Chapter 698: The Palace That Rises to the Ground (2/2)

Now that the palace was completely unveiled, the earth stopped rumbling.

Nie Tian’s three fragmentary star marks, which had flown out of his chest earlier, morphed into three streaks of starlight and returned to him.

Gazing up into the heavens, Li Langfeng said, looking overwhelmed, as if he were in a dream, “Great changes are happening to the Realm of Split Void!

“Look, Nie Tian! The air in the Realm of Split Void used to be filled with tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. We could almost never see a starlit sky like this.

“Also, it seems to me that the distance between those dazzling stars in the sky and us is now closer now than ever.

“And the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that used to fill the sky seems to have been purged somehow.”

With these words, he took a deep breath, then his expression flickered violently as he exclaimed, “No, the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth has not been purged! It’s been changed! The Demon Qi, Phantasm Qi, Fiend Qi, and many other energies that were harmful to us cultivators are being refined and turned into rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth!”

Nie Tian didn’t respond. Instead, he focused on sensing the air around him with his eyes closed.

His perception of the changes in the air was deeper than Li Langfeng’s. Since he practiced the Fragmentary Star Incantation, he had shrewdly discovered the subtle change in the increase of star power in the air.

The stars in the heavens were shining increasingly brightly since the magnificent ancient palace had risen from the depths of the earth.

Countless wisps of star power seemed to be attracted by the ancient palace, as they quietly converged on it.

Nie Tian wondered what kind of material the palace was made from, which actually allowed it to automatically channel star power from the heavens.

Meanwhile, the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in an increasingly large area around the ancient palace was being converted into rich and pure spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

The Realm of Split Void was once the largest and most special realm in the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Back in the day, the Void Palace Sect, which had possessed unparalleled power in the Domain of the Falling Stars and overshadowed the Heaven Palace Sect for many years, had been based in the Realm of Split Void.

The Realm of Split Void was only crossed from the Domain of the Falling Stars because its once rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth had been tainted by all sorts of impurities that had leaked into it through the spatial rifts in the Void Illusion Mountain Range, which had rendered it unfit to cultivate in.

Now, thanks to the appearance of the ancient palace, the various kinds of impurities in the air throughout the entire Realm of Split Void were going to be refined and turned into the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Originally, the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Split Void had been richer than that in the Realm of Mystic Heaven. It was just that it was polluted by all sorts of impurities.

If all of the impurities could be refined and turned back into spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Split Void would become even richer than it had ever been.

Not just that, but poisonous foreign energies were still pouring into the Realm of Split Void through the spatial rifts in the Void Illusion Mountain Range.

If all of those energies were to be continuously turned into spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, it would make the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Split Void even richer.

Rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth would allow Qi warriors to gather power and make breakthroughs more efficiently.

At the same time, if copious spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth filled every corner of the realm, it would eventually produce large amounts of spirit stones and spirit jades.

From the look of it, the Realm of Split Void would become a blessed land in the near future.

Perhaps powerful experts from all over the Domain of the Falling Stars would choose to come and cultivate in the Realm of Split Void.

Li Langfeng ran his gaze up and down the majestic palace for a long time before finally saying, “This palace… It has something to do with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, doesn’t it?”

Smiling, Nie Tian said, “That’s right. It was left here by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. You’d better stay here. I’ll go take a look inside.”

With these words, he strode towards the palace.

The palace looked like a sealed fortress with only one huge stone gate, which was now tightly shut. All of the windows were also shut at this moment.

After marching up to the stone gate, he reached out with both hands and summoned his star power.

Misty starlight wreathed his hands as he gave the huge stone gate a vigorous push.

WHOOSH!

The heavy gate opened, and he stepped inside.

As soon as he stepped through the gate into the spacious hall, he felt like he was reliving the time when he had fought for fragmentary star marks in the mysterious palace in the depths of the starry river during the Heaven Gate trial.

The inside of this palace had so many similarities with that one.

The dome of the hall was transparent, and he could see the starlit sky. Each and every star looked extremely close to him, as if he would be able to touch them just by extending his arms.

The inner walls were also engraved with countless star formations. Numerous stone rooms surrounded the great hall.

In the middle of the great hall stood a large-scale teleportation portal, through which he wondered where he could teleport to.
