Chapter 1010: Seeing Pei Qiqi Again (1/2)
The bone had been about fifteen meters long when he had first obtained it.
After he had fused it with his Blood Essence, it had gone through one change: it had started to channel power from the starry river by itself.
However, now that three years had passed, the bone had somehow grown five meters longer.
Twenty meters long, it now looked like an exceptionally long spear.
Not just that, but he also heard a soul cheer the moment it flew into Nie Tian’s palm.
As he held it, countless wisps of flesh power that he exuded were sucked into the bone.
As he examined it with rapt attention, he even sensed that it had a strong desire for his Blood Essence.
Nie Tian’s expression flickered with astonishment. “It’s yearning for more of my Blood Essence!
“It seems that my Blood Essence will trigger changes in it, but it still has to rely on the various energies in the starry river to grow.
“If I leave it in a secluded area of the starry river, will it be able to grow by itself over decades, centuries, or even millennia?
“If that’s true, does it mean it’ll be able to grow its whole body back some day?”
With this question in mind, he returned to the Vast Heaven Pavilion.
Three days later...
He walked out of the Vast Heaven Pavilion and found that Fang Yuan was already there waiting for him. Gathered around him were three Saint domain experts and a dozen Void domain experts.
Fang Tianyi, who he had helped before, wasn’t among them.
“We’re ready to go, Nie Tian,” Fang Yuan called out to him. “Sikong Cuo and his subordinates have already left for the Void Spirit Society’s headquarters.”
All of his subordinates bowed slightly towards Nie Tian upon seeing him.
Some of them were from the Fang Clan, who had been grateful to him ever since they had learned that Nie Tian had helped Fang Tianyi get rid of the Blood Warden’s residual flesh power.
“He’s really going by himself?” Some of them whispered with complicated looks on their faces.
“I’m all set. Let’s go,” Nie Tian said to Fang Yuan.
...
In the Realm of Void Spirit, where the Void Spirit Society’s headquarters was located.
A number of magnificent palaces stood above the clouds. Time had left its marks on each and every one of them.
Floating in the sky, they looked like stars that would never fall.
Surrounding the floating palaces were numerous spatial rifts, which were very similar to the spatial rifts in the watery curtain over the Realm of Maelstrom. They seemed to connect to any human domain people might want to visit.
Some of the spatial rifts emanated the special auras of space disruption zones.
A spacious platform made of jade could be seen floating by an active spatial rift. The platform was filled with people with solemn faces, as if they were waiting for something.
SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!
Figures dressed in different robes flew out of the spatial rift from time to time, and landed on the jade platform.
Standing beside Mo Heng, the grand elder of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, were Sikong Cuo and his subordinates, all of whom were at the Saint or Void domain.
At this moment, Mo Heng was speaking to two experts from the Five Elements Sect and the Void Spirit Society, their faces grim.
SHEW!
Another figure flew out of the spatial rift and landed on the platform. Mo Heng ended his conversation with the other two experts. A bit of light flickered in his deep, cold eyes.
Eyebrows flickering, a skinny old man from the Void Spirit Society followed Mo Heng’s gaze to look at the person who had just arrived. “Brother Mo, is that your sect’s seventh Son of the Stars?”
Mo Heng nodded.
“He’s at the late Profound realm...” The vice sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society muttered.
At this moment, Huang Jinnan and Lou Hongyan from the Five Elements Sect suddenly called out from afar, “Nie Tian!”
Nie Tian, who hadn’t had a chance to take a good look at the Void Spirit Society, turned around upon hearing their call, and spotted a number of familiar faces.
Huang Jinnan, Lou Hongyan, and their subordinates were all nodding towards Nie Tian with faint smiles.
Nie Tian had met Yang Fan, Zhao Heng, and many of them during their exploration of the Lizardman domain.
“How come you’re here too?” Nie Tian asked with a smile. With these words, he left Fang Yuan’s side and walked to Huang Jinnan and Lou Hongyan. “You were summoned to join this operation in the Domain of Nether Heaven as well?”
Huang Jinnan nodded slightly. “My senior martial sister was. As for me, I asked to join her after learning that you were going.”
With these words, he turned to an old man sitting behind him and said, “Senior Lu, this is the Nie Tian I told you about.”
The old man had been talking to Mo Heng earlier. Upon hearing this, he smiled towards Nie Tian and said, “This old one is Lu Jiefeng. Jinnan and Hongyan have told me a lot about you. Every time your name came up, those two little ones would go on and on about how amazing you are.”
“Greetings, Senior Lu!” Nie Tian said with great respect.
