Chapter 703: The Decline and Death of Realms (2/2)

“That way, the energies that took unknown amounts of time to form will eventually run out.

“When that happens, even realms that were once very alive will become dead realms.

“Originally, there were more a dozen realms in the Domain of the Falling Stars.However, as time passed, many of them became dead realms, and now only nine are left.

“Oh, sorry. There should be ten now. The Realm of Split Void should be included in the Domain of the Falling Stars again.”

Wu Ji went on and told him that each and every realm could be considered to be a spiritual mine.

Once the spiritual minerals there were exhausted, the mine would lose its value and be abandoned.

Every realm went from being full of life force to declining and dying. Normally, this would happen over a very long time.

What determined the length of the process was the number and strength of the beings that lived in the realm.

Once living beings discovered a thriving realm, they would soon set up headquarters or branches in it and start mining its resources. Powerful experts would start absorbing the energies in the air.

The more powerful they were, the faster they would exhaust the energies, and the faster the realm would die.

Even if they weren’t very powerful individually, but were in great numbers, they would also drain the realm of its resources at a fast speed.

Now, there were Qi warrior sects in each realm in the Domain of the Falling Stars. As they continued to take in disciples build up their sects, they consumed more and more of their realms’ resources, and pushed their realms closer and closer towards death.

That meant each and every realm in the Domain of the Falling Stars would become dead realms one day.

However, the current Realm of Split Void was a unique existence. Even though no one knew where those foreign energies were coming from, as long as they continued to pour into the Void Illusion Mountain Range, and turned into pure spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Realm of Split Void would never die.

In fact, not only would it never die, but it would become more and more prosperous.

Even the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries probably didn’t have a realm this unique, not to mention a weak realm like the Domain of the Falling Stars.

It was none other than the promising future of the Realm of Split Void that made Wu Ji realize that it was a good idea to have Nie Donghai and the others move here first.

After hearing his explanation, Nie Tian’s understanding of the development of realms and stars rose to a whole new level.

He also realized that, if a powerful Qi warrior sect were to thrive forever, they would have to keep looking for realms with rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and move their headquarters from time to time.

Another option would be to find a realm like the Realm of Split Void that had inexhaustible spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Other than that, the fourth set of coordinates in the teleportation portal in the grand palace would connect the Realm of Split Void to the outside world, which made the status of the Realm of Split Void even more special in the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Wu Ji was well-aware of this, and so were the Soul realm experts from the other sects.

Hua Mu, Zong Zheng, Dong Wangling, and many other experts sought opportunities to talk to Nie Tian, expressing their intentions to move their headquarters to the Realm of Split Void.

Even though they hadn’t encountered a resource shortage yet, they knew that their realms would eventually be drained of cultivation resources.

Therefore, they all hoped to move to the Realm of Split Void. Also, from the Realm of Split Void, they would be able to explore the starry river in order to find the rare materials they needed to build inner realms.

Nie Tian had a headache listening to their pleading, and thus bid them farewell and left for the Heavenly Thunder Mountain Range in the Realm of Earth Sieve.

On the third day after Lei Tianqi had left, Nie Tian arrived in the Thunder Mountain Sect’s headquarters, where Lei Tianqi personally received him and had him teleported to the designated location.
