Chapter 1195: You Get An Advancement, You Get An Advancement, Everyone Gets An Advancement!

What Shang Xia didn’t know was that Yin Jingxu actually had such an in-depth understanding of the way he cultivated.

Actually, the Heavenly Star Palace wasn’t the only one keeping tabs on his cultivation process. Any respectable power in the Spirit Luxuriant World had been gathering intelligence on Shang Xia’s cultivation.

Naturally, he wasn’t the only one whose cultivation path had been looked into. It was true that his path of cultivation showed breathtaking results, but gathering information on every high-level expert was something all the powers of the Spirit Luxuriant World would do.

Even the Tongyou Institution would keep tabs on outstanding cultivators of other factions, and it was a practice that wasn’t lost in other worlds.

It was just that Shang Xia’s performance was just too outstanding, and even supreme geniuses like Kou Chongxue were eclipsed by his magnificence.

Also... Shang Xia didn’t expect that he would emerge from seclusion when Yuan Qiuyuan was about to break through to the Martial Extermination Realm. During the process, Yuan Qiuyuan drew over a stream of starlight to try to condense an extermination origin.

When Shang Xia was preparing to enter seclusion 3 years ago, he noticed that Yuan Qiuyuan had already reached the peak of the Martial Intent Realm. He even intentionally instructed Xin Lu to assist in Yuan Qiuyuan’s breakthrough instead of helping Kou Chongxue.

He didn’t think that the process would drag on for 3 years!

What surprised him even more was that Yuan Qiuyuan chose to refine all 4 extermination origins simultaneously like what he had done previously.

Of course, the extermination origins Yuan Qiuyuan was planning to refine weren’t related to the seasons. Instead, it was 4 types of Star Extermination Origin.

Originally, Yan Ming and Xin Lu estimated that even with their help, Yuan Qiuyuan might not be able to condense 4 extermination origins from the starlight he could draw over from the vast sea of stars. There would be a lot of luck involved if he could truly accomplish his goal, and during the critical moment, they would even need Yan Ming, a Martial Dipper Realm expert, to head out of the heavenly screen to assist in the process of condensing the extermination origins.

Even if Yuan Qiuyuan managed to succeed this time, he would still need to continue drawing the power of starlight in order to improve and reach the large completion stage of the Martial Extermination Realm.

Thankfully, he seemed to have lucked out. When he was attempting this breakthrough, Shang Xia emerged from seclusion. With his familiarity with the power of the stars, he easily assisted Yuan Qiuyuan in condensing the extermination origins he required.

Even though Shang Xia was no Stargazer and was unable to draw the power of starlight to their world, Yuan Qiuyuan and the others already did all the heavy lifting. All Shang Xia had to do was to condense the energy that was lingering around into pure Star Extermination Origins.

It was then that Xin Lu and Yan Ming also joined in the process. Since they didn’t need to worry about the extermination origins, they could focus on drawing starlight from the sea of stars. As brilliant rays were drawn over to the You Continent, Yuan Qiuyuan had more than enough energy to complete the advancement. In fact, there was so much energy that he would be able to quickly progress after his breakthrough and save a lot of time.

Other than that, Shang Xia also condensed 5 or 6 other extermination origins from the starlight that was drawn over. There were even 2 or 3 strands of fate dipper essences among them which he threw into the pool of Star Essence Liquid under the Starry Tree.

...

When everything finally calmed down and more time had passed, Shang Xia appeared above the Star Observatory. He discovered that his actions benefited far more people than he had thought.

Xin Lu’s aura was a little unsteady as she stood on the Star Observatory, and he could see that she managed to step through the gates of the fourth layer of the Marital Extermination Realm.

Clearly, she managed to choose from the excess extermination origins Shang Xia condensed to supplement her cultivation.

Yan Ming didn’t walk away empty-handed either.

Because of the influence of the Stargazer inheritance, she planned to refine a Star Origin Dipper as her second fate dipper.

With Xin Lu’s suggestion and help, Yan Ming discovered a suitable Origin Dipper she could refine, but she had to gather enough fate dipper essence for it. She learned about it several years ago and Yan Ming had been trying to gather the fate dipper essence she required through all sorts of methods. She managed to gather 7 strands of fate dipper essence required.

With Shang Xia making a move during Yuan Qiuyuan’s breakthrough, the fate dipper essences produced that were thrown into the pool of Star Essence Liquid were exactly what she required, and she managed to produce a suitable Origin Dipper because of it. Just like that, she managed to enter the second element of the Martial Dipper Realm.

With her strong accumulations along with her refinement of her second fate dipper being related to the stars, it might not take long for the Tongyou Institution to welcome their third Stargazer.

As for the second Stargazer of the Tongyou Institution... There was no question about it. Yuan Qiuyuan reached the level right after he broke through.

Now that he arrived, Shang Xia didn’t hide his presence and headed down to greet them.

“Junior Sister Yan, Lady Xin, congratulations!” Shang Xia chuckled while cupping his fists in their direction.

As for Yuan Qiuyuan... he had already entered a secret chamber in the Star Observatory to consolidate his foundations and was nowhere to be seen.

They created such a huge commotion because of Yuan Qiuyuan’s breakthrough. Xin Lu and Yan Ming’s improvements were merely happy accidents that happened along the way.

Seeing as Shang Xia had arrived and was congratulating them, they quickly cupped their fists respectfully in response.

Be it because of her cultivation level or her position in the institution, Yan Ming was already part of the core members in the upper echelons of the Tongyou Institution, responsible for a part of their operations. She knew the reason behind Shang Xia entering seclusion 3 years ago.

Seeing that he had emerged, she gasped with excitement, “Brother Shang, did you manage to achieve your goal?”

Roaring with candid laughter, Shang Xia didn’t plan to hide his achievements from them. “Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint myself. Now, at least I can consider myself a high-level True Immortal!”

Yan Ming felt happy for him, but she couldn’t help but sigh with melancholy, “Brother Shang, I recall how I was still hunting you down in the Battlefield Between the Two Worlds back then... Barely 30 years have passed, but the distance between us has grown to such an exaggerated state...”

Xin Lu might not have said anything, but the gaze she was looking at Shang Xia with was filled with endless shock. She was a Stargazer in Star Origin City, and she was knowledgeable with vast experience. She knew the difference between a third tier True Immortal and a fourth tier True Immortal. She also knew what implications a high-level True Immortal represented!

It also seemed as though Shang Xia didn’t head over to the Star Observatory to congratulate them.

She saw how he pulled out a cape-like treasure covered in starlight from his Spatial Pouch, and the moment it appeared, she could see faint flickering stars on its surface.

“Is this... Is this a Star Robe?” Xin Lu gasped. As a Stargazer of the Star Origin City and with her close relationship to Xing Xingtian, she was no stranger to the Star Robes of the Star Origin Guards.

The only thing that surprised her at the moment was how Shang Xia actually had one!

One had to know that from the time the Star Origin Guards had been established, they had never lost a set of Star Robes.

However... Xin Lu’s shock was only just beginning.

Shang Xia chuckled when he heard her gasping earlier. “Yeah. This is a Star Robe, but it’s no ordinary Star Robe. It’s the Star Origin Lord Robe Zhuge Xiang wore back then!”

Xin Lu’s eyes widened and the words she was about to utter got stuck in her throat.

Perhaps because Yan Ming’s cultivation was a little higher, and the fact that she didn’t know the implications of the Star Origin Lord Robe, she managed to regain her composure after being shocked for a moment. She asked, “What can you use it for? Is this set of Star Robe a lot more different than ordinary ones?”

Shang Xia nodded in response. “The Star Origin Lord Robe definitely has some other uses, but the most important thing now is...”

Pausing slightly, Shang Xia twisted the robe and revealed a tear in it that was created back during the battle some time ago before he continued, “... We need to think of a way to restore the Star Origin Lord Robe!”

Yan Ming stared at Shang Xia like he was crazy. No matter how she looked at it, the Star Origin Lord Robe was no ordinary treasure. How the hell were they supposed to look for treasures to restore it?

Xin Lu finally snapped out of her dazed state and she frowned. “True Immortal Shang, do you need the Star Observatory to assist you in restoring the robe?”

With a forced smile, Shang Xia chuckled bitterly, “All I know is that the Star Origin Lord Robe contains an abundance of the power of the stars. It’s real Seventh Order energy and I want to see if we can draw enough energy from the stars to restore it...”

Surprisingly enough, Xin Lu nodded in acknowledgment. “Actually. It’s possible.”

This time, it was Shang Xia’s turn to be shocked. He was only trying his luck, but he didn’t think that Xin Lu would be able to give him an answer with such certainty.

Before Shang Xia could continue asking, Xin Lu explained, “It’s not as though the Star Robes of the Star Origin Guards had never been damaged before. I once heard Xing Xingtian mention how ordinary Star Robes would be able to restore itself if the damage wasn’t too serious. As long as they used their battle formation and drew on the power of starlight, it would slowly recover. However, if the damage was a little too serious, they would have to bring it over to the Star Observatory to be repaired.”

“The only thing Xing Xingtian didn’t say was how it was truly restored as it might be related to the secrets of the Star Origin Guards.”

Shang Xia nodded to show his understanding, and he understood how Tong Yutang managed to create those imitation products in the first place.
