Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1312 - 1295: Star Level Evaluation (Fourth Update)
In the courtyard of the Heavenly Elder’s mansion, a stele as tall as two people was placed under an old locust tree.
This stele, neither jade nor stone, was perfectly square, covered with mottled traces of age and the breath of time, and thickly coated with dust, making it very inconspicuous.
The Heavenly Elder’s hunched body and deep eyes gazed at Xiao Ye.
It was indeed surprising to him that Xiao Ye could receive the protection of a Half-step Emperor, but ultimately, the achievements of a Martial Artist depend on themselves.
"The Heavenly Ascension Stele, can it really assess the strength of a Titled Emperor Martial?"
Xiao Ye whispered to himself.
In the True Spirit Continent, there are many treasures capable of testing strength, so Xiao Ye was not surprised.
Just now, after a fierce battle with the Titled Emperor Martial from the Ten Great Sects and Ten Great Families in Sealing Emperor City, he learned from the Sword Emperor that within the realm of the Titled Emperor Martial, there are also clear level standards.
For instance, Yue Xing from the Yue Family is a Three-star Titled Emperor Martial.
I believe this grading is also applicable in the Central State, but he wasn’t previously at the realm of Titled Emperor Martial, so he didn’t know much about it.
Now that the Heavenly Elder wants to assess his strength, it suits him perfectly!
"Xiao Ye, the Heavenly Ascension Stele is in the hands of the more powerful sect forces in the Central State. Simply placing your palm on it will automatically evaluate your strength,"
"When you left the Invincible Emperor Domain, your strength wasn’t very strong, so you might not know about the classifications in this realm. Let me explain it to you." Bing Ya said softly.
Holding the noble position of the Holy Daughter of the Ice and Snow Palace, nurtured with abundant cultivation resources, she had extraordinary insight. In comparison, Xiao Ye seemed like a country bumpkin in this regard.
"The domain of Titled Emperor Martial is vast. For instance, the Emperor Seventh Level is Titled Emperor Martial, and the Emperor Peak might still be Titled Emperor Martial, so naturally, strength cannot be universally measured."
"In our Central State, we use Star Level to classify the strength of a Titled Emperor Martial, with a significant gap between each star."
"For example, a typical Martial Artist who comprehends four types of mysteries to Intermediate and reaches the Emperor Seventh Level in cultivation is classified as an entry-level Titled Emperor Martial, with a strength evaluation of One Star."
"While those who comprehend a single mystery to the Great Achievement Realm and also reach the Emperor Seventh Level are somewhat stronger than entry-level Titled Emperor Martial, evaluated at Two Stars."
"The ultimate strength of Titled Emperor Martial is rated at Nine Stars, termed Invincible Titled Emperor Martial; your master Wu Ming should be at this level." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Usually, beyond Nine Stars is the level of a Half-step Emperor."
"This girl truly knows a lot, and what she says is accurate." The Sword Emperor interjected, speaking at ease.
"As for me, I have not only comprehended a single profound mystery to Perfection but also realized one Great Success and one Intermediate mystery, while my cultivation is at the Emperor Eighth Level Mid Stage, evaluated at Six Stars."
The Sword Emperor mentioned his strength, a tone full of self-satisfaction.
"But I’ve heard that in your Central State, many unparalleled heroes have emerged, advancing into the Titled Emperor Martial domain and being evaluated as Ten Stars, Eleven Stars, or even Twelve Stars."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye nodded in acknowledgement, finally gaining a very clear understanding of the domain of Titled Emperor Martial.
At the same time, a trace of confidence rose in his heart.
The Titled Emperor Martial of Sealing Emperor City might have seen him possessing four Emperor Domains when he crossed the tribulation but did not know about his historically unprecedented Four Emperor Skills. If he raises his strength in all aspects, he is bound to become a Titled Emperor Martial surpassing Nine Stars.
At this moment, Bing Ya stepped forward to the Heavenly Ascension Stele, closed her eyes, smoothly extended her jade hand, and pressed it against the stele.
Swish!
At this moment, the seemingly ordinary Heavenly Ascension Stele washed away its plainness, emitting strands of rosy clouds. From its surface, a majestic beam of light shot up into the sky, manifesting a shining star in the heavens.
Beside this star, another dimly glowing star gradually emerged.
One and a half stars!
Moments later, these bright and dim stars slowly vanished.
"This young girl is indeed impressive; her cultivation and comprehension of mysteries have not yet reached the Titled Emperor Martial realm, but she can still be evaluated at one and a half stars, indicating immense potential for the future,"
The Sword Emperor marveled, with even the cloudy eyes of the Heavenly Elder flashing brightly.
The greater the potential for the future, the greater the possibilities.
Bing Ya gracefully flashed back to Xiao Ye’s side.
"Xiao Ye, try testing your strength; I believe you can be evaluated at Three and a half stars, with an extreme at Four stars,"
"As long as you can truly be assessed at Three and a half stars, the Heavenly Elder will certainly not have any more doubts," the Sword Emperor urged Xiao Ye.
You must know, in the previous melee, Xiao Ye had forcefully defeated Yue Xing, so of course, he expected much from Xiao Ye’s strength.
The Heavenly Elder, hunched, was also watching Xiao Ye.
"Alright!"
Xiao Ye didn’t waste any words and stepped forward.
He took a deep breath, following Bing Ya’s demonstration, and placed his right hand on the Heavenly Ascension Stele.
The backyard of the mansion fell silent.
Suddenly, Xiao Ye’s body trembled, as he felt a warm current burst from the stele, rushing into his body and circulating within it.
Rumble!
In the next moment, the Heavenly Ascension Stele emitted a tremendous rumbling sound, with a majestic beam of light shooting upward, tumbling fiercely in the air, then stars began to form one after another.
One star!
Two stars!
Three stars!
The Sword Emperor’s eyes widened, holding his breath as he saw three stars appear.
Rumble!
As the Heavenly Ascension Stele trembled again, the rumbling sound spread, and another bright star fully materialized in the air.
Four stars!
"This boy is truly remarkable, able to be assessed as a Four-star Titled Emperor Martial; Heavenly Elder, did you see that? This boy’s cultivation just reached the Emperor Seventh Level Early Stage, he’s definitely a monster!" The Sword Emperor grew excited.
The Heavenly Elder silently nodded, a faint smile appearing on his wrinkled face.
With cultivation just at the Emperor Seventh Level Early Stage, being assessed at Four stars is indeed terrifying; surpassing the extreme Nine stars in the future is essentially no problem, it seems I made the right decision.
However, at this moment, a voice reached their ears, freezing their expressions.
"Sword Emperor senior, Heavenly Elder, this is not yet the limit of this junior..." Xiao Ye whispered, and in the next moment, it felt as if a divine lamp ignited within him, bursting forth with endless divine radiance, appearing as if a divine deity had awakened.
Xiao Ye had already activated the secret technique One Thought Flower, Invincible!
Rumble!
At this moment, the Heavenly Ascension Stele emitted a trembling sound, bursting forth with an even more majestic beam of light, causing the stars in the sky to change.
