Chapter 841: The Thunder King Seal (1/2)
The Fortune Well Nie Tian had obtained from Xie Yunhai through their exchange had run dry, without even a shred of wood power coming out of it anymore.
After putting his seventy-two tree branches away, Nie Tian wasn’t in a hurry to find his next Fortune Well. Instead, he sent a wisp of soul awareness to conduct a thorough examination of his spiritual sea.
Normally speaking, a minor breakthrough in cultivation wouldn’t cause great changes to a cultivator’s spiritual sea. He found that his spiritual core had expanded slightly, and the liquidized spiritual power within it had become more concentrated and pure.
At the same time, each of his three vortexes of different powers had expanded a few times, allowing them to hold more power.
These were all of the changes that had taken place within his spiritual sea.
Then, as he withdrew his soul awareness, he discovered that his true soul within his sea of awareness had become unprecedentedly clear.
Countless soul strands could be seen within his true soul, like the complicated meridian network of a cultivator, through which were flowing pure soul power.
As for his nine star souls, nothing seemed to have changed. They still shone as brightly as stars in a night sky.
However, he realized that after his breakthrough and the expansion of his spiritual core and three vortexes, he now needed a significant amount of power.
Normally, he would channel power from all kinds of spiritual materials to fill his spiritual core and three vortexes. After they all brimmed with power, he would use the additional power to refine them.
This was usually a long process, which couldn’t be achieved overnight.
“But there seems to be a shortcut now.” Gazing at the distant Fortune Wells, over which cultivators and outsiders were fighting to death, he itched to try something out.
Of course, the shortcut he was referring to was those Fortune Wells.
As long as he could find Fortune Wells that spewed flame power, star power, wood power, pure spiritual power, or flesh power, then he would be able to brim with power again, and start the next round of self-refinement within a short period of time.
He had come to this realization from his most recent cultivation with the Fortune Well that had spewed wood power essence.
The energies coming out of these Fortune Wells contained some profound fortune of heaven and earth, which could greatly accelerate the refinement of his spiritual core and vortexes, even getting him ready for his next breakthrough within a short time.
“If I can accumulate all the kinds of power I need within a short time, I may actually have a chance at making two breakthroughs in a row, and entering the Profound realm!”
As his train of thought came to this point, he instantly jumped onto the Bone Blood Demon’s shoulder without the slightest hesitation.
Sitting on the shoulder of the mountain-like Bone Blood Demon, he glance down with rapt attention. Soon, his gaze landed on a Fortune Well, over which a human cultivator and a sixth grade Earth Flame Beast were having a fierce fight.
That Fortune Well was spewing raging flames.
The human cultivator was fighting the sixth grade Earth Flame Beast in midair using a long crimson spear.
Like disciples of the Divine Flame Sect, that cultivator practiced fire incantations.
The crimson spear in his hand seemed to have been forged from the bone of some Ancientbeast. As he brandished it, raging flames shot from it, morphing into a blazing beast.
Nie Tian examined it with rapt attention, and discovered that it was actually a flame qilin.
Like vermilion birds, flame qilins were also Ancientbeasts from the Desolate Antiquity Era that were born with formidable bloodline power.
The man’s long spear had been forged by distinguished human equipment forgers with a bone taken from a flame qilin and a hundred different kinds of metals. By doing this, they seemed to have even partially awakened the flame qilin’s bloodline power.
The flame qilin’s bloodline power seemed to have a suppressing effect on the Earth Flame Beast. The Earth Flame Beast unleashed a sea of torrential flames, yet it didn’t hurt the man in the slightest.
“I wonder what grade that spear is at.” Nie Tian pondered in silence for a few seconds before letting out a cold snort and flying towards that Fortune Well on the Bone Blood Demon.
Along his way, many humans and outsiders who were engaged in fierce battles stayed their hands upon seeing the Bone Blood Demon, and gave way to it out of apprehension.
The Bone Blood Demon gradually approached Mo Qinglei on its way to its target.
Standing by his Fortune Well, Mo Qinglei seemed to have just drained it of its lightning power.
He was originally at the middle Profound realm, but now that he had drained that Fortune Well of its lightning power, he had the confidence to advance to the late Profound realm within a short time.
But even so, he didn’t dare to make the breakthrough in such a place.
After all, his sixth grade Thunder Beast wasn’t powerful enough to protect him from the potential danger while he finished the breakthrough process.
As the Bone Blood Demon was about to fly over his head, anger suddenly appeared in his eyes as he shouted, “The piece of sky over my head is my territory too. No one is allowed to trespass!”
Even his Thunder Beast let out low bellows, as if to display its strength.
In fact, since the moment Mo Qinglei had claimed that Fortune Well, he had attacked every human and outsider who had ever attempted to fly over him.
Some of them had died at his hands, while two outsiders had sustained serious injuries and fled in sore straits.
As the Heavenly Thunder Sect’s future sectmaster, Mo Qinglei had powerful magical treasures in his possession, and had always behaved in an arrogant and overbearing manner.
He was well-aware that Nie Tian wouldn’t be easy to deal with, yet he dared to berated him as the Bone Blood Demon flew close to his ‘territory’. This proved that not only was he not afraid of Nie Tian, but he also didn’t fear Yin Yanan and Mu Biqiong.
Nie Tian’s eyes suddenly grew icy. “Do you have a problem?”
As he sent a soul message to the Bone Blood Demon, it dove directly towards the Fortune Well Mo Qinglei was standing by.
Originally, he could have steered clear of Mo Qinglei. However, Mo Qinglei’s words seemed to have provoked him, and now he was bent on passing right over his head.
Upon his arrival, Mo Qinglei had stolen this Fortune Well from an old man, and said that he would take another Fortune Well like this one for his Thunder Beast.
