Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1834: Chapter 768: Doubt and Examination (Part 2)

In the void, Mars Star Monarch looked astonished. Could it actually be done this way?

Amidst the astonishment, an anomaly quickly manifested in the sky.

Most of these Viscounts had cultivation levels in the mid to late period of the Ninth Tier, some even at the peak. Many possessed combat power of Little Star Monarch, even Great Star Monarch, and absorbed Star Power at an already rapid pace.

Now, with thousands of people collectively cultivating intensively, the Star Power at Dao Palace Square was consumed in an instant. Meanwhile, Star Power from all directions surged in quickly, directly forming a massive Star Power Vortex.

As the group continued their cultivation, this massive Star Power Vortex kept expanding.

Initially a vortex of a few meters, after 15 minutes, it expanded into a vortex spanning several kilometers.

From afar, a giant Star Power funnel formed above Dao Palace.

Inside Dao Palace, Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu, who was scrutinizing the journey records of a group of Viscounts, suddenly sensed an abnormal but not intense Star Power fluctuation.

Divine Thought retracted from the journey information of Xu Jin within the jade scroll.

Xu Jin’s journey information, thousands of characters long, had been reviewed multiple times, yet no issues were found.

His origin was clear and unblemished, from a Small World belonging to Yutang the Zhu Family. His growth track was traceable, with a history of parental illness and death, ultimately leaving only a few kin, excluding any close relatives. His only close relative now was the Eldest Princess Zhu Linxiao.

No weaknesses to exploit, and he had to regretfully set it aside.

”This abnormal Star Power?” Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu raised an eyebrow sensing the anomaly.

”It’s said that a group of Viscounts triggered the Star Power Vortex as they collectively cultivated while awaiting True Monarch’s inspection.” Tianzhang True Monarch, accompanying him, offered an explanation.

”Oh? It’s the Viscounts expressing discontent at my delayed arrival!” Ding Moqiu seized the opportunity to jest.

”That’s not the case, just diligence!” Tianzhang True Monarch added, inwardly sensing trouble, feeling the implication of seeking conflict.

”Such diligence, truly rare, today shall be to witness it.”

As he finished, Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu ascended upon the stars instantly, followed closely by his entourage, with Tianzhang True Monarch and his sub-officials trailing closely.

Yet, Tianzhang True Monarch remained perplexed; the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch was just fine before, why the sudden change in demeanor?

”True Monarch arrives!”

Mars Star Monarch shouted, directly interrupting the cultivation of the Viscounts.

Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu had already landed.

The Viscounts rose one after another as Tianzhang True Monarch, having briefly understood the situation through Mars Star Monarch, felt both surprise and intrigue.

Truth be told, he hadn’t seen such fervent cultivation in all his years overseeing Dao Palace.

As Heavenly Patrol True Monarch, Ding Moqiu showed his prowess.

Speaking in the guise of an ambassador for the Emperor, he voiced encouragement to the Viscounts before stepping directly to Xu Jin, examining him, ”At the peak of the Eighth Tier, if my guess is correct, you’re the newly promoted Third Rank Star General Xu Jin who achieved Great Merit?”

”Indeed, it’s me. Xu Jin greets the True Monarch!” Xu Jin saluted politely yet firmly.

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu scrutinized Xu Jin thoroughly, then queried, ”Specializing in Thunder Series, with a strong ancillary study in Space Star Techniques, adept in Space Movement, and the Bursting Star Skill?”

”That is correct.”

”By the battle reports, you and Zhang Huai jointly slew two Alien Race Star Monarchs, theoretically granting you the combat power to slay a Star Monarch solo.

If so, your main Thunder Series path has evolved along four or five Law Paths, perhaps even more, correct?” Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu inquired.

”True Monarch, you overpraise. It’s merely four paths.” Xu Jin replied.

These words caused an uproar among the surrounding Viscounts.

Their guesses were one thing; Xu Jin’s admission was quite another.

Four paths!

Many amongst them, even those at the pinnacle of the Ninth Tier, had only comprehended and evolved one or two paths and already felt quite outstanding.

Now, hearing Xu Jin at the peak of the Eighth Tier has evolved four, their envy was profoundly different.

”Indeed, a top-tier genius! I heard you ascended to the summit of the Thunder and Space Systems’ Law Path Heavenly Road, entering the Emperor’s Secret Realm. Any insights?

Are they related to the evolution of your Law Paths?” Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu asked. (Within Tongxuan Domain, generals refer to Emperor Dongxuan as Emperor, distinguishing from other Emperors.)

With these words, all eyes focused on Xu Jin, each face full of anticipation, wanting to know the answer.

Xu Jin, however, first raised his eyes, meeting Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu’s gaze, visibly discontent.

Such personal fortunes, how could they be questions asked openly?

This guy asking like this, already showed bad intent.

Plus, clearly trying to rely on the True Monarch’s status to extract the answer.

Betting that Xu Jin wouldn’t dare disrespect him in front of everyone.

”True Monarch, apologies, cannot say!” Xu Jin directly refused.

Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu’s expression sharpened, ”Why?”

”There’s a message left in the Emperor’s Secret Realm recommending not to reveal the mysteries.” Xu Jin stated.

Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu’s stern expression softened in an instant, ”If it’s the Emperor’s advice, then it mustn’t be disclosed.

By the way, Xu Jin, with your capabilities at the peak of the Eighth Tier, your Thunder Series Lifebound Spiritual Treasure capable of withstanding four Thunder Series Laws, it presumably is exceptional quality. May I admire it briefly?”

With these words, the Viscounts all exhibited curiosity again, including Yuan Chengfa.
