome Secret Realm at the Star-picking Tower refreshed, Xu Jin appeared within the Star Dome Secret Realm of the main Star-picking Tower of the Great Chen.

The moment he entered, he activated the Candou Lamp Domain, while also starting the Enlightenment period in the Star Dome Secret Realm, beginning to deduce the Star Patterns.

He was about to set off for Blood Moon City.

Before setting off, Xu Jin had to elevate his strength as much as possible.

This was a necessity.

With strength, he has the confidence to save people.

The first deductions were the Wood Source and Water Source Star Patterns.

Xu Jin’s currently most powerful Star Skill is the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

Besides the Thunder Origin Star Pattern, the Five Elements Divine Thunder also requires support from the Five Elements Source Type Star Patterns of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Origin.

The power is calculated based on the lowest tier of the Five Elements Source Type Star Patterns.
