Chapter 371

A bright star, once opened, can obtain a high-tier Dao-derivation opportunity and can also directly upgrade and complete a small rank.

According to Xu Jin's prediction, the Lei Xiang star pattern, which has already been deduced to the seventh tier, middle grade, should be able to be deduced to the eighth tier, lower grade with one high-tier Dao-derivation opportunity, and then by upgrading and completing a small rank, it can directly deduce the eighth tier, middle grade Lei Xiang star pattern.

The eighth tier, middle grade Lei Xiang star pattern, achieved in one step.

Xu Jin also wants to see what kind of changes the "Image" type star pattern, which has always been the most profound and mysterious, will bring him after being directly deduced to the eighth tier, and what kind of special star technique it will bring?

According to previous experience, after the star pattern is deduced to the eighth tier, a special star technique will be obtained.

But the deduction process made Xu Jin very surprised.

The high-tier Dao-derivation brought by the opening of the bright star allowed Xu Jin to very smoothly deduce the seventh tier, middle grade Lei Xiang star pattern to the seventh tier, upper grade.

But when he started to deduce the seventh tier, upper grade Lei Xiang star pattern to the eighth tier, lower grade, it was not very normal.

Or rather, the difficulty was unexpectedly great.

Until the remaining high-tier Dao-derivation time ended, plus the Dao-comprehension assistance of the Star Dome Secret Realm, plus the auxiliary improvement of the third-tier thunder-type laws, Xu Jin did not deduce the Lei Xiang star pattern from the seventh tier, upper grade to the eighth tier, lower grade.

Even the progress was pitifully low.

Only two branches were deduced, and not even one main trunk was deduced.

In terms of completion, less than fifteen percent was completed.

The difficulty of the eighth-tier Lei Xiang star pattern increased directly by multiples, which was frighteningly large.

In the end, after the high-tier Dao-derivation ended, it was only after the bright star directly completed it that the Lei Xiang star pattern was upgraded from the seventh tier, upper grade to the eighth tier, lower grade.

This eighth-tier, lower-grade star pattern was obtained with great difficulty.

Although difficult, after the Lei Xiang star pattern was deduced to the eighth tier, lower grade, it did indeed obtain a special star technique: Nine Heavens Lei Yun.

The Lei Xiang star pattern can condense one Nine Heavens Lei Yun every day. One hundred Nine Heavens Thunder Rhymes can condense into a Thunder Pool, which can cleanse the physical body and also increase the power of thunder-type star techniques.

This made Xu Jin very surprised.

This was the first time he had obtained such a special star technique that was like a star technique but not quite like one.

What kind of existence is this Nine Heavens Lei Yun?

Although Xu Jin was urgent, he did not immediately inscribe the deduced eighth-tier, lower-grade Lei Xiang star pattern onto the star core.

Xu Jin wanted to compare and see how much the Lei Xiang star pattern increased the power of thunder-type star techniques.

This determines his future deduction direction.

If the increase is not large, then other "Image" type star patterns, such as Earth Image, or Fire Image, Wind Image type star patterns, should be enough, stop when it's enough, no need to grind to the eighth tier.

If the increase is large enough, and this special star technique Nine Heavens Lei Yun is strong enough, then he must grind to death.

Xu Jin had already thought of the test subject.

The gold-star level gatekeeper and gold-star level inner demon of the Star-Plucking Secret Realm.

The gold star and bright star for breaking through to the fourth tier, ninth layer have not been plucked yet, so it's just right to test while plucking them.

Pausing the comprehension time of the Star Dome Secret Realm, Xu Jin's heart moved, and he came to the Star-Plucking Secret Realm. Without any suspense, he plucked two copper stars and two silver stars again.

Previously, he had fourteen silver stars, consumed ten, and now he got two more, so he still had six silver stars.

The next instant, Xu Jin directly challenged the gold-star level gatekeeper.

Xu Jin's cultivation at this time was fourth tier, ninth layer, and the gold-star level gatekeeper's cultivation was fifth tier, ninth layer.

Although it was fifth tier, ninth layer, in the setting of the Star-Plucking Secret Realm, it was the most powerful fifth tier, ninth layer, with a cultivation status comparable to the top geniuses of various forces, and at the same time, it was an expert who had ground for decades, polished his cultivation to the limit, strengthened at least one star pattern to the seventh layer or above, and built at least seven layers of the building.

Many sixth-tier mid-to-late-stage cultivators' projected Cloud Building phantoms did not have seven layers built.

Very powerful.

But in front of Xu Jin, whose strength had skyrocketed, it was still not enough to look at.

A quarter of an hour later, after Xu Jin did many tests, he easily killed it.

Two Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunders could kill it.

Or two full-power strikes of fifteen Heavenly Gang Thunder Chains could kill it.

Xu Jin plucked a gold star.

Subsequently, Xu Jin began to challenge the gold-star level inner demon.

The combat power of the gold-star level inner demon was a full double that of the gold-star level gatekeeper, because of Xu Jin, the reference body.

Xu Jin mainly used thunder-type star techniques because he wanted to do tests.

When defending with the Heavenly Gang Thunder Chain, the gold-star level inner demon could shatter the Heavenly Gang Lei Liandun in one and a half strikes.

Under the control of the Dream Surprise, Xu Jin bombarded the gold-star level inner demon with two strikes of Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunder, but did not kill it.

It is estimated that three Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunders are needed to directly kill the gold-star level inner demon.

After finishing all the tests, Xu Jin directly gave up defense and let the gold-star level inner demon kill him and shatter him into countless starlight.

According to the rules of the Star-Plucking Secret Realm, after failing the challenge twice in a row, one can only challenge again after three days.

Xu Jin only failed the challenge once, so he can challenge again in a while.

The next instant, Xu Jin returned to the Star Dome Secret Realm, but did not continue to deduce.

Instead, he began to inscribe the eighth-tier, lower-grade Lei Xiang star pattern.

There is no need for proficiency for the star pattern deduced by himself; it is like an examiner who sets the questions, the answer has long been clear in his heart.

Everything from the inside to the outside of this eighth-tier, lower-grade Lei Xiang star pattern was understood thoroughly by Xu Jin.

In just two quarters of an hour, it was successfully inscribed.

On the previous thunder-type star core, there were still many empty spots.

The moment the eighth-tier, lower-grade Lei Xiang star pattern was successfully inscribed, Xu Jin suddenly had a strange feeling.

He actually faintly sensed the existence of thunder and lightning in the clouds in the distance.

Originally, Xu Jin could only sense the star power that was everywhere around him, but now, he could clearly sense the pitifully little thunder-type star power in the star power from all directions.

His heart moved slightly, Xu Jin simultaneously activated the Lei Yuan star pattern and the Lei Xiang star pattern, and immediately discovered the difference.

With the assistance of the Lei Xiang star pattern, when activating the Lei Yuan star pattern, the speed at which the star power in his body was converted into thunder-type star power through the Lei Yuan star pattern directly doubled.

Not only that, under the powerful sensing of Xu Jin's thirty-six Bright Era star patterns, and under the action of the Lei Xiang star pattern, the thunder-type star power generated in his body underwent a qualitative change.

The thunder attached to each thunder-type star power was more than double what it was before.

The most intuitive discovery was that the thunder and lightning arc on each thunder-type star power was more than double as thick.

What about the Nine Heavens Lei Yun?

Xu Jin's heart moved, and he activated the Lei Xiang star pattern with all his strength. As the Lei Xiang star pattern flickered, a pitch-black thunder light suddenly appeared, condensed in the very center of the Lei Xiang star pattern, circling and flashing.

As it circled and flashed, the entire Lei Xiang star pattern, including the Lei Yuan star pattern, was slightly rippling.

This?

Xu Jin was a bit surprised.

One hundred are needed to condense into a Thunder Pool, which can cleanse the physical body and also increase the power of thunder-type star techniques?

Does it take more than three months to accumulate?

"Let's test the power increase of thunder-type star techniques first."

The next instant, Xu Jin's heart moved, and he entered the Star-Plucking Secret Realm again, directly starting to challenge the gold-star level inner demon.

The moment the secret realm light and shadow disappeared, Xu Jin instantly burst forward and directly used a Dream Surprise to hard-control the gold-star level inner demon.

The next instant, Xu Jin activated the Lei Yuan and Lei Xiang star patterns, hooked the third-tier thunder-type laws, and unleashed the star technique Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunder!

Boom boom!

The Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunder was extremely fast, and in an instant, it bombarded two strikes.

The moment the two Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunders bombarded down, the gold-star level inner demon was directly bombarded into ashes.

Xu Jin's horrified expression carried surprise.

This power, the magnitude of the increase is really large enough!

Although extremely fast, under the sensing of the thirty-six Bright Era star patterns, it was sensed extremely clearly.

The second Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunder only used half of its power, and the gold-star level inner demon was bombarded to death!

Doubled!

The eighth-tier, lower-grade Lei Xiang star pattern directly doubled the power of thunder-type star techniques!

A few breaths later, Xu Jin directly started to challenge the bright star!

As soon as the challenge started, Xu Jin took a bombardment from the gold-star level inner demon head-on, and a Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunder bombarded toward the gold-star level gatekeeper.

Under the full defense of the gold-star level gatekeeper, this Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunder directly turned the gold-star level gatekeeper into ashes.

Power, really doubled! Under the blessing of the Lei Xiang star pattern, the defensive power of the Heavenly Gang Lei Liandun also doubled.

It took a full three strikes from the gold-star level inner demon to shatter it.

But in the process of activating the Heavenly Gang Lei Liandun, or rather, in the process of activating thunder-type star techniques, Xu Jin discovered that the Nine Heavens Lei Yun in the center of the Lei Xiang star pattern was actually stirring.

It seemed that as long as his heart moved, he could trigger it.

Xu Jin decided to test it.

Anyway, he could condense a wisp of Nine Heavens Lei Yun in one day.

The next instant, when Xu Jin bombarded the gold-star level inner demon with Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunder, he directly triggered this wisp of Nine Heavens Lei Yun.

Just as his thought moved, this wisp of Nine Heavens Lei Yun merged into the Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunder.

In an instant, the crimson Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunder suddenly carried a wisp of charm that made the heart tremble, and endless pressure faintly came from it.

Boom!

The Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunder merged with the Nine Heavens Lei Yun fell.

Xu Jin's eyes suddenly widened.

The gold-star level inner demon hit by it was directly shattered into a wisp of blue smoke, leaving a ground of ashes!

"This power"

After obtaining the Lei Xiang star pattern, the power of Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunder doubled, and it took one and a half strikes to kill the gold-star level inner demon.

Now, after merging with the Nine Heavens Lei Yun, one strike killed it.

One wisp of Nine Heavens Lei Yun could actually increase the power of Guards Huo Yun Divine Thunder by at least fifty percent!

This increase!

Good star technique!

Worth it!

Deducing the Lei Xiang star pattern is super worth it!

Even if a bright star was used, it only deduced the Lei Xiang star pattern to the eighth tier, lower grade, but it was still super worth it.

As the light and shadow flickered, another bright star was in hand.

Previously, when deducing the Lei Xiang star pattern, ten silver stars, one gold star, and one bright star were used.

This time, breaking into the Star-Plucking Secret Realm, he got two more gold stars and one bright star.

The number of gold stars Xu Jin possessed did not decrease but increased, reaching nine, and the bright stars were still five.

Retiring from the Star-Plucking Secret Realm, Xu Jin was thinking about another thing.

This Nine Heavens Lei Yun is so strong, but only one wisp can be condensed in a day.

If more Lei Xiang star patterns were inscribed, could more wisps of Nine Heavens Lei Yun be condensed?

Test!

Must test this idea immediately.

As for the position of the star core, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, the two great star palaces have seventy-two star cores, and testing and wasting half is still much more than others.

The next instant, Xu Jin casually found a star core and began to inscribe the Lei Xiang star pattern to test.

Dachen Wan Yi, Da Chen National Dao Academy.

Not long after Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao returned from the Star River Command Mansion meeting secret realm, he convened a high-level meeting of the National Dao Academy again.

This counterattack plan on the ancestral cave heaven is extremely important.

There are some things he must arrange and explain in advance.

Including the sixth-tier and seventh-tier forces participating in the war, he must prepare candidates now and do a good job of strengthening training!

Just as he was discussing with Left Libationer Meng Yanhui and others, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's expression suddenly froze, he stood up abruptly, looked at the distant sky, and the massive divine soul aura began to rise slowly.

A breath later, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao suddenly smiled, "This person has come really fast."

The next instant, inside the Da Chen National Dao Academy, Elder Peng, whose cultivation was second only to the Grand Master, suddenly changed his face, "Eighth tier, there is an eighth-tier aura, and it's the eighth-tier peak!"

At the same moment, Star Patrol Guard Grand Commandant Pei Ze turned into starlight and landed, "Grand Master, an eighth-tier peak expert has arrived, you and I together..."

Cheng Yuexiao waved his hand to stop him, looking at the eighth-tier peak aura getting closer and closer in the distant sky, "This is Palace Master Luo of the Sumeru Palace! Elder Peng, you sit in the Star-Plucking Tower to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the fire."

"Grand Commandant Pei, I will go and meet Palace Master Luo. You help me guard the formation, and without my order, you must not take action!"

"Yes!"

The next instant, the Nine-Sheng Chime appeared, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao suddenly stepped on the stars and rose, instantly turning into a stream of light and rushing toward the incomparably massive aura in the sky. At the same time, his voice sounded like rolling thunder.

"Palace Master Luo, coming from afar is a guest, Cheng is here to welcome you!"

"Hahahaha, Grand Master Cheng, Luo is being abrupt!"

In just a blink of an eye, the two had rushed above the nine-heaven clouds. The moment they covered their faces, the space in front of Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao suddenly cracked inch by inch like a spider web!

Earth-yellow starlight fell like a mountain, and the spatial star power that split the space was directly bombarded into powder!

"Grand Master has good means, try another move from Luo!"

Silver starlight instantly rushed toward Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao like a comet. Wherever it passed, the cloud layer space was completely split, appearing a kind of extremely strange fracture zone.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's ten fingers flicked, and strands of starlight of different colors gathered together like threading flowers, meeting this silver starlight.

As if mending, and as if breaking open, under the bombardment of this four-colored starlight torrent, it actually fought to a draw with the silver starlight.

In the distant void, a few faint sounds of surprise came.

Because Cheng Yuexiao's cultivation was only at the eighth-tier middle stage.

And the Sumeru Palace Master was at the eighth-tier peak cultivation.

They originally thought that as soon as they started, Cheng Yuexiao would use the town-state Dao artifact Nine-Sheng Chime, but now, without using the Nine-Sheng Chime, they actually fought to a draw.

This requires re-examining Cheng Yuexiao's combat power!

The two went back and forth, fighting in the nine heavens until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the starlight was shattered.

A quarter of an hour later, Sumeru Palace Master Luo Xian suddenly laughed long, "Grand Master Cheng, why don't we play something real!"

"Good!"

Almost while speaking, Cheng Yuexiao wiped continuously like wiping a zither. Every time he wiped, a four-colored meteor bombarded out.

For a time, four-colored meteors bombarded toward the Sumeru Palace Master one after another in the sky.

The Sumeru Palace Master was also not afraid. The spatial star power directly turned into a silver battle knife that pierced the void. Every time the battle knife slashed down, a four-colored meteor was shattered!

The battle knife slashed down like thunder.

After eleven slashes in a row, the moment eleven four-colored meteors were shattered, the silver battle knife took advantage of this moment to slash one more time. This slashed silver knife light turned into hundreds of silver spatial moon wheels and slashed toward Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao from all directions.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's ten fingers flew, continuing to bombard the four-colored meteors to attack the Sumeru Palace Master, while simultaneously flicking starlight to bombard these hundreds of silver spatial moon wheels!

But these silver moon wheels were fast and swift.

In the end, two silver moon wheels slashed onto Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao like thunder.

One slashed open Cheng Yuexiao's defense, and the other slashed directly on Cheng Yuexiao's chest, tearing Cheng Yuexiao's chest clothes and slashing Cheng Yuexiao back three steps.

Opposite, the Sumeru Palace Master had just slashed another four-colored meteor, and the smile on his face had just emerged, when a pitch-black, water-bucket-thick thunder light suddenly exploded from the shattered four-colored meteor, directly shattering the Sumeru Palace's defense and bombarding the Sumeru Palace Master's face.

In an instant, the Sumeru Palace Master's beard and hair were scorched black, and he retreated two steps.

The smile that had just emerged on his face suddenly froze and became awkward.

The two stopped at the same time!

"Da Chen Grand Master... really extraordinary!"

"Palace Master Luo's spatial star technique is also extraordinary!"

In an instant, the clouds split in the sky quickly merged and returned to clarity.

The two great experts also bowed to each other in the sky.

"Visiting today was a bit hasty. In the future, I will definitely bring heavy gifts to visit the Da Chen Grand Master again." After speaking, the Sumeru Palace Master, with scorched beard and hair, bowed to Cheng Yuexiao, turned around, and instantly turned into silver starlight and went away.

"Palace Master Luo, go well, I won't send you off!"

Da Chen Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao also bowed to send him off, and the Nine-Sheng Chime on his head flickered slightly.

In this battle, the Da Chen town-state Dao artifact Nine-Sheng Chime suspended on his head, although it appeared, it was never used!

The few auras peeking in the void also retracted at the same moment and went away quickly.

Each had surprise.

Inside the imperial palace, there were also people who were dumbfounded and shocked!

At this point, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the stars and landed slowly, returning to the Da Chen National Dao Academy!

But when he landed in the Danxia Palace, his face turned pale!
