Chapter 492: Ancestor's Decree and Diplomatic Mission

Inside the Star River Secret Realm meeting hall.

A group of high-level officials from the present world were still discussing the details.

Such as the division of defense zones, the minimum troop configuration that each family needed to station, and so on.

Suddenly, Wood Spirit Palace Master and Grand Void Palace Master both presented a divine state at the same time.

In their Upper Star Palaces, the inheritance treasures closely related to their respective headquarters suddenly revealed one after another aura that made their hearts palpitate.

According to past experience, this was the ancestor descending a decree.

The headquarters where the two palaces were located was also a small world, and this small world was left behind by their ancestors.

Normally speaking, it was very difficult to contact them.

Only by urging the inheritance secret treasures left by the ancestors to control the small world could they contact the ancestors.

Unexpectedly, today the ancestor directly descended a decree.

For a time, both Palace Masters were quite anxious.

But this meeting was incomparably important, so the two Palace Masters could only participate with patience.

It was several hours after the meeting ended, and the first moment the meeting ended, the two Palace Masters' divine senses returned, and they arrived at the Ancestor Hall for the first time.

They urged their respective inheritance star artifacts and began to receive the ancestor's decree.

Just for a moment, looks of ecstasy appeared on the faces of Wood Spirit Palace Master and Grand Void Palace Master.

Divine Dao True Meaning!

And not just one!

Grand Void Palace Master never expected that the ancestor would directly descend Divine Dao True Meaning this time, and there were a full five of them.

This was absolutely enough to allow him to easily break through to the Ninth-Tier.

And more than that.

However, the ancestor not only descended Divine Dao True Meaning, but also a decree.

"I ask the ancestor to rest assured; the disciple will definitely do his best to complete the task entrusted by the ancestor," Grand Void Palace Master said respectfully, burning incense and reporting before the Grand Void Palace ancestor statue.

The Wood Spirit Palace was also the same.

In a large hall, Emperor Extreme Dao was fighting fiercely with Emperor Xuan Cheng.

Although it was only a clone phantom, the two also fought out real fire.

"Xuan Cheng, you ruined my major event, causing that fellow Jin Zhu to descend a large amount of origin golden light; you must be responsible for this matter."

"Extreme Dao, since you have come to my door, I will not hide it anymore. Of the five Divine Dao True Meanings descended last time, only two families had whereabouts, and they didn't fall into the hands of the alien race; tell me, where did the other three go?" Emperor Xuan Cheng, whose clone phantom was beaten into a mess, was also angry.

"How would I know!"

"You don't know?"

"Then don't blame us!"

"We trust you, but don't think about fooling us as fools," Emperor Xuan Cheng said angrily.

"That's right, Extreme Dao, if you can't give us an explanation for this matter, then it proves that we are correct," the voice of Emperor Hua Qing sounded in the Star River.

Seeing Emperor Hua Qing arrive, Emperor Extreme Dao was also helpless.

Regarding the whereabouts of those three Divine Dao True Meanings, he really didn't know, but he had a vague speculation; it was just inconvenient to say it now.

The next instant, Emperor Extreme Dao's phantom retreated quickly.

"Since you insist on doing this, then in the future when we meet in the Star Realm, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Leaving this sentence, Emperor Extreme Dao's phantom disappeared without a trace.

It could be said that he came fast and left fast.

There was no way; if Xuan Cheng and Hua Qing joined forces, he would suffer.

Even if it was a clone phantom, if he suffered, his face wouldn't look too good.

Not long after, Emperor Extreme Dao returned to his own main hall; when looking at the Star River from afar, the brilliant starlight on the Kun Ling Realm in the Star River had already dissipated, returning to ordinary, mixing among billions of stars, and began to rotate constantly with the billions of stars.

Without a star mark, one cannot find it.

However, that fellow Jin Zhu had already taken the opportunity to send a large amount of origin golden light down.

The origin golden light of the Jin Zhu alien race is about the same as their Divine Dao True Meaning.

It can help experts trapped at the Eighth-Tier peak break through quickly.

In that case, it would not be very good.

Among the Eight Desolations alien race, many Ninth-Tier experts will appear.

Among the disciples of Xuan Cheng and Hua Qing, Ninth-Tier experts will also appear, and definitely more than one.

If he doesn't take action again, his disciples will suffer a huge loss.

It doesn't matter if the disciples suffer a little.

But the fragment inside the Kun Ling Realm will also appear.

He has laid out for three thousand years, not hesitating to leave his supreme treasure inside the Kun Ling Realm, just for that fragment.

Now, there is absolutely no reason to let go.

Then...

The next instant, Emperor Extreme Dao suddenly sighed, "Since that is the case, I will no longer insist on the law not being lightly transmitted. I hope that for them, it is a blessing, not a disaster."

In a flash, Emperor Extreme Dao urged the Star-Plucking Tower main tower and descended six Divine Dao True Meanings in a row.

In the present world, Zhen E Tianyang Xingjun, Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun, and Cang Ming Tianyang Xingjun, who had just finished the meeting and whose divine senses had returned to their main bodies, suddenly shook their whole bodies, and with a movement of their minds, they stepped out and returned directly to the top floor of their respective Star-Plucking Tower main bodies.

The next instant, the three of them saw the Emperor Extreme Dao ancestor statue they worshipped emitting a faint golden light, and as they knelt and urged, two Divine Dao True Meanings descended instantly.

Although the three were in different Star-Plucking Tower main towers, their expressions were all ecstasy.

In the Chen Guo Star-Plucking Tower main tower, Xu Jin had just returned from the Star-Plucking Secret Realm.

He had just plucked two gold stars and one brilliant star of the Sixth-Tier Fourth Layer.

Xu Jin, who returned from plucking stars, started closed-door cultivation for the first time.

He casually took out a well-nurtured Five-Star Spirit-Gathering Ginseng and swallowed it, starting to refine the medicinal power; when the grand medicinal power rushed into the Cloud Tower, Xu Jin started to cast the fifth-layer octagonal Cloud Tower.

A well-nurtured Five-Star Spirit-Gathering Ginseng only allowed Xu Jin's fifth-layer octagonal Cloud Tower to not even have one corner thoroughly condensed.

But it allowed Xu Jin's cultivation base to break through to the Sixth-Tier Fifth Layer.

Subsequently, Xu Jin entered the Star-Plucking Secret Realm again to challenge star plucking.

The gold-star-level gatekeepers and inner demons that appeared were all Seventh-Tier Fifth Layer, but for Xu Jin, there was no challenge.

In order to hone his star arts, Xu Jin deliberately did not use the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

Because using it would be a second-kill.

Challenging three times in a row, another two gold stars and one brilliant star were in hand.

Coming out this time, Xu Jin took out the only Seven-Star Spirit-Gathering Ginseng that had been well-nurtured, and only swallowed a section, and the grand medicinal power started to impact Xu Jin's Cloud Tower.

Just one mouthful allowed Xu Jin's fifth-layer Cloud Tower to condense a corner.

At present, Xu Jin constantly absorbed and refined the medicinal power of the Seven-Star Spirit-Gathering Ginseng, quickly improving his cultivation base.

Xu Jin focused on listening to advice.

Since the Grand Master said to improve the cultivation base again, then he must improve it again.

Being safe is the best.

Xu Jin also knew the danger of this trip.

Great Hong is fine.

Once he really obtains an identity and heads to the alien race's Eight Desolations Continent, he will truly be alone deep behind enemy lines; once he encounters danger, even if the Grand Master has three heads and six arms, he won't be able to save him.

Therefore, preparations must be made more thoroughly.

And improving the cultivation base is just one step.

One day later, Xu Jin used up the only Seven-Star Spirit-Gathering Ginseng in his hand, and the Six-Star Spirit-Gathering Ginseng was also completely used up; his cultivation base not only broke through to the Sixth-Tier Sixth Layer, but also improved to the mid-stage of the Sixth-Tier Sixth Layer.

This improvement can be said to be extremely fast.

After a few more days of bitterness, Xu Jin's cultivation base could step into the late stage of the Sixth-Tier.

And the star power was already countless times more vigorous than when he first entered the Sixth-Tier.

He hadn't calculated it carefully, but it was at least ten times more.

The improvement in strength also brought confidence.

Now, when Xu Jin encounters ordinary Eighth-Tier experts, even without using special power, he can save his life.

However, after several actual combats, Xu Jin found that spatial star arts were excellent for saving his life.

After challenging the gold stars of the Sixth-Tier Sixth Layer, Xu Jin's number of gold stars accumulated to eleven, and nine brilliant stars.

This number was not small.

But in the future, Xu Jin could at most obtain another six gold stars and three brilliant stars, which did not allow Xu Jin to waste them.

But the spatial star arts used for saving his life still needed to be deduced. First to be deduced must be the Empty Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern.

Once the Empty Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern is strong, the consumption of using spatial shifting will become smaller, the shifting distance will become farther, and the spatial barrier used for defense will also become very strong.

The Empty Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern Xu Jin learned was Sixth-Tier Upper; by comparison, the deduction difficulty of the spatial star pattern was much greater than that of the source-type star patterns, and the difficulty was even close to the elephant-type star patterns, only slightly smaller than the deduction difficulty of the divine soul star patterns.

Therefore, Xu Jin used three gold stars and one brilliant star to deduce the Empty Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern to the Eighth-Tier Upper in one breath.

I don't know if Grand Void Palace Master would be so angry that he would faint if he knew this news.

The Empty Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern that his Grand Void Palace was proud of was now easily deduced by Xu Jin to the Eighth-Tier Upper, reaching the same level as him.

Now, compared with Grand Void Palace Master, Xu Jin only lacked the Empty Elephant Star Pattern in spatial star arts.

Deducing the Empty Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern to the Eighth-Tier Upper, Xu Jin also obtained three powerful special star arts.

The first is Spatial Folding.

Another defensive star art; if used well, it has infinite wonderful uses.

The second is called Spatial Cage, which uses spatial star power to cut and create an invisible spatial cage; at critical moments, it is also very useful.

The Eighth-Tier Upper Empty Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern contributed a very powerful attack star art to Xu Jin: Spatial Misalignment.

Roughly, it is to induce spatial misalignment.

It was just Xu Jin practicing it casually, and the power was incomparably powerful.

Subsequently, Xu Jin used two gold stars to deduce the spatial shifting star pattern to the Eighth-Tier Lower.

This star art must be deduced.

It is for saving his life.

It must be improved.

The Eighth-Tier Lower Spatial Shifting Star Pattern brought a big surprise to Xu Jin.

Special Star Art: Spatial Directional Shifting!

After figuring out the function of this star art, Xu Jin was overjoyed.

So that's how the Spatial Directional Shifting star art mentioned by Qiao Zhen came about.

No wonder he had never learned it.

The original spatial shifting star art, regardless of your cultivation base, regardless of whether you can shift two hundred miles or five hundred miles at a time, the shifting direction is a random point within two hundred miles around you.

Where you land is hard to say.

If used for escaping, when used, you might escape far away, or you might escape back to the enemy's headquarters.

But Spatial Directional Shifting is different.

You can lock the direction.

It just consumes a lot of divine soul power, but it doesn't matter; this is a divine skill for escaping.

With Spatial Folding, Xu Jin originally didn't want to deduce the Spatial Barrier.

But after Xu Jin tried the Spatial Folding star art many times, he found the difference.

Spatial Folding has a very limited application range and consumes a lot.

Even with Xu Jin's current Nascent Soul cultivation base, Spatial Folding can only be applied within a ten-meter range around him.

But with the Spatial Barrier, Xu Jin can place it anywhere within a hundred-meter range around him.

Used for defense, it is elusive.

At critical moments, it can not only protect himself, but also protect others.

However, Xu Jin only invested ten silver stars and one gold star to deduce it to the Seventh-Tier Upper, and that was the end of it.

Up to this point, Xu Jin had five gold stars and eight brilliant stars left in his hand.

Because the Grand Master had not yet arranged the diplomatic mission, Xu Jin practiced normally for the next few days.

While practicing, he took his younger sister Jiang Er, Ning Yuchan, and a few little guys to practice together, and occasionally, he would bring in the Principal Dong Zhao, who encountered problems.

It is worth mentioning that the number of small animals sent to the Hei Wu Kong Hall was increasing.

Rabbits were no longer wanted, replaced by goats; just one day later, they were replaced by dogs, and every day they had to change to a different animal, more than a dozen each day.

Obviously, Xu Jin's Seven-Kill Sword Heart was condensing faster.

The previous rabbits took a full half-month to find their life rhythm.

After entering the door, the others became faster and faster.

Especially the life rhythm of animals; changing to a new species, as long as it took a few hours, Xu Jin could find its life rhythm.

A casual point with a dry branch, and it would die instantly.

After a few times, he could discover the life rhythm upon getting his hands on it, and a point could cut off its life rhythm.

For the same type of animal, there were six or seven a day, and more than ten at most.

Obviously, the Hei Wu Kong Hall couldn't finish eating them, so the ones that couldn't be finished were sent to the National Dao Academy's canteen.

At first, the disciples of the National Dao Academy were still very happy.

Extra meals.

The kind of extra meals every day!

But after a few days, whether it was the chefs of the National Dao Academy or the disciples, their expressions became strange.

Adding ducks to the meal was still good, and geese were also quite good, but what was the situation with adding crows to the meal?

Later, the extra meals reached the toads.

The kind in baskets.

This made the chefs complain endlessly.

Until one day, when the chef saw the corpses of rats and spiders burned to ashes by fire, he stopped complaining.

That Vice Principal of the Hei Wu Kong Academy was still okay.

On December 1st, Xu Jin's cultivation base broke through to the Sixth-Tier Seventh Layer as a matter of course.

On this day, Xu Jin was fiddling with ants in the academy.

A light point with a dry branch, and an ant died instantly.

The pile of ant corpses in front of him was already a heap.

Xu Jin felt that the first layer of his Seven-Kill Sword Heart was almost done.

Suddenly, starlight fell above the academy, and it was Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao who had suddenly arrived.

"Eh?"

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, who had landed, looked at the pile of ant corpses in front of Xu Jin; originally it was just a glance, but suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, "I just saw you kill this ant, but you didn't use any star power... how did you do this?"

"I interrupted their life rhythm."

"This method is quite brilliant."

While speaking, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly gasped, "Is this the secret technique you have been practicing hard recently?"

"The inheritance of the Seven-Kill True Person?"

Xu Jin nodded.

"If this is successful, wouldn't it be possible to kill invisibly?"

"A bit, but it's not that simple," Xu Jin said.

"How is it, is it successful?" Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao asked.

"Still early," Xu Jin laughed.

"You have also practiced for quite a long time; it seems that it is quite difficult, not something an ordinary person can learn."

"Then you continue."

While speaking, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao directly threw a token to Xu Jin, "The diplomatic mission is settled; we will set off the day after tomorrow. This is the Chief Envoy token."

"It should be able to guarantee that you see that Great Hong Emperor, but how far you can take things depends on your own ability."

"Thank you, Grand Master."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuexiao waved his hand, "You go to Great Hong, there shouldn't be any danger."

"If this matter can be done, it's best to do it."

"Originally, I wanted to persuade you to drag this matter out and do it later, but now, the Star River Battlefield borders the Eight Desolations Continent, and a great war is imminent, so it cannot be dragged."

"Grand Master, rest assured, I will do my best!"

"Hmm, if there is nothing else, I will go get busy first; there are too many things recently. You kid, don't slack off in your cultivation; you must break through to the Seventh-Tier quickly. I am waiting for you to take over my shift."

"Don't, you old man, get busy first," Xu Jin laughed, "Grand Master, when going on the diplomatic mission, I want to bring a Deputy Envoy?"

"No problem, you just report the name directly."

As the voice fell, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao had already disappeared.
