Chapter 1143: Observing the Battle (1/2)
The Heaven-equal Vines came from the Floragrims’ main realm.
As Heaven Nourished grade wood-attributed treasures, they were hard to find even in Floragrim realms.
Many years ago, a powerful Floragrim had moved this Heaven-equal Vine to the Domain of Forbidden Heaven in an attempt to transform it into an ideal habitat for the Floragrims.
However, the Domain of Forbidden Heaven had eventually been taken by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, and they had lost the heaven-equal Vine.
As a Heaven Nourished grade treasure, the Heaven-equal Vine had already developed its own intelligence. It had come to an agreement with Ji Cang, which stipulated that it should restore life to the Realm of Shattered Earth.
In return, Ji Cang would keep it safe and stop others from coming near it, and when their agreement expired, allow it to return to the Floragrims’ ancestral land.
Fata bowed slightly. With an increasingly friendly look in his eyes, he said to Nie Tian, “I’ll take it back to our ancestral land, where it can leave seeds and pass on its power. I knew that you must have profound connections with my race since I first saw you in the Shatter Battlefield.”
Nie Tian laughed softly. “I was just lucky enough to acquire some of your people’s cultivation methods.”
Fata shook his head. “No, it wasn’t luck. Both Heavenly Wood Heal and the Wood Thriving Formation are top secret incantations that we don’t just pass on to anyone. Many of our own don’t even get to learn them. Besides, even those who have the privilege to learn them may not be able to reach advanced levels with them.
“If I may ask, which stage are you currently at with Heavenly Wood Heal?”
Nie Tian pondered briefly, then answered, “The fourth stage, Flesh Tempering.”
“Exactly as we expected,” Fata said with a bitter smile. “Our doyen was right.”
“Now that I’ve given the Heaven-equal Vine to you, it’s about time I set out for the depths of the Shatter Battlefield, where I’ll be able to witness the battle of our time between our grand elder and Grand Monarch Primal Demon,” Nie Tian said.
“Given our strengths, we won’t be able to get close enough to them to see anything,” Fata said. “But perhaps you can stay around the perimeter to sense the power fluctuations and transformations in heaven and earth. That alone will benefit you a great deal. But don’t go too deep. If you do, your losses will outweigh your gains.”
Fata only gave advice, but didn’t try to stop him from going.
“Thanks, but I think I’ll go check things out,” Nie Tian said.
“Alright, let me show you a route that’s safe.” Fata pondered briefly, then drew a route for Nie Tian. “This is the route the human experts have taken. It doesn’t cross any of the regions where you might run into powerful Phantasms, Demons, Fiends, Bonebrutes, or Ancientspirits.”
Nie Tian took a quick glance at the map and nodded.
Then, the two of them bid farewell and went their separate ways.
The Star Boat flew off at a high speed, giving rise to a loud whoosh.
The closer Nie Tian flew to the center of the Shatter Battlefield, the stronger the power fluctuations he felt became.
All sorts of fluctuating energies, including Demon Qi, Phantasm Qi, Spiritual Qi, and Death Qi, filled different parts of the Shatter Battlefield like mists and miasma.
SHEW!
After an unknown period of time, the Star Boat flew to a lofty mountain peak that seemed to have had its top cut off.
Even so, it was more than thirty thousand meters high.
Clusters of dazzling starlight flickered at the mountaintop, as if they were beckoning Nie Tian to land there.
As the Star Boat approached the mountaintop, he found that three Sons of the Stars, Dou Tianchen, Wang Meijia, and Fang Yuan, were standing there with their subordinates.
They all waved at Nie Tian. “Nie Tian!”
Fixing him with a deep, suspicious look, Fang Yuan asked, “Where have you been this whole time after your battle against Ophelia? How about your injuries? Fully recovered?”
