Chapter 422: Direction and Five Elements Divine Thunder

The easiest thing for Ning Yuchan to improve currently was her Star Qi cultivation.

Ning Yuchan could take one or two Myriad Blood Spirit Pills, and she could also use a few of the newly obtained Jing Beads.

If Xu Jin could sweep and slay a few more Golden Pillar alien Seventh Tier experts in the Seven Kills Secret Realm, especially the Seventh Tier Golden Pillar alien experts, then he estimated he could obtain a few more Seventh Tier Jing Beads.

The actual effect of using Jing Beads for cultivation was unknown, but according to the Sixth Tier captive from before,

Sixth Tier Jing Beads could allow a Fifth Tier cultivator to improve by one or two layers of cultivation, and it took more than ten of them for a Sixth Tier cultivator to improve by one layer of cultivation.

Under roughly similar circumstances, it was no problem to pile Ning Yuchan's Star Qi cultivation to the peak of the Fifth Tier, Ninth Layer.

Whether she could break through to the Sixth Tier in a short time depended on Ning Yuchan's own accumulation and comprehension.

However, if her Star Qi cultivation was improved to the peak of the Fifth Tier, Ninth Layer, or even broke through to the early or mid-stage of the Sixth Tier, was there a possibility of slaying the current Sun Fujia?

No!

At most, defeat him.

If Sun Fujia's cultivation also improved significantly, even defeating him would be somewhat difficult!

However, Ning Yuchan's Star Qi cultivation improvement speed was definitely faster than Sun Fujia's; this was an advantage.

The gap in strength would shrink to a certain extent.

Therefore, improving Ning Yuchan's Star Qi cultivation was a must.

The second direction to improve strength was to improve Divine Soul cultivation.

Actually, Ning Yuchan's Divine Soul cultivation had been improving all along.

Xu Jin had exchanged Long Gui Duan Po Pills with Ning Yuchan several times before, Xu Jin took back the ordinary ones and gave Ning Yuchan the three-rhyme ones.

So Ning Yuchan's Divine Soul cultivation had been improving very quickly recently, and it was already at the Fourth Tier, Sixth Layer.

Just right, Xu Jin had several Fifth Tier Divine Soul-type spiritual herbs obtained from Emperor Qian'an in his hands, which had already finished nourishing on the Arena.

Letting Ning Yuchan's Divine Soul cultivation break through to the Fifth Tier and condense a Primordial Spirit was not a big problem.

However, after condensing a Primordial Spirit, could it let Ning Yuchan slay Sun Fujia?

No!

At most, it would just give Ning Yuchan a slightly better winning percentage, so she wouldn't be affected by Sun Fujia's Divine Soul secret arts.

Because Sun Fujia's Divine Soul cultivation was already at the peak of the Fourth Tier, Ninth Layer, and he could break through to the Fifth Tier and condense a Primordial Spirit at any time.

For Sun Fujia, he shouldn't be lacking such resources.

Both of these directions had to be improved, but even after improvement, it still wouldn't allow Ning Yuchan to slay Sun Fujia head-on.

There was a third direction to improve Ning Yuchan's strength, and that was Star Patterns.

But the problem was that Ning Yuchan mainly cultivated the Metal element, and currently, her Metal Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern had already been deduced by herself to the Eighth Tier, which was very strong.

Even if it was deduced to the Eighth Tier, the improvement range would be very limited.

As for teaching Ning Yuchan other types of Star Patterns, such as Thunder, Earth, or Fire, Xu Jin didn't want to for the time being.

It wasn't that he didn't want to; he had mentioned it to Ning Yuchan before, and Ning Yuchan had indicated that she only mainly cultivated the Metal element!

Learning too many things was not necessarily a good thing.

Most people needed several days or even ten days to half a month to learn a new Star Pattern.

Ning Yuchan's choice was actually very correct.

Ning Yuchan had a clear understanding of cultivation direction, and Xu Jin didn't want to interfere.

The remaining Metal Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern was an excellent choice.

After the previous Earth Elephant, Fire Elephant, and Thunder Lei Lei Xiangxing Patterns were deduced to the Eighth Tier, they all obtained special powers like Nine Heavens Thunder Rhyme that could powerfully bless and improve their power.

This was a direction with great certainty.

If the Metal Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern could be deduced to the Eighth Tier, or even the Eighth Tier, then Ning Yuchan could accumulate one or two strands of Metal-element Rhyme power every day.

If she accumulated for a few months, if she could hit, it was highly likely to be a one-hit kill.

Especially Ning Yuchan's newly learned Metal-element Giant Bow Star Art, which was very practical.

Incidentally, he could also teach Ning Yuchan a few more Star Arts from the Imperial Object School of his Uncle Mo Ji.

With various enhancements, the probability of slaying Sun Fujia was still very high.

In an instant, Xu Jin found the direction.

Currently, not counting the Seventh Tier, to deduce the Metal Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern to the Eighth Tier required one Brilliant Star, and to the Eighth Tier, it required two.

Xu Jin still had one Brilliant Star in his hands, and he had to save up for another one.

However, deducing the Metal Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern was also of great use to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin had already thought of the usage of the Metal Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern.

The very practical Star Art, Angry Spear, could likely be fused with the power of the Metal Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern, and its lethality would skyrocket.

And his simple and direct Imperial Object Star Art—if he blessed the sword light with Metal-element Star Qi, the power might increase exponentially.

The first characteristic of Metal-element Star Arts was that they were incomparably sharp.

Having found the direction, Xu Jin instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want his loved ones to have regrets for the rest of their lives.

Actually, there was a fourth direction to improve Ning Yuchan's combat power and let her slay Sun Fujia with her own hands: external objects!

One of the first choices for external objects was emblems.

But currently, the highest production rank for emblems was the Sixth Tier; after nourishment, their power would double, and four or five nourished Sixth Tier emblems could easily bombard and slay a Seventh Tier early-stage expert.

If, like Emperor Qian'an, twenty or thirty nourished emblems were bombarded out at once, it was possible to slay Seventh Tier mid-to-late-stage experts.

But the premise was that they had to hit.

That depended on luck.

Sun Fujia's flexible use of the Seven Kills Dragon-Escaping Stake during the battle made this move somewhat difficult!

However, if Ning Yuchan could get a Seven-Star Spirit Treasure-level battle bow, her combat power would definitely increase greatly.

But Seven-Star Spirit Treasures were too hard to come by, and it still depended on opportunity.

With all-around enhancement, the probability was still very high.

Ning Yuchan's matter could be considered to have a strategy.

In the process of reflection and review, Xu Jin also discovered his own shortcomings.

Xu Jin's first shortcoming, and also his biggest shortcoming, was actually his cultivation realm.

Whether it was Divine Soul or Star Patterns, Xu Jin wouldn't dare say he was the most top-tier, but he was in the first tier of the current age.

If his Star Qi cultivation realm could keep up, he could roam the world at the Seventh Tier, and suppress the current age at the Eighth Tier.

However, Star Qi cultivation was the result of long-term accumulation.

What Xu Jin lacked most was time.

Fortunately, besides the large amount of Star Qi left in the white residual bones, he had recently obtained Jing Beads; as long as he had time, Xu Jin's cultivation could still improve quickly.

Xu Jin's second shortcoming was Star Arts.

He still didn't have that kind of trump card that could settle the battle with one strike.

Under his current cultivation, the Star Arts he knew were still very powerful.

But he lacked a major power Star Art that could unleash his strength all at once.

Whether in terms of Divine Soul Star Arts or Star Qi Star Arts.

Xu Jin's strongest Divine Soul Star Arts were Killing Dream and Startling Dream.

Killing Dream was very strong, and its upper limit was very high; if there was an opportunity, it could easily slay Eighth Tier experts, but its lower limit was also very low.

As long as the opponent woke up, or had experienced a scene similar to the Seven Kills Secret Realm's Heart Demon Killing, it would fail.

Startling Dream was a Star Art Xu Jin had deduced himself.

It was very strong.

For those who hadn't condensed a Primordial Spirit, it could directly hard-control them for one to several breaths.

But once the target condensed a Primordial Spirit, the hard-control time became very short.

It could even only affect them for an instant.

Just like when he fought Sun Fujia earlier, it only affected him for an instant.

Used correctly, its effect was very strong.

Earlier, he slew Sun Fujia three times in a row using Startling Dream.

But at the same time, it also exposed the weakness of Startling Dream.

Its lethality was still insufficient.

If it were strong enough, with Xu Jin's current Divine Soul cultivation, he should have bombarded his Divine Soul until it collapsed.

He wouldn't even have a chance to substitute his death and be reborn.

Xu Jin highly suspected that the chance to substitute death and be reborn in the Seven Kills Secret Realm did not include the dissipation of the Divine Soul Primordial Spirit.

Divine Soul Star Arts were always extremely rare.

Xu Jin had that many Divine Soul Star Arts in his hands. After thinking for a long time, Xu Jin selected a direction.

Breaking Evil Star Art!

If the most basic Breaking Evil Star Art from before was deduced to the Eighth Tier, according to the previous pattern, a special Star Art would inevitably appear.

If it appeared, its lethality would inevitably far exceed the current one.

As for Star Qi Star Arts, Xu Jin had long had a direction.

After deducing the Thunder Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern to the Eighth Tier, he obtained the special Star Art, Five Elements Divine Thunder.

Currently, Xu Jin had only practiced three types of Divine Thunder: Bing Fire Divine Thunder, Wu Earth Divine Thunder, and Geng Metal Divine Thunder.

Among them, Geng Metal Divine Thunder used the Metal Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, which was only at the Sixth Tier.

Although Ning Yuchan gave Xu Jin the Eighth Tier Metal Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, including Metal Elephant, he had never comprehended them.

He was still missing Gui Gui Shui Shenlei and Yi Wood Divine Thunder.

Xu Jin had obtained the Water Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern and Wood Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, but he had never had time to practice them; of course, their rank was not too high either.

In terms of Star Qi Star Arts, Xu Jin prepared to learn Gui Gui Shui Shenlei and Yi Wood Divine Thunder.

Even if the Water Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern and Wood Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern were of quite low rank, they could still combine into Five Elements Divine Thunder.

By then, the power would definitely skyrocket.

It could be considered another major trump card.

Earth-element Falling Star, Earth Origin Magnetism, and Angry Spear—if they were coordinated with Metal-element ones in the future, they would also be a major trump card.

As for Fire-element Star Arts, the Great Sun Star Art he had improved himself was very powerful, but it was still lacking a bit, and needed to be slowly deduced and researched.

As for Wood-element and Water-element ones, currently, they could only be auxiliary.

While flying, Xu Jin, having finished his review, let out a long breath, feeling a sense of sudden enlightenment.

The direction was clear.

Next, as long as he had time, he would work hard in this direction, and he would have gains.

However, Xu Jin was looking forward to the inheritance of the Seven Kills True Person.

If he finally obtained the inheritance of the Seven Kills True Person, what kind of surprise would the inheritance of the Seven Kills True Person bring him?

Suddenly, Xu Jin frowned slightly.

He had been tracking and flying for a full half-hour based on the guidance of Heavenly Human Sensing, and he still hadn't tracked down the whereabouts of the tenth Seven Kills Token.

This made a bad premonition rise in Xu Jin's heart.

It had definitely been obtained by someone, and perhaps even people from the same faction had gathered together.

After a hundred breaths, the aura of the tenth Seven Kills Token suddenly became clear.

Xu Jin instantly decelerated and landed, directly turning invisible, and then approached cautiously.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin discovered a group of people cultivating inside a large formation.

The leader was the Wood Spirit Palace's Seventh Tier genius Hou Ziang, with a cultivation at the Seventh Tier mid-stage; around him, there were also one Seventh Tier expert, eight Sixth Tier experts, and two Fifth Tier experts, totaling twelve people.

At this time, under the protection of a large formation, they were all cultivating.

The aura of the tenth Seven Kills Token was emanating from one of the people among them.

The Mingji Star Pattern was sensing this group of people from three thousand meters away, when suddenly, the strongest Hou Ziang suddenly opened his eyes and looked vigilantly in all directions.

The next instant, Xu Jin, who was invisible, retreated.

If there was only one Seventh Tier Hou Ziang, Xu Jin would highly likely try it.

Especially the fourth-layer Seven Kills Dragon-Escaping Stake that Xu Jin had comprehended; as long as he laid it out in advance, even if Hou Ziang had Eighth Tier combat power, Xu Jin could still escape alive.

However, two Seventh Tier experts and eight Sixth Tier experts were all geniuses of the Wood Spirit Palace; if Xu Jin rushed in rashly, it would be equivalent to sending himself to death.

Of the ten Seven Kills Tokens, Xu Jin had eight in his hands, the Wood Spirit Palace had one, and the Mountain Chief had one.

Although it was a pity he hadn't gotten them all, then Xu Jin's grand plan could be implemented.

Now, he needed to take advantage of the Golden Pillar alien elites still searching for the Seven Kills Tokens in all directions to hunt and slay the Sixth Tier and Seventh Tier Golden Pillar aliens, and find ways to obtain more Jing Beads.

These were treasures for rapidly improving cultivation.

But then again, in such a vast Seven Kills Star Domain, wanting to just wander around randomly and bump into those Golden Pillar aliens was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The probability was hair-raisingly low!

Take out the Seven Kills Token to lure them?

After thinking about it, Xu Jin rejected this idea.

It was too dangerous.

Currently, all ten Seven Kills Tokens had owners.

Those who obtained the Seven Kills Tokens were only the Wood Spirit Palace and the Chen Guo side.

The Heavenly Yang Star Palace, Zhen'e Star Palace, Cangming Star Palace, Xumi Palace, and the Golden Pillar alien race—these five families hadn't obtained a single token.

Currently, this fifth stage of the Seven Kills had already started for more than half a day.

If another half a day or a day passed, and these families still hadn't found the whereabouts of the Seven Kills Tokens,

they would go crazy.

By then, revealing the aura of the Seven Kills Token would attract concentrated fire.

If one was not careful, they would be wiped out.

This move wouldn't work.

After thinking it over, Xu Jin finally set his mind on Heavenly Human Sensing.

He also wanted to try his luck.

It was just that what disappointed Xu Jin was that after activating the Heavenly Human Sensing Star Art, there was no reaction.

But then Xu Jin reacted; he directly activated the Heavenly Human Sensing Star Art, what use could it have?

He didn't have a direction himself, so how could he let Heavenly Human Sensing give him a little hint?

The next instant, Xu Jin forcefully visualized the Golden Pillar alien race in his heart.

Extremely forcefully.

He even visualized the appearance of one Golden Pillar alien after another with golden horns in his heart.

While visualizing, he activated the Heavenly Human Sensing Star Art again.

The next moment, when sensing in all directions, the feedback he got was different.

Some were strong, some were weak!

Xu Jin decisively rushed toward the strongest direction.

A quarter of an hour later, he discovered a lone Seventh Tier early-stage Golden Pillar alien.

From afar, Xu Jin discovered this Seventh Tier early-stage Golden Pillar alien.

Xu Jin played a trick.

When Xu Jin discovered that this Seventh Tier Golden Pillar alien had discovered him, he instantly acted panicked and confused, turning around and fleeing.

Of course, before this, Xu Jin had already changed his appearance with the Hundred Illusions Star Art, and even changed his clothes.

After all, the deterrence of the Fifth Tier, Third Layer Qi Qi Tian Sheng from before was too great for them.

The next instant, this Seventh Tier early-stage Golden Pillar alien was overjoyed.

Roaring excitedly, he chased after Xu Jin.

Xu Jin deliberately slowed his speed to the Fifth Tier late-stage level.

In less than three breaths, he was caught up to by this Seventh Tier early-stage Golden Pillar alien!

The next moment, Xu Jin instantly turned around and accelerated.

Five-fold Flowing Shimmer!

Yellow Dragon Sword in hand!

Mountain Moving Star Art blessing.

Swish!

The moment the sound of breaking air rang out, at the moment a look of astonishment appeared on this Golden Pillar alien's face, he had already been decapitated by Xu Jin with one sword!

After one breath, Xu Jin happily put the golden horn he had cut off into his Sumeru space; this was a good treasure.

After taking it back, a Sixth Tier supreme-grade star weapon was guaranteed.

Spending one breath of time, Xu Jin pulled out this guy's Sumeru space.

The moment his mind sank in, he was instantly overjoyed.

Other star jade tablets, Fourth and Fifth Tier heavenly materials, he had harvested a portion.

The Seventh Tier Jing Beads Xu Jin wanted most, he had two.

Sixth Tier Jing Beads, he had seven.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin activated Heavenly Human Sensing again and rushed toward the next direction.
