Chapter 586: A New Use for the Divine Gold Beads

The Master of the Grand Void Gate and the Master of the Wood Spirit Palace have both broken through to the Ninth Tier.

For the current human race, this is extremely good news.

Based on known intelligence, the Eight Desolations Continent currently has three Ninth Tier experts, while the number of Ninth Tier experts on the side of the current human race has already reached six.

The advantage in top-tier combat power is overwhelming.

Theoretically, once the war begins, as long as they proceed steadily and surely, the victory of the current human race is certain.

The difference lies in how much of a price must be paid and the duration of the war.

For example, how many elites below the Seventh Tier will die in battle.

Only those situated within the current human race truly understand just how large this weakness is.

Under the current state of affairs, the four parties—the Heavenly Yang Shang Xinggong, the Azure Shang Xinggong, Chen Guo, and the Barbarian tribes—can never truly be united as one.

Once large-scale battle losses occur, these four parties may begin to calculate their gains and losses, and even fall out with one another.

Because this will affect the division of interests among all parties after the war, including whether they will swallow up or oppress one another.

Of course, Xu Jin believes that this point has been seen by everyone, whether it be the Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao or the Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun and the others.

They are all deep-thinking and calculating individuals; naturally, they will not allow this problem to lead to a defeat.

However, the longer the war drags on, the easier it is for this hidden danger to erupt.

Besides this, the matter of the Star River Battlefield Marshal's Office has also been settled.

The results of the purge were truly shocking.

Over a hundred of Wei Xu's confidants, whose spirits had been controlled, were discovered and executed on the spot.

And nearly half of those had some connection to Wei Xu.

This portion of people could not simply be killed, so most have currently been exiled to various star domains.

However, the Star River Battlefield Marshal's Office cannot be left empty.

Do not look at the Star River Battlefield Marshal's Office as having few people; its role is still extremely important, and the more there is a major war, the more important it becomes.

Among the four parties of the current human race, there are all sorts of friction and conflicts of interest.

The Star River Battlefield Marshal's Office is the buffer between the four major forces of the current human race.

Many affairs, if left to the four forces to arrange among themselves, simply cannot be arranged.

Everyone would suspect that the other party's arrangements might contain traps, and the related dangers would be magnified by imagination, making it impossible to proceed with many things.

With the Star River Battlefield Marshal's Office, it is different.

When Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao mentioned this point, Xu Jin understood in a second.

A third party, after all.

"Currently, the Star River Battlefield Marshal's Office has finished its purge. The left and right military advisors and the left and right marshals of the Star River Marshal's Office are each occupied by one of the four parties, which can be considered barely enough to get the Star River Battlefield Marshal's Office running."

"But with each of the four parties occupying a key position, it is still useless."

"A new Grand Marshal must take office for the Star River Battlefield Marshal's Office to exert its proper role."

"In a few days, I intend to nominate you for the position of Grand Marshal of the Star River Battlefield; you should prepare yourself," Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao said suddenly.

"Me?" Xu Jin was somewhat surprised.

"Yes."

Cheng Yuexiao nodded affirmatively, "Do not lack confidence. Your battle merits are currently unmatched, your combat power is obvious to all, and you have formed a life-and-death blood feud with the Blood God Sect. Being young is not a disadvantage."

"You are absolutely qualified to serve as the Grand Marshal of the Star River Battlefield."

"Moreover, no one is more suitable than you."

"Grand Master, I am not worried about being unqualified."

On this point, Xu Jin was still very confident.

His strength, battle merits, resume, status, and contributions were all laid out there.

"Then what are you worried about?"

"I am worried about whether it will be... too busy? Too troublesome?"

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao was stunned at first, then a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He knew it.

He had hinted several times about letting Xu Jin succeed him as Grand Master, but this guy wouldn't take the bait at all.

The reason seems to be here.

Suddenly, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao felt inexplicably depressed.

This guy even finds the position of Grand Marshal of the Star River Battlefield troublesome, so what about the position of Grand Master?

When will he, this supreme workhorse, ever be liberated?

Heart-wrenching.

Cheng Yuexiao felt heart-wrenched, but the matter of the Grand Marshal of the Star River Battlefield still had to be arranged.

This concerns the interests of Chen Guo.

Chen Guo was already being targeted by the Heavenly Yang Shang Xinggong and the Azure Shang Xinggong, and previously, when the Grand Void Gate and the Wood Spirit Palace plotted against Chen Guo, they were beaten back severely.

If the position of Grand Marshal of the Star River Battlefield were to be snatched away by the Heavenly Yang Shang Xinggong and the Azure Shang Xinggong as well, it would be too passive.

If Xu Jin could take office, he wouldn't ask for special treatment; he would only ask that Xu Jin be impartial when doing things.

Over these years, Chen Guo has been weak and has been targeted too much.

It has suffered too much anger.

Fine, he still has to do psychological work on this guy Xu Jin.

"Rest assured, the position of Grand Marshal of the Star River Battlefield does not have much trouble, and it will not take up much of your time. When the time comes, I will send a few staff officers to help you handle these miscellaneous affairs; you only need to set the direction," Cheng Yuexiao said.

"In that case, it is acceptable," Xu Jin said.

Cheng Yuexiao looked at Xu Jin's expression of barely being able to accept it, and suddenly had the urge to beat someone up.

How could this make him, this supreme workhorse, feel?

But after thinking about it, he suppressed the urge.

Because he wasn't even sure if he could beat Xu Jin now.

If he could beat him, that would be fine.

If he couldn't beat him, his dignity would be swept away.

Fine, it is better not to make a move and not to beat him.

As long as he doesn't make a move, he will always be Xu Jin's Grand Master.

"In the short term, the population of the Seven Kill Star Domain cannot expand anymore; at least within a year, it cannot expand anymore. If it expands further, the food supply will not be able to keep up," Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao said.

"Grand Master, rest assured, I understand."

The population of the Seven Kill Star Domain has now reached nearly 120,000, and the supply of materials depends entirely on Chen Guo's support.

This is equivalent to Chen Guo having to supply the consumption of an army of 120,000 people in addition to the consumption of the Star River Battlefield.

The pressure on Chen Guo's supplies can be imagined.

"However, rest assured, after a year, the material production of many star domains will stabilize, and your Seven Kill Star Domain will be able to expand again," Cheng Yuexiao said.

Six days later, the remaining seven Sixth Tier star domains were swept clean.

They were also handed over one by one to those Domain Lords who had volunteered from within the country to sit in the star domains for life.

The so-called sweeping meant killing all the Seventh Tier experts, having the Domain Lords and their team members control the spirits of all the peak Sixth Tier experts, and then Xu Jin used the Authority of Heaven and Earth and the Arena of Battle to assist these Sixth Tier experts in breaking through to the Seventh Tier.

Under normal circumstances, these Sixth Tier star domains will be as stable as Mount Tai.

After sweeping seven Sixth Tier star domains, the harvested materials were piled up like mountains, but the Thousand Star Token points finally exchanged were not many.

Only over 1,900 points were exchanged, bringing Xu Jin's Thousand Star Token points to over 2,000.

But it is still a very long way from upgrading to the Third Tier.

Moreover, Xu Jin is truly reluctant to use 10,000 points for an upgrade.

In the seven Sixth Tier star domains, Xu Jin's Law Stars have significantly improved again.

【Fire Source: Low Grade (1)】 【Earth Law: Transforming (1/10)】

【Water Law: Ninth Tier (92)】 【Thunder Law: Ninth Tier (83)】

【Wind Law: Ninth Tier (84)】 【Wood Law: Ninth Tier (86)】

【Metal Law: Ninth Tier (88)】

Currently, two problems have been discovered: first, more than ten new Fire Source Heaven and Earth Star Wills have been obtained, two of which have merged into the Fire Source, and Xu Jin can sense that the Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing has grown a little bit, but essentially there has been no change.

Xu Jin estimates that to improve the Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing, it might require the source power of a Medium World Law Star or even another Great World.

Based on this speculation, Xu Jin is also somewhat curious.

If his Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing needs Great World source power to be strengthened and improved, then what will it eventually evolve into?

A Great World?

Or something else?

As for the other Law Stars, although they have had significant improvements, they have not yet reached the Ninth Tier limit.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Jin has not used the remaining three and a half Divine Dao True Meanings to continue deducing Star Patterns.

If he strengthens and improves the Law Stars of the Arena of Battle to the limit within his capability after sweeping these star domains, the gains from using the Divine Dao True Meanings to deduce Star Patterns should be maximized.

The only thing that makes Xu Jin somewhat depressed is the progress of the Thunder Law Star, which is getting slower and slower.

Actually, the Thunder Law Star is the one Xu Jin most wants to transform; if it accumulates to the limit and then transforms into the Thunder Source, then the power of Xu Jin's current strongest Thunder Star Art will be able to increase by another 20% to 30%.

Just this 20% to 30% increase is enough to greatly increase Xu Jin's confidence in confronting the Ninth Tier.

Besides this, the Space Heaven and Earth Star Will that Xu Jin has been searching for bitterly has not been found even after sweeping so many star domains. Not a single alien race proficient in Space Star Arts has been found either.

This makes it impossible for Xu Jin's idea of reverse-engineering the Space Image Star Pattern to be realized.

Xu Jin is even thinking about whether he can find time to have an open and honest talk with the Master of the Grand Void Gate.

To share what each other has.

To exchange with each other.

Both sides progress together and improve together.

Over the past six days, Xu Jin has been cultivating whenever he had free time, or rather, he has been cultivating most of the time.

Sweeping star domains?

For others, it is a very slow and difficult thing.

But for Xu Jin, once the Space Directional Shift Star Art is used, he can kill all the Seventh Tier experts in a star domain within one hour.

Within one to two hours, he can finish sweeping a Sixth Tier star domain.

The remaining time is all waiting and assisting the takeover personnel.

Because of this, over the past six days, Xu Jin has cast a total of four layers of Cloud Towers, having already cast forty-four layers of Cloud Towers.

Two layers of Spirit Cloud Towers, two layers of Star Power Cloud Towers.

Especially the casting of these two layers of Spirit Cloud Towers has made Xu Jin's Upper Shang Xinggong and Middle-Lower Shang Xinggong merge more thoroughly.

Within the entire Zhai Xing Lou, the spirit aura has permeated up and down, and the Primordial Spirit travels up and down within the Zhai Xing Lou, freely and at will.

It stays wherever it wants to stay.

The strength of the entire Cloud Tower has gone up another level.

According to the original plan, Xu Jin was going to continue sweeping Seventh Tier star domains.

He still has the star domain coordinates of six Seventh Tier star domains in his hands, as well as a temporary Star Gate array disk that is very likely to lead to an Eighth Tier star domain.

But after sweeping so many Sixth Tier star domains, Xu Jin feels that he still needs to be steady.

When sweeping Sixth Tier star domains, Xu Jin discovered that the Star Domain Kings of many Sixth Tier star domains had already achieved unification of the entire star domain.

Many possess 40% or even 60% of the Authority of Heaven and Earth.

Under the blessing of the Authority of Heaven and Earth, a peak Seventh Tier Ninth Layer Star Domain King can erupt with the combat power of a mid-Eighth Tier.

And that is the kind that is surrounded by a group of Seventh Tier experts.

That is only Xu Jin; if it were someone else, their bones would have already been ground into powder.

So the question arises, what about Seventh Tier star domains?

The Star Domain King of a Seventh Tier star domain must be a peak Eighth Tier expert, with at least two or three late Eighth Tier experts by their side, plus the blessing of 50% to 60% of the Authority of Heaven and Earth.

How strong will they be?

Even if they don't have mid-Ninth Tier combat power, they definitely have early Ninth Tier combat power!

Although these peak Eighth Tier alien races are not true Ninth Tier experts, it is better to be steady.

Xu Jin plans to continue casting the Zhai Xing Lou, especially now that the cultivation resources have not been exhausted.

However, Xu Jin took out the Sixth Tier spirit medicines of the spirit type that he had been nourishing previously.

Previously, when killing the Left Protector Fan Kai, Wei Xu, Chai Ce, and others, he had obtained Sixth Tier spirit medicines of the spirit type, and sweeping the Sixth Tier star domains had obtained quite a few more.

Xu Jin gave three to Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, and kept the rest for his own use.

At this time, most of them had already been nourished to completion.

Xu Jin intends to take one a day; once this batch of Sixth Tier spirit medicines of the spirit type is used up, he estimates that his spirit cultivation, even if it doesn't exceed the Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun, will not be much worse than the Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun's.

Currently, Xu Jin's spirit cultivation is at the Fifth Tier limit-breaking level.

The linear radiation distance of the Primordial Spirit's fetal light has already reached 69 meters.

This is stronger than the spirit cultivation of most experts in the current world, but weaker than both the Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun and the Azure Tianyang Xingjun.

Previously, taking one spirit medicine of the spirit type whose efficacy had been nourished to the limit increased the Primordial Spirit's fetal light distance by over 6 meters.

However, as Xu Jin's cultivation gets higher and higher, the improvement range of Sixth Tier spirit medicines of the spirit type on Xu Jin's spirit cultivation will also get weaker and weaker.

Sure enough, an hour later, after Xu Jin took and refined the first spirit medicine of the spirit type whose efficacy had been nourished to the limit, he looked at the linear radiation distance of the Primordial Spirit's fetal light again.

Over 73.5 meters.

Previously, taking one could increase it by over 6 meters, but now it was only over 4.5 meters.

It is estimated that the subsequent efficacy will continue to decline one after another, until it is like the Fifth Tier spirit medicines of the spirit type, which are ineffective when taken.

Calculated, the earlier these spirit medicines are taken, the better the effect.

Just as Xu Jin picked up the second Sixth Tier spirit medicine of the spirit type that had been nourished to the limit to swallow and refine, his heart suddenly moved.

He had a bold idea.

At most, it would just be wasting one Sixth Tier spirit medicine of the spirit type and a little bit of resources, but if it succeeded, the improvement would be huge.

Thinking of it, he did it.

The next instant, Xu Jin took this Sixth Tier spirit medicine of the spirit type into the space above the Arena of Battle.

In an instant, flames surged out from the six star lamps.

At the same time, a Divine Jin Zhu surged out from Xu Jin's brow and was also thrown into the flames of the star lamps.

The next instant, under the flames of the star lamps, this Divine Jin Zhu and this Sixth Tier spirit medicine of the spirit type began to merge, and at the same time, one after another, the starlight of the Arena of Battle containing majestic star power was also continuously injected into the flames of the star lamps.

It's working!

Previously, Xu Jin wanted to improve the rank of the spirit medicines of the spirit type, but he suffered from not having any heaven-defying treasures of the spirit type.

This moment he suddenly thought, aren't the Divine Gold Beads exactly that?

From Xu Jin's current understanding, the Divine Gold Beads should be very precious things, but currently, apart from merging them with spirit attacks as a means of life-saving eruption, Xu Jin does not have many other channels for utilization.

It wouldn't hurt to try it out.

If it succeeds, then he has successfully developed another way to exert the value of the Divine Gold Beads.

After a hundred breaths, the flames of the star lamps above the Arena of Battle stopped rolling, and with a movement of his divine sense, the fused and refined Sixth Tier spirit medicine of the spirit type fell into Xu Jin's hand.

With a slight sense from the Bright Era Star Pattern, it already had the aura of the Seventh Tier.

It was confirmed without a doubt to be a Seventh Tier spirit medicine of the spirit type.

It is a spirit medicine of the spirit type with a value even higher than Eighth Tier spirit medicines.

Because of the fusion with the Divine Jin Zhu, a faint golden light was mixed into the veins of the entire spirit medicine.

Xu Jin's idea was correct.

Next, it was time to test the medicinal power.

Without hesitation, a priceless Seventh Tier spirit medicine of the spirit type was swallowed by Xu Jin, and when the majestic medicinal power erupted, he quickly refined it.

Half an hour later, Xu Jin slowly opened his eyes, with spirit flowing.

Just by looking at the changes in his eyes, one knew that his spirit cultivation had improved again.

As his divine sense urged, Xu Jin's Primordial Spirit fetal light projected straight out in an instant.

81 meters!

7 meters!

One Seventh Tier spirit medicine of the spirit type directly caused Xu Jin's Primordial Spirit fetal light radiation distance to soar by 7 meters, and his spirit cultivation soared by nearly 10%.

Worth it!

Super worth it!

The role of this one Divine Jin Zhu can be considered to have been fully exerted.

The effect of a one-time eruption is much smaller than the effect of the growth of the body's cultivation.

With a few more, the 100-meter mark is just around the corner!

The next instant, Xu Jin was not idle either, directly starting to fuse and upgrade one Sixth Tier spirit medicine of the spirit type after another with the Divine Gold Beads.

During this, Xu Jin did not forget to send a starlight message to Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, telling the Grand Master to keep those three spirit medicines of the spirit type and not use them yet, and to use them in a few days.

Compared to Sixth Tier spirit medicines of the spirit type, the role of Seventh Tier spirit medicines of the spirit type, even if not doubled, is not far off.

Especially for the Grand Master and the others whose spirit cultivation has not broken through the limit below the Primordial Spirit peak, the improvement range should be even greater.

With two or three, it is absolutely possible to improve the Grand Master's spirit cultivation to the late Primordial Spirit stage or even the peak Primordial Spirit stage in a short time.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's combat power will be able to improve significantly again.

Once the Grand Master's combat power improves, Xu Jin will be even more relaxed.

Regarding Xu Jin's starlight message, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao did not even ask for the reason and agreed in one breath.

It was given by Xu Jin in the first place, so why ask so much? Just keep it.

Anyway, he hasn't had time to use it in the last few days.

Five hours later, Xu Jin fused and upgraded all the remaining seven Sixth Tier spirit medicines of the spirit type in his hand into Seventh Tier spirit medicines, and then threw them into the star lamps to continue nourishing.

From now on, one Seventh Tier spirit medicine of the spirit type a day, just ask how the Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun can compare?

Besides this, there were quite a few Fifth Tier spirit medicines of the spirit type, which were also upgraded to the Sixth Tier by Xu Jin; one Divine Jin Zhu can upgrade three to four Fifth Tier spirit medicines of the spirit type.

At the same time, Xu Jin discovered that only spirit medicines of the spirit type that had been nourished to the limit could be upgraded with the Divine Gold Beads.

Otherwise, the upgrade would fail.

And in the following time, Xu Jin had been cultivating in seclusion, had been casting the Cloud Towers, and took one Seventh Tier spirit medicine of the spirit type every other day.

Twelve days later, April 7th, Xu Jin, who was casting the 60th layer of the Cloud Tower, suddenly received a message from Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao.

【Return quickly, today I will push you to the position of Grand Marshal of the Star River Battlefield!】
