Chapter 1218: Promises (1/2)

Inside a spacious camber of the ice starship, a shudder ran through Kong Shuangjing’s old shriveled body, her expression flickering. “The Heavenly Spirit Sect! And the Ancient Law Sect!”

At this moment, Han Qiong entered the chamber. His steps grew anxious because of the arrival of those two forces.

The Heavenly Spirit Sect and the Ancient Law Sect might not have histories that were as long as the Ice Soul Divine Sect.

However, they were now every bit as powerful as them, if not more.

Both of those sects had multiple late Saint domain experts.

Both their sectmasters had good chances of entering the God domain.

The only reason why they hadn’t made their attempts yet was because even though they had prepared for ages, they were still not confident enough, and were looking for the best and safest way to make the breakthrough.

After Yin Xingtian set a precedent, it wasn’t hard for Han Qiong and Kong Shuangjing to guess the Heavenly Spirit Sect and the Ancient Law Sect’s intentions.

Nie Tian was the obvious answer.

“I’m afraid the word we received as we passed through the Domain of Endless Thunder had no lie to it,” Han Qiong said with a bitter smile. “We thought it was impossible for Nie Tian to have helped Mo Qianfan break through into the God domain. But Yin Xingtian’s attitude and the arrival of the Heavenly Spirit Sect and Ancient Law Sect have proved us wrong.

“I suppose Nie Tian actually is the reason why Mo Qianfan managed to enter the God domain.”

Kong Shuangjing nodded slightly and said, “After all, our sect doesn’t have as many connections to the Domain of Endless Thunder as the Streamcloud Sword Sect. It’s understandable that we have doubts about the information we receive.

“It’s just that...”

With these words, she cast a glance at a translucent, sparkling secret room that was connected to this chamber and wreathed in a frosty aura.

The curvaceous figure of Ling Bingyun, the Ice Soul Divine Daughter, loomed behind the icy wall.

Han Qiong let out a low sigh before shooting her a meaningful glance and whispering, “Let’s try our best to persuade her after our return, and see if we can find someone to talk to Nie Tian. Considering his current status and influence, if he actually decides to do such a reckless thing, I doubt that we’ll win.”

“Yeah.” Kong Shuangjing agreed.

...

Atop a mountain peak where the Heavenly Thunder Sect’s headquarters was located.

Two figures flew over.

The new arrivals were the sectmaster of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Zhang Qiling, and the sectmaster of the Ancient Law Sect, Li Wanfa.

Both of them were at the late Saint domain, only a step away from entering the God domain.

Like Yin Xingtian, they were also renowned experts, whose names had spread across the numerous human domains.

Even the four great sects couldn’t get them to submit and serve as their subordinate sects.

Many Sons of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and Divine Children of the Five Elements Sect had found Yin Xingtian, Zhang Qiling, and Li Wanfa, and made handsome offers in exchange for their allegiance.

However, these three proud experts had refused them all.

They shared Patriarch Pure Heaven’s temperament to some extent, but the difference was that they were actually strong enough to be proud, or even arrogant.

All of them had multiple late Saint domain experts, and had produced God domain experts in their histories.

In eras when they had been lead by God domain experts, their strengths had been second only to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s and the other great sects’.

“Patriarch Yin?” Zhang Qiling and Li Wanfa spotted Yin Xingtian as they slowly descended on the mountaintop. Expressions flickering slightly, they immediately realized what was going on.

Yin Xingtian stuck out his chest and pointed at Nie Tian. “Allow me to introduce you. This is the seventh Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, Nie Tian.”
