Chapter 870: Chapter 347: Not in Our Power (2)
As soon as the war started, everyone was sent into the underground safety fortress.
No one was really frightened.
When bringing out Father and Jiang’er, Ning Yuchan gave Xu Jin a fierce glare.
That look, both charming and stern!
"You talk with Uncle Xu and Jiang’er first, then come find me afterwards."
Upon leaving, Ning Yuchan’s sharp gaze made Xu Jin smile slightly.
It’s as if she wants to devour someone.
"Dad, have you gotten used to staying here?"
"At first, it was a bit uncomfortable, but lately I’ve gotten used to it! Everything we eat and use were items we listed, and your State Preceptor specifically transported them from Dachen, saying he was afraid we wouldn’t adapt well!
It’s pretty good!
Except this time, it was a bit frightening."
As he spoke, Xu Dajiang glanced at the two concubines, "These two are so useless, they were almost scared stiff, and it was Jiang’er who carried them in together with me. But Jiang’er, she’s bold and calm.
These days, the Domain Master’s wife has been praising her daily.
Almost praising this girl to the heavens!"
Returning to the courtyard where Xu Dajiang and Jiang’er lived, Xu Jin looked at the arrangement with many emotions.
The State Preceptor and Ji Family truly put effort into this.
The utensils and arrangements all bear the style of Jinshan County.
Consider that, this is the Alien Star Domain, transporting things here comes at a great cost.
But Xu Jin also understands, this is where his value lies!
After chatting for a while, Xu Jin simply gave his father and the two concubines each a Warm Dream, letting them recover in slumber.
Even though these past few days in the safety fortress were secure, the fear and anxiety made it unpleasant.
A Warm Dream should let them fully recover.
Xu Jin then called Jiang’er aside, to test Jiang’er!
Soon enough, Xu Jin nodded with satisfaction, as Jiang’er had two Star Skills that could be used instantaneously.
With this, she could start Star Casting.
Coincidentally, Xu Jin also wanted to implement his plan, to cultivate Jiang’er to harness stars!
Even if she can’t harness Bright Star, she can harness Gold Star!
And this plan’s key point is Divine Soul Cultivation.
The Divine Soul Cultivation of Heart Demon and Gatekeeper is fixed, and before reaching Fourth Rank Early Stage, strengthening Divine Soul Cultivation is greatly advantageous!
Taking this two-hour, Xu Jin laid the foundation for Jiang’er.
Meanwhile, Xu Jin also made an important decision!
To pass the Clearing Soul Star Pattern on to Jiang’er.
Xu Jin had personally validated the effects of Clearing Soul Star Pattern.
The earlier she learns, the greater the benefits.
Previously, Xu Jin discussed with Senior Brother Qi Shanye, but the safety risks were too high, so he didn’t pass it!
But at that time, Xu Jin hadn’t yet cast a star.
Now, things are completely different.
Within two to three months, Xu Jin’s cultivation level would inevitably reach Fourth-order Ninth Layer Peak.
As long as he breaks through to Fifth Tier, Xu Jin even has the confidence to contend with ordinary Seventh Tier.
Simultaneously, if Xu Jin can successfully research and deduce the Star Patterns of Thunder Elephant, Fire Elephant, and Earth Elephant from the Alien Race, Xu Jin’s combat power would more than double!
He could also protect Jiang’er.
Furthermore, in the short term, Jiang’er would continue residing in the Huashi Star Domain, with little risk!
However, passing the Clearing Soul Star Pattern is extremely tedious.
If taught as Senior Brother Qi Shanye did to Xu Jin, there wouldn’t be as much time, taking over ten days.
That was still with Xu Jin using the Star Lamp.
According to Senior Brother Qi Shanye, normally, even the geniuses from Lingji Star Hall would require about a month to learn the Clearing Soul Star Pattern.
Now, Xu Jin lacks time the most.
However, Xu Jin had thought of a method to resolve this issue before coming.
Xu Jin knows Warm Dream, while Qi Shanye does not.
In reality, teaching is limited by fragile Divine Soul Power and requires personal guidance, which is time-consuming.
But learning in dreams allows repetition hundreds of times in a very short time, enabling memorization.
Theoretically, one could learn engraving on their own.
If not, Xu Jin would teach in person.
This is also an innovative attempt by Xu Jin to teach the Clearing Soul Star Pattern.
This alone took a full two hours to complete.
During these two hours, Xu Jin did not idle; he used Star Power to refine Jiang’er’s body once and taught the simplest Third-Tier Clear Soul technique to Jiang’er in a dream, over fifty times.
When Xu Jin found Ning Yuchan, she was in a quiet room, contemplating the enhancement of the Star Pattern!
The aura was very majestic.
In Xu Jin’s perception, Ning Yuchan was about to enhance her Gold Origin Star Pattern to nearly the third layer.
Moreover, Ning Yuchan was using the power of a Fifth-Tier Star Battle to enhance it, which was far less efficient compared to the Primordial Spirit.
"Sister Yuchan, have you always been this diligent?" Xu Jin asked curiously.
Hearing this, Ning Yuchan paused for a moment, "Only by strengthening oneself can you completely control your own destiny!
After I broke my leg, I realized this, so I practiced arduously day and night.
No free time is wasted."
After a pause, Ning Yuchan continued, "Especially after you got into trouble, I only hated my lack of strength and thus practiced even more harder, lamenting why a day doesn’t have more than twenty-four hours!"
In the next instant, Ning Yuchan’s eyebrows stood upright, "Now, you better tell me why you kept it from me all along!"
...
In the Domain Master’s Mansion, Domain Master Ji Cheng had already awakened. When father and daughter met, especially in times of adversity, there were endless things to say.
However, with the formidable enemy in the Huashi Star Domain ahead, Ji Cheng soon went out to discuss matters with the reinforcements. Not only did they need to stabilize the current Star Domain, but they also had to consider the connection between Huashi Star Domain and the Ancestral Land Cave Heaven.
Ji Hongli, outside, did not find Heavenly Saint Qi and subconsciously activated the Hundred Flowers Star Pattern, intending to find Senior Brother Qi since the ensuing matters still required Senior Brother Qi’s decision.
But soon, she suddenly heard the voices of Heavenly Saint Qi, Xu Dajiang, Jiang’er, and the voice of Heavenly Saint Qi calling Xu Dajiang ’father’, and Jiang’er calling him ’brother’!
Ji Hongli knew about Xu Jin’s father, Xu Dajiang, and was also aware of Senior Brother Xu Jin’s sister, Jiang’er, whom she had met several times and even sought to play with Jiang’er privately.
At this moment, she heard Jiang’er calling Heavenly Saint Qi ’brother’!
Thinking about the things she had seen and heard before.
First came anger.
But in the next moment, her charming face turned red to the roots of her ears.
A peerless hero!
Waiting for her peerless hero to return!
Her heart’s desire!
Her heart belonged!
...
Recalling the things she had said in front of Heavenly Saint Qi, or rather Xu Jin, Ji Hongli’s face was burning so hot that it could roast a fish. Even though Xu Jin was not present, she wished she could find a hole to hide in!
If she had said those things in front of others, it would have been fine.
But she had said in front of her Senior Brother that her Senior Brother was her peerless hero!
Confessing to her Senior Brother in front of her Senior Brother, this...
In the next moment, Ji Hongli’s cheeks almost burned through, but her glance turned into a look that could slice anyone.
Too wicked!
Senior Brother Xu Jin was too wicked!
Forcing her to confess countless times to her Senior Brother.
Not only did he not remind her, but sometimes he also encouraged her...
In an instant, Ji Hongli’s expression became indescribably complex, both wanting to find a place to hide and wanting to confront someone...

In the Domain Master’s Mansion, Domain Master Ji Cheng, Military Adviser Ji Xiuchuan, was discussing the next strategic plans with the reinforcements’ Governor Cui Chongguang, as well as Li Zhen, Hou Yunzhang, and others.
"Re-establishing control over the occupied areas of the Huashi Star Domain is not a big problem, but whether we can hold them afterward is extremely challenging!" Domain Master Ji Cheng was analyzing the current situation, "Previously, two-thirds of the Sixth-Tier experts were from the Alien Race.
Though we have now overcome the crisis, these Alien Race experts are gone. Currently, another four Sixth-Tier Alien Species have returned under my command with my awakening, and they are still usable!
But the current problem is, regardless of whether the connection with the Ancestral Land Cave Heaven succeeds or not, in the future, our Hongli City will face the crazy retaliation of the other three clans!
Not enough Sixth-Tier experts!
If the connection succeeds, there might even be retaliation from Seventh-Tier Alien Clans!
So, Governor Cui, I want to know if you can launch another assault to weaken the elite forces of the other three clans!
If successful, then we still have a chance to re-establish our footing!
If not!
Then we can only immediately organize a large-scale retreat!
And a decision needs to be made immediately!
Because there are thousands of current Human Race members in the Huashi Star Domain!
Retreat takes time!
So, I need a definite answer from you!
Can you weaken the Sixth-Tier elite forces of the three clans?" Domain Master Ji Cheng asked.
Facing Ji Cheng’s inquiry, Cui Chongguang, Li Zhen, and Hou Yunzhang looked at each other, but no one answered.
Seeing Ji Cheng’s urgency, Cui Chongguang finally said, "Domain Master Ji, we cannot make such decisions!"
Ji Cheng was stunned!
