Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1428: Chapter 573: Congratulations to the State Preceptor

Eight Desolations Royal Court.

The King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, reluctantly activated the Sensing Secret Technique once more, the distant and ethereal location leaving his eyes full of frustration.

He’s gone.

The Seven Kill inheritor has completely left the Eight Desolate Continent.

Extremely depressed.

In fact, seven days ago, after resonating the Seven Kill inheritor’s life aura with his father, Golden Shuo True Monarch, Ju Zhang discovered with great frustration that, as he anticipated, the situation he least wanted to happen had occurred.

The Seven Kill inheritor had actually returned to the Galaxy Battlefield.

The sensed location is not only extremely distant but also very elusive.

If the Seven Kill inheritor was still within the Eight Desolate Continent, no matter how far, he would clearly sense the specific position and quickly track it down.

This left Ju Zhang very depressed.

Contacts with the other two Ninth Tier elites were already made, and three Ninth Tier masters awaited the Seven Kill inheritor’s preparations, yet the person was gone.

Equivalent to having one’s pants undone, yet no one to be found!

Not to mention, on the Seven Kill inheritor, there’s still the Law Power of the Limit Breaking Secret Realm that Ju Zhang urgently needs to recover, along with over one-tenth of the Heaven and Earth Authority missing from the Eight Desolate Continent.

Plus, the massive wealth looted from Silver Horn City.

Ju Zhang truly felt like vomiting blood.

Still, he had to hold back and couldn’t show it in front of his subordinates.

Therefore, Ju Zhang remained unwilling to give up.

Seven days later, on March 4th, after being reprimanded by his father, Golden Shuo True Monarch, he still pleaded with him to resonate the Seven Kill inheritor’s life aura.

What if this Seven Kill inheritor only returned to the Galaxy Battlefield temporarily and came back?

This was Ju Zhang’s hope at heart, a sliver of luck, and also his unwillingness!

But the sensing result this time poured a bucket of cold water over Ju Zhang directly.

The aura was extremely elusive and distant.

Not on the Eight Desolate Continent.

Absent twice consecutively, it seems the Seven Kill inheritor will not return to the Eight Desolate Continent anytime soon.

Thinking of the heavy losses from the previous three sieges, the impending wastage of the Limit Breaking Secret Realm, the dozen or so Eighth Tier elites dead in pursuit of the Seven Kill inheritor, and the looted Silver Horn City, the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, felt his internal aura fluctuating violently, becoming angrier the more he thought.

He could only suppress it, feeling a faint taste of blood in his mouth!

”There is still a chance!”

”There will be a chance in the future!”

.....

Ju Zhang kept convincing himself, and after a long time, his gloomy expression finally returned to normal. He slowly let out a breath of frustration, looking up at the Golden Pillar that touched the sky, his brow furrowed yet again.

Father, Golden Shuo True Monarch, asked him to report as soon as any result was available.

Ju Zhang understood his father’s intentions.

But he was thinking about more than that.

The impending war, with the existing Human Clan having three Ninth Tier members, and if war breaks out, both the Blood God Sect Hierarch and the Baidou Divine Sect Hierarch must be mobilized.

These two, after all, are not of their Eight Desolate Clan, and mobilizing them involves many troubles and inconveniences.

Moreover, the recent mobilization and power arrangements have heightened the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang’s vigilance to the extreme.

Two Ninth Tier members, both from the Human Clan.

And one of them will almost certainly ascend to the Great Star Monarch position in the future.

In a one-on-one fight, he can defeat either of the two.

But if these two join forces, he won’t be able to hold them down.

And these two have a natural basis for combined efforts.

This instilled a strong sense of pressure in Ju Zhang, foreseeing certain dangers ahead.

Whether it’s facing scolding once or twice, it’s still better than actually committing an unforgivable mistake.

Avoiding won’t solve the problem.

Moreover, the crisis is not only internal.

What if there’s a fourth Ninth Tier on the Human Clan’s side?

He must prepare for contingencies.

A few breaths later, after the resolute King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, reactivated the golden pillar that touched the sky, he reported the results of this matter, the current situation on the Eight Desolate Continent, the potential crisis ahead, and those dangers he was very worried about to Golden Shuo True Monarch in one breath.

After reporting, Ju Zhang refrained from saying more, quietly waiting beneath the golden pillar that touched the sky, preparing for scolding.

At most, a scolding is just a verbal lashing, considering the distance, his father can’t hit him physically anymore.

Yet surprisingly, there wasn’t the anticipated scolding.

A few breaths later, he heard his father Golden Shuo True Monarch’s calm voice from the golden pillar that touched the sky, or rather—praise!

”Zhang’er, what you’re doing now is what a superior should consider; both immediate and distant concerns are in place. Your vision and perspective have indeed grown.”

This sentence directly brought immense joy to Ju Zhang.

However, this was the first time he heard his father’s praise over the years.

But for some reason, upon hearing it, he wasn’t that thrilled anymore.

Therefore, Ju Zhang’s mentality transformed.

The father and son conversed quite a bit through the golden pillar that touched the sky, with Ju Zhang expressing his thoughts and demands straightforwardly.

”Ju Zhang, fundamentally speaking, the Eight Desolate Continent is considered part of the Kunling Domain, so it’s also restricted by the Heaven and Earth Dao of the Kunling Domain’s Middle World.

The Tenth Rank is the limit of the Heaven and Earth Dao, thus the Tenth Rank can only exit, not enter.

The Ninth Rank can theoretically enter, but the consumption is beyond imagination.

Even if I bear the maximum responsibility and you only endure the necessary fraction, you’ll have to pay an enormous price.

Think it over carefully,” Golden Shuo True Monarch stated.

”Father, can’t it be shared? On the Eight Desolate Continent, there are so many Eighth Tiers, shouldn’t they be able to help me share a part?” Ju Zhang asked.
