Chapter 919: An Earth Grade Incantation (1/2)
On the nineteenth floor of the Records Pavilion in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s headquarters.
Countless scrolls and books were stocked to the ceiling of the spacious round floor. Many were covered in dust, while others seemed to have been read recently, their pages worn out.
A large number of Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace disciples were choosing their books in different locations.
Every book and scroll on this floor was about flame power incantations.
Those who hadn’t found the books they wanted floated around like feathers.
However, once they found the records they needed, they would find a place in the spacious hall to sit and imprint the contents of the books in their minds.
After entering the Profound realm, every Qi warrior would gain the ability to fly without exterior support.
Most of the Qi warriors here were at the Profound realm or higher, and all of them practiced flame power incantations.
Nie Tian started wandering around.
As he did, many who had recognized Tao Jin, and thus realized who Nie Tian was, stopped what they were doing and fixed Nie Tian with measuring gazes.
It was forbidden to speak aloud in the Records Pavilion. Therefore, they all examined him in silence, and were soon surprised by the fact that he also practiced flame power.
They found it hard to believe that this Son of the Stars actually practiced flame power incantations.
The star power incantations were the core of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s legacies. As a Son of the Stars, Nie Tian had access to the most powerful and profound of them all.
Many Sons of the Stars spent their whole lives learning those secret incantations, but still failed to climb to the peak.
Humans had limited lifespans. Even their current sectmaster chose to solely practice star power incantations, fearing that if he were distracted, he would waste his time and die before he could make his next breakthrough in cultivation.
Like their sectmaster, all of the other Sons of the Stars also practiced star power incantations and nothing else.
Therefore, the fact that the seventh Son of the Stars had shown up on the nineteenth floor on the first day he had arrived in their headquarters came as quite a shock to all of them.
Many of them asked questions inwardly, but didn’t say anything out loud.
“The path of cultivation is a time-consuming one. Practicing an additional type of power will take a big part of a cultivator’s time. Even if he has the energy for it, will he have the time?”
“I wonder what this Son of the Stars is thinking. He has access to our top star power incantations, yet he’s distracting himself by learning flame power incantations. What an eccentric man.”
“Strange...”
After a while, they discovered that Nie Tian didn’t pay any attention to any of them, but instead focused on looking through the records. Their curiosity gradually disappeared, and they went back to their own business.
The Records Pavilion remained soundless the whole time.
Tao Jin sat silently in a corner, like an old monk meditating.
Nie Tian, however, would take a book from the sea of books and scrolls every once in a while, and find a place to browse through and memorize its contents. Then, he would rise to his feet to look for new ones.
Just the records on the nineteenth floor alone were so vast that they dazzled his eyes.
By accident, he found records of the Flame Spirit Incantation.
At the beginning of the book, it read that the Flame Spirit Incantation was a sixth level Medium grade incantation.
Apparently, like spiritual tools, incantations and spells were also graded.
They could be divided into Elementary grade, Medium grade, Premium grade, Earth grade, and Heaven grade.
Each of the Elementary, Medium, and Premium grades could be subdivided into seven levels.
The incantations at these three grades suited Qi warriors who hadn’t reached the Profound realm.
Earth grade incantations suited Profound realm, Worldly realm, and Soul realm Qi warriors.
Heaven grade incantations, however, were the most complicated and profound of all, since they involved the use of domains.
Nie Tian discovered that he could only find Elementary grade, Medium grade, Premium grade, and Earth grade incantations and spells on this floor.
He didn’t find a single Heaven grade incantation or spell.
Normally speaking, Qi warriors with low cultivation bases were better off starting with Elementary grade incantations before going up to Medium grade and Premium grade ones.
A process was necessary. Only after their understanding of flame power had risen to a certain level should they start learning Earth grade incantations.
