Chapter 130: Refine Star, Eighth Layer Enemy (First update, please subscribe)

~17 min read 3,358 words

On Fire-Return Mountain in the Fire-Splendor Star Domain, Xu Jin studied the map, thinking about his survival strategy.

The suggestions given by the Grand Master were all correct, and Xu Jin also had his own ideas.

But one cognition was consistent: the higher the cultivation base, the greater the probability of survival.

Overall, there were only two tactics Xu Jin could choose.

One is guerrilla warfare.

Move rapidly, then consume the elite power of the Red Scale clan, while improving himself, and also avoid the elite power of the Red Scale clan from forming a siege around him.

Two is stronghold warfare.

It's called a stronghold, but Xu Jin had nothing to hold; in fact, it was to continue staying on this Fire-Return Mountain, seize the time, and rapidly improve his cultivation.

After studying for a while, Xu Jin decisively chose the second tactic: stronghold warfare.

That is to stay on this Fire-Return Mountain and wait for the Red Scale clan enemies to come and find him.

There are two reasons: First, guerrilla warfare is too time-consuming; once he starts moving rapidly, Xu Jin falls into a war of attrition, because due to the existence of the Red Scale Heart, Xu Jin's location is a beacon in heaven and earth for the Red Scale clan.

No matter how Xu Jin runs, they can adjust their direction in the shortest time and surround Xu Jin.

In that case, Xu Jin would be exhausted from running, and wouldn't have time to improve his cultivation.

Second: for now, this genius who is trapped alone in the Fire-Splendor Star Domain should not have aroused the vigilance of the Red Scale clan.

The strongest encountered so far is Refine Star, Fifth Layer.

Next, those sent to encircle and suppress Xu Jin might be Refine Star, Sixth Layer, and it is even possible that they are Refine Star, Seventh Layer.

But Xu Jin felt that if he used all his trump cards, he could still fight against experts at the Refine Star, Sixth or Seventh Layer.

Instead of being exhausted from running, it's better to sit and guard here and seize the time to improve his cultivation.

After killing one or two waves of enemies, then discuss other things.

Subsequently, Xu Jin took stock of the supplies he carried: five First-Essence Four-Mysteries Star-Restoring Pills, one bottle of First-Essence Three-Origins Star-Returning Pills, one and a half bottles of First-Essence Spirit-Refreshing Pills, three bottles of Star-Replenishing Pills, and two bottles of special effect golden sore medicine.

Regarding Star Power, he shouldn't have to worry.

In this Fire-Splendor Star Domain where the Star Power concentration is three times that of the current world, relying on the characteristics of Xu Jin's Innate Leakless Star Body, as long as he doesn't fall into extreme high-intensity continuous great battles, he won't lack Star Power.

What's more, the dozens of wisps of starlight accumulated on the Arena platform are one of Xu Jin's other big killing moves.

Spirit-Refreshing Pills must be used sparingly.

Thinking about it, Xu Jin took out nine First-Essence Spirit-Refreshing Pills and put them into the Star Lamp to continue nurturing.

If these Spirit-Refreshing Pills could be nurtured to the second or third essence, the recovery effect would increase exponentially.

The last thing to take stock of is food.

Dried meat and clear water, only enough for three days, and there was one day's worth of food left on him.

At the latest in two days, Xu Jin would have to think about finding food.

Star Power cannot be eaten as a meal.

Even for a cultivator, if they don't eat for three or four consecutive days, their state will decline rapidly.

Sinking his mind into the Arena platform, Xu Jin replaced the offered spiritual objects, which were Third-Tier Bear Spirit, Third-Tier Leopard Spirit, and Fourth-Tier Thunder Eel, and the selected protective star patterns were all replaced with main-combat star patterns.

They were the Bear Spirit's Earth-Explosion Star Pattern, the Leopard Spirit's Swift-Lightning Star Pattern, and the Thunder Eel's Thunder-Snake Star Pattern.

The next instant, Xu Jin continued to sit cross-legged on the mountain summit, sinking his mind into the Great Gathering Star Pattern in his Middle Shang Xinggong, urging his Spirit, and continuing to strengthen the Great Gathering star core in his Middle Shang Xinggong.

Xu Jin felt that with his current cultivation speed, in another one or two days, the Great Gathering star core in his Middle Shang Xinggong would be able to break through to the late Forge Star stage.

As for the Lower Shang Xinggong, Xu Jin ignored it for the time being.

Let's cultivate the Middle Shang Xinggong with all his might first.

At the same time, a team composed of six Refine Star Realm elites also set out from the Red Scale Royal Court, sprinting rapidly toward the Fire-Return Mountain where Xu Jin was located.

Chen Guo National Dao Academy Autumn Examination secret realm.

Mountain Chief Dong Zhao of Jinshan Dao Academy and Chief Ning Jiaotou Ning Yuchan had already learned the latest situation from Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao.

Xu Jin was still alive.

And he had already succeeded in Star Forging, and both his Middle and Lower Star Palaces had succeeded in Star Forging; as for the specific Star Forging results, the Grand Master did not tell them.

Currently, all they could do was wait.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the Chen Guo National Dao Academy Autumn Examination secret realm; it was the black-clad Supervisor Chen Liao who had returned, with a murderous look!

Seeing Chen Liao return, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao waved his hand silently; in an instant, the entire Chen Guo National Dao Academy Autumn Examination secret realm, except for the Grand Master, the two Libationers, the four academic officials, and the Chief Ning Jiaotou Yu Da, everyone else was sent away by the Grand Master.

"Old Chen, how is it?" Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao smiled slightly at the black-clad Supervisor Chen Liao, revealing two rows of neat, jade-like white teeth; it looked harmless, but it made people feel inexplicably frightened.

Those who knew Cheng Yuexiao knew that he was angry.

The Grand Master was truly angry this time.

"Grand Master, I have already combed through the relevant information and various communication means of everyone who knew about this matter, and currently, I have found two peak Forge Star Realm disciples with problems." Supervisor Chen Liao said.

"Did you find anything?"

"These two peak Forge Star Realm disciples have very clean family backgrounds. One of them, after receiving the participation notice, when saying goodbye to his newly taken concubine, couldn't bear the concubine's pestering and told the concubine that he was going to the Star Domain to fight.

When we traced it back, the concubine had already disappeared.

This concubine appeared in Dachen Wan Yi half a year ago, and her specific origin is unknown, but we found star pigeon droppings in the concubine's courtyard, but the information ended there." Supervisor Chen Liao said.

"Hmm, what about the other one?"

"The other disciple indeed has a problem; half a year after successfully forging his star, a mysterious person found him, saying that when there was a major action, he should reveal a bit, and gave him five hundred taels of gold every month to support his cultivation; this was the first time he provided information.

Currently, it has been found that the information was transferred three times."

"Hmm, what does that mean?" Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao looked at the Supervisor.

"The information revealed by this disciple flowed into the Star River battlefield area of my Chen Guo after three transfers, and then, it couldn't be traced." Chen Liao said.

"Star River battlefield, my Chen Guo war zone?"

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's pair of long, narrow phoenix eyes narrowed, "Are you saying that the mastermind behind it is one of the Three Kings and Seven Marquises of my Chen Guo?"

"Grand Master, the Chen Guo war zone of the Star River battlefield is indeed the territory of the Three Kings and Seven Marquises, but whether it was instigated by them, I dare not make a rash judgment.

There are too many possibilities in this.

It is possible, but it is also possible that it is not; it is also possible that external forces want to sow discord..."

"Are there any other channels to continue the investigation?" Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao asked.

"Yes, I have already ordered the Spring Rain Division to cooperate with the investigation! If we can find out how that concubine named Lan'er entered Dachen Wan Yi, perhaps we can have further discoveries." Supervisor Chen Liao said.

"Hmm, investigate!"

Supervisor Chen Liao nodded, but Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao said again, "Old Chen, what I mean is, the National Dao Academy Autumn Examination is the foundation of my Chen Guo, and it is the root of my Chen Guo's National Dao Academy! Someone is making trouble here, which is to uproot us, understand?

Investigate to the end!

At all costs!"

Supervisor Chen Liao heard this, stood up solemnly and cupped his fists, "Subordinate accepts the order!"

"Alright, you all disperse; recently, I will be stationed here!

If there is anything, you can come here to find me."

As soon as this was said, several academic officials and the two Libationers looked at each other, a bit surprised; Right Libationer Song Bing said, "Grand Master, you are tied to the entire National Dao Academy, there is no need to be tied here for one disciple.

Here, just find an instructor to keep an eye on it..."

Before he finished speaking, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's murderous gaze made Right Libationer Song Bing shut his mouth sensibly.

"This Xu Jin has already entered the National Dao Academy; he is our student, and even more so our disciple.

Now that he is trapped in the Fire-Splendor Star Domain because of our reasons, it is my responsibility.

Although I cannot help him at the moment.

However, separated by alien domains and in a desperate situation, as long as he can be contacted, I am his last hope!

I don't want him to even have that last bit of hope cut off!

Understand?" Cheng Yuexiao shouted.

"Grand Master is righteous!"

After a series of compliments, the high-level officials of the National Dao Academy left one after another, including Supervisor Chen Liao, leaving only Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao smiling self-deprecatingly there.

"Righteous?"

"Am I really righteous..."

Jinshan Prefecture City, Xu Fu.

Before it was dark, Ning Yuchan arrived at the Xu Fu as agreed.

Because she knew Ning Yuchan was coming, Jiang Er would prepare meals every day and eat with Ning Yuchan.

But today, whether it was Jiang Er or Old Man Xu Dajiang, they were somewhat absent-minded while eating.

In the end, it was Jiang Er who took the initiative to speak, "Sister Yuchan, I heard that the disciples of the Dao Academy who participated in the Autumn Examination have all successfully forged their stars; why hasn't my brother returned? Did he fail his Star Forging and couldn't come back?" As soon as this was said, Xu Dajiang also looked at Ning Yuchan nervously, urgently wanting to know the answer.

"Who did you hear that from?"

Ning Yuchan gave Jiang Er a flick on the forehead, "Your brother is doing just fine! I can definitely tell you that your brother has already succeeded in Star Forging, and has forged at least a high-grade star core, and it's a dual star palace!"

"Really, that's great!"

After Jiang Er laughed, she worried again, "Then Sister Yuchan, why hasn't my brother returned? Brother Lu and the others have been back for almost two days."

Ning Yuchan looked at the nervous Jiang Er and thought for a while before answering, "You know that your brother is the first in Chen Guo's National Dao Academy Autumn Examination, right?"

"I know."

"The first in the entire Chen Guo, understand? That has a bit of a different treatment, isn't that normal?

The Grand Master has already told us that he arranged for Xu Jin to continue bitter cultivation and needs key training, which will take a month or two." Ning Yuchan said.

"Hey, this child, asking east and west, Chief Ning Jiaotou Ning said so, you should believe it now!" Xu Dajiang's expression was obviously relaxed, "You eat, you eat, I'll go for a walk."

"Hmph, Sister Yuchan, Dad urged me to ask you ten times a day before, and now he's scolding me!" Jiang Er directly pouted.

"You, this little mouth could hang an oil bottle, eat quickly." Ning Yuchan smiled, but there was deep worry in her eyes.

Trapped in the Fire-Splendor Star Domain, I wonder if Xu Jin can hold on for three months?

After the meal, Ning Yuchan chatted and laughed while taking Jiang Er to the backyard to continue nurturing the Middle Shang Xinggong for Jiang Er.

Although Xu Jin was not there, she had to complete this matter.

August 11th, Fire-Splendor Star Domain, Fire-Return Mountain.

Xu Jin looked at the scorching sun hanging high, drank two mouthfuls of clear water, changed to a shaded place, and prepared to continue cultivating.

His strategy was correct.

He had already cultivated bitterly for a day and a night, and no enemies had come to disturb him.

Perhaps because he was trapped in a desperate domain, with nothing to distract him, his cultivation efficiency was extremely high.

Inside the Middle Shang Xinggong, the Great Gathering star core condensed a few more points; Xu Jin felt that in at most half a day, his cultivation base would be able to break through to the late Forge Star stage!

It has to be said that this Fire-Splendor Star Domain, where the Star Power is three times that of the current world, is truly a holy land for cultivation.

Eating the last two pieces of dried meat, Xu Jin prepared to continue cultivating.

Suddenly, Xu Jin's eyes moved.

At the foot of the mountain, there were already six tall human figures, starting to climb the mountain.

When Xu Jin looked over, Chi Mu suddenly felt something and also looked up at Xu Jin on the summit.

"How bold, still staying in place!" Chi Mu sneered, ordering, "Kill! The one who makes the first contribution will be rewarded with ten jade tablets!"

The next instant, red light erupted from Chi Mu's body, and he also rushed toward the summit.

Six people, in a fan shape, surrounded the summit from the foot of the mountain.

Too far, the Bright Era Star Pattern cultivation base was not enough, and he couldn't sense the cultivation base clearly.

But from the strength of the erupting starlight and the distance they swept when their Star Power erupted, Xu Jin could roughly judge that these six people were all experts at the Refine Star Realm.

"Six Refine Star Realm experts, you really think highly of me."

The next instant, Xu Jin moved.

Xu Jin did not meet them head-on, but rushed straight in another direction.

He must obtain strategic time.

If it were six Forge Star Realm, with Xu Jin's current strength, one against six, he wouldn't have too much pressure.

But Refine Star Realm is different.

Especially Refine Star Realm experts; for every layer higher in cultivation base, they can inscribe one more star pattern, and their strength may undergo earth-shaking improvement.

So he must be careful and more careful.

Seeing Xu Jin start to flee, the six Refine Star Realm experts immediately changed direction.

A minute later, Xu Jin fled, six people chased, forming a straight line.

The one closest to Xu Jin was a Refine Star, Sixth Layer Red Scale warrior, two hundred meters away from Xu Jin.

There was also a Refine Star, Fifth Layer, a Refine Star, Fourth Layer, about a thousand meters away from Xu Jin.

The strategic time was at most ten seconds.

And what Xu Jin feared most was the Refine Star, Eighth Layer Chi Mu.

It was precisely because Xu Jin discovered that there was a Refine Star, Eighth Layer existence among the Red Scale clan surrounding him that he changed his tactics.

Under Xu Jin's deliberate control, the distance between the first Refine Star, Sixth Layer and Xu Jin was rapidly closing.

The next instant, Xu Jin turned around instantly, Flying Star Steps exploded.

The two were equivalent to sprinting toward each other.

In an instant, the distance of one hundred and fifty meters was closed to less than twenty meters.

Xu Jin's mind moved, and a star arrow blasted toward him instantly.

Watching Xu Jin, a mid-Forge Star, actually dare to turn around and attack, this Refine Star, Sixth Layer Red Scale warrior had a look of contempt!

The gap in strength was too big!

As for the star arrow attack, he didn't take it to heart at all; with a casual wave, he could wave it away.

Flames appeared on his palm, and this Refine Star, Sixth Layer Red Scale warrior casually blasted toward the star arrow Xu Jin blasted over.

But the expected easy shattering did not appear.

Suddenly, this Refine Star, Sixth Layer Red Scale warrior felt sharp pain in his palm.

The moment he looked in astonishment, he saw that the star arrow suddenly exploded with starlight, and his palm and arm, under the explosion of this starlight, were directly blasted into meat paste.

Then this starlight blasted onto his physical body without any obstruction, blasting his crimson armor to pieces, and directly blasting away half of his chest.

His consciousness instantly fell into darkness.

Before his consciousness fell into darkness, he only had one thought: "Where did such a strong star arrow come from?"

This star arrow, in order to kill the enemy in one strike, Xu Jin directly mobilized thirty percent of the Star Power of the Middle Shang Xinggong, killing this Refine Star, Sixth Layer instantly.

Among the six Refine Star Realm Red Scale warriors surrounding Xu Jin this time, there was one Refine Star, Eighth Layer, two Refine Star, Sixth Layer, one Refine Star, Fifth Layer, and two Refine Star, Fourth Layer.

The most threatening were the three Red Scale warriors at Refine Star, Eighth and Sixth Layer.

So for the first strike, in order to succeed in one strike, Xu Jin directly injected thirty percent of his Star Power.

"Too much, wasted, twenty-five percent would have been enough."

While Xu Jin sighed in regret, he directly swallowed a First-Essence Three-Origins Star-Returning Pill.

After Star Forging, Xu Jin's Star Power surged; even a First-Essence Three-Origins Star-Returning Pill could only restore less than ten percent of Xu Jin's Star Power.

Without any accident, Xu Jin instantly killed a Refine Star, Sixth Layer with one strike, causing the remaining five to pause their steps simultaneously, their feet slowing down.

This combat power was too scary!

Is this still mid-Forge Star?

Tactics must be changed.

Otherwise, Xu Jin could instantly kill Refine Star, Sixth Layer, so most of them going up would be sending food.

So they subconsciously looked at the leader Chi Mu, the Refine Star, Eighth Layer Chi Mu.

Chi Mu was also very surprised.

But besides surprise, he instantly realized, genius.

This young man before him was absolutely a peerless genius of Chen Guo!

Capture alive!

Must capture alive!

As long as he pried his mouth open, there would absolutely be a huge harvest, and he could even harvest Chen Guo's secret star patterns.

But it was at this moment of their fear that Xu Jin moved again.

Flying Star Steps exploded, and another star arrow blasted toward the next one, the Refine Star, Fifth Layer Red Scale warrior closest to Xu Jin.

This time, this Red Scale warrior instinctively wanted to flee. 【

But suddenly, the mud beneath his feet grew as if it were vines, forcefully dragging him down just as he wanted to flee.

Earth Explosion Technique!

By the time he broke free, the Star Arrow had already crashed down.

Headshot!

Instant kill!

Another twenty-five percent of the Star Qi in his Middle Shang Xinggong had been consumed.

There were still four enemies left!
