BXBX NOVEL Chapter 466 - 460: Heavenly Stardust
David Jones rubbed his temples, which still had lingering traces of pain, and couldn’t help but get up and stretch lazily.
Feeling the weight in front of him, David Jones looked down at Daphne and Rainbow, who were sound asleep on his chest, and glanced with semi-closed eyes at the Gluttonous Beast dutifully keeping watch by his side. The corners of his mouth tugged upward slightly.
Next, Jones didn’t exert any Confusion. Instead, he took a step in mid-air, allowing his body to defy gravity and float freely in the sky.
“It’s not a hallucination after all! After steppping into the Yellow Ranked Spiritual Realm, my control over Arcane Force is similar to that of a King Beastmaster. The complicated control over the Arcane Force only needs a thought from me, I can experiement with it freely.”
Jones flicked a finger, manipulating the fire-type Arcane Force around him to directly condense an extremely small fireball that launched towards the door of the cultivation room.
“Boom!”
Looking at the still intact door, Jones shook his head.
“Compared with the innate flame that’s connected to the Afterglow Array, the attack generated solely by the heaven and earth’s Arcane Energy is weak.
This power to control Arcane Force from the heavens and earth can bully weak pets, it’s useless against Beasts of the same rank. No wonder even King Beastmasters are unwilling to personally fight with Beasts, it’s too dangerous!” Having said that, Jones opened his palm and a spotless white ice bullet floated above it, and then shattered to form a small black ball. It then changed into a small space ball that seemed to contain the heaven and earth…
Perhaps it’s because of the Beast Taming Contract, no matter the strength of Jones manipulating gold, water, earth and lightning-type Arcane Forces, they are no match for the strength of the attribute-type Arcane Forces that are in unity with the three pet’s attributes.
At this moment, feeling the two pets shake slightly, obviously pretending to sleep in his arms, David Jones couldn’t help but smile.
He reached out his hand and tickled Rainbow and Daphne’s chins, making them laugh as they opened their eyes.
After frolicking for a while, Jones tapped his finger on the screen of the cultivation room, choosing to check out and embark on another adventure. “Left? He’s gone!”
Watching David Jones’s figure disappearing, the Illusionary Dragon smacked its lips and lowered its head, choosing to continue its daily routine of slumber. But, for some reason, it couldn’t fall asleep.
The fifth layer of the Inheritance Trial, David Jones came to this place that left a deep impression on him.
“I hope my guess is right!”
David Jones looked up at bright stars hanging in the sky, all his energy focused, beginning to undergo his Calm Mind process according to the content of the trial.
One minute later, the obscuringly large star arrived on schedule, with an overwhelming force, it plummeted directly towards Jones’s location.
Everything evaporated and vanished into thin air when the star passed.
In the face of this terrifying scene of destruction, Jones didn’t even raise his eyelids as if the fallen star was nothing more than a pebble easily shattered. “BOOM!”
Heavenly Stardust fell to the ground, the light from the explosive flames spilled out from where David Jones stood, like a nuclear explosion, smoke and dust instantly consumed the sky as the mushroom cloud of dust slowly rose from the ground.
Situated at the center of the explosion, with flames raging all around, there wasn’t any panic in Jones’s eyes. Instead, he gave off a sense of calm and satisfaction, as if he had seen through everything.
His guess wasn’t wrong. Only when the participant’s Spirit Realm steps into Yellow Ranked Spiritual Realm can they ignore the damage brought by the Heavenly Stardust.
He would no longer be left dizzy with stars in his eyes from the shockwave of the Heavenly Stardust’s descent, as before when passing the level, nor would there be a risk it could degrade his Arcane Star.
However, every advantage has its disadvantage. While David Jones was immune to the damage from the Heavenly Stardust, he discovered that the previous enhancing effect of the Arcane Star on his trials had also completely vanished.
Fifteen minutes later, as the star-like raindrops all dispersed, David Jones successfully passed the level.
Next, under David Jones’ curious gaze, a spattering of brilliant light fell from the star-studded galaxies. He quickly reached out to catch it.
[Heavenly Stardust]: Level 6 SS tier Stars-series Beast Taming resource, rumour has it that each star resembles a small world, and the Heavenly Stardust is the last ember of such a small world.
[Instructions for use]: Put the Heavenly Stardust on the head of a pet that matches the astro attribute, which can add an extra Astro type to the pet. For pets that already possess astro attributes, their compatibility will greatly increase.
Note: There is a likelihood that the Magic Core of pets that are not compatible with the Astro attribute will shatter, causing the pet to explode and perish.
After using his Illusion-Piercing Eye to review the information, David Jones quickly put the brilliance in his hand into the Star Ring for safekeeping.
As the saying goes, time is money, space is king.
As a unique type of Arcane Force, the astro type, although not as rare as the Once in a Blue Moon Space type and Time type, is on par with the Dark, Light, and Dragon types, it is indeed a powerful type that surpasses the Five Elements.
Therefore, despite the Heavenly Stardust’s rank being only a level six SS tier, its practical value and potential impact are absolutely on par with a level 7 epic Beast Taming resource, and even slightly exceeding it.
“What’s the difference between this Buddha Tower and a god of wealth!”
David Jones sighed, then asked the Artifact Spirit of the Beast Refining Tower about his current ranking.
“Your current total rank is one thousand one hundred and fifty, and you are the top of the Buddha List (for the year).”
David Jones nodded slightly, gaining a deeper understanding of the rosewood College’s extravagance.
Even if calculated with the absolute minimum, from ancient times to present, Rosewood college must have given out at least one thousand one hundred and fifty level 6 resources, in addition to the resources given from the previous third and fourth trials, undoubtedly a considerable fortune that would make even a small country envious.
But the reality differs from what David Jones had imagined. Not all challengers received as many rewards as he did.
The Buddha Tower assigns a challenge level to the challengers based on various factors such as their age, cultivation, Pet Potential, etc. The higher the challenger level, the more substantial the reward after passing the level.
Daivd Jones was rated by the Beast Refining Tower to have exceptional potential, this allowed him to obtain maximum rewards each time he passed a level.
If all challengers received the same reward, then the Beast Refining Tower would have gone bankrupt long ago due to expenditure exceeding income.
However, David Jones, who wasn’t aware of this, full of expectation, stepped into the portal’s passage leading to the sixth level of the Inheritance Trial.
Yes, after breaking through the fifth level of the Inheritance Trial, David Jones did not intend to stop. Instead, he wanted to challenge his limits and close the gap between himself and his Teacher and sister.
Besides, another reason is that after the Inheritance Trial ends, he would start a long period of seclusion.
To prevent being overtaken and losing the free access to the ninth-floor practice room of the Buddha Tower, David Jones needed to establish a significant lead in the rankings to keep the others at bay.
Therefore, David Jones set his goal at level 7 of the trials, just as his teacher did.
At that moment, the portal process ended. A dazzling light erupted, followed by a deafening thunder. David Jones instinctively opened his eyes.
In the distance, an ancient forest bathed in the aura of thunder was exuding a mysterious vibe.
