Chapter 1043: Returning to Graydusk Fores (1/2)

With the remainder of the spirit beast meat and outsider corpses that had been delivered from the numerous sects from the three domains, Nie Tian recovered the twenty three drops of Blood Essence he had consumed.

Since there was still some low-grade spirit beast meat left, he absorbed its flesh power and provided it to the green aura in his heart.

After that, the spirit beast meat and outsider corpses in all of the rings of holding were exhausted.

However, there was still a long way to go before the green aura would fall dormant again and enter the next upgrade cycle.

At this moment, Nie Tian had run out of materials that could provide him with flesh power.

Sitting in the secret room and looking at the empty rings of holding scattered in front of him, Nie Tian thought to himself, “I wonder how long it’ll take for me to gather enough flesh power for my bloodline to make another upgrade. From the look of it, I’ll have to rely on the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace to get more outsider corpses from now on.”

Eighth grade spirit beasts and outsiders were as powerful as Void domain human experts. Spirit beasts and outsiders at such a high grade couldn’t be found in many human domains.

Even though his three domains weren’t among the most advanced ones, he could receive a consistent supply of flesh power from them.

“My bloodline is only at the seventh grade now,” Nie Tian thought to himself, a mixture of delight and worry filling his face. “After my bloodline advances to the eighth or ninth grade, the amount of flesh power I’ll need will be as vast as the sea. By that time, I’ll be under even greater pressure if I want to further upgrade my bloodline.”

Right now, his cultivation base was still at the late Profound realm, which was actually behind his bloodline.

That was on top of the fact that he had awakened his bloodline long after he had become a Qi warrior. The reason why he had been able to upgrade his bloodline continuously over the years was because he had accumulated a significant amount of spirit beast meat and outsider corpses fighting battles here and there.

Besides, he had basically spent all of the spiritual materials, spirit stones, and spirit jades he had obtained over the years on such accumulation. These factors had contributed to his seventh grade bloodline.

“Right now, fierce battles are taking place in the Dead Star Sea, and many major human domains. These battles between humans and outsiders will definitely cause the deaths of a large number of outsiders.

“From the look of it, the fiercer the battles are, the more outsider corpses I’ll be able to gather.

“Perhaps this turmoil plaguing the human world will be an opportunity for my bloodline upgrade...”

Having run out of materials that could provide flesh power, Nie Tian had to shift his focus to the refinement of his spiritual sea, and the spiritual cores within it.

Time flew.

After six months of painstaking cultivation, he finally refined his spiritual power core, flame power core, and star power core to their limits. Only his wood power core still lacked refining.

“The breakthrough from the Profound realm to the Soul realm is a major one. I’ve got to be very careful.

“To improve the efficiency of my wood power core refinement, I can seek a place wreathed in rich wood power to establish the Wood Thriving Formation. That way, the transformation of my wood power core will be greatly accelerated.

“A blessed land like that will also help that Godspirit Tree sapling grow faster.”

With these thoughts, he suddenly remembered the Realm of Split Void. Since the upheaval, the foreign impurities that kept pouring into the Realm of Split Void had been continuously transformed into spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

After many years of accumulation, the level of condensation of the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Split Void had already exceeded that of the Domain of Heaven Python.

This had made the Realm of Split Void a uniquely vigorous realm.

Usually, realms with such a feature were referred to as super-large-scale realms. The realms where the four great sects had set up their headquarters fell into this category.

Their spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth would never run dry.

“There are a few areas at the perimeter of the Realm of Split Void that are especially rich in wood power.”

With this thought, he decided to visit the Realm of Split Void. Therefore, he rapidly ended his secluded cultivation in the Realm of Maelstrom and teleported directly to the Realm of Split Void. After briefly notifying Li Langfeng of his intention, he jumped onto his Star Boat and whizzed into the distance.

In Graydusk Forest.

Nie Tian had visited this forest before, and knew that it was wreathed in rich wood power, as well as highly concentrated tainted spiritual Qi.

Back before the upheaval struck the Realm of Split Void, Graydusk Forest had been a forbidden region roamed by powerful mutant spirit beasts that had adapted to its hostile environment.

When the palace left by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had been unearthed and the grand underground spell formation had been activated, the tainted spiritual Qi in the Realm of Split Void had started to be purged and transformed. It was also at that time that a large amount of tainted spiritual Qi had quietly gathered to Graydusk Forest.

Even when the outsiders had launched a massive invasion, Graydusk Forest had survived the outsiders’ claws, as if they had also been apprehensive about something here.

It was also because of this that Nie Tian had once holed up in Graydusk Forest when he had been driven into a dead end.

Now, many years had passed, and Nie Tian was returning to Graydusk Forest by himself.

The wood power in the overgrown forest was extremely rich. Nie Tian found a random place to berth his Star Boat before summoning the seventy-two tree branches and establishing the Wood Thriving Formation.
