Chapter 187: The Special One (1/2)

Pieces of broken spirit stones were scattered in front of Nie Tian.

Li Fan and Jiang Lingzhu both realized that he had made the breakthrough and since they didn’t want to disturb him or attract others’ attention, they stopped looking at him.

After glancing around, they discovered that the others were still contemplating or recuperating with spirit stones, and no one seemed to have noticed what happened with Nie Tian.

Only Yu Tong, who was sitting next to Feng Luo, looked over from time to time for unknown reasons.

Since she had considered Nie Tian to be her number one opponent, she never stopped thinking about having a fair fight with him someday.

Because of her repeated losses to him, he had become her mental devil, especially when every time he had defeated her, his cultivation base had been lower than hers.

That fact left her extremely frustrated.

“That guy used so many spirit stones. Don’t tell me he made another breakthrough!” Yu Tong exclaimed in her heart, her eyes filled with deep hatred. However, a while later, her expression grew somewhat complicated.

When she had first met Nie Tian in the Heaven Gate trial, Feng Luo told her, after a brief examination, that Nie Tian had stepped into the middle Lesser Heaven stage.

The fact that Nie Tian had managed to break through into the middle Lesser Heaven and caught up to her stage had already been shocking to her.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t imagine what he had experienced in the past three months that led him to another breakthrough in his cultivation base in such a short time.

Nie Tian’s rapid advancement had put her under great pressure, and she feared that it wouldn’t be very long before the gap between their cultivation bases grew larger and larger.

“I won’t fall behind! And I won’t lose to you again!” Yu Tong gritted her teeth as a sense of competition rose in her heart.

Then she refrained from thinking more about it, and immediately submerged herself in cultivation.

WHOOSH!

After an unknown period of time, Nie Tian woke up from his cultivation and let out a mouthful of air.

By that time, there were three vortexes of spiritual power, one vortex of flame power, one vortex of wood power, and a vortex of starlight in his spiritual sea.

The six vortexes that contained different types of power rotated regularly and peacefully.

After the violent movements triggered by the spirit stones was over, his spiritual sea seemed to be ready for more expansion.

He could have taken more spirit stones out of his bracelet of holding and continued with his cultivation.

However, he had a feeling that the seven-colored light shooting out of the teleportation portal had become dimmer, which could be a sign that the energy was running out.

After all, the light had protected him and transferred him from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace back to this place, so a subtle connection had been born between them.

As expected.

Just as he was about to say something, the light gate in the middle of the ancient teleportation portal suddenly became twisted and blurry.

He realized he was right, and the portal really was running out of power.

At that same moment, Hong Can, who had been observing the teleportation portal, came to the same realization and called out, “Wake up, everyone!”

His shout woke everyone from their recuperation or meditation.

Hong Can’s expression was very grim as he said, “We have to go now! Let’s get into the portal one by one! And remember, prepare yourselves!”

Upon hearing his words, everyone sprung to their feet. Even Qiu Heng from the Spiritual Treasure sect didn’t utter a word of objection.

After all, he also knew that when the seven-colored light went out and the teleportation portal ran out of power, whoever chose to stay would very likely be trapped in this dimension forever and would never return to the Domain of the Falling Stars again.

Since there was no life and no spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in here, he couldn’t cultivate in this place.

With his current cultivation base, he couldn’t possibly travel between dimensions. No matter how many spirit stones he had on him, he would run out one day.

When he did, even the cold wind alone would drain his power and kill him.

After realizing that he had no other choice, he looked back at An Shiyi and urged her to get in first with a cold tone, “Let’s go!”

An Shiyi knew that her previous comments had angered Qiu Heng, so she said with no expression on her face, “Fine.”

She even expected that Qiu Heng might secretly undermine her after they returned to the Spiritual Treasure sect.

However, since she had made quite significant gains in the Heaven Gate trial, she was confident that she would soon step into the Greater Heaven stage, and by that time, she wouldn’t need to care how Qiu Heng felt any more.

“We disciples from the Hell sect will go first; the rest of you follow us!” After uttering these words with decisiveness, Hong Can took the initiative to enter the seven-colored light gate.

The other Hell sect disciples immediately followed him into it.
