Chapter 700: The Abandoned Land Becomes the Blessed Land (1/2)
The full moon hung high in the clear, starlit sky.
Cai Lan from the Blood Skull, Fan Zongshen from the Wild Fire, and Long Qi from the Dark Moon were gathered in front of the magnificent palace that stood towering in the forbidden region.
Zhen Huilan, Pei Qiqi, and Li Ye were also with them.
Cai Lan’s face was filled with excitement as he gazed up the palace. “A grand palace left here by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace!”
He seemed to be on the verge of shouting out loud to vent his excitement.
Fan Zongshen and Long Qi also seemed overjoyed and excited. Even their shoulders trembled slightly.
As the heads of the Blood Skull, the Wild Fire, and the Dark Moon, they had shrewdly discovered the changes in this region and rushed over.
Looking at the magical palace that had risen from the depths of the earth, and sensing the changes in the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, how could they not be excited?
Because of the appearance of this palace, the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth throughout the entire Realm of Split Void was going through thorough changes.
The tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was being refined and turned into fuel that would boost Qi warriors’ cultivation.
With more foreign energies pouring into the Void Illusion Mountain Range through those spatial rifts, the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Split Void would only get richer and richer.
They knew for sure that every corner of the Realm of Split Void would be filled with shockingly rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the near future.
At that time, the Realm of Split Void would return to its most glorious time, or become even more prosperous than it had ever been.
The Blood Skull, the Wild Fire, and the Dark Moon had slowly built themselves up in the Realm of Split Void over the years. They would definitely benefit from such dramatic changes.
From now on, they would no longer need to consume spirit stones to power the grand spell formations that protected Shatter City, Ash City, and the Land of the Abandoned from the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Exposed in a sea of rich spiritual Qi, they and their members would be able to make advancements in their cultivation much faster.
It was as if they could see their organizations rising to prominence, taking advantage of this opportunity.
Frowning, Zhen Huilan gave the three of them a cold sideway glance. “I don’t understand why you’re so happy. You can see the Realm of Split Void rising up again. Do you think others can’t? Do you think you’ll be able to maintain your status in the Realm of Split Void just by relying on your own strength?
“If Nie Tian allows it, many powerful sects and clans from the other realms will give anything to move their headquarters here.
“If that happens, will you still be able to stay in the Realm of Split Void?”
With a weak smile, Cai Lan said, “Nie Tian has long since given me his word that he’ll always be a guest elder of the Blood Skull. I believe he’ll stand by us, and won’t let them force us out of the Realm of Split Void.”
Fan Zongshen from the Wild Fire and Long Qi from the Dark Moon took a look at Cai Lan and gave bitter smiles.
Fan Zongshen put a smile on his face before clasping his hands towards Zhen Huilan and saying respectfully, “Master Zhen… What do you think I can do to prevent the Wild Fire from being forced out of the Realm of Split Void?”
Long Qi also looked unblinkingly at her with an inquiring and respectful look in his eyes.
Zhen Huilan looked up at the magnificent palace and didn’t answer him right away.
In fact, she was also rather emotional, as she had never expected that there had been such a mysterious palace under everyone’s noses for thousands of years, yet no one had discovered it until now.
“Thanks to the unearthing of this palace, great changes are happening in the Realm of Split Void, turning it into a blessed land once again,” said Zhen Huilan.
“Major powers from all over the Domain of the Falling Stars are bound to drool over this blessed land.
“At that time, the powers that are friendly with Nie Tian, such as the Spirit Condor, the Dong Clan, the Ice Pavilion Sect, and the sects from the Realm of Flame Heaven will think up every possible method to get a piece of this blessed land.
“Even though the Realm of Split Void is rather vast, there actually aren’t many locations that are fit to set up headquarters.
“After all, many regions are still roamed by powerful mutant spirit beasts.
“If powerful sects are to move their headquarters here, Shatter City, Ash City, and the Land of the Abandoned will still be their best choices.
“I won’t be surprised if you’re forced out eventually.”
Zhen Huilan had lived in the Realm of Split Void and had been friends with Cai Lan for many years now. She didn’t want to see the major sects taking the Realm of Split Void into their hands.
She pondered in silence for a long time before finally saying, “I have a suggestion for the three of you: cling to Nie Tian. Now, in the Domain of the Falling Stars, Nie Tian stands for the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. If you cling to Nie Tian, you cling to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.
“Nie Tian’s cultivation base is not high enough at the moment, and he hasn’t established connections with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace yet, so many people have ignored the fact that he has the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace at his back.
“Right now, it’s not likely that major sects like the Ice Pavilion Sect and the Dong Clan are willing to set their pride aside and cling to Nie Tian.
“So this gives you a chance. As long as you become Nie Tian’s subordinate organizations, things will stay the way they are, and you’ll get to stay in the Realm of Split Void.
“If you miss this opportunity, by the time Nie Tian gets strong enough and gets in contact with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, you probably won’t even qualify to become his subordinate forces.”
Cai Lan went blank briefly before muttering with a thoughtful expression, “Cling to Nie Tian and become his subordinate force...”
Feng Zongshen and Long Qi also weighed Zhen Huilan’s suggestion with serious expressions.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
At this moment, one air-transportation spiritual tool after another flew over from the Void Illusion Mountain Range, glorious like dashing meteors.
Moments later, they descended in front of the palace one by one.
