Chapter 291: New Findings (1/2)

Via his Heaven Eyes, Nie Tian heard the conversation between Song Li and the Greater Heaven stage Qi warrior with great clarity.

“Damn! They’re together!” At that moment, he realized that Song Li was also a Hunter, and apparently rather lofty among their organization.

Using his Heaven Eyes, Nie Tian had determined that the tall Qi warrior was at the middle Greater Heaven stage.

With his strength, he didn’t need to worry about being confronted by anyone as long as he steered clear of the most powerful experts from the Dark Moon, Wild Fire, and Blood Skull.

However, he didn’t even dare to say a word when he was slapped by Song Li. This was enough to prove Song Li’s lofty status.

“Now that this evil woman has made me her sworn enemy, I’ve got to be more careful.” Frowning, he swiftly changed his path as he traveled at a fast speed into the depths of the dense forest, not leaving a clear trail for his pursuer.

He was aware that, considering his current cultivation base, if he only ran in open spaces, perhaps he wouldn’t be able to get away from the Greater Heaven stage Hunter.

Fortunately, this dense forest was filled with giant trees that reached into the heavens along with high grade spirit beasts that would show up from time to time.

As familiar as the Hunter was with this forest, Nie Tian was able to circle around and lose him with the help of his seven Heaven Eyes and the complicated terrain.

An hour later, Nie Tian could no longer sense the Hunter who had been chasing after him.

He examined his surroundings again using his Heaven Eyes and was convinced that he was safe now.

During the following days, he kept running further and further away from the area where he had fought Song Li. He steered clear of high grade spirit beasts with the help of his Heaven Eyes, and stopped in safe regions to recover.

He would consume large amounts of the fourth grade spirit beast meat he had stockpiled and feed the rich flesh power to the green aura in his heart.

During the day, he would channel spiritual power from spirit stones and spiritual materials of different attributes to his spiritual sea to gradually push the limits of its capacity.

During the night, he would channel starlight from the countless stars in the heavens and form star power.

As a result, his spiritual sea gradually expanded and his spiritual power became more refined every day. Only the speed at which he condensed stardew was relatively slow.

One night…

Nie Tian, who had assumed the lotus position on a thick tree branch protruding from a tall tree, stopped cultivating and looked up into the infinite, starry sky.

The starlight that had been pouring down from the heavens rapidly dispersed. With a frown, he whispered to himself, “This method of gathering star power and condensing stardew is still too slow. The peculiar stones I previously used to restore star power were probably mined from or discovered in the Void Illusion Mountain Range as well. I just don’t know where to look.”

Pei Qiqi had bought him some peculiar stones in Shatter City and he had looted some more from the Dark Moon members he had killed.

Those stones had allowed him to condense stardew at a much faster speed, and thus greatly benefited his studying of the Fragmentary Star Incantation.

Unfortunately, he had already used all of them the last time he had studied the Starstrike magic.

Without those stones, Nie Tian wondered if he should start learning the Starshift.

After all, once he received enlightenment and mastered the magic, he would have to use stardew to practice.

The replenishment of stardew could only be done through night after night of channeling starlight from the heavens.

That was why he was hesitant to do it.

He sighed. “If I can find more of those stones, I’ll be able to condense copious amounts of stardew within a very short time. Then, I’ll be able to study the Starshift without any scruples.”

Recently, he had attached great significance to the cultivation of the green aura in his heart and the study of Fragmentary Star Incantation.

For the green aura to transform and advance to the next level, he would only need to continue to absorb flesh power. Since he had obtained the meat of numerous second and third grade spirit beasts, along with the Blood Eye Crocodile’s and the Golden Stone Rhino’s meat, he wouldn’t need to worry that he would run out of resources anytime soon. All he needed to do was consume meat every day and provide the green aura with rich flesh power.

What truly bothered him was that since he condensed stardew too slowly, it held up his study of the Fragmentary Star Incantation.

While he was wallowing in frustration, he heard a sharp scream via one of his Heaven Eyes. “Hmm?!”

It was the kind of sound people made when they died.

The source of the scream was beyond the sight of that Heaven Eye, so Nie Tian would need to move in that direction to get a clearer view of what was happening.

Therefore, he jumped off the tree.

As he moved closer to the source of the scream, that Heaven Eye of his floated to the site within a rather short time.

“Lu Yan!” Even though Nie Tian was still quite far from the site, he saw a familiar figure via his Heaven Eye: Lu Yan, who had quit Shen Wei’s hunting team.
