Chapter 1171: The Treacherous Disciple (1/2)

The intelligence of Heaven Nourished grade treasures was every bit as advanced as that of the so-called higher races.

The irregularly shaped crystal in Pei Qiqi’s possession fell into this category.

Her communication with the crystal had always been unimpeded and effective.

She had named it the Space Boundaries Crystal.

The word ‘Space’ represented this all-inclusive starry river, while ‘Boundaries’ represented the myriad domains in the starry river.

The Space Boundaries Crystal had been born in the Shatter Battlefield. In fact, it had been born with this super-large-scale realm, which was why there was such a profound connection between them.

The Space Boundaries Crystal had only ended up in Pei Qiqi’s hands because of her uniqueness. Not only had her spiritual sea been filled with spatial power, but her bloodline carried the profound truths of spatial power as well.

This was why the Space Boundaries Crystal, which had developed advanced intelligence, had chosen Pei Qiqi as its master.

However, the Space Boundaries Crystal was different from Qu Yi’s Void Mirror.

Because Pei Qiqi’s cultivation base wasn’t advanced enough, and neither was her bloodline, the stimulation and help she had provided the Space Boundaries Crystal was still rather limited.

However, if her bloodline advanced to the tenth grade and her cultivation base entered the God domain someday... then the Space Boundaries Crystal, which had already become one with her, would most likely rise up and become an immortal grade divine tool like the Void Mirror.

In fact, it might rise even higher.

This Space Boundaries Crystal was the reason why Pei Qiqi had been able to go through the Star Behemoth’s flesh aura shield, which none of the other mighty outsiders and human experts could.

From her communication with it, she had learned that the Star Behemoth had created this unique underground space with its immense flesh power right before it had died.

Before, the Space Boundaries Crystal was the only thing that had been able to detect this unique heaven and earth, which seemed to exist under the ground of the Shatter Battlefield.

However, even the Space Boundaries Crystal hadn’t usually been able to enter this special place so easily.

That glorious shield it had carried Pei Qiqi through was similar to a portal.

Whenever outsider grand monarchs, mighty Ancientspirits, and God domain human experts fought in the Shatter Battlefield, they would release a tremendous amount of spiritual power and soul power.

Most of such power would be absorbed and transformed into all sorts of energies that spread throughout the super-large-scale realm.

These would be the times when the Star Behemoth seized the opportunity to draw such rich energies into the unique space it had created.

What the Star Behemoth would usually do was open a small rift that connected to its private space.

The rift couldn’t be entered by powerful outsiders with immense flesh auras, just as it couldn’t be entered by God domain experts like Mo Heng, whose souls would suffer strong influences if they tried.

However, the Space Boundaries Crystal that had been born here could enter and exit it effortlessly during these times.

From her soul communication with the crystal, she had also learned that once the Star Behemoth finished channeling all sorts of energies from different corners of the Shatter Battlefield into its private space, it would close the rift that connected it with the outside world.

When that happened, the unique space created by the Star Behemoth would enter a state of complete isolation, stopping even the Space Boundaries Crystal from leaving.

“What exactly will happen when the ‘portal’ closes?” Nie Tian asked curiously. “And how long after it opens will it close?”

“When the portal closes, the Star Behemoth will activate its unique bloodline talent and drain every wisp of spiritual and flesh power that has been channeled into this unique space, like a whale swallowing seawater,” Pei Qiqi explained. “If we’re in here when that happens, we will most likely become another piece of food for it.”

Nie Tian nodded. “I see.”

He knew that the energies that had been purged by the glorious shield and then poured down here weren’t enough for the Star Behemoth to come back to life.

Massive absorption like this might have to happen a few or even a few dozen more times in order for it to be truly resurrected.

“Luckily, we still have time,” Pei Qiqi said, looking rather cheerful. “We’d better take full advantage of this opportunity to absorb the power we need from this place before the next phase starts. Also, I’ll be able to foresee it when this place starts to close up, so don’t worry.”

Nie Tian was enlightened.

Before Pei Qiqi’s arrival, he had assumed that he would be able to practice cultivation in this mysterious space for as long as he wanted.

After all, the speed at which he made progress in cultivation here was so shockingly fast.

Now, thanks to Pei Qiqi’s arrival, he learned that she would be able to get them out of this place with the help of the Heaven Nourished grade spatial treasure in her possession.

However, he also learned that he had to make full use of his limited time here.
