Chapter 325: Refining the Mark (2/2)

Even though it was a very small meteor, it required a terrifyingly substantial amount of psychic power and star power to channel it and alter its direction.

Back then, he hadn’t entered the middle Heaven stage, so the amount of star power he had accumulated had been fairly limited.

Later, the breakthrough in his cultivation had allowed him to condense more stardew and continue to gather more star power in his spiritual sea.

Over the past few days, he had been cultivating with Star Stones, and the star power in his lake of stardew had risen to at least twice the amount he had possessed before he made the breakthrough.

The increase in his star power and the fact that it was a extremely small meteor contributed to his successful casting of Starfall.

All the meteors he had encountered before had been too large for him. Considering his cultivation base and the amount of his star power he had possessed back then, it was only natural that he hadn’t been able to alter the path they moved in, much less channel them towards a certain location.

“It was such a small meteor, and I merely altered its track a bit. Yet, I used up almost all of my psychic power and star power!”

“This magic is clearly not something I can use freely or apply in battle for the time being!”

The truth became increasingly clear to Nie Tian.

Of the three magics recorded in the first part of the Fragmentary Star Incantation, Nie Tian was already able to exercise Starstrike and Starshift.

However, it was a whole other case with Starfall. Considering his current cultivation base and strength, he definitely couldn’t use it in a confrontation.

From what he could tell, perhaps only when he entered the Worldly realm or the Profound realm would he be able to cast it skillfully and use it to channel meteors to bombard his enemies.

If he wanted to channel enormous meteors from outer space, he might need to advance to an even higher cultivation base and possess star power as immense as the sea.

“Fortunately, I’ve finally mastered all three profound magics recorded in the first fragmentary star mark.” As Nie Tian watched the ancient symbols within the first fragmentary star mark vanish bit by bit, joy rose from the bottom of his heart, knowing that he wouldn’t have to remain in hiding and worry about his true identity being revealed anymore.

He opened his lapels and looked down at his chest, discovering that the originally tattoo-like fragmentary star mark was fading away. Moments later, it disappeared completely, as if it had seeped into his flesh and merged with him.

Meanwhile, the fragmentary star mark he hadn’t been able to learn was still clearly showing.

“Does this mean that I’ve fully refined the mark?” With these thoughts, he suddenly experienced a burning sensation from the fragmentary star mark that had already merged with his flesh.

He immediately examined that area with a wisp of psychic awareness, and found that lines of brand new magical symbols had appeared within the refined fragmentary star mark.

After a brief glance at the magical symbols, Nie Tian managed to brand them deeply in his mind and make them a part of his soul.

Shortly afterwards, the magical symbols gradually vanished.

He went over the magical symbols he had imprinted in his memory, and discovered that they actually recorded the secret method of sealing spatial rifts, and that in order to do that, he would have to mobilize all three fragmentary star marks, as well as the mysterious power of the starry river.

He would be the spellcaster. All he needed to do would be to follow the secret method as he released the three fragmentary star marks and controlled them with his soul to seal the opened spatial rifts.

At that moment, he also suddenly sensed the existence of the third fragmentary star mark.

It was as if the third fragmentary star mark was now reflected in his mind, enabling him to sense its precise location.

He didn’t achieve that with his Heaven Eyes. It seemed that all he needed to do was form a thought in his mind, and immediately afterwards he would learn the location of the third fragmentary star mark.

“Ning Yang! That’s the fragmentary star mark on Ning Yang!” That was when Nie Tian came to realize that mysterious connections existed between the three fragmentary star marks.

The reason he hadn’t discovered those connections before was because he hadn’t fully refined the first fragmentary star mark back then. Now that it had become a part of him, he could learn the location of the third fragmentary star mark, and thus capture Ning Yang’s location and movements with great precision. “He’s close to the crash site of that small meteor!”

After determining Ning Yang’s location, Nie Tian didn’t rush into action. Instead, he took out some Star Stones and used them to restore the star power he had consumed.

Then, he fished out a few medicinal pills that could replenish his psychic power and stuffed them down his throat.

Only after almost a whole day did he finally recover the star power and psychic power he had consumed.

By the time he got up and arrived at the meteor’s crash site, Ning Yang was already gone. With a brief examination, he found that Ning Yang was searching for ways to refine his fragmentary star mark in a location 50 kilometers away now.

However, at that moment, Nie Tian suddenly felt a burning sensation from the fragmentary star mark on his chest while standing by the edge of the crater, which was only the size of a well.

For some reason, he had a feeling that something deep beneath the crater was attracting his fragmentary star mark.

“What’s going on?” Eyes filled with confusion and curiosity, Nie Tian gazed into the crater as he commanded one of his Heaven Eyes to probe into the depths of the earth.
