Chapter 141: The Blood Star Covenant (Please Subscribe)

【Have you not broken through to the Star Forging Realm yet? This is too slow, isn't it?】

【It seems that I won't see you in the second-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm. I will wait for you in the third-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.】

【You have to work hard, otherwise in the third-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, you will only be crushed by me.】

Three consecutive starlight transmissions, all from Zuiyue Xianzi Zuiyue.

Xu Jin could only say that this woman was really rich.

Things that could be finished in one starlight transmission were used in three starlight transmissions, just like chatting.

He originally wanted to read it and not reply, but thinking of the huge amount of starlight this rich woman had sent him directly before, he still had to reply.

【You just wait, it's not certain who will crush whom yet.】

Xu Jin replied, also making a slight joke. He didn't know if this Zuiyue Xianzi Zuiyue could see it?

A few breaths later, Zuiyue Xianzi Zuiyue's response came.

【You just brag. The Refine Star Realm is very different from the Meal of Mist Realm. Hurry up and cultivate, I'm waiting to crush you and take revenge.】

Sure enough, Zuiyue Xianzi Zuiyue, who could directly send him a huge sum of two hundred starlight as a stranger, was a bit overly pure; she couldn't even see this.

She shouldn't be a "tea" (a slang for a manipulative person), right?

But Xu Jin thought about it, being a "tea" and being pure in thought were two different things.

This time, Xu Jin didn't reply again, but entered the second-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, first looking at the ranking list of the second-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

【Qi Tian Da Sheng: Star Forging Realm】

【Title: Pingye Starlight】

【Starlight: 443 wisps】

【Points: Zero】

【Ranking: 1214567】

According to this ranking, compared to the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, the number of people was much smaller, only a little over 1.2 million, which was only one-third of the 3 million plus in the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

But it was also normal. In the current world's cultivation system, although the Star Forging Realm was a major realm singled out, it was a transitional realm.

Geniuses, especially top geniuses, basically crossed this realm in ten days or half a month and entered the third-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

Xu Jin searched around in the top hundred or even top thousand of the second-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm ranking list and didn't find any acquaintances.

The first place in the previous first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, Ta Xinghe, whom he had always wanted to fight, was not there.

The second place, Yue Zhongying, who defeated Xu Jin in one battle and broke through without giving Xu Jin any chance to get back at him, was also not there.

Bu Ke Er Er, who had been abused by Xu Jin for a long time, was also not there.

The human sparring partner and little rich woman Zuiyue Xianzi Zuiyue was also not there.

They should have all broken through to the Refine Star Realm, and they had already entered the third-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm to fight.

Thinking about it, this was normal.

Except for Ta Xinghe and Yue Zhongying, Xu Jin had swept the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm back then, so there was no need to talk about his strength.

Now, several direct disciples whose strength was inferior to Xu Jin had broken through to the Refine Star Realm, so it was a normal thing for these top geniuses to break through to the Refine Star Realm.

Xu Jin estimated that he should also be able to break through to the Refine Star Realm in a short time.

But since he was here, he had to fight a few battles.

Especially since Xu Jin had a stingy little thought: the top three in the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm gave him the title of Pingye Starlight, which allowed him to get the benefit of sending a free starlight transmission every day. So, did the second-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm have the same title reward?

If there was, he had to win it.

The benefit of one free starlight transmission per day was equivalent to one wisp of starlight per day. Three hundred sixty-five days a year, that was three hundred sixty-five wisps. Converted into silver, it was at least thirty thousand plus.

Accumulating for ten years, that definitely had the posture of the richest person in a prefecture.

Subsequently, Xu Jin began to challenge.

There was no suspense, winning battle after battle.

After ten consecutive victories, Xu Jin's ranking had already rushed into the top one hundred thousand.

But Xu Jin didn't end the challenge, but continued.

As Xu Jin's cultivation broke through to the Star Forging Realm, the upper limit of actual combat times in the Practice Arena Secret Realm should also have increased.

Xu Jin had already learned that geniuses like the Star Forging Realm, especially geniuses who had taken the Ding Shen Golden Pill, could fight at least eight battles in the second-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, and some could fight ten or more.

Converted, Xu Jin had not only taken the Ding Shen Golden Pill, but also had the Spirit Refining Golden Pill reward, and the second-tier Spirit Soul Pill reward, and when he climbed the Heaven-Ascending Staircase, he was even the first.

Adding these up, it was very reasonable for Xu Jin to fight fifteen consecutive battles in one day in the second and third-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

It made sense everywhere.

In the second and third-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, the upper limit of consecutive battles was fifteen.

Xu Jin kept pace with the times and changed his safety upper limit.

He fought five more battles.

There was still no suspense.

The ranking had already killed into the top fifty thousand.

Moreover, Xu Jin didn't have much expectation for the upcoming battles.

The battles in the second-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm shouldn't have any suspense; they were all consecutive victories.

Even if Yue Zhongying came again, Xu Jin had an eighty percent certainty of defeating him.

The reason was very simple. Compared to the Meal of Mist Realm, the main change in the Star Forging Realm was Star Forging, where star power and star quantity increased exponentially, while other aspects didn't change at all.

Since Xu Jin could sweep in the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, he could also sweep in the second-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

Because the change in the total amount of star power was mainly the difference in Star Forging.

Forging a supreme star core was already a peerless genius, so for Xu Jin, who forged a super-grade star core, there was no need to talk about the advantage in star power.

Not to mention that Xu Jin was now at the peak of Star Forging in both star palaces.

The subsequent battles in the second-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm wouldn't have any suspense.

Xu Jin estimated that under the limit of fifteen consecutive battles, he would be able to get the first place in the second-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm by tomorrow night, at the latest the night after tomorrow.

After exiting the Star Picking Tower, Xu Jin had to do his morning and evening cultivation lessons every day.

It was just that there was no cultivation method to break through to the Refine Star Realm recently, so Xu Jin could only liver star patterns in the star lamp.

However, before livering star patterns, Xu Jin took out that second-tier Spirit Soul Pearl.

This thing, even the Grand Master said that once the news leaked, it would trigger a bloody storm in the martial arts world.

It was better to use it sooner.

Otherwise, Jiang Er was eating wind and drinking dew on the roof every day, and her skin was wrinkled from blowing.

In the evening, Jiang Er came over to warm and nourish Jiang Er's middle star palace, and left after an hour and a half, but after leaving, she circled around and came back, guarding on the roof of Jiang Er's room.

Jiang Er thought Xu Jin didn't know, but Xu Jin's Bright-Tracing Star Pattern perceived it clearly.

The next instant, Xu Jin calmed his mind and guarded his spirit, held this second-tier Spirit Soul Pearl with one hand, the Spirit Soul Star in his upper star palace began to rotate, and at the same time, he probed a wisp of Spirit Soul power to draw from the Spirit Soul Pearl.

The next moment, extremely pure Spirit Soul power surged out from the Spirit Soul Pearl and quickly rushed towards Xu Jin's Spirit Soul Star.

Almost at the same time, the sixth-layer star halo, which was only a prototype on Xu Jin's Spirit Soul Star, was quickly supplemented and perfected.

A quarter of an hour later, the sixth-layer star halo of Xu Jin's Spirit Soul Star was as brilliant as a star river, surrounding Xu Jin's Spirit Soul Star, slowly rotating.

Spirit Soul Star, peak of Refine Star sixth layer.

Dozens of breaths later, when the last wisp of Spirit Soul power of the second-tier Spirit Soul Pearl rushed in, a circle of wispy star halos had already condensed on the periphery of Xu Jin's Spirit Soul Star, but it was very faint. Spirit Soul Star, early Refine Star seventh layer.

At the same instant, the second-tier Spirit Soul Pearl became clean and turned into a soft, collapsed skin sac.

It was a bit like the inner skin of an eggshell, but it was much thicker.

Xu Jin didn't throw it away, but found a separate bag to save it.

This was what Academy Head Dong Zhao had instructed.

Any item capable of containing and storing Spirit Soul power was extremely rare and could be called a treasure, so it had to be kept.

And after absorbing this second-tier Spirit Soul Pearl, Xu Jin was also certain that the Baidou Divine Sect was involved in the Fire Xuan Star Domain matter.

Nothing else—the Spirit Soul power contained in this second-tier Spirit Soul Pearl was too similar to the Spirit Soul power Xu Jin had absorbed behind that Baidou Divine Sect statue on Qianye Island last time.

It was almost exactly the same.

In this world, there were not many organizations capable of collecting large amounts of Spirit Soul power, and the Lingji Shang Xinggong and the Baidou Divine Sect happened to be two of them.

"Tomorrow, I should be able to engrave the Wenmeng star pattern."

Among the three Spirit Soul star patterns, the progress of the Wenmeng star pattern was the fastest.

The reason was very simple. The Wenmeng star pattern was only fourth-tier low-grade, while the complexity of the Posha and Zhenyi star patterns of the Lingji Shang Xinggong was nearly twice that of the Wenmeng star pattern.

August 22nd.

Xu Jin was having a final argument with his old man Xu Dajiang. The protagonist of the argument was the two thousand taels of silver Xu Jin wanted to leave behind.

"Dad, you keep this silver. You are alone here, keep more silver on you, otherwise we won't be at ease?" Xu Dajiang didn't accept it, and Xu Jin was a bit anxious.

"What do I keep silver for?"

Xu Dajiang directly stuffed the silver notes to Jiang Er. "Poor family, rich road! You take all the silver, I don't need it."

"Your dad, I have a salary now, five taels of silver a month. There are also over a hundred mu of good fields at home, and three storefronts. I can't even finish eating big fish and meat every day."

"No, Dad..."

"Wings are hard and you don't listen, right?"

"Take it if I tell you to. You leave me so much silver, isn't it just that thieves will covet it? Won't those widows and big wives covet it to death?"

Xu Jin: "..."

Half an hour later, Jin Shan Dao Academy, the new Academy Head Cao Chun, Vice Academy Head Feng Shu, Commandant Tian Zhang, and others watched Dong Zhao, Jiang Er, Xu Jin, and Xu Jiang board this small star boat, and they all arched their hands to bid farewell!

As Dong Zhao controlled the star boat to take off, in an instant, it flew into the clouds and disappeared.

After Xu Dajiang greeted Cao Chun and the others one by one, he went home, changed into his official uniform, and with two personal guards, went straight back to Xu Family Village.

Before entering Xu Family Village, the village head and clan elders who had received the news came out to welcome him.

Every household had people coming to welcome him, and the small wine was one scene after another.

In the current world, besides the Barbarians, there were three countries, which could be called the tripartite confrontation of the three countries: Da Chen, Da Chu, and Emperor Da Hong.

In terms of territory, Da Chen was originally the largest, and it also worshipped the Lingji Shang Xinggong, one of the original four major star palaces.

But twenty years ago, the Lingji Shang Xinggong was besieged and locked by the two major star palaces, Tianyang and Cangming, and removed from the name. Overnight, the Lingji Shang Xinggong, which was spread all over the Chen territory, disappeared.

The former Grand Master and original Da Chen National Dao Academy President Pei Gang died for his country, forcing the masters of the two major star palaces to make a Blood Star Covenant.

No one knew the specific content of the Blood Star Covenant.

But since that day, the masters of the Tianyang Shang Xinggong and the Cangming Shang Xinggong left at the same time, and subsequently, the two major empires of Da Chu and Emperor Da Hong withdrew their troops one after another.

The crisis of Da Chen's destruction caused by the locking of the Lingji Shang Xinggong was thus resolved.

But afterwards, Da Chen also paid a lot of price.

Da Chen originally had the land of eight prefectures and one city. In the end, it ceded the two major border prefectures to Da Chu and Emperor Da Hong respectively.

The Tianyang Shang Xinggong and the Cangming Shang Xinggong also moved into Da Chen at that time.

The matter of selecting the best also started from that time.

And the new Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao also took office twenty years ago, working hard to change Da Chen's decline, but it was quite difficult.

Inside the star boat, Xu Jin was like a curious baby, asking many questions.

Jiang Er and Dong Zhao also knew everything and said everything, letting Xu Jin understand a lot.

Jiang Er, on the other hand, blinked her big eyes, listening to what she could understand, and listening to what she couldn't understand.

Da Chen's official system, civil and martial are of the same rank. Whether it is the imperial court or the National Dao Academy, they use the same rank system.

Nine-rank system.

Starting from the ninth rank and ending at the first rank, there are a total of nine ranks and eighteen tiers. Above the first rank, there are super ranks. Super ranks are a bit complicated. High ranks are combined with titles, which are super ranks. Titles have six levels: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron, and King.

However, the promotion in the imperial court and the promotion in the National Dao Academy are not exactly the same.

Promotion in the imperial court mainly depends on performance reviews, but promotion in the National Dao Academy is linked to strength in addition to performance reviews.

It is precisely because of this that Dao Academy disciples will be appointed one rank higher.

As long as you join the Dao Academy's Star Patrol Guard, you are actually an official. You are already at the ninth rank, and the Star Patrol Guard team leader is the ninth rank.

And the deputy flag leader of the Star Patrol Guard is the eighth rank.

Like Jiang Er's position as the chief instructor, the rank is the seventh rank. This performance review was promoted by one rank, to the sixth rank.

The rank of the Academy Head in the Dao Academy is high. Originally, the position of Academy Head belongs to the fifth rank within the Dao Academy. A normal promotion, even if it is a jump of two levels, would only jump to the position of Vice President of the Prefecture Dao Academy, the fourth rank.

But now, because of Xu Jin, it is a three-level jump.

Originally, according to the meaning of the National Dao Academy, Academy Head Dong Zhao could directly succeed as the President of the Yan Prefecture Dao Academy, holding one side alone.

However, Academy Head Dong Zhao chose to return to the National Dao Academy, giving up the opportunity to hold one side alone that others would break their heads to grab.

It is worth mentioning that the original President of the Yan Prefecture Dao Academy, Lu Chenfeng, had a C-minus performance review in the autumn exam, was directly demoted by one rank, and then sent to the Star River Battlefield to serve!

Must restore the original rank on the Star River Battlefield and make three or more great contributions before returning!

This punishment is considered extremely heavy.

It is not difficult for Lu Chenfeng to serve on the Star River Battlefield to restore his original rank. The Star River Battlefield has rich merits. Even if he just grinds time, grinding for three to five years, he can restore his rank.

But making three great contributions is different.

This is something that can only be obtained by mustering to the front line to fight and kill enemy chieftains and barbarians.

If he is lucky, one or two years, or ten or eight years; if he is unlucky, he will stay on the Star River Battlefield forever.

Overall, regardless of the Da Chen imperial court, under the hard work of Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, the Da Chen National Dao Academy has clear rewards and punishments and is still flourishing!

Along the way, they chatted happily and looked happily.

The star boat flew at an altitude of about two thousand meters. Looking down at the Da Chen mountains and rivers from high altitude, it was still very magnificent.

Jiang Er, who had never been far away, was excited with a flushed face because it was her first time going far away and she was treated to a star boat.

Two and a half hours later, when the star boat entered the sky above a plain area surrounded by mountains on three sides and began to accept wave after wave of inspections by fifth-tier experts, it also represented that the destination, Wan Yi, the capital of Da Chen, had arrived.

At noon on August 22nd, Xu Jin and his party landed directly on a huge platform full of flying boats.

Da Chen National Dao Academy, arrived!

"Xu Jin, the first thing to report is to go to the Foreign Affairs Hall to change the token," Academy Head Dong Zhao reminded.

Just as Xu Jin nodded, suddenly, the Star Picking Token shook slightly. The moment Xu Jin's mind sank into seeing the person sending the message, he was instantly overjoyed.

Old Qi's starlight transmission finally arrived!
