Chapter 343: Lingtai and the Domain Lord

Xu Jin once again witnessed the difficulty of deducing the Clarity Soul Star Pattern.

The Clarity Soul Star Pattern was truly worthy of being the most valuable and hardest-to-deduce star pattern in the Spirit Era Shang Xinggong.

There was no other!

The high-tier Dao derivation brought by the Radiant Star lasted until the end, yet Xu Jin had only deduced four small branches of the Clarity Soul Star Pattern. At this rate of efficiency, without the investment of four or five Gold Stars, it would be impossible to deduce the Clarity Soul Star Pattern to the eighth tier, low grade.

Fortunately, Xu Jin had used a Radiant Star directly this time.

If he had used a Gold Star, it would likely have been a waste.

After the high-tier Dao derivation ended, the Radiant Star directly completed the star pattern for this small rank of the Clarity Soul Star Pattern, bringing it straight to the eighth tier, low grade!

When the Clarity Soul Star Pattern was completed, Xu Jin took advantage of the remaining comprehension time in the Star Dome Secret Realm to look back and re-comprehend it, mapping it against the various difficulties encountered during the previous deduction process, and suddenly felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

So it was supposed to be like this or like that!

Xu Jin felt his thinking was greatly inspired, and his train of thought and vision regarding star pattern deduction were further broadened.

Inspired by this, Xu Jin's mind suddenly sank into the Great Sun Star Pattern he had previously deduced, and he began to deduce it again.

It wasn't a re-deduction, but rather a feeling in his heart, making a small change based on the previous deduction.

Half an hour later, the Great Sun Star Pattern modification was complete.

The next instant, a fist-sized ball of light suddenly appeared in Xu Jin's hand.

This was the change in the latest Great Sun Star Pattern.

Previously, Xu Jin could only shrink and collapse the Great Sun Star Pattern to a radius of one meter; he didn't know how much the power had increased, but he felt it was still somewhat limited in actual combat.

Benefiting from the deduction process of the Clarity Soul Star Pattern, Xu Jin added several branches for receiving divine soul mental energy, while simultaneously reducing the star power branches of the Great Sun Star Pattern, which was equivalent to reducing the star power consumption when casting the Great Sun Star Pattern, and also lowering the power of the Great Sun Star Pattern.

However, it could now be shrunk to a smaller size, yet the power had not decreased in the slightest, and had even increased.

Only then did Xu Jin return his attention to the eighth-tier, low-grade Clarity Soul Star Pattern, and the moment his mind sank in, he had a harvest.

As expected, the eighth-tier, low-grade Clarity Soul Star Pattern also provided Xu Jin with a special star technique: Lingtai!

Activate the Clarity Soul Star Pattern to condense a Lingtai and illuminate the Primordial Spirit.

It can accelerate the recovery of divine soul mental energy, speed up the recovery of divine soul injuries, resist various illusion-type divine soul secret techniques, and frequent operation can purify the Primordial Spirit and clarify the physical body.

After sensing it, Xu Jin was slightly disappointed.

The star technique brought by the Clarity Soul Star Pattern, which had an incredibly powerful passive effect, after breaking through to the eighth tier, didn't seem that great.

It was just an enhanced version of the Clarity Soul Star Pattern.

It used to be passive, but now it could be operated actively, and the effect should be stronger than the passive one.

No surprises.

Thinking was thinking, but Xu Jin still wanted to try it.

A new star technique, only by trying can one know its depth!

The next instant, Xu Jin's mind sank into a Clarity Soul Star Pattern, and as he activated it slightly, it condensed into a Lingtai, emitting a faint glimmer that illuminated Xu Jin's Primordial Spirit; faintly, this residual light could even shine into Xu Jin's physical body.

In an instant, Xu Jin felt a sense of extreme comfort.

That feeling was like lying in a mother's arms, or soaking in a spring with just the right temperature, making one incredibly comfortable.

At the same time, the recovery of Xu Jin's divine soul mental energy also accelerated.

Under the illumination of the glimmer, Xu Jin's tense nerves suddenly had a rare sense of relaxation!

The whole person had an inexplicable sense of ease.

Although disappointed, Xu Jin was still full of admiration; the special star technique produced by an eighth-tier star pattern was indeed extraordinary.

However, Xu Jin had only activated one Clarity Soul Star Pattern to condense into a Lingtai.

What if seventy-eight Clarity Soul Star Patterns condensed into a Lingtai?

The next instant, Xu Jin's mind moved, and the seventy-eight Clarity Soul Star Patterns within the Upper Shang Xinggong star core simultaneously operated the Lingtai star technique; in an instant, seventy-eight streams of light converged together, condensing into a radiant Lingtai within Xu Jin's Primordial Spirit.

Instantly, Xu Jin's Primordial Spirit was illuminated until it was clear and transparent, also illuminating Xu Jin's physical body until it was clear.

Divine soul mental energy began to accelerate its recovery, and this acceleration was a multiple-fold acceleration.

Suddenly, Xu Jin's expression became shocked.

He saw that the faint layer of blood light stained on the outside of Xu Jin's Primordial Spirit began to slowly dissolve under the illumination of the Lingtai's brilliance!

A surge of wild joy instantly welled up in Xu Jin's heart!

He didn't expect that the most valuable part of the Lingtai star technique was actually in the most inconspicuous description.

Frequent operation can purify the Primordial Spirit!

This "purify" should mean purification!

The Lingtai star technique can purify the Primordial Spirit.

It can purify the blood light that Xu Jin absorbed when he absorbed the Myriad Spirit Blood Elixirs!

Xu Jin observed for a full quarter of an hour, and finally determined the purification speed.

At this rate, the blood light that had seeped into his Primordial Spirit after absorbing the three Myriad Spirit Blood Elixirs would be completely cleared in seven or eight days!

In other words, starting from today, Xu Jin could begin to safely absorb and refine Myriad Spirit Blood Elixirs to improve his cultivation.

Not a loss!

The Lingtai star technique brought by the Clarity Soul Star Pattern after being deduced to the eighth tier, low grade, was too worth it!

At this point, Xu Jin had two Radiant Stars left, and two Gold Stars left.

Xu Jin was in no hurry to consume this Radiant Star; he had to keep it for emergencies.

There was still some comprehension time left in the Star Dome Secret Realm, and Xu Jin wouldn't waste it.

He simply took out an Essence Blood Bead seized from the shadow scout and began to study it.

Xu Jin was now a great expert in deducing star patterns, and he himself was a master of making emblems, so his methods and discernment were extraordinary.

With the cooperation of the six Bright Era Star Patterns, his insight was even more astonishing.

At this very moment, with the help of the Star Dome Secret Realm's Dao comprehension, his efficiency was astonishing.

After exploding five of the seized Essence Blood Beads in a row, Xu Jin understood the principle of the Essence Blood Bead.

It was to condense the Essence Blood Bead using a special star pattern.

The rank of this special star pattern was not high, only third tier, very simple, but designed very ingeniously.

It was somewhat similar to the structure of the Source Power Star Pattern.

But the target of the casting had changed to the essence blood of alien races.

It collected and controlled the alien essence blood together, while being able to carry star power, and then used star power to dissolve the aura contained within the alien essence blood, turning it into an Essence Blood Bead that could output continuously.

It was only a third-tier star pattern.

Xu Jin quickly reverse-deduced it.

As long as he obtained alien essence blood, with this star pattern, Xu Jin could also condense Essence Blood Beads himself to conceal his aura.

Xu Jin named this star pattern the Blood Concealment Star Pattern.

After the research ended, Xu Jin directly took out a Myriad Spirit Blood Elixir and began to refine and consume it.

Since the Lingtai star technique could already continuously purify his Primordial Spirit and eliminate the blood light pollution of this Myriad Spirit Blood Elixir, Xu Jin could use it to improve his cultivation.

Xu Jin was already very familiar with refining and absorbing Myriad Spirit Blood Elixirs.

One every quarter of an hour!

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin's Middle Shang Xinggong cultivation broke through to the early stage of the fourth tier, sixth layer. An hour later, both Xu Jin's Middle Shang Xinggong and Lower Shang Xinggong cultivation had reached the early stage of the fourth tier, sixth layer.

Without hesitation, Xu Jin entered the Star Picking Secret Realm again.

Started the challenge!

In this challenge, Xu Jin focused on trying out the newly improved Great Sun star technique.

The power directly made Xu Jin look sideways!

One-hit kill!

The Great Sun star technique, shrunk to the size of a palm, exploded in an instant, directly killing the inner demon in one hit!

The inner demon had also learned the Great Sun star technique, but it was completely different from Xu Jin's Great Sun star technique.

This showed that the star patterns Xu Jin deduced and improved himself could not be copied by the star demon!

In half an hour, two Gold Stars and one Radiant Star were easily obtained.

Half an hour later, after Xu Jin refined another Myriad Spirit Blood Elixir, the cultivation of Xu Jin's Middle and Lower Star Palaces both broke through to the early stage of the fourth tier, seventh layer.

Xu Jin originally wanted to practice, but when he looked at his Primordial Spirit through inner vision, he was startled.

On the Primordial Spirit, a thick layer of blood light had already covered it.

Although it was illuminated by the light of the Lingtai star technique and was constantly dissolving.

But the accumulated amount was already very large.

If Xu Jin's mind sank into it, he would have an indescribable sense of annoyance, wanting to kill.

Xu Jin knew that in the short term, before this layer of blood light was consumed, he could not use Myriad Spirit Blood Elixirs again.

However, this breakthrough was enough.

It directly caused Xu Jin's cultivation to soar from the fourth tier, fifth layer to the fourth tier, seventh layer, and his combat power increased by at least twenty or thirty percent.

The fourth tier, seventh layer was already an expert in the late fourth tier; purely in terms of cultivation, they were already the elite of the elite among the main combat forces of various forces!

Xu Jin was not in a hurry, and continued to use his divine soul mental energy in the Star Dome Secret Realm to strengthen the Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern.

As long as the Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern was strengthened to the first layer, the power of Xu Jin's fire-type star techniques would directly double!

And the urgent military intelligence that Xu Jin brought to the present world also began to trigger a series of chain reactions!

After Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao passed the urgent military intelligence to all parties, besides mobilizing elites and organizing expedition teams, the most urgent thing for all parties was to issue warnings!

It was to warn the Domain Lords who were stationed in various star domains!

Both the Domain Lords on the surface and those stationed in the dark were all warned!

They didn't know until they were warned; the Domain Lords stationed in various places immediately began to investigate after the action, and discovered abnormalities.

They originally thought that the Star Domain Kings in the star domains they were stationed in were very stable recently, but they didn't expect that one by one they were holding back a big move!

Especially those star domains where Domain Lords were stationed, they were all hit, and these were also the places where the Holy Clan messengers completed their tasks most easily.

In other star domains, such as the Spring Thunder Star Domain that Xu Jin had previously fought his way through, after the Saint Clan messengers arrived, they still encountered some trouble when trying to subdue the Star Domain Lords to obtain their Heaven and Earth Star Will.

Because these Star Domain Lords were accustomed to being the bosses, accustomed to reigning as kings and hegemons, suddenly a special envoy came and told them to hand over their Heaven and Earth Star Will, forcing them to humble themselves and act like grandsons?

How many were willing?

If it weren't for the Holy Blood suppression and the Holy Clan Gold Token deterrence, those Holy Clan messengers would have been killed by these Star Domain Kings if they weren't careful!

But the situation in those star domains controlled by Domain Lords was completely different!

The human race's management ability was extremely strong.

Those star domains where human Domain Lords were stationed were all forces that human Domain Lords had built after standing firm, which could rival the Star Domain Kings.

And they were good at management, constantly expanding over the years, constantly compressing the control map of those Star Domain Kings, constantly harvesting their interests, not only damaging the power of these Star Domain Kings, but most importantly, making these Star Domain Kings feel a great threat!

If these human Domain Lords were allowed to continue expanding, then one day, it might even threaten their survival.

According to the practice of these human Domain Lords of "daily arching a pawn," maybe in a few decades, they would all be killed!

However, their power could not do anything to these human Domain Lords.

Especially since these human Domain Lords had a steady stream of external resources and power support!

So when the Holy Clan messenger arrived, it became the life-saving straw for these Star Domain Kings!

Bowing down to the Holy Clan special envoy was not shameful.

The Holy Clan special envoy came from the most noble bloodline among the Holy Clan!

There was even a possibility of creating a great cause with the Holy Clan special envoy.

Rather than guarding the star domain in vain and being slowly worn to death by these Human Domain Lords over several decades, it would be better to readily hand over that Heaven and Earth Star Will and connect the star domain to the Ancestral Land Grotto-Heaven. By then, not only would their cultivation be able to advance greatly, their combat power would also be able to advance greatly, and they could even slaughter these Human Domain Lords whom they hated to the bone!

It was precisely because of this mentality that the star domains where human Domain Lords were stationed became the hardest-hit areas.

Many Human Domain Lords in the star domains, after receiving the warning, conducted emergency investigations and discovered that the Heaven and Earth Star Will of the entire star domain had actually already been concentrated in the hands of one person, and it had begun to boil, beginning to urge the star domain to connect to the so-called Ancestral Land Grotto-Heaven.

There were Domain Lords who wanted to take action to stop it.

But under the instigation of the Holy Clan messenger, the several Star Domain Kings who were originally scattered and had their own thoughts were actually incredibly united.

Some returned in defeat, and some Domain Lords were even seriously injured.

Thus, they all asked for help from the real world!

This request for help also stumped the leaders of all parties in the real world.

Fifth-tier star domains were already difficult to conquer.

Generally, support was sent by sending the most elite forces!

But now what was even more difficult was that the Star Domain Kings of the fifth-tier star domains were actually united together, and this difficulty had already soared multiple-fold.

Several super-strong fifth-tier ninth-layer peak experts could kill one or two sixth-tier ones.

But more than a dozen fifth-tier late-stage and ninth-layer peak experts, encountering more than a dozen sixth-tier late-stage and ninth-layer peak ones, had only one consequence: total annihilation!

Inside the Danxia Palace of the Da Chen State Academy, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao was almost anxious to the point of heart fire.

In the blink of an eye, all four fifth-tier star domains indirectly controlled by Da Chen were in urgent need.

Four fifth-tier Domain Lords, one seriously injured, three returned in defeat!

Li Yuanzheng to a fifth-tier star domain, or an expedition to a star domain where the Star Domain Kings were united together, the difficulty could be imagined.

Cheng Yuexiao barely assembled thirteen fifth-tier experts and spent a lot of money to buy a clearance space jade seal, which solved one star domain.

Of course, the Da Chen State Academy had more than these fifth-tier experts, but there were only so many who were qualified and capable of expedition to a fifth-tier star domain.

Others, sent to a fifth-tier star domain, especially those without the ability to challenge across tiers, were highly likely to be sent to their deaths.

As for the rescue missions for the remaining three star domains, they could only be handed over to the Da Chen Theater Commander Mao Yue to solve.

The reason was also very simple; the elites of the Da Chen State Academy had actually been transported to the Da Chen Theater of the Star River Battlefield over the years!

Inside the Da Chen State Academy, because it was in the real world, the demand for experts was less, so the Da Chen Theater had more fifth-tier elites and more fifth-tier experts.

Like the genius Cui Jing, who had suppressed the State Academy for ten years, he had broken through to the fifth tier a few years ago, but had been serving in the Da Chen Theater!

So, the Grand Master rescued one star domain here, and the Da Chen Commander Mao Yue rescued three star domains there.

But after arranging it, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao thought about it, and still sent a starlight message to Xu Jin.

How to put it, it was a bit unlucky!

Previously, he had just sent Xu Jin's father Xu Dajiang and sister Jiang Er to the fifth-tier Huashi Star Domain guarded by the Ji clan, and it had been less than two months.

Originally, the Huashi Star Domain was very stable and safe.

But as soon as this Holy Clan messenger came, he immediately pulled the Huashi Star Domain into a crisis.

Domain Lord Ji Cheng originally wanted to stop the Huashi Star Domain from being connected by the Holy Clan's Ancestral Land Cave Heaven and led people to raid the Holy Clan messenger, but not only failed, he himself was seriously injured!

He was asking for help now!

However, the star gate passage of the Huashi Star Domain was on the Star River Battlefield, so it was handed over to the Da Chen Commander Mao Yue to deal with.

But, he had to notify Xu Jin!

For one, this was necessary, and for another, the Grand Master hoped that Xu Jin could take action!

Xu Jin, who was in deep cultivation, suddenly had his Star Picking Token flash three times, and it was a starlight message from the Grand Master.

After just one glance, his brows furrowed.

But just after reading it, the Star Picking Token flashed again, and it was another ten-thousand-urgent starlight message!

Xu Jin took a look, it was from Hou Yunzhang!
