Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1858: Chapter 781: Mysterious Divine Skill and Battle with the True Monarch

Is it to become a high-end hunter appearing in the form of prey?

Or should I proactively retreat to avoid this hunt?

After just a moment of consideration, Xu Jin made his decision.

He had no need to take risks.

He had just acquired a large amount of cultivation resources, and his cultivation level was also in a rapid growth stage, so why would he risk his life against a One Tribulation True Monarch?

There was absolutely no need.

He had just discovered the value of his Candou Platform, which could soon continuously snowball and convert into wealth.

No need to take this risk.

To be honest, if it were a Star Monarch, Xu Jin would have no hesitation.

Before breaking through, Xu Jin could possibly kill a Star Monarch with a full-force outburst.

After the breakthrough, even a top Star Monarch would not terrify Xu Jin.

But he had too little information about a One Tribulation True Monarch.

There’s no need to take the risk.

”Apologies, True Monarch, I am timid and dare not reach too high! Furthermore, this piece of Innate Treasure Material was obtained due to luck and coincidence, and such fortune is unlikely to happen again!” Xu Jin chose to decline.

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Xiong Lanzhou shook his head slightly with some regret, ”What a pity, I was hoping to make a young friend.”

As he spoke, the One Tribulation True Monarch directly took the Communication Jade Scroll from the Transmission Array and activated the short-distance Transmission Array to complete the trade.

”You should activate it too.”

Xu Jin nodded and immediately activated the short-distance Transmission Array in front of him.

Outside the trading room, Mr. Zheng exhaled in relief as he watched the scene.

Although he had seen many victims of ambush, he also despised the experts with malicious intentions in a world where the strong prey on the weak.

Why not trade properly!

They always have to stir up trouble!

Under the flashing light of the Transmission Array, the Wood Element Innate Treasure Material in front of Xu Jin vanished, replaced by the Wind Series Innate Treasure Material.

The One Tribulation True Monarch on the opposite side picked up the Wood Element Innate Treasure Material to examine, ”Indeed, it is a top-grade Wood Series Innate Treasure Material. This trade is indeed worthwhile! You should check it too, if there’s no issue, I’ll leave first.”

As he spoke, the One Tribulation True Monarch flicked four drops of All Heaven Star Dew towards Mr. Zheng, ”These items are of excellent value, I’ve made a profit. I’ll settle your commission too!”

”True Monarch, how generous!”

This saved two drops of All Heaven Star Dew, and Xu Jin expressed his gratitude and picked up the Wind Series Innate Treasure Material before him, while his Divine Thought already began to examine it, verifying the goods.

Indeed, it carried the aura of Innate Treasure Material.

”It is Innate Treasure Material...”

At the very moment of confirmation, Xu Jin suddenly sensed something unusual as his Mingji Star Pattern suddenly radiated brightly, issuing a warning.

Simultaneously, an eerie aura within the Innate Treasure Material shot along his Divine Thought into his body, disappearing instantly.

Xu Jin frowned abruptly.

Outside the trading room, Mr. Zheng asked with concern, ”Honored guest, is there an issue?”

”There is no issue with the item.”

Xu Jin shook his head and looked at the One Tribulation True Monarch opposite, who appeared as usual, and said, ”Since there’s no issue with the goods, I’ll take my leave first.”

Having spoken, the One Tribulation True Monarch left on his own accord.

”Honored guest, if there’s an issue with the item, you can inform us. Even if it’s a True Monarch, we can retrieve it. This is the reputation of the whole Treasure Light District,” Mr. Zheng approached with concern.

”There is no issue with the item.”

Ultimately, Xu Jin did not mention the anomaly.

He hadn’t yet identified it himself, so calling on outsiders to check his internal state would inevitably invite a True Monarch.

If mishandled, Xu Jin might expose more.

”Since there’s no issue with the item, this transaction is complete. Honored guest, feel free to involve me in your future business!

Additionally...”

Mr. Zheng glanced in the direction the One Tribulation True Monarch had left, ”Honored guest may stay in the city for a few days after the trade is entirely complete before leaving. Alternatively, you can purchase a few Directional Space Shifting Badges. It should allow quick transfer to the Teleportation Array and safely depart from this realm.”

Evidently, Mr. Zheng had sharp eyes and had already noticed something.

”Thank you, I’ll make the purchase!”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zheng exhaled in relief.

After tens of breaths, Xu Jin returned to the hotel he had booked, a small private courtyard, where he raised the Warning Isolation Array and began activating his Daoist Embryo’s Divine Thought, fully urging the Mingji Star Pattern to sense inside and outside his body to locate the aura that had entered him.

He searched within his body, but there was no trace.

Then Xu Jin began inspecting the Daoist Embryo, meticulously checking several times, and finally found a series of faint black patterns around the neck of the Daoist Embryo.

Xu Jin’s expression turned dark suddenly.

Now he understood.

The whole Communication Jade Scroll thing had been a smart ploy, including the payment of those two drops of All Heaven Star Dew, all to distract him.

If it hadn’t been for his Mingji Star Pattern giving a warning, the ploy of the One Tribulation True Monarch would likely have gone unnoticed.

”This silent and seamless method of direct intrusion into the Daoist Embryo is highly likely a divine skill!”

No need to ponder, these black rings surely have tracking and locating functionality; otherwise, why go through such effort.

However, now that it’s discovered, it’s simple to resolve.

Just destroy them.

Xu Jin remembered the person, and once his cultivation level breaks through again, he would surely hunt him down!

Damn it, he’s taking advantage of this!

In the next instant, Xu Jin cautiously began using his Divine Soul Power to annihilate the black rings encircling the neck of his Daoist Embryo.

What seemed like an easy task proved challenging; Xu Jin realized he had underestimated divine skills.
