Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1727: Chapter 715: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand

Lower Pool Star Domain, Eastern Tianzhu Mountains.

A Vortex Star Gate hangs high in the void.

Beneath the Star Gate, two Ninth Tier experts sit cross-legged on a platform crafted at the mountain peak, silently cultivating with closed eyes.

At the edge of the platform, there are more than ten quiet rooms, fully equipped with life facilities.

On another peak, twenty cultivators of Mid to Late Period Eighth Tier also sit cross-legged.

Some are quietly cultivating, while others pay attention to the Star Gate in the void with their Divine Thought.

This is their duty.

Suddenly, the void Star Gate, which has long been quiet, begins to fluctuate violently, and amidst the flashing Starlight, all the Ninth and Eighth Tier guards present immediately open their eyes to look at the Star Gate.

[Report to the Lord of the Soldiers, the Star Gate has a disturbance, should be someone coming over.] As the leader here, the Ninth Tier Late Period expert Wei Han is the first to report to the Lord of the Soldiers and Clan Leader Wei Song.

[No matter who it is, stabilize it for me, I’ll be there right away.]

Inside the Mansion of the Lord of the Soldiers in Lower Pool Star Domain, the Lord of the Soldiers Wei Song got the message and instantly stood up, and at the same time, sent a Starlight Transmission to another person.

[Mr. He, the Star Gate I am guarding has some disturbance, it should be people from the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion, what should I do?] Wei Song asked using the Dongxuan Order for Starlight Transmission.

[You go first, check who the visitors are, how many, pretend to chat casually, ask if there will be more reinforcements coming, we will follow a thousand miles behind you, and once you’ve figured out the situation, immediately join forces to kill the opponent.] Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch He Jian instructed.

[Okay, Mr. He, I’m on my way.]

[Don’t bring any subordinates, lest you scare them. See if you can lure more reinforcements over, thoroughly weakening the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion’s strength.] He Jian added.

[Understood.]

In the next moment, the Lord of the Soldiers Wei Song from the Lower Pool Star Domain soared into the sky from the Mansion of the Lord of the Soldiers, heading towards the direction of the Star Gate.

Elsewhere, in an inconspicuous residence, three Tenth Rank Little Star Monarchs gather together.

However, their leader is not He Jian, but Little Star Monarch Liu Hongzhi from the Xiji Star Monarch Mansion.

After instructing the Lord of the Soldiers Wei Song from the Lower Pool Star Domain, He Jian immediately reported to their leader Liu Hongzhi.

Upon hearing, the Little Star Monarch Liu Hongzhi, with a pair of black, thick eyebrows straight into the hairline, stretches lazily, ”Since someone has arrived, let’s take action.

I hope the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion sends a few more experts for us to kill.

Killing a Tenth Rank Star Monarch could get us a reward of one drop of All Heaven Star Dew each from the Lu Family.

Along the way, we might also refine a Yan Dao Pearl.”

Liu Hongzhi’s words make the hope appear in the eyes of the Little Star Monarchs He Jian and Ji An. If it really happens that way, this trip would be very profitable.

”Sir, once we kill this wave of reinforcements from the Yutang Royal Mansion, can we open the sealed mine vein?” Ji An licks his lips and asks.

”Naturally! The Star Lord said to prioritize the Lu Family’s request, using it as bait to lure the Zhu Family’s experts over.

But once we kill one or two experts from Yutang the Zhu Family, there will be accountability.

By then, the sealed mine vein can be opened.” Liu Hongzhi smiled.

In his early years, the Xiji Star Monarch was a capable general under the Jade Hall True Monarch during warfare, but with Jade Hall True Monarch’s early demise and under the pressure of Bixuan True Monarch, Xiji Star Monarch joined Bixuan True Monarch’s forces early on to seek self-preservation.

However, after joining Bixuan True Monarch Mansion, the Xiji Star Monarch became the most active person in dealing with the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion.

Of course, he also reaped a lot of benefits from it.

”Sir, this mine vein from the Zhu Family, reportedly sealed for a hundred years, must have a lot of Star Crystal. At that time, would it be possible...? You know, my Lifebound Spiritual Treasure is still missing one or two treasure materials to upgrade to a Lifebound Suppressing Artifact, currently accumulating...”

Before Little Star Monarch Ji An can finish his words, he’s interrupted by Little Star Monarch He Jian, ”You fool, following the boss out like this, do you think you’ll miss out on rewards?

The Star Crystal from a mine sealed for a hundred years has no fixed amount; at that time, the output is decided by the boss.” He Jian laughed.

Upon hearing this, Ji An looks towards Liu Hongzhi with joy.

The latter smiles without speaking but nods slightly.

Ji An then begins to express his gratitude profusely.

Among the three, Liu Hongzhi from Xiji Star Monarch Mansion wasn’t only the highest status but had the strongest cultivation and combat power, having evolved three Law Paths, just a step away from breakthrough to Tenth Rank Great Star Monarch, but already possessing Great Star Monarch combat power.

He Jian, on the other hand, evolved two Law Paths, making him a prominent figure among Little Star Monarchs.

As for Ji An, he was the weakest among the Little Star Monarchs, only evolving one Law Path. In front of others, he was god-like, but in front of these two, he had to show deference.

”Let’s go, we move slowly, don’t expose traces, so we don’t scare away the Zhu Family’s reinforcements, that would be bad.” With Star Monarch Liu Hongzhi’s command, the three also soared into the sky, restraining their aura, flying unhurriedly toward the direction where the Lord of the Soldiers Wei Song watches over the Star Gate.

Amidst the flashing Starlight, a slight feeling of weightlessness arrives, and Xu Jin falls out from the Star Gate.

At the moment of transmission, Xu Jin has already activated the Daoist Embryo, prepared with Space Shifting Star Skill.

If the worst situation occurs, such as being surrounded and attacked immediately upon emerging from the Star Gate, he will immediately use Space Movement to escape.

Anywhere within a thousand meters of where a Star Gate exists, space cannot be locked and shaken closed.

This is because a Star Gate inherently has extremely fierce space fluctuations; to lock the space in a place with a Star Gate, one must first destroy the Star Gate itself.
