Chapter 137: Twisted Magnetic Field (2/2)

The moment he stopped fueling it with his psychic power, the chaotic and disruptive magnetic field that already covered a ten meter range stopped growing.

However at that time, he sensed that his spiritual power and flesh power was still being drained from him, seemingly providing power to sustain the magnetic field.

He was amazed by the violently surging spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, as well as the fact that even space seemed to be compressing, which formed a caving magnetic field around him.

“This technique also requires time to cast. Furthermore, the drain on my psychic power is extremely high. However, it seems that once it’s formed, it only needs a small portion of my spiritual power and flesh power to sustain it.

“Only, since I’m the only one here, and I’m completely unaffected by it, there’s no way for me to know how strong its true power is.

“It seems that I’ll have to learn that when I use it outside in the future. However, I must properly comprehend the essence of this technique before I leave, in order to make sure that I’ll still be able to cast it when I’m out of here.”

After thinking for a while, he felt somewhat exhausted, therefore stopped the hand seal.

As soon as he gave up the hand seal, the spiritual power and flesh power that had been continuously pouring out also stopped flowing outwards.

However, the mysterious, twisted magnetic field didn’t disappear accordingly. On the contrary, it persisted.

Only, since there was no more energy supply, the field slowly shrank, and it seemed that it would eventually disappear as the time passed.

“One, two…” He silently counted in his head, and noticed that the twisted magnetic field completely dissipated into the air after roughly three minutes.

After the magnetic field disappeared, everything returned to normal. However, the psychic power, spiritual power, and flesh power that he had consumed didn’t come back.

The significant consumption of psychic power made Nie Tian lie on the ground with his eyes somewhat listless.

Looking at the dusky sky, he suddenly was suddenly hit by an incomparably strong sense of exhaustion, making him want nothing but to sleep.

The drain on his spiritual power could be recovered via cultivation with spirit stones. Moreover, the intense spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in this area would also greatly help with the replenishment of his spiritual power.

The flesh power he had lost could be quickly restored via eating spirit beast meat, but the drain on his psychic power seemed hard to recover within a short time.

The only way he knew of was to sleep, therefore he simply gave in to the exhaustion and slipped into a deep slumber.

After sleeping for an unknown period of time, he opened his eyes and, as expected, found himself full of energy and in great spirits.

After that, he went on to repeatedly imitate and comprehend the mysterious hand seal made by the two enormous hands within the mysterious land. By coordinating the psychic power, spiritual power, and flesh power in his body, he created the strange chaotic twisting magnetic field over and over again, attempting to thoroughly grasp it before leaving.

…

In the Realm of Flame Heaven…

Nie Tian had been gone for half a month, during which the fighting between the seven great sects had already calmed down.

After ravaging the Spiritual Treasure sect, the Earth Flame Beast that had broken free from the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range forcefully charged into the heavens and disappeared, despite the interception of the Blood sect and the Ghost sect’s Profound realm experts and Fang Hui.

Because of the havoc caused by the Earth Flame Beast, as well as the magma that had spewed out of the earth’s core, the Blood sect, the Ghost sect, and the Spiritual Treasure sect, who were originally in a fierce fight, had no choice but stop fighting.

After that, flaming meteors had descended from the sky, respectively landing in the territories and surrounding areas of the seven major sects.

The lure of the Heaven Gate keys, as well as the urging from the Hell sect, made the Blood sect and Ghost sect give up on fighting with the Spiritual Treasure sect to the death.

With that, the bloody battle in the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range came to an end. The Ghost sect and the Blood sect raced back to their own turfs to fight for the keys to the Heaven Gate.

The Spiritual Treasure sect had suffered disastrous losses, but it wasn’t serious enough to reach the point of sect extermination. Therefore, as they rebuilt the sect, they also started to collect the keys to the Heaven Gate that had been branded on the meteors.

The Mystic Mist sect and Grayvale sect gained the upper hand when they first invaded the Hell sect, but were decimated when Chang Sen’s wife, Kong Yun, returned to the sect.

If not for Chang Sen’s interference, over half of the experts from the Mystic Mist sect and Grayvale sect might have been killed by his wife.

Not long after the Qi warriors of the Mystic Mist sect and Grayvale sect had returned to their sects with dejected faces, the Hell sect spread the word to all the other sects that the Heaven Gate… would open up in seven days.

Those who had obtained the Heaven Gate keys would be allowed to participate in the trial, no matter how they had obtained the keys or which sect they came from.

Everyone from the seven sects who had obtained the keys to the Heaven Gate seethed with excitement, and cracked their knuckles as they prepared for the trial.

The experts of their respective sects also spared no effort to prepare them and help them accumulate strength, hoping that they could make great gains within the Heaven Gate.

At this time, Wu Ji, who had also disappeared after Nie Tian entered the mysterious land, returned to the back mountain.

“There are only seven days left before the gate opens. Why hasn’t the child come out yet?”

After returning and finding no trace of Nie Tian, Wu Ji frowned.
