Chapter 759: Starchain Obtained (1/2)

“What’s going on, Nie Tian?” Qiao Yunxi asked.

Eyes narrowed, Nie Tian slowly withdrew his hand from the control panel. “This teleportation portal contains two sets of coordinates. The one that leads to the Domain of the Falling Stars is usable now.”

Now that he had set the spell formation to the coordinates that led to the Domain of the Falling Stars, he would be teleported to the Realm of Split Void by simply entering the portal.

“But I don’t know exactly where the second set of coordinate leads,” he explained, frowning. “It seems we won’t be able to use that set of coordinates for the time being.”

Tang Yong from the Divine Flame Sect sighed. “The Domain of the Falling Stars? I thought you could use it to teleport to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s headquarters...”

The other Divine Flame Sect members also seemed rather disappointed.

Soon after following Yue Yanxi to this place and finding this palace, they had learned from Yue Yanxi that the person who they had been waiting for was from a domain called the Domain of the Falling Stars, which had recently been discovered by the Lei Clan.

That person was a successor chosen by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, but he hadn’t gotten in touch with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace yet.

The most powerful experts in the Domain of the Falling Stars were only at the late Soul realm. They didn’t even have a single Void domain expert.

For this reason, the Lei Clan, one of their subordinate forces, had been able to do whatever they had wanted there.

Now, since this teleportation portal could only connect to the Domain of the Falling Stars for the time being, it meant that the forces in the Domain of the Falling Stars were the only ones they could turn to now.

Facing the five Void domain experts Xing Beichen had summoned here, what kind of help would the Domain of the Falling Stars be able to provide?

After a moment of pondering, Nie Tian turned to Tang Yong and said, “Let’s keep everyone in this palace for now. You’ll be safe here at the very least.

“As for Senior Yue, considering his cultivation base, even facing five Void domain experts, he’ll probably be able to get himself to safety. We don’t need to worry too much about him.”

Tang Yong nodded. “We don’t seem to have any other options.”

“Alright. I’m going to practice cultivation now. Suit yourselves.” With these words, Nie Tian found an empty spot, sat down in the lotus position, and started practicing cultivation.

Yin Yanan from the Beast-controlling Sect had looked around for some time after entering the palace, but still failed to find anything useful to her.

She then realized that Nie Tian would be the only one who could solve the secrets of this palace.

Even so, since her safety was guaranteed, she had nothing to complain about.

Therefore, while Nie Tian was cultivating, she found a spot close to Nie Tian and also sat down in silence.

Shortly afterwards, Tang Yong and the others also spread out, sat down, and waited in silence.

Tang Yong examined the numerous stone rooms inside the palace with his soul awareness, but failed to find a single item in them.

Since this wasn’t the Divine Flame Sect’s territory, they didn’t dare to walk around to conduct a thorough examination of the palace.

Therefore, they just sat there and practiced cultivation, while waiting to see how things would go.

Eyes closed, Nie Tian thought to himself, “Advancement in cultivation requires accumulation over a long period of time. However, by refining and deriving enlightenment from the second fragmentary star mark, I sped up my advancement.”

Therefore, he channeled power from his star souls, mixed it with his soul awareness, and sent it into the second fragmentary star mark to continue to derive enlightenment of Starchain.

While his soul awareness swam within the second fragmentary star mark, peace and clarity were restored to his mind. He even felt as if he could think more thoroughly than before.

An astonished expression appeared on his face as he instantly realized that the efficiency of him deriving enlightenment inside this palace was much higher than anywhere else he had been.

The ancient magical symbols that recorded Starchain were originally very hard to understand, but this time, as he tried to derive enlightenment from them, many points he hadn’t been able to understand before suddenly became plain and clear.

“This palace is so full of wonders!”

Then, he completely ignored the things around him and focused solely on deriving enlightenment of Starchain.

In the palace, Yin Yanan and the Divine Flame Sect disciples gradually settled down and practiced cultivation in silence.

However, shortly afterwards, they opened their eyes one after another, shock filling their faces.

Even they discovered that their efficiency of channeling spiritual power into their spiritual seas had become significantly higher than before, and they would have feelings of being suddenly enlightened from time to time.

This meant that not only Nie Tian, but others could also take advantage of the unique traits of this place to cultivate and derive enlightenment more efficiently.

The Divine Flame Sect disciples were overjoyed by this shocking discovery, and they started to seize every minute to go through the profound incantations they hadn’t understood before.

It was very consuming to try to derive enlightenment of Starchain. Only after a short while, Nie Tian started to experience a strong sense of depletion.

He thus withdrew his soul awareness, and discovered that the nine star souls over his sea of awareness had lost quite some power, and had become noticeably dimmer.

It would take a long time for him to recover soul power on his own.

However, he currently had a large number of soul crystals in his possession.
