Chapter 401: Chapter 179: Matter of Great Importance_2

National Master Cheng Yuexiao smiled as he stood, taking out the Star-picking Order and said, "Let’s see, if it really is him, this kid should have amassed about eight Silver Stars by now.

Just two more Silver Stars, and he would be able to undergo Tao Derivation once."

National Master Cheng Yuexiao used the Star-picking Order, and in an instant, he arrived within the Star-picking Secret Realm.

First, he glanced at the Silver Stars.

His expression showed some satisfaction.

This year, there were four hundred twenty-six new Silver Stars, and Dachen accounted for fifty-two of them.

This ratio wasn’t high.

But a month ago, the number was three hundred ninety-two new Silver Stars for the year, with Dachen adding thirty-nine Silver Stars.

In just one month, the world added thirty-four new Silver Stars in total, yet Dachen’s count surged by thirteen.

Directly accounting for one-third of the new additions.

Looking at the whole year, Dachen’s performance wasn’t impressive, but judging by this month’s data, the number of new Silver Stars from Dachen was quite dazzling.

The three nations, one clan, plus the three great Star Halls, seven powers in total—Dachen’s new Silver Stars accounted for a third, a figure that spoke volumes.

If this trend could continue for a year or two, Dachen might truly have the potential to turn the tide of battle.

The chance for Tao Derivation from Star-picking Tower, that’s far more efficient than deriving and comprehending on one’s own.

The very next moment, National Master Cheng Yuexiao glanced at the Star Secret Realm’s leaderboard, casually committing all the data to memory for comparison next time, when suddenly, his gaze shifted, and his eyes went wide!

Gold Stars!

The data for the Gold Stars had changed!

The total had increased by one, to four hundred ninety-eight!

And the number of Gold Stars added this year rose from one to two!

This year’s addition didn’t refer to just Dachen, but the total for the world!

Gold Stars, they were different!

The chance for Tao Derivation from ten Silver Stars was merely a regular opportunity, but the one from a Gold Star was a high-tier Tao Derivation chance.

Every high-tier Tao Derivation opportunity could precipitously enhance the strength of all factions or of the individual who obtained it.

In the twenty years since he took charge of the Da Chen National Daoist School, every power leap or forcing the two great Star Halls to give way involved Gold Stars in the background.

Over these twenty years, Cheng Yuexiao had obtained a total of three Gold Stars.

Which thrice propelled the combat power of the Da Chen National Daoist School.

Only then did the current situation arise.

So who could have gotten their hands on this Gold Star?

In an instant, Cheng Yuexiao thought of many possibilities, immediately feeling immense pressure.

He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to obtain a Gold Star.

And now, with the addition of one Gold Star, the most likely scenario was that the supremely talented individual who had previously obtained a Gold Star had done so once more.

Beside him, Chief Peng Tiesheng, noticing the usually composed Palace Master’s changing expressions, instantly sensed something amiss.

He immediately looked towards the Star-picking Secret Realm.

Just a single glance, and Chief Peng’s expression changed as well.

The number of Gold Stars had increased by one.

The implications behind this were immense; no wonder the Palace Master looked like this.

Instantly, the joy from Dachen’s addition of two Silver Stars was washed away.

Forget two Silver Stars, even twenty or thirty wouldn’t compare to a single Gold Star.

Perhaps, fifty Silver stars, five regular Tao Derivation opportunities, might barely match up to one high-tier Tao Derivation opportunity.

"Elder Peng, with the addition of one Gold Star, could it be Lin Xun of Tianyang Star Hall?" Cheng Yuexiao asked with a wry smile.

"It’s possible."

Chief Peng nodded, "The one added three years ago is said to be obtained by Lin Xun of Tianyang Star Hall. A year ago, Lin Xun’s Cultivation Level already reached the Ninth Layer Peak of Star Condensation, and since then, he has been honing himself, enhancing his Combat Power.

This Gold Star is very likely his."

After speaking, Chief Peng added, "Li Chun of the Cangming Star Hall is also highly possible! Two years ago, Li Chun achieved the record of obtaining eighteen Silver Stars consecutively, and now his Star Technique System is fully constructed, and his combat is systematic. The possibility of getting a Gold Star is also very high!"

"Besides, Xu Zheng of Dachu and Wu Yuandao of Dahong are possibilities as well, all of whom are supreme talents that have previously obtained more than ten Silver Stars.

Of course, there could also be newly risen supreme geniuses.

But the known winners of Gold Stars are usually those who reached the Ninth Layer Peak of Refining Star, or with a systematic combat power above the Sixth Layer of Star Condensation.

If we wish to expand our search, we could target individuals within this range of Cultivation Levels for a thorough screening!" said Chief Peng.

"Do we in Dachen have no chance of obtaining a Gold Star?" Cheng Yuexiao asked with a wry smile.

To this, Chief Peng did not shy away, but directly said, "Cui Jing has already entered the Gathering Battle, his chance of picking a Silver Star is slim, let alone a Gold Star.

Wang Rusong’s current Cultivation Level is at the Seventh-star Condensation, there’s a possibility.

But based on his past strength, the hope is very faint.

His few Silver Stars were all obtained with great difficulty."

As he said this, Chief Peng’s tone shifted, suddenly saying, "Palace Master needn’t worry. Give it another year or two, and Xu Jin has a very high possibility of picking a Gold Star!

I’ve observed that if the eight new Silver Stars are indeed picked by Xu Jin, then his speed of picking Silver Stars is very quick.

About ten breaths.

This speed suggests he picks Silver Stars with ease.

Thus, his potential to pick a Gold Star in the future is high."

"That is true."

National Master Cheng Yuexiao nodded, this was fundamentally why he held great expectations for Xu Jin, bestowing upon him various top awards.

Even he, in his fastest record of picking Silver Stars, took a full fifteen breaths of time.
