Chapter 1124: Powerful Experts Gathering (1/2)

Nie Tian froze.

Dong Li asked him about it, only to find him seemingly caught up in thought. Therefore, she stopped and waited in silence.

“It doesn’t suit me...” Nie Tian thought to himself.

The Heavenly Stellar Stream was an Immortal grade divine tool. When it had flown closer, every Son of the Stars present had felt a stir in the fragmentary star marks in their chests, and the star souls in their seas of awareness.

He was no exception.

He had assumed that if the other Sons of the Stars had stayed out of it and let him establish a connection with it by relying on his fragmentary star marks and star power incantations, it would have been easy to accomplish.

However, it turned out that the Heavenly Stellar Stream had chosen Sikong Cuo instead of him.

“The grand elder has been helping me in secret since I joined the sect. He wouldn’t trick me.” Nie Tian thought to himself. “Since he pointed out that the Heavenly Stellar Stream doesn’t suit me, perhaps it just doesn’t. But the problem is that it’s an Immortal grade divine tool. What does Sikong Cuo have that can possibly match its value?”

After pondering for a long while, Nie Tian finally whispered, “I trust you. Please make arrangements as you see fit.”

“Good.” Mo Heng responded in a soul voice.

Only then did Nie Tian open his eyes. He took a look at Dong Li and said, “Come on. Let’s get out of here. We can come back in a few days for Grand Elder Mo’s duel.”

They went below decks to the teleportation portal, and teleported to the Realm of Remote Heaven.

Upon arriving, Nie Tian found a secluded room in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s private section, where he rested and told Dong Li about Mo Heng’s plan.

Confused, Dong Li asked, “Is the grand elder on your side?”

“Yeah, he’s been taking care of me the whole time,” Nie Tian said. After a moment of hesitation, he added, “Besides, he seems to have a complicated connection with my father, whom I’ve never met.”

“He knows your father?” Dong Li exclaimed in astonishment.

Nie Tian smiled bitterly. “Let’s not talk about that now. I need to recover my strength as soon as possible.”

With these words, he took out a ring of holding that he had just received from Hou Chulan and Huang Jinnan. From within it, he took out several eighth grade Ancientbeast and outsider corpses.

He had consumed a significant amount of power, along with ten drops of Blood Essence, in his battle against Ophelia.

He had to recover them within the shortest time possible.

After all, he planned to be there when the duel between Mo Heng and Grand Monarch Primal Demon took place, so that he could witness how magnificent and breathtaking the clash between outsider and human peak experts would be.

...

In the Dead Star Sea.

Sikong Cuo, the sixth Son of the Stars, flew to the berthed ancient starship to find a secret cabin below decks, where he gathered power in an attempt to separate the Heavenly Stellar Stream from him.

As Fang Yuan had said, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to give the Heavenly Stellar Stream up.

WHOOSH!

Like a ghost, Mo Heng’s blurry soul shadow suddenly appeared in the room.

Sikong Cuo’s expression flickered as he saw it. He hastily rose to his feet and said respectfully, “Greetings, Grand Elder.”

Even though he had always been self-conceited, he felt great pressure facing Mo Heng, who had defeated Grand Monarch Bloodlust immediately after entering the middle God domain, and then challenged Grand Monarch Primal Demon to a duel.

“Don’t separate the Heavenly Stellar Stream from you just yet,” Mo Heng said softly.

Ecstasy appeared in Sikong Cuo’s eyes as he asked, “What do you mean, Grand Elder?”

“I talked to Nie Tian, and he’s agreed to let you have it,” Mo Heng said. “Plus, you’re the one who’s most suited for the Heavenly Stellar Stream.”

Sikong Cuo gradually calmed down from his ecstasy. He pondered for a moment, then asked, “What am I supposed to give him in return? The Heavenly Stellar Stream is an Immortal grade divine tool. I’ve already felt its wonders. I really can’t think of anything I have that can match its value.”

Mo Heng nodded. “You’re right. You don’t, but vice sectmaster Luo has a few things, whose combined value can match the Heavenly Stellar Stream’s.”
