Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1993: Chapter 851: The Power of Time Emerges

It’s not wind, thunder, or space, nor is it the Tao Rules of the Five Elements, much less the Power of Chaos.

Xu Jin was all too familiar with the Power of Chaos.

Amazed, two words floated to Xu Jin’s mind: Time.

”Could it be the Power of Time, the Time Dao?”

”Perhaps only fragments of the Time Dao might lead Emperor Dongxuan to decades of time without enlightenment.”

”Whether or not it is the Power of Time, I must first engage in enlightenment. Even a mere fragment could be exceptionally meaningful.

The question is whether my Candou Platform can invoke the Power of Time?”

With many questions, Xu Jin commenced the full engagement with the Dao fragment presented by Emperor Dongxuan.

At the beginning, it was incredibly obscure.

The power demonstrated by the fragment was like rivers and seas, overwhelmingly enormous, self-contained, extraordinary, like towering mountains, endlessly layered, its depth unknown.

At the start of the enlightenment process, Xu Jin tentatively attempted to summon various Origin Stars on the Candou Platform to see if there could be support.

Upon discovering no effect, he decisively commenced full enlightenment.

Over the years, Xu Jin had engaged in many Star Patterns, Daos, the Heaven and Earth Star Will, and the Law Path, shaping a system of his own.

Wherever paths are scarce, frequent traversing eventually creates routes.

This challenging and obscure Dao enlightenment was somewhat akin to when Xu Jin previously engaged the Divine Soul Star Pattern.

Initially, there was an overwhelming feeling akin to a tiger swallowing the sky with no way to start.

But if one sets aside the fragment’s overall and mysterious nature, avoiding an attempt to understand and analyze it in one breath, instead starting from a point, constantly sensing and mastering each independent point, progress begins exponentially once any two points are connected.

Hence, Xu Jin disregarded the so-called ’Power of Time’ mystery.

Using its most direct characteristic like the endless oceans as an entry point, he began enlightenment.

Continuously engaging and associating.

...

In the Saint Selection Camp, over a thousand contestants along with dozens of Emperors and True Monarchs were immersed.

In the void, Emperor Dongxuan watched the participants with a piercing gaze, musing, ”I wonder if this time an unexpected delight will appear...”

...

As time passed, a day and an hour later, the mysterious Dao floating in the void flashed with starlight, and the aura around Jianshui Emperor subtly shifted as if resonating with the mysterious Dao.

Upon opening his eyes, Jianshui Emperor saw Emperor Dongxuan observing him and promptly began enlightening the second Dao.

Only the first Dao exhibited profound vastness beyond any complex and magical power he had ever seen.

Mere moments after Jianshui Emperor’s enlightenment, within an hour, He Moyu’s body exhibited similar fluctuations, achieving the enlightenment of the First Layer.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw Emperor Dongxuan’s encouragement and continued enlightening the second Dao.

Seeing He Moyu succeed, Emperor Dongxuan nodded internally.

He Moyu indeed showed great talent in the Time Dao.

Although Jianshui Emperor was the first to succeed, the domain and accumulation of an Emperor offered substantial assistance.

By comparison, He Moyu’s talent in the Power of Time was the strongest.

Within an hour following He Moyu’s enlightenment success, Haiyue Emperor, Yu Kun Emperor, Chiyun, and other Emperors consecutively attained enlightenment of the first Dao.

Regarding these Emperors successfully enlightening the first Dao, Emperor Dongxuan was indifferent; the first Dao is merely introductory, becoming increasingly challenging afterwards.

Suddenly, two fluctuations arose simultaneously in the Saint Selection Camp.

Emerging from True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Xu Jin.

Emperor Dongxuan’s gaze abruptly focused on Xu Jin, ”Currently the top scorer? Still at the Peak of Ninth Rank; regarding potential, perhaps stronger than He Moyu.

Yet on the entry speed of the Power of Time, he is slightly slower than He Moyu.

We’ll see about his speed later.”

Suddenly, another fluctuation rose, Xiang Yan also succeeded in enlightening the first Dao, evoking the mysterious Dao’s response and diverting Emperor Dongxuan’s attention.

The moment Emperor Dongxuan’s gaze shifted, Xu Jin’s subtly tightened muscles under his skin slightly relaxed.

Just moments ago, he feared he had been discovered.

This discovery didn’t mean revealing his identity but rather his Candou Platform being detected.

Indeed, Xu Jin was caught by surprise.

He didn’t expect the terrifying presence in his perception to pause on him for merely two breaths before moving on.

A narrow escape.

Just prior, Xu Jin successfully enlightened the first Dao of the mysterious Dao likely to be the Power of Time, suspended in the void.

In the moment of success, Xu Jin immediately sensed the fragment’s slight tremor, resonating with the first Dao he had just succeeded in enlightening.

But at the moment of resonance, a mutation occurred.

The Candou Platform, which had previously shown no response to Xu Jin’s activation, now stirred.

During the resonance, the eight Origin Stars above the Candou Platform simultaneously flashed, and the mysterious Dao he succeeded in enlightening transformed into a starlight and flew above Xu Jin’s Candou Platform.

At the moment it flew in, first the Space Origin Star shone brightly, like welcoming, as if receiving, and beyond the eight Origin Stars, the previously manifested virtual position of the ninth star suddenly appeared.

The Space Origin Star directed the feebly weak Dao power strand to the position of the ninth star.
