Chapter 247: Three Attributes (1/2)

Ever since Nie Tian had returned from the Blood Skull’s headquarters, he cultivated wholeheartedly in his room.

Instead of using spirit stones, he used spiritual materials that contained flame power and wood power.

Two weeks passed.

As Nie Tian channeled flame power to his vortex of flame power, he could see increasingly clearly that numerous tiny flames were being formed at the bottom of the vortex.

It was like a miniature sea of flames, within which lay formidable flame power.

However, a moment later, he noticed that when he continued to channel more flame power to the vortex, no more flames were formed.

That was when he realized that he had refined his vortex of flame power to its limit.

Therefore, he went on to absorb essence from the peculiar wood chips and green leaves that Pei Qiqi had obtained for him.

As he channeled more and more wood power to his vortex of wood power, a small pond of green liquid was formed at the bottom of the vortex, which was the concentrated essence of plants and vegetation.

Two months later, he discovered that the liquid seemed to reach the brim and stopped growing.

That was when he realized that he had finished refining his vortex of wood power.

After that, he took out a handful of strange-looking stones that contained a faint amount of star power, and channeled the power into his vortex of star power.

There had already been a tiny pond of liquidized star power, which he referred to as stardew, at the bottom of his vortex of star power. He had formed it by cultivating in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and the Blood Sect.

It only took him three days to absorb the star power from those few pieces of spiritual materials, and as a result, a few drops of stardew were added to the bottom of his vortex of star power.

However, he could feel that it was far from enough to fill his vortex of star power to the point where he was ready to make the breakthrough into the Heaven stage.

Spiritual materials that contained star power were rather rare. Even with Pei Qiqi’s special status, she had merely managed to get him a handful of them.

Without more of those spiritual materials, there was only one way for him to obtain more star power: use the Fragmentary Star Incantation to channel starlight to his spiritual sea in an open space.

However, the entire Shatter City was enveloped by a giant light shield. Polluted spiritual Qi couldn’t penetrate it, and neither could starlight.

That meant that as long as he was in Shatter City, he couldn’t channel starlight from the heavens to the vortex of star power in his spiritual sea.

One day, Nie Tian awoke from his cultivation. He sat by his window and stared deep into the night sky, lost in his thoughts.

The spiritual power in his spiritual sea was in a misty state, but the essence at the bottom of the vortexes of three different attributes was obviously more condensed.

He had a feeling that the spiritual power in his spiritual sea was the foundation that he had built his cultivation on.

Without it, he wouldn’t have a spiritual sea, and none of the vortexes of different attributes would exist.

Every time he made a small breakthrough in the Lesser Heaven stage, a new vortex of spiritual power was formed in his spiritual sea.

The three vortexes of spiritual power unceasingly refined spiritual power and tempered his spiritual sea. However, his spiritual sea also required his other vortexes to develop to the point where it was ready to upgrade and he was ready to enter the next cultivation stage.

That meant that the more types of power he cultivated, the longer it would take to advance to that point.

If he had only cultivated flame power, he would have reached the breakthrough point long ago.
