Chapter 1429: Chapter 573: Celebrating the State Preceptor (Part 2)

"Then I’ll send ten Eighth Tier fighters down all at once. Among them, one is an Eighth Tier Peak. You only need to prepare a hundred thousand Sixth Rank Star Jade and ten thousand Seventh Rank Star Jade or Star Core." Golden Shuo True Monarch asked.

"This... father, I need Ninth Tier power now."

"You said you needed Ninth Tier power. The cost for this is on a completely different level." Golden Shuo True Monarch replied.

After a few moments of silence, Ju Zhang stated, "Father, what kind of price do I need to pay?"

"As you wish to open a realm channel for Ninth Tier travel with your Ninth Tier Early Period cultivation level, support at the level of laws is required. You are just getting acquainted with them, normally, you cannot open it, but you have the Heaven and Earth Authority supporting you.

However, your cultivation level is insufficient, so if you forcefully open it, it will inevitably draw from your life source.

In short, it will consume your... lifespan." Golden Shuo True Monarch explained.

"Lifespan?"

Ju Zhang’s lips curled in bewilderment, "Father, how much will this consume?"

"Every breath consumes around ten years. It takes about five breaths to transmit a Ninth Tier Early Period, and seven breaths for a Ninth Tier Middle Period."

"Father, I remember the adult members of our Golden Pillar Saint Clan generally have a lifespan of around two hundred years, right? Having broken through to Ninth Tier, I should have at least over three hundred years.

Theoretically, I have around two hundred and fifty years of lifespan to expend?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Approximately." After a long while, a voice finally resonated from within the connecting Golden Pillar, "However, Zhang’er, my advice is that victory and defeat are common among strategists. If you can accept it, even if you fail in the future and return to the Ancestor Realm, as long as you have lifespan, there’s always a chance to rise again.

Keep in mind, the next lifespan limit, unless you can break through the Tenth Tier limit and reach Eleventh Tier, or prematurely attain the position of Great Star Monarch, there is no other way to compensate."

"Father, I’ve made my decision, I want to open this channel." Ju Zhang said firmly.

Another moment of silence passed within the connecting Golden Pillar before a voice emerged, "Zhang’er, you are brave. As your father, I will give you advice, but I will support any decision you make that seems right."

"Thank you, father."

"Then you’ll just consume seventy years of lifespan, and after opening the channel, I’ll arrange for a competent Ninth Tier Middle Period subordinate to come over. As for someone from our clan, I won’t arrange as they may not be under your control." Golden Shuo True Monarch said.

"Father, what about Ninth Tier Late Period? How many years of lifespan does it require?

Ninety years, or a hundred?" Ju Zhang suddenly asked.

"At least ninety years, and it shouldn’t exceed a hundred and ten years."

"Then, father, please arrange a Ninth Tier Late Period expert and a Ninth Tier Early Period expert to come over. Your child humbly thanks father for his profound grace."

After saying this, even though Golden Shuo True Monarch could not see, Ju Zhang still knelt on the ground, knocking his forehead on the connecting Golden Pillar passionately!

Upon standing up again, Ju Zhang’s eyes were red.

For it was only now that Ju Zhang understood that from childhood to adulthood, the one who could selflessly help him without regard for cost was probably his father.

Only his father!

"Why?" After a long while, a voice finally came from within the connecting Golden Pillar.

"Father, you said the limitations of Heaven and Earth have been lifted, and there’s a good chance there’ll be more Ninth Tier appearing on the Human Clan side.

If only one comes, no matter if we add another Ninth Tier in the clan, it doesn’t provide much advantage.

You child doesn’t want to play this incremental tactic anymore.

Your child wants to achieve victory with overwhelming superiority." Ju Zhang stated.

After a few breaths, Ju Zhang continued, "Besides, I also want to be Father’s greatest... your pride!"

After a long pause, a sigh was heard from within the connecting Golden Pillar, "Actually, you already are."

Ju Zhang pressed his lips and remained silent.

"Zhang’er, this is your decision, and as your father, I will give my full support. Since you’ve already increased the stakes for yourself, then as your father, I’ll add one more layer.

The Nine-tier Tao Artifact Golden Snake Bomb I used back in the day will be sent along with you by Xuan Hu, costing only an extra ten years or so of lifespan.

With its assistance, your combat power can rise a small tier, and combined with Heaven and Earth Authority, your combat power could rival Ninth Tier Late Period." Golden Shuo True Monarch said.

"Golden Snake Bomb? Father even sends Uncle Xuan Hu over, thank you very much, father." Ju Zhang rejoiced.

"Hmm, other Ninth Tier Late Period experts may be difficult for you to manage, potentially causing more harm than good, while Xuan Hu’s power is strong and loyal, couldn’t be better."

"Father surely thinks everything through."

"Then... you must obtain the position of Great Star Monarch in Qianling Domain. That’s currently the only opportunity to significantly increase lifespan, understand?"

"Father, your child adheres to this."

"Then prepare as required, a hundred thousand Sixth Rank Star Jade or Star Core, and ten thousand Seventh Rank Star Jade or Star Core, that’s the foundation."

"Understood."

Within Guard City number one on the Galaxy Battlefield, the newly constructed Tianyang Star Hall stands more than ten meters taller than the Star-picking Tower Branch here.

Currently, the Tianyang Star Lord is standing by the window at the highest point of the Star Hall tower, gazing towards the starry sky outside Guard City thirteen.

"Dachen, there’s another Eighth Tier addition, found out who it is?" Tianyang Star Lord asked.

The Sixth Elder, Xia Zhong, responsible for intelligence, appeared silently, "Reporting to the Lord, it’s Marquis Luoshui, Song Shoujie."

Upon hearing this, Tianyang Star Lord frowned, "Wasn’t it said that Marquis Luoshui, Song Shoujie, wouldn’t be able to break through to Eighth Tier within a short time? At least it would take another five to ten years?"
