Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1697: Chapter 698: Bixuan’s Fury

Xu Jin, over the past year, had heard the term ”Evolution of Dao” many times.

But to witness it firsthand and experience it personally was a first.

It was incredibly powerful.

In Xu Jin’s understanding, Star Skill is actually the result of operating Star Power in a special way. If one can induce or integrate a bit of Tao Rules, then it becomes a very powerful Star Skill.

If one can comprehend new Star Skills through the evolution of multiple Tao Rules, it becomes a highly formidable attack, like Xu Jin’s Star Fragmentation, or Thunder Prison!

But just now, Yuan Chengfa’s Flame Heavenly Road was directly manifested from Tao Rules using Star Power.

And this manifestation changes constantly.

A single Tao Rule can evolve into several or even dozens of Star Skills, and by showcasing Star Skills, only part of the Tao Rule’s might is revealed.

However, the Tao Rule Heavenly Road condensed after the evolution of Dao presents the Tao Rules using Star Power in a dynamic form, encompassing all Star Power transformations under that Tao Rule.

The destructive power is extremely astonishing.

This is also where the strength of a Star Lord lies.

Today, Xu Jin has witnessed it too.

In this battle, Xu Jin lost, but he accepted the defeat wholeheartedly, and even felt it was well worth it.

This Yuan Chengfa truly deserves to be the current top Dao Child of Dongxuan Star Realm, with a cultivation level in the late Ninth Tier and the realm of a Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch.

In other words, as long as the cultivation level reaches, Yuan Chengfa can smoothly break through to the Tenth Rank and achieve Little Star Monarch status.

With this thought, Xu Jin glanced at Zhu Yutang.

The intelligence from Yutang Royal Mansion was somewhat delayed; this Yuan Chengfa likely possesses combat power capable of defeating a Tenth Rank Great Star Monarch.

However, the most surprising aspect for Xu Jin in this battle was the new purpose of the Origin Stars on the Candou Platform.

His Origin Stars even had the function of suppressing Yuan Chengfa’s Tao Rule Heavenly Road.

At the moment of defeat earlier, it had already manifested.

Unfortunately, Xu Jin’s Star Power wasn’t enough to make the suppression effect obvious.

If that’s the case, the Origin Stars on the Candou Platform will be Xu Jin’s secret weapon against strong Star Lords.

Even if not completely suppressed, suppressing part of it would be incredibly intimidating.

Therefore, the urgent task is still to quickly enhance his cultivation level.

Not only Xu Jin, but all Dao Children from all directions watching the battle, and the Star Lords and nobles from Dongxuan Star Realm who were watching from the sidelines were astonished.

None of them expected Yuan Chengfa’s ultimate move to be the Tao Rule Heavenly Road after the evolution of Dao.

In a blink, all the Star Lords and nobles were congratulating True Monarch Yuanling and the few Star Lords from Yuanling True Monarch Mansion.

As of today, it’s certain that True Monarch Yuanling has added a new Tenth Rank Star Monarch.

And one with limitless potential.

Many Dao Children who knew Yuan Chengfa were also congratulating him.

Their expressions and titles had entirely changed.

Below the Star Monarch, it’s hard to be called nobility!

This is the tradition of Dongxuan Star Realm, and even the entire Tongxuan Domain ruled by Emperor Dongxuan.

Only by breaking through to become a Star Monarch, even a Little Star Monarch, can one truly ascend the social ladder like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

And for Yuan Chengfa, Little Star Monarch is just the beginning.

Compared to Yuan Chengfa, the victor, Xu Jin, the defeated, rarely attracted attention.

Honor always belongs to the victor.

”Brother-in-law, you’re only in the early eighth tier, yet you forced Yuan Chengfa to use the Tao Rule Heavenly Road that only a tenth-rank Star Monarch can use. If your cultivation level breaks through to mid or late eighth tier, how strong would you be?” Zhu Shizhen’s voice rang out.

Xu Jin glanced at Zhu Shizhen and immediately understood his intent.

He was worried that Xu Jin might suffer damage to his Dao heart after the defeat, so he came to comfort him.

”Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile!”

After speaking, a hint of surprise appeared in Xu Jin’s eyes, ”By the way, why are you only coming to comfort me now, why not earlier?” Xu Jin jested.

”Brother-in-law, others might not see through it, but I have fought alongside you, how could I not understand? That battle didn’t count!

Was it that person who spoke?” Zhu Shizhen glanced up at the sky.

”Only you are smart, no!”

Xu Jin firmly denied it, while Zhu Shizhen just chuckled.

Not far away, Su Xuan, who was originally preparing for a battle with Lu Zhen, was now staring at Xu Jin intently, full of doubt.

If it weren’t for this battle between Xu Jin and Yuan Chengfa, Su Xuan was a hundred percent confident in defeating Xu Jin head-on, but now, he was somewhat skeptical.

Because he had also battled against Yuan Chengfa before!

”Sixth match, Su Xuan vs. Lu Zhen.”

The voice of Mars Star Monarch timely rang out, causing Su Xuan to take a deep breath and step onto the virtual platform.

Now his goal was to defeat Lu Zhen.

As for the confusion in his mind, he could find a chance to fight Xu Jin again in the future to personally verify it.

The battle between Su Xuan and Lu Zhen was still highly anticipated by many, but had already fallen out of some people’s view.

Such as Yuan Chengfa.

As the two began their battle, Yuan Chengfa had already approached Xu Jin.

”Brother Xu, let’s add each other as friends, and spar more when we have time!” Yuan Chengfa took the initiative to bring out the Dongxuan Order.

Xu Jin naturally complied politely.

A rival like this and a free sparring partner are both needed.

”Brother Xu, I await the day you defeat me!” After adding as friends, Yuan Chengfa said with burning eyes.

”Mr. Yuan is joking; it won’t be long before you break through to a tenth-rank Little Star Monarch. In the future, defeating you will be extremely challenging!”

”Brother Xu is too modest! At the last moment of our fight, I felt my Tao Rule Heavenly Road was suppressed, greatly reducing its power.

But I felt Brother Xu used it a bit late.

If a bit earlier, the outcome might have been different.

What is this method of yours?

Can it actually suppress the Tao Rule Heavenly Road?” Yuan Chengfa asked straight away.

Xu Jin never expected Yuan Chengfa to ask such a question; the secret of the Candou Platform must not be exposed, but Xu Jin wasn’t flustered, and instead smiled, ”Only Tao Rules can counter Tao Rules!

Mr. Yuan should know I didn’t exert all my strength when crossing the Fire Series Law Heavenly Road, right?”

Yuan Chengfa was startled, immediately recalling the incident on the Fire Series Law Heavenly Road that day.

Xu Jin was only two ranks behind him.

But clearly, that day Xu Jin only aimed to get rewards, so he climbed up to the sixtieth tier of the Fire Series Law Heavenly Road in just over half a quarter-hour.

If Xu Jin were given enough time, it would be very likely that he would surpass him.

From this perspective, Xu Jin’s insight into the Fire Series Dao Rules might be even stronger than his.

This made it clear.

And just during the exchange between the two, the great battle between Su Xuan and Lu Zhen also came to a result.

The moment both gazes turned over, Lu Zhen, who had just been transported out by the Life Replacement Token, angrily punched the ground.

In the void, True Monarch Bixuan wore a grim expression, casting a cold glance at True Monarch Tianzhang, and as his sidelong glance swept over Xu Jin, he vanished.

The few Star Monarchs from Bixuan True Monarch Mansion left at the scene also looked unpleasant.

With this battle, the rankings were determined.

Lu Zhen ranked fourth, according to the rules, he could only enjoy fourth-class Daoist treatment.

In the previous second round of the election, Lu Zhen was among the top ten, allowing his treatment to be raised by one class, ultimately enjoying third-class treatment.

But the problem is, the aim of True Monarch Bixuan was first-class treatment.

Among all Daoist treatments, Bixuan True Monarch Mansion or the major True Monarch Mansions only valued two and a half things the most.

One is the number of times for enlightenment of the True Monarch Blood Crystal, another is the number of times for enlightenment of the Emperor’s Dao Secret Realm, and the other half is Star Dew.

Even one opportunity for the enlightenment of the True Monarch Blood Crystal is extremely precious for Bixuan True Monarch Mansion.

Looking at Yutang True Monarch Mansion, they could only provide Xu Jin with one Nine Tribulations True Monarch Blood Crystal enlightenment opportunity, but Bixuan True Monarch Mansion had none at all.

In earlier years, through wars and rewards, True Monarch Bixuan had obtained two True Monarch Blood Crystals, but due to the thriving population and numerous talents in Bixuan True Monarch Mansion, they were long used up.

So, the two enlightenment opportunities for the Blood Crystal in this Taoist Palace are incredibly precious.

Even more so for the Emperor’s Dao Secret Realm.

This is unique to the Taoist Palace, and the True Monarch Mansion doesn’t have it at all.

Now, only one opportunity was secured, and the next will have to wait for another ten years.

It also depends on the presence of talent in the family.

Moreover, what infuriated True Monarch Bixuan the most was that among the Four Great True Monarch Mansions, excluding Yutang True Monarch Mansion, Su Xuan from Tianzhang True Monarch Mansion and Yuan Chengfa from Yuanling True Monarch Mansion both secured first-class Daoist treatment.

But it left out their Lu Family!

Besides the anger, it also gave True Monarch Bixuan a sense of crisis!

The Bixuan Lu Family must make changes and take action.

Otherwise, they would be sitting and waiting for doom!

This was the only thought True Monarch Bixuan had as he exited and left the scene.

At the same moment, the heavily wounded Lu Zhen was also taken away for healing by other Star Monarchs from Bixuan True Monarch Mansion.

At the moment of being taken away, Lu Zhen looked at Xu Jin with a gaze filled with killing intent, including that of the Lu Family Star Monarch, whose look at Xu Jin was also extremely cold.

This was collective hatred towards Xu Jin.

Xu Jin naturally felt this gaze but was indifferent.

From the moment he refused Heixuan Star Monarch, Xu Jin knew there would be such a moment.

In this world, there is no perfect stance!

The rankings for the top ten of the Daoist sequence ranking battle have been determined.

Yuan Chengfa, Su Xuan, Xu Jin, Lu Zhen, Mei Zhongliang, Qiao Xueman, Liu Shu...

Among the top ten, besides Xu Jin, either they came from True Monarch Mansion or Star Monarch Mansion.

However, the top ten were out, but the Daoist sequence ranking battle was not over.

Many Daoists who were eliminated by the Big Array from the beginning were unwilling and started challenging according to the rules.

There were quite a few.

But most of them failed in their challenges, although quite a few succeeded.

For those Daoists from ordinary origins, even just an upgrade of one class of treatment would mean a significant increase in cultivation resources.

As for the battles, there was nothing much to see.

Two hours later, the Daoist sequence ranking battle officially ended, and the rankings and treatments of each Daoist would be publicly announced to the entire Dongxuan Star Realm.

Xu Jin, looking at the announcement information received on the Dongxuan Order, had a slightly peculiar expression.

[First Daoist: Yuan Chengfa, enjoying first-class Daoist treatment]

[Second Daoist: Su Xuan, enjoying first-class Daoist treatment]

[Third Daoist: Xu Jin, enjoying first-class Daoist treatment]

[Fourth Daoist: Lu Zhen, enjoying third-class Daoist treatment]

.....

This starlight transmission made Xu Jin shake his head, feeling that it was inciting enmity for him again.

If Lu Zhen or the people from the Lu Family saw this, wouldn’t they go crazy?

All the top three Daoists enjoyed first-class treatment, but Lu Zhen from their Bixuan True Monarch Mansion got third-class!

...

There was one thing Xu Jin guessed wrong.

The numerous high-level individuals from Bixuan True Monarch Mansion, especially Prince Bixuan, did not go crazy when seeing this announcement; instead, they were furious.

With a fierce light in his eyes, the teacup in front of the maid serving tea directly shattered, ”Get out!”

The maid was so frightened that she trembled all over, immediately bowed, and retreated.

But in her panic, she tripped at her feet and fell to the ground, shattering the tea tray.

”Useless!”

The moment Prince Bixuan’s gaze swept over, the maid first exploded into a mist of blood, and then the blood mist turned to ash!

What was left was only a bit of ashes.

”Come over, there is an important matter!”

A divine soul transmission echoed in his mind, instantly dissipating the violent look in Prince Bixuan’s eyes, making his expression become extremely respectful as he bowed to the void, ”Respectfully receiving the decree from the ancestor.”

In the next instant, Prince Bixuan transformed into starlight and rushed out of the hall, summoned by True Monarch Bixuan.

At the same time, Xu Jin, who had just finished the Daoist sequence ranking battle, also received a series of starlight transmissions.

The first starlight transmission was nothing special, just mentioning the need to provide Xu Jin with a Daoist residence matching his status.

But the second starlight transmission made Xu Jin very excited, saying that if Xu Jin had time, he could go claim the cultivation materials included in the Daoist treatment!

The first thing Xu Jin thought of was the Emperor’s Dao Secret Realm!
