Chapter 917: Receiving Everyone’s Attention (1/2)

The man who showed Nie Tian around and introduced the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s rules to him was a Soul realm deacon named Tao Jin.

From him, Nie Tian learned that not every member of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace practiced star power incantations.

As one of the most ancient and powerful human sects, the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace held all kinds of records that included almost everything one might hope to learn.

However, many members of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had chosen their cultivation attributes long before joining them.

The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace would pass agreeable incantations to them according to their cultivation attributes.

For that reason, as a member of the parliament of elders, Yan Zhan mainly practised flame power incantations.

Even though members of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace practiced a variety of incantations, the Sons of the Stars were required to practice star power incantations.

Each and every one of them needed to channel star power from the depths of the starry river.

After all, the most profound legacies of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace were its star power incantations.

Nie Tian also asked about sun power and moon power.

According to Tao Jin, sun power and moon power had originally been included in the Fragmentary Star Incantation.

Like the countless stars, the sun and the moon were also a part of the boundless starry river.

The incantations to channel power from the sun and the moon and practice cultivation with them had originally been branches of the Fragmentary Star Incantation. Even though they hadn’t been the mainstream, they had been just as unfathomable and powerful.

It was said that when the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had first been established, there had been three main palaces: the Fragmentary Star Palace, the Grand Sun Palace, and the Chilly Moon Palace.

However, the Grand Sun Palace and Chilly Moon Palace had always taken orders from the Fragmentary Star Palace.

The highest position their leaders had ever risen to was vice sectmaster, as if they hadn’t qualified to become the Lord of the Stars.

Now, with the Grand Sun Palace and the Chilly Moon Palace gone, the Fragmentary Star Palace became the only one left of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

However, the secret magics and incantations of the Grand Sun Palace and Chilly Moon Palace hadn’t vanished. There were still members of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace who practiced them, though very few of them had managed to enter the God domain over the past hundreds of thousands of years.

Xin Qing and Zu Guangyao, who Nie Tian had met earlier, were the experts with the highest attainments in those incantations throughout the entire sect, yet the two of them had been stuck at the late Saint domain for a very long time.

As a Son of the Stars, Nie Tian had to wait for the grand elder to assess him, and issue a special identity medallion to him.

Holding it, he would have access to the sect’s stock of spiritual materials, medicinal pills, and spiritual tools.

However, he would only be allowed to obtain a limited amount of resources at first.

Only after he made significant contributions to the sect and accumulated abundant contribution points would he be able to use them to get more valuable resources.

As long as his contributions were vast and significant enough, he would be able to obtain Spirit Channeling grade spiritual tools, and all kinds of precious medicinal pills and spiritual materials from the sect.

He would even be able to trade the contribution points for realms or domains that would only belong to him.

For hundreds of thousands of years, experts of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had fought outsiders in search of unexplored realms and domains in the depths of the starry river.

Every few years, new realms or domains would be added to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s map.

Some of the realms or even domains would be used to reward those who made great contributions to the sect.

This was rather similar to how the Blood Skull from the Realm of Split Void offered spiritual materials in exchange for contribution points.

“...However, you won’t be able to get any cultivation resources before the grand elder issues an identity medallion to you.” Tao Jin showed Nie Tian to one magnificent palace after another before they came to a stop in front of a lofty establishment that pierced into the clouds. “This is the Records Pavilion. All of the other disciples have to present their identity medallions in order to browse through the ancient records in it.

“However, the Sons of the Stars can enter it freely.

“But since you don’t have an identity medallion yet, you can only read the records in there.

“After the grand elder returns, he’ll give you a comprehensive assessment, issue an identity medallion to you, and give you some advice.

“At that time, you’ll be able to use your identity medallion to obtain medicinal pills, spiritual materials, or spiritual tools that suit your needs in the relevant pavilions.”

As Tao Jin gave him an earnest explanation, Nie Tian felt like an insect standing in front of the towering Records Pavilion, whose top disappeared into the clouds. Gazing skywards, he asked with an overwhelmed expression, “Will I be allowed to browse through any record this Records Pavilion holds?”

Tao Jin nodded and said with a somewhat envious expression, “Yes, any record. Although, our sect’s most valuable legacies are in fact already in your hands. They dwarf every record in the Records Pavilion.”

“The most valuable legacies?” Nie Tian asked, looking confused. “Do you mean the three fragmentary star marks?”
