Chapter 930: The Complete Temporal Law Dao and the Exploration Island

Changxing Star Island.

Guan Laohei, Nian Qinggui, and Cao Bin gathered together, each sighing heavily, deeply depressed.

“Look at how Bai Changshan is now blowing his own horn—he’s got a medium-sized star fragment, nearly a large one!”

“He doesn’t even think: without the Great Saint, where would his good fortune come from?” Cao Bin looked sullen.

“Laohei, the True Persons below are asking—when will the Great Saint return?” Nian Qinggui asked softly.

Hearing this, Guan Laohei glanced at the hastily built Imperial Palace on the island. “Two months—at the very fastest, two months!”

“I have a suggestion. Will you listen?”

“What suggestion?”

"Didn't we earn two extraordinary merits before? While the Great Saint is away, we should use them all up—better to boost our strength as soon as possible!" With that, Guan Laohei stood up. Cao Bin frowned in suspicion and asked, "Laohei, do you know something?"

“What else could I know? If we don’t boost our strength, we’ll fall behind the Great Saint!” Guan Laohei said this, then vanished in an instant.

After waiting nearly a minute before the Imperial Palace, Guan Laohei was finally granted an audience with the Jade Kui Emperor.

Inside the grand hall, the Jade Kui Emperor stared coldly at Guan Laohei, eyes filled with icy intent.

Yet even so, Guan Laohei stood straight, neither humble nor arrogant.

“Guan Xiaoxing, you’re going to Tongxuan War Zone to claim your extraordinary merit—perfect. Hand over the daily affairs of Changxing Star Island. First, hand them to Jin Nanzhi.” The Jade Kui Emperor gave a quiet order.

Guan Laohei froze. “Your Highness, according to military regulations, during my absence, ordinary military supplies should be handed over to Deputy Garrison Commander Nian Qinggui.”

“I said hand them to Jin Nanzhi. If you have objections, go explain them to the Commander-in-Chief!” the Jade Kui Emperor replied coolly.

Guan Laohei froze again—and understood.

This was the Jade Kui Emperor’s move to fully take control of Changxing Star Island.

As for appealing to the Commander-in-Chief?

As if he’d be so foolish as to complain about the newly arrived Emperor to the Commander-in-Chief!

He wasn’t an idiot!

“Your servant obeys. Also, I have something to report.”

“Speak.”

“Your Highness, Xu Jin submitted a report two hours ago—he wishes to claim his extraordinary merit and requests an additional half-month extension.” Guan Laohei said.

“Another extension? Why doesn’t he come himself to report?” The Jade Kui Emperor’s temper flared.

Xu Jin was too slippery—he’d vanished the moment the Emperor arrived, giving him not a single opening.

One moment he was away on legitimate business for two months, and now, just now, he’d earned another extraordinary merit on Wuyang Star Island.

“Commander-in-Chief, Xu Jin sent me an extraordinary merit commendation signed personally by the Commander-in-Chief—he’s already gone to the War Zone to claim it. Why don’t you ask there?” Guan Laohei replied, neither submissive nor defiant.

The Jade Kui Emperor glanced at Guan Laohei. “Go. I’ll inquire myself.”

Guan Laohei bowed and left; soon after, he departed Changxing Star Island.

The Jade Kui Emperor watched Guan Laohei’s retreating back, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

This ninth-realm True Person paid him no respect whatsoever—he’d even helped Xu Jin tidy up all loose ends, especially using military affairs to send Xu Jin’s wife Zhu Linxiao away, reducing Xu Jin’s entanglements.

That was precisely why he’d immediately stripped Guan Laohei of his authority.

To scold him face-to-face over this reason would be too lacking in subtlety.

So he took power without saying a word.

When Xu Jin returns, he’ll still have to watch out for this ninth-realm True Person.

Of course, if the opportunity arises, he wouldn’t mind eliminating one or two more people!

Otherwise, how could he fully control Changxing Star Island?

Two months—he could wait.

Inside the Wordless Heavenly Stele Hall, Xu Jin was meditating beneath the Wordless Heavenly Stele, while Zhu Linxiao trained under the influence of Xu Jin’s temporal power, her star-force aura steadily rising.

Xu Jin’s goal for her was to fully boost her cultivation base and reach the peak of second-realm True Person as quickly as possible.

As for Xu Jin himself, he was already familiar with the process—especially when meditating on the Temporal Law Dao.

Last time, he’d spent nearly five days to comprehend one Temporal Acceleration Celestial Star Will, but afterward, a chain reaction occurred, and his comprehension speed accelerated rapidly.

This chain effect still existed this time.

The time spent comprehending the fifth Temporal Acceleration Celestial Star Will remained nine to ten days.

Yet under fivefold temporal acceleration, in real time Xu Jin spent less than two days—his Temporal Star Tower had already condensed its fifth level.

Temporal acceleration x6.

One and a half days later, the sixth level of the Temporal Star Tower condensed—temporal acceleration x7.

Another two and a half days later, the eighth level condensed—temporal acceleration x9.

Two days after that, the tenth level condensed—temporal acceleration x11!

By now, eight of the ten real-time days allotted for Xu Jin’s meditation on the Wordless Heavenly Stele had passed.

He had comprehended ten Temporal Acceleration Celestial Star Wills—but still had not formed a complete Temporal Law Dao.

Xu Jin continued meditating.

After another day and a half, when Xu Jin successfully drew and comprehended two more Temporal Acceleration Celestial Star Wills through the Wordless Heavenly Stele, the twelve Temporal Acceleration Celestial Star Wills suddenly flared in unison with starlight—and in a single breath, coalesced into a complete Temporal Law Dao.

The Temporal Law Dao was complete.

“Finally… achieved! I wonder what power this complete Temporal Acceleration Law Dao will grant!”

But this was not the place to test its power.

Most of the ten-day meditation window had passed; Xu Jin had less than two hours left.

Yet two hours must not be wasted.

Under his temporal acceleration, two hours equaled two or three days of meditation.

Xu Jin first tried activating the complete Temporal Acceleration Law Dao, to see if it could draw forth new Temporal Celestial Star Wills.

After meditating for a long while, Xu Jin frowned.

Previously, when using same-system Celestial Star Wills to trigger the Wordless Heavenly Stele to draw the same Law Dao’s Wills, it had been difficult—but still responsive.

Now, with the Temporal Acceleration Law Dao complete, using it to trigger the Wordless Heavenly Stele to draw other Temporal Celestial Star Wills produced no response whatsoever.
