Chapter 311: Stern Criticism (1/2)

During the following days, Nie Tian cultivated day and night in his own room.

With the help of the stones that contained rich star power, he took his time condensing stardew, and gradually filled the lake of stardew at the bottom of his vortex of star power.

Afterwards, he recovered the flame power and wood power he had consumed by using spiritual materials that contained copious amounts of wood power and flame power.

Time flew by. Fifteen days passed without him noticing it.

After a half-month of devoted cultivation, his vortex of star power had already expanded and been refined to the fullest.

His vortexes of flame power and wood power were also developed to the point where no more advancement could be made.

Only his spiritual sea was still yet to be expanded, and the spiritual power within it still needed more refinement.

Therefore, he thought about the Blood Skull’s cultivation rooms.

This day, he had just stepped out of his room, and was about to go to the Blood Skull’s headquarters, when he suddenly felt violent spatial energy fluctuations coming from within Pei Qiqi’s stone pavilion.

“What?!” A surprised expression spread out across his face as he stared at Pei Qiqi’s stone pavilion, his eyes glittering with a strange light.

Li Ye also sensed the anomaly, and came out of his equipment forging room, shock filling his face and body reeking of alcohol.

A few Qi warriors who worked for Pei Qiqi and Li Ye also walked out of their rooms to see what was happening.

After a short while, Li Ye exclaimed, delight appearing at the corners of his mouth, “Senior martial sister just entered the Greater Heaven stage!”

Nie Tian nodded gently as he sensed with rapt attention.

He discovered that the intense spatial energy fluctuations coming from within Pei Qiqi’s pavilion were gradually calming down.

Li Ye and Pei Qiqi’s few assistants were whispering something to each other, as they were also happy that Pei Qiqi had made another breakthrough in her cultivation base.

However, they would also occasionally shoot glances at Nie Tian with complicated looks in their eyes.

During the past few days, while Nie Tian had been cultivating wholeheartedly in his room, rumors about him spread to every corner of Shatter City.

Shi Qing, Liu Kang, and the other Blood Skull members who had gone after the Hunters also returned during that time.

They had chased down and killed a number of Hunters. A few weak Hunter organizations had even unraveled after their leaders’ deaths.

According to the returning Blood Skull members, Nie Tian had single-handedly killed several dozen Hunters in the hilly area and wasteland.

While Nie Tian was only at the early Heaven stage, there were many middle and late Heaven stage experts among the Hunters he had slaughtered.

The rumors made Hua Tian a famous name throughout the entirety of Shatter City.

As of now, not only had the members of the Blood Skull acknowledged Nie Tian’s abilities, their guest elder with the lowest cultivation base, but every Qi warrior in Shatter City was shocked by his accomplishments.

Naturally, the people who worked for Pei Qiqi and Li Ye had also heard rumors about him. Therefore, each and every one of them focused their amazed and curious gazes on Nie Tian the moment they saw him.

They seemed to be more shocked by Nie Tian’s accomplishments than Pei Qiqi’s breakthrough into the Greater Heaven stage.

After all, they had expected that Pei Qiqi would enter the Greater Heaven stage after this period of secluded cultivation.

SHEW!

The figure of a girl suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

A few beads of sweat could be seen on Pei Qiqi’s smooth forehead, and her gorgeous eyes were glittering with bright light.

After appearing in the middle of the courtyard, she focused her gaze on Nie Tian and asked, “When did you come back?”

Ever since she had started her secluded cultivation, she had been completely cut off from the outside world, and didn’t have the slightest idea of what Nie Tian had done, or the fact that the Fang and many other Hunter organizations had pursued him madly.

“About ten days ago,” Nie Tian said, smiling.

Pei Qiqi nodded gently at him. “It’s good that you came back alive.”

Li Ye hastily stepped forward and said, “Senior martial sister, you probably don’t know this yet. Not only did this guy survive the joint pursuit of the Fang and many other Hunter organizations, but he even somehow killed a few dozen of their Heaven stage members! He’s like a big deal in Shatter City now. Even people from Ash City and the Land of the Abandoned have heard about him and are asking around about him.”

A startled expression appeared on Pei Qiqi’s face.
