Chapter 2725: Legend of the Stars, the True Three-Light Divine Water

~8 min read 1,435 words

The Naise Baojing had been submerged in the water for over a quarter of an hour without any strange phenomena appearing; Xia Duo could not help but feel a bit anxious, while simultaneously feeling fortunate that he hadn't boasted prematurely.

Fortunately, the evening sun was shining, and the shimmering surface of the Elemental Fountain pool was quite a sight to behold. Looking at this beautiful scenery, which he usually ignored, Xia Duo suddenly felt at ease.

If the Naise Baojing could be refined, it would indeed be a good thing, as it would help him study the Principles of Order Force, but if it could not be refined, there was still the Identity Token to use!

Having figured this out, Xia Duo's mood calmed down completely. He took a folding chair from his Personal Space, pulled Niya to sit down beside the Elemental Fountain, and quietly admired the scenery before them.

Niya was no longer dwelling on the mirror that had been tossed into the pool; she quietly leaned her head on Xia Duo's shoulder, as if she could not feel the passage of time.

Not everyone has the opportunity or the mood to appreciate winter scenery, but for a Spellcaster, mere cold could not pose any obstacle.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but the sun had already sunk halfway below the horizon, and the Elemental Fountain where Xiaduoniya were located was clearly not as bright as before.

But because the sun had temporarily withdrawn its brilliance, the moon and the stars were able to manifest. However, in the Main Plane's starry sky, the moon was fine—much the same as what Xia Duo had seen on Earth—only its surface lacked a single shadow, appearing entirely like white jade.

But the stars were too few. To call them "stars," in reality, only a little over a hundred were visible to the naked eye, and some required spells that enhanced vision to be seen clearly.

Those were far inferior to the scenes of the sky full of stars in Xia Shao's hometown.

I immediately realized that this strange phenomenon was likely the refining process of the Drow from before, and this unknown reaction made me feel somewhat uneasy.

Therefore, the night sky just before dawn only had a little over a hundred dim stars shining, which could be called the darkest moment of the entire day, excluding cloudy days, of course.

As for which situation it was, although the pearl that had just been transformed had disappeared, the Drow's refining had not yet ended; this was only part of the Drow's automatic refining process, and there was still the user's refining process afterward.

Moreover, the transformation time was also shorter.

There were even legends that believed certain ancient Elf heroes ascended to become stars, the most recent of which was an Elf hero who emerged during the Ruier invasion of the Listar Forest over a thousand years ago.

Looking in the direction of Niya's finger, the Drow was floating quietly in the water with its mirror face upward, and a dim light was shrouding the surface of the mirror. Xia Shao could not help but marvel at the sight.

Previously in the Projection Plane, the process of the Uweilun Court Mage demonstrating the Drow transforming into Divine Water was to transform it out of thin air when the sun was scorching, converting sunlight into a special kind of Element Water.

In this regard, the Netherese were far behind. On one hand, it was the invasion of Elf culture, and on the other, the Netherese rarely had people specifically studying astrology, let alone forming influence or creating legends.

Legend had it that this Elf lost all his relatives in the war of the Ruier invasion; he swore to kill all Ruier, and thereafter walked in the darkness, hunting down any Ruier he could see.

But now that the Divine Water had transformed into a pearl form, Xia Shao was not sure if that was truly a pearl form, or just a natural gathering state while floating underwater. In any case, that style of Divine Water was different from the three types of Divine Water he had seen in the Projection Plane.

But considering that this might be the closest opportunity for him to connect with the Eastern World, Xia Shao did not intervene but waited patiently. After about a quarter of an hour, the strange phenomena lingering around the Drow gradually disappeared.

Thus, to commemorate this nameless hero who brought hope to the people in the darkness, the Elves of the Listar Forest linked him to a star corresponding to the Listar Forest's field, calling him an incarnation of a star guarding the people.

……

The moon, like the sun, rose in the east and set in the west every day. Every time the sun set, the moon would rise from the east and would not set until just before dawn.

In the Naise Baojing, there were very, very few legends about the starry sky, but in the Elf World, there were many related legends—for example, a certain star represented good luck, and a certain star was an Elf's guardian star.

Xia Shao noted the time, preparing to pick a good time to come tomorrow so he wouldn't have to keep waiting here.

When introducing the Red Tail Star in the Naise Baojing field, Niya suddenly tugged at his arm and exclaimed, "Look, that mirror is glowing!"

It just possessed the form of water; its essence was still a burst of energy, or rather, the Critical State of energy turning into water. This Sunlight Divine Water could be drunk directly or integrated into water for more people to use.

The three types of Divine Water were each different, and even if mixed together, they merely combined the three effects rather than becoming a brand-new existence.

Just as Xia Shao was preparing to collect the pearl that was suspected to be the true Three-Light Divine Water droplet, the pearl suddenly disintegrated and quickly merged with the surrounding water, making it difficult to distinguish.

Moonlight and starlight were similar, only the time required for transformation was longer.

However, there was one point that was the same as on Earth: even during the day, one could observe the stars in the sky. The positions of those stars, regardless of whether it was night or day, remained largely unchanged.

As the light in the northwest sky gradually dimmed, the stars in the sky became more and more obvious, and Xia Shao sat there, telling Niya the Elf legends corresponding to each star against the starry sky.

Whether it was collected too late or something else, Xia Shao could not be sure, because everything happening now had already exceeded his expectations.

Seeing this situation, Xia Shao was shocked. The Three-Light Divine Water he had learned about in the Projection Plane was actually three types: Sunlight, Moonlight, and Starlight Divine Water, and their manifestations were not such pearls.

At least from Xia Shao's own intuitive feeling, that was the case; whether it changed specifically would require further comparative research of star observation records.

He speculated that either the Main Plane and the Projection Plane were different, so the transformed Divine Water was also different, or the three lights were refined together during the Drow's refining process to produce the true Three-Light Divine Water.

"This—"

Compared to Xia Shao, who was more focused on the essence of the strange phenomenon, he hadn't noticed more of the phenomenon's outward appearances for a moment, and it was Niya who reminded him, causing him to react—

At this moment, with my attention pulled back to the dark Drow, I had already noticed the unfamiliar Magic Net fluctuations around the mirror body; those fluctuations even caused some kind of unknown spatial change.

It was closer to transparent Element Water.

But at present, the Drow's refining process seemed to have produced some products that were completely different from what he knew.

There were many such legends; after all, the stars visible to the naked eye in the sky were limited, while the history of the Elves was very long, and most stars had more than one legend.

On the surface of the mirror, a pearl of mercury texture had actually condensed, but it looked closer to transparent, and like the dark Drow, it floated quietly in the water.

"Three-Light Divine Water?!"

Missed it today, come back tomorrow.

The Listar Forest was filled with his deeds, and such hunting lasted for hundreds of years, until the eve of the establishment of Keman, when that dark hunter suddenly disappeared.
