Chapter 699: A Star Boa (2/2)

That was when he discovered that the words ‘Star Boat’ were carved on the bow of the boat in an ancient style.

This was probably the name of this air-transportation spiritual tool.

Fascinated by the words that were carved in an ancient and simple style, he couldn’t help but read them out loud. “Star Boat...”

As soon as he did, the three fragmentary star marks on his chest grew burning hot.

One word after another flew out of the second fragmentary star mark, which he hadn’t fully refined, before branding themselves in the depths of his soul.

He instantly learned everything he needed to know about the Star Boat.

The Star Boat was indeed an air-transportation spiritual tool. It was not only lightning fast, but also exceptionally powerful.

Provided with enough star power, both the head and the stern of the Star Boat could unleash deadly starlight on his enemies.

Other than that, with its sharp cone-shaped head and stern, he could charge it into and destroy his enemies’ air-transportation spiritual tools.

After learning all about the Star Boat, he lifted his hand and made a grabbing motion, then the Star Boat morphed into a streak of starlight and disappeared into his ring of holding.

He had known that this air-transportation spiritual tool was meant for him the moment he had seen it years ago.

However, as much as he had liked it, since his cultivation base had been rather low back then, he hadn’t been able to take it into his possession.

“Other than this Star Boat, there are two other items inside these mountain peaks that I promised to get for Li Muyang and Xing Huanyue.”

Eyebrows furrowed, he pondered how to enter the hollow space inside the other two mountain peaks, so that he could secure those two scrolls for Li Muyang and Xing Huanyue.

At this very moment, the small-scale teleportation portal, through which he had come to this place, suddenly lit up.

Two crystals gradually appeared, floating in the middle of the teleportation portal.

One was in the shape of a crescent moon, while the other was in the shape of the sun. There was a scroll in each of the transparent crystals.

Those scrolls were none other than what he was looking for.

“This is incredible...”

Gasping, Nie Tian made a grabbing motion in the air, and the two icy crystals flew into his palms.

That was when it occurred to him that there must be special connections between the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and the Yin Sect and the Yang Sect.

The Yin Sect disciples channeled power from the chilly moon, while the Yang Sect disciples channeled power from the blazing sun.

The sun, the moon, and the stars had been a whole since the beginning. There were moons, suns, and stars in every corner of the starry river.

Even though there were only a limited amount of moons and suns, the stars were innumerable...

A series of thoughts flashed across his mind, making him more and more convinced that the Yin Sect and the Yang Sect had special connections to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

He went on searching inside the mountain’s belly for a while, but found nothing more. Then, he returned to the grand palace in the Realm of Split Void through the small teleportation portal.

From there, he adjusted the compass of stars and teleported to the Realm of Flame Heaven and the Realm of Mystic Heaven successively.

He discovered nothing but starlit pagodas inside the lofty mountain peaks in those two realms.

After returning, he set the compass to the fourth set of coordinates.

As soon as he did, the teleportation portal started to thrum with even stronger spatial fluctuations, the spatial power materials that covered its bottom were rapidly drained of power.

However, the expected teleportation didn’t happen. Instead, the spatial fluctuations quieted down after a short while.

There must also be a similar teleportation portal in the place at the fourth set of coordinates. However, since the teleportation couldn’t be completed, it meant that something must have happened to that other teleportation portal.

After all, he had no problem teleporting to the Realm of a Thousand Devastations, the Realm of Flame Heaven, and the Realm of Mystic Heaven using the teleportation portal before him.

From the look of it, he would have to visit that place some other way, and then find out what had happened to the teleportation portal there.

With these thoughts, he went to check the other stone rooms that surrounded this great hall.

He figured people from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had probably lived there once, yet now they were completely empty.

Failing to find anything noteworthy, he could only give up and walk back towards the gate to the grand palace.
