"Xu Jin, when I felt that Academician Kou was breaking through just now, you seemed to have triggered your Fire Origin Star Pattern, and it even appeared to have aided Academician Kou? What exactly happened?" Inside Pill Dawn Palace, the State Preceptor asked Xu Jin, whom he had just pulled back.
Xu Jin didn’t hide anything and told the truth.
After all, the State Preceptor already knew about his identity as a Lingji Remnant, and Xu Jin also wanted to understand the reason.
"Your high-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern had a reaction, then you went with the flow?"
After listening, the State Preceptor frowned for a long while, "It seems that the the theory of the Mother Star Pattern is indeed true."
"Mother Star Pattern?"
The State Preceptor gave Xu Jin a few explanations.
The gist was that the Star Patterns possessed by the original deducers were known as Mother Star Patterns.
The Mother Star Pattern could provide certain assistance to those using this Star Pattern to break through the Seventh Tier.
However, the Seventh Tier Star Patterns handed down by the various Star Halls and heritages were quite remote, the deducers of the Star Patterns had long passed away, and so this aspect, only existed in records and could not be verified.
"So you’re saying, if someone were to use a high-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern of the Seventh Tier Upper to break through and I assist them by the side, it would increase their chance of success?" Xu Jin asked with uncertainty.
"Indeed that’s the case! I feel that Kou Jing’s breakthrough wasn’t coincidental, it must be related to you," Cheng Yuxiao said with a smile.
"Then you, State Preceptor, should make arrangements for it. The more people we have breaking through to the Seventh Tier in Dachen, the more confident I will be in the future," Xu Jin said with a laugh.
"Don’t have such thoughts!"
The State Preceptor’s expression turned serious.
"If people with the Fire Series Star Pattern keep breaking through one after another, all sides will inevitably conclude that Dachen must possess high-tier Fire Origin Star Patterns of the Seventh Tier Upper or even the Eighth Tier to have such an effect.
But how did the high-tier Fire Origin Star Patterns of the Seventh Tier Upper or even the Eighth Tier come to be?
Deducing by oneself, usually it takes years or even more than a decade to elevate a Star Pattern one or two tiers.
If such advancements occur in a short period in time, all the forces will inevitably think of the high-tier Tao Derivation above the Gold Star.
At that time, the attention attracted by plucking six Gold Stars will refocus on the Da Cheng National Daoist School.
Tell me, who has the greatest possibility of plucking six Gold Stars?" Cheng Yuxiao asked.
Xu Jin’s expression instantly turned solemn; it was naturally him.
Unless Xu Jin vanished from the public eye from this moment on, his suspicions would only grow!
"So, we must not rush this. Of course, the most important thing is that your Cultivation Level needs to improve. With your current Divine Soul Cultivation, breaking through to the Fourth Tier shouldn’t be difficult!
After the Nine-star Tide is over, you should break through to the Fourth Tier Star Condensation.
Once your Cultivation grows to the Fourth Order Middle period, you will have some self-preserving power, and as time fades, the influence of the so-called eight Gold Stars will weaken!
The various powers will think they have already been used up.
There would then be no need to go to great lengths to assassinate this extraordinary talent," Cheng Yuxiao said.
Xu Jin didn’t inquire further about the Nine-star Tide but casually asked about the Star Pattern issue.
Xu Jin’s Cultivation in the Central Star Palace had reached the peak of Refining Star Ninth Layer, but the Central Star Palace lacked two Star Patterns, and Xu Jin didn’t know which to engrave, so he sought advice from the State Preceptor.
"About this, your teacher Liu Qingzhu had already consulted me about this a few days ago, and she deliberately discussed and planned your development path with me."
The words of State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao left Xu Jin a bit embarrassed.
He hadn’t anticipated that Liu Qingzhu had taken care of this matter for him long ago.
"Liu Qingzhu and I discussed many times, and she believes that although your offensive capabilities are strong, your self-defense is lacking. Although you can compensate with speed, as your Cultivation Level gets higher, this weakness will be magnified step by step!
So her suggestion is that one of your last two Star Pattern slots should reserve a space for a mid-tier Earth Origin.
The Earth Series of defense is the strongest. As long as you learn the mid-tier Earth Origin, with the fundamental Star Skills you’ve learned, you will immediately be able to form a very strong defense, and at a minimum, it will be at least thirty percent stronger than your Fire Series defense," Cheng Yuxiao explained.
"But State Preceptor, I currently have a high-tier Fire Origin of the Seventh Tier Upper, which should make up for that gap?" Xu Jin frowned.
However, keeping a variety of Star Skills is a necessity for a cultivator, otherwise it is easy to be targeted!
Like me, my main practice consists of the Wind, Earth, and Gold Three Series Star Skills, but I also know some of the Fire, Water, and Ice Series. I won’t suffer too much when faced with special terrain and scenarios.
Specializing in one thing can lead to significant losses if targeted.
So I think Liu Qingzhu’s suggestion is correct.
Moreover, she grinded me down for a large part of the day and finally, she got a Sixth Tier Upper Earth Origin Star Pattern for you," Cheng Yuxiao said with a laugh.
"Sixth Tier Upper Earth Origin Star Pattern?"
Xu Jin was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, Liu Qingzhu, your teacher, has been quite good to you, begging me several times. I even felt embarrassed to deceive her. When she passes it to you later, don’t let it slip," Cheng Yuxiao said.
"Don’t worry, State Preceptor. By the way, State Preceptor, what is the latest version of our National Daoist Institute’s Earth Origin Star Pattern?" Xu Jin asked.
"The most recent version of the Earth Origin Star Pattern is the Seventh Tier Lower, but basically, no one uses it to break through. The chance of breaking through is too low," Cheng Yuxiao answered, raising his eyebrows slightly, "Why, you want it?"
Xu Jin chuckled slyly, "Since you’ve already given the Sixth Tier Upper, why not do it in one step? Give me the Seventh Tier Lower to save time."
Hearing this, Cheng Yuxiao smiled, "You really don’t understand, do you think I’m unwilling to give it to you?
Normally speaking, let alone Third Tier, even Fourth Tier or Fifth Tier cultivators are unable to learn the Seventh Tier Star Patterns! You’ve deduced the Seventh Tier Star Patterns before; you know the reason."
