Chapter 231: Chapter 126: Fire Radiant Star Domain (Subscribe Please)_3

And in the Fire Radiant Star Domain, atop this high mountain, the concentration of Star Power was about one-tenth denser than on the flat ground.

Seated cross-legged, in less than 100 breaths, Xu Jin’s Star Power had recovered to its peak state.

This was the effect of his Leakless Innate Star Body, but in today’s battle, Xu Jin discovered another wonderful aspect of the Leakless Innate Star Body.

An important feature of the Leakless Innate Star Body is that the physical body is as unobstructed as the innate, able to breathe in Star Power with each inhalation, automatically recovering Star Power at every moment.

However, this automatic recovery was rather limited.

Yet, within the extremely dense Star Power of the Second-tier Fire Radiant Star Domain, Xu Jin found that as long as he wasn’t in continuous high-intensity combat, the passive absorption of Star Power by his Leakless Innate Star Body could basically make up for his consumption during battle.

In those two hours, after slaying more than sixty Red Scale Warriors, Xu Jin’s Star Power was basically undamaged.

In the next instant, Xu Jin soared into the sky, executing the Flying Star Step explosively, leaping nearly forty meters off the ground. As the Starlight beneath his feet burst to extend his time in the air, Xu Jin quickly scanned his surroundings.

Within his field of vision, no trace of the Red Scale Clan was found.

From Xu Jin’s current height, the absence of enemies meant that the next two hours were safe.

He could begin Star Casting!

The next moment, Xu Jin calmed his mind and took out two First Essence regular Star Casting Pills, pinching one in each hand.

These Star Casting Pills, said to be refined from Star Cores, needed not to be ingested but could be absorbed by holding them in the hands.

His mind sinking into the Central Star Palace’s Great Gathering Star Pattern, Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Power began to forcefully drive the rotation of the Great Gathering Star Pattern.

According to Ning Yuchan, the hardest part was using Divine Soul Power to initiate the rotation of the Great Gathering Star Pattern. Ordinary disciples needed roughly half an hour, even talented disciples needed about 15 minutes, and those disciples who had climbed over 180 steps of the Heavenly Ascending Stairs could start the rotation within 15 minutes.

Only then could one absorb the Star Power from the Star Casting Pill to expand the Star Palace and absorb the dense Star Power from Heaven and Earth to strengthen the Star Core.

Xu Jin had some ideas about this step as well.

If other talents took about 15 minutes for the first step, then, with his Sixth Layer of Refining Star Divine Soul Power, halving the time shouldn’t be a problem, right?

This first step would take roughly 15 mins.

But to Xu Jin’s surprise, three seconds.

Under the full force of his Divine Soul Power, on the third second, a sudden sharp pain coursed through Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace, and the initially immobile Great Gathering Star Pattern suddenly began to rotate.

In one second, it went from extremely slow to extremely fast, causing Xu Jin’s expression to distort with pain.

In the next moment, the two First Essence Star Casting Pills held in his hands were like encountering a vacuum pump, with the massive amount of Star Power contained within them surging through his arms into the Central Star Palace at his chest.

With internal vision, Xu Jin could see the massive Star Power revolving around the quickly spinning Great Gathering Star Pattern, like a vortex blade, rotating at high speed.

The Star Blade for expansion took shape.

With every rotation, a circle was carved out of Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace, which had been still like a stagnant pool.

With each expansion, a large amount of Star Power revolving outside the Great Gathering Star Pattern was consumed, but this consumed Star Power was quickly replenished by the First Essence Star Casting Pills held in his hands.

Xu Jin continued to accelerate the rotation of the Great Gathering Star Pattern with his Divine Soul Power.

Until the Great Gathering Star Pattern, along with the Star Blade surrounding it, had spun into a light cluster resembling a blade’s silhouette.

Because Ning Yuchan had explained, the faster the Great Gathering Star Pattern rotated, the easier and faster the expansion of the Star Palace.

This was also the fundamental reason why those with stronger Divine Soul Power find it easier to perform Star Casting, and why they are able to cast a higher-grade Star Core.

This was the core reason behind using the number of steps climbed on the Heavenly Ascending Stairs during the autumn exam at the Da Chen National Daoist School as the ranking for entrance.

The stronger the Divine Soul, the higher the probability of successfully performing Star Casting and the higher the quality of the Star Core cast.

During the process of the Great Gathering Star Pattern’s high-speed rotation, the massive Star Power of the Second-tier Fire Radiant Star Domain seeped in rapidly through Xu Jin’s millions of pores and converged within the Great Gathering Star Pattern, instantly forming a pinpoint-sized light spot.

The Star Core was initially formed, as small as the tip of a needle.

This newly cast Star Core was quickly growing in size.

An immense surge of Star Power flooded in like a tide.

In just 15 minutes, it filled the space of the Central Star Palace and the Great Gathering Star Pattern that had been inscribed in the same span of time.

At this moment, with the Star Core formed, casting an inch-sized Star Core was considered low-grade.

If he were to stop now, then what Xu Jin would have cast was the most inferior low-grade Star Core.

But clearly, that was impossible.

The drug efficacy of the First Essence Star Casting Pill Xu Jin had nurtured was exceptionally strong, still continuously outputting Star Power.

A hundred breaths later, the two First Essence Star Casting Pills in his hands crumbled into dust, and Xu Jin immediately took out another two First Essence regular Star Casting Pills, pinched them in his hands, absorbed Star Power, and continued the Star Casting process.

After 15 minutes and a half, having used up a total of four First Essence Star Casting Pills, Xu Jin cast an inch and a half-sized Star Core, which was considered Middle Grade.

Up to this point, casting a Middle Grade Star Core had still been exceedingly easy for Xu Jin.

Continue!

After consuming three more First Essence Star Casting Pills, the Star Core in Xu Jin’s chest, having cast two inches, Xu Jin successfully cast a top-grade Star Core.

According to Ning Yuchan, using the Star Casting Pills in Xu Jin’s possession, casting a top-grade Star Core was not difficult, and the challenge was in simultaneously casting two top-grade Star Cores and the continued expansion after casting a top-grade Star Core.

After casting the top-grade Star Core, the difficulty of expanding the Star Palace multiplied. Each bit of growth of the Star Core was an enhancement of the foundations for the future.

Therefore, in Star Casting, one must cast to their own limits.

And at the same moment, Xu Jin, who was continuing to cast, also truly experienced the increased difficulty.

After casting two inches, the Star Power provided by the regular First Essence Star Casting Pill was no longer enough to expand the Central Star Palace.

It became incredibly weak!

In an instant, Xu Jin took out two First Essence high-grade Star Casting Pills and pinched them in his hands.

Instantly, the Star Blades of Star Power which took several breaths to carve out a space the thickness of a hair, suddenly began ferociously cutting and expanding the Central Star Palace like they were laced with adrenaline.

For a moment, Xu Jin’s two-inch top-grade Star Core began to grow once more!
