Chapter 473: Chapter 205: Prologue
After obtaining the Suru Star Pattern and the Controlling Objects Star Pattern from the National Master, Xu Jin did not leave imdiately but engaged in conversation with National Master Cheng Yuxiao again, as there were still many issues that needed to be clarified through communication.
In his previous life, whether it was the years he spent in school or working in the workplace, Xu Jin had learned a very important thing—communication is crucial.
Many things, if communicated in ti and early, are much easier to handle than trying to resolve them after problems arise.
But often, due to various considerations, problems tend to arise precisely because communication was not effective.
“National Master, I would like to know, for my next Gold Star high-tier Tao Derivation, which direction should I take? Should I continue with the Fire Origin Star Pattern, or switch to a different Star Pattern?” This was the first question Xu Jin needed to answer at this ti.
Continuing with the current one was fine, but if he decided to switch directions, then Xu Jin needed to start preparing as soon as possible.
“In theory, it is certainly better to continue. However, Gold Star’s high-tier Tao Derivation is not omnipotent.
Currently, on the path of high-tier Fire Origin Star Patterns, the National Daoist Institute can no longer provide any help to you. But if you directly use another Gold Star to derive the high-tier Fire Origin, the possibility of failure is quite high.
Even without failure, the gains would relatively be less significant.
My personal suggestion is that in the future, you must reserve a Gold Star for the high-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern, but that’s in the future. For the next half-year to a year, you need to be fully familiar with the characteristics of your Seventh Tier Lower high-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern.
If you have any insights during its use, then using Gold Star high-tier Tao Derivation later would yield twice the result with half the effort.
After all, the most important point in using and deriving Seventh Tier Star Patterns is to connect with the energy of Heaven and Earth.
Including what you observe and think during the high-tier derivation process, even if it’s not used, you can still study and derive it yourself, since you’ve already experienced it once.
Maybe you won’t need to use a Gold Star to advance your Seventh Tier Lower high-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern further,” said Cheng Yuxiao.
Upon hearing this from the National Master, Xu Jin suddenly saw the light.
Many future directions beca clear.
Indeed, in the recent process of high-tier derivation, many insights had not been used, but that did not an they would be useless in the future.
“As for the direction of your next Gold Star high-tier Tao Derivation, it depends on your personal cultivation path. My thought is not to rush. Once you have decided and prepared the foundation, then proceed with the high-tier Tao Derivation,” Cheng Yuxiao advised.
As Xu Jin nodded in agreent, he asked, “National Master, actually I would like to know, in which direction should the next Gold Star be used to enhance your strength?”
Cheng Yuxiao looked surprised, then laughed, “Enhance my strength, why would you think that?”
“National Master, you are now my main support. The stronger you are, the more secure I feel.”
Xu Jin spoke candidly, and the National Master laughed heartily.
Xu Jin’s consideration had already pleased him greatly.
So far, Xu Jin’s all-around performance had satisfied him: personal character, gratitude, holding onto old ties, and in terms of vision, he had a broad view and could see through the essence of certain matters.
Just as Xu Jin said, at this stage, Xu Jin was deeply tied to the Da Chen National Daoist School, especially with Cheng Yuxiao.
The mark or label was incredibly profound.
If Xu Jin suffered, the National Master might not necessarily suffer, but if the National Master suffered, Xu Jin would definitely be affected.
“My main Star Power series consist of the Gold, Wind, and Earth, but now I can also cultivate the Fire series a bit; having the support of the Seventh Tier Lower high-tier star patterns is quite a trump card. And the Three Series Star Power that I cultivate, if you want to cultivate them, you’ll have to break through to the Fourth Tier Star Condensing Realm to possibly cultivate one or two series concurrently.
At this stage, if you want to use Gold Star’s high-tier Tao Derivation to directly enhance my Combat Power, you have three options.
First is the Spiral Star Pattern; if you can derive it to the Seventh Tier, my Combat Power can increase by at least one-tenth.
Second is the Swimming Fish Star Pattern; this Star Pattern has very strong defensive power and is not afraid of being outnumbered. If deriving it to Seventh Tier and above, my Combat Power could increase by one-tenth or even more.”
At this point, National Master Cheng Yuxiao paused for a mont, “The third option would be one of the two Star Patterns within the Divine Soul Star Pattern: the Breaking Evil or the Warm Dream or Suppressing Intent. But the difficulty of deriving the Divine Soul Star Pattern is extrely high, even with Gold Star’s high-tier Tao Derivation, without relevant experience and foundation, the probability of failure is also very high.”
“It’s a pity… If Lingji Star Hall were still…” Cheng Yuxiao stopped mid-sentence.
Xu Jin took note while suddenly asking, “National Master, I understand that deriving the Breaking Evil Star Pattern, which is a Divine Soul attack Star Pattern, can enhance the power of Divine Soul attacks. But for deriving the Warm Dream Star Pattern, from what I know of its power at the mont, I feel it doesn’t actually improve Combat Power.”
“That’s a good question,” responded National Master Cheng Yuxiao with a smile. “Breaking Evil Star Pattern is a very typical attack-oriented Divine Soul Star Pattern. Each Star Hall and the National Taoist Institute have it; the difference lies in the stage of derivation. It is said that before Lingji Star Hall was sealed, it had derived to the Sixth Tier Upper but had not gone on to the Seventh Tier.
The fundantal reason is that the power is very singular.
For example, it’s like using a hamr to hit you. Deriving it is like continuously upgrading the hamr, making it stronger, to increase the damage inflicted when you are hit.
But what if it fails to hit?
The higher the Cultivation Level, the sharper the Divine Soul’s sensitivity, and the higher the possibility to dodge.
If it can’t hit, it’s useless.”
