Chapter 1042: Entering the Blood Realm (1/2)

The battle of the Domain of Nether Heaven taught Nie Tian a lesson, and made him realize that he was still far too weak.

The human world would surely experience lasting turbulence this time. Fortunately, his three domains weren’t plagued by the flames of war.

God domain experts were the only forces who could determine the result of this war.

He had realized that, given his current cultivation base, he wouldn’t be able to make a difference in this war.

Therefore, he had to improve his battle prowess as much as possible and as quickly as possible.

Under his command, Meng Li from the Divine Seal Sect took the Star Behemoth bone to the starry river outside the Realm of Maelstrom, and guarded it.

Since the Domain of Heaven Python belonged to him, and he was in the Realm of Maelstrom himself, he didn’t worry that there would be mishaps.

Right before going into secluded cultivation, he instructed Dong Li to do her utmost to gather high-grade spirit beast corpses, preferably eighth grade ones.

After that, he focused on refining Blood Essence in his residence in the Realm of Maelstrom.

The outsider corpses Fang Yuan had gifted him became the first batch of refining resources.

As he drained their flesh power through Life Drain, drop after drop of Blood Essence came to form in his heart.

At the same time, Dong Li informed the Domain of Heaven Python, the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, and the Domain of the Falling Stars to gather high-grade spirit beast corpses for him to sustain his cultivation.

To condense a drop of Blood Essence, he usually needed the whole corpse of an eighth grade spirit beast. Therefore, all of the eighth grade spirit beast corpses continued to be shipped over from the major sects in the three domains, and put into Nie Tian’s hands.

However, they were still far from enough.

Two weeks later, when Nie Tian had run out of them, he had a total of thirty drops of Blood Essence in his heart.

It happened to be at this moment that a subordinate of Fang Yuan’s found him and presented him with another ring of holding, inside of which were a dozen eighth grade outsider corpse.

Nie Tian thus resumed cultivation.

Meanwhile, the Divine Seal Sect, the Thousandsword Mountain Sect, and the Golden Vast Sect did everything within their power to find eighth grade spirit beast and outsider corpses for him. They went to various realms and traded for them with spirit jades and other cultivation materials.

Before long, new batches of spirit beast meat and outsider corpses were delivered to Nie Tian.

Only now did Nie Tian realize how important it was to have three subordinate domains and numerous subordinate sects.

Looking at the rings of holding that had been placed in front of him, he couldn’t help but sigh. “Copious cultivation resources are so important to Qi warriors.”

Those rings of holding came respectively from the Divine Seal Sect, Thousandsword Mountain Sect, Golden Vast Sect, Divine Flame Sect, Beast-controlling Sect, and other sects. Each and every one of them held a certain amount of spirit beast meat and outsider corpses.

“No wonder Qi warriors usually seek to join powerful sects. Independent cultivators can’t possibly get so much spirit beast meat within such a short time. Cultivators rely on all sorts of precious materials to make breakthroughs in cultivation and build domains. The stronger cultivators become, the larger their needs for cultivation materials will become.

“To be able to advance to the God domain, not only does a cultivator have to have outstanding cultivation talent, but an astronomical amount of cultivation resources as well.

“That means the less powerful sects may not even have the ability to cultivate a single God domain expert.”

Nie Tian came to a deep realization of how helpful sects could be to cultivators.

With these thoughts, he continued to focus on condensing Blood Essence, paying no attention to the turbulences in the outside world.

After prolonged, painstaking cultivation and countless numbers of spirit beast meat and outsider corpses, he finally accumulated fifty drops of Blood Essence in his heart.

Observing the diamond-like Blood Essence with his soul awareness, he grew very excited. “That’s it! Fifty drops of Blood Essence!!”

Then, he attempted to enter the origin of his bloodline, the Blood Realm, to seek the bloodline magics that he had longed for.

As his wisp of soul awareness approached the green aura in his heart, it was suddenly sucked into it.

The mysterious Bloodline Crystal Chains within the green aura instantly lit up.

The fifty drops of transcendent Blood Essence then started to hover around the green aura. All of them seemed to be ignited at the same time.
