The first reason was not a problem for Xu Jin at all.
Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Origin Consciousness was incredibly strong.
Not to mention controlling twenty-four, Xu Jin felt that even more than thirty was possible.
The second reason also seemed to not be a problem for him.
For others, especially cultivators outside Lingji Star Hall, having several more Divine Soul Stars indeed slowed down the progress of Divine Soul Cultivation.
This was confirmed when most disciples of Lingji Star Hall engraved several extra Divine Soul Stars during Condensing Primordial Spirit.
Why could the Lingji Star Lord engrave seven Divine Soul Stars without slowing down his cultivation progress?
The reason was simple. He possessed the latest version of the Clearing Soul Star Pattern; his high position ensured he had vast resources to enhance his Divine Soul Cultivation.
Both were indispensable.
So, did Xu Jin have them?
Xu Jin felt that he did.
The Clearing Soul Star Pattern, the latest version from Lingji Star Hall, was at the Sixth Tier Upper.
Xu Jin was also at the Sixth Tier Upper.
In the future, Xu Jin could even deduce the Seventh Tier of the Clearing Soul Star Pattern.
In this regard, he was even stronger than the Lingji Star Lord.
Resources to enhance the Divine Soul Star’s cultivation?
In this regard, Xu Jin was not comparable to the Lingji Star Lord.
However, Xu Jin had the Candou Platform.
Whether it was the Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pill or the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to enhance the Divine Soul Cultivation, the Candou Platform could make them have extremely strong drug efficacy.
That was not a problem either.
Even, Xu Jin thought of a method similar to "exploiting a bug."
Engraving the Clearing Soul Star Pattern could passively increase Divine Soul Cultivation.
So, if Xu Jin engraved the Clearing Soul Star Pattern on several Divine Soul Stars,
Wouldn’t that be equivalent to having dozens or hundreds of sources that passively increase Divine Soul Cultivation?
Xu Jin felt that he could condense a few more Divine Soul Stars.
Because opportunity never knocks twice!
The State Preceptor had said that once the Primordial Spirit is completely condensed, it is no longer possible to condense more Divine Soul Stars.
That is, in the future, even if Xu Jin had the surplus power, condensing more Divine Soul Stars would no longer be possible!
So, just continue to condense Divine Soul Stars.
When Xu Jin condensed the thirty-fifth Divine Soul Star, his Divine Soul Origin Consciousness, nourished by the Divine Soul Stars, had grown more than six times from the beginning, but Xu Jin faintly felt a certain limit!
The limit of Divine Soul Origin Consciousness in controlling Divine Soul Stars.
There was no longer the carefree freedom like when the Divine Soul Origin Consciousness had just started to grow.
Of course, it was still much, much stronger than the wavering feeling of control before the Divine Soul Origin Consciousness had grown.
Twenty breaths later, after the thirty-sixth Divine Soul Star was condensed, Xu Jin felt that he was a bit closer to the control limit.
Xu Jin estimated that his current limit of Divine Soul Origin Consciousness in controlling Divine Soul Stars was about forty or so.
Limits, better not to mess with them.
Thirty-six Divine Soul Stars, that number was pretty good.
The next moment, Xu Jin began to stimulate his Divine Soul Origin Consciousness, starting to fuse the thirty-six Divine Soul Stars into one using the massive Divine Soul Power as the medium.
Under Xu Jin’s control, the thirty-six Divine Soul Stars condensed into a figure sitting cross-legged.
Using the thirty-six Divine Soul Stars as the skeleton and the massive Divine Soul Power as the flesh, in an instant, Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Origin Consciousness exerted force, and the thirty-six Divine Soul Stars rotated and exerted force simultaneously, resonating and integrating into one to try to completely break through the Divine Soul Cultivation to the Fifth Tier in one breath, to completely condense into a Primordial Spirit.
But just thirty breaths after the thirty-six Divine Soul Stars began to resonate and integrate, the massive Divine Soul Power brought by the previously consumed Nine-leaf Golden Lotus Seed was instantly depleted.
Xu Jin was horrified.
If the Divine Soul Power was interrupted, the breakthrough would fail.
The next instant, Xu Jin directly took out the Star Jade containing one-tenth of a Demigod’s Divine Soul Power, and began to directly absorb it.
Massive Divine Soul Power flowed into Xu Jin’s Upper Star Palace again, and the breakthrough continued.
Very quickly, Xu Jin discovered the reason.
The consumption of Divine Soul Power had greatly increased, not only because the number of Divine Soul Stars had increased to thirty-six, but also because among these thirty-six Divine Soul Stars, twenty-six had just been condensed, barely to a flickering extent.
At this moment, once stimulated, each one began to crazily devour the Divine Soul Power within the Upper Star Palace to strengthen themselves, like bottomless pits.
This discovery made Xu Jin break out in a cold sweat.
Luckily, he had not recklessly pushed to the limit.
Otherwise, he would have been in big trouble now.
Because once pushed to the limit, the Divine Soul Origin Consciousness could only barely control these Divine Soul Stars, how could it make extra controls?
But now, it was quite convenient.
Under the powerful control of Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Origin Consciousness, those twenty-six Divine Soul Stars instantly became semi-sealed, able to integrate but could no longer devour Divine Soul Power to strengthen themselves.
But even with Xu Jin’s powerful Divine Soul Origin Consciousness, he still couldn’t achieve one hundred percent control.
They were still consuming small amounts of Divine Soul Power to strengthen themselves.
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed, and the Divine Soul Power stored in this piece of Star Jade was completely depleted, but there was still one last step, a bit more Divine Soul Power, to completely condense into a Primordial Spirit.
Without hesitation, Xu Jin swallowed two Three Treasures Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills; now, he wasn’t afraid of wasting them.
If the breakthrough failed, where would he find such a vast amount of Divine Soul Power again?
Now, Xu Jin finally understood why the Lingji Star Lord had only engraved on seven Divine Soul Stars.
