Chapter 648: Deriving Enlightenment
Nie Tian spent the next two days in the bamboo forest.
During this time, he caught up with Nie Donghai and Nie Qian and talked to Dong Li.
As for the women that had come from all over the Domain of the Falling Stars harboring various intentions, he only met a handful that he was familiar with and shut his door to the others.
Two days later, he went to the mountain peak behind Cloudsoaring Mountain to meet Wu Ji.
Wu Ji was sitting in the lotus position in his hut on the mist-wreathed mountaintop, as if he were in a different space and time. As Nie Tian approached him, he had a feeling as if time was being reversed, and his past started to flash before his eyes.
Therefore, he stood there and waited. Only after a long time did Wu Ji awake, as if his soul had finally come back from a distant journey.
Wu Ji smiled warmly as he opened his eyes. “You’re back. I’ve heard about what happened in the Realm of Mystic Heaven. I also didn’t expect that it would be you who finally defeated the outsiders by activating the grand spell formation left by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace with your fragmentary star marks.”
“I didn’t know I would either,” Nie Tian said. “It’s hard to believe that even though the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace has disappeared for thousands of years, their spell formation is still secretly protecting the Realm of Mystic Heaven.”
Wu Ji took a small book from his inner pocket and handed it to Nie Tian. “Here, this is the book I told you about. I spent a long time collecting this information. I hope it’ll prove useful to you. You can stay here and go through it. Ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand.”
Nie Tian grabbed the book but didn’t start reading right away. Instead, he said, “Master, I managed to restore Bloodline Crystal Chains to the Bone Blood Demon’s heart with my Blood Essence in the Realm of a Hundred Battles. I didn’t know that my Blood Essence actually had such a profound use.”
Wu Ji’s eyes lit up as he said, “Your Blood Essence carries the profound truths of life power, which is very rare. Even I don’t know much about it. You’ll probably have to see for yourself as to what kind of bloodline talent you’ll awaken and whether you’ll be able to enter some magical realm with the help of your bloodline to deepen your understanding of your bloodline power and mastery of your bloodline magics.
“The book only records the features of the commonly seen outsider races’ bloodlines.”
Nie Tian nodded slowly, showing that he understood.
Afterwards, he didn’t ask any more questions, but rather read the book Wu Ji had written for him wholeheartedly on a large rock atop the mountain peak.
Wu Ji had notified Jiang Zhisu that no one should come to the back mountain during this time.
Nie Tian needed absolute silence to derive enlightenment.
Jiang Zhisu understood his concerns and thus informed all those who had come to the Cloudsoaring Sect to visit Nie Tian that Nie Tian was in the middle of secluded cultivation, and sent them back politely.
Therefore, Nie Tian studied the thin book about outsider bloodlines without any distractions from the outside world.
Even though the book only had a few dozen pages, it carried Wu Ji’s deep understanding of outsider bloodlines, which turned out to be very eye-opening for Nie Tian.
It said in the book that the advancement of outsiders’ bloodline power was closely related to the refinement of their fleshly bodies.
Only when their fleshly bodies were strong enough would they gain rapid growth in their bloodline power.
The awakening of their bloodline talents also, to a large extent, depended on the refinement of their fleshly bodies.
At the same time, many of the outsiders’ bloodline talents had the effect of strengthening their fleshly bodies, which would form a virtuous cycle.
That was why most outsider races possessed fleshly bodies that were much tougher than those of humans.
The outsiders emphasized the cultivation of their bloodline power, flesh power, and soul power, unlike humans, who mostly focused on the cultivation of their spiritual power.
Outsiders gained the majority of their various bloodline magics by awakening their bloodlines, which was thanks to the accumulation of their clan ancestors.
Only a few outsiders would have the opportunity to enter some mysterious spaces, where they could pick up divine bloodline magics left by ancient monarchs of their races.
Meanwhile, outsiders could also stimulate and magnify their bloodline power with tools. However, human spiritual tools couldn’t achieve such results.
