Chapter 1047: Oppression (2/2)

Since Bonebrute corpses carried death power, which conflicted with his bloodline, he eliminated them from his choices.

Ancientbeast and Demon corpses were his first choice. Luckily for him, countless years of battle against outsiders and Ancientbeasts had left the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace with a large number of Ancientbeast and Demon corpses, allowing him to make the best use of his contribution points.

Holding the newly-acquired rings of holding, he walked out of the Treasure Pavilion and back to the Vast Heaven Pavilion.

Since Mo Heng wasn’t around, there wasn’t a person he could turn to for wisdom. Even though he could sense his cultivation base barrier clearly, he couldn’t find a way to break it. Considering this, he shifted his focus onto channeling flesh power from the Ancientbeast and Demon corpses.

In less than three months, he drained all of the Ancientbeast and Demon corpses he had purchased with his six hundred and seventy thousand contribution points of their flesh power.

All of the flesh power was forcibly channeled into his heart and devoured by the green aura.

After emptying the dozen rings of holding, Nie Tian examined the green aura, and was surprised to discover that it was still far from being satisfied.

It was still craving more flesh power!

“When will this end? I’m only trying to prepare my bloodline for the advance from the seventh grade to the eighth grade, and the residual flesh power within a few dozen dead eighth grade Ancientbeasts and outsiders is already too little to fill the void?

“Does this mean that I’ll have to start looking for corpses of ninth grade grand patriarchs after my bloodline enters the eighth grade?

“Don’t tell me that I’ll need a few dozen or even a hundred grand patriarch corpses for my bloodline to enter the ninth grade?

“How many Ancientbeast, Demon, Fiend, and Phantasm grand patriarchs are there...?”

As his train of thought came to this point, Nie Tian almost wanted to scream curses into the heavens.

He deeply realized how hard it would be for his bloodline to upgrade from now on.

“I’ve used up all my contribution points, and the Ancientbeast and Demon corpses I got still weren’t enough for my bloodline aura to fall dormant and enter the next upgrade cycle. At the same time, I’m stuck at the late Profound realm. From the look of it, with Grand Elder Mo Heng in secluded cultivation, I won’t be able to find a way to make my breakthrough any time soon.

“Have I entered a stagnant period?”

Nie Tian felt that he had entered a stagnant period for the first time in his path of cultivation.

“I either continue to seek a way to bring my cultivation base up to the Soul realm, so that I’ll be able to continue my refinement of spiritual power, or try to get more Ancientbeast and outsider corpses in order to make my bloodline aura enter dormancy again. Only after it enters dormancy again will I have the spare flesh power to continue my body refinement with Heavenly Wood Heal.”

These options forced Nie Tian to end his secluded cultivation.

“The sects and clans in the Domain of Heaven Python and the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries have already provided me with as many spirit beast corpses as they could. Fang Yuan has also given me quite a few outsider corpses. It’ll be too cheeky of me if I go ask him for more.

“From the look of it, I can only try to finish some quests for the sect to earn the contribution points to buy more from the sect.”

With these thoughts, he left the Vast Heaven Pavilion and went to find Wei Lai again.

Wei Lai was taken aback. “You want to work for our sect? Our sect’s current tasks are to wipe out the crooked sects, win the battle in the Dead Star Sea, and put an end to the outsiders’ invasions of our domains. All of the Sons of the Stars except you, Fang Yuan, and Sikong Cuo are busy handling these matters. Most of our elders are too.

“I’ve checked your subordinates’ strength. I can’t say that I’m impressed. I don’t think you’ll be able to handle any of our tasks.”

Nie Tian looked somewhat embarrassed upon hearing these words. “Jing Feiyang, my strongest subordinate, has already entered the middle Saint domain. Even so, we don’t qualify to participate in any of our tasks?”

Wei Lai smiled bitterly. “Don’t take this personally, Nie Tian. The truth is that you’re not strong enough yet, even if Jing Feiyang has entered the middle Saint domain. Many elders, Divine Sons, Divine Daughters, and vice sectmasters of the four great sects have joined the battle against the outsiders in the Dead Star Sea, but have been met with strong resistance. This is bound to be a lasting battle. Both us and the outsiders have sent our main force. A single middle Saint domain cultivator is really nothing.

“As for the crooked sects that practice forbidden incantations, all of them have late Saint domain experts and powerful outsiders at their back. If you insist on going, the result will be you losing your subordinates before they could grow strong.

“This is for your own good, and the reason why I didn’t go find you in the Vast Heaven Pavilion even though we’re under a lot of pressure.”

“But I need to earn more contribution points,” Nie Tian said. “There must be something I can do.”

“Let me see.” Wei Lai narrowed his eyes, placing his fingers on a crystal ball. Wisps of aura started to fly within the crystal ball, as if he was going through the information inside trying to find something.

After a while, Wei Lai’s eyes suddenly lit up as he smiled and said, “I’ve got it!”

“What?” Nie Tian asked immediately afterwards.

“You can go to the Domain of Heaven’s Origin. There are a few teleportation portals there that connect to outsider realms. You can go on this mission with people from the Five Elements Sect.”
