64: Chapter 60 Martial Arts Secret Realm 64: Chapter 60 Martial Arts Secret Realm The mont the Star-picking Order flashed, Xu Jin felt a blur before his eyes, or perhaps a sinking in his mind.
Suddenly, he entered a spacious hall.
In the vacant hall, a seemingly real Xu Jin was looking around.
With a thought, Xu Jin suddenly exited the hall and found himself back in the small courtyard he had just acquired, the special Star Artifact, Star-picking Order, faintly flickering with starlight in the palm of his hand.
Xu Jin quickly realized that the thod of entering the Star-picking Order was similar to that of his Candou Platform.
It seed that both involved the consciousness entering.
However, the Foreign Affairs Hall had said one needs to be at the Sixth Layer of the Dining Dawn Realm to enter.
They told him to co back when he reached the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn Realm.
Yet Xu Jin could already enter directly.
He thought about it for a mont and felt it had sothing to do with the Clearing Soul Star Pattern.
Not caring further, Xu Jin entered again.
This ti, Xu Jin was much calr as he scrutinized the grand hall.
It seed the hall was just a ground floor.
In the very middle, facing forward, there was a spiraling staircase.
Xu Jin approached, wanting to step onto it, but the foot he raised couldn’t fall back down.
He couldn’t get in.
Aside from this staircase, Xu Jin discovered many shimring vortexes of light around the periter of the hall, resembling doors.
Xu Jin walked towards the nearest vortex of light.
As he got closer, words appeared above the swirling light.
[Tianyang Star Hall]
Tianyang Star Hall?
Xu Jin hesitated for a mont, then gently touched it with his hand but found he couldn’t push through.
At the sa ti, a voice appeared directly in Xu Jin’s mind.
[Please proceed to any Foreign Affairs Hall of Tianyang Star Hall to obtain the access identity to Tianyang Star Hall, and then try to enter again.]
Xu Jin understood; there was an identity verification process.
He tried another Light Gate: Cangming Star Hall.
The sa thing, unable to enter.
He tried another door, and nas like Doom-suppressing Star Palace, Lingji Star Hall appeared, which Xu Jin had never heard of before.
He couldn’t enter those either.
He tried yet another door, Dachu National Daoist School, no entry; another change, Dahong National Daoist School, still no entry.
Suddenly, the fourth Light Gate on the right showed Da Chen National Daoist School.
Xu Jin was delighted, thinking he had found his belonging.
He wanted to push the door and enter, but he was also blocked.
[Please proceed to any Foreign Affairs Bureau of Da Chen National Daoist School to obtain the access identity to Da Chen National Daoist School, and then try to enter again.]
Xu Jin was puzzled.
Why couldn’t he even enter his own Da Chen?
But then he realized why.
No wonder the Master in charge of Foreign Affairs Bureau at Jinshan Daoist Institute told him to co back after reaching the Sixth Layer of the Dining Dawn Realm.
It must be for this reason.
So, this activation of Star-picking Order was a lonely affair, he could enter, but go nowhere.
Feeling sowhat helpless, Xu Jin continued to try.
The Light Gates he had tried earlier were to the left and right of the front staircase.
Xu Jin discovered that there were also fewer Light Gates on the backside.
He pushed the first Light Gate facing him, and surprisingly he managed to push it open.
To say he pushed it open actually ant that Xu Jin himself walked through it.
The mont he walked through, he saw an ornantal board hanging in front of him.
[Ten Thousand Stars Hall]
The mont he stepped in, a voice quickly rang in Xu Jin’s mind.
[Please determine your Star na before proceeding to purchase items.
As a Master, you are currently at the First-tier of Dining Dawn Realm and can only trade in the First-tier hall.]
Master should refer to himself, a Star na?
Xu Jin looked at himself, and a line of information appeared instantly: [Initial Star na is free of cost.
If modified later, it costs ten thousand threads of Starlight, and can only be changed once every ten years.]
Seeing this ssage, Xu Jin cursed inwardly.
Changing the Star na once cost ten thousand threads of Starlight, which was not just robbery but a whole move.
Going by what he had learned before, a single thread of Starlight was worth at least one hundred taels of Silver, so the price was frightening…
After so thought, Xu Jin originally wanted to add his own na.
But then he thought, since they were asking for a Star na—essentially an ID tag—they surely wouldn’t use his real na.
So what should he choose?
Many bizarre nas from his previous life were automatically passed over by Xu Jin, for fear of choosing sothing too outrageous and getting killed for it.
He considered going with the na Great Sage Equalling Heaven and was done with it.
On second thought, wasn’t the Great Sage Equalling Heaven suppressed?
That’s unlucky.
The Buddha?
Nevermind, let’s stick with Great Sage Equalling Heaven.
Even if he was suppressed, Xu Jin still liked the Great Sage Equalling Heaven better; at least it was cooler, and the Buddha was too fat.
[Great Sage Equalling Heaven]
His thoughts settled, and in an instant, Xu Jin felt a sensation.
Observing himself with his mind, information would appear.
[Star Master: Great Sage Equalling Heaven]
[Cultivation Level: First Tier Dining Dawn Realm]
[Order Tier: One-Star]
[Starlight: One Hundred Strands]
The information was simple, yet Xu Jin felt sowhat excited.
Because this scene sowhat resembled the feeling of the internet from his previous life, letting Xu Jin feel that this world might not be so primitive after all.
Xu Jin didn’t understand it now, he was just too low-level to know much.
Having set his na as the Star Points, Xu Jin found that the hall was now filled with many shelf-like tags.
[First-tier Star Skills: Star Shield, Star Radiance, Star Arrow, Star Ring, Starlight Shield, Star Rope, Star Blaze, Flying Star Step]
There were only eight first-tier Star Skills, three of which Xu Jin hadn’t learned.
When Xu Jin clicked on them, detailed information imdiately displayed.
[Star Rope: Basic Star Skill, priced at 10 strands of Starlight, received imdiately upon purchase]
Star Blaze and Flying Star Step were the sa.
Not expensive.
Xu Jin could afford them, and in a flash, he felt the impulse to buy one and start cultivating.
Basic Star Skills, aren’t they fundantal?
They must be learned.
But just as he was about to confirm his purchase, Xu Jin stopped his own hand.
Basic Star Skills…
the Jinshan Taoist Institute had no reason not to teach them, right?
Why spend Starlight to buy them?
Wouldn’t that be a waste?
He looked further.
Aside from Star Skills, there weren’t many items for sale in this first-tier hall, just Pills and Star Weapons.
A first-tier Star Weapon was priced at twenty strands of Starlight, and a bottle of Rejuvenation Pill was three strands of Starlight, which was roughly the sa as prices outside.
But obviously, Silver could not be exchanged for Starlight, so using Starlight in the Star-picking Tower to buy Pills would be foolish.
Suddenly, Xu Jin saw the ntal-locking Golden Pill that Ning Yuchan ntioned as a reward for the first disciple to successfully engrave the Great Gathering Star Pattern.
[ntal-locking Golden Pill: Can purify the Divine Soul, slightly enhancing Divine Soul Power, helpful in Star Casting, priced at one hundred strands of Starlight, (Out of Stock)]
It wasn’t cheap and was out of stock; the Ten Thousand Stars Hall of this Star-picking Tower wasn’t that impressive.
At the last counter, Xu Jin saw the word ‘reclaim.’
The reclaiming price was very much a rip-off.
The selling price for a Rejuvenation Pill here was two strands of Starlight per bottle.
However, the reclaim price was ten Rejuvenation Pills for one strand of Starlight.
Ti to bail!
Xu Jin left the Ten Thousand Stars Hall and turned towards another Light Gate beside it.
Upon pushing, another prompt appeared, [Would you like to enter the Martial Arts Secret Realm?]
[Entering the Martial Arts Secret Realm consus Starlight]
[Star Master Great Sage Equalling Heaven, being of the First Tier Dining Dawn Realm, will consu one strand of Starlight per entry, with up to ten battles supported]
Martial learning?
Battles?
Only one strand of Starlight?
Xu Jin, possessing one hundred strands of Starlight, stepped through the door without hesitation.
His thoughts trembled slightly, and he noticed that one strand of his Starlight had been deducted.
At that very mont, a vast space shimring with thousands upon thousands of points of Starlight appeared before Xu Jin, and rows of information surfaced.
[First Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm: Only those in the First Tier Dining Dawn Realm may enter, with a cultivation limit of Peak of Seventh Layer of the Dining Dawn Realm.
Those who break through shall automatically advance into the Second-tier Martial Arts Secret Realm.]
[Please Select a Weapon: All weapons are consistent, being of First-tier Star Weapon quality, differing only in style]
After a mont’s thought, he chose a long saber; currently, that was the weapon he used most and was most familiar with.
In the next instant, a long saber appeared in Xu Jin’s hand.
[Would you like to challenge other Star Masters?]
Xu Jin hesitated.
Thinking about it, he asked, “Will one die upon defeat?
Are there any penalties?”
[No penalties for defeat!
Even if one dies in the Martial Arts Secret Realm, resurrection occurs on the spot, only deducting from the number of battle attempts, current battle attempts: 10.]
[Note: Suffering repeated deaths three tis or more will significantly drain Divine Soul Power, so please proceed according to your capabilities.]
Having already spent the Starlight and with nothing to lose, why not give it a try?
[Challenge]
Almost the mont Xu Jin made his selection, one out of the million stars in front of him suddenly brightened and fell toward Xu Jin like a teor!
