Chapter 512: Destination (1/2)

Chapter 512: Destination

With their soul awarenesses that were powerful enough to reach the depths of the earth, Dong Tuodi and Qin Yi conducted a thorough search of this floating continent, but failed to find anything noteworthy.

Eventually, everyone from the Dong Clan and the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce gave up.

The five forces from the Realm of a Hundred Battles regathered, and after a short discussion, they decided to leave.

One Rainbow Lightning after another sped away from the floating continent, along with Pei Qiqi’s Lightning Shuttle and other air-transportation spiritual tools.

Once again, Nie Tian boarded Pei Qiqi’s Lightning Shuttle.

As the Lightning Shuttle sped through the void following the group from the Realm of a Hundred Battles, Pei Qiqi reminded Nie Tian in a low voice, “Be careful of that Qin Yan.”

Face filled with confusion, Nie Tian turned to look at her.

“After you left with Dong Li, Qin Yan intentionally provoked Gu Haofeng to make him angry at you,” Pei Qiqi explained.

Nie Tian instantly understood the reason why Gu Haofeng had suddenly appeared when he and Dong Li had been talking in private.

His eyebrows furrowed as he stuck his head out of the Lightning Shuttle to look at the distant Qin Yan, who was traveling with other members of the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce.

Over the following days, they followed the people from the Realm of a Hundred Battles, who seemed to be traveling without a destination, yet repeatedly changed direction.

Nie Tian practiced cultivation day and night. With the help of his fire-attributed materials, he refined his vortex of flame power and formed liquidized flame power.

Time flew. Two months passed...

During this period of time, Nie Tian finished a few rounds of refinement of his vortex of flame power, and filled the crimson lake of liquidized flame power at the bottom of his vortex of flame power to the brim.

He could already feel the magical feeling that he was ready for his next breakthrough.

Every time he made a breakthrough in his cultivation, he had to accumulate power over a long period of time. Not only would he need to expand and refine his vortex of spiritual power, but he also needed to cultivate his fire power, wood power, and star power to the breakthrough point.

Only in this way would he be able to eventually make the breakthrough when he came to the right enlightenment and entered the right state of mind.

In his senses, after his recent adventures, his cultivation of his spiritual sea had already reached the breakthrough point, and he already had the magical feeling of being ready for his next breakthrough. However, something seemed to be missing.

As he recalled his former breakthroughs, he pondered whether it was his lack of refinement of his body, or if he wasn’t in the right state of mind.

Due to the unique features of his body, ever since he had awakened the Life Drain bloodline talent, every time he had absorbed flesh power from spirit beast meat, every wisp of it had been drawn to his heart and devoured by the green aura.

Because of this, he had been unable to refine his own body with flesh power.

It seemed that only when the green aura was fed with enough flesh power and lay dormant again would he be able to refine his body with more flesh power.

“From the look of it, I need to satisfy that green aura first.” With this thought in mind, he consumed the spirit beast meat Dong Li had given him over the following days.

Since Pei Qiqi was by his side the whole time, he didn’t absorb flesh power from the spirit beast meat with Life Drain.

Instead, he absorbed it through the conventional way of eating.

Time flew. Two more weeks passed.

During this time, the group from the Realm of a Hundred Battles had encountered more floating continents and boulders, yet they failed to find anything noteworthy on any of them.

This day, Cao Zhaoji, who traveled at the forefront of the formation, informed everyone in a loud voice as he changed directions again.

Standing in the Lightning Shuttle, which kept a certain distance from the main group, Pei Qiqi heard Cao Zhaoji’s call and adjusted her direction accordingly.

At that moment, her eyes suddenly lit up.

“Cao Zhaoji is quite good. I can’t believe he’s found this place with such accuracy.” Pei Qiqi muttered in a low voice.

Nie Tian, who was stuffing spirit beast meat down his throat, turned to look at her, confusion filling his face. “What place?”

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Pei Qiqi said with an expressionless face.

Nie Tian took a deep look at her as he nodded slowly, and then resumed gorging himself again.

Even though he didn’t ask her, he had a feeling that Pei Qiqi must have learned about this place she referred to from the profound spatial energy she had previously received from that floating volcano.

Recently, he could constantly feel Pei Qiqi thrumming with strong spatial fluctuations, from which he could tell that she had been trying to derive enlightenment from the tiny spatial blades inside of her.

From the look of it, she had already refined most of the spatial blades, and come to some new knowledge or insights.

The two of them both had their own secrets. Since Pei Qiqi didn’t ask him what he had obtained from the seventy-two tree branches, he felt it wasn’t his place to ask her what she had learned from those spatial blades.

After a moment of silence, Pei Qiqi said, “It won’t be long before I can break through into the late Greater Heaven stage. When the time comes, I’ll find a secluded location to make my breakthrough, so I might be gone for a period of time.”

Nie Tian went blank briefly before asking, “Don’t you want me to protect you during the process?”

Pei Qiqi shook her head decisively. “There’s no need for that. I don’t think it’ll be wise to have anyone by my side when I make the breakthrough.”
