Chapter 783: The Wonders of Soul Crystals (1/2)

The Star Boat suddenly came to a stop as it flew close to the short mountain peak that was enveloped in a sea of white mist.

Even from a certain distance, Nie Tian sensed an unsettling aura from it, as if time had stopped in its surroundings.

The vast white mist seemed to be his master’s sea of soul awareness, within which lay the profound truths of time power.

Nie Tian looked over with rapt attention, and discovered that the white mist had completely blocked the mountaintop from his sight, and his master was nowhere to be seen.

He pondered briefly, then unleashed his Heaven Eyes.

The nine invisible Heaven Eyes floated ethereally towards the short mountain peak. As soon as they made contact with the white mist, they froze completely.

They seemed to become subject to time power’s influence as well, as they were imprisoned in the sea of white mist.

Meanwhile, Nie Tian couldn’t even have his soul awareness separate itself from the Heaven Eyes to sense Wu Ji’s presence.

However, through his Heaven Eyes, Nie Tian could see some medicinal herbs and pills floating in the depths of the mist.

Those herbs and pills, which contained faint soul power, must be the soul-nourishing materials Fang Hui, Chang Sen, and the other experts had found for Wu Ji.

It was just that Nie Tian sensed that Wu Ji’s soul awareness had split into countless wisps that were dispersed within the white mist.

Furthermore, Wu Ji’s soul awareness seemed to be in a disordered and bewildered state as it drifted around the short mountain peak, deriving enlightenment of the profound truths of time power.

Only when Wu Ji’s drifting soul awareness made contact with those floating herbs and pills would it absorb their faint soul power.

It was as if Wu Ji had sealed his body and soul in some unfathomable space, where time was frozen.

WHOOSH!

Chang Sen, Fang Hui, Li Jing, and the others flew over soundlessly, and came to a stop beside the Star Boat.

Without further approaching the short mountain peak, Chang Sen said with a complicated expression, “He’s been in this state for quite a while now. This short mountain peak is wreathed in time power. Even I can’t get too close. I tried to approach the short mountain peak, but my body and soul started to slow down at an alarming rate. I barely made it out of there.”

Nie Tian’s eyes widened. “Even you failed?!”

At this time, Chang Sen from the Hell Sect had already broken through into the Soul realm, and he had been the first one in the Realm of Flame Heaven to do so in recent centuries.

His breakthrough in cultivation had been as smooth as water.

Wu Ji had entered the Soul realm after him.

However, he had entered such a state soon after his breakthrough, as if he had failed to walk out of the field of time power he had created.

Chang Sen gave a bitter smile. “Your master practices time power, which is very rare even among the powerful experts in other domains, not to mention the Domain of the Falling Stars. It was his profound mastery of time power that allowed him to kill multiple seventh grade outsiders when he was only at the Profound realm.

“But it’s also for this reason that none of us know exactly what he was going through. I only have a feeling that some mishap might have happened during his breakthrough.”

Eyebrows furrowed, Nie Tian said, “Are you sure that soul-nourishing materials will be able to help him?”

Chang Sen nodded. “I think so, but they are very hard to find. In the Domain of the Falling Stars, there are a variety of materials that can help strengthen Worldly realm or Profound realm cultivators’ souls. But cultivators at the Soul realm...” He sighed. “The soul power in the herbs and pills we could find was very limited.”

“This is easy,” Nie Tian said.

With these words, a number of black crystals flew out of his ring of holding.

Glittering like black stars, the black crystals of irregular shapes flew towards the short mountain peak one after another.

Each and every one of them contained pure soul power that was incalculably richer than the soul power in those herbs and pills.

Fang Hui, Li Jing, and the other experts’ expressions flickered drastically as they examined the crystals with their soul awareness.

They sensed incomparably rich soul power from every one of them.

Also, such soul power didn’t contain the slightest impurities, as if any living being’s soul would be able absorb it completely.

Fang Hui couldn’t help but ask, “What are those crystals, Nie Tian?”
