Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1434: Chapter 575: The Youth Do Not Know the Value of Being Passive (2)

When young, one doesn’t know the benefit of being passive.

During the initial strengthening process, Xu Jin consistently increased the Star Power flow into the Heaven and Earth Bridge.

Both the Upper Star Palace and Xu Jin’s Primordial Spirit had a much higher endurance than Xu Jin had imagined.

If consumption can be withstood, to strengthen one Divine Soul Star Pattern to the ninth level, which means to strengthen it to the level that can forge a Nine-cornered Cloud Tower, it requires one and a half days.

Yet with Xu Jin’s current extremely abundant Star Power cultivation, strengthening one Star Power Star Pattern to the level that can forge a Nine-cornered Cloud Tower only requires half a day.

One-third the efficiency.

But this is a Divine Soul Star Pattern, which can be understood.

Subsequently, Xu Jin began to focus his attention fully on the strengthening.

Only half a day later, Xu Jin discovered a new problem.

The consumption of Divine Soul cultivation was still relatively large. With his Divine Soul cultivation, along with the constant operation and recovery of Spiritual Platform Star Skill, half a day was enough to consume nearly all.

Then, he needs to sleep to recover.

At least one two-hour sleep is required for full recovery.

This way, the estimated time needed to strengthen one Divine Soul Star Pattern to the ninth level is two days.

But this time is still acceptable.

After all, most Sixth Tier cultivators need ten days to half a month to strengthen one Star Pattern to the fifth or sixth level.

Soon, Xu Jin strengthened the first Clearing Soul Star Pattern to the eighth layer, and a new problem emerged.

Strengthening to the eighth layer only allows forging an Octagonal Cloud Tower.

To forge a Nine-cornered Cloud Tower, Xu Jin needs a Ninth Order Divine Soul Star Pattern.

Should it be an Octagonal Cloud Tower or a Nine-cornered Cloud Tower?

Xu Jin pondered for just a moment before arriving at an answer.

Nine-cornered Cloud Tower.

It must be nine corners.

Because Xu Jin has the conditions for it.

Although a Ninth Order Divine Soul Star Pattern is slightly more difficult than a Ninth Order Star Power Star Pattern, Xu Jin still has one complete Divine Dao True Intent and two-tenths of the residue from the last attributeless Divine Dao True Intent.

He must try it.

As for difficulty, Xu Jin himself was mentally prepared.

Moreover, if successfully deducing Ninth Order Divine Soul-type Star Pattern, the benefits would be absolutely remarkable.

On this, Xu Jin is confident.

Previously, he spent a great deal of Gold Stars deducing Star Patterns like Warm Dream and Clear Soul, each of which has given him rich returns.

This time, Xu Jin selected the Clearing Soul Star Pattern to deduce Ninth Order Divine Soul-type Star Pattern.

When young, one doesn’t know the benefit of being passive, now, it must be faced directly.

However, Xu Jin wasn’t so reckless as to directly incite that Divine Dao True Intent to deduce the Clearing Soul Star Pattern of Eighth Tier lower.

Xu Jin was well aware of the root of his growing proficiency in Star Pattern deduction and his increasing speed along this path.

Accumulation!

A massive accumulation of Star Pattern deducing experience, especially by leveraging the Star Lamps, he had deduced all the handbook-related forwards of senior predecessors from the National Taoist Institute and Lingji Star Hall.

With Star Lamp accelerating the process, Xu Jin spent a year, along with the aids from Silver Star, Gold Star, Bright Star, and the Star Dome Secret Realm eventually to the Combat Lamp Domain.

While others without these aids, let alone one year, even ten years or twenty years couldn’t possibly achieve this.

The deeper into the late period, the more difficult it becomes.

The less foundation, the more challenging.

It’s much like the mathematics subject of the past life.

It’s also the way of accumulating thickly to break through thinly.

And now, since Xu Jin intends to deduce Clearing Soul Star Pattern of Eighth Tier lower, not wanting to waste the Divine Dao True Intent, he still adheres to this age-old path of accumulating thickly to break through thinly.

This thing of Divine Dao True Intent, even if Xu Jin can still exchange for it, is extremely precious.

Then Xu Jin started to incite Gold Star, beginning to enlighten and deduce Divine Soul-type Star Pattern as accumulation for deducing Ninth Order Star Pattern.

The first deduced were the Guicang Star Pattern and Elephant Concealing Star Pattern of the Invisibility trilogy, both are Fifth Tier Middle and have never been deduced previously. Now with leisure, they could be deduced.

Compared to deducing Star Power Star Pattern, the aid from Combat Lamp Domain is smaller in deducing Divine Soul Star Pattern but still existent.

The aid effect from Star Dome Secret Realm also existed.

Coupled with Gold Star effect, the deducing speed was even faster.

Theoretically, Xu Jin could deduce one Star Pattern to eighth-tier upper within one or two two-hour periods.

However, Xu Jin didn’t do so.

What Xu Jin needed now was the accumulation during this process, not the result.

In the process of deducing, he was doing his utmost to discover, summarize, research the laws related to Divine Soul Star Pattern.

In preparation for deducing the Eighth Tier Lower Clearing Soul.

Originally a Guicang Star Pattern that could be deduced to eighth-tier upper within one or two two-hour periods, Xu Jin spent half a day.

After another half a day, Elephant Concealing Star Pattern was deduced to eighth-tier upper.

A day later, Warm Dream, Breaking Evil, Suppressing Intent, Mirage Truth—all four star patterns were deduced by Xu Jin to eighth-tier upper.

Yet another day later, specifically March 9th, due to the complete depletion of Gold Star and Bright Star, Xu Jin had deduced all Divine Soul-type Star Patterns engraved within his Upper Star Palace, including Shock and Fear, Intention Cage, Yin Desire, and Sumeru Star Pattern to Eighth Tier Lower, with some deduced to Eighth Tier Middle.

The main reason for exhausting Gold Star was that at Xu Jin’s current level of Star Pattern deduction, Gold Star isn’t irreplaceable anymore.

With the aid of one Gold Star, Xu Jin can quickly deduce an eighth-tier lower Star Pattern to eighth-tier upper within an hour.

But likewise, Xu Jin, in the absence of Gold Star can deduce independently within two days.

In the future, it will only become quicker!

Might as well quickly become his stepping stone!

On March 10th, Xu Jin began to incite the last attributeless Divine Dao True Intent in hand to deduce the Eighth Tier Lower Clearing Soul Star Pattern.

Just after starting for an hour, Xu Jin let out a soft hiss.

Difficulty was greater than he imagined.

However, it hadn’t exceeded the worst-case scenario.

The most ideal scenario was for one Divine Dao True Intent to deduce the Eighth Tier lower Clearing Soul Star Pattern.

Xu Jin knew this possibility was small.

He was prepared for needing two.

But judging from the current progress, two won’t suffice, probably three Divine Dao True Intents were needed.

Consumption is four times that of Star Power Star Pattern.

Once the arrow is nocked, there’s no turning back.

Since the deduction had started, regrets won’t follow.

Xu Jin himself was also somewhat anticipating the surprise Eighth Tier Lower Clearing Soul Star Pattern would bring him.

On March 11th, the sole Divine Dao True Intent was completely depleted, and unsurprisingly, the progress was only a little more than a third.

The subsequent step is to exchange for Divine Dao True Intent.

However, upon awakening, Xu Jin noticed National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s message. After reading it, his gaze intensified; Xu Jin immediately sent a Starlight Transmission back to National Master Cheng Yuxiao.

[National Master, the infiltrated traitor, is it indeed him?]

[Currently, all analyses and traces of evidence point to him.]

[Is there proof?]

[No proof! This is indeed the most helpless part presently. Given his position, without proof, we can’t tackle him.]

After pondering for several moments, Xu Jin quickly replied, [National Master, please wait for a moment, I might have a way.]
