Chapter 999: Repor (1/2)

Through pondering the bone’s unique feature, Nie Tian came to brand new understandings of the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Frowning, Nie Tian said, “It seems that I have to leave it in the starry river if I want it to grow.

“However, even though this entire region has been forgotten for many years, it’s hard to say whether some powerful races will stumble into it or not. If they see this bone, they’ll definitely be amazed by it, and think up every possible method to take it away.

“Since it’s way too important to me, and I’ve spent a significant amount of Blood Essence on it, I can’t allow anyone to take it away.”

He felt a headache over the tough situation.

It was clearly not good for its development if he put it back into his ring of holding and carried it around.

However, if instead of carrying it around, he left it in the starry river, someone might discover it and take it away. If that happened, wouldn’t all of the efforts he had made be in vain?

After pondering for a long time, he decided to leave it there with a guardian.

Since it would be on a dead star exposed in the starry river, the guardian should preferably be at the Void domain, and not attempt to make breakthroughs in his cultivation in the near future.

Furthermore, with enough spirit stones and spiritual materials, a Void domain guardian would be able to practice cultivation the same way he did in other places.

He soon determined the best person for the job. “Fan Kai!”

Fan Kai from the Heaven Palace Sect had just broken through into the early Void domain. It would take him a long time to cultivate to the point where he was ready for his next breakthrough.

Besides, he had opened his eyes to reality and sworn allegiance to him since he had rescued him from the Domain of Endless Snow.

After determining the candidate, he teleported back to the Domain of the Falling Stars. Fan Kai went to see him as soon as he was summoned.

After meeting him, Nie Tian took him back to the dead star and charged him with the task of guarding the bone. If anyone were to pass through this area, he should hide it until they left.

In return, he promised Fan Kai that if he needed any spiritual materials to break through into the middle Void domain in the future, he would help him get them through the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

Fan Kai agreed to Nie Tian’s arrangement without hesitation.

Now, with the bone taken care of, Nie Tian returned to the Realm of Fragmentary Star to report the result of his mission, but before he did, Duan Shihu and Jing Rou found him, and Jing Rou handed him a list.

It was a list of the rare spiritual materials Jing Feiyang needed for his breakthrough.

After grabbing it, Nie Tian teleported to the Vast Heaven Pavilion and walked out without delay.

...

In the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s headquarters.

“That’s everything that happened.” Standing in front of elder Wei Lai, Nie Tian finished explaining everything that had happened during the time he had spent on the floating continent in detail.

After hearing his words, Wei Lai said, looking deeply amazed. “I can’t believe Hazlitt the Flame Maniac actually broke through into the middle ninth grade shortly after entering that floating continent. Luckily for you, you ran into two Ancientbeasts. Otherwise, you could have been in some serious trouble.”

Nie Tian listened in silence.

“According to the information we received from the floating continent, those outsiders were led by someone at the early ninth grade,” Wei Lai said with a thoughtful look in his eyes. “Having to deal with two middle ninth grade experts, the Flame Maniac and the Controller, simultaneously, you were in a seriously dangerous situation there. I think we need to reevaluate this mission. Five hundred thousand contribution points doesn’t seem to be a fair amount now.”

Nie Tian’s eyes lit up with delight.

He had taken a quick look at the list of spiritual materials Jing Feiyang needed. He hadn’t even heard of some of them.

Therefore, he had worried that he didn’t have enough contribution points in his Star Medallion to purchase the spiritual materials he needed for his breakthrough.

Now, he felt truly delighted upon hearing that they were going to reevaluate the mission and increase the contribution points for completing it.

“Would you wait here for a moment?” With these words, Wei Lai walked through the hall gate to summon the other on-duty elders to discuss this matter.

It wasn’t very long before he returned. “Congratulations. We’ve reevaluated your mission on the floating continent, and raised the reward to eight hundred thousand contribution points.

“So with your initial hundred thousand contribution points, and the fifty thousand you got for having that Star Behemoth bone examined, you now have a total of nine hundred and fifty thousand contribution points.

“You’re free to use them to purchase all sorts of spiritual materials, spiritual tools, and medicinal pills from the sect. And your subordinates can use them to borrow all kinds of incantation records from the Records Pavilion.”

With a hearty smile, Nie Tian handed the list to him and said, “Jing Feiyang, the current sectmaster of the Divine Seal Sect, is looking forward to breaking through into the middle Saint domain. These are the spiritual materials he needs. Would you take a look and see if we have all the things on this list?”
