Chapter 968: The Star Behemoth (2/2)

It consisted of two parallel continents.

Demons, Phantasms, Fiends, Floragrims, and other powerful outsiders had once lived on the top continent, while the bottom continent used to be home to enormous creatures such as Ancientbeasts.

An ultimate war had broken out between the two continents.

As a result, the outsider alliance had been defeated and forced to leave their home, as the top continent had fallen apart and become numerous floating lands that drifted around.

On the bottom continent, he had been to an island surrounded by a black sea, where he had communicated with a mysterious soul awareness that seemed to have come from the depths of the black sea.

That soul awareness had told him that it had some sort of agreement with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace...

“Elder Wei, I accidentally entered a mysterious dimension through a spatial rift in the Realm of Split Void years ago,” Nie Tian said with a thoughtful expression. “It was made up of two parallel continents. On the bottom continent, I received help from and had a brief communication with an ancient awareness.

“It told me that it had some kind of agreement with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.”

After hearing Nie Tian’s words, the four elders in the hall exchanged a glance, meaningful expressions appearing on their faces.

Wei Lai nodded and said with a faint smile, “Hmm. I didn’t know that you’d been there. It’s exactly what you’re thinking. In the depths of that black sea resides a Star Behemoth, and it has made a deal with our sect.”

Nie Tian gasped with astonishment. “It was a living Star Behemoth?!”

“Yes, it’s alive, but it’s usually dormant and won’t move around.” Wei Lai’s expression suddenly grew stern. “But this is top secret. You can’t tell anyone about it.”

“I understand,” Nie Tian said.

Then, Wei Lai turned to Zhu Yun and said, “Why don’t you run some tests on this bone to determine if you can forge it into an Immortal grade artifact weapon?”

Zhu Yun nodded and left with the bone.

Wei Lai pondered for a moment before saying, “I want to have a few words with Nie Tian.”

The other three elders then walked out of the spacious hall as well.

Then, Wei Lai asked, “What’s your relationship with that Pei Qiqi, who’s also from the Domain of the Falling Stars?”

Instead of answering, Nie Tian asked a series of questions. “Senior Martial Sister Pei? Why do you ask? Is she okay?”

“She’s fine,” Wei Lai said. “The sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society found her and took her back to their sect. Like you, she’s also a hybrid. Her bloodline carries the profound truths of spatial power. Now that she has gained a Heaven Nourished grade spatial treasure, the sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society has decided to take her in as a legacy disciple.

“Not many people know about this, even among disciples of the Void Spirit Society.”

“What about Zhao Shanling then?” Nie Tian asked. “Did they find him too?”

“Zhao Shanling turned down the Void Spirit Society’s offer and vanished,” Wei Lai said. “The sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society wasn’t as interested in him. Zhao Shanling’s only connection with the Void Spirit Society is that Voidspirit Pagoda. Neither his cultivation talent nor his potential match Pei Qiqi’s. The sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society didn’t even feel the need to get into a fight with him, so he just let him be.”

Nie Tian felt genuinely happy for Pei Qiqi. “I can’t believe my senior martial sister has already become a legacy disciple of the sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society. This is exciting news.”

A complicated expression appeared on Wei Lai’s face as he fixed his eyes on Nie Tian. “But unlike you, your senior martial sister has focused on spatial power. Adding in the fact that her bloodline carries the profound truths of spatial power, I’m afraid no one throughout the Void Spirit Society can match her potential. As far as I know, she entered the Soul realm soon after joining the Void Spirit Society, and her cultivation is progressing rapidly with each passing day.”

“My senior martial sister and I went through thick and thin together. We’re very close.” Nie Tian finally answered Wei Lai’s question.

“That’s for the best,” Wei Lai said. “Perhaps she’ll be of great help when you compete for the position of Lord of the Stars in the future.”

Afterwards, Wei Lai told Nie Tian that Zhu Yun would go find him after she finished examining that bone from a Star Behemoth.

The results of her examination would be recorded in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s knowledge vault. Nie Tian would also be rewarded with a fitting amount of contribution points.

“Alright, you may go back and resume cultivation now. Our sect may have a task for you soon, so be prepared.”

“Okay.”
