He’s a Yu Xingjun too—what has he accomplished? What merits has he earned? Now look at you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the True Person arrived, they had been left bewildered and helpless by the scolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell kind of things had the Great Saint Xu Jin done? No human could have done them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they saw the real person before them, their feelings were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that within the past month alone, Changxing Star Island had produced four Yu Xingjun who had attained True Person status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Changshan’s welcome for Xu Jin was of the highest caliber—not lower than the reception given to an Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Xu Jin arrived on the island, he was assigned a True Person cultivation hall and various attendants, and a grand welcome banquet was immediately convened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banquet’s elegance spoke for itself—Bai Changshan had laid out all the rare delicacies he had saved for welcoming an Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such banquets naturally consisted of grand feasts nested within smaller ones; only a few Gao Jie True Persons were granted the privilege to sit with Xu Jin and drink and chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the wine flowed freely, the men’s post-drinking revelry began: boasting of their exploits and debating the grand trends of the Star Wastes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those beings once too fearful to mention aloud were now casually brought up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dongxuan Emperor and Marshal Kongyuan Emperor naturally became the center of discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of Kongyuan Emperor’s past exploits were recounted: his lightning-speed return to rescue and slay three Emperors, repel the alien Sacred Ancestors, capture star islands—each feat listed with reverent admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kongyuan Emperor’s achievements were roughly everything Xu Jin had done—except Kongyuan Emperor had done even more that Xu Jin had never done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of this group, Kongyuan Emperor was a legend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the conversation had reached this point, Xu Jin’s mind stirred, and he casually asked, “Our Marshal’s combat record is simply an unparalleled prodigy—anyone who becomes his disciple would be blessed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Xu Jin’s words, everyone’s expression hardened, all eyes turning to him; Bai Changshan shook his head. “Great Saint, you’re thinking of becoming the Marshal’s direct disciple! Too bad—you missed the chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, missing it is for the better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Why’s that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Marshal previously took two space-genius disciples—the last one was fifty years ago; I met him. In terms of space talent, he likely wasn’t inferior to you, Great Saint.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he was assassinated by aliens and died in battle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first one met the same fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, the Marshal has declared he will never take another disciple!” said Bai Changshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even the Marshal’s disciples get assassinated by aliens?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I specialize in space arts—I know how hard it is to assassinate a space-talent prodigy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in the rear lines!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the geniuses the Marshal takes as disciples must be True Persons at least, or at the very least top-tier Yu Xingjun—how could aliens possibly succeed in assassinating them?” asked Xu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who says it isn’t?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Changshan shook his head and sighed. “The first one was reportedly a Sixth-Catastrophe Space True Person—he was assassinated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second one was a Third-Catastrophe True Person when he first became the Marshal’s disciple; he was assassinated in his tenth year as a disciple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Assassinated? Not during a Star Surge, right? Killed in the rear? Do you know the details of the battle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, the True Persons all shook their heads, admitting ignorance; only Bai Changshan spoke: “I don’t know about the first one, but the second one held a title—Fúyǐng True Person. He once defeated a Sixth-Catastrophe True Person across a rank gap and fought alongside me several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mysteriously vanished for a time; the Marshal flew into a rage and investigated—after much digging, he traced it back to the aliens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the Marshal declared he would never take another disciple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Kongyuan Emperor kept his disciple so secret, never letting him show himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason must stem from this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem is—someone like Fúyǐng True Person: defeating him in battle might be easy, but assassinating him? That would be extremely difficult too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the first one was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come, come, let me tell you about my own exploits from ten years ago!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst clinking cups and exchanged toasts, everyone instantly forgot the previous idle chatter—only Xu Jin’s expression grew complex, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the welcome banquet, Xu Jin resumed his cultivation as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had at least one and a half months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these one and a half months, he would focus on boosting his strength—everything would wait until he met his Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the thirteenth day of the eleventh month, after three days of secluded cultivation on Wuyang Star Island, Xu Jin slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so many days, he had completed his first task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had fully studied and comprehended all the True Person blood crystals he had obtained from previous battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stars formed from the True Person blood crystals, illuminated and empowered by the Can Dou Star River, had reached an astonishing sixty-seven.\u003C\u002Fp>",1306,"2026-06-19T23:56:35.933Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2a236aa0022dac44bef27d5f20f3b9ac793ac7ee6de6408a05baf2dcb8b651fa","the-star-martial-era-chapter-926","the-star-martial-era-chapter-924",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-star-martial-era-cover.jpg"]
