Chapter 664

In three months, the war on the Star River Continent had ended, and the benefits had been divided.

But within the present world, there were undercurrents surging.

The main reason was the fall of the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun and Cangming Tianyang Xingjun, as well as the seclusion of the Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun.

Of the six Ninth-Tier powerhouses of the current age, only Da Chen Grand Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao and Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei remained, and it just so happened that these two were one body.

What was even more fatal was that the one who slew the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun and Cangming Tianyang Xingjun was none other than Da Chen's Domain-Suppressing Heavenly King, Xu Jin.

This news spread.

Panic spread like a plague among the human race of the present world.

Under such circumstances, the newly conquered Eight Desolations Continent almost fell entirely into the hands of Da Chen, while Da Chu and Da Hong didn't even have the courage to fight for it.

Great Elder Wang Kan of the Tianyang Star Palace, in panic, actually forcibly opened the Da Hong national treasury, and then intended to retreat to the Tianyang Small World with massive wealth and materials.

But he was killed by Elder Peng and the Wood Spirit Palace Master, who held the authority of the Tianyang Small World.

From then on, the great drama of dividing the Da Hong Empire had begun.

The rest was just a matter of time.

If it weren't for the fact that Da Chen was consolidating its fruits of victory on the Eight Desolations Continent and the Star River battlefield and was temporarily unable to swallow it all, Da Hong would probably have been incorporated into Da Chen's territory by now.

But even so, Da Hong itself was in chaos first.

The new Emperor of Da Hong actually took the initiative to cede territory and pay tribute.

Currently, three prefectures had already been ceded to Da Chen.

One of the prefectures had already been allocated to the Wood Spirit Palace for development.

It was Kong Shuo, the new Great Elder of the Cangming Star Palace, who saw the opportunity extremely quickly.

He took the initiative to send the Cangming Small World to the Domain-Suppressing King's Mansion, and sent over a Seventh-Tier star domain, a Sixth-Tier star domain, and two Fifth-Tier star domains.

Xu Jin naturally let Ji Hongli accept them and handed them to Ji Hongli to manage, which would be considered star domains directly controlled by the Domain-Suppressing King's Mansion in the future.

The Sixth-Tier star domain and Fifth-Tier star domains were directly distributed to the Ji family; that was what the Ji family deserved.

It could also be considered Xu Jin's betrothal gift.

Inside the Domain-Suppressing King's Mansion, Grand Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao was reporting to Xu Jin. In three months, Grand Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao had lost a circle of weight, but his whole person was extremely spirited.

"Unifying the present world is easy to handle; as long as no external forces intervene again, the great unification can be completed within three years.

My main energy now is placed on the newly established Holy Palace.

As long as this Holy Palace is built and organized, then the great unification of the entire Kunling Realm is not so important.

But the faith and hearts of the people of the entire continent can be gathered into the Star Vault Holy Palace.

My plan is like this: although the deaths of the several great Star Lords have been spread, most of them are in a fog.

As long as I let the various star palaces and official government of various countries publicly state their positions, and then let the Palace Masters who preside over the Holy Palace quickly promote Wood-type star arts, especially Star Healing, and then go deep among the ordinary people to save the wounded and heal the sick, we can gather the hearts of the people.

It won't be long before the Star Vault Holy Palace becomes the number one holy religion of the Kunling Realm.

By then, whether it is unified or not is no longer important.

At that time, with the Ninth-Tier represented by me and the Wood Spirit Palace, as well as the top Eighth-Tier of the current age, becoming the high-level members of the Holy Religion, independent of the secular countries, bringing blessings to the ordinary people, and with you, the Holy Venerable, occasionally manifesting divinity among humans, an eternal foundation can be achieved..."

Cheng Yuexiao's report directly left Xu Jin dumbfounded.

He looked at Grand Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao with a look like he had seen a ghost.

His talent in this aspect was too terrifying.

He only gave a general direction, but this person, behind closed doors, actually created a theocratic empire.

Too scary.

And according to Cheng Yuexiao's plan, secular empires coexisted, the Holy Palace was high above, and messengers of the Holy Palace who were good at Star Healing star arts walked among humans, spreading blessings.

It could absolutely gather the faith of all people.

This made a terrifying thought instantly emerge in Xu Jin's heart: as long as Cheng Yuexiao's vision succeeded, even if it only succeeded in part, then the entire Kunling Realm would become a Divine Dao Golden Bead manufacturing machine.

Now, the two divine statues in the Seven Kills Star Domain could provide Xu Jin with four to five small Divine Dao Golden Beads every day.

But as long as Cheng Yuexiao's plan was successfully realized, forty a day, or even four hundred a day, was possible.

"At that time, the Holy Palace can restrict imperial power, and at the same time, it can control disputes to a certain extent. The lives of ordinary people should be a little better," Cheng Yuexiao said with his eyes shining.

"Grand Preceptor, have you considered another problem?"

"What problem?"

"Class corruption within the Holy Palace? After holding power for a long time, the interior will also produce corruption like an empire, or even become a huge disaster," Xu Jin said.

"This is unavoidable. However, the supreme military power is in your hands and mine, and there are even interrogation methods like Wen Meng's. Find one, clear one; find a nest, clear a nest. Just do our best," Cheng Yuexiao said.

"Then these matters will be left to you, Grand Preceptor," Xu Jin said with a smile and was about to leave to continue being a hands-off shopkeeper, but was pulled by Cheng Yuexiao.

"I can handle other things, but two things require you, the Holy Venerable, to participate personally, especially before the wedding," Cheng Yuexiao said anxiously.

"One is the matter of divine statues. The number of divine statues is too small. Currently, according to the clues you obtained from the Baidou Divine Sect before, we are encircling and suppressing the star domains of the Baidou Divine Sect to obtain those Star God remains.

The second thing is that in order to quickly form faith, you, the Holy Venerable, need to manifest divine miracles. Anyway, you are idle when you are idle; with Heaven and Earth Authority, it is too easy."

"Good!"

Xu Jin agreed in one breath.

Isn't it just pretending to be a god and playing the devil? Xu Jin was familiar with this matter.

Next, in the half month before the wedding, Xu Jin could be said to be working continuously. During the day, he traveled between the newly established Star Vault Holy Palaces in various places to manifest divine miracles, and at night, he provided strength support for other elites to sweep the star domains.

Of course, this was the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, Xu Jin would be in the warmth of jade and fragrance, sleeping under the same quilt, living that unprecedented happy life.

Mainly, the star domains where the Baidou Divine Sect had established divine statues were rarely Seventh-Tier and Eighth-Tier, and most of them were within Fourth-Tier, Fifth-Tier, and Sixth-Tier star domains.

And sweeping the star domains, ordinary elites were not enough; they had to be top-tier elites in combat power.

The team Xu Jin had cultivated before was put to use.

For example, Ying Ge.

Jiang Er also began to practice in actual combat, as well as Da Niu, Ji Fei, and others.

Their strength was far beyond their peers, and with the cooperation of experienced elites, sweeping the star domains was most appropriate.

As for Xu Jin, he mainly provided some spatial emblems for emergency and life-saving purposes.

Every time, he could bring back Star God remains.

Before the wedding, the relevant star domains of the Baidou Divine Sect had all been swept, and a total of twenty-two new Star God remains had been seized.

Up to now, counting the seizures from the Baidou Sect Master and the two sections obtained previously, there were a total of thirty sections of True God remains.

That is to say, in the future, the entire Kunling Realm, including the Seven Kills Star Domain, could build at most thirty divine statues.

Xu Jin had already anticipated that the first factor limiting Cheng Yuexiao's expansion of the Star Vault Holy Palace in the future would be the core of constructing the divine statues.

But Xu Jin was not in a hurry.

Why be so greedy?

Cheng Yuexiao's move made Xu Jin the Holy Venerable of the Kunling Realm, and the harvest of Divine Dao Golden Beads in the future was very likely to increase by a hundredfold.

Do it slowly.

Wait until Xu Jin's cultivation improved significantly, then think of a way to solve this problem.

December 26th was the wedding day of Domain-Suppressing Heavenly Wang Xu Jin. Not only was the Domain-Suppressing King's City decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, full of red makeup.

The imperial capitals of Da Chen, Da Chu, and Da Hong, the Barbarian Royal City, and the prefectural cities of various countries were also decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers.

The team going to the Domain-Suppressing King's City, which was the original Jinshan Juncheng, to send gifts was lined up for twenty miles.

And inside the Domain-Suppressing King's City, early in the morning, Xu Jin took Ji Hongli, Ning Yuchan, and Drunken Moon Zuiyue Xianzi to pay respects to the ancestors of each family one by one, and the grand but headache-inducing wedding for Xu Jin officially began.

Undoubtedly, Ji Hongli, who had been presiding over the Domain-Suppressing King's Mansion for a year, was the primary wife of the Domain-Suppressing King, while Ning Yuchan and Luo Hao Yue were naturally equal wives.

Of course, it was only in name.

The three beauties each had their own things to do.

Internal fighting? They probably didn't have the leisure.

Ji Hongli couldn't even manage the industries of the Domain-Suppressing King's Mansion now and wished someone would come to share the burden.

Ning Yuchan herself was the commander of the Profound Tiger Army. Because of her military exploits, she had now been promoted to the Vice Viceroy of the Da Chen Star-Patrolling Guard, and at the same time, she was also working part-time in the Star Vault Holy Palace.

As for the Drunken Moon Zuiyue Xianzi, with Xu Jin's help, her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. Now she was the new Sumeru Palace Master and had obtained two prefectures to develop and strengthen the Sumeru Palace.

If the few of them really wanted to fight, the only one who would be anxious was Xu Jin.

Especially Xu Jin tonight.

In the Kunling Realm, marrying three brides in one day was still relatively rare.

At the banquet, many people had already started gossiping about this matter.

"It must be going to the primary wife's room first; this is the etiquette!"

"I heard that the female Palace Master of the Sumeru Palace was only decided recently. I guess he will definitely taste the fresh one."

"If you ask me, General Ning has a unique flavor, and on the battlefield, they meet less and part more..."

Inside the King's Mansion, the discussions of these guests all fell into the ears of Xu Jin, who was toasting the guests in the inner courtyard, but Xu Jin secretly sneered. These people were worrying too much.

In the backyard of the King's Mansion, the three brides wearing phoenix crowns, although not in the same room, were also silently communicating with Divine Sense.

The content of the communication was only one thing: whose room would Xu Jin go to first tonight.

"Go to Sister Ning's place first," Ji Hongli was the one with the most demeanor of a primary wife.

"Why not go to Hao Yue's side first? Hao Yue is the youngest."

"Two sisters are ahead, how dare I fight to be first."

The three of them discussed for a long time, but didn't discuss a result, directly discussing Ning Yuchan's anger up.

"Where is there so much trouble? People of the underworld, together tonight! Anyway, he also..."

Hearing this, Ji Hongli and Hao Yue were dumbfounded, their pretty faces flying red, but they didn't object.

In the outer courtyard of the Domain-Suppressing King's Mansion, at a banquet table, several brothers who had pointed stars with Xu Jin at the Jinshan Dao Academy at the same time, looked at the sea of people in the outer courtyard, and then looked at the inner courtyard, each feeling emotional.

Qian Xiaohu, Wang Weisheng, Zhang Han, including Lu Xianbing who came to accompany them, each looked at the direction of the inner courtyard and felt emotional.

Recalling the time of pointing stars three or four years ago, it was like a dream.

Only three or four years of time, and it was already a difference between clouds and mud.

Among them, the strongest in cultivation belonged to Wang Weisheng and Lu Xianbing, whose cultivation was currently just breaking through to the Fifth Tier not long ago.

If this were placed in the Jinshan Juncheng before, that would also be a figure of the wind and clouds. After all, the previous Mountain Master was only at the Fifth-Tier Ninth Layer.

But now, they didn't even have the qualifications to enter the inner courtyard.

Of course, even if they wanted to let them in, they wouldn't dare to enter.

In the inner courtyard, the lowest cultivation was the Seventh Tier, all of whom were the heads and brains of the Kunling Realm.

Even so, it was because they had old ties with Xu Jin that they had the opportunity to enter the outer courtyard.

More of those who came for the name, the cultivators of various countries, were all eating flowing banquets outside the King's Mansion. Guests from afar, no matter who they were, a flowing banquet was indispensable.

Inside the Domain-Suppressing King's Mansion, Xu Jin was now in a high position, so naturally, he wouldn't go to toast everyone like an ordinary person.

Toasting those elders and true friends was considered the end.

As for disturbing the bridal chamber?

Who dared to disturb Xu Jin's bridal chamber?

Or rather, who dared to disturb the Jade Rakshasa's bridal chamber?

Even Grand Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao couldn't do it.

Looking at Grand Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao who followed, Xu Jin had already made up his mind. If Grand Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao dared to disturb the bridal chamber, he would give him a ruthless one today.

"What kind of look is this?" Looking at Xu Jin's slightly fierce look, Grand Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao, who followed, was somewhat puzzled.

"Grand Preceptor, I'm about to enter the bridal chamber, why are you always following me?" Xu Jin said while rubbing his fists.

"Look at me!"

Grand Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao patted his head, smiled bitterly first, and then took out a big gift box.

"This is?"

"Others have gifts, how can I not have a gift for your wedding?" Cheng Yuexiao smiled.

"Grand Preceptor, between you and me, this is unnecessary. You getting the Star Vault Holy Religion done for me is the best gift," Xu Jin said.

Cheng Yuexiao smiled, "This gift of mine represents the entire Da Chen, and even the ordinary people of the entire present world! You might not have noticed, but you have invisibly saved thousands of families and thousands of ordinary people, and this is true."

Xu Jin heard this and became solemn, "Grand Preceptor speaks solemnly."

"You should understand that a grain of sand in this world, falling on an ordinary person, is despair like the collapse of heaven and earth!

Actually, this is also the root motivation for me to establish the Star Vault Holy Palace.

I hope that in the future, you can continue to protect the thousands of ordinary people in the Kunling Realm, especially the ordinary people.

I have always believed that the stone of rice and the roll of silk they handed over cast the current prosperous age, but they are also the people who suffer the most.

Until you appeared.

In the nearly three thousand years of history of the Kunling Realm, there have been countless powerhouses, but in actual action, you are the first person to take care of and consider the safety of these ordinary people, and even put them first.

So I hope that in the future, they can still obtain your protection," Cheng Yuexiao said seriously.

Hearing this, Xu Jin bowed very formally, "Grand Preceptor, I will do my best!"

"Good, the spring night is short, I won't disturb you." The Grand Preceptor bowed, turned around, stepped out, and left just like that.

It was just that Grand Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao's spatial star art had also been cultivated to a certain degree.

Subsequently, Xu Jin opened the box and smiled.

It seemed that only the Grand Preceptor knew what Xu Jin needed.

Inside the box, neatly arranged were all kinds of star cores.

Mainly Seventh-Tier and Eighth-Tier star cores.

There were over 18,000 Seventh-Tier star cores, and as many as 1,200 Eighth-Tier star cores.

"The Grand Preceptor is thoughtful, knowing what I need."

With a movement of the Thousand Star Token, as the vast starlight flashed, Xu Jin directly sent these star cores away.

A dozen breaths later, starlight feedback returned on the Thousand Star Token.

A total of over 12,000 points were calculated for Xu Jin.

Mainly because a large part of the Seventh-Tier ones were Seventh-Tier mid-to-late stage, and the point harvest was also not bad.

Xu Jin's Thousand Star Token points increased again. Counting the 3,000 points given by the Thousand Star Alliance in December, Xu Jin's Thousand Star Token points had now grown back to over 61,000.

After handling these, Xu Jin stepped into the inner residence.

As the saying goes, the spring night is short.

Who should he go to first?

This is a problem.

If one choice is not good, it is easy to lead to family conflicts.

This made Xu Jin feel a little headache.

"Why not use Wen Meng to hypnotize them, so that everyone is the first?"

Xu Jin was happy about his whimsical idea, but when his Divine Sense spread slightly, he was stunned in an instant.

The next instant, blood surged onto Xu Jin's face.

This lineup was what every man dreamed of.

Any man who saw this scene couldn't endure it!

Inside the bedroom, Ji Hongli, Ning Yuchan, and Drunken Moon Zuiyue Xianzi were wearing phoenix crowns, sitting side by side, looking at Xu Jin who rushed in, each with pretty faces flying red.

The next instant, starlight spread out, the phoenix crowns of the three brides all flew up, and amidst the delicate calls, Xu Jin's happy moment arrived...

Xu Jin finally knew why the monarch didn't hold morning court early!

Even with perseverance as strong as his, he didn't even do his morning and evening lessons recently, immersing himself in the gentle village every day, turning red waves every night.

As for delaying cultivation or something, Xu Jin didn't care.

Immersed is immersed.

If life is just bitter cultivation, then it's meaningless.

Of course, it was only not holding morning court early; the affairs of the Star Vault Holy Palace were a thousand threads and ten thousand strands, and there was still a lot to be busy with.

The time when the monarch didn't hold morning court early hadn't lasted for half a month before Ning Yuchan left first temporarily; military affairs were busy!

In Xu Jin's happy time, the thirty Holy Venerable divine statues of the Star Vault Holy Palace had all gotten on the right track, and had also accumulated a certain number of believers, and had already begun to harvest Divine Dao Golden Beads.

On January 10th, Xu Jin used the spatial shift star art to span more than half of the Kunling Realm, walked through all the locations of his thirty Holy Venerable divine statues, and collected the Divine Dao Golden Beads again.

Except for the divine statue in the Seven Kills Star Domain which could have three Divine Dao Golden Beads a day, the other newly built divine statues could collect one to two Divine Dao Golden Beads a day.

But only the divine statues in the capitals of various countries could collect two Divine Dao Golden Beads a day.

The divine statues in other places could only collect one Divine Dao Golden Bead a day, and some couldn't even collect one a day.

But the total amount of Divine Dao Golden Beads harvested in a day also reached a shocking forty.

And this was the effect of the Star Vault Holy Palace just spreading out.

Wait for the Star Vault Holy Palace to develop and strengthen for a year or two, Xu Jin estimated that collecting one hundred or even two hundred Divine Dao Golden Beads a day would not be a problem.

But even so, in just one month, plus the previous accumulation, the Divine Dao Golden Beads Xu Jin harvested reached a shocking number.

Over 1,100.

He hadn't fought with a real Tianyang Xingjun.

But Xu Jin felt that even if a real Little Tianyang Xingjun came, injecting two hundred or even three hundred Divine Dao Golden Beads into the Divine Soul star art and bombing them together, even a Little Tianyang Xingjun would be seriously injured if not dead.

This could be considered another life-saving trump card of Xu Jin.

With the stabilization of various matters, Xu Jin's cultivation gradually returned to normal.

His cultivation had reached the Seventh-Tier Ninth Layer peak.

Xu Jin prepared to find a time to break through to the Eighth Tier, and then officially began to cultivate the Great Chaos Spirit Body.

Xu Jin himself had also been researching and deducing the Great Chaos Spirit Body cultivation secret method given by Master Emperor Fenghua recently.

Although Master had already deduced it, this concerned his lifelong path, so Xu Jin had to understand it deeply enough before cultivating, so as not to make mistakes during the cultivation process.

Now, he had already comprehended it almost completely.

Special power had also accumulated a lot, and the progress should be very fast.

On January 11th, while comprehending the Great Chaos Spirit Body secret method, the light of Xu Jin's Thousand Star Token flashed, and a starlight message from Master Emperor Fenghua was sent.

【Jin'er, regarding the Xia Yao you mentioned before, I have checked many ancient books, but I haven't found any clues yet. However, I have already studied the current situation of the Kunling Realm you mentioned.】

【Master has worked hard, please give me guidance.】

【I have already found out about this person, Emperor Jidao. He is an Emperor under the Da Luo Ancestral Court, and he attained the Dao a thousand years ago. Even within the Da Luo Ancestral Court, his origin is extremely mysterious.

I was afraid of investigating too deeply and attracting his vigilance, bringing you trouble, so I didn't investigate too deeply.

But according to the many situations described in the Kunling Realm and the various backhands laid down by this Emperor Jidao, one thing can be determined: you have nine times out of ten intercepted the great opportunity that Emperor Jidao has laid out for thousands of years.】

Seeing this, Xu Jin's heart also tightened slightly.

Sure enough, he was the one who picked up someone else's great bargain.

Picking up a bargain was fine, but the things that followed were the most dangerous.

【Master, from the current perspective, how dangerous is it?】

【The problem is precisely here. Currently, your situation might be somewhat dangerous.】

【Dangerous? Even if a Tenth-Tier Little Tianyang Xingjun descends now, with Heaven and Earth Authority, I can deal with it.】

【The problem is precisely here. A Tenth-Tier Little Tianyang Xingjun, you have Heaven and Earth Authority, so naturally you are not afraid. But that was before.

Before, the Kunling Realm's heaven and earth were incomplete. Although it was a middle world, its status was equivalent to a small world, and it was highly likely to be obscured by secret methods, so under normal circumstances, Tenth-Tier could not descend.

But with the return of the Kunling Realm's heaven and earth, it has become a true middle world. Theoretically, as long as one is willing to pay the price and has supreme treasures for positioning and guidance, Eleventh-Tier True Persons can all go over.

Of course, Emperor Jidao cannot go over, but among the disciples of an Emperor, there are definitely Eleventh-Tier True Persons, and they can go over.

And that Star-Plucking Tower left by Emperor Jidao, which is independent of Heaven and Earth Authority, is the best positioning and guidance treasure.

I suspect that the Star-Plucking Tower is a Tenth-Tier Tianyang Xingjun Suppressing Artifact, and it is a treasure for positioning and return that Emperor Jidao deliberately left behind,】 Emperor Fenghua said.

At a glance, Xu Jin's sense of crisis rushed toward him.

If an Eleventh-Tier True Person really came, or a true Domain-Suppressing Tianyang Xingjun came, then not only would this foundation of Xu Jin be completely finished, but these beautiful wives of Xu Jin would also be separated by life and death.

【How to resolve it, please give me guidance, Master,】 Xu Jin asked sincerely.

【Simple. No matter who it is, wanting to travel from one star realm to another requires a positioning and guidance treasure, and this Emperor Jidao's positioning and guidance treasure is the Star-Plucking Tower.

Destroy it, or refine its artifact spirit and take it for your own use.

By then, no matter how great his supernatural powers are, he will not be able to let others descend into the Kunling Realm, and you and this foundation of yours will be completely safe,】 Emperor Fenghua said.

【How to do it specifically, please teach me, Master.】

【Good, but you need to use my method to find its main body first. I will notify your Uncle-Master to rush to the vicinity immediately. Wait for your Uncle-Master to rush to the vicinity, and then you act.

To prevent you from alerting the other party when you act, causing them to forcibly descend directly.

With your Uncle-Master there, if there is extraterrestrial power descending, he can interrupt it during the positioning and guidance process,】 Emperor Fenghua said.

【I understand, I will go prepare now.】

【Good, remember to urge your Uncle-Master's Youyu Sword to give him direction. Otherwise, he will not be able to rush over. With him protecting you, this hidden danger can be completely resolved.】

【I understand, many thanks, Master. I will contact you the first moment I am ready.】

On the trial black tower of the Thousand Star Alliance, having recuperated for nearly half a year, the injury True Person Youyu suffered when protecting Xu Jin's breakthrough last time had just recovered.

Just thinking about finding a place to roam, he suddenly received a starlight message from Emperor Fenghua.

In an instant, his long brows lifted fiercely, and he furrowed them.

【Hey... another job, and a big job fighting with an Emperor. Why does this kid always provoke Emperors? Could it be poisonous...】

Complaining was complaining, True Person Youyu still gave Emperor Fenghua a positive reply at the first opportunity.
