Chapter 236: Chapter 128 Cleanup Operation (Please Subscribe)

Before the Star Picking Square of the Da Chen National Daoist School, the rotund figure of Zeng Yao suddenly tumbled out, his abdomen still spurting blood. Over twenty wounds covered his body, leaving him drenched in blood.

Immediately, several on-duty instructors gathered around to dress his wounds and treat his injuries, while simultaneously inquiring about various details.

This information was promptly relayed back to the Da Chen National Daoist School during the autumn exam in the secret realm and soon laid before some of the high-ranking members who were still within the Secret Realm.

"True Disciple Zeng Yao, two inches and two-tenths at the Central Star Palace for Star Casting, one inch and nine-tenths at the Lower Star Palace. He encountered an ambush by three members of the Red Scale Clan within the Star Refining Realm and returned; the highest in cultivation level among them was at the Fourth Layer of Star Refining."

"True Disciple Bu Xutui, two inches and one-tenth at the Central Star Palace for Star Casting, one inch and nine-tenths at the Lower Star Palace. She encountered an ambush by five members of the Red Scale Clan and returned, among them four in the Star Refining Realm, with the highest in cultivation level at the Third Layer."

After this information was presented, the high-ranking members of the Da Chen National Daoist School present were all frowning in concern.

"It’s only been eighteen two-hour periods, and there are already so many from the Star Refining Realm, including someone from the Fourth Layer. This Fire Radiant Star Domain has developed very quickly in the past few years," said Fang Shinan, one of the Four Great Academicians, frowning as he turned toward State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

But the figure of State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao was vague, clearly indicating that his physical body was not present. He then looked toward the Left Libationer Meng Yanhui, "Elder Meng, what do you think?"

"We already have a cleansing plan for the Fire Radiant Star Domain! But due to limitations, we can only send disciples at the Peak of Star Casting. So far, an appropriate team has not been assembled," said Meng Yanhui.

Fang Shinan frowned again, "Elder Meng, I think we need to hurry up! If a Fourth Layer of Star Refining has appeared within just eighteen two-hour periods, then the Five and Sixth Layers of Star Refining in this Fire Radiant Star Domain are likely not few.

"Even the Seventh Layer is possible.

"If we do nothing, next year’s disciples undergoing Star Casting may suffer heavy casualties!"

"I understand,"

said Meng Yanhui, equally helpless.

Although the Fire Radiant Star Domain had been refined and controlled, due to the limitations of the Star Gate, control was still limited.

And to cleanse it, disciples capable of killing enemies beyond their realm were needed.

Those who could kill across one or two minor realms were plentiful.

Every True Disciple had this ability.

Including the recently returned Zeng Yao and Bu Xutui, although forced to use the return Jade, they managed to slay several of the Star Refining Red Scale Clan members before their return.

To kill an early Realm of Star Refining with early Realm of Star Casting was already quite strong.

But disciples who could slay late Realm of Star Refining even at the peak of Star Casting Realm were very scarce.

They were tremendously rare.

Because the Star Casting Realm is merely a transitional realm, its essence is to greatly increase Star Power after Star Casting, firmly embarking on the path of cultivation.

The early period of the Star Refining Realm also only adds two or three more Star Patterns than the Star Casting Realm, and the increase in strength is not too significant.

But in the late period of the Star Refining Realm, one must engrave six or seven additional Star Patterns, and combat power can multiply compared to the early Star Refining period.

And the late period of Star Casting Realm compared to its early period is only an enhancement of Star Power.

So, for early Star Casting Realm to kill early Star Refining Realm is not difficult, but for late Star Casting to slay late Star Refining is immensely difficult.

Such disciples are incredibly hard to come by!

Therefore, cleansing a second-tier Star Domain has always been a major issue.

It is also one of the reasons why the Da Chen National Daoist School limits the number of Star Casting disciples who may enter a second-tier Star Domain.

Those without sufficient strength are simply sent to their deaths.

But if cleansing could be achieved, then in the next two or three years, the number of disciples that could be sent into the second-tier Star Domain for Star Casting could dramatically increase, and would greatly enhance the foundation of future disciples at the Da Chen National Daoist School.

Unfortunately...

Inside the Fire Radiant Star Domain, Xu Jin had reached the limit of Star Casting and had begun cultivation.

After beginning his cultivation, Xu Jin further discovered another marvelous aspect of the Leakless Innate Star Body.

That was the increased speed of cultivation.

The cultivation speed of most people is not only limited by the Star Power Concentration of the environment they’re in, but also by their own bodies.

It’s like digging a canal on a big river; the river’s water may be turbulent, but if your canal is only half a meter wide, then no matter how raging the river is, you can only draw half a meter width of water.

The Leakless Innate Star Body however, is like having a canal wide enough, and even able to automatically widen according to the water pressure.

Others have half a meter; Xu Jin’s is over a meter wide, and moreover, the more water there is in the river, the greater the pressure endured by Xu Jin’s canal. Under this pressure, the canal widens further, drawing even more water.

It was probably for this reason that Xu Jin’s Star Power restoration rate had doubled before.

At this moment, fully committed to cultivation, Xu Jin felt the Star Power rapidly rushing into his Star Core, steadily filling it and making the Starlight within become denser and denser.

The speed was incredibly fast.

In just three two-hour periods, Xu Jin’s Star Core in the Central Star Palace began to show a faint halo, an indication of the middle period of Star Casting.

Xu Jin had previously inquired Ning Yuchan about this matter, and Ning Yuchan had said that for a True Disciple of the Daoist School, normally the fastest transition from the early to middle period of Star Casting in the modern era would take three to five days.

But now, Xu Jin had only used three two-hour periods.

Xu Jin understood that this included the effect of his Leakless Innate Star Body, but more importantly, it was the Star Power Concentration of the Fire Radiant Star Domain, which was three times that of the modern world.

An opportunity not to be missed!

Xu Jin continued his arduous practice.

Within the secret realm of the autumn exam at the Da Chen National Daoist School, the names of one disciple after another vanished from the luminous spheres of the Fire Radiant Star Domain, laying one report after another before the high-ranking members of the National Daoist School.
