Chapter 469

"Everyone, hurry up, the plan is going smoothly. I just received news that all branch palaces and branch academies of the Cangming Star Palace have closed their palaces 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 Tianyang Star Palace elites.

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 Yanhui, who had returned from his mission, said to everyone with a smile.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, Peng Lao, Director Ji Bang, Meng Yanhui, Dong Zhao, Liu Zhou Qingzhu, Xu Jin, plus an Take Ying Ge—the eight people practiced in seclusion in the Star Dome Secret Realm for nearly a month, although they didn't form any deep friendship or feelings.

However, the month of getting along had implicitly laid the foundation for Chen Guo's future power group.

Everyone chatted casually about major national affairs.

With just a few casual chats, a national policy was formulated.

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

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

Of course, Take Ying Ge knew even more clearly why he was able to enter this small group.

"Uncle Meng, does that mean the Eighth-Tier experts won't participate in the battle?" Xu Jin asked.

"There is no saying that they won't participate, but at that time, our home-field advantage is there, and by relying on the teleportation of the Star-Plucking Tower, several Eighth-Tier experts can appear and disappear unpredictably; in this point, the advantage is huge.

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

If Eighth-Tier experts can not participate in the battle, they won't.

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

"I have improved a lot recently, and my hands are itching! In a few days, when the war starts, I will just try to see how much my strength has improved," Dong Zhao laughed.

"You kid, dealing with a Seventh-Tier Middle expert should be no problem at all," Director Ji Bang laughed.

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

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

He could already confront a Seventh-Tier Middle expert or even contain a Seventh-Tier Upper expert with his Sixth-Tier Seventh Layer cultivation.

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

Especially in star patterns, the improvement range was too big.

It also made Dong Zhao's confidence explode.

"Mountain Chief Dong is still the most powerful; my current strength is no problem killing an ordinary Seventh-Tier Lower expert, and dealing with an ordinary Seventh-Tier Middle expert is also possible, but killing is difficult," Liu Zhou Qingzhu laughed while looking at Xu Jin.

"Hey!"

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

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

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

Dong Zhao knows a little more.

But even those who know the least know Xu Jin's record of killing Seventh-Tier experts.

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

Now his cultivation is already at the Sixth-Tier Third Layer.

Then how strong must he be?

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

Among everyone, Director Ji Bang is the happiest.

Director Ji Bang is happy, but it's a bit like a mother-in-law looking at a son-in-law; he is a grandfather looking at a grandson-in-law, the more he looks, the happier he is, the more he looks, the more comfortable he is!

It's still him who has vision, and even more foresight and decisiveness.

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

This is also where Director Ji Bang is happy.

Meng Yanhui couldn't know Director Ji Bang's bright smile, but he could only pretend not to know at this time.

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

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

Now, it's good...

Among the younger generation, there isn't one who can support the overall situation after him.

In contrast, the Ji clan, the glory of the family for hundreds of years in the future is already set.

Amidst everyone's laughter, Xu Jin opened the Arena Lamp Domain again. After opening it, Xu Jin asked, "Uncle Meng, what level has the Cangming Star Palace's Great Gathering Star Pattern reached in its latest version?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanhui showed a thoughtful look, "It is highly likely to be Seventh-Tier Middle.

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

If the Cangming Xingjun has been deducing this Great Gathering Star Pattern all these years, then the Cangming Star Palace's latest version of the Great Gathering Star Pattern is Seventh-Tier Middle.

If not, then it is Seventh-Tier Lower.

Star patterns above the Seventh Tier, many Eighth-Tier experts spend more than ten years and don't necessarily see one that can be deduced to a small rank."

"What about the Tianyang Star Palace's?"

"The Tianyang Star Palace has a higher accumulation; the confirmed one we know is that the Second Elder of the Tianyang Star Palace practices the Great Gathering Star Pattern, which is Seventh-Tier Middle.

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

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

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

"I understand."

Since the last time he deduced the Great Gathering Star Pattern to Seventh-Tier Middle, Xu Jin has 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 improve the total amount of star power by ten percent.

It is also another way to improve cultivation.

The effect is still quite fast.

It's just that there are too many star patterns that need to be deduced, so it has never been ranked.

Today, he heard Left Libationer Meng Yanhui mention this matter, and 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.

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 Lower has relatively high value, then continue deducing.

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

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

While everyone was comprehending star patterns in the Arena Lamp Domain, Xu Jin quietly started 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-level derivation time of one Gold Star, he deduced the Great Gathering Star Pattern from Seventh-Tier Middle to Seventh-Tier Upper.

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

When the star pattern enters the Eighth Tier, the difficulty increases by nearly double.

However, under Xu Jin's triple blessing, in less than two quarters of an hour, Xu Jin successfully deduced it to the Eighth-Tier Lower.

The moment the deduction was successful, a bit of enlightenment floated into Xu Jin's mind.

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

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

But the high-level derivation time ended here.

Xu Jin's heart moved, and he began to carefully sense and practice the Eighth-Tier Lower Great Gathering Star Pattern he had just deduced inside the star lamp.

In a few breaths, joy floated into his heart. This Gold Star is 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 compress and refine 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 sensing the specific power of this star art clearly, Xu Jin regretted it greatly.

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

In short, as long as the Eighth-Tier Lower Great Gathering Star Pattern is inscribed, this star art "Dense" will automatically operate and automatically 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 Lower 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 exists.

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

It is simply a passive divine skill.

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

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

Xu Jin felt that no matter which situation it is, just based on the star art "Dense," he could add another Gold Star.

Such a special passive divine skill, not to mention one or two Gold Stars, even investing three or four Gold Stars is super worth it.

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

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

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

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

The special star art brought by the Eighth-Tier Middle Great Gathering Star Pattern is still "Dense," but the effect of this total star power increase has become twenty percent!

It's twenty percent!

Then at the Eighth-Tier Upper, wouldn't it be thirty percent?

A thirty percent increase in the total amount of star power, that increase is too big!

The high-level derivation hasn't ended yet, continue deducing.

However, the difficulty of deducing the Eighth-Tier Upper star pattern is still very high; when this high-level derivation ended, Xu Jin had almost thoroughly deduced the Eighth-Tier Upper Great Gathering Star Pattern, only missing the last stroke to form a perfect closed loop.

The Eighth-Tier Upper Great Gathering Star Pattern was done.

However, Xu Jin is not in a hurry.

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

He didn't open a Gold Star anymore, 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.

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

Great Gathering Star Pattern, Eighth-Tier Upper.

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

But the effect became thirty percent.

The thirty percent improvement range is very large.

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

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

However, Xu Jin's primordial spirit divine soul is extremely powerful, and this Eighth-Tier Upper Great Gathering Star Pattern was deduced by him personally, skilled 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 Middle to Eighth-Tier Upper.

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

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

"This... this is another breakthrough?" Director Ji Bang was surprised.

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

"Hey, this kid is probably breaking through in some aspect again; let's practice hard; if we don't practice hard, we will be surpassed by this kid," Dong Zhao sighed.

"You mean, you are ahead of him?" Liu Zhou Qingzhu was surprised.

Upon hearing this, Dong Zhao stroked 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 will be thrown away by this kid without a trace!

Must practice!

Must cultivate bitterly!"

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed, but they only laughed for a few breaths before they all immediately invested in cultivation.

A genius like Xu Jin practices so hard and so bitterly.

Talent can't compare?

Can't hard work compare!

In Xu Jin's body, one Great Gathering Star Pattern after another was added from Seventh-Tier Middle to Eighth-Tier Upper; as more and more Eighth-Tier Upper 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 surged 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, put on a Sixth-Tier Star Jade Tablet, and began to replenish star power.

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

It was like a water tank; it was full before, but now it only had a little more than half the water level, so he was a bit unaccustomed to it.

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, his cultivation realm hadn't changed, but his real 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 thoroughly restored to full.

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

Almost double the increase!

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

Moreover, after the 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 role of the "Dense" star art.

The Great Gathering Star Pattern improved from Seventh-Tier Middle to Eighth-Tier Upper, which itself improved the total amount of star power by forty percent, plus the thirty percent compressed by the "Dense" star art.

This is the fundamental reason for Xu Jin's cultivation nearly doubling!

"Before, I always couldn't figure out how your 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, if others told me, I wouldn't believe it!" While Xu Jin woke up, Meng Yanhui also woke up at the same time, looking at Xu Jin and sighing in admiration.

"Hey, I have also seen it with my own eyes today!" Peng Lao also sighed.

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

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

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

"Alright, you all continue to practice and wait for orders at any time!

The national funeral will end today!

The action is also about to begin!"

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