Chapter 944: Forces Cross Over (1/2)

Normally speaking, minor breakthroughs in cultivation wouldn’t cause fundamental changes.

However, Nie Tian was surprised by how smooth this breakthrough was. It was as if his state of mind matched his new cultivation base perfectly. Therefore, he didn’t encounter any difficulties during the whole process. As soon as the refinement of his spiritual cores reached the required level, he advanced into the middle Profound realm naturally.

Then, as a large number of spirit jades and spiritual materials of different attributes were drained of their power and cracked, Nie Tian stabilized his newly-achieved cultivation base.

After that, he walked out of his cabin. Standing on the deck, he gazed off into the distance, and was soon carried away by a curious feeling that his soul was going to leave his body, and that he was going to transcend into an immortal state.

Xie Qian and Jing Feiyang remained in their cabins.

The two of them had gleaned brand new knowledge from Nie Tian’s aura while he had been deriving enlightenment from what he had learned from the Divine Flame.

The profound knowledge regarding the changes in heaven and earth, the evolution of domains, and the truths of life seemed to have touched them deeply, allowing their understanding of these profound subjects to rise to a whole new level.

As they combined this new enlightenment with the spiritual incantations they practiced, the development of their domains benefited a great deal from it.

“Hmm?”

Two new ancient starships suddenly entered Nie Tian’s sight as he gazed off into the distance.

One of them was hanging the Golden Vast Sect’s banner, while the other was hanging the Thousandsword Mountain Sect’s banner.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

One figure after another flashed into appearance on the decks of Nie Tian’s and the Water Moon Sect’s ancient starships.

Xie Qian and Jing Feiyang also surfaced. They examined the rapidly-approaching ancient starships with surprised looks on their faces.

“Why are they here?” Jing Feiyang muttered, looking puzzled. “From the look of it, they’ve been waiting here for some time.”

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Quan Zixuan from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect and Qu Mingde from the Golden Vast Sect enveloped themselves in protective wards as they flew off their ancient starships towards Nie Tian’s.

As they did, many Void domain experts quietly appeared on the decks of their ancient starships.

Those powerful experts from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect and the Golden Vast Sect fixed their gazes on Nie Tian, a mixture of apprehension and reverence filling their faces.

Nie Tian was taken aback. “You...”

Quan Zixuan and Qu Mingde came to a stop a few dozen meters from him. Floating in the void, they bowed slightly towards Nie Tian, and said, “Greetings, seventh Son of the Stars.”

Their attitude was completely different from the last time they had met in the Divine Seal Sect’s palace in the Realm of Maelstrom.

Back then, they had been indifferent and discontent. They had used Pei Qiqi and Zhao Shanling as the reasons why they had to make a clean break with Nie Tian.

This time, however, they had brought their subordinates and waited here for him. After he had appeared, they had flown up to him at the first possible moment.

It didn’t matter it was their manners or their actions, they had humbled themselves in front of Nie Tian.

Jing Feiyang, Xie Qian, Duan Shihu, Jing Rou, and the others were all confused after seeing this. None of them knew what the two of them were up to.

Quan Zixuan was the first to express their intent. Sagging his head, he said, “After serious consideration, I’ve made a new decision, and the Thousandsword Mountain Sect hopes to become your subordinate sect.”

Qu Mingde chimed in, “We, the Golden Vast Sect, have made the same decision.”

As soon as the two of then finished speaking, a clamor burst out among everyone that was gathered around Nie Tian.

Just very recently, a talk among them had ended rather unpleasantly. Quan Zixuan had adopted a tough stance, and Qu Mingde had left in indignation.

Who would have thought now that Nie Tian had just crossed the border into the Domain of Heaven Python, these two had approached him to express that they had changed their minds, and that they were willing to follow him from now on?

The fact that the two of them had given in meant that no one from the Domain of Heaven Python would oppose Nie Tian anymore.

The Divine Seal Sect, the Thousandsword Mountain Sect, and the Golden Vast Sect had controlled the Domain of Heaven Python for thousands of years. Now that they had all chosen to join Nie Tian, how could the other minor sects still oppose him?

“Why?” Nie Tian asked.

Qu Mingde smiled bitterly. “To be completely honest, we learned what happened, and we’re scared.”
