Chapter 1045: Master Blood Spiri (1/2)

Since crooked sects like the Nether Spirit Society and the Death Curse Sect had colluded with outsiders and stirred up lots of trouble, the four great sects had an implacable hatred towards them.

They had even launched massive cleansing operations targeting such sects throughout the human domains.

It was just that Nie Tian had never expected the Blood Sect in the Realm of Flame Heaven had come from such a sect.

He secretly raised his guard.

He started to worry that the Blood Sect might be subject to a joint cleansing operation if someone discovered the historical connection between the Blood Sect and the Blood Spirit Sect.

Li Jing, the sectmaster of the Blood Sect, had helped him a great deal when he had been a lowly nobody.

Even the Bone Blood Demon, which the Blood Sect had gone to great lengths to make, had been a gift from her.

Now, considering Nie Tian’s current cultivation base and strength, and the existence of the Flame Dragon Armor and that Star Behemoth bone, the Bone Blood Demon had already lost its importance.

However, it had helped him escape death a few times when he had been young and weak.

Therefore, he felt connected to the Blood Sect, and didn’t want anything to happen to it.

As the two of them continued to talk, Nie Tian learned that the old man was actually the Blood Spirit Sect’s last sectmaster.

People had called him Master Blood Spirit for it.

According to Master Blood Spirit, Master Bloody Despair had contributed to the destruction of the Blood Spirit Sect and the death of their former sectmaster.

It was because he had lost in the competition for the position of sectmaster that he had informed the Heaven Span Pavilion of the former sectmaster’s hiding place, eventually causing the destruction of the entire Blood Spirit Sect.

Even though Master Blood Spirit had escaped the calamity, he hadn’t had the audacity to show up in any of the advanced human domains. Therefore, he had drifted around in the starry river. With a bit of luck, he had traveled through a forbidden area and discovered the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Being in a remote corner of the human world and separated from the rest of the world by that forbidden region, very few people knew anything about the Domain of the Falling Stars.

After Master Blood Spirit founded the Blood Sect and passed on his legacies, he had left to live a hermit’s life in the depths of Graydusk Forest.

Back then, none of the major sects had set up base in the Realm of Split Void due to the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that filled the entire realm. Most areas had been either ruled by rogue forces like the Blood Skull, Dark Moon, and Wild Fire, or crawled with Hunters. All of this had made the Realm of Split Void a forgotten land that had been ideal to hole up in.

Furthermore, since the mutant spirit beasts here contained rich flesh power, they had served perfectly as cultivation materials for Master Blood Spirit.

These contributed to the fact that he had spent thousands of years in the Realm of Split Void, advancing from the early Saint domain to the middle Saint domain.

For many years, he had been seeking ways to break through into the late Saint domain in order to extend his lifespan.

Back when the Blood Spirit Sect had perished, he had gained lots of cultivation resources from the sect. Coupling them with the mutant spirit beasts in the Realm of Split Void, he had had enough materials to support his cultivation. What he lacked had been new enlightenment regarding the incantations he practiced.

However, as time had passed, nothing had shown for it, and he had gradually lost his ambition and confidence.

He had been well-aware that even though his middle Saint domain cultivation base had been unmatched in the Domain of the Falling Stars, once he left the Domain of the Falling Stars and exposed his identity, the Heaven Span Pavilion would immediately come after him. Therefore, he had hidden himself very cautiously the whole time.

Even when the Domain of the Falling Stars had been invaded by outsiders, he had sat back and done nothing.

After all, he had seen far too many human realms sacked by outsiders in his early years.

Moreover, since his own sect had been brutally attacked and wiped out by the Heaven Span Pavilion, he no longer felt a sense of belonging with the human world. Therefore, all he had done was unleash that seventh grade Earthshatter Beast to make the outsiders think twice before entering the forest.

Nie Tian came to a fairly good understanding of Master Blood Spirit from their extensive conversation.

“An elder of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace came to the Realm of Split Void about ten years ago. Did he not sense your existence back then?” Nie Tian asked.

Master Blood Spirit gave a dry laugh. “You’re talking about that elder named Yan Zhan, right? I sensed it the moment he arrived. He released his soul awareness to scan the entire Realm of Split Void before moving on to the other realms. However, thanks to the unique wonders of my incantations, I managed to hide my aura from him.”

Yan Zhan was at the late Saint domain, which was slightly higher than Master Blood Spirit. The fact that he had been able to hide his aura from him came as a surprise to Nie Tian.

A suspicious look appeared on Nie Tian’s face. “Yeah, Elder Yan Zhan… From the look of it, you must know a lot about me.”
