Chapter 627: Selling Tickets (2/2)
As he came close, the teleportation portal in the Dong Clan started rotating and set to a specific location.
Nie Tian took a look at Zhao Shanling. “Please remember our deals, Senior Zhao.”
Then, he turned to Hua Mu and said, “Uncle Hua, I hope you can keep an eye on my master for me.”
Hua Mu nodded with an assuring look in his eyes.
Zhao Shanling snorted with a smile and said, “Don’t worry. Since I gave you my word, nothing will change it.”
His heart finally put at ease, Nie Tian followed Dong Wangling into the teleportation portal.
Dong Li wanted to catch up to Nie Tian, but Dong Baijie shook his head at her, signaling for her not to do so. She then wanted to speak, but also stopped on second thought.
There were too many Soul realm patriarchs here. In their presence, Dong Li and Dong Baijie were juniors of juniors. It wasn’t their place to speak their opinion.
She had wanted to defend Nie Tian on a few occasions, but Dong Baijie had stopped her with stern looks every time.
Watching Nie Tian follow the patriarch of her clan to his personal cultivation location, she felt somewhat anxious. She wanted to stay by Nie Tian’s side as he cultivated.
“Nie Tian needs some time to gather his thoughts and plan his next move,” Dong Baijie said in a low voice. “Right now, he doesn’t need you to be by his side. Since our patriarch is going with him, nothing will happen to him.”
“Alright...” Dong Li said, nodding reluctantly.
“It’s time for us to head to the Realm of Mystic Heaven, everyone,” Hua Mu said.
Everyone nodded. “Alright.”
Afterward, they had the Dong Clan members set up the teleportation portal, and then entered it somewhat anxiously.
Only Zhao Shanling remained here.
“Senior Zhao, aren’t you…?” Dong Qianqi, the clanmaster of the Dong Clan, asked in confusion.
“What happens in the Realm of Mystic Heaven has nothing to do with me,” Zhao Shanling said with an expressionless face. “Now that the outsiders are gathered in one realm, they must have learned that someone has sealed the spatial rifts in the Realm of Flame Heaven and the Realm of a Hundred Battles. The spatial rift in the Realm of Mystic Heaven must be heavily guarded right now. I wouldn’t do such a stupid thing as going there now.
“Besides, I’ve already gotten what I wanted from my senior martial brother.
“The final battle between the humans and the outsiders in the Realm of Mystic Heaven won’t concern me in the slightest.”
With these irresponsible words, Zhao Shanling ignored the strange looks in the Dong Clan members’ eyes and disappeared into a spatial rift behind him.
Perhaps he was the only person who wouldn’t be affected if the Domain of the Falling Stars fell into the outsiders’ hands.
Given his cultivation base and profound mastery of spatial magics, he would be able to escape to a remote space whenever he wanted to.
…
Inside a spacious, closed room, shock filled Nie Tian’s face as he looked around at a large number of extremely pure spirit jades.
Dong Wangling smiled proudly and said, “We’re in an underground stone room that I built in the heart of a rich spirit jade vein. The spirit jades you’re looking at are all tens of thousands of years old. Even though spirit crystals haven’t come to form yet, this is still a good place for Qi warriors under the Void domain to cultivate in.”
“Good doesn’t describe it!” Nie Tian marveled. “Aside from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s grand hall, which I visited during the Heaven Gate trial, I’ve never been to another place where the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth is this rich.”
Compared to this room, the cultivation rooms in the Blood Skull’s headquarters were not even worth mentioning.
All that Nie Tian did was stand there, but he could still sense wisps of pure spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth flooding into his spiritual sea and entering his nine vortexes of spiritual power.
He believed that by cultivating in this room, the efficiency at which he expanded and refined his vortexes of spiritual power would improve ten-fold.
No wonder Dong Li would progress in her cultivation every time she finished an adventure and returned to the Dong Clan.
The reserve power of ancient clans like the Dong Clan was indeed shocking. They had the ability to help their members rapidly accumulate strength and make breakthroughs soon after they achieved the right mental state.
If his master Wu Ji had a cultivation room like this one, perhaps he would have accumulated enough spiritual power to break through into the Soul realm.
After a moment of pondering, Dong Wangling said, “I won’t ask you how you plan to deal with those outsider corpses, Nie Tian. You’re welcome to use this cultivation room for as long as you like. Our clan owes you this much. Dong Li told me how she obtained the Fruit of Life when she gave it to me.
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gained these extra years of lifespan. Even though, unlike your master, I still had some lifespan to spare, any human would appreciate some extra years. After all, our lifespans are rather limited.
“I also heard that you helped Dong Li gain the corpse of an eighth grade black phoenix, and brought most of our clan members back from that dimension.
“Even though Zhao Shanling played a very important role in ending the crisis in the Realm of a Hundred Battles, it was you who persuaded him to come to our aid.
“We’ll remember what you’ve done for our clan.”
“I only did what I thought was right,” Nie Tian said modestly.
“Alright, I’ll leave you to it,” Dong Wangling said, smiling. “I still have to go to the Realm of Mystic Heaven. I’ve got to give the Heaven Palace Sect face. Who knows whether their patriarch can advance to the Void domain or not. Even though the odds are against him, if he somehow succeeds, and finds fault with our clan in the future, it’ll be very troublesome for us.”
With these words, he left through the teleportation portal, which only led to the Dong Clan.
As soon as he vanished in the portal, Nie Tian summoned the Bone Blood Demon and had it drain the blood of all of the seventh grade outsider corpses.
The Bone Blood Demon had possessed middle Soul realm battle prowess before Nie Tian had taken it to the Realm of Flame Heaven.
In the Realm of Flame Heaven, it had absorbed and refined a copious amount of blood from numerous fourth and fifth grade outsiders.
This time, it had once again massacred a large number of fourth, fifth, and sixth grade outsiders around the Dong Clan, the Gu Clan, the Cao Clan, and the Pill Pavilion Sect, and refined their blood.
If it went on and refined the blood of these seventh grade outsiders, would its strength rise to a new level?
