Chapter 1962: Chapter 836: Imperial Palace Saint Heir Election

But Zhu Linxiao, who threw herself into Xu Jin’s arms, only said seven words, and Xu Jin was instantly stirred.

"Husband, I’ve missed you to death!"

...

Xu Jin learned the details, an hour later.

Zhu Linxiao, lying on Xu Jin’s chest like a kitten, explained the reason for crushing the Mother-Child Heart Demon Emblem to Xu Jin.

Upon receiving the notification from the Tongxuan Imperial Palace, the selection for the Saint Heir of the Imperial Palace was about to commence.

The Tongxuan Imperial Palace ordered all Star Realms to report the list of candidates for the Imperial Saint Heir within a month, along with detailed information, for an initial qualification screening.

There are three requirements to register as a candidate for the Imperial Saint Heir: First, cultivation level must be between Ninth Tier and Star Monarch.

Second, candidates must be natives of the Tongxuan Domain, needing a full set of household registration documents from all Star Realms, including the Middle World or Small World of birth, confirmed personally by their Domain Master or Holder.

Third, age must be under a hundred years!

Those over a hundred are not qualified to run for the Imperial Saint Heir.

This is just a requirement.

According to Zhu Linxiao, there’s no use in hiding information; the Imperial Palace has its own detection methods, and those over a hundred cannot pass directly.

The notification was sent directly to the Dongxuan Star Realm Dao Palace, and True Monarch Tianzhang contacted the Yutang Royal Mansion immediately, making it clear that Xu Jin should be reported.

It was only then that Zhu Linxiao urgently contacted Xu Jin, but since it was only for registration, Zhu Linxiao only crushed two pieces.

As for the Imperial Saint Heir, Xu Jin must participate.

The opportunity of becoming the Imperial Saint Heir is something many cultivators never come across in their lifetime.

Upon becoming the Imperial Saint Heir, opportunities that ordinary cultivators might encounter once in a hundred years often become daily occurrences.

But for Xu Jin, the Innate Fire Essence that Emperor Dongxuan possesses would only be accessible if he became the Imperial Saint Heir.

Normally, since the Tongxuan Imperial Palace is selecting an Imperial Saint Heir, Xu Jin should just go for it.

Xu Jin holds the Tongxuan Holy Order, and coupled with his own strength, becoming the Imperial Saint Heir is not difficult; rather, it is about how to gain a higher rank.

However, for Xu Jin, there is still a very crucial issue.

That is the opportunity to ascend the Law Path, which Xu Jin must seize.

There are still the four elemental paths, which Xu Jin estimates could save him at least thirty to fifty years of time.

Moreover, once a cultivation level breaks through to the Tenth Rank, there is no chance.

The other benefits obtained within Dongxuan Dao Palace can be sought again, but this one, once missed, is gone.

"Linchang, prepare a gift for me and present a visiting card to True Monarch Tianzhang. Tonight, I will visit."

"Rest assured, husband. I will arrange it immediately."

*****

In the evening, at the True Monarch Tianzhang’s mansion.

Hearing that Xu Jin came to visit as soon as he came out of seclusion, True Monarch Tianzhang put aside his official duties to personally host a banquet for Xu Jin.

"Greetings, Uncle!"

"Greetings, Uncle!"

At the entrance of the True Monarch Tianzhang’s mansion, Su Xuan and Su Lingluo were sent by True Monarch Tianzhang early to welcome Xu Jin. As soon as they saw Xu Jin, they were going to perform a grand salutation as per the etiquette, but Xu Jin helped them up.

After the last Law Path incident, these two now called Xu Jin ’Uncle’ with wholehearted willingness.

In the Outer Court, it was Star Monarch Su Shize waiting, who personally escorted Xu Jin inside, showing the utmost in etiquette.

Only True Monarch Tianzhang himself didn’t come to welcome him.

"Oh?"

Upon their meeting, True Monarch Tianzhang stroked his beard, his expression shifted, "Young nephew, it seems that your seclusion this time has been fruitful! This aura, not only has it reached the Perfection of the Ninth Tier, but also there’s an inexplicable sky-piercing killing intent that even my aura twitched slightly in response to yours?

Have you succeeded in something new?"

"A small success," Xu Jin marveled at True Monarch Tianzhang’s perception.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he was observed by the powerful aura of True Monarch Tianzhang, causing the Star Power within his Chaos Cloud Tower to instinctively fluctuate for a moment, but Xu Jin quickly suppressed it.

But Xu Jin didn’t expect that momentary lapse would be detected by True Monarch Tianzhang.

The banquet hosted by True Monarch Tianzhang was naturally of the highest standard, with Star Monarch Su Shize calling Xu Jin his "worthy younger brother," ensuring no mishaps!

During the banquet, True Monarch Tianzhang naturally mentioned the Imperial Saint Heir selection and casually inquired about Xu Jin’s cultivation level, "Young nephew, your cultivation level has reached the Peak of Ninth Rank now, and I assume with your accomplishments on the Law Path, you can break through at any time.

Once you break through, your cultivation can advance rapidly.

When do you plan to break through to the Tenth Rank?"

After saying this, True Monarch Tianzhang added, "Breaking through to the Tenth Rank will surely result in a higher rank in the Imperial Saint Heir selection!

I believe with your abilities, entering the top hundred is certain, but breaking through to the Tenth Rank greatly increases the possibility of making it into the top ten."

Hearing this, Xu Jin smiled.

From the fact that True Monarch Tianzhang brought it up, Xu Jin knew that they were on the same page.

Not only was Xu Jin thinking about the Law Path, but so was True Monarch Tianzhang.

Of course, their starting points were different.

Xu Jin’s starting point was for himself.

But True Monarch Tianzhang’s starting point was for his Su family’s descendants.

Xu Jin has yet to ascend the Earth, Wood, Water, and Wind Law Paths.

Among the descendants True Monarch Tianzhang values highly and focuses on cultivating, Su Xuan practices Wood and Earth Series, while Su Lingluo focuses on Thunder Series, with Wind and Water as minor paths.

Their training approaches differ, which is characteristic of families with cultivation legacies.

Top-tier talents do not overlap in their cultivation paths.

After all, even in a True Monarch family, the cultivation resources for a single series are limited.

If two cultivate the same series, it becomes a matter of choice.

Equitably dividing resources is foolish, abandoning one path means hobbling on one leg.

Now, Su Xuan and Su Lingluo’s situation is ideal.

The most important point is, Su Xuan will also likely enter the Imperial Saint Heir selection this time.

Su Xuan’s cultivation has already broken through to the Tenth Rank, although still a Little Star Monarch.

Once he breaks through to a Great Star Monarch, he can never tread the Law Path again.

Since they reached the same conclusion, it made things easier.

As a junior, Xu Jin thought it best to be proactive.

"Uncle, my purpose for visiting today is to ask for your assistance in arrangements," Xu Jin initiated the conversation.

"What is it? Feel free to say; if I can help, I surely will. If I can’t, I’ll even set aside this old face of mine to assist," True Monarch Tianzhang readily assured.

"Uncle, you know about the Law Path, once a cultivation level reaches Great Star Monarch, it’s impossible to ascend it.

If I breakthrough to the Tenth Rank, I’ll reach Great Star Monarch within a month or two.

The Law Path, as you know, can save years of effort.

So, I’ve come seeking your help in arranging for me to climb the Law Path a few times in advance!

Two or three times would do, but four times would be even better," Xu Jin said with a smile, glancing over Su Xuan and Su Lingluo.

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Tianzhang nodded gently, "There are still two remaining attempts this year for those like you enjoying First-class Dao Student status to ascend the Law Path, right?"

"Yes, Uncle."

"Arranging two times early is easy, but advancing four times is much more difficult!

We’ll need to convince the other two True Monarch families, especially over at Yuanling True Monarch’s place, since Yuan Chengfa’s cultivation has already broken through to Great Star Monarch and does not need to ascend the Law Path anymore.

It’s quite challenging," True Monarch Tianzhang laughed.

"That does seem like a challenge for you, Uncle," Xu Jin smiled, though he said nothing of Su Xuan and Su Lingluo’s involvement.

"No problem!"

True Monarch Tianzhang laughed heartily, agreeing to the matter, "Moreover, if it weren’t challenging, you wouldn’t have asked.

Rest assured, young nephew, leave this to me. I’ll speak with those two old fellows!

Within half a month, there will be results!"

"Great, thank you, Uncle!"

Xu Jin’s face was full of smiles, his objective achieved!
