Chapter 469

"Everyone, hold on tight, the plan is going smoothly. I just received news that all branch halls and branch academies of the Cangming Star Hall have closed their halls and academies for seven days under the pretext of comprehending the new Great Gathering Star Pattern. This is already a clear indication that they want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Three days later, there will definitely be a fierce battle between us and the elites of the Lord Tianyang Star Hall.

At that time, we might be the main force."

Inside the Star Dome Secret Realm of the main building of the Star-Plucking Tower, Left Libationer Meng Meng Yanhui, who had returned from his mission, said to everyone with a smile.

Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao, Elder Peng, Ji Bang, Meng Meng Yanhui, Dong Zhao, Liu Zhou Qingzhu, Xu Jin, plus Ying Ge, the eight people had been cultivating in seclusion in the Star Dome Secret Realm for nearly a month. Although it couldn't be said that they had formed a very deep friendship or feelings.

However, a month of getting along had implicitly laid the foundation for the future power group of Dachen.

What everyone chatted about casually were major national affairs.

Just a few casual chats were enough to formulate a national policy.

Similarly, the latest various situation changes in the country also appeared in this small group for the first time.

Others were fine, it was mainly Ying Ge, who had been excited for several days before adapting.

Of course, Ying Ge was even clearer about why he was able to enter this small group.

"Uncle Meng, so the Eighth-Tier powerhouses won't participate in the battle?" Xu Jin asked.

"It's not that they won't participate, but our home-field advantage is there. Relying on the teleportation of the Star-Plucking Tower, several Eighth-Tier powerhouses can appear and disappear unpredictably, and in this regard, the advantage is huge.

Moreover, if possible, we will also try our best to control the intensity of the conflict.

If Eighth-Tier powerhouses can avoid participating in the battle, they will.

After all, once Eighth-Tier powerhouses start fighting, the losses are hard to say," Meng Meng Yanhui said.

"I've improved a lot recently, and my hands are itching too! In a few days when the battle starts, I'll just try to see how much my strength has improved," Dong Zhao laughed.

"You kid, dealing with a Seventh-Tier Mid-Stage powerhouse shouldn't be any problem at all," Ji Bang laughed.

"I feel it should be a slaughter!" Dong Zhao said confidently.

Before he improved, he already had the ability to challenge across a major realm.

He could use his Sixth-Tier Seventh-Layer cultivation to confront a Seventh-Tier Mid-Stage or even contain a Seventh-Tier Late-Stage powerhouse.

This month, Dong Zhao's strength improvement was stronger than the past three years.

Especially in terms of star patterns, the improvement range was too large.

It also made Dong Zhao full of confidence.

"Mountain Chief Dong is still amazing. My current strength, slaughtering an ordinary Seventh-Tier Early-Stage is no problem, and dealing with an ordinary Seventh-Tier Mid-Stage is also possible, but slaughtering is difficult," Liu Zhou Qingzhu said while laughing, and glanced at Xu Jin.

"Hey!"

Dong Zhao sighed, "Can't brag anymore! If we keep bragging, as long as Xu Jin opens his mouth, we'll all have to kneel!"

In an instant, everyone looked at Xu Jin and was speechless.

The people present all knew a little bit about Xu Jin's battle record.

Dong Zhao knew a little more.

But even those who knew the least knew about Xu Jin's record of slaughtering Seventh-Tier powerhouses.

Moreover, that was Xu Jin's battle record when he was at the Fifth Tier.

Now that his cultivation had reached the Sixth-Tier Third-Layer.

Then how strong must he be?

"Hehe, cultivate, cultivate, everyone work hard, strive to catch up with this kid Xu Jin as soon as possible," Ji Bang laughed.

Everyone, Ji Bang was the happiest.

Ji Bang was happy, but it was a bit like a mother-in-law looking at a son-in-law; he was a grandfather looking at a grandson-in-law, the more he looked, the happier he was, the more comfortable he felt!

He was the one with vision, foresight, and decisiveness.

In contrast, Meng Meng Yanhui was a bit worse, haha.

This was also where Ji Bang was happy.

Ji Bang's brilliant smile, how could Meng Meng Yanhui not know, but he could only pretend not to know at this time.

Initially, he also proposed a similar idea within the family, wanting to arrange for Meng Meng Qingqiu to go over directly.

But Meng Meng Qingqiu's parents opposed it, saying that the Meng family's status didn't allow them to send their daughter to Xu Jin's side in an unclear way.

Now, it's fine...

Among the younger generation, there wasn't one who could hold up the big picture after him.

In contrast, the Ji clan, the glory of the family for hundreds of years to come was already set.

Amidst everyone's laughter, Xu Jin activated the Arena Lamp Domain again. After activating it, Xu Jin asked, "Uncle Meng, what level has the latest version of the Cangming Star Hall's Great Gathering Star Pattern reached?"

Hearing this, Meng Meng Yanhui showed a thoughtful look. "It is highly likely to be Seventh-Tier Mid-Grade.

The confirmed intelligence is that eight years ago, the Cangming Star Hall's Great Gathering Star Pattern was Seventh-Tier Low-Grade.

If the Lord of the Cangming Star has been deducing this Great Gathering Star Pattern all these years, then the latest version of the Cangming Star Hall's Great Gathering Star Pattern is Seventh-Tier Mid-Grade.

If not, then it is Seventh-Tier Low-Grade.

For star patterns above the Seventh Tier, many Eighth-Tier powerhouses spend more than ten years and don't necessarily see one small rank tier being deduced."

"What about the Lord Tianyang Star Hall's?"

"The Lord Tianyang Star Hall has a slightly higher accumulation. We know for sure that the Second Elder of the Lord Tianyang Star Hall cultivates the Great Gathering Star Pattern, which is Seventh-Tier Mid-Grade.

Theoretically, the latest version will not exceed Seventh-Tier High-Grade.

Although the Great Gathering Star Pattern is the most important basic star pattern, because it is a basic star pattern, it only affects the amount of star power. Once the cultivation is high, this influence is not that big, so all parties haven't put much effort into deducing it.

What all parties put effort into deducing is the main combat star patterns," Meng Meng Yanhui said.

"I understand."

Since deducing the Great Gathering Star Pattern to Seventh-Tier Mid-Grade last time, Xu Jin had always had the urge to deduce the Great Gathering Star Pattern to the Eighth Tier.

Because this is a basic star pattern, every time it improves by one layer, it can at least increase the total amount of star power by ten percent.

It is also another way to improve cultivation.

The effect is still very fast.

It's just that there are too many star patterns to deduce, so it hasn't been ranked yet.

Today, hearing Left Libationer Meng Meng Yanhui mention this, he had an idea.

Just right, the time has just entered November, and Xu Jin's enlightenment time in the Star Dome Secret Realm has come again.

He wanted to try.

It's just a matter of one Gold Star.

If the special star art obtained after deducing the Great Gathering Star Pattern to Eighth-Tier Low-Grade has value, then continue to deduce.

If it's average, then end with one Gold Star.

When there is leisure in the future, then slowly use time to deduce the Great Gathering Star Pattern.

While everyone was comprehending star patterns in the Arena Lamp Domain, Xu Jin silently activated the enlightenment time of the Star Dome Secret Realm, then triggered a Gold Star, and began to deduce the Great Gathering Star Pattern.

Under the triple blessing of the Star Dome Secret Realm's enlightenment time, the Arena Lamp Domain, and the Gold Star, Xu Jin's speed of deducing star patterns became incomparably fast.

Under the derivation and comprehension, in less than a quarter of an hour, using only one-fourth of the high-tier derivation time of one Gold Star, he successfully deduced the Great Gathering Star Pattern from Seventh-Tier Mid-Grade to Seventh-Tier High-Grade.

Subsequently, he began to deduce the Eighth-Tier Low-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern.

When star patterns enter the Eighth Tier, the difficulty increases by nearly double.

However, under Xu Jin's triple blessing, in less than two quarter-hours, Xu Jin successfully deduced the Great Gathering Star Pattern to Eighth-Tier Low-Grade.

The moment the deduction was successful, a point of enlightenment appeared in Xu Jin's heart.

But because he was still in high-tier derivation, Xu Jin continued to deduce.

Another quarter and a half hour later, the Eighth-Tier Mid-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern had already been deduced by nearly half.

But the time for high-tier derivation ended here.

Xu Jin's mind moved, and he began to carefully sense and practice the Eighth-Tier Low-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern he had just deduced within the star lamp.

After a few breaths, joy floated into his heart. This Gold Star was worth it.

Super worth it.

Especially after sensing the specific power of this special star art clearly, Xu Jin regretted it greatly.

Too late!

He deduced this Great Gathering Star Pattern too late.

It's a very simple star art with a passive effect, but the power is very strong, or rather, practical!

Star art: Dense.

It can refine and compress star power to a certain extent; the cultivation realm remains unchanged, but the total amount of star power can increase by ten percent.

To be honest, when he sensed the specific power of this star art clearly, Xu Jin regretted it greatly.

He also never expected that this kind of basic star pattern would have such a practical and strong passive star art.

In short, as long as the Eighth-Tier Low-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern is inscribed, this star art "Dense" will automatically operate and exert its effect.

After a period of time, the star power in the body will be refined and compressed by the "Dense" star art, and then the total amount of star power will increase by ten percent.

This is the most direct improvement.

Not to mention anything else, just say if the Grand Master learned this Eighth-Tier Low-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern, wouldn't that mean his star power cultivation would directly increase by ten percent?

This improvement has no threshold; as long as it is inscribed, it will have an effect.

And the higher the cultivation, the greater the improvement range.

It is simply a passive divine skill.

Then, will the Eighth-Tier Mid-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern have a new special star art?

Or will the special star art "Dense" be strengthened?

Xu Jin felt that regardless of which situation it was, just based on the star art "Dense", he could add another Gold Star.

This kind of special passive divine skill, not to mention one or two Gold Stars, even if three or four Gold Stars were invested, it would be super worth it.

Sure enough, there is no Eighth-Tier star pattern that is useless!

The next instant, Xu Jin triggered a Gold Star and continued to start high-tier derivation.

Because he had already deduced nearly half of the Eighth-Tier Mid-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern before, the speed was also extremely fast.

He successfully deduced the Eighth-Tier Mid-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern.

The special star art brought by the Eighth-Tier Mid-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern was still "Dense", but the effect of this increase in total star power became twenty percent!

It became twenty percent!

Then at Eighth-Tier High-Grade, wouldn't it be thirty percent?

A thirty percent increase in total star power, that increase, would be too big!

High-tier derivation had not ended yet, continue to deduce.

However, the difficulty of deducing the Eighth-Tier High-Grade star pattern was still very high. During this high-tier derivation, Xu Jin almost completely deduced the Eighth-Tier High-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern, only missing the last stroke to form a perfect closed loop.

The Eighth-Tier High-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern was done.

However, Xu Jin was not in a hurry.

With his current accumulation, this last bit only needed to consume a little time.

He didn't activate any more Gold Stars, just continued to use the enlightenment time of the Star Dome Secret Realm and the reflection assistance of the Arena Lamp Domain to continue deducing.

More than half an hour later, Xu Jin successfully completed this last stroke.

Great Gathering Star Pattern, Eighth-Tier High-Grade.

At the same time, the special star art brought by the Eighth-Tier High-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern was still the star art "Dense".

But the effect became thirty percent.

A thirty percent improvement range was very large.

The next instant, Xu Jin began to add the Eighth-Tier High-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern to the star cores in his body.

Seventy-two star cores, this was not a small project.

However, Xu Jin's Yuanling divine soul was incomparably powerful, and this Eighth-Tier High-Grade Great Gathering Star Pattern was deduced by himself, so he was familiar with it to the extreme; even if he closed his eyes, he could draw it.

Inscribing it was extremely fast.

In just thirty breaths, he upgraded the Great Gathering Star Pattern on the first star core from Seventh-Tier Mid-Grade to Eighth-Tier High-Grade.

The moment the inscription was successful, a star power whirlwind suddenly blew up in the Star Dome Secret Realm.

All the star power rolled and surged toward Xu Jin's body, directly shocking everyone who was comprehending star patterns.

"This... did he break through again?" Ji Bang asked in surprise.

"His cultivation realm hasn't broken through, but his star power cultivation is constantly improving. This improvement range is not small!" Meng Meng Yanhui said.

"Hey, this kid probably broke through in some aspect, let's cultivate diligently; if we don't cultivate diligently, we'll be surpassed by this kid," Dong Zhao laughed.

"You mean, you are ahead of him?" Liu Zhou Qingzhu asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Dong Zhao held his forehead and smiled bitterly. "A slip of the tongue, it was a slip of the tongue!

It's that if we don't work hard, we'll be left behind by this kid without a trace!

Must cultivate!

Must cultivate hard!"

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed, but after laughing for a few breaths, they all immediately threw themselves into cultivation.

A genius like Xu Jin is so hardworking and so diligent in cultivation.

Can't compare in talent?

Can't compare in diligence?

Xu Jin added one Great Gathering Star Pattern after another from Seventh-Tier Mid-Grade to Eighth-Tier High-Grade in his body. As more and more Eighth-Tier High-Grade Great Gathering Star Patterns were added, the power of the "Dense" star art became stronger and stronger.

Xu Jin could even sense his star power being compressed, and then more star power surging in.

Under these circumstances, the star power concentration in the Star Dome Secret Realm was no longer enough for Xu Jin to use.

Xu Jin simply took out the Fifth-Tier Star Gathering Array disk, placed a Sixth-Tier Star Jade Tablet on it, and began to replenish star power.

Half a day later, Xu Jin finished adding all the Great Gathering Star Patterns, but the void in his cultivation was getting bigger and bigger.

It was like a water tank that was full before, but now the water level was only more than half, so he felt a bit uncomfortable.

Under these circumstances, Xu Jin only needed to constantly replenish star power, and his star power cultivation would be constantly replenished and restored.

But in Xu Jin's sensing, although his cultivation realm hadn't changed, his true cultivation was constantly improving.

This process lasted for a full two days.

Two days later, the star power compressed by the "Dense" star art in Xu Jin's body was completely restored to full.

But Xu Jin's cultivation aura, compared to before, had already improved by seventy percent or even nearly eighty percent!

Almost a near-doubling increase!

Just one Great Gathering Star Pattern made Xu Jin's strength nearly double; this kind of explosive increase couldn't be reached even by breaking through two or three layers of cultivation.

Moreover, if his cultivation breaks through two or three layers in the future, the "Dense" star art can continue to improve on the basis of the breakthrough.

Of course, it's not entirely the effect of the "Dense" star art.

The Great Gathering Star Pattern improving from Seventh-Tier Mid-Grade to Eighth-Tier High-Grade itself increased the total star power by forty percent, plus the thirty percent compressed by the "Dense" star art.

This is the fundamental reason why Xu Jin's cultivation nearly doubled!

"Before, I couldn't figure out how this kid's cultivation could improve so fast?

Today, I have finally seen it!

Three days of effort, cultivation doubled!

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it if someone told me!" While Xu Jin woke up, Meng Meng Yanhui also woke up at the same time, sighing in admiration as he looked at Xu Jin.

"Hey, I also saw it with my own eyes today!" Elder Peng also sighed.

Ji Bang and Liu Zhou Qingzhu, however, were smiling from ear to ear.

The gold content of this grandson-in-law (apprentice) was still increasing by multiples.

Dong Zhao and Ying Ge were both shocked, but there was more worship in Ying Ge's eyes!

"Alright, you guys continue to cultivate, wait for orders at any time!

The national funeral will end today!

The operation is also about to begin!"

After speaking, Left Libationer Meng Meng Yanhui bowed to Xu Jin and the others, and disappeared from the Star Dome Secret Realm of the Star-Plucking Tower in an instant.
