from the Teacher Star Patterns of the Fifth Tier and above that Xu Jin was currently able to learn were listed by the National Master Cheng Yuxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, all the Star Patterns that Xu Jin had learned so far were included in the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Gathering Star Pattern, Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern, Spiral Star Pattern, Meteor Star Pattern, Blast Flame Star Pattern, and Star Transformation Star Pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, National Master Cheng Yuxiao provided Xu Jin with two special Star Patterns that he could learn anew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thorny Star Pattern and the Swimming Fish Star Pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of these special Star Patterns could increase defense to a certain extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Thorny Star Pattern would enhance some defensive power while rebounding Star Power, whereas the Swimming Fish Star Pattern was a very clever Star Pattern for dissipating force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If mastered, no matter what kind of Star Power attack one faced, it was possible to deflect a portion of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xu Jin chose to learn, he could learn up to the Swimming Fish Star Pattern in the Fifth Tier Middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Swimming Fish Star Pattern in the Fifth Tier Middle could deflect two and a half tenths of the attacking Star Power, which was considered a rather strong defensive measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“National Master, I have a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Teacher Liu Qingzhu mentioned that the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern was exclusively owned by the Ji Family of Wanyi in the entire Dachen, with only them having the Fifth Tier’s Mid-tier Fire Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do you also have it?” Xu Jin asked his first question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu Qingzhu is indeed a good teacher, but she doesn’t major in Fire Series Star Skills, so there are some things she has not come across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many years ago, the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern of the Fifth Tier possessed by the Ji Family truly was the strongest Mid-tier Fire Origin in Dachen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Ji Family is just one clan, and the resources it controls are ultimately a bit lacking compared to the National Taoist Institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, although the Ji Family is powerful, they are still subjects of Dachen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, over a decade ago, I secretly made a deal with the Ji Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the National Taoist Institute naturally obtained an even stronger Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to learn the Fifth Tier’s Fire Origin Star Pattern, there are quite a few requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the entire National Taoist Institute, not many have learned it, and naturally, there are very, very few who are aware of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, every disciple who learns a Star Pattern of the Fifth Tier and above from the National Taoist Institute has to accept the binding imprint of Nine Bright Chime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nine Bright Chime?” Xu Jin was somewhat puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the National Artifact of Dachen Country!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is also our Dachen’s National Guardian Star Artifact.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, National Master Cheng Yuxiao flicked his finger, and suddenly a small chime of cyan and gold appeared between his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were nine small bells on the chime, each giving Xu Jin a different feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were very cute, akin to dolls, others exuded a ferocious aura at a glance, and upon looking at the ninth bell, Xu Jin felt as if he were about to get sucked in, his world spinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his sleeve, the National Master made all the anomalies disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that you’ve asked, let me take this opportunity to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you choose to learn a Star Pattern of the Fifth Tier or above from the National Taoist Institute, you will have to be sealed by the Nine Bright Chime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this seal will have no effect on you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the seal is placed, the Star Patterns you learn from the National Taoist Institute cannot be displayed to anyone in any form without rank-based permission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can use the Star Patterns you learn and engrave them yourself, but you cannot replicate them for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is mainly to prevent leakage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, when you reach a certain rank in the National Taoist Institute, you will then have the freedom to teach others,” explained Cheng Yuxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Cheng Yuxiao asked, “Xu Jin, are you willing to accept the seal of the Nine Bright Chime?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you are, then once sealed, you can learn the Star Patterns of the Fifth Tier and above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I’m willing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this seal, the mid-high-tier Star Patterns from the National Taoist Institute cannot be leaked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>National Master, do the other Star Halls have similar Star Artifacts or secret methods?” Xu Jin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They all have them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they don’t, they would exert the nation’s strength to create one, because leaking just one would be tantamount to aiding the enemy, resulting in great losses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yuxiao’s words somewhat disappointed Xu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had previously thought about capturing disciples from the Star Hall to obtain cherished Star Patterns from them, but it seemed this method could be abandoned; he would not have to consider it any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the next addition from the National Master made Xu Jin’s heart stir again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It can indeed prevent leakage, but it is not absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some secret techniques, such as the high-tier Soul Searching Secret Technique, can still get through,” said National Master Cheng Yuxiao, “However, those who can master and use the high-tier Soul Searching Secret Technique are extremely rare, and you don’t have to worry too much about that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you’re willing, then I shall proceed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the National Master took out the Nine Bright Chime and gently flicked the first cyan bell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the clear chime sounded, a cyan light wave surged out from the bell, then entered into Xu Jin’s Upper Star Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Xu Jin’s Upper Star Palace, ripples of cyan light passed through and then vanished as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Mingji Star Pattern sensitively felt as if something elusive had been added within the Upper Star Palace, binding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“National Master, I would like to know which Star Patterns here have versions above the Sixth Tier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are there any above the Seventh Tier?” Xu Jin asked such a question because of the so-called ‘inference upper limit’ mentioned by the National Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the National Master said it was for Xu Jin to choose a Star Pattern to learn to his full potential, Xu Jin must ensure to learn a Star Pattern of the Sixth Tier or even higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it would be a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had many questions, but National Master Cheng Yuxiao was not bothered and answered each one in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First was the issue of Seventh Tier Star Patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Single Seventh Tier Star Patterns had to be comprehended individually; uniformly teachable single Seventh Tier Star Patterns were extremely rare.\u003C\u002Fp>",1153,"2026-06-03T07:35:47.821Z",1,"novelbin.me","4b2dafdd15afb122049fb64fcb45b0fbe482fe969c44cab3f08425d45d84a9f0","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-398","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-396",1647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-cover.jpg"]
