Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1809: Chapter 755: The Candou Platform’s Change (Double-Length)

Xu Jin originally thought that Princess Zhu Linxiao’s path was interrupted possibly due to her Divine Soul.

Usually, only when the Divine Soul suffers irreparable damage does the path get interrupted.

However, if the Divine Soul is severely damaged, not only will the path be interrupted, but life span will also be greatly reduced, and combat power will drastically decline.

But Zhu Linxiao’s combat power isn’t weak, which is where Xu Jin’s confusion lies.

Unexpectedly, the truth obtained from Yutang King Zhu Shizhen was completely beyond Xu Jin’s expectations and extremely troublesome.

Princess Zhu Linxiao’s Lifebound Suppressing Artifact was lost.

To be precise, it was taken and sealed by someone.

If it had been taken and directly destroyed, it would have been much easier.

Destroyed, at worst, the origin would be damaged, the Law Path shattered.

But with the foundation and ability of Yutang Royal Mansion, Zhu Linxiao could completely start over, refine a new Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, and evolve the Law Path once again.

In fact, if the other party had directly destroyed Zhu Linxiao’s Lifebound Suppressing Artifact, it wouldn’t have been so troublesome at all.

Currently, Zhu Linxiao cultivates four types of forces, primarily the Wind Series, supplemented by the Water Series and Fire Series, and additionally Space.

In essence, Space is just additional, merely for using the Space Shifting Star Skill.

The Lifebound Suppressing Artifact, taken and sealed, is of the Wind Series, a Lifebound Suppressing Artifact suppressing eight paths of the Wind Series Law Path.

If it hadn’t been taken and sealed, only destroyed, then Zhu Linxiao could completely re-cultivate the Wind Series, which would take merely a decade or so, or directly shift the primary focus to the Water or Fire Series to resume the path.

But with it being taken and sealed, she is stuck in an unyielding predicament.

Especially since Zhu Linxiao had already begun Star Storage and Infant Transformation, preparing for the next realm, starting to nourish stars with the Law Path, her primary Wind Series Lifebound Suppressing Artifact being taken and sealed directly trapped Zhu Linxiao’s cultivation level in place.

The primary Wind Series can’t progress due to the absence of the Lifebound Suppressing Artifact.

To replace it with the Fire or Water Series, she’s already started Star Storage and Infant Transformation, her Daoist Embryo has begun to merge with the stars nurturing the Wind Series Law Path under the Star Tower.

Changing the primary focus direction is impossible.

To change, unless separating the already merged Daoist Embryo with the Wind Series and the nurtured stars.

Separation is possible, but the Daoist Embryo will surely be heavily damaged, and the Divine Soul Origin severely hurt, by then, the cultivation level will drop, and the path will still be interrupted.

Moreover, it’s the kind with no hope.

Therefore, Bixuan True Monarch Mansion exhausted past favors and sought advice from Chiyun, an emperor with ties, to see if there’s a possibility to renew the path.

After Chiyun assessed Zhu Linxiao’s condition, he proposed two methods to renew the path.

The first method is the simplest, naturally to recover the lost Lifebound Suppressing Artifact, then all current issues would be resolved.

But the issue is, Zhu Linxiao still doesn’t even know who the expert ambushing her was.

Zhu Linxiao was the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall of the Dongxuan Star Realm, ambushed when leaving after reporting to the Tongxuan Imperial Palace.

The process of the Lifebound Suppressing Artifact being suppressed might have taken merely a breath or two.

Zhu Linxiao only knew the other was a True Monarch, wielding incredibly strong Divine Soul Divine Power.

At the moment of encounter, Zhu Linxiao fully activated the Wind Element Law Heavenly Road to buy time to escape.

But in an instant, she saw a golden toad open its mouth as if to swallow the entire Heaven and Earth, engulfing her whole being along with her Daoist Embryo.

In desperation, to save her life, she wielded the True Monarch Killing Weapon left by the Jade Hall True Monarch, gaining the opportunity to escape through instant space movement.

She managed to escape with her life.

But the moment she realized escaping, her Wind Element Lifebound Suppressing Artifact, Green Fall Shocking Swan, was not brought along and was out of contact.

Initially, she thought it had been taken as a spoil and the Divine Soul Seal destroyed.

After all, her Lifebound Suppressing Artifact, Green Fall Shocking Swan, was made from Innate Spiritual Material, extremely valuable.

Unexpectedly, the anticipated Divine Soul backlash never came.

Instead, losing the Lifebound Suppressing Artifact, her cultivation couldn’t progress, her path entirely cut off.

Only then did she realize her survival was likely intentional from the adversary.

After all, as a punishment hall master of the star realm, visiting the palace, had she been killed on her return, it would disgrace the emperor, surely investigated thoroughly.

Theoretically, an expert True Monarch, desiring to kill her, merely needed to suppress the void upon appearing, even with a life-saving True Monarch Killing Weapon, merely delaying the inevitable.

The adversary’s objective was clearly her Lifebound Suppressing Artifact and cutting her path.

Thus, Zhu Linxiao’s path was interrupted.

Yet, she didn’t even know who the enemy was.

Even though Yutang King Zhu Shizhen strongly suspects Bixuan True Monarch colluded with outsiders, there was no evidence.

Afterwards, despite Yutang Royal Mansion inquiring and scouting to find a True Monarch cultivating the Divine Skill Heaven-devouring Golden Toad, results were fruitless.

Whether Star Lords or True Monarchs, or even Emperors, Divine Skills are their secret weapons, rarely exposed, targets often turn out dead, making investigations difficult.

But since then, Bixuan True Monarch Mansion’s efforts to annex Yutang True Monarch Mansion’s territory doubled.

Yutang True Monarch Mansion rapidly declined.

And precisely because of this, the first method to renew the path became seemingly insoluble.
