Chapter 659: Sects from Another Domain (2/2)
Since it was impossible to have their Profound realm and Soul realm experts focus on the refinement of their fleshly bodies instead of their own cultivation, and even if they had, they would only achieve limited results, they had chosen a number of children born with exceptionally tough bodies and spent many years training their physical strength and refining their fleshly bodies with special incantations.
They had done all that for one purpose: have those juniors enter this unique realm and secure Master Voidspirit’s legacies.
This was the seventh team the Bliss Mountain Sect had sent to explore this mysterious realm. This time, they had sent every single one of this group of juniors. Clearly, they were determined to secure Master Voidspirit’s legacies this time.
However, word of their operation had somehow leaked out before they had set out. Therefore, the Trisword Sect had also sent a team, which had encountered them by the cluster of black light.
However, the Trisword Sect had acted in such a hurry that, compared to the Bliss Mountain Sect, their preparations were far too insufficient. Some of their powerful experts had been killed during their first encounter by the entrance.
The Qi warriors from the Trisword Sect were at an even greater disadvantage in this special realm. All of them had eventually been hunted down and killed.
The remaining Bliss Mountain Sect disciples had been roaming the area to check if there were still any Trisword Sect survivors.
“The Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries...” Zhao Shanling said with a smile, strong interest brimming his eyes. “If your star map also has the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries marked out as its destination, we might as well go there after we’re finished in this damn place. That domain should be much more interesting than the Domain of the Falling Stars.
“Void domain experts in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries already possess the ability to build starships.
“The powerful Qi warrior sects there can also stand up to outsider clans as equals. Some of the sects fight outsiders year-round, while others cooperate with outsiders. In some of the realms, outsiders even live and trade with humans.”
“Do we still go on and fight people from the Bliss Mountain Sect for Master Voidspirit’s legacies?” Nie Tian asked.
“That depends on you,” Zhao Shanling said with an enlivened look in his eyes. “From what I can tell, your fleshly body is far tougher than that of those juniors from the Bliss Mountain Sect. But I’m afraid I won’t be of much help in here. All I can do is to try to stay out of your way. If you have confidence that you’ll be able to overtake the juniors from the Bliss Mountain Sect who have received special body training, then we should keep going.”
His eyes brimmed with anticipation as he said these words. Clearly, he was reluctant to give up on Master Voidspirit’s legacies.
As a late Void domain expert of spatial power, his legacies appealed to Zhao Shanling so much that he was even willing to risk his life to obtain them.
“Now that we’ve come this far and haven’t come across any worthy opponents, why don’t we keep going?” Nie Tian said with a tentative tone.
“Good!” Zhao Shanling’s face split into a smile as he took out a suit of leather armor, on which was sewn numerous small and thin bone plates.
Carefully, he put the armor on and said, “This isn’t spiritual armor. It can’t be activated with spiritual power. It’s made from the skin of a seventh grade Blood Stripe Python, which is tough enough to resist fire and water. The thin bone plates sewn onto it were made from the bones of a seventh grade Wind Spirit Beast.
“Wind Spirit Beasts’ bones are very light. That’s the only reason I’m able to wear this armor in this place.
“The other spirit beasts’ leather and bones are far too heavy for me now. I have no problem wearing any armor out there when I can use my spiritual power, but not in here.”
After he finished tying every knot, he added, “I can be slightly relaxed traveling in this place now that I have this armor on. After all, it won’t be very easy for people to penetrate it with nothing but their flesh power.”
With these words, he took out a bottle of medicinal pills and handed it to Nie Tian with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. “These are Blood Vitality Pills, which I had custom made by Qian Buhui from the Pill Pavilion Sect. “They’re refined from spirit beast blood. Unlike regular Blood Vitality Pills, these I had custom made can provide a stable stream of flesh power.”
Nie Tian grabbed the bottle and stuffed a pill down his throat. Immediately afterwards, he felt wisps of flesh power spreading to his limbs.
However, the flesh power it provided was too little for his needs, as if it was trying to put out a cart of burning firewood with a cup of water.
Then he took a moment to think about it, and realized that, since Zhao Shanling didn’t practice body refinement incantations, his body could only accept a limited volume of flesh power.
If he was provided with flesh power that was too vigorous, it would not only be of no use to him, but it would also become his burden.
These Blood Vitality Pills could provide a continuous but small stream of flesh power, which was enough to meet Zhao Shanling’s need for flesh power as a commoner in this special realm.
However, even a hundred of these Blood Vitality Pills wouldn’t meet Nie Tian’s need for flesh power. If he wanted to replenish his flesh power, he would still have to absorb flesh power from the outsider corpses with Life Drain.
Nie Tian shook his head and handed the bottle of Blood Vitality Pills back to Zhao Shanling. “You keep them. They’re no good to me. The flesh power they can provide is too little to meet my consumption.”
Zhao Shanling gave a cold snort and grabbed the bottle. “If I didn’t have to place all of my hopes in you, since your puppet can’t be used in here, I wouldn’t have given them to you in the first place.”
“Alright, alright,.” Nie Tian said, smiling. “Even though my puppet is out of the question, you can still rely on me.”
Afterwards, the two of them looted spirit stones and spiritual materials from the dead, and then set out again with cautious expressions.
Nie Tian knew that he couldn’t use his psychic awareness, and neither could Zhao Shanling use his soul power. Therefore, he scanned his surroundings with his flesh aura.
