Chapter 966: Returning to Fragmentary Star City (1/2)

The reestablishment of a teleportation portal meant that the exploration of this new domain would be accident-free from now on.

Even if the vanished Lizardmen returned, they wouldn’t have a chance at retaking this domain from Lou Hongyan and Huang Jinnan.

Having had their teleportation portal destroyed once, the two of them stationed heavy forces to guard this new teleportation portal.

As long as the teleportation portal stood, they would be able to gain endless reinforcements from the Five Elements Sect.

The Five Elements Sect was one of the four great human powers that had God domain experts. How could those Lizardmen contend against such a force?

Nie Tian felt somewhat frustrated. “I’ve spent six months grinding on the fourth step of Heavenly Wood Heal, Flesh Tempering, and consumed several eighth grade Lizardman corpses, but I still haven’t made any significant progress.”

He suddenly had a feeling that since he practiced multiple powers simultaneously, his path of cultivation might indeed be rougher than others.

During the past six months, he had focused on practicing Heavenly Wood Heal, so he didn’t have the time or energy to refine his spiritual cores of different attributes.

Even with the help of the flame spark, the three tree leaves, and the Nine Stars Flower, he felt that his progress had been far too slow.

If he had limited his cultivation to star power, perhaps his cultivation base would have advanced much faster.

“It seems I’ll need to spend a period of time focusing on my cultivation after this exploration trip.” Nie Tian thought it was about time he stopped traveling around and went into secluded cultivation.

SHEW!

He summoned the Star Boat, jumped on board, and flew towards the Lizardman capital.

After some repairs, there was almost no sign of the city being bombarded by meteors. Everything looked the same as before.

At this moment, the Lizardmen weren’t in the city. Instead, they had been driven by Lou Hongyan and Huang Jinnan’s subordinates to mine spiritual minerals for them.

At the center of the city stood a glowing large-scale teleportation portal. People kept coming out of it.

The teleportation portal connected to the Five Elements Sect, as well as Huang Jinnan’s ancient starship that was berthed in the Realm of Maelstrom. Therefore, those who streamed into this domain through it were not only Qi warriors from the Five Elements Sect, but also Nie Tian’s followers that had been waiting in the Realm of Maelstrom.

Upon seeing the Star Boat, everyone including Jing Feiyang, Quan Zixuan, Qu Mingde, Fan Kai, Jiang Feng, and Yue Yanxi, exclaimed in high spirits, “Nie Tian!”

All of them had come from the Realm of Maelstrom after the new teleportation portal was established.

Upon arriving, they had learned from Huang Jinnan and Lou Hongyan’s subordinates that they had already taken this domain from the Lizardmen, and that Nie Tian had played the most crucial role in the battle.

Since Nie Tian was the one they had chosen to follow, they felt honored by him.

People who had arrived thanks to their close relationships with Huang Jinnan or Lou Hongyan fixed Nie Tian with measuring gazes, and discussed among themselves.

“Is he the seventh Son of the Stars? Was it him who took away the human-form Lizardman patriarch’s bone weapon and turned the situation around?”

“Being able to determine the result of such a battle when he’s only at the Profound realm, who would have thought of that?”

“He gained the most from this battle, since he will be allowed to choose one of the three realms as his trophy!”

At this moment, Huang Jinnan laughed heartily and beckoned for him to come over. “Your timing is perfect. While you practiced cultivation, we went to the other two realms and conducted thorough scans of these three realms. Can you guess what spiritual materials we’ve found?”

Lou Hongyan smiled as well, looking at him.

Nie Tian laughed. “How can I know that? However, since you’re so excited, I’d say you’ve found some good fortune.”

Lou Hongyan nodded. “Yeah, we never expected this, but these Lizardman realms are actually blessed lands.”

Afterwards, Huang Jinnan explained to Nie Tian that they had discovered a total of seventeen spiritual material mines in all three realms. They were filled with spiritual materials of various attributes, including metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, ice, and some extremely rare attributes.

“We found a special region in another realm where a large number of meteors seemed to have crashed,” Huang Jinnan said. “Many of those meteors contain Star Stones.”

“Star Stones!” Nie Tian exclaimed, looking spirited.

Huang Jinnan nodded. “Exactly! Aside from Star Stones, there are also other spiritual mines and rare spirit herbs and grasses in other regions of that realm. My senior martial sister and I talked, and thought that we should give that realm to you, so what do you think?”

Nie Tian was nothing but assentient.
