Chapter 242: The Most Subtle Changes (1/2)

All of a sudden, one of the fragmentary stars in Nie Tian’s soul began to shine as brightly as a diamond.

In the next moment, a wisp of starlight flew out of it and merged with a wisp of his psychic awareness.

Unlike before, the mixture, which Nie Tian referred to as a Heaven Eye, didn’t fly out from within him. Instead, it sank deep into him.

The moment it roamed through his muscles, Nie Tian was able to capture the most subtle movements that were going on around it.

Via the Heaven Eye, Nie Tian discovered that his muscles were absorbing a strand of blood essence that was ten times finer than a hair.

He could see the fine muscle fibers slowly expanding and rapidly shrinking as they swallowed the strand of blood essence bit by bit.

That was something he had never experienced before.

At that moment, he was convinced that he currently had two different types of power that shared the same origin within his soul.

One was the more basic psychic power and the other was the more advanced soul power.

Using psychic power, cultivators couldn’t possibly have a clear sense of the most subtle movements within their flesh. Only a vague feeling could be drawn.

However, the Heaven Eye that contained soul power from the fragmentary stars allowed Nie Tian to sense every subtle change and movement within his muscles and meridians with great clarity.

Normally speaking, only powerful experts at the Worldly realm, Profound realm, and Spirit Realm would be able to refine their psychic power and upgrade it to soul power.

Considering that he was only in the Lesser Heaven stage, it must have been the Fragmentary Star Incantation he had obtained from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace that had enabled him to possess such divine power at such an early stage.

“Fragmentary Star Incantation!” The thought of the Fragmentary Star Incantation made him suddenly realize something.

The very reason why Hua Mu had taken him to the Realm of Split Void was that he had the Fragmentary Star Incantation on him, and the Heaven Palace sect would spare no effort to get it.

According to Hua Mu, only when he had truly mastered the first and middle parts of the Fragmentary Star Incantation and merged them with his body, would he not need to fear the Heaven Palace Sect and be able to openly go to other realms.

By that time, they would no longer be able to strip the two fragmentary star marks from him.

If they wanted his fragmentary star marks, they would have to beg him to join the Heaven Palace Sect and cultivate him wholeheartedly as their core disciple.

Furthermore, at that time, he would be able to use the Flame Dragon Armor without any issues.

Once he became the core disciple of the Heaven Palace Sect, even the Flame God himself wouldn’t dare to snatch the Flame Dragon Armor from him.

“It seems that I need to spend more of my time studying those two fragmentary star marks.”

That was when he realized that he had been focusing on practicing cultivation and breaking through to the next stage, and forgotten about the reason why he had come to the Realm of Split Void.

He temporarily put the thought aside and refocused on observing himself with his Heaven Eye.

His Heaven Eye roamed about inside of him and saw tens of thousands of blood essence strands that were even finer than hairs gradually disappearing into his blood, muscles, internal organs and bones, turning into pure power and nourishing his body.

As time passed, all the strands of blood essence gradually vanished, and the burning sensation went away with it.

During the whole absorbing process, he only experienced a rapid heartbeat and nothing else.

At that moment, he suddenly thought about the green aura that was coiled up in his heart, which was the embodiment of his bloodline.

Although it wasn’t very thick and large, he had a feeling that it was the most fierce and powerful thing in him.

He was certain that if it had joined in the absorption of the blood essence he had channeled into his body, the essence he had refined from those four barrels of blood wouldn’t be enough for it alone.

He was becoming increasingly aware that, not only was the green aura that represented his bloodline fierce and powerful, but it was also intelligent.

For example, it must know that Nie Tian’s body was in need of copious amounts of blood essence to strengthen itself, and that when his body was tough and resilient, it would also benefit a great deal from it.

Therefore, it had intentionally allowed Nie Tian’s blood, muscles, internal organs, and bones to absorb the pure blood essence and temper themselves with it.

The Heaven Eye enabled Nie Tian to obtain a deeper and more thorough understanding of every part inside of him.

At that moment, he could no longer feel any strange sensations. Then, he rose to his feet and walked to the window, finding that it was already daybreak.
