It feels like a waste. Can I give it to someone else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course you can. It’s yours, Great Sage. You can give it to whomever you wish.” Bai Changshan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Bai, you know my wife—I brought her into the Abyssal Realm, and she just recently attained True Personhood. She’s perfect to use this for advancement.” Xu Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem. But a True Person might cause disturbances. Never mind—I’ll subtly shield the area for you.” Bai Changshan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great Sage, why thank me? I should be the one thanking you! Forget the earlier gains—today’s battle merits alone, not to mention the achievement of capturing this medium-sized star realm fragment, is enough for me, Old Bai, to point at every warden’s nose and curse them—except Old He, of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Bai Changshan flew above Xu Jin’s secluded cultivation spot, pretending to patrol. After a brief inspection, he subtly released his Boundary-Breaking True Person aura, silently enveloping the surrounding area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others attempting to sense the changes within were blocked by Bai Changshan’s aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Zhu Linxiao appeared silently from the Abyssal Realm, her form hidden within the starlight radiating around Xu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the naked eye, it appeared extremely hazy—only Xu Jin’s cultivation silhouette and the surrounding starlight were visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, a spiritual sense sweep could reveal everything—but Bai Changshan’s aura blocked such probes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Zhu Linxiao began both contemplating the cosmic laws and absorbing star force; half of these laws were precisely what she needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, the cultivation base of Zhu Linxiao, this newly elevated First-Catastrophe True Person, surged upward rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xu Jin himself, he withdrew a two-thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi branch that had been nurtured and upgraded, continuing to refine his Dao Embryo’s Purple Yuan bone veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two hundred and ten one-thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi branches Xu Jin had purchased at Qingyin Market had long since been fully nurtured and upgraded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the assault on Chifeng Star Island, they slew three hundred alien star lords, many of whom carried one-thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi branches—especially the Yu Xingjun, who all had at least a few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had one or two; others had three or five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they collected one hundred and seventy. Xu Jin exchanged them at market price with Guan Lao He and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After recent continuous consumption, he now had barely over three hundred left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin planned to make another trip to Qingyin Market’s Purple Yuan Island to restock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most critical task at this stage was refining the Purple Yuan bone veins of his Dao Embryo, so he could transform into a Divine Infant as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Xu Jin’s surprise, just one and a half hours later, Zhu Linxiao’s cultivation rapidly climbed to the peak of First-Catastrophe True Person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining one-third of nascent star force within the star realm fragment was nearly exhausted, leaving less than one percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only be wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he really wait until Zhu Linxiao broke into Second-Catastrophe True Person before letting her absorb more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more surprising to Xu Jin was how little star force Zhu Linxiao needed to reach the peak of First-Catastrophe True Person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he himself had claimed first merit last time, it had pushed his cultivation past the Yu Xingjun peak and boosted it further—combined with his training since then and today’s gains, it was roughly half and half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, two-thirds of the total nascent star force in this first merit had provided only half the star force Xu Jin, as a Yu Xingjun, required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And one-third of the total star force had propelled Zhu Linxiao, a First-Catastrophe True Person, straight to her peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Xu Jin’s total star force as a Yu Xingjun was four times that of Zhu Linxiao, a First-Catastrophe True Person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even more than that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, Zhu Linxiao wasn’t an ordinary True Person—she had used several Chaotic Origin materials to suppress forty-three Supreme-grade cosmic laws within her star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her star force cultivation was among the absolute top in the First-Catastrophe True Person realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazed, Xu Jin suddenly chuckled to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unnatural?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, it was perfectly natural!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout his cultivation journey, he had refined every realm to its absolute limit before breaking through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as a Yu Xingjun, possessing four times the star force of Zhu Linxiao, an ultra-powerful First-Catastrophe True Person, was entirely normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, compared to an ordinary First-Catastrophe True Person, Xu Jin’s star force cultivation might be six or even seven times greater!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all of this would undergo a complete transformation once Xu Jin attained True Personhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Husband, my cultivation has reached the peak of First-Catastrophe True Person—can I break through again?” Zhu Linxiao’s voice trembled slightly, filled with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. Theoretically, as long as your star force reaches the threshold, you can break through to Fourth-Catastrophe True Person without hindrance—provided you survive the thunder tribulation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you mean I can become a Second-Catastrophe True Person right away!” Zhu Linxiao said, voice quivering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Better to contemplate a few more wind cosmic laws first—that’ll make it more stable. Of course, for you, a day should be enough.” Xu Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! With you here, I can comprehend several wind cosmic laws in just one day. Without you, I’d still be stuck at Yu Xingjun.” Zhu Linxiao smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Keep cultivating—tomorrow, you’ll be Second-Catastrophe True Person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Xu Jin sealed Zhu Linxiao back into the Abyssal Realm. As he flew away, the star realm fragment began rapidly fusing with Wuyang Star Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vast quantities of celestial treasures and cultivation materials spilled out from the collision of the star realm fragment’s earth veins—among them, a large amount of Star Ruin Yuan Sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xu Jin’s heart stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Bai, can you help me keep all the Star Ruin Yuan Sand? I’ll pay with battle merits.” Xu Jin transmitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much?” Bai Changshan replied without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s already nearly two hundred pieces here—plus what you’ve collected before, isn’t that enough?” Bai Changshan asked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Linxiao used over four hundred pieces for her star embedding—how many would Xu Jin need?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had nine Star Towers!\u003C\u002Fp>",1159,"2026-06-19T23:56:35.933Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4bfe122d15201b583bf6873e8646446b253a629e45f303dc62f26a98cb2dedee","the-star-martial-era-chapter-929","the-star-martial-era-chapter-927",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-star-martial-era-cover.jpg"]
