Chapter 169: Su Lin from the Heaven Palace Sec (1/2)

Nie Tian’s mind shook violently.

The mysterious words in the Heaven Sparks were mostly randomly scattered and out of order. It seemed like it would need to be rearranged and lined up in order to learn their true meaning.

However, among the mess of disordered words, a handful of words were perfectly lined up.

They were written with the ancient symbols of the ancient Qi warriors.

Those words read, “Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace Legacy, first part of Fragmentary Star Incantation.”

“Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace!” Nie Tian’s expression slightly flickered. He withdrew his mind and glanced around at the vast palace hall. Looking at the small stars that were shining on the ceiling, he suddenly came to realize something.

This place must be the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace that those words were referring to, and all the comers were here for its legacies.

Before now, his psychic power had been unable to enter the Heaven Sparks. Therefore, even though he had absorbed quite a few magical symbols from the dilapidated city, he hadn’t been able to study them.

It was as if the fifteen Heaven Sparks had been covered in a invisible shield, blocking his psychic awareness from peeping into them.

However, as soon as the detailed pattern entered the Heaven Sparks on his hands, the impeding shield seemed to suddenly lifted.

From the look of it, only those who got into the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace would be able to send their psychic power into the Heaven Sparks, so as to learn the profound mysteries that hid within.

Having understood how it worked, Nie Tian took a deep breath and once again concentrated on observing the numerous patterns on the distant walls.

After the starlight had shone on them, each and every one of them had begun glittering with bright light.

Every one of them became so clear and vivid that Nie Tian’s eyes could capture even the most subtle veins and lines.

Some were patterns of the sun, moon, and stars; some were patterns of ravines and mountain ranges, while others were of veins of ancient trees. They all represented the various things in the world.

However, it seemed not all of them could be absorbed and drawn in by his psychic power.

As his gaze shifted from one pattern to another, he noticed that he couldn’t build up a mysterious connection with any one of those patterns.

His gaze roamed here and there, continuously sweeping across the wall, before it suddenly fixed on one pattern that was filled with numerous fragmentary stars, which made it seem like a dazzling and bright star atlas.

The moment his gaze landed on it, a mysterious connection was established between Nie Tian and the pattern.

The fifteen Heaven Sparks on his hand once again became extremely hot. At the same time, a strong attractive force was born within them.

In the next moment, the mysterious pattern that seemed to be made of stars was pulled out of the wall and slowly flew towards him, soon merging with his Heaven Sparks.

Nie Tian carefully probed his Heaven Sparks and found that as soon as the pattern of fragmentary stars entered the Heaven Sparks, it seemed to disintegrate.

The complicated and detailed star atlas exploded and turned into numerous ancient symbols, which scattered around inside the fifteen Heaven Sparks.

His psychic awareness drifted around from one Heaven Spark to another, and he discovered that the numerous, unreadable symbols that he had absorbed from the dilapidated city had morphed into ancient scripts.

There were hundreds of ancient scripts within the fifteen Heaven Sparks, each of which shone brightly and looked like fragmentary stars that were drifting around indefinitely and quietly.

Although he could recognize most of those ancient scripts, since they weren’t in the correct order, he couldn’t decipher the true meaning behind them.

However, he was quite certain that they recorded the first part of the Fragmentary Star Incantation.

Another thing was that he had the feeling that the ancient scripts that he obtained was far from enough to complete the first part of the Fragmentary Star Incantation.

In order to obtain the legacy, not only would he have to add more scripts to his Heaven Sparks, but he would also need to spend countless hours to rearrange the disorderly scripts and put them in the right order.

Only in that way would he be able to understand the profound mysteries within the Fragmentary Star Incantation and start cultivating with it.

WHOOSH!

He breathed out a mouthful of waste after channeling two more patterns from the wall into his Heaven Sparks. He could tell that he had already consumed a large amount of his psychic power.

He decided to slow down his pace. Instead of continuing to channel the patterns on the palace walls, he turned around to look at the other three cultivators in the Lesser Heaven area.

He was convinced that the three of them were here for the one and only purpose: to obtain the first part of the Fragmentary Star Incantation, legacy of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

He discovered that the three of them were doing exactly what he had done, absorbing patterns from the distant walls and adding magical symbols into their own Heaven Sparks.

He paid more attention to the blue-garbed young woman.

Since she had placed her hands on her knees, palms facing up, Nie Tian never had the chance to see how many Heaven Sparks she had.

At that moment, she was also using her psychic power and the special connection to absorb mysterious patterns from the walls into her Heaven Sparks.

This gave Nie Tian the chance to get a clear view of her hands, and on the back of her milky left hand he saw as many as twenty Heaven Sparks!
