Chapter 658: Chapter 268: Filial Piety (Update of 12,000 for Monthly Ticket)_4

"The Lougong Battle hasn’t ended yet, has it? What are you scrambling around for, kid? You’ve made me mess up my emblem," he said.

"Teacher, it hasn’t ended yet, but there’s good news," Xu Jin replied with a smile as he moved closer and whispered, "Teacher, have you been stuck at the Fourth Tier Ninth Layer Peak without breaking through?"

Upon hearing this, Academician Kou looked at Xu Jin as if he were looking at a lunatic and said, "What are you thinking, lad? The State Preceptor’s Divine Soul Cultivation has been stuck at the Fourth Tier Ninth Layer Peak for years without a breakthrough. What am I to rush for? I’m not in a hurry at all. In fact, I haven’t even considered breaking through to the Fifth Tier."

"Oh, you haven’t considered it? So, Teacher, what benefits would you gain if your Divine Soul Cultivation were to break through to the Fifth Tier?" Xu Jin asked with a smile.

"The benefits? There’s no need to mention them; there are plenty. Increasing combat power, enhancing cultivation speed, extending lifespan; the most typical advantages are these three," said Academician Kou Jing, and then he paused, "Of course, for someone like me, a grandmaster of emblem crafting, there might be a possibility to create emblems with might surpassing those of Sixth Tier Peak experts. Of course, it would only be infinitely close to the power unleashed by Seventh Tier experts. Everything still requires exploration and research."

Xu Jin was surprised, but his focus was on the aspect of extending lifespan, "Teacher, can lifespan really be extended after breaking through to the Fifth Tier in Divine Soul Cultivation?"

"Of course, and it’s a key aspect. Below the Seventh Tier, including Sixth Tier Peak experts and those whose Divine Soul has reached the Fourth Tier Ninth Layer Peak, the limit of lifespan is around one hundred and twenty years. According to the records, one hundred and fifty years is the limit for cultivators below the Seventh Tier. It’s complicated as it involves both the physical body and the Divine Soul. Once one’s cultivation breaks through to the Seventh Tier, one can, to a certain extent, attract the power of the stars to nourish the body and augment lifespan, though the increase isn’t much—usually around another sixty years, depending on the individual’s condition, typically around one hundred eighty years or so. As for breaking through to the Eighth Tier, it is said that it can also add another sixty years to one’s life. However, the most significant increase in lifespan is when the Divine Soul Cultivation breaks through to the Fifth Tier and condenses the Primordial Spirit. It’s said that those who condense the Primordial Spirit can extend their lifespan by at least another one hundred and twenty years. But in this world, ninety-nine percent of people are unable to condense the Primordial Spirit. Breaking through to the Fifth Tier and condensing the Primordial Spirit is too difficult," Kou Jing lamented.

Hearing this, Xu Jin suddenly had a thought, "Teacher, if I use a pill to enhance my father’s Divine Soul Cultivation to the Fifth Tier, can he directly extend his lifespan by one hundred and twenty years?"

Kou Jing, however, shook his head, "It’s not as simple as you think. If you do that, there is only one outcome for your father: his body will explode and he will die! The Divine Soul and the body must complement each other; if the Divine Soul becomes too empowered without a corresponding strong body, the body will collapse right there and then. If you really want to extend your father’s lifespan, you should look for some pills. Or else, get him on the path of cultivation; if he starts, and consumes a massive amount of resources, it should be possible to elevate his cultivation to the Sixth Tier Peak. As for breaking through to the Seventh Tier, that would depend on his personal fate."

After finishing, Kou Jing earnestly added, "I know you are filial, but in this matter, you must not obsess. Just do your best with a sincere heart."

"Teacher, I understand!"

Xu Jin smiled and nodded. Then, as if presenting a treasure, he handed over a Star Jade that contained one-tenth of the power of a Divine Statue, "So, I’ve come to pay my respects to you, Teacher."

"What is this?" Kou Jing was taken aback.

"Teacher, this contains drug efficacy equivalent to 110 Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills. You can take it at an opportune time, and your Divine Soul Cultivation should be able to break through to the Fifth Tier, condensing a Primordial Spirit," Xu Jin said.

At these words, Kou Jing flicked Xu Jin’s forehead sharply, "You young rascal, what nonsense are you spouting? Where in the world is there such a treasure? If there were such a thing, it should be given to the State Preceptor immediately! That way, the lives of the citizens of Dachen could be even better."

"I’ve already given it," Xu Jin nodded seriously.

Hearing this, Kou Jing was stunned, "Are you serious, lad?"

"Of course, why wouldn’t I be serious about what I give to you, Teacher? Just accept it and absorb it when the time is right, preferably within nine days; otherwise, it will continue to leak its power."

After giving his instructions, Xu Jin quickly took his leave.

He still needed to continue participating in the Lougong Battle.

Watching Xu Jin’s departing figure, Academician Kou picked up the treasure that could break through his Divine Soul, his hands trembling.

If his Divine Soul Cultivation could break through to condense the Primordial Spirit at the Fifth Tier,

It would surely extend his lifespan by a full 120 years; his future lifespan might exceed three hundred years, greatly increasing the hope of breaking through to the Eighth Tier.

If he condensed the Primordial Spirit, the speed at which he engraved Emblems would increase dramatically. What used to require one or two months of meticulous preparation to engrave a successful Sixth Tier Emblem

Could now be achieved in a number of days.

In an emergency, it could be done in a single day.

If he condensed the Primordial Spirit, creating an Emblem with power infinitely close to the Seventh Tier would be just around the corner.

If he condensed the Primordial Spirit, with his current cultivation at the Seventh Tier Lower, he could easily contend with enemies at the Seventh Tier Middle or even Seventh Tier Upper.

With another breakthrough, his combat power would be among the top of this world.

It seemed that this piece of Star Jade had changed his destiny.

The next moment, Academician Kou Jing shook his head; it was not the Star Jade that changed his fate.

It was his disciple, Xu Jin.

Without Xu Jin, he could not successfully break through to the Seventh Tier.

Without Xu Jin, his Divine Soul Cultivation would be stuck at the Fourth Rank Ninth Layer Peak for life, without even thinking about breaking through, let alone actually doing it.

But now, a breakthrough seemed hopeful.

A host of benefits were about to follow.

The next instant, Academician Kou Jing picked up the Star Jade, intending to make a breakthrough, but immediately stopped.

The Lougong Battle was still ongoing, his disciple Xu Jin was clearly still fighting, and he needed to continue engraving Emblems to prepare Fifth Tier and Sixth Tier Emblems for combat use.

But on second thought, if his Divine Soul Cultivation were to break through to condense the Primordial Spirit at the Fifth Tier, then the speed of engraving Emblems would be greatly increased.

If what Xu Jin had said was true, then the chances of him condensing the Primordial Spirit were high, and the breakthrough could happen within one to two hours.

In an instant, Academician Kou decided to make the breakthrough first.

But to make the breakthrough, he had to be in a perfect state.

The next moment, Academician Kou immediately rose and headed to Pill Dawn Palace; he intended to request the State Preceptor to perform the Warm Dream technique, allowing him to sleep and quickly recuperate, and then proceed with the breakthrough.

Of course, he also had to inquire about the related situation.

Inside the second floor of Star-picking Tower, Xu Jin was deciding which next Star Domain he was about to step into; should he enter the Fourth Tier Green Bamboo Star Domain, or the Fourth Tier Giant Elephant Star Domain?

After pondering, Xu Jin directly asked the Star Spirit, "Star Spirit, how are the battle results in the Green Bamboo and Giant Elephant Star Domains?"

Xu Jin asked about battle results because he wanted to know if either of the two teams had slain a Star Domain King.

Because Xu Jin’s primary target was to obtain the Heaven and Earth Star Will. If it had been slain, then there would be no gain.

"The squad led by Wang Rusong into the Fourth Tier Green Bamboo Star Domain has greater battle results, having already slain one Star Domain King, but the probability of slaying a second Star Domain King is not high," said the Star Spirit.

"Why?" Xu Jin asked, puzzled.

"Because Wang Rusong used two Sixth Tier Emblems to slay the first Star Domain King, I estimate he no longer has any Sixth Tier Emblems. I don’t know the specifics beyond that," the Star Spirit said.

"What about the Giant Elephant Star Domain?"

"The situation of Fang Ying’s team in the Giant Elephant Star Domain is quite dire. They’ve narrowly escaped death several times and are currently struggling to hold on, moving towards the temporary star gate, seemingly intending to make an exit," the Star Spirit said.

"Okay, I understand."

"When will you give me an update?" the Star Spirit urged.

"After the battle."

The next moment, Xu Jin stepped into the Fourth Tier Giant Elephant Star Domain with a single step, all under the watchful eyes of Meng Yanhui and Dai Guanwen.

Not long after Xu Jin entered the Fourth Tier Giant Elephant Star Domain, Chief Peng, with hair all white, stepped into the Pill Dawn Palace, his face brimming with joy.
