BXBX NOVEL Chapter 595 Research
In the following three months, Nial collected resources while traveling through the remaining planets in the stellar system.
He found many precious materials filled with mana and elemental attributed mana, even fruits and flowers that were adorned with unique effects.
Collecting all these resources took an eternity. They were also the reason why he took so long to finish sweeping through the remaining planets. Of course, there were also a few different matters he had to attend to, such as subduing a bunch of beasts to test out if they would be of any help for his escape out of this stellar system.
Unfortunately, most beasts were kind of useless, including a squirrel with an extremely powerful spatial affinity. He had still subdued the space squirrel but he was not yet sure how to make use of this little beast\'s strong affinity. The squirrel\'s affinity was not strong enough to teleport him to the adjacent stellar system but it was strong enough to move him from one planet to another. It could even transport him from one side of the stellar system to the other.
Nial had yet to test the squirrel\'s limits but he had actually other things to pay more attention to.
\'Can I replicate the function of a spatial portal with the materials I have?\' Nial wondered while retrieving a few pieces of each kind of material he had gotten his hands on since he arrived here and the things he had already stashed in his spatial rings before.
Since he had many spatial rings and he had been focused on improving his proficiency as an Archmaster Runicier, some of his spatial rings were filled with runic solutions, books from highly renowned Runiciers, and all kinds of precious materials.
There were also more than five hundred runic armaments altogether in all spatial rings. The runic solutions may be useful but Nial could tell that he would have to create a new batch of runic solutions for specific purposes. Under normal circumstances, a bunch of Alchemists would create runic solutions according to his demands but that was not possible right now.
The Devil Roc was not exactly a Grandmaster Alchemist, no less a Grandmaster Blacksmith.
The more Nial thought about it the better he could grasp his situation. There weren\'t any helpful civilizations in the entire stellar system even though most planets had a pretty decent amount of resources beneath the surface. Collecting everything would probably take decades, if not more than a century.
Nial didn\'t have that much time to spare for collecting other stuff. He would rather force others to collect and do certain things for him because he was simply not up for it. Most of the time it was menial tasks that wasted his time needlessly.
Unfortunately, he couldn\'t tell others to research the materials in his possession down to the finest detail before reporting to him. No one in his reach had the intelligence, knowledge, and experience of an appraiser. Furthermore, Nial was not actually sure what he was looking for while researching the materials in his possession.
He was just trying to find enlightenment during the research in order to find a smooth ride back to Jundra. Once he found an intelligent civilization with a connection to a bigger pool of people he could find out more about the Origin and how to get back home as quickly as possible.
Of course, that required him to still be in the same Universe as before. There may be some materials he found that were similar to some ores and plants he had perceived and visualized in Jundra, Yggdrasil, and the Golden City, but there were minor if not major differences in each and every plant and ore.
His perception was close to perfect when it came to objects that naturally amassed mana. It was not difficult for him to tell whether a particular ore was of the same type as another, and that was not the case with the resources he had collected during the last three months. Being similar didn\'t mean that they were the same!
Furthermore, there was no worldbridge, no dungeon, and no civilization in the entire stellar system even though there were two big planets and one rather small planet that was under the influence of mana. According to the cultivation progress of some beasts, it must have been quite a while since the planets had been influenced by mana as well.
They may not have awakened planetary mana cores because they didn\'t seem to possess them in the first place, but that was not actually a problem. After all, the entire space was overflowing with highly purified and compressed mana. The moment one reached the Keltia rank, it was possible to enter space and cultivate in the space, accelerating the entire advancement progress tenfold if not more!
Nial also thought about cultivating for a few years in space because he could clearly tell that his darkness domain could spread through space and that it wouldn\'t be much of a difficulty to exert the Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique throughout the entire darkness domain.
Expanding his darkness domain further while continuing to exert the Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique would inevitably accelerate his progress as well. He knew that not even Jundra was currently in possession of the same pure and compressed mana as he found here in space.
It was almost as if the entire space of the stellar system had never been touched and the mana inside it had simply amassed over the course of eons. The space\'s mana was extremely pure, and compressed which made him feel that it was ancient enough to have the weight of hundreds of thousands of years weighing it down.
However, even if he were to advance to the Mythician rank in the next few years thanks to the extraordinary mana that had amassed in this stellar system, it was not as if it would provide him an accurate answer to the biggest question in his mind: how to leave this stellar system without spending decades traveling through space aimlessly, not knowing when he would find the next star system.
With that in mind, Nial chose to start his research first. Once he got a solution, he could start cultivation once again. That was better for the cultivation progress, either way!
