Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1683: Chapter 690: First Place and Knowing When to Quit (Double Chapter) (Part 4)

As for Yuanling True Monarch, just now, a bold idea emerged in his mind for a moment.

Why not kill this first place?

This Floating World Reflection Heart Lamp is his True Monarch Killing Weapon.

Being under the supervision of two True Monarchs, it’s hard to sabotage.

But if he kills that mysterious first place, it would be extremely easy.

All it takes is a slight activation.

But the problem is, killing this mysterious first place does him no good.

If Yuan Chengfa from their Yuan Family got the second place in the second round, then it would be fine.

He could quietly kill the first place without a sound, and Yuan Chengfa would step up to first, and the Yin Yang Star Marrow would be theirs.

But unfortunately, the second place is Lu Family’s Lu Zhen.

Killing the current mysterious first place would only benefit the Lu Family.

It has no benefits for him!

Why should he do that?

Now, it’s just waiting!

Waiting for this first place to be eliminated from the Illusion Realm.

He wants to see who this extraordinary person is, who could even edge out the Yuan Family prodigy whom he personally trained.

Perhaps, it would be wise for the Yuan Family to get acquainted earlier.

Moreover, theoretically, it should be soon.

After all, with similar cultivation realms, holding out half an hour to an hour longer than Yuan Chengfa and Lu Zhen is remarkable.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed since Lu Zhen was eliminated.

Still, no one has fallen out.

If Yuanling True Monarch couldn’t sense someone still in his illusion realm, he’d almost be skeptical.

”Where does this little fellow come from, lasting so long?” Yuanling True Monarch looked towards Tianzhang True Monarch.

”I don’t know either.” Tianzhang True Monarch shook his head.

...

Inside the Floating World Reflection Illusion Realm, Xu Jin was continuously absorbing the power of the seven emotions, growing more unsettled the more he absorbed.

The various illusions within this realm came wave after wave.

And with each wave, the power of the seven emotions was ever increasing.

The first wave was one, the second wave was two, and the tenth was ten.

The powers of the seven emotions kept rotating endlessly.

The difficulty was doubling, increasing exponentially.

For example, with the power of desire among the seven emotions, nearly a hundred now surge at once.

Originally, an illusion triggered by hundreds of desires was terrifying.

Even Xu Jin’s Spiritual Platform Star Skill couldn’t withstand it.

But fortunately, as soon as the power of desire surged, before it could transform into an illusion invading Xu Jin’s mind, it was absorbed by the continuously activated Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror.

Xu Jin was now considering another issue.

Has he been absorbing too much?

How much damage does he not know it is causing to this Floating World Reflection Heart Lamp?

If Yuanling True Monarch discovered it, would he come to trouble him?

Inside the Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror, the Mirror of Fear is full, and the Mirrors of Anger and Sorrow are also full.

Currently, each mirror of Xu Jin’s Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror has a capacity limit of seven thousand threads.

Now three mirrors are full.

The collection speed has noticeably slowed down.

The power of the three full mirrors kept surging, yet it couldn’t be collected.

Accordingly, the collection of the other four powers became relatively slow.

Nevertheless, each of the other four powers of the seven emotions has already collected over four thousand threads at the least!

”It’s better to quit while ahead, don’t be too greedy!

I wonder what rank I am now?”

Suddenly, Xu Jin made a decision.

The next instant, just as a wave of joy surged, Xu Jin actively withdrew the Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror, not even waiting to put away the Spiritual Platform Star Skill.

Seventy or eighty threads of joy surged in, causing Xu Jin to become lost in it instantly.

...

In the sky above Xuandao Hall, Yuanling True Monarch frowned, looking at the other two True Monarchs, ”Both of you, should I investigate a bit, it’s been an hour and a half since the second place fell out.

This isn’t normal, is it?

Maybe something’s wrong with this first place?”

Hearing this, True Monarch Bixuan nodded, ”Indeed, it’s not normal.”

But True Monarch Tianzhang insisted, shaking his head, ”No, the divine soul assessment is crucial and cannot be interfered with!”

”Must we just keep waiting if he never comes out?” Yuanling True Monarch said helplessly.

”It should be soon....”

Just as True Monarch Tianzhang spoke, suddenly, someone fell out from the void, accompanied by a burst of hearty laughter.

The laughter filled the sky above Xuandao Hall.

In an instant, all eyes were on him.

Many who recognized Xu Jin gasped, as a chilling starlight poured onto Xu Jin’s face.

The laughter abruptly stopped!

Xu Jin landed.

But still attracted everyone’s attention!

”He’s out!”

As True Monarch Tianzhang spoke, the divine thoughts of the two True Monarchs had already landed on Xu Jin, eager to scrutinize everything about him!

But divine thoughts aren’t all-powerful.

They could only sense Xu Jin’s cultivation level and the general aura of the Daoist Embryo.

Especially since Xu Jin was concealing it.

”The Dao Child Selection is hereby concluded. Everyone still present before Xuandao Hall at this moment is the newly selected Dao Children of this session!

Next, the rewards for the second round of Dao Child Selection will be distributed.” True Monarch Tianzhang announced in public.

After the announcement, as he took out a jade box, he looked towards True Monarch Bixuan and Yuanling True Monarch.

”Both of you, please lift the seal so I can distribute the rewards!”

This Yin Yang Star Marrow, although in True Monarch Tianzhang’s hands, was heavily sealed by the other two!

True Monarch Bixuan and Yuanling True Monarch exchanged a glance, with Yuanling True Monarch first lifting the seal, and True Monarch Tianzhang’s gaze turned to True Monarch Bixuan.

The latter glanced at the two, sighed silently, and released his divine thought, and the seal was lifted.

The next moment, streams of light flew from True Monarch Tianzhang’s hand to the top ten of the second round of Dao Child Selection.

A jade box appeared in Xu Jin’s arms.

At the same instant, True Monarch Tianzhang’s voice rang in Xu Jin’s mind, ”Xu Jin, you ranked first in the second round of Dao Child Selection, this reward, the Yin Yang Star Marrow, has already been given to you!

You should use it and refine it as soon as possible.

And it’s best to refine it within the Dao Palace!”

”Thank you for the reminder, True Monarch.” Xu Jin instantly understood the goodwill of True Monarch Tianzhang.

At the same time, True Monarch Tianzhang’s voice echoed in the square in front of Xuandao Hall, ”The Dao Child Selection is over, you all can disperse. In one day, there will be a grand comparison to determine the Dao Child sequence, to allocate the cultivation resources to you all!”

Moments later, the crowd dispersed, marking the end of the Dao Child Selection.

But to Xu Jin’s surprise, on his way back to the courtyard, three immense divine thoughts shrouded over Xu Jin’s head.
