Chapter 920: An Unexpected Gues (1/2)
Aside from Flame Dragon’s Cry, Nie Tian selected two other incantations on that floor.
One was the True Flame Incantation, and the other was Flaming Finger Swords.
Technically, Flaming Finger Swords was an attacking magic, which allowed its users to condense their flame power to the limit, and then unleash it as a fierce weapon.
As its name indicated, once cultivators mastered it, they would be able to turn their fingers into flaming swords, and then shoot extremely condensed flame power from their fingertips like sword lights.
The True Flame Incantation, however, was technically a cultivation method, which allowed its users to channel Heavenflame Essence from the starry sky in order to strengthen their spiritual cores.
Normally, Heavenflame Essence only existed in blazing meteors and Heavenflame Crystals.
It was known that, as a powerful species, Heaven Flame Beasts upgraded their bloodlines by capturing and fusing Heavenflame Essence in the depths of the starry river with themselves.
Aside from them, vermilion birds, flame phoenixes, and flame dragons also had a natural inclination for Heavenflame Essence.
As for Nie Tian, perhaps he wouldn’t have the time and energy to roam the vast starry river to gather Heavenflame Essence.
However, he could purchase Heavenflame Crystals.
From Heavenflame Crystals, he could also gain Heavenflame Essence, channel it into his flame power spiritual core, and practice the True Flame Incantation.
Flame Dragon’s Cry, Flaming Finger Swords, and the True Flame Incantation were all Earth grade spiritual incantations. Nie Tian imprinted them all on his flame power sub-soul so that he wouldn’t have to spend much time learning them himself.
By the time his flame power sub-soul gained an overall understanding of them, he would be able to try to practice them himself.
After gaining these three Earth grade flame power incantations, Nie Tian figured that he wouldn’t pick any more flame power incantations before he fully mastered them.
Therefore, he went to find Tao Jin, and expressed his intent to leave for the floor where wood power incantations were stored.
“Huang Jinnan, a Divine Son of the Five Elements Sect, came for you,” Tao Jin said. “Noble as he is, he came all the way to congratulate you on you finishing the path of stars and becoming the seventh Son of the Stars. I didn’t tell you right away because I saw that you were busy selecting incantations and I didn’t want to interrupt you. He’s waited a day now. So why don’t you go see him first?”
Nie Tian’s expression flickered. “Huang Jinnan?!”
“He said he fought alongside you in the Shatter Battlefield,” Tao Jin said discretely.
Nie Tian nodded. “Yeah, we met in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range and fought battles together...”
After a moment of pondering, Nie Tian gave up on the idea of selecting records of wood power incantations, and signaled for Tao Jin to show him the way.
“He was arranged to rest in one of our guest residences. I’ll inform him that we’re going to him right now.” With these words, Tao Jin took out a Sound Stone, whispered something into it, and then led Nie Tian out of the Records Pavilion.
Hundreds of disciples who were flying into and out of the Records Pavilion cast curious gazes towards him.
“Follow me.” Tao Jin flew lightly through the huge gate on the ground floor.
Nie Tian cleared his throat, and instead of flying after him with his awkward flying skills, he summoned the Star Boat.
As soon as the Star Boat appeared, almost everyone present realized that he must be the seventh Son of the Stars.
Star Boats were extremely precious air-transportation spiritual tools. Even the elders of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace didn’t have any of their own.
The fact that this unfamiliar-looking man had a Star Boat in his possession proved that he must be a Son of the Stars.
Tao Jin’s expression didn’t change in the slightest as he continued to fly forward at a medium speed. Nie Tian, however, followed along on his Star Boat.
Aside from the Fragmentary Star Palace and four main buildings, there were also a large number of cultivation rooms, battlefields, equipment forging labs, and other designated cultivation-related areas in Fragmentary Star City.
Since a marvelous grand spell formation was unceasingly gathering the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from its surroundings, the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the city was nearly ten times richer than in any other region in the Realm of Fragmentary Star.
Therefore, it would be much easier for Qi warriors to practice cultivation and seek breakthroughs in Fragmentary Star City.
The most important thing was that Fragmentary Star City kept channeling star power from the vast starry river, causing bits of starlight to fall out of the heavens day and night.
Because of this, those who practiced star power incantations wouldn’t have to rely on Star Stones to make rapid progress in their cultivation.
Many of the stone palaces and pavilions in Fragmentary Star City had been used to reward those who had made exceptional contributions to the sect.
Those people would not only have the privilege to live in the city themselves, but they could also invite their family and friends to live with them. With the unusually rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in Fragmentary Star City, their family and friends would also be able to make rapid advances in cultivation.
Even for disciples of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, very few of them could have a palace or pavilion of their own in Fragmentary Star City.
The headquarters of ancient powers like the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace were probably the most secure places there were. It was almost impossible that outsider invasions would happen in these places.
