Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1960: Chapter 835: Heavenly Power Seal

Interrogating the Divine Infant of the Three Tribulation True Monarch took Xu Jin a full hour, and he gained a rather detailed understanding of Hunhua Realm.

The results were somewhat beyond Xu Jin’s expectations.

Hunhua Realm is a Middle World, which is quite normal.

Yet the Realm Master True Monarch of Hunhua Realm, Bai Hua, is also a Nine Tribulation True Monarch, and the ancestral founder of Hunhua Realm is Emperor Jidao.

The overall strength of Hunhua Realm is quite comparable to Hai Fen Realm; the Realm Master True Monarch is Nine Tribulations, there is also an Eight Tribulations and a Seven Tribulation, with a total of thirteen True Monarchs, now reduced to ten.

Previously, Luo Kong True Monarch, who was slain by Xu Jin, had been taken as a named disciple by the ancestral founder a hundred years ago, having influence second only to the Realm Master True Monarch in Hunhua Realm.

He controlled over a thousand of the Lesser Worlds around.

All this is quite normal, but the abnormality is that Hunhua Realm is also a special Middle World.

In a normal Middle World, under the limitations of Heaven and Earth Rules, those with a Cultivation Level exceeding the Three Tribulation True Monarch can only enter using the Divine Infant Illusion Spirit.

Such a special Middle World where True Monarchs above Three Tribulations can enter freely is rare enough.

But now, not only Hai Fen Realm but also Hunhua Realm.

These two Middle Worlds both allow entry for Middle and High-level True Monarchs, which is rare and unusual.

And they are all controlled by the disciples and descendants of Emperor Jidao.

And now, Emperor Jidao’s disciples and descendants are continually attacking Kunling Domain.

"This..."

In a moment of thought, the Heavenly Power Seal, confiscated earlier from Sea Fen True Monarch, appeared in Xu Jin’s hand.

As his Divine Thought sank into it, within the Heavenly Power Seal’s Region of Sixfold Authority, two areas showed some response.

"What exactly is this thing useful for?

Based on the current response, there are six Star Domains. What will happen if the Heaven and Earth Authority within these six Star Domains is filled in?"

"Judging by the previously filled portion of Kunling Domain’s authority, at least six or seven-tenths of the authority need to be filled to completely fill this Heavenly Power Seal!

What transformation will occur once filled?

What lies behind this special Middle World?"

Currently, Xu Jin holds seventy-five percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority of Kunling Domain and forty percent of Hai Fen Realm’s authority.

Another thirty percent of Hai Fen Realm’s authority remains with Senior Brother True Monarch Lei Bian, and Xu Jin believes that asking for it should be straightforward.

"Should I try filling the Heaven and Earth Authority of these two Star Domains first?" Suddenly, Xu Jin felt a stir of eagerness.

But just for a moment, the thought chilled him directly.

"With six Star Domains linked, three known Star Domains all bear the inheritance of Emperor Jidao, this Heavenly Power Seal is highly likely to be crafted by Emperor Jidao, and Sea Fen True Monarch might be merely managing it temporarily, if this action directly attracts Emperor Jidao, then..."

With this in mind, Xu Jin instantly decided not to attempt it in the short term.

In order to attempt filling this Heavenly Power Seal with Heaven and Earth Authority, even partially, Xu Jin must possess the strength to protect himself before an Emperor-level expert, or have Master Fenghua Emperor by his side.

Otherwise, reckless attempts will only lead to self-destruction.

Curiosity killed the cat!

Better endure for now!

A few moments later, Xu Jin decisively placed the Heavenly Power Seal back into the Sumeru Space.

Yet today’s discovery reminded Xu Jin of two other questions.

The first question: known Hai Fen Realm, Hunhua Realm are special Middle Worlds where Nine Tribulation True Monarchs can enter, then what about Kunling Domain?

Can Nine Tribulation True Monarchs enter Kunling Domain?

At least for now, no one has tried.

In previous waves of attacks, there were Five Tribulation and Six Tribulation True Monarchs who entered, but all directly entered with the Divine Infant Illusion Spirit from the outside, never trying to enter physically.

Previously, when You Yu True Monarch came over, he also entered with the Divine Infant Illusion Spirit.

But no one has tried entering with the physical body directly.

"Perhaps it could be tried?"

But soon, Xu Jin shook his head again.

Emperor Jidao likely knows more about this; Kunling Domain, just having restored to a Middle World, probably still cannot.

Yet over a longer time span, it’s quite possible.

Which means, in a few years or maybe a decade, even those Four Tribulation, Five Tribulation, Six Tribulation, and possibly Seven Tribulation True Monarchs might directly enter Kunling Domain physically, and then the level of threat will...

Suddenly, Xu Jin shook his head with a smile.

Currently, with Senior Brother True Monarch Lei Bian guarding the Galaxy, Kunling Domain’s safety is of no concern at all.

As for a few or even over ten years later?

Ha!

Suddenly, Xu Jin temporarily set aside another thought that was occupying his mind.

With detailed information about Hunhua Realm, and the Star Domain Mark in hand.

Xu Jin initially thought about, after Old Yu’s breakthrough, whether to invite Old Yu along and seek Senior Brother True Monarch Lei Bian, the three of them could enter Hunhua Realm together and eradicate this inheritance of Emperor Jidao.

Although it’s certain the Realm Master True Monarch in Hunhua Realm holds Heaven and Earth Authority, it might be different after Old Yu’s breakthrough, combined with Xu Jin’s assistance.

Of course, the risk is undeniable.

However, at this moment, Xu Jin suddenly let go of this thought.

The advantage is on his side!

Not much time is needed; at worst, Xu Jin’s Cultivation Level will break through to the Tenth Rank within a year and a half and progress rapidly, and by then, his combat power will surge.

Within a year, the Great Chaos Spirit Body is sure to be formed, further enhancing combat power.

By then, entering Hunhua Realm will pose very minimal risk.

No rush!

Moreover, the other three Star Realm Authorities on the Heavenly Power Seal, Xu Jin believes if Hunhua Realm is the starting point, finding them shouldn’t be tough.

Inquiry revealed there’s a connection between Hunhua Realm and Hai Fen Realm, so the other three Star Realms might all be special Middle Worlds?

Or perhaps Great Worlds?

At that time, if the Authority is obtained and infused, this Heavenly Power Seal’s mystery can be uncovered.

...

Suddenly, Xu Jin felt no urgency at all.

Time is on his side!

Within the Duyue Emperor Palace, the somewhat bored Emperor Fenghua, enjoying himself, looked at a Starlight Transmission. A faint smile suddenly appeared on his chiseled, handsome face, causing the Duyue Emperor, who was making tea for him, to be momentarily enthralled.

"Fenghua, is there good news?"

"It’s my disciple thanking me, saying it was a great victory with huge gains!" Emperor Fenghua said with a smile.

"Great victory, huge gains?"

The Duyue Emperor’s face also blossomed into a smile, "If it makes you happy, the gains must be significant. Let me guess?"

Emperor Fenghua felt a slight temptation at the mention of guessing.

But he immediately thought of the previous battle results and instantly felt frustrated.

Originally two months, now turned into six months.

The loss...

"No need to guess, it’s simple. After their counterattack, they directly conquered the Hai Fen Realm." Emperor Fenghua directly revealed the answer, shattering his unrealistic hope of winning.

"So impressive!"

The Duyue Emperor looked at Emperor Fenghua with admiration, "Fenghua, how do you teach your disciples to be so formidable! A True Monarch and a Peak Ninth Rank dare to conquer the Middle World?"

"Fenghua, just how insightful were you when you chose such disciples!

Unlike my disciples, each one is more foolish than the last, each one causing me concern."

"Your disciple is not only talented but also saves you so much trouble. Your eye for talent is divine!"

"Fenghua, how do you select your disciples? Lei Bian aside, look at Xu Jin; in just a few months, he has learned the Moon Eclipsing Divine Power!

His speed surpasses even mine!"

...

"Fenghua, why is your insight so unique?"

...

"Fenghua, I beg you, please train my disciples... They’re so foolish, I’m about to die from frustration every day!"

...

"Fenghua, you’re so good to me..."

...

"Fenghua, you’re so wonderful to me!"

...

"Fenghua, this is what you agreed to, spend a month training those foolish disciples for me!

This is extra, you know!"

"Fenghua, don’t be angry! I just want to be with you more. Every moment with you brings me immense joy! So, the time you agreed on should count as extra..."

...

Emperor Fenghua’s handsome face stiffened slightly, and a touch of blankness suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He suddenly wanted to slap himself a few times.

How did he agree to this...

It was inexplicable how he just agreed.

"Sigh..... My heart is still too soft..... Ears are too soft....."

Looking again at his Thousand Star Jade Order, he suddenly wanted to slap Xu Jin.

It’s all caused by this kid.

Within the Kunling Domain, Xu Jin was completely unaware of the scene happening inside the Duyue Emperor Palace, nor did he know that his master’s trapped time was increasing. He was still excitedly reporting the battle results to his master.

*****

Days later, on Black Tower Island, True Monarch Lei Bian’s eyes slightly opened during his secluded cultivation, and his gaze turned to the two True Monarchs rushing through the galaxy.

One Four Tribulations, one Five Tribulations.

Seemingly passing through the galaxy, but very clearly, True Monarch Lei Bian sensed that when these two passed by the Kunling Domain and Black Tower Island, their speed noticeably slowed.

But only slightly.

They seemed to be observing the surrounding galaxy, even the Kunling Domain.

As True Monarch Lei Bian’s gaze focused, the two True Monarchs clearly sensed something, and their speed instantly increased, then disappeared.

After a while, within the Hunhua Realm, Realm Master True Monarch Bai Hua received the latest report from the two sent subordinates.

[True Monarch, as per your suggestion, we did not linger too long outside the Kunling Domain but slightly slowed down and swept through. However, that Nine Tribulations True Monarch still discovered us, and his aura was terrifying.

Fortunately, we fled quickly and stayed somewhat distant; he didn’t attack.]

[Then come back, be careful.]

This Starlight Transmission made True Monarch Bai Hua’s heart slightly relieved. Thanks to the ancestor’s suggestion, otherwise, these two subordinates would have plunged into the arms of the Nine Tribulations True Monarch, likely resulting in disaster.

Previously, the Hunhua Realm had already lost three True Monarchs in battle. Losing two more would be too great a loss.

At the first moment, True Monarch Bai Hua reported the discovery to the ancestor.

As for probing the Hai Fen Realm’s results, it was sent to the ancestor a day ago, and precisely because the ancestor reminded him there’s possibly a Nine Tribulations True Monarch near the Kunling Domain, he warned the two subordinate True Monarchs.

Otherwise, the loss would be too great.

Within the Extreme Dao Emperor Palace, Emperor Jidao, looking at the latest intelligence from the Hunhua Realm’s Realm Master True Monarch, confirmed his last bit of doubt completely.

Emperor Yangqiu’s words were not false.

Whether Emperor Fenghua or other Emperors participated, he wasn’t sure, but Emperor Fenghua’s first disciple, Nine Tribulations True Monarch Lei Bian, participated, and now he continuously guards Black Tower Island, with the intention of long-term protection in the Kunling Domain.

"What exactly does Fenghua intend?"

"However, if True Monarch Lei Bian is on Black Tower Island, then it can be confirmed that my Heavenly Power Seal is not with True Monarch Lei Bian!

My Heavenly Power Seal still retains a weak connection with me, and during continuous sensing over the past few days, the location is still within the Kunling Domain!

...

Then my Heavenly Power Seal is likely in the hands of another mysterious expert in this battle, whose cultivation level is below Four Tribulations, but whose combat power is very strong! Able to easily and independently slay a Three Tribulation True Monarch.

It’s highly likely this person has combat power of a Five Tribulations or even a Six Tribulations True Monarch!"

"They are also the ones who plundered the Hai Fen Realm! So, the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Hai Fen Realm is likely with this person as well, and perhaps this person has already discovered some clues regarding the Heavenly Power Seal..."

"If the Heavenly Power Seal is not with True Monarch Lei Bian and is within the Kunling Domain, then I can’t make a move!

Can only wait for an opportunity..."

"No matter, I can afford to wait..."

"A Three Tribulation True Monarch cannot stay forever in the Kunling Domain, this Middle World; once he leaves, I’ll have opportunities..."
