Chapter 129: Two Paths (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_3 ******\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the summit of Fire Return Mountain in the Fire Radiant Star Domain, Xu Jin watched the sky in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago, a spectacular, fantasy-like spectacle had played out in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin could swear that even the most top-notch movie effects from his previous life couldn’t match what he had just seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so majestic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if the entire sky of the Star Domain was moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tremendous column of Star Power light continuously bombarded the sky until the Star Gate emerged, and then it began bombarding the Star Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, countless ripples of Star Power surged down from beyond the sky, pouring into the Star Gate, sustaining its stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation lasted for a full 15 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the light column assaulting the Star Gate vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by then, the Star Gate was riddled with cracks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, it hadn’t shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had a premonition that if the Star Gate broke, he probably wouldn’t be able to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of unease emerged in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just two two-hours earlier, Xu Jin had just finished off a group of Red Scale Clan experts from the Star Refining Realm, with the strongest among them at the Fifth Layer of Star Refining Realm, which gave Xu Jin a bit of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, after wiping out a wave of alien race, one could safely cultivate for at least six two-hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had only been cultivating for barely over two two-hours when the anomaly occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There must be some big event I’m unaware of!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Jin pondered, he suddenly made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since something significant had happened, it was better to return early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s those who ride the waves who perish beneath them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Safety first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in this alien Star Domain, far removed from the current world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Xu Jin immediately crushed the return Jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still in the same place!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The return Jade had failed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this mean he couldn’t return?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Xu Jin grew anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could accept being thrust into the current era,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being trapped in a Second-tier Fire Radiant Star Domain in the next life was something he truly could not accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident that this was likely a lower-tier or even a broken small world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the cultivation upper limit of the natives wouldn’t be stuck at the Ninth Layer Peak of the Star Refining Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a world full of scale-armored aliens and without a trace of green, even if Xu Jin became a king, there would be no pleasure in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the question was, how could he return?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After trying, the only possible means of communicating with the outside world, the Star-picking Order, also showed no response!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, a Star Casting journey, and it turns into ‘Robinson Crusoe’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Calm down, I must stay calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Da Chen National Daoist Institute is bound to do something!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xu Jin kept reassuring himself, his Star-picking Order suddenly trembled, and he was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star-picking Order was effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But holding the Star-picking Order, he couldn’t enter the Star-picking Tower Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, a line of information appeared on Xu Jin’s Star-picking Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immerse your mind in the Star-picking Order to communicate with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am Cheng Yuxiao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin’s gaze paused, “State Preceptor, can you tell me what has happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw starlight attacking the sky, then the Star Gate appeared, and now the Star Gate is riddled with cracks but hasn’t shattered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should I do next?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can I return?” Xu Jin sent a series of crucial questions as he immersed his thoughts in the Star-picking Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When contacting for rescue, one should avoid letting emotions waste precious time and must ask the most substantial questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Fire Radiant Star Domain has undergone a rebellion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the Star Gate is severely damaged, and repairs will take at least three months.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three months, what can I do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can I return?” Xu Jin bitterly smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two paths,” the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please enlighten me, State Preceptor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is your current Cultivation Level, and how is your Star Casting?” State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao asked, not rushing to respond but instead inquiring about Xu Jin’s status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“State Preceptor, I have two inches six at the Central Star Palace and two inches three at the Lower Star Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My cultivation hasn’t improved much, just reaching the Middle Period of Star Casting at the Central Star Palace.” After thinking, Xu Jin gave a remarkable response!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two inches six, Top-Grade Star Core?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bad, not bad.” The first statement by the State Preceptor was astonishment, but he smoothly transitioned into admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xu Jin slightly relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strategy was effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this enemy territory situation, one wrong move could lead to abandonment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, it boiled down to a cost-benefit problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many times, if the cost of rescue is exorbitantly high or terrifying, one would choose to abandon the rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is human nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the rule!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If saving one person necessitates five others to lose their lives, then what choice remains?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin wasn’t aware of what price Da Chen would have to pay to rescue him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing Xu Jin could do was to enhance his value in the minds of the officials in Da Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had considered revealing his true Star Casting data directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A three inches one Star Casting at the Central Star Palace and three inches at the Lower Star Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin personally called this the Super Rank Star Core, much stronger than the Top-Grade Star Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Jin didn’t dare mention it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t about playing safe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, what was there to play safe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preserving life was paramount, and showing his value to stay alive was crucial!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Jin thought of another possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he revealed his true Star Casting data, would the officials of Da Chen National Daoist School think he was speaking nonsense to elevate his rescue value just to save his life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you could say, this possibility was quite high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because as far as Xu Jin knew, in the history of the Da Chen National Daoist School, not to mention a Super Rank Star Core like Xu Jin’s, even those geniuses who achieved a Top-Grade Star Core were exceedingly rare, emerging perhaps once in more than a decade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, showing only the value of the Top-Grade Star Core was the safest approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite simply, Xu Jin was the top scorer in this session’s autumn exam, obtaining the most ordinary Star Casting Pills and Top-Grade Star Casting Pills among all disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>",1137,"2026-06-03T07:35:47.821Z",1,"novelbin.me","28e0b5167b58aacf02bcfa2a543e96f4d4c76481255582a442874d6e7a71cd1f","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-241","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-239",1647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-cover.jpg"]
