Chapter 675: Chapter 274: Lips Wane, Teeth Shiver (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2

"Picking a Gold Star is a good thing, a good thing for our entire present-day Human Race."

Suddenly, the Cangming Star Lord spoke, "State Preceptor Cheng, I am just very curious and want to know if these six Gold Stars picked by Xu Jin have been used up?"

"Of course not all of them have been used up."

Cheng Yuxiao gladly admitted, prompting those present to nod in agreement. That was the expected response.

To deduce a seventh-tier middle Fire Origin Star Pattern does not require six Gold Stars, otherwise, it would be like fooling a ghost.

"State Preceptor Cheng, then how many Gold Stars does Xu Jin still have in his possession?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuxiao sighed, "It’s also because I was eager to liquidate the Gold Stars. Otherwise, if I waited for Xu Jin to fully grow up and study the Fire Series Star Pattern system before deducing, then the utilization effect of the Gold Stars would be the greatest and best.

But I don’t have that time.

So I let him use them directly.

It took a whole five Gold Stars for this young man to deduce the Fire Origin Star Pattern to seventh-tier middle.

It also adds another direction for many of our Dachen’s sixth-tier experts to advance and breakthrough.

Currently, there is only one left."

Cheng Yuxiao said this, and those present exchanged glances, verifying the information against what they had obtained.

The Tianyang Star Lord also basically concluded that the Great Sage Equalling Heaven from the third-tier Martial Arts Secret Realm was indeed Xu Jin.

Looking at it this way, these six Gold Stars have indeed been used.

But to completely trust Cheng Yuxiao’s words would be foolish.

But according to the information, Xu Jin just succeeded in Star Pointing this August, and until now, he has only been cultivating for three to four months.

Cultivation Level can be rapidly improved with Pills, but researching Star Patterns, which is both tedious and difficult, cannot be done quickly.

So, with Xu Jin’s standard, it is absolutely impossible for him to deduce the sixth-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern from the National Taoist Institute to seventh-tier middle with just one or two Gold Stars. The likelihood is greatest with three or four.

Five is absolutely impossible.

This old fox, Cheng Yuxiao, must be hiding something.

There should still be one or two Gold Stars left on this Xu Jin.

The threat isn’t too big.

But if these two Gold Stars are left for a decade or so, until Xu Jin has grown up and accumulated experience, then the seventh-tier middle Fire Origin Star Pattern from the Da Chen National Daoist Institute could potentially become seventh-tier upper or even eighth-tier lower.

In an instant, the Tianyang Star Lord made a decision: Xu Jin must not be left alive!

The addition of a seventh-tier Fire Origin in Dachen isn’t too big of a deal, but a new eighth-tier Fire Origin is a big problem.

That means that Dachen could have eighth-tier experts in the Fire Series.

Some action must be taken.

And furthermore, Bright Star!

Has this Xu Jin obtained the Bright Star or not?

If not, let it be.

But if he has, then...

Suddenly, similar thoughts were shared by the Cangming Star Lord, the Doom-suppressing Star Lord, Emperor Dahong, and the Dachu Emperor.

Cheng Yuxiao glanced over everyone, also secretly relieved.

The reason he admitted this matter today was for one purpose: to divert pressure from Xu Jin.

He wanted to spread the news that Xu Jin had already used up most of the six Gold Stars.

Of course, Cheng Yuxiao never hoped that the people from the Star Halls would give up on targeting Xu Jin because of this news.

Impossible!

But because of this news, at least Tianyang and Cangming Star Halls won’t be too eager to make a move on Xu Jin!

They won’t spare any cost.

Even shamelessly sending out a seventh-tier expert.

Cheng Yuxiao was just trading honesty for time.

To gain time for Xu Jin’s rapid growth.

As long as Xu Jin grows quickly and his strength improves, he will be able to filter out most risks.

"Okay, let’s not talk about trivial matters. Everyone here is busy, so let’s look at the rankings."

The Doom-suppressing Star Lord suddenly spoke up, "Star Spirit, announce the rankings please."

"Immediately."

The next moment, within the Galaxy Commander Mansion Secret Realm, starlight rapidly flashed, and four lines of text quickly emerged.

The moment they appeared, the faces of the Tianyang Star Lord, Cangming Star Lord, Emperor Dahong, and the Dachu Emperor changed instantly.

[First Place, Dachen Empire, 39560 points]

[Second Place, Dahong Empire, 19335 points]

[Third Place, Dachu Empire, 17786 points]

[Fourth Place, Doom-suppressing Star Palace, 16996 points]

It’s doubled!

Although Dachen Empire’s points were high before, they had not exceeded Dahong Empire by double, but now they had.

Dachen’s points had already surpassed Dahong by more than double.

This caused the Tianyang Star Lord and Emperor Dahong’s faces to become extraordinarily ugly in an instant.

This signifies that Dahong will have to pay one-tenth of the tribute to Dachen.

According to the ranking, Dachen originally had to pay one and a half percent, but now it has become one percent, while Dahong, which was originally second, only needed to pay two percent, and now it has directly become two and a half percent.

Compared to the tribute they paid last year to Star-picking Tower, it has directly doubled.

And the loss of face!

Although the Star Lords of Cangming and the Emperors of Dachu and Doom-suppressing were surprised by the rapid increase in Dachen’s points,

it was just surprise.

More than anything, they were just onlookers.

Because this heavy blow did not fall on them.

With one and a half days left until the end of the Lougong Battle, it’s still quite difficult for first-place Dachen to double their score against them.

A few moments later, the visibly upset Tianyang Star Lord looked towards Cheng Yuxiao.

"It seems that the unparalleled genius Xu Jin of Dachen is exceedingly powerful. At the Third Rank Ninth Layer Peak, he can cut through a Fourth-tier Star Domain, impressive!"

With that remark, Tianyang Star Lord left with a fling of his sleeves.

But the words that Tianyang Star Lord left behind made both the Star Lords of Cangming and Doom-suppressing fall into contemplation.

If one really could cut through a Fourth-tier Star Domain with cultivation at the Third Rank Ninth Layer Peak, then Xu Jin would not just be an unparalleled genius, he would be a monstrous genius!

If such a monstrous genius were to grow,

Cheng Yuxiao’s face froze in a moment!

How could Tianyang Star Lord know that Xu Jin had cut through a Fourth-tier Star Domain?

This news was known by only a few within Dachen.

How could it have leaked out?

The next instant, Cheng Yuxiao suddenly thought of a possibility.

He left the secret realm of the Galaxy Commander Mansion in a flash, appeared on the second floor of the Star Tower, and greeted Dai Guanwen of Sumeru Palace.

After a few perfunctory words,

Cheng Yuxiao returned to Pill Dawn Palace.

His face had become extremely unsightly.

If the matter of Xu Jin cutting through a Fourth-tier Star Domain truly had the possibility of leakage, then the direction of the leak could only be Dai Guanwen, the Fourth Young Master of Sumeru Palace!

"This Dai Guanwen deserves to die!" Inside Pill Dawn Palace, Cheng Yuxiao was gloomy-faced.

Yet, Meng Yanhui, the Left Libationer, managed a bitter smile, "State Preceptor, we can’t move against the people of Sumeru Palace right now! Not only can’t we move against the people of Sumeru Palace, State Preceptor, I need to remind you that we should have Xu Jin control the points."

"Control the points?" Cheng Yuxiao frowned.

"State Preceptor, our Dachen has risen too quickly and by too great a margin this time, leaping straight from fourth to first.

And at present, our points have already exceeded Dahong by more than double.

In such a scenario, there’s no problem if we only seriously offend Tianyang Star Hall.

But if our points continue to explode and exceed the points of both Cangming Star Hall and Doom-suppressing Star Hall by double,

then it would be troublesome.

By the rules, those three would each bear half a percent of Dachen’s tribute, and the result is that Dachen would not have to pay even a bit for the next three years.

From the outcome, it looks very good!

But State Preceptor, have you considered the possibility of those three joining hands to flip the table?" Meng Yanhui said.

As soon as these words were uttered, Cheng Yuxiao’s face changed instantly.

He paced back and forth in the Pill Dawn Hall with his hands behind his back.

His expression grew more and more serious.

If it were true that the interests of all three were greatly damaged, they might indeed join forces.

Because the division of the tribute for Star-picking Tower can’t be changed.

The total amount is also not going to change.

If Dachen did not bear any burden, but these three could indeed join forces in a fit of pique and occupy Dachen at any cost,

and then plunder from the occupied territories,

wouldn’t it mean that Dachen, in a way, paid the tribute again?

That possibility truly exists!

If the three were to join forces, then... ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Yanhui, you are seasoned and savvy in national affairs. I’ve been too smooth sailing lately and nearly made a misstep. Indeed, we need to control the points to buy Dachen some time," Cheng Yuxiao was covered in cold sweat.

Upon further reflection, he found that Dachen was at a crucial juncture of life or death.

"State Preceptor, not only must we control the points, but we also have to ally with Doom-suppressing Star Hall as soon as possible! State Preceptor, should I make a trip to Doom-suppressing Star Hall?" Meng Yanhui volunteered.

"What are you planning to say?"

"Nothing but ’If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,’" Meng Yanhui said with a smile.

"Good!"

Cheng Yuxiao immediately nodded in agreement, "Additionally, you can decide for yourself to offer some advantages to Doom-suppressing Star Hall, enhance trade, and trade the pills and emblems they urgently need, as well as food."

"Yes. I will prepare now and set off later."

*****

Inside the main hall of Tianyang Star Hall, Tianyang Star Lord, having returned, was sullen and unhappy, vexed by the fact that Dachen’s points had surpassed his by more than double.

Suddenly, the Great Elder Wang Kan hurried over, smiling and bowing, "Your Highness Star Lord, good news, I have just received some excellent news."

Upon hearing this, Tianyang Star Lord couldn’t help but look over.
