âYeah, exactly,â Jing Rou said with an admiring tone.
Nie Tian, a Son of the Stars that attracted universal attention, came from the Domain of the Falling Stars, along with Wu Ji, who was an expert in time power, and figures like Zhao Shanling and Hua Mu.
Cultivators who mastered the profundity of time power and at the same time, advanced to a high cultivation base, were very rare even in the Domain of Heaven Python.
Zhao Shanling, on the other hand, was confident that he would be able to advance to the Void domain before the Shatter Battlefield opened again.
He also planned to test his strength by killing the middle Void domain Xing Lifeng right after he entered the Void domain. His chances of success aside, just his audacious attitude greatly shook Jing Rou.
To be confident in his ability to kill a middle Void domain expert when he had just entered the early Void domain, how could this person be ordinary?
Li Muyang and Xing Huanyueâs advancements in cultivation had previously been limited by the environment in the Realm of a Thousand Devastations.
They had only cultivated for a few months now, and both of them had already broken through into the late Soul realm.
Jing Rou had also talked to Qi Bailu and Hua Mu, and considered them to be outstanding figures.
Not to mention that her husband Duan Shihu was from the Domain of the Falling Stars too.
Even she couldnât reach Duan Shihuâs attainments in the art of seal use. Perhaps it was because of this he had been viewed as the Divine Seal Sectâs future sectmaster.
Jing Rou found the fact that everyone she had met from the Domain of the Falling Stars turned out to be outstanding hard to believe.
Meng Li sighed softly. âWell, I wasnât happy with that man at first, but the fact that heâs planning to hunt down Xing Lifeng in the Shatter Battlefield has earned him my respect.
âAnd Iâve talked to the Thousandsword Mountain Sect and the Golden Vast Sect. From now on, people from the Domain of the Falling Stars will be able to conduct activities here, and they wouldnât give you any trouble.â
Nie Tian clasped his hands. âMany thanks.â
He realized that Meng Liâs words had cleared the last-remaining obstacles between the Domain of the Falling Stars and the Domain of Heaven Python.
From now on, Hua Mu, Qi Bailu, and the others would not only be able to travel freely between the Realm of Maelstrom and other realms, but would also be able to trade spiritual materials with sects from the Domain of Heaven Python and outsiders, therefore gaining the necessary materials to build their inner domains within a short time.
He had a feeling that, thanks to the teleportation portal Zhao Shanling had just set up, many Soul realm experts from the Domain of the Falling Stars would be able to improve their strength and cultivation bases at a much faster rate.
Meanwhile, according to Hua Mu and the others, the Domain of the Falling Stars now belonged to him.
The stronger the Domain of the Falling Stars became, the stronger he would become.
Eventually, he would reach the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palaceâs headquarters, following the route they had designed for him. At that time, all of these people would be his reserve power.
âItâs been a long time since I left the Domain of the Falling Stars,â Duan Shihu said. âI want to go back and visit my master.â
âIâll go with you,â Jing Rou said, smiling.
Duan Shihu nodded. âSure.â
âAlright,â Nie Tian said, nodding. âWe need to give that bottle of sand of time to master as soon as possible anyway. Hopefully, itâll be of great help to him.â
Qi Bailu and Hua Mu didnât go with them. Instead, they stayed, hoping to learn more about the Realm of Maelstrom.
Therefore, Nie Tian, Duan Shihu, and Jing Rou teleported to the forbidden region in the Realm of Split Void through Zhao Shanlingâs teleportation portal.
Zhao Shanlingâs teleportation portal in the Realm of Split Void had been rather close to the palace Nie Tian had summoned from the depths of the earth in the first place.
However, during his recent return, he had moved it to a conspicuous location right beside the palace.
Standing in front of the grand palace, Duan Shihuâs eyes lit up as he examined the countless star formations on the palace walls. âIs this the palace the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace left for you?â
âYeah,â Nie Tian said.
Jing Rou also examined them with rapt attention and said, âThose profound spell formations seem to contain the profound truths of heaven and earth. Theyâre different from the seals our sect uses, but they seem to lead to the same result!â
âEven though I donât know anything about star magics, examining the magical lines of those profound spell formations alone is already very enlightening.â With these words, Duan Shihu tore his gaze from the palace and said to Nie Tian, âIâll visit master first. Then, Iâll come back to do a thorough examination. Hopefully, Iâll be able to learn from them.â
âThatâs what Iâm thinking too,â Jing Rou said with a soft laugh.
Nie Tian was surprised by their reaction.
Even though he could also see the star formations that had been carved on the stone palace walls, they didnât seem very impressive to him when they werenât activated.
Only after gathering countless wisps of star power would these star formations come to shine and light up the whole palace.
Handing the bottle of sand of time to Duan Shihu, Nie Tian said, âMaster is practicing cultivation. Youâd better be careful after you get there. Since I met master a few months ago, Iâm not going with you this time. Â Iâll visit my private realm and check on the people there.â
Duan Shihu nodded. âOkay.â
Then, Nie Tian brought the two of them to the bamboo forest beside the palace, where children from the Nie Clan lived and practiced cultivation.
Li Langfeng was the only one who was guarding the bamboo forest.
Li Langfeng was shocked upon seeing him.
âTeleport them to the Cloudsoaring Sect,â Nie Tian said.
Li Langfeng activated the spell formation. Duan Shihu and Jing Rou then disappeared from the center of the spell formation.
âWhat happened in the Domain of the Falling Stars during these few months I was away?â Nie Tian asked.
âNothing special...â Li Langfeng then went on a briefly explained what had happened recently.
At first, the major sects in the Domain of the Falling Stars had been rather insecure and uneasy after they had left through the spatial rift in the Void Illusion Mountain Range.
They had all been worried that powerful experts from the other domains would swarm in through that spatial rift.
After all, someone had thrown Zhen Huilanâs body into the Realm of Split Void through that very spatial rift.
However, after waiting fully prepared for a few months, they had discovered that, from the look of it, nothing was going to happen. Therefore, they had gradually stopped worrying.
During this time, Dong Wangling had returned from the Domain of Heavenâs Boundaries. He had seemed to have had a pleasant meeting with people from the Beast-controlling Sect.
Dong Wangling had gone find Li Langfeng and told him that he hoped to take Dong Li and Dong Baijie to the Beast-controlling Sectâs headquarters after Nie Tianâs return. Over there, they would be able to select spirit beasts that suited them the best and learn incantations that were more legitimate.
At the same time, the Dong Clan would arrange for a group of their clansmen to go to the Domain of Heavenâs Boundaries with Dong Li and Dong Baijie.
The Beast-controlling Sectâs current sectmaster had been rather thrilled to learn that the Dong Clan from the Domain of the Falling Stars had a historical connection with their sect.
As a group, people with the family name âDongâ in the Domain of Heavenâs Boundaries had withered through time. Therefore, the Beast-controlling Sectâs sectmaster had been rather eager to bring more of them into the Beast-controlling Sect, to return the âDongâ name to prosperity.
Therefore, the two sides had reached a mutual understanding right away. The Dong Clan would send their members to the Beast-controlling Sect to learn legitimate incantations and select suitable spirit beasts, while the Beast-controlling Sect would take in Dong Clan members to boost their strength.
With Wu Ji in secluded cultivation, Hua Mu away with Nie Tian, and Nie Donghai away in Nie Tianâs private heaven and earth, Li Langfeng had become Nie Tianâs representative in the Domain of the Falling Stars.
Zong Zheng, Fan Kai, and powerful experts from the Realm of a Hundred Battles had sent people to report to Li Langfeng from time to time, so he had been informed of every detailed change that had taken place in the Domain of the Falling Stars.
After learning about the current situation in the Domain of the Falling Stars from Li Langfeng, Nie Tian pushed the stone gate to the palace open, and entered the shattered heaven and earth that was wreathed in the flesh auras of outsiders and Ancientspirits.
âI probably should give this realm a name. Sine itâs a shattered realm thatâs held together by those huge vines, I might as well call it the Realm of Shattered Earth.â With these words, Nie Tian stepped through the gate out of the palace.
As soon as he did, he formed his nine Heaven Eyes and scanned this whole realm with them.
Nie Donghai, Nie Qian, Dong Li, Dong Baijie, Ye Qin, Xuan Ke, and many other figures he was familiar with then entered his Heaven Eyesâ view.
They were scattered in different regions, trying to derive enlightenment from the profound mysteries in those regions.
In Nie Tianâs senses, Dong Li and Dong Baijie, who were currently at the late Worldly realm, seemed to be on the verge of breaking through into the Profound realm.
The two of them seemed to have gain a great deal in this heaven and earth.
Aside from these two, others who had come to practice cultivation here had also made progress of differing degrees in their cultivation bases and strength.
âIâm back!â Nie Tian called out.
Wisps of soul awareness and resounding sounds spread out through his Heaven Eyes to every corner of the Realm of Shattered Earth.
After receiving them, people gathered from all directions, and soon arrived in front of the grand palace.
Mu Biqiong, the Holy Daughter from the Bliss Mountain Sect, was among them.
Mu Biqiong was still at the late Worldly realm. She was the first to arrive in front of the palace, where she fixed Nie Tian with a cold gaze and asked, âHow much longer do you intend to imprison me here?â
âIâm here to take you back to the Domain of Heavenâs Boundaries,â Nie Tian said.
However, Mu Biqiong, who was still wearing a veil, seemed somewhat disappointed upon hearing these words. She looked over her shoulder into the distance, as if she was reluctant to leave the Realm of Shattered Earth.
Nie Tian didnât know that even though she had been staying in the Realm of Shattered Earth as a prisoner, she had actually made significant gains during this time.
The devilish flower inside of her had been able to communicate with the gigantic vines that held the Realm of Shattered Earth together, and channel wood power from her surroundings to nourish and strengthen her.
That flower was of great importance to her. It was both her nightmare and her power reserve.
Besides, since the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Shattered Earth was exceptionally rich and soothing, she had progressed rapidly by cultivating here.
She was well-aware that if the young talented ones from the sects in the Domain of Heavenâs Boundaries learned about this magical place, they would all dream of coming here to derive enlightenment and improve their cultivation bases.
The thought of these benefits she had gained made her reluctant to leave this heaven and earth.
Nie Tian, however, didnât pay much attention to her reaction. Instead, with a bright smile, he said to Dong Li and Dong Baijie, âYou two seem to have made some considerable progress in your cultivation.â
Dong Baijie laughed broadly and pointed into the sky, where multicolored currents were surging. âLittle Li and I managed to channel residual black phoenix and gray wolf bloodline auras from the atmosphere with the help of our beast spirits. Then, we refined them into our beast spirits, which enabled us to achieve rapid growth in our strength.â
âThatâs great,â Nie Tian said. âBut now Iâve got to take you back to the Domain of the Falling Stars. The Beast-controlling Sect wants you to go visit them to select spirit beasts that suit you better and practice incantations that are more legitimate.â
Dong Baijie was taken aback. âThe Beast-controlling Sect?!â
The same went for Mu Biqiong.
Nie Tian raised his voice and said, âWhoever else wants to leave can come with us now.â
Ye Qin, Xuan Ke, and the others all shook their head, and expressed that this place was very helpful for their cultivation, so they didnât plan to leave yet.
âIf thatâs the case, you may stay here for a while longer. Let me know if you want to leave next time I come back.â Nie Tian didnât want to impose.
Afterwards, Nie Tian left the Realm of Shattered Earth with Dong Li, Dong Baijie, and Mu Biqiong.
After teleporting back to the Realm of Split Void, he discovered that Fan Kai, Zong Zheng, Chang Sen, and many other Soul realm experts from the Domain of the Falling Stars were gathered in front of the palace.
All of them were there to express their desire to visit the Realm of Maelstrom and trade with powerful experts from more advanced domains and outsiders.
Nie Tian agreed to their request.
These Soul realm experts from all over the Domain of the Falling Stars were overjoyed to get his consent.
However, Nie Tian decided to go to the Domain of Heavenâs Boundaries himself to demand something from the Bliss Mountain Sect, using Mu Biqiong as leverage.
Soon, he met up with Dong Wangling and a few other Dong Clan members at the Thunder Mountain Sectâs headquarters. He asked Lei Tianqi to activate the spell formation, and after a few transits, they arrived in the Divine Flame Sectâs headquarters in the Domain of Heavenâs Boundaries.
