Chapter 484: A Gift

About a quarter hour later...

A spatial portal suddenly appeared out of thin air before Nie Tian.

Zhen Huilan came through it, stood in front of Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi, and said, “You’ve decided to come.”

“Master.”

“Senior Zhen.”

Zhen Huilan waved at Nie Tian, signaling him not to stand on ceremony. “The environment in the Realm of Split Void is very different from the other realms, and the spatial energy fluctuations in the Void Illusion Mountain Range are far too strong. So, even I couldn’t create a long-distance spatial tunnel and pick you up directly from Shatter City.

“This is as far as my spatial tunnel can reach.”

With these words, a huge, prismatic, fiery crystal flew out from within her ring of holding. She presented it to Nie Tian and said with a solemn expression, “Place this fiery crystal close to the Flame Dragon Armor. The Flame Dragon Armor is a Spirit Channeling grade treasure. It’ll know what to do.”

With a puzzled expression, Nie Tian held the crystal with two hands, and instead of putting it directly into his ring of holding, he examined it carefully.

The prismatic, fiery crystal was red throughout, and the size of a grown man.

Streaks of flames could be seen flowing within it, as if there were rivers of fire sealed within the crystal. An extremely strong fire aura could be sensed from the crystal.

As soon as he placed his hand on it, his vortex of flame power started to spin madly, as if it were stimulated by the fiery crystal and desired to absorb the flame power within the crystal to its capacity.

“What is this?!” Nie Tian asked, looking astonished.

“This fiery crystal isn’t some precious fire-attributed material,” Zhen Huilan said with a plain tone. “However, the things inside it are very rare and precious. The streaks of flames swimming about within it are earthflame essence. I believe it can help the Flame Dragon Armor recover its strength.”

“Earthflame essence?!” Nie Tian exclaimed.

“Hua Mu, that old thing, told me that your Flame Dragon Armor needs earthflame essence, so I gathered some for you,” Zhen Huilan said with a faint smile. “Compared to what you’ve found for him, this is nothing. Earthflame essence exists in many fiery dimensions. The gathering part isn’t hard at all. What’s hard is finding such fiery dimensions.

“The Flame God Sect couldn’t find such fiery dimensions because they don’t have profound, deep-rooted power. However, I’m well-versed in spatial magics, and spend a big part of my time in the Void Illusion Mountain Range, so I can find some. It’s not that big a deal.”

“Many thanks, Senior Zhen!!” Nie Tian bowed respectfully before putting the prismatic, fiery crystal into his ring of holding and placing it right next to the Flame Dragon Armor.

As soon as the sizable crystal flew into the ring of holding, the Blood Core on the Flame Dragon Armor started to shine with bright, fiery light.

The moment it was placed next to the Flame Dragon Armor, countless thin flames shot out from within the Blood Core.

Like channels, they connected the Flame Dragon Armor and the large fiery crystal. Without any delay, the Flame Dragon Armor started absorbing the earthflame essence within the crystal.

Under Nie Tian’s gaze, one of the streaks of flames sealed within the crystal rapidly grew dim, as if it were being quickly drained of flame power.

“Master, is Wu Ling there with the other Tool Sect experts?” Pei Qiqi asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing her words, Nie Tian snapped back to reality and looked curiously at Zhen Huilan, no longer paying any attention to what was happening within his ring of holding.

He had learned from Dong Li that they had not only transferred Worldly and Profound realm experts from the Realm of a Hundred Battles to the Void Illusion Mountain Range, but also many Greater Heaven stage youngsters.

It went without saying that the dimension those spatial rifts led to would be full of danger, and that bloody battles might break out at any moment.

Therefore, he wondered why they would bring Greater Heaven stage youngsters. Wouldn’t they become burdens to others?

“Yes, he is,” Zhen Huilan said. “There are a variety of strange regions in the dimension within those spatial rifts. Some of the regions seem to be subject to some sort of mandate of heaven and earth. Those whose cultivation bases are too high will be rejected from entering. If they attempt to enter by force, they’ll be instantly be annihilated by the mysterious law of heaven and earth.

“However, precious spiritual materials that could help experts advance to the Void domain might still exist in those regions.

“In order to explore those special regions, they have to bring Greater Heaven stage youngsters. Otherwise, how do they expect to search for precious treasures in those regions if they can’t even enter them?

“That’s why those sects from the other eight realms have arranged for their Greater Heaven stage disciples to come as well.

“Only in this way will they be able to conduct a thorough search of every region in that mysterious dimension without missing out on anything.”
