Chapter 290: Surprises One After Another

The "Blood God Continued-Limb Great Method" was one of the many secret methods of the Blood God Sect. After successful cultivation, one could arbitrarily reconnect severed limbs, or even regrow severed limbs.

However, regrowing severed limbs or reconnecting severed limbs was only one of the important functions of this secret method; the most important function of this secret method was to win with trickery in battle.

This "Blood God Continued-Limb Great Method Cultivation Insights" recorded that after successful cultivation, in actual combat, one could be beheaded by an enemy and feign a miserable death, then launch a surprise attack to kill the enemy when they approached; the winning rate was extremely high when taking them by surprise.

In actual combat, one could abandon any limb or even vital parts to paralyze the enemy and obtain the opportunity to win.

If this Blood God Continued-Limb Great Method was cultivated to completion, one could even feign being beheaded by a blade.

In most people's thinking, if one was beheaded, one must be dead.

But as long as you approach the head or limbs, you will definitely be ambushed.

After slaying the enemy, the Blood God Continued-Limb Great Method could even reattach the head.

This made Xu Jin look on in extreme horror.

In the TV dramas he watched in his previous life, Shen Gongbao's "Head come, head come" was the most mysterious scene from his childhood.

Can a head grow back after being dropped?

Is he really a god?

He didn't expect to see it here in the secret methods of the Blood God Sect.

If the head drops, it can really grow back.

In an instant, Xu Jin warned himself that in the future, whether fighting against the Blood God Sect or other experts, after such things as beheading, he must make a follow-up strike!

Follow-up strike!

Follow-up strike!

This was Xu Jin's warning to himself.

But what Xu Jin cared about most was the function of regrowing severed limbs in the Blood God Continued-Limb Great Method.

If he could obtain the Blood God Continued-Limb Great Method, could Ning Ning Yuchan's legs be cured?

Then could Ying Ge, who had been severed of two legs and one arm, leaving only his upper body and one arm, also be restored to his original state?

What Xu Jin wanted to know most now was the cultivation requirements or cultivation methods of this Blood God Continued-Limb Great Method.

He hoped it wouldn't be impossible to achieve.

Unfortunately, this jade gui only recorded the cultivation insights of the Blood God Continued-Limb Great Method, and as for the cultivation method, it only mentioned a few words in the cultivation insights and did not have a complete cultivation method.

He didn't know if the remaining two blood-colored jade guis reinforced with seals contained the Blood God Continued-Limb Great Method?

It seemed that Xu Jin would have to pay special attention to the Blood God Sect in the future.

He had to find a way to capture Blood God Sect followers, see if he could break the Blood God seal of the Blood God Child Fu Ying, or obtain the cultivation method of the Blood God Continued-Limb Great Method from the captured Blood God Sect followers.

This made Xu Jin extremely happy.

The greatest harvest from slaying the Blood God Child Fu Ying should be knowing about the Blood God Continued-Limb Great Method.

In the future, he had a clear direction to search.

The next instant, Xu Jin's mind stirred, and he appeared in the Star-Plucking Secret Realm.

【Challenge】

For the current Xu Jin, Copper Star and Silver Star were both easy tasks.

With a wave of his hand, he challenged successfully and obtained the Copper Star and Silver Star.

【Challenge Gold Star Level Heart Demon】

The next instant, the starlight in front of his eyes shifted, and a heart demon that was exactly the same as Xu Jin, with a cultivation as high as Fifth Tier, First Layer, appeared in front of Xu Jin.

Almost at the same time it appeared, a gold bell appeared on its body, just like Xu Jin's.

But it was obviously not the Fish Curtain Gold Bell.

It was just an ordinary Rain Curtain Gold Bell.

Compared to Xu Jin's Fish Curtain Gold Bell supported by the Eighth Tier low-grade Wandering Fish Star Pattern, it was far worse.

The next instant, *Po Sha* (Break Evil) was fired.

The Flame Explosion based on the Dazzling Purple Heavenly Fire was fired, directly shattering the heart demon's Rain Curtain Gold Bell.

But very quickly, the heart demon woke up under the bombardment of *Po Sha*.

One after another, dazzling purple gold lotuses suddenly bloomed and then exploded.

Soul-Swinging Jin Lian.

The moment the gold lotuses exploded continuously, the heart demon's figure was swallowed by the dazzling purple gold lotus flame light!

Challenge successful.

Easy.

Easier than Xu Jin had imagined.

At the same time, Xu Jin also grasped the pattern of the heart demon's strength in the Star-Plucking Secret Realm.

Divine soul cultivation and star power cultivation were fixed.

At the same time, the heart demon could also copy the star patterns Xu Jin knew.

But this kind of copying was just a superficial copying.

For example, Xu Jin knew the Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, and the heart demon copied it, but what the heart demon copied was only the Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, and there was nothing further.

Xu Jin's Dazzling Purple Heavenly Fire and Burning Soul Heavenly Fire could not be copied.

What the heart demon copied was only the Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, and the rank of this Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern should be determined by the rank of the heart demon when the Star-Plucking Tower generated the secret realm.

According to the heart demon's performance, the Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern used by the heart demon would not exceed Sixth Tier top-grade, and was most likely Sixth Tier low-grade.

Similarly, *Po Sha* was also copied, but only *Po Sha* was copied, and the specific rank could not be copied.

Besides this, the unique star arts Xu Jin deduced himself, such as Soul-Swinging Jin Lian and Startling Dream, the heart demon had not learned yet.

It seemed that the heart demon's so-called copying also had its limits.

One gold star was in hand.

Subsequently, Xu Jin began to challenge the Gold Star level gatekeeper.

When challenging the Gold Star level gatekeeper, Xu Jin fought even more casually.

The main purpose was no longer to win and obtain the gold star, but to hone actual combat.

There were not many strong sparring partners like the Gold Star level gatekeeper.

In the following quarter of an hour, Xu Jin used the Gold Star level gatekeeper as a sparring partner to thoroughly master his newly learned Earth Meta-Magnetic Force.

What surprised Xu Jin the most was that the Earth Meta-Magnetic Force could actually affect the enemy's speed.

Within a radius of one hundred meters centered on Xu Jin, it was the influence range of the Earth Meta-Magnetic Force.

If he used star arts to carry the Earth Meta-Magnetic Force, such as Earth Meta-Magnetic Arrows, Earth Meta-Magnetic Ropes, etc., it could also affect the enemy's speed, but it was relatively limited.

This newly acquired Earth Meta-Magnetic Force made Xu Jin's combat style suddenly become several times richer, and his attacks became even more unpredictable.

It was no longer as singular as before.

It was a huge improvement for Xu Jin's actual combat.

For Earth Root, Xu Jin also wanted to try it, but he couldn't try it here.

Because Xu Jin's feet could not step on the earth, naturally he could not obtain the effect of Earth Root.

However, the Fish Curtain Gold Bell cast with the Eighth Tier mid-grade Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern as a foundation directly made the Gold Star level gatekeeper unable to break the defense.

Bombardment could not break it!

It was not strange at all that this scene appeared.

The Fish Curtain Gold Bell consisted of four star patterns, which were the Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, Wandering Fish Star Pattern, Rain Curtain Star Pattern, and Gold Bell Star Pattern.

Among them, the Gold Bell Star Pattern was a non-ranked star pattern, and among the other three star patterns, besides the Rain Curtain Star Pattern being Fourth Tier top-grade, the Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern was as high as Eighth Tier mid-grade, and the Wandering Fish Star Pattern was as high as Eighth Tier low-grade.

A star art whose constituent star patterns included two Eighth Tier star patterns was no longer a high-configuration, but a dream configuration.

Such a dream configuration, let alone Sixth Tier experts, even Seventh Tier experts might not necessarily have.

Then it was normal to have such astonishing defensive power currently.

Moreover, the Fish Curtain Gold Bell could not be broken by a single strike from a Fifth Tier, Ninth Layer expert even when using the Sixth Tier top-grade Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern.

Of course, this advantage would become smaller and smaller as Xu Jin's cultivation improved.

But now, it was a life-saving artifact.

A quarter of an hour later, before the star power in his body was exhausted, Xu Jin shattered the Gold Star level gatekeeper with one move.

The second gold star was obtained.

Xu Jin's gold star inventory rose from one to three.

Next, naturally, was to continue the challenge.

Challenge the bright star directly!

In the shifting starlight, a Gold Star level gatekeeper and a Gold Star level heart demon appeared behind Xu Jin at the same time.

Compared to Xu Jin's first challenge to the bright star, where he was nervous and utilized every factor to the extreme.

Now Xu Jin challenged the bright star with extreme ease.

Especially with the Fish Curtain Gold Bell supported by the Eighth Tier mid-grade Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, even the combined attack of the Gold Star level gatekeeper and the heart demon could not break Xu Jin's defense.

Within a radius of one hundred meters around him, the Earth Meta-Magnetic Force was extremely strange.

The closer they were to Xu Jin, the greater the influence Xu Jin had on their speed.

This battle lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't win after his star power was exhausted, Xu Jin could even have fought for an hour in this battle.

One by one, new tactics combined with the Earth Meta-Magnetic Force were constantly tested and attempted by Xu Jin. Before his star power was exhausted, Xu Jin slowed down the Gold Star level gatekeeper through the control of the Earth Meta-Magnetic Force, then bombarded it with the Soul-Swinging Jin Lian, and subsequently bombarded the heart demon.

【Congratulations on your successful challenge; you have obtained one bright star.】

The starlight prompt in front of his eyes made Xu Jin extremely happy.

The number of bright stars increased by one again.

Currently, there were three gold stars and two bright stars remaining!

Xu Jin was already hesitating whether to consume a bright star to directly deduce the Eighth Tier mid-grade Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern to the Ninth Tier.

The reason he didn't do so was that Xu Jin realized one point: the number of bright stars he could obtain in the Star-Plucking Secret Realm actually had an upper limit.

Even with the most optimistic and brave estimation, even after Xu Jin's cultivation broke through to the Sixth Tier or even Seventh Tier, he could still obtain bright stars, which would be about thirty more bright stars.

If, according to the Grand Master, it was extremely difficult to obtain gold stars after the Fifth Tier.

Xu Jin relaxed it a bit here: it was extremely difficult to obtain bright stars after the Fifth Tier.

Estimating this way, the bright stars Xu Jin would obtain in the future would be about ten.

Therefore, bright stars still had to be used sparingly.

The deduction of star patterns above the Eighth Tier was calculated in years, but a bright star could directly raise a small rank, so its preciousness went without saying.

After thinking it over, Xu Jin decided not to use the bright star to enhance the Eighth Tier mid-grade Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern for the time being.

Of course, there was another important reason.

That was that the Eighth Tier mid-grade Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern was already very high, and the burden of star power consumption on Xu Jin was very large.

Xu Jin's current situation was like a small horse pulling a big cart.

That is, with the support of the starlight from the Practice Arena, otherwise, he would be unable to fight continuously.

The top priority was still to grasp the improvement of cultivation, and at the same time, engrave star patterns.

After his cultivation broke through to the Fourth Tier, there were many things Xu Jin had to do.

After his cultivation broke through to Fourth Tier, First Layer Condense Star, the star patterns on the two newly condensed star cores in the Middle Shang Xinggong and Lower Shang Xinggong, except for the basic Great Gather Star Pattern, did not have any star patterns and were still blank.

Currently, Xu Jin already had an idea.

The second star in the Middle Shang Xinggong would be engraved with the Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, as well as Earth system star patterns.

The second star in the Lower Shang Xinggong, Xu Jin had already planned to leave it for the Sixth Tier star art "Break Void" obtained from his Uncle Mo Ji.

During this period, Xu Jin had been studying the star patterns of "Break Void" whenever he had time.

However, the star patterns of "Break Void" were almost all brand new star patterns.

What was even more critical was that although the "Break Void" star art only had six star patterns, according to his Uncle Mo Ji's cultivation manual, if one wanted to run this star art completely, it required at least eight star pattern positions.

The Sixth Tier "Break Void" star art was composed of six star patterns: Imperial Object, Sharp Gold, Ten Thousand Jun, Swift Wind, Flicker, and Attached Star.

Among these six star patterns, besides Imperial Object which Xu Jin had learned.

Sharp Gold, Ten Thousand Jun, Swift Wind, Flicker, and Attached Star were all star patterns he had never learned or come into contact with before, and they were categories of star power that Xu Jin had not learned before.

Sharp Gold and Ten Thousand Jun were Gold system star patterns, so if one wanted them to exert their effects, they needed the Gold Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern to support them.

Swift Wind was a Wind system star art, and if one wanted it to exert its power, it needed the Wind Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern to support it.

That made eight star patterns.

The Flicker star pattern was a Space star pattern.

Space star pattern was a relatively strange star pattern; many Space star patterns did not need Space star power to support them and could exert their effects independently.

Otherwise, Xu Jin wouldn't be able to cast "Break Void" even if he learned it.

As for Attached Star, it was a star pattern that added power to the "Break Void" star art, which could bless a high-power star power in the final explosion, and could also be considered a killer move of "Break Void."

In other words, if Xu Jin wanted to cast "Break Void" completely, he needed eight types of star patterns: Imperial Object, Sharp Gold, Ten Thousand Jun, Swift Wind, Flicker, Attached Star, Wind Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, and Gold Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern.

One star core had at most ten star pattern positions; excluding the basic star patterns, there were nine left.

The cultivation of the second star core in the Lower Shang Xinggong had not reached its peak, but it was just enough to engrave "Break Void."

In the short term, Xu Jin's goal was to complete the engraving of the Sixth Tier star art "Break Void."

Xu Jin estimated that this "Break Void" star art would become his follow-up strike artifact!

But now, it required Xu Jin to learn the Wind Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern and Gold Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern first.

Fortunately, the National Dao Academy had both types of star patterns.

The next instant, Xu Jin left the Star-Plucking Tower and headed straight for Danxia Palace.

One reason was to learn star patterns, and the other was to hand over the Eighth Tier mid-grade

As for whether it was a loss or not, Xu Jin didn't feel it was a loss at all.

Not to mention that ordinary disciples wanted to learn the Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern below the seventh tier, even elites of the Da Chen National Dao Academy like Dong Zhao and Liuzhou Qingzhu, if they wanted to learn the Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern below the seventh tier, they would either have to perform great meritorious service several times, or after their cultivation base broke through to the sixth tier, they could choose one seventh-tier star pattern to learn.

But Xu Jin had learned it very early on.

Of course, Xu Jin had also performed countless meritorious deeds.

But that was hard to calculate.

It could only be said that they achieved each other.

After a few dozen breaths, Xu Jin stepped into the Danxia Palace. Unexpectedly, the Grand Master was not there, and the one welcoming Xu Jin was actually Peng Lao.

"Xu Jin, is there something the matter? If there is, just say it! Because the Nine-Star Tide is approaching, the Grand Master has personally gone to various places to inspect and deploy defenses, and he will be able to return in two days at the earliest," Peng Lao said.

Xu Jin was not surprised to hear this.

At the critical moment of the Nine-Star Tide, it was normal for the Grand Master to go on an inspection tour.

But the Wind Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern and Gold Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern he wanted to learn were hard to say.

Moreover, because the Nine-Star Tide was approaching, Xu Jin also hoped to use these three or four days to successfully engrave the sixth-tier star art, Void Breaker, so that his combat power could be improved by a large margin.

"Peng Lao, now that I have broken through to the fourth tier, I want to learn the Wind Source and Gold Source star patterns, so I can study them sooner," Xu Jin said directly.

But as for Peng Lao's side, Xu Jin didn't know what the situation was, so it was hard to say directly.

"Learning the Gold Source and Wind Source is not difficult, but I need to ask the Palace Master what rank to teach you," Peng Lao said, taking out the Star-Plucking Token while speaking.

After one breath, Peng Lao received a reply from the Grand Master, Cheng Cheng Yuexiao.

Turning back, he took out two very high-ranking Star Jade Tablets. When he handed them to Xu Jin, he took out three more Star Jade Tablets from his bosom, five in total, and handed them to Xu Jin together.

This left Xu Jin extremely stunned.

"The Palace Master said that since you want to learn the Gold Source and Wind Source, he will directly teach you the latest versions of these two star patterns held by the National Dao Academy. This is the Wind Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern among the eighth tier, and this is the Gold Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern among the seventh tier.

You must keep them well and never pass them on to others.

The Palace Master said that after he returns, he will use the Nine-Sheng Bronze Bell to impose a seal on you," Peng Lao said.

Even though Xu Jin had thought it was possible, he was still very surprised and shocked to truly receive the Gold Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern among the seventh tier and the Wind Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern among the eighth tier at this moment.

He just gave them to him like this!

The Grand Master just gave them to him directly like this!

This...

You must know that even for the newly released Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern among the eighth tier, what the Grand Master taught to the Senior Dean Kou Jing was only the low-grade eighth tier.

Keeping a little bit back is the normal practice of the National Dao Academy.

But Xu Jin didn't expect that the Grand Master would give him the latest versions of these two star patterns without any reservation!

In an instant, Xu Jin had only one feeling—heavy!

The Gold Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern among the seventh tier and the Wind Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern among the eighth tier in his hands were incomparably heavy!

After the emotion, Xu Jin's gaze turned to the other three Star Jade Tablets in his hands, and he looked at Peng Lao.

"Peng Lao, then what are these three?"

"These three, let me tell you slowly."

Peng Lao pointed to the first one with a smile and said, "The Palace Master said you have always wanted the Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, and the Grand Master has been ordering me to look for it. However, the Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern itself is extremely rare, and those willing to sell it are even fewer.

In the end, the Wood Spirit Palace was willing to sell the high-grade third-tier Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern.

The Palace Master let me make a trip, and I successfully obtained this high-grade third-tier Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern.

After bringing it back, the Palace Master went to the Star Dome Secret Realm to open the enlightenment time and deduce it for four hours. Currently, it has only been deduced to the mid-fourth tier. Although it is not high, it can barely be used.

If you have time in the future, deduce it a bit more, and it will be very powerful," Peng Lao said.

The surprise in Xu Jin's heart was indescribable.

Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern.

The Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern he had always wanted, the Grand Master actually got it for him!

And it was even deduced to the mid-fourth tier!

With the Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, Xu Jin's actual combat system could become even more complex and varied.

"Then these two?"

"Oh, one of these two Star Jade Tablets records the Chain Star Pattern of the Wood Spirit Palace, and the other is the low-tier Star Healing Star Art authorized by the Wood Spirit Palace.

From this moment on, you can openly cast the Star Healing Star Art, and you can also produce and engrave low-tier Star Healing Emblems," Peng Lao said.

Xu Jin was dumbfounded.

These surprises were truly one after another.

"However, these are all just add-ons for the Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern," Peng Lao said.

"Add-ons? Peng Lao, then what price was paid to purchase this Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern?" Xu Jin asked.

The next instant, when Peng Lao said the answer, Xu Jin was dumbfounded!
