Chapter 1619: Chapter 663: Second Natal Star? (2)

After that, Xu Jin activated the Daoist Embryo. In an instant, the Lifebound Star Spirit in the Galaxy shimmered slightly with starlight, and in Xu Jin’s perception, the group of Star Halls on the Lifebound Star Spirit had already emerged in his mind.

With the simultaneous activation of the Mingji Star Pattern and the high-tier Seven Killings Sword Heart, Xu Jin once again activated the Star Killing Skill, then sat cross-legged on the Star River Island, wielding sword after sword, continuing to strike at the Lifebound Star Spirit.

Time passed by as the Star River Island beneath him expanded at a very slow yet visually noticeable pace.

Now, its size was already ten meters in diameter, covering over a hundred square meters.

It had become a rather moderate place to settle.

Day after day.

Xu Jin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and they knit tighter and tighter.

Emperor Fenghua and True Monarch Seven Kills had mentioned that the later stage of acquiring Heaven and Earth Authority from the Lifebound Star would progress increasingly slowly.

For the last two months, Xu Jin had been performing the Star Killing Skill daily.

Initially, he could obtain one-tenth of Heaven and Earth Authority in a day or two; later, it took five or six days to obtain one-tenth, and the time kept increasing.

The last time he obtained one-tenth of Heaven and Earth Authority, it took as long as nine days.

And what Xu Jin obtained from Lifebound Star Spirit was merely twenty-three percent of Heaven and Earth Authority.

Time flew by, and suddenly, fifteen days had gone by.

Suddenly, the starlight of Xu Jin’s Lifebound Star Spirit trembled slightly, and a point of starlight surged from the ground, flying into the group of Star Halls erected upon it.

Then it flew into a silver-colored Space Star Hall belonging to Xu Jin.

Thus far, the Heaven and Earth Authority bestowed upon the Space Star Hall had already reached six points, equal to the Thunder Hall.

The remaining Star Halls each held two points.

"Fifteen days, it seems the next time will be even longer; I’m afraid it will take several more months to reach the bottleneck of thirty percent in the first stage."

A few moments later, Xu Jin activated the Seven Killings Sword Heart once more, wielding sword after sword to perform the Star Killing Skill.

The Martial World is exciting, but the process of cultivation is quite dull.

This time, however, Xu Jin had only been cultivating for three days before he suddenly opened his eyes — a starlight transmission had arrived on the Thousand Star Token.

Giving it a glance, Xu Jin immediately became alert.

It was a message from his mentor, Emperor Fenghua.

Since Emperor Fenghua said he was going to help Xu Jin connect the Galaxy with an Emperor Weapon to deduce the Great Chaos Spirit Body, four to five months had passed.

Xu Jin once suspected whether Emperor Fenghua had gone off to busy himself with other matters, forgetting about this.

Is the Great Chaos Spirit Body truly so difficult?

Could it actually take Emperor Fenghua half a year to deduce?

But just by taking a single glance at the starlight transmission sent by Emperor Fenghua, warm feelings surged within him, along with a touch of guilt.

His mentor, Emperor Fenghua, indeed had been deducing for half a year.

And during this half-year, he deduced not only the Great Chaos Spirit Body.

The path of Dao is difficult, especially those untrodden by predecessors, which is exceedingly perilous.

The Great Chaos Spirit Body was just an idea from True Monarch You Yu’s research, and You Yu himself had failed.

Thus Emperor Fenghua was exceedingly cautious.

Not only did he deduce the Great Chaos Spirit Body, but he also planned a retreat for Xu Jin in case the cultivation of the Great Chaos Spirit Body would ultimately fail.

Emperor Fenghua sent over the cultivation method for the Great Chaos Spirit Body, but simultaneously, he sent over two retreat options should the cultivation eventually fail.

Should Xu Jin fail to cultivate the Great Chaos Spirit Body at different stages, he could shift to cultivate a secondary-level Spiritual Body.

Although deemed secondary, they’re only weaker than the Great Chaos Spirit Body. Future achievements are still quite promising.

These are the Five Elements Spiritual Body and the Thunder Prison Spirit Body.

This left Xu Jin feeling especially moved.

This mentor seen only through illusions had considered everything thoroughly for him.

He even prepared a retreat plan for him.

[Mentor, thank you for your hard work and great kindness, disciple will forever bear this in mind...]

Though Emperor Fenghua previously said family does not need to act in such a way, Xu Jin could not take it for granted; at the very least, he must express gratitude verbally.

After a round of thanks, Xu Jin proceeded to consult Emperor Fenghua.

The first matter was concerning opportunities relating to Heaven and Earth Authority.

Emperor Fenghua previously mentioned the maximum limit of Middle World’s authority is fifty percent; however, if exceeding fifty percent to reach sixty percent, it would signal a new opportunity.

Presently, Xu Jin had already achieved over sixty-five percent of Heaven and Earth Authority in controlling Kunling Domain.

Yet he hadn’t uncovered any new opportunities. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

[How did you manage to obtain sixty-five percent of Heaven and Earth Authority in Middle World? It’s usually challenging to even achieve fifty percent?] Emperor Fenghua expressed significant doubt.

Xu Jin promptly shared his process of obtaining Heaven and Earth Authority candidly with Emperor Fenghua.

[Exactly, although I can’t physically experience the unique characteristics of your Kunling Domain, based on your description, it seems likely that it’s located precisely where broken Heaven and Earth are restored — a Great Merit in Heaven and Earth.

As a reward, the heavens bestowed one-tenth of Heaven and Earth Authority upon you, which is exceptionally rare.

Moreover, the authority of the several Star Halls you described was initially minimal, only growing to one-fifth over a few thousand years, then shrinking after merging.

Ultimately, it’s you who received this opportunity, young man.

Good fortune!

Equating to acquiring another Lifebound Star!

Typically, most people can have at most one Lifebound Star, but once the Heaven and Earth Authority of a Middle World exceeds sixty percent, it’s tantamount to acquiring another Lifebound Star.

In combat on the native land, you’ll have an overwhelmingly huge advantage.

Yet, after leaving Kunling Domain, during battle, you can evoke it to gain enhancement, increasing your Combat Power, and there are immense benefits.] Emperor Fenghua stated.

Seeing Emperor Fenghua’s message, Xu Jin was delighted.

Another Lifebound Star — this effect was truly too surprising.

Indeed, a stroke of great fortune.

Subsequently, Xu Jin divulged everything about the Summer Key and the decree from Emperor Jidao to Emperor Fenghua, seeking clarification on the issues involved.

Emperor Jidao’s intentions and objectives were unclear to Xu Jin.

But Emperor Fenghua, also an Emperor, had different perspectives and might provide guidance for Xu Jin.

The more Xu Jin understood the truth about Kunling Domain, the more apprehensive he became.

It felt akin to Emperor Jidao’s plan over three millennia being inadvertently seized by him.

One must proceed cautiously.

[This is also the first I’ve heard about it; allow me to further study this matter and consult ancient texts. I’ll inform you when I’ve reached a conclusion.] Emperor Fenghua said.

[Yet again troubling mentor!]

[This is my duty, immanent in my role as a mentor — continue cultivating diligently; with your high sixty-five percent Heaven and Earth Authority, the cultivation speed in that realm remains extremely swift, offering incomparable advantages in cultivation across various aspects. Preferably, once you reach the Eighth Tier, I’ll find an opportunity to bring you over to join the sect for further cultivation.] Emperor Fenghua advised.

[Thank you, mentor, your disciple understands.]

[Yes, cultivate well, I’ll inform you one way or another upon determining the Summer Key and Emperor Jidao’s matter.]

After concluding his exchange with Emperor Fenghua, Xu Jin continued his arduous cultivation.

Yet the arduous cultivation ended within a few days.

For Xu Jin received a starlight transmission sent via the Thousand Star Token from National Master Cheng Yuexiao.

[The wedding date approaches, return swiftly!]
