Chapter 60: A Tremendous Crisis (2/2)

“I understand.” Yu Tong nodded. “I’m saying that we have to make priorities. We should finish off those 19 people first. After we do, returning to kill him will be a piece of cake.”

“Since he remains in the desert, as long as we have the Blood Searching Compass, there’s no way that he can escape.”

Mo Xi pondered over it for awhile, and realized that her decision was a wise one. “Alright then. I’ll let him live for a few more days!”

…

After killing Du Kun, Nie Tian had always been meticulous while using the spirit beast meat to cultivate.

Every once in awhile, he would release his psychic awareness to detect the fluctuations of life in the surrounding area, and prepare himself for battles that could take place at any time, in case more people from the Ghost sect and Blood sect might come for him.

However, during the following two days, not a single enemy showed up.

In the meantime, he had consumed a large proportion of the Lurker Lizard meat, leaving behind only about a quarter of the original amount.

His spiritual sea had also expanded by as much as eighty percent. Given three more days, he believed he would be able to break through into the eighth level of Qi Refining stage!

“The eighth level!”

The thought of him being able to leap into the eighth level from the sixth level made him suddenly seethe with excitement.

As long as he could reach the ninth level of Qi Refining by the age of fifteen, he would be accepted by the Cloudsoaring sect and become their disciple!

Once he became a disciple of the Cloudsoaring sect, his grandfather’s status in the Nie clan would also rise accordingly.

Perhaps all the humiliations and injustice that his aunt had endured through all the years could finally be met with justice.

“I promised my aunt that I’ll become a Cloudsoaring sect’s disciple! When I get out of the Green Illusion dimension, it won’t be long before I honor my word!”

He munched even harder on the spirit beast meat before starting another round of refinement and upgrading of his spiritual sea.

Time gradually passed by…

Three days went by in the blink of an eye, and all of the remaining spirit beast meat was gone.

Sitting with his eyes closed, Nie Tian was practicing Qi Refining Incantation, channeling the energy to reform the spiritual sea in his dantian.

Although focused on his cultivation, he continued to maintain focus on the surrounding area. He suddenly sensed that the stuffy heat of the desert seemed to have faded away.

His hair seemed to quietly stand up on end due to the change in the temperature.

Having sensed the anomaly, he ceased his work with his spiritual sea, and released his psychic awareness, extending it out in every direction.

His first thought was that someone from the Ghost sect or the Blood sect had come for him.

Waves of extremely vigorous life fluctuations suddenly reflected into his soul. Expression flickering, he looked off in the direction of the disturbance.

Soon, his psychic awareness detected a powerful life form, something that clearly didn’t belong to a human being!

“Spirit beast! A second grade spirit beast just like the Lurker Lizard!”

He sprung to his feet, eyes locked on the direction that had been determined by his psychic power detection, ready for a fierce battle.

He was right!

About ten seconds later, a giant figure appeared from the direction that he had been staring in.

“The Frost Python!” Nie Tian stood aghast.

Previously, when his group went through the enormous trouble to search for it in the glacier area, it seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Now, however, it had actually appeared in the desert!

The Frost Python was the most powerful spirit beast in the entire Green Illusion dimension, moreover it seemed to possess impressive intelligence.

Upon seeing the Lurker Lizard getting injured, the Frost Python immediately fled the glacier area.

It seemed to know that everyone was hunting for it. Hence, it had concealed itself ever since, not leaving a single trace of its whereabouts.

Unlike the Lurker Lizard, it hadn’t been injured by An Ying or Zheng Rui. It had only consumed a little proportion of its strength, which should have long since recovered after such a long time.

This meant the Frost Python that Nie Tian was facing now was at its peak!
