Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace

### History and Background

As one of the four great human powers, the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had more subordinate forces and affiliated domains than they could count.

Every few years, they would take in disciples and teach them secret magics and profound incantations.

First, they would select youngsters with extraordinary talent who met their criteria from their subordinate forces.

Every time they took in disciples, a grand gathering would be held. Tens of thousands of youngsters would participate. However, less than one percent of them would actually pass their tests and be taken in as their disciples.

Even though the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace would take in numerous disciples with every admission gathering, very few of them would eventually rise above the others and become Sons of the Stars.

Sometimes, dozens of admission gatherings would pass without even one youngster winning the acknowledgment of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s parliament of elders.

This was only one of the methods through which the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace took in disciples.

The other method was to pick Sons of the Stars directly.

Over hundreds of thousands of years, the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had attacked and seized many domains. For some reason, they had left some of them unattended, but some of those domains were still rather important to them, and they had other plans for them.

They knew that some special domains had the potential to produce figures with unlimited cultivation talent.

Therefore, they would leave Heaven Gates in those domains.

These Heaven Gates would open every few decades, or even centuries.

The participants of the Heaven Gate trials who could make it to the grand palace, collect all three fragmentary star marks, and merge the fragmentary star marks with themselves, would become a Son of the Stars directly, skipping the process of becoming regular disciples of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s mighty name was known throughout the starry river. Every disciple of this colossus enjoyed an enviable status.

Disciples are usually at the Worldly Realm and above, Deacons are at Spirit Realm, and Elders at Saint Realm.

There are four God Domain experts, the Grand Elder, the two Vice-Palace masters and the exalted Palace Master; peak God Domain expert!

The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace is a member of the four most powerful human organizations in the entire starry skies.

The phrase ‘one palace, one sect, one society, and one pavilion’ describes the four most ancient and powerful Qi warrior powers. The ‘one palace’ refers to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace; the ‘one sect’ refers to the Five Elements Sect; the ‘one society’ refers to the Void Spirit Society; the ‘one pavilion’ refers to the Heaven Span Pavilion.

The leadership of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace is divided into the sectmaster position known as the Lord Of The Stars, then two Vice-Sectmasters, a governing council of eleven elders and the Grand-Elder, (currently Mo Heng), and the Sons Of The Stars. Upon the death of the previous Lord Of The Stars, the remaining Vice-Sectmasters, Elders, and Sons Of The Stars all vote for one of the Sons Of The Stars to assume control of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and become the New Lord Of The Stars. This differs from the other three greatest human sects. In the Void Spirit Society the Sectmaster directy chooses the next Sectmaster with no opposition. In the Five Elements Sect each of the Divine Children of the elements will directly become the next head of that element (Earth, Wood, Metal, Fire, Water). And in the Heaven Span Pavillion the next head is chosen by the Sectmaster from among the Sectmasters adopted children, also refered to as Divine Children. This process of competition among the Sons Of The Stars, both overt and covert, has lead to brutal competition and scheming between the generations of Sons Of The Stars, and gives them a bad reputation among the other three leading human sects.

## Fragmentary Palace (Trial)

Only the chosen Qi warriors of the Heaven Gate Trial would be selected to enter the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace through Floating City.

The ceiling of the palace hall was extremely vast and the enormous palace hall was divided into 3 areas. Each area had Qi warriors of a single Heaven Stage.

The reason why Qi warriors seek the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace is to obtain Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace Legacy called Fragmentary Star Incantation which was dedicated to tempering one’s psychic power, or to be exact, it was a soul cultivating incantation.

The Legacy is divided into 3 parts and each part was located inside an area dedicated for Qi warriors of the 3 Heaven Stages.
