BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1410: A Gift
He had assumed that the Void World had only seen one transcendent figure in its long history, which was Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit.
Who would have thought that Pei Qiqi would accidentally learn of the existence of two other patriarchs that were just as illustrious from the memory imprints the Voidspirits had left in the portal?
All three of them had transcended the limits of the tenth grade!
Luckily, the three of them hadn’t lived in the same time period. Otherwise, wouldn’t the Spirit World and Mortal World have fallen long ago?
“I still have a long way to go with my bloodline and cultivation.”
Nie Tian felt somewhat rueful as he slowly forced himself to calm down.
Then, he activated his void domain.
Dazzling stars filled the outermost parts of his spherical illusory domain, while an exuberant illusory land floated at the core, and flames filled the space in between.
As soon as his domain came to form, he activated Primal Chaos to envelop himself in a mysterious magnetic field, which then took it upon itself to absorb star, flame, and wood power from the Seven Stars Realm Sea, along with flesh aura.
He started to realize how truly special he was.
The three major races of the Void World had entrusted the Voidspirits to build the Seven Stars Realm Sea, which gathered and stored all sorts of energies. No one he knew could absorb power from it like he could.
They couldn’t even reach the bottom of the sea unscathed.
Even Pei Qiqi, who carried a Voidspirit bloodline, could only obtain tiny fragments of spatial power from the depths of the sea.
That was it.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Flesh power that carried unique auras were channeled by his bloodline talent Life Drain, and fused into him like multicolored raindrops.
Through the refinement of his bloodline, wisps of flesh aura that were from Ancientspirits and outsiders were taken into his heart.
Thanks to the nourishment of those flesh auras and the wonders of Heavenly Wood Heal, his cracked crystallized bones grew back and reattached themselves.
CRACK! CRACK!
Crisp cracking sounds that only he could hear came from all over his body.
Time passed bit by bit...
After an unknown period of time, Nie Tian felt that he had finally recovered from the injuries the female Devil had inflicted on him in the Void World, which had almost killed him.
He even felt stronger than before.
Then, instead of leaving, he remained in the depths of the Seven Stars Realm Sea, where he continued to channel wisps of flesh power from the sea.
After all, other than the Seven Stars Realm Sea, he couldn’t find another sustainable source of flesh power.
He concentrated on practicing cultivation.
His bloodline was at the eighth grade. The amount of flesh power he needed to advance to the ninth grade was astronomical.
Now, he had finally found a blessed land with seemingly endless flesh power. How could he give up this opportunity?
During this time, his domain also took upon itself to absorb star, wood, and flame power at a slow rate. Even his sea of awareness slowly accumulated soul power.
Before he knew it, six months passed.
Nie Tian had spent all this time practicing cultivation in the depths of the Seven Stars Realm Sea.
Meanwhile, God domain experts such as Mo Qianfan, Yu Suying, and Ji Yuanquan, along with Nie Tian’s Saint domain subordinates, including Jing Feiyang, Master Blood Spirit, and Xie Qian, had been summoned to join the bitter battle against the outsiders and Ancientspirits in the Domain of Heaven Span, where the Heaven Span Pavilion’s headquarters sat.
Dong Li, Li Langfeng, and a few others were the only ones that remained over the Seven Stars Realm Sea.
Even Pei Qiqi had returned to the Void Spirit Society to seek breakthroughs in her bloodline after deriving new enlightenment from the spatial power left within that portal.
On one of the seven dead stars that surrounded the Seven Stars Realm Sea.
Enveloped in pure darkness, Dong Li took out a soul crystal and started absorbing the pure soul power within it.
The black tortoise crouched lazily on the ground next to her. Every once in a while, it would lift its chin to take an enjoyable breath of the dark aura Dong Li exuded.
That dark aura seemed to contain power that could help it grow stronger.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Dong Li suddenly rose to her feet.
Endless darkness rapidly spread into her surroundings, devouring all light.
The ninth grade black tortoise, which was stronger than most outsider grand patriarchs, seemed to sense something, as it suddenly expanded to assume its true form.
At the same time, the darkness faded, revealing Dong Li, who was wearing a black dress embroidered with gold, which gave her a devilish and mysterious look. At first glance, she looked even more gorgeous than Agatha, the female Devil Nie Tian had met in the Void World.
“Void domain... This is how the Void domain feels...”
Muttering, she suddenly unleashed her dark domain, enveloping everything around her in utter darkness.
“Come on out!”
The dark stone she had refined into her spiritual sea was summoned. As it flew out, a thrilling aura enshrouded the entire dead star, as if to plunge it into eternal darkness.
The black tortoise let out anxious shrieks.
Alarmed, Dong Li exclaimed with a stern look in her eyes, “Who is it?”
Feng Beiluo from the Heavenly Corpse Sect took his time to walk out from behind a huge irregularly-shaped rock in the distance. “It’s me.”
He wasn’t followed by his elaborately-refined Heavenly Corpses, but rather a small woman with a veil covering her face.
The woman was fairly short and thin, and dressed in a long grayish-brown robe. The veil she was wearing had many gems on it. Each and every one of them was extremely valuable and useful. Some could be used to strengthen souls. Some could be used to stabilize cultivation bases. Some could be used to magnify the might of divine tools, while others could be used to improve mobility.
As the person who spoke for Nie Tian and ran his three domains for him, Dong Li was experienced and knowledgeable. Even so, she could only recognize one of the gems, which was the size of a grain of rice.
It was called a Soul-shaping Crystal.
Soul-shaping Crystals could only be found in Phantasm heaven and earths. Any Void, Saint, or God domain expert could benefit from them, as they could help them stabilize their cultivation bases within a short period of time after their breakthroughs.
As long as they wore them like jewelry, they would be able to stabilize their cultivation bases speedily after every breakthrough they made in their cultivation. They might even help them better understand the wonders of their domains.
Even though that Soul-shaping Crystal was as small as a grain of rice, it was probably many times more valuable than a realm like the Realm of Divine Seal.
Feng Beiluo, who had walked out first, stepped to the side after the woman came out. He bowed and waited as the woman stepped forward.
Both his manners and expression were full of respect.
Taken aback, Dong Li thought to herself, “That’s a Soul-shaping Crystal. I haven’t even seen the other gems on her veil before.”
Her expression grew grim as she noticed the way Feng Beiluo treated her. She started to wonder if she should send messages to summon Nie Tian’s Saint domain subordinates.
She was worried that Feng Beiluo and the woman she didn’t know had come for Nie Tian.
“You’re Dong Li, right?” The seemingly delicate woman asked, her voice as silky and soothing as creeks running through mountains.
For some reason, Dong Li felt calmed upon hearing her voice, and didn’t send out any messages.
“Yes, I’m Dong Li.”
A warm smile filled the woman’s eyes as she said, “I’ve long since heard about you. I know a lot about you. You’re a good girl.”
Baffled, Dong Li asked, “Who are you?”
“Well, I’m not your enemy,” the woman said, smiling. “I’m here to give you something.”
“Give me something?” Dong Li was full of questions.
The woman nodded. “Yes, something that agrees with you perfectly. I didn’t give it to you until now because you hadn’t entered the Void domain. Now that you’re at the Void domain, you can truly put the power within that dark stone from the Void World to use.”
Dong Li’s expression flickered with astonishment. “You know about the Void World too?”
“Of course.” The woman smiled and turned to give Feng Beiluo, who was standing behind her, a signaling look.
Feng Beiluo nodded. Then, he carefully took out a black iron box that was engraved with exquisite patterns and handed it to Dong Li. “This is yours now.”
Dong Li frowned and asked, “What’s inside of it? It’s not dangerous, is it?”
At this moment, the black tortoise suddenly became restless, and couldn’t stop wiggling, as if it were urging her to accept what was in the box.
Dong Li was even more baffled.
That was when she suddenly sensed changes in the dark stone within her.
“Hmm?!” An exclamation escaped Dong Li’s mouth as she pointed at the black iron box and asked, “Does the thing inside this box have something to do with my dark stone?”
With a smile, the mysterious woman nodded and said, “It’s yours now.”
“Cherish it,” Feng Beiluo said, and then went back to waiting, bowing his head.
Without saying another word, the woman turned around and walked away. Soon, she disappeared behind the large irregularly shaped rock with Feng Beiluo, without leaving the slightest aura in the air.
Dong Li was at a loss. “Who in the world is she? Why would she give me a gift for no reason?”
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t see why a woman who Feng Beiluo served so carefully would suddenly show up and give her a gift.
Feng Beiluo, the current sectmaster of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, held a lofty position among the so-called crooked sects.
Plus, he was at the God domain. With the help of his fierce Heavenly Corpses, he might be able to defeat Mo Qianfan, Yu Suying, and Ye Wenhan single-handedly.
WHOOSH!
Like a shadow, the mysterious woman appeared above the surface of the Seven Stars Realm Sea with Feng Beiluo.
With a gentle look in her eyes, she looked down, and could vaguely see Nie Tian in the depths, gathering different powers to strengthen his bloodline and seek new advances in his cultivation. “It won’t be too long.”
“He’s become even stronger,” Feng Beiluo said.
In the next moment, the two of them vanished from above the Seven Stars Realm Sea, as if they had never been there.
The water level of Seven Stars Realm Sea had slowly dropped over the past six months.
All sorts of energies constituted the water that made up the sea. The fact that a portion of it was gone meant the loss of those energies.
