912 Magic-countering Constellation Part 1 (1/2)

When Saleen saw the wood carving of that monster, he was deflated. It was something created by mages to suck up all the rubbish in a room. Mages did not need equipment like that because they already had their cleaning spell. The was created for ordinary people and they were typically used in storage rooms or kitchens.

When Saleen saw starline papers in the storage room, he knew that the astrologers must be a group of very wealthy people.

”Master, we won't be able to find anything decent in this place. Let's go,” Nailisi nagged as she tried to urge Saleen into leaving. She felt uneasy staying in a place where astrologers dwelled, even though the was the place with the best environment in the entire Imperial City of the Abyss that far.

”No, we are safe here for now. We will leave only after the elemental stone statue soldiers have recovered. Soldier, deploy some low-level spirits of the dead to scout around this area. Nailisi, you will stay here.” Saleen wanted the winged skeleton to look around the residence to see if there were other things similar to the figure. Then, he took out the Star Gathering Needle and began to study it.

Saleen had used mental strength to enter the Goddess' necklace before so this was not entirely new to him. He held the Star Gathering Needle in his hands and his mental strength gradually seeped into it.

Saleen felt as if he had fallen into the middle of a sky full of stars and was surrounded by colorful nebulae and countless constellations orbiting around him. Saleen began to sense the power of the constellations directly. The power was extremely complex and was not as simple as elements. There was no way Saleen could completely analyze and understand it with his mental strength.

Saleen did not dare to expand his mental strength to explore because the dimension within the Star Gathering Needle was simple too massive. Saleen's instinct told him that if he fully utilized his mental strength, he would completely suck up the sky in the Needle. In order to resist that mysterious force of attraction within the constellations, he would have to merge his mental strength together.

Saleen's mental strength moved around slowly, searching for the core of the Star Gathering Needle. No matter how massive the dimension might be, there must be a core that was controlling all of it and that was something applicable even if an astrologer's techniques were unrelated to a mage's.

Saleen used the most foolish method to search for the core of the Needle. The powers of the constellations within the Needle were immense and could be found between each gigantic star cloud. There was a mysterious relationship between both of those entities. Saleen decided to start from that relationship as his mental strength gradually crept closer and closer to the core.

It was a cluster of black substance. When starlight entered, none could escape as they were all sucked in completely.

Saleen already possessed some understanding of souls, so he understood the relationship between mental strength and souls. He allowed his mental strength to be sucked into that cluster of black substance. As long as his mental strength was not dissipated, it would still be attracted to his soul and he could still return to his body.

The black substance existed in a massive space, but Saleen's mental strength was squeezed within a narrow passageway and entered the core of the black substance at an incredible speed. Within a frame of time, his mental strength had already been compressed to the maximum, so much so that there were almost signs of crystallization.

At that point in time, Saleen's mental strength began to transform once again. The Star Gathering Needle had allowed his mental strength to break through the limit of grade-9. Saleen had no idea which grade his mental strength was at.

It was a chaotic mass of star clouds. All sorts of strange substances were floating and spinning within the chaos. Some of them were breaking down just as other new substances were also being formed simultaneously. The conversion of energy took place constantly but without any consistency. Saleen's mental strength only experienced this for a moment before entering a space that was clean and pure.

There were 24 gigantic transparent crystals floating in that space. There were tens of thousands of words carved inside those transparent crystals. The words looked ancient and mysterious. They looked very similar to the ancient Myers language.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Saleen was immediately attracted to those 24 transparent crystals. Tens of thousands of words might sound like a lot, but those 24 transparent crystals were so massive that they would have been able to contain billions of words. The words were not carved on a flat surface. Instead, they were evenly spaced out and arranged in a way that resembled constellations.

Even if Saleen recognized the words, he had no idea where to begin.

”What wonderful objects!” Saleen thought to himself. All of a sudden, a powerful force that resonated between the soul and mental strength exploded and his soul pulled his mental strength out of the Star Gathering Needle instantaneously.

The force of attraction of the Needle might be powerful, but when Saleen's mental strength resonated with his soul, there was an explosive thundering sound. The sound was so massive that even the immense power within the Needle was unable to eliminate nor seal it. The rule of lightning had overpowered even the rule within the Needle.

It was clear that the Star Gathering Needle had yet to truly unleash its power as Saleen did not discover any core controlling the Needle when he was in there. The 24 gigantic transparent crystals were just lineages left behind by the owner of the Needle.

Even though Saleen was unable to find out how to control the Star Gathering Needle, he was not disappointed at all. Without the core that controlled the Needle, that meant that he would not have to deal with any problems left behind by the original owner. There was too much equipment that could be retrieved by its original owners because it possessed such a core.

”Master, how is it?” The winged skeleton was concerned. He saw Saleen's facial expression changing from joy to worry.
