Chapter 764: Fame Spreads Throughout Dongxuan

August 3rd, following the end of the comprehension time gifted by True Person Commander Tian Zhang, most cultivators chose to return.

After all, this comprehension time had far exceeded the past.

Xu Jin was also among those returning.

There were still three days of comprehension time on the Dongxuan isolated island, and Xu Jin had to save this count to replenish the Chaos Star Gang for the Heaven-Earth Cloud Pavilion.

When stepping out of the Dao Palace teleportation hall, Xu Jin was about to leave the hall and then use space shifting to depart.

Just as he left the hall, he saw Grand Princess Zhu Linxiao, wearing a veil, waiting for him outside the hall door. Seeing Xu Jin leave the hall, Zhu Linxiao, dressed in palace attire, walked up quickly and took Xu Jin's arm.

"Husband, this concubine has already prepared a welcome banquet at home to celebrate your merits..."

"Good!"

Xu Jin was about to return directly with Zhu Linxiao when he saw a figure turn from behind Zhu Linxiao; it was Liu Gaoyang, the Hu Hu Dianzhu of the Lingzi Hall, looking at the two with a bitter smile.

"Hu Hu Dianzhu Liu, what is this?" Xu Jin was stunned.

"Greetings, Hu Hu Dianzhu Zhu, greetings, Dao Seed Xu."

Liu Gaoyang first greeted the two one by one, then smiled bitterly. "Two, it is not that I am not sensible; it is truly that I have a True Person's order, and I have to disturb the two of you."

"True Person's order?" Zhu Linxiao frowned.

"Correct, the True Person has an order: the moment Dao Seed Xu returns, he must have Dao Seed Xu handle the matter of battle merits before he can return to the mansion," Liu Gaoyang said.

"Is there a problem with the battle merits?"

Xu Jin was a bit puzzled, but Grand Princess Zhu Linxiao understood as soon as she heard it. "Husband, then let us quickly follow Tianyang Xingjun Liu to handle this matter. This is a great thing. Tianyang Xingjun Liu, sorry to trouble you."

"Please!"

Liu Gaoyang led the way, and three streaks of starlight rushed toward the Lingzi Hall.

Inside the Lingzi Hall, Liu Gaoyang first gave Xu Jin a jade slip regarding the battle merit records of the Tongxuan Domain for Xu Jin to read. When Xu Jin finished reading, he suddenly understood why True Person Commander Tian Zhang had to give an order for Liu Gaoyang to handle this matter at the first opportunity.

This could be considered another layer of protection for Xu Jin.

The Tongxuan Domain places great importance on battle merits.

The entire Tongxuan Domain has countless Star Lords, and there are at least several hundred True Persons, but the titled Star Lords and titled True Persons are pitifully few.

For example, Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Qu Shanze, who had suffered a great loss at Xu Jin's hands before, and Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Liao Jin, who fought on the Dongxuan isolated island before, could only take orders from others because their battle merit titles were insufficient.

Like West Ji Tianyang Xingjun Liu Xi, this is a typical titled Tianyang Xingjun who can open a mansion and build a base, and be granted a star domain. No matter which star realm they are in, they are relatively independent, have stronger autonomy, and even have the qualifications to enter the Dongxuan Star Realm Central Conference.

But Qu Shanze and Liao Jin cannot.

Battle merits are insufficient; even Su Shize does not have that qualification.

To put it bluntly, no matter how strong your cultivation is or how high your combat power is, if you have no battle merits, you have no contribution to the Tongxuan Domain, and naturally, you cannot obtain higher-level privileges.

The battle merit system of the entire Tongxuan Domain is relatively simple, divided into Star Brave, Star Leader, Realm Brave, Realm Leader, Tongxuan Star General, Tongxuan Star Marshal, Titled Tianyang Xingjun, and Titled True Person, eight grades and twenty-four ranks.

Each grade is divided into third, second, and first rank.

At the same time, there are corresponding treatments.

First, as long as you obtain battle merits recognized by the Tongxuan Imperial Palace, you can upgrade your identity token to a Tongxuan Token at the first opportunity, and then you can travel unimpeded throughout the five major star realms, more than thirty middle worlds, and more than thirty thousand small worlds of the entire Tongxuan Domain.

The recognition of battle merits is also very simple: killing a seventh-tier enemy is one battle merit, eighth-tier enemies start at ten points, ninth-tier enemies start at one hundred, tenth-tier enemies start at one thousand, and killing an eleventh-tier enemy starts at fifty thousand.

Besides this hard requirement, being severely injured or repelling invading enemies all have different amounts of battle merits.

Accumulating fifty battle merits makes you a third-rank Star Brave; your identity token can be exchanged for a Tongxuan Token, one hundred points for second-rank, and two hundred for first-rank Star Brave.

Accumulating four hundred battle merits makes you a third-rank Star Leader, and one thousand six hundred points makes you a first-rank Star Leader.

Accumulating up to three thousand battle merits makes you a third-rank Realm Brave.

Starting from third-rank Realm Brave, it is different.

For a third-rank Realm Brave, the file resume is sent to the Tongxuan Imperial Palace, and the whereabouts and life or death are checked every year. If reported as killed in battle, the Tongxuan Imperial Palace will verify the cause of death again. If they disappear for no reason or die in a vendetta, the Tongxuan Imperial Palace will personally investigate the truth and pursue the murderer.

The higher the battle merit title grade, the higher the degree of importance from the Tongxuan Imperial Palace.

Xu Jin already understood True Person Commander Tian Zhang's intention.

It was actually to send his resume directly to the Tongxuan Imperial Palace through battle merits.

Of course, if you think that just by establishing a battle merit title you can save your life permanently, that is absolutely impossible.

But this is definitely a deterrent.

Once Xu Jin's battle merit title is filed in the Tongxuan Imperial Palace, anyone who wants to deal with Xu Jin will have much more trouble.

It must be done seamlessly; even if they arrange for Xu Jin to die in battle, it must be arranged reasonably, and the difficulty of doing things will greatly increase.

The difficulty is greater, and there are more flaws, which can be considered as adding a layer of protection for Xu Jin.

Further up, there is the third-rank Realm Leader, which requires ten thousand battle merits, then the third-rank Tongxuan Star General, which requires forty thousand battle merits, and the third-rank Tongxuan Star Marshal, which requires seventy thousand battle merits. The third-rank Titled Tianyang Xingjun requires one hundred thousand battle merits.

As for the third-rank Titled True Person, it requires twenty thousand battle merits.

Very difficult!

But after each level of title, the treatment is completely different.

For example, starting from a third-rank Tongxuan Star General, every year in the fixed title salary, there is a drop of Zhou Tian Star Dew—it is truly a good benefit!

What surprised Xu Jin even more was the battle merits calculated for Xu Jin by True Person Commander Tian Zhang or the Dongxuan Dao Palace this time.

Jointly killing two Town Star Lords with Zhang Huai, Xu Jin alone obtained ten thousand battle merits!

Fighting to the death with Zhang Huai without fear of life against an Imperial Tianyang Xingjun and two Town Star Lords invading from the Jin Peng Star Realm, and ensuring the teleportation array was not lost so that the star realm reinforcements could arrive successfully, was designated as the primary merit of defending the Dongxuan isolated island this time!

Specially rewarded with thirty thousand battle merits!

Thus, in this one battle alone, Xu Jin alone obtained forty thousand battle merits!

After this was reported, the Tongxuan Imperial Palace only passed the audit today, and True Person Commander Tian Zhang specially arranged for Liu Gaoyang to handle this matter for Xu Jin.

"Dao Seed Xu—no, from now on, I should call you Star General! This is your Tongxuan Token, please keep it safe!" Liu Gaoyang handed the newly exchanged Tongxuan Token to Xu Jin with both hands.

This made Xu Jin feel embarrassed, and he hurriedly declined. "Tianyang Xingjun Liu, please do not do this; I cannot accept, I cannot accept..."

"You can accept!"

Liu Gaoyang insisted on handing the newly exchanged Tongxuan Token to Xu Jin with both hands, then said, "Throughout the Tongxuan Domain, battle merits are paramount! If the battle merits are high enough, even Star Lords or True Persons, and even in the military, must first perform the salute of military title, then the salute of rank.

I have been mixing for so many years, although my cultivation reached the tenth tier long ago, my military title is only a second-rank Realm Leader. Compared to you, Star General, I am far behind!"

"Tianyang Xingjun Liu, are there many third-rank Tongxuan Star General military titles?" Xu Jin asked.

"If you are talking about those added every year, there are very few, no more than a handful. Sometimes there are only two or three added in a year, but after so many years of accumulation in the Tongxuan Star Realm, there are over a thousand.

But further up, such as Tongxuan Star Marshal, there are even fewer.

As for Titled Star Lords, there are even fewer.

Like our Dongxuan Star Realm, there are only eleven Titled Star Lords in total!

As for Titled True Persons, in our Dongxuan Star Realm for over a thousand years, counting the few who have passed away, there are only five in total, and only three exist today," Liu Gaoyang said.

"Star General Xu, there is one more thing. Although the True Person gave instructions, the True Person still asked me to seek your opinion." Liu Gaoyang asked.

"What is it?"

"According to the rules, battle merit titles are to be announced to the star realm. Of course, the scope of the announcement for different battle merit titles is different.

Like Star General Xu's battle merit title, it is to be announced throughout the entire Dongxuan Domain. For Titled Star Lords, True Persons, and the like, it must be announced throughout the entire Tongxuan Domain, sent in bulk to the Dongxuan Token or Tongxuan Token.

The True Person's instruction is, if you have no objection, it is best to announce your battle merit title to the entire Dongxuan Star Realm," Liu Gaoyang said.

Xu Jin pondered for a moment and looked at Grand Princess Zhu Linxiao, who was waiting quietly on the side. The latter nodded slightly.

"Announce it."

Xu Jin made the decision.

Actually, the reason True Person Commander Tian Zhang was in such a hurry to instruct this matter was to add a layer of battle merit shield for Xu Jin. Only by announcing it would this shield be stronger and more effective!

He could not let down True Person Commander Tian Zhang's good intentions!

But then again, True Person Commander Tian Zhang handled this matter with quite a bit of the flavor of family friends.

Powerful enough!

"Good, I will arrange it. In a quarter of an hour, it will be announced to the entire star realm. Throughout the entire Dongxuan Star Realm, as long as you hold a Dongxuan Token, you can receive this starlight transmission."

"Sorry for the trouble, Tianyang Xingjun Liu."

"It is only right; it is my duty!"

"Star General Xu, because you are a third-rank Star General, starting from this year, you can obtain one drop of Zhou Tian Star Dew from the Tongxuan Imperial Palace's title salary every year! Do you want to take it now, or shall I transmit it to you directly using the Tongxuan Token after you exchange your battle merits later?" Liu Gaoyang said.

Tianyang Xingjun Liu had already instructed Xu Jin about exchanging battle merits for cultivation materials using the Tongxuan Token.

Especially Zhou Tian Star Dew, which could also be exchanged with battle merits.

Xu Jin was currently lacking this item, so he happened to exchange for a batch.

"I will exchange a portion later and then transmit it."

A dozen breaths later, Xu Jin took Grand Princess Zhu Linxiao and rose into the stars, leaving the Dao Palace and heading straight for the Mansion of Offerings.

Xu Jin was already somewhat impatient to return.

Returning to the Mansion of Offerings, he could count the harvest from the Sumeru spaces of the two Town Star Lords he killed, especially the harvest from the Imperial Tianyang Xingjun's Sumeru space; Xu Jin was still looking forward to it.

The moment Xu Jin and Zhu Linxiao returned to the Mansion of Offerings in the Yutang Wang Cheng, both of their Tongxuan Tokens began to flicker simultaneously.

At the same instant, the Tongxuan Token of Yutang King Zhu Shizhen, who had received the news and came out to welcome them, also flickered. He just took one look, and his gaze was instantly stunned.

At the same time, throughout the entire Yutang King Mansion and Yutang Wang Cheng, the Dongxuan Tokens of all the offerings, clansmen, and guards who possessed Dongxuan Tokens began to flicker with starlight simultaneously.

Not just Yutang Wang Cheng, but throughout the entire Dongxuan Star Realm, the five major middle worlds affiliated with the Dongxuan Star Realm, and nearly ten thousand small worlds, as long as one possessed a Dongxuan Token and was in the relevant star domain, their Dongxuan Tokens flickered rapidly.

The same transmission, flashing three times in a row!

In just an instant, the name Xu Jin spread throughout the entire Dongxuan Star Realm!
