Chapter 1198: Reaching a Mutual Understanding (1/2)

With a complicated expression, Nie Tian looked down and muttered to himself in the thunderstorm, “That person...”

He suspected that the person Yuan Jiuchuan referred to was none other than his father, who he had never met.

The man had been Mo Heng’s mentor. He had guided Mo Heng into the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, allowing him to reach his current heights.

Mo Heng had been very grateful and respectful towards the man. However, the man was clearly on a path where he stood against the four great sects now.

Would he be able to persuade Mo Heng?

If he failed, where would Mo Heng be confined?

Was he behind the mysterious disappearance of Ji Cang, the Lord of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, as well?

As a hybrid whose life bloodline was given by him, what should Nie Tian do in the future?

Questions filled Nie Tian’s mind. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t find answers to them, and didn’t know how he should make his future choices, especially when his mother was probably with that man as well...

On one side was family. On the other side were his sect and friends. Once direct confrontation broke out between the two, he would be forced to make his choice.

Which side should he take?

“This is all I know,” Yuan Jiuchuan said with determination.

Nie Tian awoke from his daze and realized that the might of the lightning bolts was indeed increasing.

Now, as the lightning bolts bombarded him and infiltrated his flesh and meridians, he would feel numb for a brief moment.

Only after he circulated his flesh aura through his body would the numbness fade.

Nie Tian took a deep breath to calm himself. “So you want us to work together so you can kill Zheng Yi?

“He’s at the late Saint domain. His domain contains explosive lightning power. His death will allow you to take over his domain and absorb his lightning power.

“Then, you’ll be able to make another breakthrough in your cultivation and reach the late Saint domain.”

He hadn’t had a chance to examine Yuan Jiuchuan’s cultivation base before. Now as he sensed him with rapt attention, he was surprised to discover that he had made new advances in his cultivation after their encounter in the space disruption zone.

He was currently at the middle Saint domain!

If Zheng Yi’s death could actually help him break through into the late Saint domain, or even the God domain, he would become a much more dangerous existence than Zheng Yi from the lightning element sect.

With a strange expression, Yuan Jiuchuan asked, “Don’t tell me you’re afraid that I’ll become stronger? As you know, I’m a reborn cultivator. I’m already at the highest cultivation base I achieved in my previous life. The fact that I was able to make rapid advances in my cultivation has a lot to do with my special incantations, but more importantly, it’s because my experience from my previous life allowed me to make breakthroughs without meeting cultivation barriers.

“Even so, I spent a lot of time and effort to return to my peak cultivation base.

“Others might feel intimidated by me, but you clearly don’t have to.”

Nie Tian pondered for a brief moment before asking, “What do you mean?”

With a bitter expression, Yuan Jiuchuan answered, “Instead of you being afraid of me, I should be afraid of you! Don’t you know how incredibly fast you progress in your cultivation as a hybrid who practices three different types of incantations simultaneously? Just your cultivation base alone has been advancing by leaps and bounds!

“The way I see it, it won’t be long before you surpass me in every aspect, and all I can do is look up to you!

“So you have nothing to be afraid of. I’m the one who should be afraid!”

This was actually from the bottom of Yuan Jiuchuan’s heart.

He had first met Nie Tian at the Fortune Wells in the Shatter Battlefield. His cultivation base had been unimpressive back then.

Their second meeting had taken place in the Domain of Heaven Python.

After that, he had been tricked by Pei Qiqi and banished to the space disruption zone, where he had later met Nie Tian again.

Then, it was this meeting.

In all these years, he had had many incredible adventures, allowing his cultivation base and battle prowess to improve rapidly.
