Chapter 641

"Did you feed it Earth Abyss Spirit Sand?"

"That stuff can indeed make a Star River Solitary Island grow and expand rapidly, but one or two portions probably aren't enough. To grow to this extent, you'd need at least five or six portions of Earth Abyss Spirit Sand.

Little Jinzi, Old Yu has to remind you: at this stage, at least at this stage, don't spend too many points on your Star River Solitary Island; the cost-effectiveness isn't high.

Besides, points are something you'll need more of as your cultivation increases, but they are also harder to earn." Having received Xu Jin's answer, Youyu Zhenjun looked at the Star River Solitary Island, which was the size of two rooms, and inexplicably recalled his own past experiences, offering this advice.

Afterward, he gave a slight, bitter smile.

After becoming a grand-uncle-master, has he finally lived to become the person he hated most?

When he was young, he hated it most when his elders lectured him like this.

"That's not the case; this was loot obtained after slaying a Ninth Tier expert."

Xu Jin hurriedly explained.

Sure enough, one lie requires countless other lies to cover it up.

Previously, under Youyu Zhenjun's questioning, Xu Jin had given a perfunctory answer, saying he had integrated Earth Abyss Spirit Sand into the Star River Solitary Island.

This is a treasure used by Ninth Tier cultivators who practice Earth-type star arts, and it is also one of the many heavenly treasures that Emperor Fenghua had previously listed for Xu Jin that could accelerate the growth of a Star River Solitary Island.

As for the true reason for the Star River Solitary Island's rapid growth, Xu Jin would not let it slip.

Even to his own master, Emperor Fenghua, Xu Jin felt that he couldn't tell him yet.

He would have to see how things went in the future.

Xu Jin hadn't fully understood the importance and significance of the Arena Law Stars before.

But after it ascended to a Lei Lei Yuanxing, Xu Jin thoroughly realized the importance of the item.

It was a supreme treasure, let alone for a True Person; it was likely useful even for experts at the Emperor level.

"That's also fine."

"Old Yu, there's no time to lose; let me start the breakthrough early. It might take a while. There are twenty-three days left until you host the next Black Tower trial mission.

I will strive to break through to the Seventh Tier within twenty-three days," Xu Jin said.

"Within twenty-three days?

That shouldn't be necessary, right?"

Youyu Zhenjun was somewhat astonished, "The technique Emperor Fenghua passed to you should be the Star-Suppressing Art, right? In most cases, seven or eight days is the absolute maximum.

Your Dao Embryo is already formed; you should break through in two or three days at most."

"I want to use a Great World Star as my Life Star," Xu Jin said.

Youyu Zhenjun was relieved, "If it's a Great World, it really depends on luck. Some people take five or six days, others take ten days or half a month."

After finishing, Youyu Zhenjun added, "Since you are using a Great World Star as your Life Star and breaking through on the Star River Solitary Island, there is one thing I must tell you in advance."

"I ask for your guidance, Grand-Uncle-Master," Xu Jin said solemnly.

"When breaking through to the Seventh Tier, regardless of whether you choose a Small World, Middle World, or Great World Star, one point is very important. It is actually somewhat similar to selecting soldiers."

"Selecting soldiers?"

"Yes, in the mortal realm, when selecting soldiers, they are all adult men, and their appearances are mostly similar, but some can only draw a one or two-stone bow, while others have immense strength and can draw an eight-stone bow, lifting a thousand catties. Some have wind under their feet and can sprint hundreds of miles without tiring, while others rest after ten miles.

They are all adult men, but their conditions differ greatly.

Among Small World and Middle World stars, there are not necessarily no powerful stars, and among Great World stars, there are also those that are just for show.

Therefore, you must sense and screen them carefully," Youyu Zhenjun said.

"Grand-Uncle-Master, is there a screening method that doesn't require connecting to them?" Xu Jin asked.

"That, there is not."

Youyu Zhenjun nodded, "It is said that the source power of a Great World Star is related to the number of Middle Worlds and Small Worlds it governs.

Some Great Worlds only govern a few Middle Worlds, so their source power is relatively weaker; others govern a dozen or even dozens of Middle Worlds, so their source power is naturally powerful.

But the killing tribulations they face in the future are also extremely terrifying.

There are also some Great Worlds that do not govern many Middle Worlds, but the number of Small Worlds governed under their Middle Worlds is extremely large.

It is rumored that there is a Middle World that governs three thousand Small Worlds, which can be considered the highest in number.

These all require you to sense them carefully.

However, you must be prepared to make trade-offs.

When breaking through at the Sixth Tier, it is very difficult to sense and screen even one Great World. Even with the help of a Dao Embryo, it only increases the probability by ten or twenty percent.

Therefore, during the process of sensing and screening, don't be too picky.

If there are flowers to be plucked, pluck them.

If you miss it and look back, you won't be able to find it again.

The next one is not necessarily better than the previous one.

Many people, while breaking through, always feel they can find a better one, but after searching and searching, they find the previous one was better after all. They regret it, but they have already missed it and cannot find it again," Youyu Zhenjun said.

Xu Jin was stunned.

He felt that Youyu Zhenjun was giving him advice on cultivation precautions.

Yet it sounded somewhat like he was talking about life's great truths, and also like he was talking about his own personal experiences.

"Grand-Uncle-Master, I have remembered."

"Then start the breakthrough. Remember, if there is any movement or disturbance in the outside world, you need not pay it any mind; I will deal with it for you," Youyu Zhenjun said.

"Thank you, Grand-Uncle-Master."

Youyu Zhenjun nodded, instantly turned and left Xu Jin several meters away, sat cross-legged on the spot, and retracted his aura, as if he had merged with Xu Jin's Star River Solitary Island. Without looking with the naked eye, one would not be able to discover his existence.

Before starting the breakthrough, Xu Jin's heart stirred, and he released the little white tiger directly.

Previously, when fighting Ju Zhang and Xuan Hu on the Eight Desolates Continent, Xu Jin felt seriously that he was missing a helper.

Now he wanted to let the little white tiger break through to the Eighth Tier.

The golden horn on the head of the Jin Zhu alien was the best food Xu Jin had discovered for improving its cultivation, other than Gold Spirit.

In any case, Xu Jin was not short of the few hundred points that this golden horn could be exchanged for recently.

At this moment, he released the little white tiger.

He casually took out the few Eighth Tier golden horns he had obtained previously and even gave it an extra Ninth Tier golden horn.

With this food, the little white tiger's cultivation should be able to break through to the Eighth Tier, right?

But the moment the little white tiger was released, Youyu Zhenjun's expression suddenly became serious.

"Little Jinzi, where did you get this treasure?"

"Treasure?"

Xu Jin, in his surprise, told the truth.

Hearing this, Youyu Zhenjun shook his head, "The origin of this treasure might be greater than you imagine. This Bai Hu Killing Spirit is a wisp of innate Geng Metal killing aura that has been nurtured in the Bai Hu Star Wall for over a hundred years before it could possibly give birth to spiritual intelligence.

Then, through a stroke of luck, it was obtained by someone.

With innate Geng Metal killing aura as the core, acquired Geng Metal killing aura as the bone, and various Gold-type star powers as flesh and blood, its future is limitless.

Especially when it reaches the Emperor level, it can even guide or even feed back into the innate Geng Metal killing aura.

It is a supreme treasure for those who practice Gold-type star arts.

The root cause behind it is highly likely related to an Emperor who specializes in Gold-type star arts.

And it is related to that kind of powerful Emperor who has already forged an innate Geng Metal Dao Body.

Although the probability of encountering it is extremely, extremely small, you should still not show it off in front of others.

Also, your method of cultivating it is wrong," Youyu Zhenjun said.

This left Xu Jin astonished; this thing was originally refined by Ju Xuan in the golden horn on his forehead, and it is related to an Emperor?

However, Xu Jin threw this thought to the back of his mind; it seemed as if everyone had an Emperor behind them.

He now also had Emperor Fenghua behind him.

Xu Jin's focus was on the little white tiger's cultivation method.

"I ask for your guidance, Grand-Uncle-Master."

"Didn't I just say it? It uses innate Geng Metal killing aura as the core, acquired Geng Metal killing aura as the bone, and Gold-type star power as flesh and blood.

This little fellow is so bloated and fat because it has been fed too much Gold-type star power, but it lacks acquired Geng Metal killing aura to let it break through its realm.

It has the ability to rapidly devour Gold-type star power itself. It lacks innate and acquired Geng Metal killing aura; if you want it to improve rapidly, you need these two treasures."

After finishing, Youyu Zhenjun looked at the Jin Zhu clan's golden horn that Xu Jin had taken out and said, "This thing also contains a little bit of acquired Geng Metal killing aura, but not much.

It will let it break through, but for rapid growth, it is far from enough.

Forget it, anyway, I am idle, and we are on the Star River Solitary Island.

I can't get innate Geng Metal killing aura, but I can still get some acquired Geng Metal killing aura; it's your lucky day, brat."

While speaking, Youyu Zhenjun beckoned and sucked the Seventh Tier Ninth Layer peak little white tiger into his arms.

He gave it a casual stroke and laughed, "This thing being fat has its benefits; it feels good to stroke."

"Roar!"

The little white tiger, being handled by Youyu Zhenjun, let out an angry low growl, its tail raised and its spine arched.

Slap!

Youyu Zhenjun gave it just one slap, and the little white tiger's eyes immediately cleared, its bristling body becoming soft, allowing Youyu Zhenjun to handle it as he pleased.

"You break through; this little fellow can just keep me company and relieve my boredom. While I'm at it, I'll improve it a bit."

It wasn't seen how Youyu Zhenjun moved, but the long sword on his back just trembled lightly, and a forest-white, sharp killing aura flew from the star river, instantly merging into the little white tiger's body.

The latter let out a comfortable meow and began to nuzzle hard into Youyu Zhenjun's arms.

Xu Jin was astonished.

So fake!

Damn it.

Don't let this little thing be turned by Youyu Zhenjun while he is breaking through.

However, if this little thing could truly improve rapidly, it would be a great help in the future.

The next moment, Xu Jin began to collect his mind, preparing to break through.

His star power and divine soul had already recovered to their peak state.

The next moment, Xu Jin focused his Dao Embryo, used the Dao Embryo to activate the Lei Yuan Star Pattern and the Void Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, and then, according to the first step of the Killing Star Art, continuously injected star power and divine soul power, continuously activating these two star patterns, and with a faint connection, rapidly rippled toward the depths of the void.

In fact, whether it is the Prayer Star Art, Harmony Star Art, Star-Suppressing Art, or the first step of the Killing Star Art, they are all about the same.

The key is that the subsequent steps are different.

The main purpose is to find a star that matches one's own attributes.

According to the introduction by his master, Emperor Fenghua, this is actually just a process of elimination.

In fact, most Middle Worlds and almost all Great Worlds possess all source attributes.

For example, the spatial source; in fact, regardless of whether it is large, medium, or small, it has it. It is the basis for the existence of a star, but the bias is different.

Another example is the Five Elements source; this is the superficial basis of many worlds. As long as it is a Great World, it must have the Five Elements source.

But some Small Worlds have the possibility of having a single source.

Since Xu Jin has already initially decided to walk the path of the Great Chaos Spirit Body in the future, with space and thunder as the main forces, then those stars that are extremely biased toward a certain source must be excluded, and only those stars with powerful thunder source can be selected.

It is precisely because of this situation that this first step of Xu Jin's Seventh Tier breakthrough is many times more complex than others.

Many people breaking through to the Seventh Tier, such as Kou Jing, Meng Yanhui, and others, will start breaking through as soon as they sense a single Small World star, which is very fast.

For Xu Jin, however, it is a relatively long process.

But what is different from others is that when other people break through to the Seventh Tier, they sense from within their own star domain toward the depths of the star river.

Whereas Xu Jin is directly penetrating deep into the star river.

In just an instant, Xu Jin sensed countless stars.

Even with the Mingji Star Pattern, it only made Xu Jin's sensing a little clearer.

As the Lei Yuan and Void Source star patterns were activated and fluctuated, the auras of countless stars also began to weakly fluctuate and echo.

Any star that possesses spatial source and thunder source will vaguely echo with the weak aura of Xu Jin penetrating deep into the star river.

Normal sensing is quite difficult, but Xu Jin's Mingji Star Pattern has exponentially amplified this sensing.

Making Xu Jin's breakthrough much easier.

It also relatively lowered the difficulty of his choosing a Great World.

However, in the faint sensing, there are countless stars in the star river, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish which star is a Great World star, which star is a Small World star, and which star is a Middle World star.

This requires entering the process of breaking through.

It requires Xu Jin to actively connect to one star after another, and then sense them.

This kind of sensing consumes a lot of divine soul power.

But more importantly, because after a faint connection, one must sense the star source, and when sensing this star source, one must use one's own divine soul source to trigger it.

Every trigger is a consumption of the divine soul source.

If the divine soul source is consumed too much, the Dao foundation will be damaged.

Therefore, ordinary Sixth Tier cultivators can try to break through at most three rounds; after three rounds of failure, there is basically no possibility of successfully breaking through, because the divine soul source has been consumed too much, and the Dao foundation is damaged.

Ordinary cultivators, depending on the strength of their primordial spirit cultivation, can continue to screen stars three to five times per round.

But those who nurture a Dao Embryo have a stronger and more resilient divine soul source; each time they break through, they can connect to stars and sense the source at least nearly a hundred times, and at most over a hundred times.

But the divine soul source is easy to consume, yet very difficult to recover.

This is also why Emperor Fenghua suggested that if Xu Jin fails in one round of breakthrough, he must break through in the second round.

If there is a third round, even if the breakthrough is successful, it will damage the Dao foundation, harming the Dao path or even longevity.

In the star river, the power of Xu Jin's two star patterns reaching out with full force was as weak as a candle; facing thousands of stars in all directions, Xu Jin also suddenly understood the difficulty of wanting to use a Great World star as his Life Star.

In the star river, Small Worlds should be the most numerous, occupying ninety percent; Middle Worlds come next, occupying less than ten percent; Great Worlds might only be one percent, or even less than one percent.

Xu Jin now somewhat understands why even his master, Emperor Fenghua's Life Star, was only a Middle World star.

Even if the Dao Embryo is already formed, the probability of finding a Middle World is only ten percent, which is still acceptable, but the probability of finding a Great World star is only one percent.

There is no guarantee here.

It is like the probability of drawing cards in many scam mobile games in his previous life; the one percent probability, if you are a lucky person, you might get one in less than a hundred draws, and you might get one in five hundred draws, but in a thousand draws, you might not get one.

For those with bad luck, not getting one in a thousand draws is a very normal thing.

Emperor Fenghua's instruction to him to use a Middle World as his Life Star when the situation is about the same was very normal.

It is not that Emperor Fenghua is unwilling, but the difficulty involved is too great.

The next moment, Xu Jin began to activate his Dao Embryo to connect to the first star that felt about right.

And then sense it.

A quarter of an hour later, he abandoned it; it was a Small World star.

Half a day later, Xu Jin's brows were slightly locked.

It had been fifteen times; let alone a Great World, he hadn't even encountered a Middle World.

A bit of bad luck.

"How did the Seven-Kill True Person find a Great World star back then?

Good luck?

Or is this technique just his hypothesis?"

Thinking of this, Xu Jin's heart suddenly stirred.

Why not try the high-tier Seven-Kill Sword Heart?

That was the high-tier Seven-Kill Sword Heart he had worked hard to practice for over a year to achieve.

Stars also have life fluctuations.

The next moment, Xu Jin's heart stirred, and in an instant, he activated the high-tier Seven-Kill Sword Heart nurtured in his Dao Embryo.

As he activated it, the life auras emitted by the thousands of stars Xu Jin sensed in all directions in the star river had distinct differences and changes.

From weak to ordinary to strong, under the sensing of the high-tier Seven-Kill Sword Heart, it was exceptionally obvious.

Xu Jin was happy; aren't these Small World, Middle World, and Great World stars?

A star he hadn't chosen before happened to be a Great World star.

Now it's stable.
