Chapter 440

The huge improvement in Xu Jin's current strength was also reflected when challenging the Zhai Xing Secret Realm.

When his cultivation had just broken through to the Fifth-Tier, challenging the Golden Star-level gatekeeper and the inner demon was still a back-and-forth battle.

Now, it was a kill in seconds!

The Five-Element Divine Thunder bombarded down, and with just one strike, it was a direct kill in seconds.

Whether it was the Golden Star-level gatekeeper or the Golden Star-level inner demon, it was the same.

When challenging the Bright Star, Xu Jin deliberately tested his current defensive ability of the Fish Curtain Golden Bell.

He let the Sixth-Tier Fourth-Layer Golden Star-level inner demon and gatekeeper besiege him.

The Fish Curtain Golden Bell held on for one and a half breaths before it was shattered.

And the Fish Curtain Golden Bell was only one layer of armor that Xu Jin had stacked.

After the challenge, the number of golden stars in Xu Jin's hand changed from zero to two, and the number of bright stars changed from one to two.

After the challenge ended, Xu Jin didn't waste time either and directly took out a Seventh-Tier Purification Bead to cultivate.

When cultivating at the Sixth Level, the Sixth-Tier Purification Beads had been consumed until there was only one left, but Xu Jin still had four and a half Seventh-Tier Purification Beads in his hand.

According to the captives of the Jin Zhu alien race, the star power content within the Seventh-Tier Purification Beads was at least ten times that of the Sixth-Tier Purification Beads.

But that was just the minimum.

Because the sources of the star cores used to make the Purification Beads were different, the star power contained within them was also different.

The sources of star cores within the Jin Zhu alien race not only came from enemies but also from their own clansmen who died in battle.

The star power contained in the star cores obtained from ordinary aliens or enemies was naturally average, while the star cores obtained from the bodies of elites or top powerhouses were naturally extraordinary.

However, it was mainly based on ordinary Purification Beads.

Theoretically, the four and a half Purification Beads in Xu Jin's hand meant that he possessed at least forty-five or more Sixth-Tier Purification Beads.

Under current circumstances, about seven Sixth-Tier Purification Beads could improve Xu Jin's cultivation by one layer.

The cultivation speed using Seventh-Tier Purification Beads was extremely fast.

In just half an hour, the cultivation of Xu Jin's middle and lower star palaces simultaneously broke through to the Fifth-Tier Fifth Layer.

One day later, using only one Purification Bead, the cultivation of Xu Jin's middle and lower star palaces simultaneously reached the peak of the Fifth-Tier Fifth Layer.

His luck was not bad; this Purification Bead possessed the star power contained in fourteen Sixth-Tier Purification Beads.

Continue to challenge the Zhai Xing Secret Realm.

Under the Five-Element Divine Thunder, it was still a kill in seconds.

On July 15th, the four and a half Purification Beads in Xu Jin's hand were all consumed.

The cultivation of Xu Jin's middle and lower star palaces also surged to the mid-Fifth-Tier Eighth Layer.

Four and a half Purification Beads allowed Xu Jin's cultivation to improve directly by three and a half layers.

Under the blessing of the seventy-two star cores in the middle and lower star palaces, Xu Jin's star power became extremely vigorous.

Xu Jin estimated that his current star power vigor had probably reached the level of many Sixth-Tier Ninth Layer powerhouses.

After all, he had thirty-six supreme-grade star cores in his middle and lower star palaces. When he was at the Fifth-Tier Second Layer, his star power could already be compared to Hou Hou Yunzhang at the peak of the Fifth-Tier Seventh Layer.

At this time, his cultivation had already surged to the mid-Fifth-Tier Eighth Layer.

At the same time, the golden stars and bright stars that Xu Jin had harvested in the Zhai Xing Secret Realm had also accumulated a certain quantity.

The number of golden stars had reached a pleasing ten, and the number of bright stars had reached six.

However, this was not the end.

Xu Jin planned to continue improving his cultivation.

Xu Jin's original intention was that after improving his cultivation, the power of the Five-Element Divine Thunder would surge, and then with the blessing of the Nine Heavens Thunder Rhyme, Earth Heart Earth Rhyme, and Heaven and Earth Fire Rhyme, the probability of killing Ju Chu Xuan would surge. The higher the cultivation, the greater the certainty.

However, the little secret brought by the Star Spirit gave Xu Jin an idea.

Supporting for ten breaths under the phantom of the Seven Kill True Lord at the age of forty was just clearing the level.

If one could kill it, there might be a different harvest?

Being able to make an existence like the Extreme Dao Emperor judge it as a different harvest, it must be extraordinary.

Similarly, the Seven Kill True Lord's inheritance was already so precious; if there really was a different harvest, it definitely wouldn't be bad.

So, if he could do it, he should do it.

However, according to the difficulty of Xu Jin's previous battle with the Seven Kill True Lord's phantom, Xu Jin felt that the phantom of the Seven Kill True Lord at the age of forty was even stronger than the Jin Zhu alien race of the Eighth-Tier.

The only difference was that the Seven Kill True Lord's phantom, because it was just a phantom, would only use conventional means and would not use life-saving treasures.

But Ju Chu Xuan, at critical moments, would use every method to save his life.

Regardless of which one it was, Xu Jin could not kill them with his conventional means.

Under such circumstances, the blessing of the Nine Heavens Thunder Rhyme was extremely important.

And the Seventh Level of the Seven Kill would last at most forty-nine days, so the Nine Heavens Thunder Rhyme would accumulate at most one hundred and forty-seven streaks.

The quantity was limited.

How to use it, how to save it, was crucial.

Xu Jin's strategy was that killing Ju Chu Xuan was the top priority.

Only after killing Ju Chu Xuan could he become a true disciple of the Seven Kill True Lord, obtain the Seven Kill True Lord's core inheritance, and even obtain the two streaks of Earth-element and Space-element divine intent in Ju Chu Xuan's hands.

Then, he could consider trying every possible way to kill the Seven Kill True Lord's phantom.

This was the distinction between the priority and sequence of doing things.

Then he had to save as much Nine Heavens Thunder Rhyme as possible.

Then there was only one path, improving his basic cultivation, improving his conventional combat power, and improving the lethality of the Five-Element Divine Thunder.

Currently, improving his cultivation was the most direct way to improve his combat power.

Now, the Purification Beads had been consumed, but Xu Jin still had the white bone fragments from the Star Fighting True God statue obtained in the Jichuan Star Domain before.

There, it still contained about eighty percent of the star power that Xu Jin had injected into it within the Altar Heavenly Road. If he didn't use it to improve his cultivation now, when would he?

Using the star power of the white bone fragments to improve his cultivation was faster than cultivating with Purification Beads.

In just one day, the cultivation in Xu Jin's middle and lower star palaces simultaneously improved to the late Fifth-Tier Ninth Layer.

At this point, the star power within the white bone fragments had also been consumed completely.

In the short term, Xu Jin's cultivation could only be trapped at the Fifth-Tier Ninth Layer.

However, this improvement range was fast enough.

As for challenging the Zhai Xing Secret Realm, for Xu Jin, it still had no difficulty.

However, the inner demon encountered at the Fifth-Tier Fourth Layer and the inner demon encountered at the Fifth-Tier Ninth Layer still had huge changes in strength.

The inner demon at the Fifth-Tier Fourth Layer could be killed in seconds with one streak of Five-Element Divine Thunder.

The inner demon encountered at the Fifth-Tier Ninth Layer required two streaks of Five-Element Divine Thunder.

The number of golden stars also reached a pleasing twelve, and the number of bright stars reached seven.

But Xu Jin's cultivation improvement was not over yet.

Within the white bone fragments, there was also a massive amount of primordial spirit power.

Xu Jin spent half a day and also absorbed it all in one go.

It allowed the farthest linear radiation distance of Xu Jin's primordial spirit embryo light to surge from seventeen meters to nineteen meters.

But this was not over yet.

When cultivation resources are in hand, if they cannot be transformed into strength, they are garbage.

In the next instant, Xu Jin took out the Fifth-Tier primordial spirit-type spiritual medicine obtained previously.

After obtaining these Fifth-Tier primordial spirit-type spiritual medicines, Xu Jin had always been nurturing a part of them in the Arena and making comparisons.

The comparison found that the Arena also had a nurturing effect on these spiritual medicines, but the nurturing effect was not as great as that of elixirs.

Some spiritual medicines would reach their limit after nurturing for ten or eight days, some would reach their limit after nurturing for four or five days, and the aura they emitted would no longer change, while others required nurturing for a month.

This should be related to the age and type of the spiritual medicine. At this very moment, what Xu Jin took out was the Fifth-Tier spiritual medicine, the Hundred-Year Infant Spirit Ginseng, which was best for helping his primordial spirit cultivation break through to the Fifth-Tier and condense the primordial spirit.

He had obtained a total of six, and previously gave one to Ning Ning Yuchan to help her primordial spirit cultivation break through to the Fifth-Tier, the kind that had been nurtured to completion.

In the next instant, Xu Jin directly swallowed a Hundred-Year Infant Spirit Ginseng that had been nurtured to completion.

This Hundred-Year Infant Spirit Ginseng melted upon entering his mouth, instantly transforming into a cool aura that rushed straight to the upper star palace.

At the same instant, the primordial spirit in Xu Jin's upper star palace seemed to have sensed it, and its radiance shone brightly. The moment the medicinal power of the Hundred-Year Infant Spirit Ginseng rushed to the upper star palace, it was directly absorbed by Xu Jin's primordial spirit.

Xu Jin's primordial spirit became solid to the naked eye, and the primordial spirit embryo light also grew slowly to the naked eye.

Nineteen point five meters.

Twenty meters.

Twenty point five meters.

Twenty-one meters!

In the end, the medicinal power of one Hundred-Year Infant Spirit Ginseng caused Xu Jin's primordial spirit embryo light cultivation to surge again, improving to twenty-one meters.

The improvement range of two meters was about the natural growth effort of Xu Jin for a month at present.

But according to the National Master, he only improved by one meter a year.

After returning, he could give a few to the National Master to improve the National Master's cultivation again.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin swallowed the second Hundred-Year Infant Spirit Ginseng.

In the end, the primordial spirit embryo light improved to about twenty-two point five meters.

It only improved by one point five meters.

Xu Jin understood instantly; if this Fifth-Tier spiritual medicine is taken continuously, the medicinal effect will also decay.

Immediately, Xu Jin began to swallow another Fifth-Tier spiritual medicine, the Hundred-Year Yin Spirit Crystal, all obtained from seizures, and also nurtured to completion.

The medicinal effect was a bit different from the Hundred-Year Infant Spirit Ginseng.

But it was about the same.

The first one improved Xu Jin's primordial spirit embryo light radiation distance by more than two meters, and the second one improved it by one point seven meters.

Xu Jin did not continue to swallow.

If he continued to swallow, it would be a bit of a waste of this precious Fifth-Tier spiritual medicine.

In the end, the linear radiation distance of Xu Jin's primordial spirit embryo light reached a shocking twenty-six meters, already approaching the cultivation of the late primordial spirit.

The primordial spirit also looked incomparably solid.

Xu Jin's gaze, however, fell on the only Sixth-Tier primordial spirit-type spiritual medicine in his hand, the Water Cloud Soul Marrow, which had also been nurtured to completion.

Xu Jin hesitated a bit, should he swallow it?

Sixth-Tier primordial spirit-type spiritual medicines are extremely hard to come by.

They even have the miraculous effect of helping to break through bottlenecks; using it just like this is a bit of a waste.

After thinking it over, Xu Jin decided to keep this bottle of Sixth-Tier primordial spirit-type spiritual medicine first.

In the short term, the improvement range of his primordial spirit cultivation was already large enough.

When using these spiritual medicines and the primordial spirit power within the white bone fragments, the linear radiation distance of the primordial spirit embryo light was only seventeen meters; now, it had reached twenty-six meters, an improvement of more than half.

In the short term, it should be enough!

The power of primordial spirit star techniques should also have surged.

His primordial spirit cultivation should be about the same as many veteran Eighth-Tier powerhouses.

Of course, compared to top Eighth-Tier powerhouses like Star Lord Lord Tianyang, there was definitely a gap.

In the next instant, Xu Jin slowly opened his eyes.

His hard strength had already been improved to the limit in the short term.

Further up, he would need to build a Yun Tower and break through to the Sixth-Tier.

Now, if he wanted to continue improving his strength, he had to improve his soft strength.

The first soft strength that needed to be improved was the power of the Five-Element Divine Thunder.

The power of the Five-Element Divine Thunder was determined by the source-type star pattern with the lowest rank.

That is to say, if Xu Jin's Seventh-Tier low-grade Water Source star pattern was pushed to the Seventh-Tier mid-grade, then the power of Xu Jin's Five-Element Divine Thunder would improve by at least sixty percent.

Previously, Xu Jin had only used the Arena's projection to push the Seventh-Tier mid-grade Water Source star pattern to a general idea.

At this very moment, the comprehension time of the Zhai Xing Tower's Star Dome Secret Realm could also be used.

"If I enable the comprehension time of the Star Dome Secret Realm, even without using golden stars, the Seventh-Tier mid-grade Water Source star pattern will also be fast, right?"

It was just as Xu Jin expected; under the blessing of the Arena's projection and the Star Dome Secret Realm's comprehension time, in less than an hour and a half, the Seventh-Tier low-grade Water Source star pattern was pushed to the Seventh-Tier mid-grade.

Just by slightly pushing and trying, the power of Xu Jin's Five-Element Divine Thunder surged again, improving by at least sixty percent.

However, this was not enough!

The power of the Five-Element Divine Thunder still needed to continue to improve.

Currently, the Wood Source star pattern and the Water Source star pattern were both Seventh-Tier mid-grade. If he wanted to continue to improve the power of the Five-Element Divine Thunder, he needed to improve both of these star patterns to the Seventh-Tier high-grade.

The difficulty of pushing star patterns from Seventh-Tier mid-grade to Seventh-Tier high-grade increased significantly.

Especially when not using golden stars and bright stars.

Xu Jin used up all the remaining comprehension time of the Star Dome Secret Realm and spent another full half a month before he pushed the Seventh-Tier mid-grade Water Source star pattern to the Seventh-Tier high-grade in one go.

It was extremely strenuous.

But for Xu Jin himself, it was another huge progress.

This was the first Seventh-Tier high-grade star pattern pushed out by his own accumulation.

However, when pushing the Seventh-Tier mid-grade Wood Source star pattern, Xu Jin used ten silver stars in exchange for a chance for ordinary derivation.

He pushed the Seventh-Tier mid-grade Wood Source star pattern to the Seventh-Tier high-grade in one breath.

Golden stars were important, but time was more important.

At this point, Gold Source Eighth-Tier mid-grade, Fire Source Eighth-Tier mid-grade, Earth Source Eighth-Tier mid-grade, Wood Source Seventh-Tier high-grade, Water Source Seventh-Tier high-grade.

The power of Xu Jin's Five-Element Divine Thunder was at least based on Seventh-Tier high-grade source-type star patterns.

Looking at history, Xu Jin was probably the first cultivator to cultivate all Five-Element source-type star patterns to the Seventh-Tier high-grade.

Moreover, this had to be added with an extremely important prerequisite: cultivating the Thunder Source star pattern to the Eighth-Tier high-grade.

If the Thunder Source star pattern had not been cultivated to the Eighth-Tier high-grade, then even if all Five-Element source-type star patterns were cultivated to the Seventh-Tier high-grade, it would be useless.

Under such circumstances, this condition was harsh to the extreme.

Xu Jin estimated that he should be the number one person in the world in cultivating source-power-type star patterns.

The time for the Seventh Level of the Seven Kill Secret Realm had already passed nearly half, and the quantity of Nine Heavens Thunder Rhyme had also accumulated to sixty-three streaks.

But Xu Jin was also a ruthless person.

Since he now had twelve golden stars in his hand.

Then he would go all the way, consuming two golden stars to push the Wood Source star pattern and the Water Source star pattern to the Eighth-Tier low-grade.

To be precise, after pushing to the Eighth-Tier low-grade, a part of the Eighth-Tier mid-grade Wood Source was also pushed out, but it was not pushed out completely.

The basic power of the Five-Element Divine Thunder improved again.

However, Xu Jin's pushing and improvement of source-type star patterns stopped here.

Although there were still ten golden stars, Xu Jin would no longer use them casually.

Because after the Seventh-Tier, one could no longer challenge the Zhai Xing Secret Realm.

In the future, Xu Jin could obtain at most eighteen more golden stars and nine bright stars.

These were all counted.

Golden stars were one less for every one used.

Xu Jin felt that with enough time, he could also complete the remaining part of the Eighth-Tier mid-grade Wood Source star pattern without consuming golden stars.

He wouldn't waste golden stars!

In the next instant, Xu Jin's mind moved, enabling the comprehension time of the Star Dome Secret Realm, and at the same time, his mind also fell on a golden star, opening a high-grade derivation.

The star pattern pushed this time was a primordial spirit-type attack star pattern—Po Sha!

This was the last short board that Xu Jin needed to make up for at present!
