Chapter 249: Some Rejoice While Others Gloom (2/2)
“The middle part of the incantation is about cultivating soul power and using it to cast mysterious spells.”
His brief examination allowed him to have an overall idea of the first and middle parts of the Fragmentary Star Incantation.
He also realized that his priority was to learn every spell and technique recorded within them.
Every time he fully mastered one spell, the symbols that carried the spell would disappear from within the fragmentary star marks.
By the time there wasn’t a single symbol left in the two hexagram marks, it would mean that every spell and technique they carried had been engraved in his mind and had become a part of him.
Therefore, even if the Heaven Palace Sect somehow found him, they wouldn’t be able to strip the incantation from him.
At the same time, in the Realm of Flame Heaven…
On top of a high mountain peak outside the Hell Sect, Ning Yang from the Heaven Palace Sect had a grim expression on his face after being awoken from his cultivation. Frustration could be seen in his eyes as he stared at the pervading demon Qi in front of him. Low in spirit, he asked, “You’re here. Any word?”
Standing beside him, Su Lin’s long, white garments fluttered in the wind. Adding in the chilly moonlight, she looked like a female immortal that had just descended from the moon.
Su Lin stepped closer to Ning Yang and shook her head. “No. We have every sect in the Realm of Flame Heaven searching for Nie Tian for us, but there’s still no news regarding his whereabouts. I even sent out a number of our sect members to ask for his information. They all came back empty-handed.
“It’s almost as if this Nie Tian person has vanished into thin air.”
Ning Yang let out a sigh and said, “We can’t find him, which means that we can’t return to our sect. My martial uncle sent people to inform me that the spatial rift near our sect is also leaking demon Qi day and night.
“If this goes on, it won’t be even ten years before we will be forced to move our sect.”
Su Lin pondered in silence for a moment before asking, “Have you learned the profound knowledge in your fragmentary star mark?”
Upon hearing these words, a sinister expression appeared on Ning Yang’s handsome face.
He grunted like a trapped beast, and vigorously smashed his fist onto the stone ground next to him.
CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
Sizable cracks extended in the solid stone ground up to a hundred meters away.
Numerous huge rocks rolled down the mountaintop and fell to the bottom of the valley. It took a long time for the rumbling sounds to stop.
“In order to study the knowledge in the fragmentary star mark, I’ve already used up the star power that I obtained in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. But all that I’ve seen…” Ning Yang paused to take a deep breath. Then, he shook his head and said, “I can’t see very clearly, but I’m certain that the final part of the Fragmentary Star Incantation is about entering and cultivating in the three domains!”
Su Lin’s expression flickered. “What?! That means only the ultimate experts who are in the Void Domain, the Saint Domain, and the God Domain will be able to learn and use it?”
Ning Yang nodded in frustration and said with a hateful tone, “This damn incantation must be practiced step by step. Only by mastering the first and middle parts of it will I be able to learn the method to channel star power and cultivate my soul. And only when these are accomplished, and I reach the peak of the Soul realm, will I be able to use the method in my part of the incantation to cultivate!”
“Without knowing how to channel star power and develop soul power, I can’t even get a good understanding of the method, much less use it!
After realizing what had happened, Su Lin looked him in the eye and consoled, “Don’t worry, martial uncle. We’ll find that Nie Tian person soon, and you’ll have his two fragmentary star marks. Then, you’ll be able to start with the first part of the incantation and learn the whole thing.”
With these words, Su Lin said with an envious expression on her face, “Only the mysterious Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, which has vanished for centuries, has divine methods of cultivating in the Void Domain, the Saint Domain, and the God Domain. Even our sect doesn’t have them, and so we are merely groping in the dark.”
“What I fear the most is that Nie Tian might master the knowledge in his two fragmentary star marks before we can find him.” Ning Yang’s face was very grim. “By that time, even our sectmaster won’t have the ability to strip those two fragmentary star marks from him.
“If his fragmentary star marks have become a part of him while I can’t even study mine, I’ll be forced to give mine up to him!”
Those thoughts made Ning Yang fume with anger.
Upon hearing his words, Su Lin’s face also grew long. She said, “I’ll send some of our people to search in the other realms of the Domain of the Falling Stars.”
As soon as she uttered these words, Su Lin turned around and left.
After she disappeared from his sight, Ning Yang finally broke. He threw his head back and roared Nie Tian’s name before smashing the mountaintop into stone pieces.
