Indeed, the dead hold no value!

No matter how brilliant you were in life or how high your status, once you’ve become a corpse, your value plummets by more than ninety percent.

Previously, Zi Hao, the King of the Purple Wings, was followed and attended to by crowds of guards, and even during rest periods, a Fourth Tier Star Condensing expert would stand guard at night.

But now, having become a corpse, he was carelessly thrown into a warehouse.

It must have been done in secret, with only an Early Period Refining Star guard on watch, who was dozing off.

But then again, it was precisely because of this that no one noticed Zi Hao’s body.

Dozing off was like handing a pillow to Xu Jin; upon employing the Warm Dream Star Pattern, he immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Quickly, Xu Jin obtained the information he needed.

Zi Chi, the Great Commander of the Purple Wing Royal Palace, had come to take something an hour ago.

Taking something was probably just a pretext; the real purpose was to dispose of Zi Hao’s body.

Xu Jin easily entered the warehouse, which was filled with daily reward items, none of which were particularly valuable.

The body of Zi Hao, the King of the Purple Wing Clan, was carelessly tossed onto the ground.

The headless corpse looked quite ferocious.

However, Xu Jin felt a surge of joy upon inspection; except for being headless, the rest of the body was intact, meaning what Xu Jin needed was still there.

He felt around and found that Zi Hao’s inner robe was empty.

The disheveled clothing indicated that Zi Hao’s body had already been searched.

With a Star Blade materialized, Xu Jin directly extracted the Fourth Tier Upper Thunder Light flashing Star Core from Zi Hao’s chest.

The Lower Star Palace was still empty.

This was the very thing Xu Jin had been yearning for since he slew Zi Hao.

Zi Hao, the King of the Third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain, was an existence at the Peak of the Fourth Tier Star Condensing Ninth Layer.

His Star Core was bound to provide Xu Jin with a Protection Star Pattern.

Once in his possession, as the Starlight on the Candou Platform flashed, Xu Jin immediately swapped it for the Fourth Tier Upper Thunder Spirit Star Core. In a blink, information surfaced on the Jade.

[Ritual Offering Spiritual Objects Three: Fourth Tier Upper Thunder Spirit]

[Possible Protections Acquired: Mid-tier Thunder Origin, Mid-tier Thunder Wing, Purple Thunder Bomb]

Seeing Mid-tier Thunder Origin, Xu Jin knew it was worth it.

Extremely worth it.

He immediately chose the Star Pattern Protection for Mid-tier Thunder Origin.

However, Xu Jin didn’t let this prize cloud his judgement; as of now, all of Xu Jin’s Thunder Series Star Skills came from external forces.

Essentially, apart from the speed and high explosive power of the Thunder Series Star Skills, the true might was still considerably less than Xu Jin’s primary Fire Series Star Skills.

After careful consideration, compared to Fire Series Star Skills, the Thunder Series Star Skills lacked a Thunder Feather Heart and an explosive Star Pattern similar to Flame Burst.

Moreover, Xu Jin had repeatedly sensed using his Mingji Star Pattern.

The Mid-tier Thunder Origin brought by the Fourth Tier Upper Thunder Spirit was still slightly inferior to the Mid-tier Fire Origin that Xu Jin had engraved.

Of course, this was a subtle difference, which Xu Jin wouldn’t have detected without the Mingji Star Pattern.

Nevertheless, his journey in the Third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain made Xu Jin’s future cultivation path much clearer.

Barring any unexpected developments, Xu Jin’s future Star Skills might primarily focus on the Fire and Thunder Series.

After Star Condensation, he must somehow manage to engrave a Thunder Series Star Core.

Pairing Fire with Thunder Series would definitely result in an explosive increase in combat power.

The only issue was that the Da Chen National Daoist School had very few Thunder Series Star Patterns.

Xu Jin wasn’t in a rush; first wait until after Star Condensation, then slowly find a way.

After some thought, Xu Jin adjusted his offerings to two Fourth Tier Thunder Spirits and one Third-tier Upper Fire Spirit.

Flame Burst remained Xu Jin’s strongest technique at the moment.

A few moments later, Xu Jin left the warehouse.

He began wandering around the entire Royal Palace, sensing everything.

Trouble was inevitable next, but before causing trouble, Xu Jin had to first understand the dangers within the Royal Palace and find a good escape route.

The life-saving ability of the Chaotic Star Pendant, of which the Golden Bell Shield had been replenished with Star Power by Xu Jin, would take a full day to recover.

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Jin had thoroughly understood the situation.

Currently, within the entire Royal Palace, there was only one Third Layer Star Condensing guard of the Purple Wing Royal Family, a confidant of Zi Chi.

Within the entire Purple Wing Royal City, there were only two Third Layer Star Condensing Purple Wing Royal Family members guarding it, both confidants of Zi Chi.

All other experts, including Zi Chi, had gone out to pursue Xu Jin.

Becoming the King of the Purple Wing Clan would be difficult.

But if he could refine the Thunder Feather Heart stolen earlier by Xu Jin, then the position of King of the Purple Wing Clan was seventy percent secured.

"Since that’s the case, it would be a disservice to your king not to make a big scene."

In a whisper, Xu Jin.

Returned to the warehouse, released some Star Power, and the still-sleeping Refining Star guard had silently died.

The next instant, Xu Jin directly carried Zi Hao’s body out.

Fortunately, Zi Hao’s highly conspicuous robe of the Purple Wing King had not been removed.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult to prove anything with this headless body.

In the entire Purple Wind Star Domain, only the King could wear the most prestigious purple garments.

The next moment, with a surge of Thunder Wings, using Thunder Burst Step in rapid succession, Xu Jin crossed a great distance of the Royal Palace in an instant and arrived at the area between the Royal Palace and its gates, where the armies of the Purple Wing Clan were most abundant.

Moreover, a number of Purple Wing nobles, having heard the news, had gathered to see their King but were blocked by the army!

Thunder Light exploded, and in an instant, Xu Jin captured all the attention.

"Zi Hao is dead, here is his body!"

Xu Jin’s voice, like a thunderburst, resounded instantly, and then he tossed Zi Hao’s body right into the midst of the group of Purple Wing nobles gathered in front of the Royal Palace.
