Of course, it’s not that True Monarch Tianzhang and their team are foolish.
It’s just that there’s no better solution.
There are certainly Secret Techniques for Soul Search.
Soul Search causes damage to the Divine Soul, and it’s not insignificant.
The people on Dongxuan Island right now are all elite, and the Viscounts are the future of the Dongxuan Star Realm.
Moreover, the Tenth Rank Star Monarchs and Ninth Tier elites here have plex relationships within the Dongxuan Star Realm. To say we would search them all, it would be like killing one hundred enemies at the cost of a thousand of our own. If True Monarch Tianzhang were to do this, his Dongxuan Order would explode in just a few moments.
This is the only way to conduct the investigation.
Xu Jin’s Warm Dream Star Pattern is indeed an interrogation Divine Artifact, but Xu Jin doesn’t dare to make a spectacle of it right now.
The Warm Dream Star Pattern is too sharp; once pulled into the dream, you can find out anything you want to know, including any private secrets.
Not to mention, countless people would covet Xu Jin’s Warm Dream Star Pattern. By then, those conspirators, especially those in high positions with secrets, would immediately find ways to deal with Xu Jin.
That would truly be a disaster.
It’s best to use it quietly on oneself.
Even earlier, when it spread in the Kunling Domain, the Warm Dream Star Pattern’s transmission was extremely cautious.
Every recipient had to make a Divine Soul Oath or even a Great Dao Oath.
After observing for a while, Xu Jin began to seize the opportunity for enlightenment and diligent cultivation, while also using Star Power to repair the cracks on the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.
This was the most severe damage the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower had ever suffered.
Previously, it might have developed three to five, or even dozens of cracks, and would recover in just a day or two.
But this time, the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower had thousands of cracks all over, including some visible internally.
Ordinarily, for a Suppression Artifact to sustain such damage, it would probably take a month or two to recover.
But here with Xu Jin, it took just four days to recover.
It’s not that Xu Jin’s recovery abilities are extraordinary, but rather the Chaotic Star Gang’s speed in recovering from the inside out was beyond Xu Jin’s expectations, though it consumed a significant amount of Chaotic Star Gang.
However, on this island, the Chaotic Star Gang seemed inexhaustible.
True Monarch Tianzhang’s lockdown and search continued for five days and concluded after those five days.
"Everyone, we have preliminarily investigated the chaos in the Island Secret Realm, and further investigations will follow! If you discover any abnormal clues, you can report them individually at the earliest opportunity, and the Dao Palace will surely reward you handsomely."
True Monarch Tianzhang’s voice echoed over the entire island, "In this brave defense of Dongxuan Island, no one among you retreated. After the war merits have been submitted for review, they will be credited to your Dongxuan Order and reported to the Tongxuan Imperial Palace for archival!"
As soon as he said this, a cheer erupted from a group of elite cultivators.
War merits reported to the Tongxuan Imperial Palace hold even greater value and could potentially lead to rewards from the Tongxuan Imperial Palace in the future.
"Additionally, for your cooperation in the investigation over the past few days, there will be an extra pensation of three days of enlightenment time in the Island Secret Realm. I hope you all gain something from it."
After making these statements, True Monarch Tianzhang glanced in Xu Jin’s direction, gave a slight nod as their gazes met, and led the team into the Teleportation Array.
However, Princess Zhu Linxiao transformed into a streak of Starlight and flew over. In front of everyone, she gave Xu Jin a solid hug and then stepped back slightly to softly say, "I still have official duties to tend to, husband, continue your cultivation here. Remember to inform me when you’re returning home, I’ll host a banquet to celebrate your war merits!"
After saying this, she didn’t rush to leave and only after getting Xu Jin’s permission, did she bid farewell with a bow and flew towards the Teleportation Array.
From all directions, gazes of envy seemed ready to swallow Xu Jin whole!
It is rare to find someone both beautiful and gentle, and even rarer that someone of noble status presents herself so sensibly in front of Xu Jin, even adopting a humble attitude.
To marry such a woman, one would be willing to lose ten years of their life.
The brilliance of the Starlight Array rose, and after True Monarch Tianzhang and his team departed, the Starlight flickered, and Star Monarch Su Shize appeared in front of Xu Jin, prompting Xu Jin to quickly rise, "Big brother."
"Worthy brother, there’s no need for formalities."
"Big brother, is the investigation over now, was there a result?" Xu Jin asked.
Upon hearing this, Su Shize smiled slightly, "Does my worthy brother think nothing was discovered?"
Xu Jin’s gaze shifted, he laughed, "Big brother, I’ve looked into it, and it does seem like no results were found, but there’s nothing that can be done about that. We can’t possibly Soul Search everyone, can we?"
"It seems my worthy brother is quite attentive to various extraordinary methods, but lacks understanding of those most ordinary investigative techniques."
Hearing this, Xu Jin was quite surprised, "Ordinary investigative techniques? Big brother, does this mean the investigation yielded results?"
"Worthy brother, this is actually a mon problem among us cultivators. The higher our Cultivation Level, the more we ignore those ordinary traces!
For example, motivations, timing, traces, identity background, family origin, and so on.
These are the fundamental guidelines for anyone’s actions.
No matter how strong the extraordinary methods are, they can’t conceal this information.
As you said, by reaching the Ninth Tier or Tenth Rank, it’s impossible to Soul Search everyone for every matter, but these basic investigative techniques have now bee Divine Skills!
Mr. Zhu had such investigative experts under his mand. Over the five-day investigation, although they did not find the mastermind, they have some findings." Su Shize said.
"Big brother, may I listen?" Xu Jin asked.
"Why wouldn’t you be able to listen! What I know, my worthy brother can naturally know!
Those investigative experts traced various clues for half the day and discovered this matter relates to my worthy brother." Su Shize said.
