Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1973: Chapter 841: Identity Exposed?

In the Eastern Star Realm, originally there were seven True Monarchs, but currently only four reside within the realm, while the other three are within the three major military corps.

Undoubtedly, among the three major military corps stationed outside, the Golden Rhinoceros Corps and Fire Serpent Corps are more powerful, and those who lead these corps are certainly Emperor-level experts.

Rank six: Di Lan, with forty points.

Behind Di Lan, it is rumored to have the backing of Hai Yue Emperor, one of the six Emperors of the Tongxuan Domain, and it is said he is a bloodline heir.

Ranks seven and eight are about the same.

The top ten positions are basically all occupied by people related to Emperors.

Beyond the top ten are the top hundred, with the font size being about the size of a fist, further back from hundred to three hundred, the font size is akin to a baby’s fist.

As for those after three hundred, the experts present need to use their eyesight to see, it’s merely a display.

As the selection started, the Emperor’s shadow in the void slowly solidified, without any further changes.

This is a Divine Separation left by the Emperor here, able to connect and observe this place at any time, but certainly cannot wait here indefinitely.

The fact that the starlight of this shadow solidified indicates that the Emperor’s attention is no longer here.

In an instant, the Emperors and True Monarchs remaining in the Saint Selection Camp started to communicate and interact.

Those with friendships made connections, those with trades discussed trades.

Yet the Eastern Star Realm was more peculiar.

The Emperors’ gazes swept across True Monarch Tianzhang, noticing him significantly, but no one spoke.

The Eastern Star Realm is the only Great World in the Tongxuan Domain without an Emperor, naturally the Emperors have their ideas.

But without the Emperor’s words, they dared not act recklessly.

Watching Di Lan’s points continually fluctuate between fifth and sixth on the rankings, True Monarch Tianzhang thought of Xu Jin’s background.

In his previous speculation, Xu Jin must have an Emperor as his backing.

Otherwise, such changes in capability would never be possible.

In a year and a half, Xu Jin’s cultivation level rose from Early Eighth Tier to Peak of Ninth Tier, such growth speed couldn’t be supported by Yutang Royal Mansion.

Even if it were the Heavenly Jade True Monarch Mansion, supporting him would take all their efforts.

On top of that, not even calculating the huge consumption of his Eight Systems Full Cultivation.

There must be an Emperor.

As for which Emperor is backing him, True Monarch Tianzhang has done countless deduction analyses.

In theory, any of the six Emperors currently in the Tongxuan Domain could be possible.

However, whether the Emperor allows it is another matter.

In addition to the Tongxuan Domain itself, there are five other Great Worlds, but there are six Emperors.

Except for the Eastern Star Realm, the other four Great Worlds have Emperor-level experts in charge.

That means, out of the six Emperors in the Tongxuan Domain, two are without territory.

Having no territory is very normal; more than seventy percent of Emperors are without territory. But within the Tongxuan Domain, four have it, two don’t.

This creates incredibly fierce overt and covert struggles.

The two without territory are Hai Yue Emperor and Yu Kun Emperor.

A hundred years ago, Yu Kun Emperor attempted to seize the Eastern Star Realm but failed, forming a great resentment.

Thus, psychologically, True Monarch Tianzhang is more accepting of Hai Yue Emperor.

If he found out Xu Jin had any contact with Yu Kun Emperor, Xu Jin would likely have disappeared without a trace long ago.

”Perhaps, I should also make preparations early.”

With this thought, True Monarch Tianzhang’s gaze shifted to Hai Yue Emperor.

Sensing this, Hai Yue Emperor nodded slightly as a gesture of return.

He also has ideas regarding the Eastern Star Realm.

”Emperor, long time no see.” True Monarch Tianzhang transmitted with his Divine Soul.

”Mr. Tianzhang, long time no see.”

In terms of age, True Monarch Tianzhang is much older than Hai Yue Emperor.

”Though we haven’t met in a long time, the Emperor’s accomplishments in guiding disciples are truly admirable, having taught such an outstanding disciple which has opened my eyes and makes me very envious.” As True Monarch Tianzhang decided inwardly, he transmitted further.

The change in the Eastern Star Realm is beyond his control now.

It’s better to join early and support the new holder for higher and greater respect.

Otherwise, the decline of the family is inevitable.

The reason is simple.

Behind every Emperor, there are many True Monarch experts, whereas an Emperor without personnel is extremely rare.

Hai Yue Emperor’s lineup is considered small, known to have about sixteen or seventeen True Monarchs of early, middle, and high tiers.

Once Hai Yue Emperor takes charge of the Eastern Star Realm, over half of these True Monarchs will certainly flood into the Eastern Star Realm.

The territory of the Eastern Star Realm is only so big, having to accommodate dozens of True Monarchs would significantly compress the existing local forces.

Within the Eastern Star Realm, there are seven True Monarchs and nearly a hundred Star Lords with territories. At that time, the distribution will change completely.

True Monarch Tianzhang actively reaching out is aimed at minimizing the loss.

Mostly considering the future of his descendants!

Though it’s easier said, managing the children’s fate is truly challenging!

On the other side, hearing True Monarch Tianzhang’s Divine Soul transmission, Hai Yue Emperor was slightly stunned, involuntarily looking at his bloodline heir Di Lan, feeling bewildered.

Di Lan’s talents are outstanding, known among his Imperial Palace heirs, but not widespread, as he has deliberately protected him.

Yet True Monarch Tianzhang says this?

For a moment, Hai Yue Emperor couldn’t grasp the meaning.

Accomplishments in guiding disciples?

Hai Yue Emperor indeed understood some.

Given the current ranking, Di Lan fluctuates between sixth, seventh, and eighth, higher than average contestants.

But compared to other contestants related to Emperors, he tails behind?

Truly perplexing.

Nevertheless, Hai Yue Emperor has ambitions for the Eastern Star Realm.

Either way, with True Monarch Tianzhang now actively extending goodwill, he naturally couldn’t refuse.

After thinking, Hai Yue Emperor said, ”It’s alright, Di Lan’s aptitude is good, just hasn’t had a long cultivation time, only three to four decades, somewhat disadvantaged, his cultivation level stuck at the Peak of Ninth Tier.

Otherwise, advancing a rank or two more would be entirely possible.”

Receiving this response, True Monarch Tianzhang was stunned.

This isn’t right!

He almost had to explicitly say it, now Hai Yue Emperor wants to continue with charades?

Still doesn’t want to admit?

Unwilling to further engage?

What’s going on?

He referred to Xu Jin.

Regarding Di Lan, indeed talented, but compared to Xu Jin, in True Monarch Tianzhang’s view, shouldn’t be on par.

”Could it be caution or my words weren’t clear enough?”

With this thought, True Monarch Tianzhang reorganized his words solemnly, ”Di Lan is certainly formidable, but the other disciple of the Emperor, now that is truly exceptional and I really admire him. The Emperor’s arrangement for him is quite excellent.

At least I feel, it’s very fitting.”

Upon hearing this Divine Soul transmission, Hai Yue Emperor grew even more bewildered.

Amazement aside, it was only admiration.

Those veteran True Monarchs who battled alongside the Emperor in the past, though Emperor-status is unattainable, their connections are truly remarkable.

They even know of his decision to send his direct disciple to the Fire Serpent Corps.

These connections are truly unparalleled.

”Mr. Tianzhang, your intelligence is indeed sharp, being aware of my decision to send my direct disciple to the Fire Serpent Corps; it’s indeed a dual preparation!

After all, the Eastern Star Realm awaits the Emperor’s arrangements, if it doesn’t happen, I, an Emperor without territory, can only rely on expanding military forces from outside.” Hai Yue Emperor said.

At the moment of hearing this transmission, True Monarch Tianzhang felt as if the sky had collapsed.

But he is experienced with great storms, though his heart trembles, his face reveals nothing!

Incorrect!

His previous judgment of Xu Jin being backed by Hai Yue Emperor was wrong!

Otherwise, with the conversation reaching this depth, and Hai Yue Emperor even mentioning the belonging of the Eastern Star Realm, he wouldn’t neglect mentioning it at all.

Not mentioning it at this juncture can only mean Hai Yue Emperor is completely unaware of Xu Jin.

So who is Xu Jin really?

Who is truly behind Xu Jin?
