Chapter 1269: Chapter 508: Three Paths and Familiar Faces (Happy Spring Festival)

Wu Dong had already obtained clearance, and after passing through directly, he entered the Galaxy Battlefield Continent and flew straight to the southernmost Eight Desolate City.

During this time, apart from delivering meals, Wu Dong regularly removed the dead flowers and trees that Xu Jin had cultivated, and did not disturb Xu Jin further.

Three consecutive days passed quickly.

”Mr. Wu, we are still two hours away from reaching Eight Desolate City,” a subordinate reported.

”Hmm.”

Wu Dong glanced at the hall where Xu Jin rested; the lights were still on!

Or perhaps, for the past three and a half days, they hadn’t been extinguished at all.

Respect!

Wu Dong truly felt respect!

Two years ago, when he first met Xu Jin, Xu Jin was merely at the Dining Dawn Realm, while Wu Dong was at Third Tier Refining Star Ninth Layer.

Later, Xu Jin joined the National Taoist Institute. Xu Jin was a True Disciple, whereas Wu Dong was an Inner Court Core Disciple. The treatment was slightly different but not by much.

Yet, two years later, his cultivation level barely reached Fourth Tier Ninth Layer Peak, but Xu Jin, his former junior, had already skyrocketed to Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak!

The bitterness inside him upon meeting Xu Jin was indescribable.

All are human, but how did Xu Jin cultivate!

For him to leap an entire Great Realm in two years is already considered genius.

But Xu Jin, crossed six Great Realms!

Is it fair?

Or is there such a huge difference between True Disciple and Inner Court Core Disciple treatment?

Honestly, it’s hard to remain calm inside!

But after accompanying him for three and a half days, Wu Dong suddenly felt respect!

In three days, Wu Dong spent half of each day cultivating, deducing Star Patterns, and the other half resting with food, drink, and chess, which was already considered diligent!

But Xu Jin, was the kind who cultivated without rest day and night.

Every day, he was still energetic!

Respect!

Wu Dong truly respected him!

With such drive, it’s no wonder Xu Jin’s cultivation level advanced so rapidly!

No more complaints any longer!

”Mr. Xu, we’re two hours away from Eight Desolate City. Do you plan to stay there, or would you like to leave beforehand?” Wu Dong asked quietly outside the hall.

”Call me when there’s one hour left.”

”Understood.”

As Wu Dong retreated, the speed at which he discarded the flowers and trees from the hall grew increasingly faster.

Initially, it was one plant every ten breaths, then it became one plant every few breaths.

All the discarded flowers and trees shared one characteristic; they appeared lifeless.

This puzzled Wu Dong.

But he dared not ask much.

”Gone?”

Inside the hall, while sensing the life rhythm of the plants, Xu Jin suddenly felt an emptiness in his hand. All the thousands of flowers and trees he brought were consumed.

In the Upper Star Palace, a shining sphere exuding an inexplicable awe floated before his Primordial Spirit’s chest.

According to the Seven Kills inheritance, if one can find the life rhythm of any plant within one breath, they have achieved Mid-tier Seven Killing Sword Heart Great Success.

Currently, Xu Jin can locate the life rhythm of two plants within one breath.

Thus, he can move to the next stage.

Condensing the high-tier Seven Killing Sword Heart.

Once the high-tier Seven Killing Sword Heart is condensed successfully, Xu Jin can attempt to cultivate the Star Killing Skill.

Then, if he can further refine the Cloud Tower to perfection, he can attempt to break through to Seventh Tier.

However, according to the lore revealed by the State Preceptor, the Cloud Tower can connect earth and sky.

At around thirty layers, one can sense the sky within.

For Xu Jin’s Cloud Tower, condensing thirty layers is achievable.

If he senses the so-called sky, he must achieve this connection!

According to the State Preceptor, once achieved, the Ninth Layer formed in the Sixth Tier is equivalent to a Ninth Layer National Guardian Tao Artifact.

And it’s of the peak kind.

Ninth Layer National Guardian Tao Artifacts or heritage treasures are exceedingly rare.

If one can create one on their own, they must do so.

Moreover, according to the State Preceptor, historically, after cultivators break through to the Eighth Tier, there are three paths.

One path is regular Eighth Tier, never truly grasping the Ninth Tier.

Another path is for top-tier Eighth Tiers, like National Master Cheng Yuexiao, Tianyang Star Lord, and Cangming Star Lord.

They might have a chance to break through to Ninth Tier, but it requires providence.

The outcome afterward, though, remains uncertain.

The third kind are legendary in this world as Emperor Jidao, also known as Extreme Emperor Star Lord, and Seven Kills True Monarch.

Throughout Kunling Realm’s history, only these two transcended the realm.

This is the third path!

And Xu Jin, undoubtedly, chose this third path!

He desires to transcend this world!

Xu Jin fervently wants to know, if he truly transcends this world and can roam the Star Sea, what his former homeland Blue Star would look like?

Returning is impossible.

But he wants to see!

Because that’s his homeland!

As Mid-tier Seven Killing Sword Heart reaches Great Success, Xu Jin begins to condense the high-tier Seven Killing Sword Heart.

The high-tier Seven Killing Sword Heart requires continuous sensing of the life rhythm of lifeless things like rocks and water clouds, from small to large.

Then, the Star Killing can commence!

This is the final step of cultivating the Star Killing Skill.

But it is also the hardest step!

Because, whether animals or plants, they have life and it’s always apparent.

Rocks, water, clouds can be said to have life.

But where is their life?

It’s difficult!

Even Seven Kills True Monarch took twenty years to achieve!

How long Xu Jin will take, he has no certainty.

However, while Mid-tier Seven Killing Sword Heart achieved Great Success, Xu Jin had already started practicing.

Holding a chicken-egg-sized sharp-edged blue stone brought from Great Chen Wan County in his hand, he began sensing!

Right upon starting, he felt like a tiger trying to devour the sky, yet no point of entry.

How can a dead object have a life rhythm sensed?

Nevertheless, with prior experience, Xu Jin was not impatient.

He kept sensing the chicken-egg-sized blue stone, always in his hand.

”Mr. Xu, there’s one hour left to Eight Desolate City,” Wu Dong’s voice echoed from outside.

”Okay!”

In the next instant, Xu Jin stood up, left the hall, and saw Wu Dong waiting outside the hall door.

”Open the Starlight Shield; I want to leave.”

”Understood.”

Wu Dong accepted the command. In the next instant, fierce winds poured in as the starship began to decelerate.

As Xu Jin prepared to leave, he suddenly sensed Wu Dong’s aura and inquired, ”Senior Brother Wu, how long have you been stuck at Fourth Tier Ninth Layer Peak?”

”Returning to the Academician, three months already!”

”Hmm, take this spiritual medicine when you have a chance, it might help you break through!”

Xu Jin casually offered a nourished Fourth-Order Divine Soul Spiritual Medicine, and in an instant, a blue Wind Wings appeared behind him, turning into starlight, rushing directly out of the starship.

Inside the starship, Wu Dong received the spiritual medicine but didn’t pay it much mind.

He was gifted Fourth-Order Divine Soul Spiritual Medicine by his teacher before.

However, once the Starlight Shield closed, after carefully sensing, his expression changed.

It’s top-notch!

This is a top-tier Fourth-Order Divine Soul Spiritual Medicine, its effects almost close to a Fifth-Order Divine Soul Spiritual Medicine.

Its value...

After leaving the starship, Xu Jin used Hundred Illusion Star Pattern to change his face.

Into a thirty-year-old somewhat weathered middle-aged man with a beard—just a slight modification for easy maintenance.

Still quite handsome but added some steadiness.

One hour later, Xu Jin arrived outside the Eight Desolate City Third Guard City, then promptly used Mandarin Duck Seal to send a message to Dahong Emperor.

But this Guard City is a military fortress with strict prohibitions.

It’s not a place Xu Jin can enter at will.

[What clothes are you wearing? Any distinguishing features?] Dahong Emperor quickly sent a message via Mandarin Duck Seal.

Xu Jin replied and soon received a response.

[Wait for 15 minutes, there will be someone to assist you.]

Xu Jin was a bit surprised.

This Eight Desolate Third Guard City is Dachu’s territory, and yet Dahong Emperor could extend his reach into Dachu’s land?

breaths later, a streak of light suddenly emerged from the city, landing next to Xu Jin, asking, ”Are you Qi Jin?”

Qi Jin was Xu Jin’s alias.

”Yes.”

”Then follow me.”

As Xu Jin turned and followed, he suddenly frowned; the aura from this person seemed familiar as if he had seen them somewhere?

Xu Jin frowned while recalling.
