Chapter 874: All Kinds of Secrets (2/2)

“Profound realm cultivators can live up to a thousand years. Soul realm cultivators can live up to three thousand years.

“The Void domain is another hurdle. Once they cross it, their lifespan will extend to a hundred thousand years.

“The limit of a Saint domain cultivator’s lifespan is three hundred thousand years.

“God domain cultivators can live as long as eight hundred thousand years.”

With these words, Huang Jinnan sighed again. “But even God domain human experts’ lifespans are far shorter than those of outsider experts.

“Outsider grand monarchs can easily live for hundreds of thousands of years. Some can even live for a million years. This is something humans can’t imagine to achieve.

“Titans and Ancientbeasts can live even longer than outsiders.

“Besides, they don’t have to make much effort to earn extra years. They are born with long lifespans, so as long as they don’t get killed, their bloodlines will gradually upgrade on their own. They don’t have to worry that they’ll die very early just because they failed to upgrade fast enough.

“Humans, however, face lifespan problems on a regular basis, so we have to exert ourselves to practice cultivation, and do everything we can to accumulate spiritual power.

“But perhaps this is the reason why humans progress faster in strength than outsiders and Ancientspirits.

“It’s easier for us to climb to the peak of power, but it’s also easier for us to run out of our lifespans and die on our way up. Unlike us, Ancientspirits and outsiders can take their time to upgrade. So it’s very common for Ancientspirits and outsiders to live for a few hundred thousand years.”

With a curious expression, Nie Tian said, “You’re the Five Elements Sect’s Divine Son of the metal element section, but it seems to me that you’re very young for a man with your status, and your cultivation base isn’t very intimidating.”

Huang Jinnan’s face grew somewhat grim as he said, “I’m the weakest of all of the Divine Children of my sect, and that’s because I was only recently chosen to become a Divine Son. The former Divine Son of the metal section died fighting outsiders in a remote domain. He was just one step away from entering the Void domain when he died. It was such a pity.

“Only after his death was I chosen to take his place.

“Since I haven’t been in this position for very long, my cultivation base hasn’t risen very high, and I’m still much weaker than the other four Divine Sons and Daughters.”

Nie Tian’s eyes suddenly lit up as he said inwardly, “Divine Son... Divine Daughter...”

Something suddenly occurred to him.

He remembered that the first owner of the Flame Dragon Armor seemed to be named the Daughter of Flames.

A man named Pang Chicheng had killed her and become the Flame Dragon Armor’s second owner.

The Five Elements Sect consisted of a metal element section, wood element section, water element section, flame element section, and earth element section. Could that Daughter of Flames have been the Divine Daughter of the flame element section?

Was it possible that the powerful experts of the Five Elements Sect had forged the Flame Dragon Armor for her?

A series of thoughts rapidly flashed across Nie Tian’s mind.

The whole time, he had worried that if he had summoned the Flame Dragon Armor, its intense flesh aura would attract an alarming amount of tainted energies. Therefore, he hadn’t used it, and Huang Jinnan hadn’t seen it so far.

“Well, is there a person called the Daughter of Flames in your sect?” Nie Tian asked.

Looking confused, Huang Jinnan asked, “Didn’t you say that you’d never heard of me or my sect? How do you know my senior martial sister’s name?”

“Ah, that’s what I thought,” Nie Tian said with a surprised look on his face.

Then, he gave a dry smile and explained, “I heard that name from someone in one of the places I explored. What you said got me wondering, so I asked that question. Is she still alive?”

“She was set up and killed by a thief, and lost one of our sect’s most powerful magical treasures,” Huang Jinnan said. “But a wisp of her soul managed to escape. Now, after a thousand years, she has already been reborn and returned to her peak cultivation base, the early Void domain.”

Nie Tian’s eyelids twitched slightly.

He hadn’t expected the Flame Dragon Armor to be a powerful magical treasure of the Five Elements Sect.

It was even more unexpected that the Daughter of Flames hadn’t truly died, but instead had been reborn and recovered her early Void domain cultivation base.

Fortunately, Pang Chicheng had erased most of the Flame Dragon Armor’s memories of the Daughter of Flames, and the Flame Dragon Armor had acknowledged him completely after so many rounds of refinement.

However, if Huang Jinnan learned that he had one of his sect’s most powerful magical treasures in his possession...

As his train of thought reached this point, he grew cautious when talking to Huang Jinnan.

Furthermore, he was worried that Yin Yanan and Mu Biqiong would reveal such information, and thus stopped asking about the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. He found an excuse to leave Huang Jinnan and rejoin the girls on Xie Wanting’s air-transportation spiritual tool.

He signaled Xie Wanting to slow down and put a certain distance between them and Huang Jinnan.

“From now on, pretend you’ve never seen that suit of armor of mine, and don’t mention it to anyone,” Nie Tian said with all seriousness. “It might have deep connections to the Five Elements Sect.”
