Chapter 388

Inside the cave heaven of the Ancestral Land of the Eight Desolations aliens, the special envoy Ju Zhang was busy and overwhelmed.

The unsealed Ancestral Land cave heaven had fused with a total of eight star regions, and now two months had passed, and the Ancestral Land cave heaven had completely fused with these eight star regions into one.

Now, it had been renamed the Eight Desolations Continent.

It could be considered to have stood firm completely; the Ancestral Land cave heaven, which had fused with the various star regions, normally speaking, unless a very powerful Ninth Tier swept over, would no longer be in danger of shattering.

The eight star regions were connected together, with a population of over one billion, and the territory was extremely vast.

Now, at the speed of the special envoy Ju Zhang, flying from the east end of the Eight Desolations Continent to the west end would take a whole day.

Because of the fusion of the Ancestral Land cave heaven, the shackles of heaven and earth that had integrated into the star regions were thoroughly resolved; it could be said that every day there were people among the subordinates breaking through, and their strength was constantly leaping.

But the problems brought about also made the special envoy Ju Zhang feel like he wanted to explode.

Eight star regions, each with at least three or four types of clans, and at most five or six, now mixed together, there were forty or fifty types of clans.

In a small star region, they could fight until their dog brains came out.

Now that they had initially formed a piece, big wars and small wars were constant, and even some city lords were involved in the conflicts.

Making the special envoy Ju Zhang exhausted from mediating these every day.

Up to now, he hadn't even calculated the approximate number of the total population.

This was also the fundamental reason why the special envoy Ju Zhang could not attack at the current stage.

He needed time.

He needed time to let the various clans fuse together, and needed time to thoroughly integrate.

Of course, most importantly, he also needed to fuse two to five more star regions.

After fusing two to five more star regions, combined with the Ancestral Land cave heaven and his special connection, his cultivation could be enhanced all the way to the Eighth Tier Ninth Layer peak, and he might even have a chance to break through to the Ninth Tier.

However, besides quantity, quality was also needed.

Among the two to five star regions, at least three or four Sixth Tier star regions were needed, or multiple Fifth Tier star regions plus a Sixth Tier star region, to thoroughly complete his strategic deployment.

But the difficulty of fusing a Sixth Tier star region was several times that of a Fifth Tier star region.

The main difficulty still lay with the actual ruler of the Sixth Tier star region.

The actual ruler of a Fifth Tier star region had a cultivation of at most Sixth Tier Ninth Layer peak, and he could send a Fifth Tier Ninth Layer peak messenger inside.

Under this cultivation gap, some secret treasures he brought, such as Seventh Tier star cores, could allow the messenger to suppress these alien kings, and then complete the integration and final connection and fusion.

But a Sixth Tier star region was different.

Inside a Sixth Tier star region, the strongest was a Seventh Tier Ninth Layer peak alien, and he could send a Sixth Tier Ninth Layer peak messenger inside at most.

However, secret treasures capable of suppressing Seventh Tier Ninth Layer peak elites out of thin air were too rare; even though he came from the Holy Clan, besides the life-saving treasures he carried, he had no more.

Previously, he tentatively sent a team of messengers to a Sixth Tier star region, and within two days of entering, they were all wiped out.

Not even a message was transmitted back.

Recently, he had been fully preparing for this matter.

In two directions: one was to improve the certainty of the messengers sent to the Sixth Tier star region.

Choosing some elites whose cultivation was about to reach the Sixth Tier Ninth Layer peak or was already at the Sixth Tier Ninth Layer peak, and letting them break through immediately after entering the Sixth Tier star region.

The other direction was to continue looking for Fifth Tier star regions with high certainty to connect and fuse.

The 'casting a wide net' thing could no longer be done.

Casting a wide net also had a price.

Every time he sent out a messenger, he had to inject two points of the Ancestral Land cave heaven's world origin into the Holy Clan Gold Order.

Because only in this way could the Altar Heavenly Road be activated to connect and fuse toward the Ancestral Land cave heaven side.

Previously, thirty messengers took away a full sixty percent of the world will of the Ancestral Land cave heaven, and in the end, only a little over thirty percent returned.

Recently, he secretly sent elites to the lost star regions to search for the Holy Clan Gold Order, but only found four back.

The world will of the Ancestral Land cave heaven was ultimately lost by twenty percent.

There was also the unlucky first Fifth Tier star region; in his anxiety, he remotely injected ten percent of the Ancestral Land cave heaven's world origin, and as a result, it was lost.

Another ten percent was lost.

He possessed a total of seventy-five percent of the Ancestral Land cave heaven's world will.

Now, thirty percent had already been lost.

It could not be lost anymore.

He had to ensure the certainty of the connection and fusion of every star region that followed.

Actually, the loss of the Ancestral Land cave heaven's world will was not terrible; what was terrible was that the lost Ancestral Land cave heaven world will fell into the hands of one person.

What he knew was that the young man of the human race possessed fourteen percent of the Ancestral Land cave heaven's world will.

This person, through the intelligence network of the Blood God Sect, had already been investigated for some basic information; his name was Qi Qi Tian Sheng, and he was a cultivator of the present world's Da Chen.

He had already been listed on his must-kill list.

As long as there was a chance, this person must be killed.

The lost Ancestral Land cave heaven world will must be taken back!

Otherwise, if things went wrong, he would have managed the Ancestral Land cave heaven well, only to have done it for someone else's benefit!

"Lord, just received news that of the four teams sent out to explore the Sixth Tier star region, three teams were killed, and one team was captured!" The report from his capable subordinate Ju Ling made the special envoy Ju Zhang frown slightly.

Just as he was frowning, a small tripod inside the special envoy Ju Zhang's Upper Shang Xinggong suddenly trembled.

It was the life-protecting treasure that the special envoy Ju Zhang brought to this world, and also the supreme treasure for connecting with the Ancestral Land cave heaven: the Eight Desolations Tripod.

As the Eight Desolations Tripod trembled, he saw a ray of starlight emerging from a distant void, striving to get closer to the Eight Desolations Tripod.

The special envoy Ju Zhang's eyes widened suddenly!

"A star region has opened the Altar Heavenly Road and is connecting toward the Ancestral Land cave heaven? Do we still have messengers lost outside?" The special envoy Ju Zhang asked in surprise.

"This... Lord, of the previous messengers, four were in a state of lost contact.

Because of long-term lost contact and no response from the Holy Clan Gold Order, they were judged to be dead." Ju Ling said.

"Go, follow me to take a look!"

The next instant, the special envoy Ju Zhang soared into the sky, Ju Ling followed quickly, and an hour and a half later, they arrived at the edge limit of the Eight Desolations Continent.

Looking with all his might, it was all endless chaotic starlight.

But within this chaotic starlight, one could faintly see a brilliant belt of starlight spreading toward here.

"It really is!"

The special envoy Ju Zhang looked at this scene and instantly became happy.

"Watch it; if this succeeds, we can be much more relaxed.

When we can contact them in a while, contact them to confirm their identity, encourage them, and let them work harder to succeed in connecting as soon as possible." The special envoy Ju Zhang ordered.

"Subordinate obeys."

After replying, Ju Ling hesitated again, "Lord, what if they ask for help?"

"How can we help? After the Altar Heavenly Road is raised, besides world origin, there is no way to help!

Cannot help!

Tell them to find a way themselves."

Remembering the ten percent of world origin that was pitted away in his anxiety during the first star region, Ju Zhang completely rejected the idea of helping.

World origin could not be lost anymore.

"Lord, subordinate understands." *****

In the Fifth Tier Orchid Mountain Star Region, Xu Jin and the others had raised the Altar Heavenly Road, and it had already been a day.

However, they didn't let everyone start cultivating, because the Altar Heavenly Road needed to be raised to a certain height before they could take out the Heaven and Earth Star Will, let the star power flow back down, and start cultivating.

Of the six strands of Heaven and Earth Star Will, Xu Jin only took out two, and let the star power flow back down; in an instant, the star power inside the Altar Heavenly Road became extremely abundant.

"Begin."

At Xu Jin's command, the group began to cultivate.

Ning Yuchan, Ji Hongli, Hou Yunzhang, and others who had experienced it many times didn't need to be told; they directly took out the Star Gathering Array Disk and began to cultivate. Others who were new, such as Ying Ge, Yang Miaozhen, and the four members of the Sword Hero Mercenary Team, including Yuan Jing, the captain of the personal guard brought by Ning Yuchan, all followed suit, starting to cultivate with confusion.

But just a few minutes into their cultivation, everyone's eyes widened suddenly.

Could this star power concentration be any more exaggerated?

While everyone started cultivating, Xu Jin sank his mind into his Middle Shang Xinggong; while the Origin Spirit Fetal Light in his Upper Shang Xinggong shone brightly, all of Xu Jin's divine soul power poured into his Middle Shang Xinggong.

Each star core was attached with a wisp of divine soul power.

This was the reason why breaking through to the Fifth Tier required a certain divine soul cultivation.

For ordinary people, divine soul power attached to ten star cores was already very tense.

Let alone thirty-six star cores.

If ordinary people condensed too many star cores, and their divine soul cultivation was not powerful enough, then there was only one possibility: the time to break through to the Fifth Tier would be postponed indefinitely.

Or even be unable to break through for life.

But here with Xu Jin, the massive divine soul power wrapped every star core, and there was even energy to spare.

For a moment, Xu Jin wanted to condense a few more star cores.

According to his divine soul power, adding ten or so more was still possible.

But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

Don't be too greedy.

This path was known to have never been walked by predecessors; don't overdo it and cause an inability to break through in the later stages, which would be troublesome.

"Rise!"

The next instant, the thirty-six star cores in the Middle Shang Xinggong suddenly rotated in one direction simultaneously, with the Thunder Source star core as the core of the core, and the thirty-six star cores rotated at the same frequency.

The next moment, the thirty-six star cores condensed into a whole in an instant; the moment massive star power poured in, Xu Jin's mind moved, and he once again activated the thirty-six Great Star Gathering Patterns that served as the foundation star patterns.

This was why the foundation star patterns had to be unified.

The moment the thirty-six Great Star Gathering Patterns were activated, they resonated at the same frequency; in the process of resonance, under the drive of Xu Jin's divine soul thought power, the thirty-six Great Star Gathering Patterns seemed to sprout, extending one after another vein-like star pattern extension lines.

Massive star power continued to pour in, constantly fusing between the thirty-six star cores.

And these thirty-six Great Star Gathering Patterns were like spiders weaving a web; those sprouted star pattern extension lines began to entangle and weave together rapidly. In a quarter of an hour, they wove into an extremely dense large web.

And in a place invisible to Xu Jin's naked eye, the thirty-six Great Star Gathering Patterns were still constantly weaving and fusing.

Under the fusion of the foundation star patterns, the thirty-six star cores also completely condensed into one piece, and the star power began to fuse and connect; the thirty-six star cores had previously been divided into thirty-six individuals.

But now, they rapidly fused into one.

Xu Jin continued to use divine soul power to drive the Great Star Gathering Patterns to complete the fusion.

Although it looked fused on the surface, in Xu Jin's sensing, there were many subtle places that had not been thoroughly fused and needed time to thoroughly fuse.

If he stopped here, it would bury hidden dangers for the future.

This lasted for a full hour and a half.

An hour and a half later, as Xu Jin breathed, inside the Middle Shang Xinggong, with the thirty-six stars as veins, just by willing it, the star power quickly passed through like a rolling torrent, and then reached the star pattern he willed.

Without any obstruction, it was extremely smooth.

"It's done!"

Fifth Tier achieved!

Inside the Middle Shang Xinggong, a small star river like a star battle was straddling there, and the thirty-six star cores, like stars, were all dragging tail flames while rotating slowly.

Just by willing it, the star power began to operate rapidly like a vast river.

Previously, Xu Jin could call upon the power of at most one star core at a time.

But now, with one thought, he could call upon the power of thirty-six star cores!

The star power was extremely majestic.

Theoretically, after Xu Jin broke through to the Fifth Tier, the total amount of star power injected into a star art could increase by a maximum of thirty-six times.

Of course, this was just a theory.

The maximum amount of star power that could be driven also had a relationship with divine soul power and star art rank.

But the gap had indeed appeared.

Ordinary Fifth Tier cultivators, even if they drove it to the extreme, could only call upon the star power of ten star cores, but Xu Jin, if he drove it to the extreme, could call upon the star power of thirty-six star cores at once.

The upper limit was completely different.

And now, it was different.

In Xu Jin's feeling just now, if he fully displayed a certain star art, he could call upon the power of twelve star cores at once.

Purely in terms of the quantity of star power, under the full drive of one star art, it was twelve times higher than before.

However, the power of a star art was not purely based on star power; otherwise, star patterns would be useless, and one could just pile up star power.

But no matter what, with such a large increase in the star power driven, the power of a star art increasing by two or three times should be no problem.

That is to say, after breaking through to the Fifth Tier, it was no problem for Xu Jin's star art power to double.

It was even possible for it to triple.

After this wave of cultivation ended, he could test it well.

Previously, two star arts were enough to kill a Sixth Tier Ninth Layer powerhouse.

Then now, one was enough!

Or even stronger!

The improvement was very obvious!

But for Xu Jin, the improvement had only just begun!

The next instant, the entire star battle accelerated its rotation again, and in an instant, massive star power surged into the Altar Heavenly Road.

The star power aura of the entire star battle was rapidly strengthening.

But after cultivating for only half an hour, Xu Jin knew that he was correct not to have cast more star cores before.

His star core count increased to thirty-six, and he broke through to the Fifth Tier; his star core count was nearly four times that of others, and his star art power was also far stronger than others.

But the price was that when breaking through to the Fifth Tier, the difficulty of enhancing his cultivation was also nearly four times that of others.

Xu Jin understood and grasped this point completely.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is always like this!

How much strength you have, you do that much work.

But similarly, if you do more work, you also eat more!

Effort and harvest are sometimes not necessarily proportional.

But if you want to have a harvest, you must have effort!

An hour later, Xu Jin sank his mind into his Lower Shang Xinggong!

Since the Middle Shang Xinggong had broken through, why not break through the Lower Shang Xinggong to the Fifth Tier in one go!
