Chapter 1401: Human World, Spirit World, and Void World (1/2)

Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi exchanged a glance.

“What else is at the bottom of that Soul-devouring Lake?” Nie Tian asked.

You Qimiao pondered for a brief moment, then said, “I’ll help you get the soul crystals you need!”

“Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir! He’s after our Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir!” One of the Netherspirits that was bogged down in the mire of murky energies bellowed in the human language. “Among the three existing worlds, the Mortal World, the Spirit World, and the Void World, ours, the Void World, is the only one that has Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir!”

Nie Tian was dumbfounded. “The Mortal World, the Spirit World, and the Void World...”

Luo Wanxiang’s expression flickered. “Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir!”

Eyes wide, he stared at You Qimiao from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect and asked, “How do you know about the Netherspirits’ Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir?”

HOWL! HOWL!

The evil god of bloodlust, the last remaining evil god that hadn’t been captured and sealed inside the Spirit Pearl, was skinny, with sharp blade-like bones sticking out of its odd-looking body. At this moment, it was absorbing refined Nether Qi from its surroundings like a sponge absorbing water.

Surprisingly, the more Nether Qi it absorbed, the more shriveled it became.

However, its aura soared. Even the mire of murky energies You Qimiao had gathered from another Realm Sea started to have difficulty confining it.

“You, girl from the Void Spirit Society! Take Nie Tian to that lake now!” You Qimiao said urgently.

“Okay!” Pei Qiqi spun the Space Boundaries Crystal once again, using one of its many facets as a void passage. Then, she grabbed Nie Tian and shot into the crystal like two streaks of light.

Luo Wanxiang fixed You Qimiao with a death glare as his shattered All Manifestations Star Banner came back together. “Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir! I can’t believe you’re after Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir!

“Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir only exists in the Void World, and only Netherspirits have it. Even the Phantasms of the Spirit World can’t produce Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir with their Soul-devouring Lakes.”

“Luo Wanxiang!” A Netherspirit let out a fierce cry. “If you can kill this man right now, we’ll grant you three drops of our Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir, so after you derive profound enlightenment from the Nether River, you’ll be able to break through into the late God domain with its help!”

“Really?” Luo Wanxiang asked with blazing desires in his eyes.

“Really!”

“Alright then!”

Even though Luo Wanxiang’s dharma idol was bogged down in the murky energies, a wisp of his true soul managed to display a profound soul magic recorded in the fragmentary star marks with the help of his All Manifestations Star Banner.

“Sea of Illusory Stars!”

Ninety-nine dazzling Star Eyes were created and aligned in a profound formation. Each and every one of them was vested with his soul power and the wonders of his star souls.

In the next moment, the sea of dazzling stars manifested in You Qimiao’s view.

Wisps of You Qimiao’s soul will, which he had dispersed over this area, were affected by the strange power of the magical sea and had their connection with his true soul cut off, as if he were lost in the Sea of Illusory Stars.

The murky energies he had channeled from another Realm Sea were originally concentrated, but they now started to scatter and spread into their surroundings.

This meant that the mire of murky energies was becoming thinner and less binding.

The evil god of bloodlust, the few Netherspirits, and Luo Wanxiang all started to gradually regain their mobility, and the ability to cast soul magics.

More importantly, the numerous evil spirits and vicious souls controlled by the Netherspirits gradually regained the ability to fly around.

Swarms of them morphed into curious symbols that were very similar to the Phantasms’ language and looked like squirming earthworms.

They were the Netherspirits’ unique soul symbols, which carried the profound truths of souls, and could be used to cast a wide array of profound soul magics.

“Soul Ignition!”

In the blink of an eye, the soul symbols flew past the mire of murky energies to form a soul spell in the air over You Qimiao’s head.

BOOM!

Like strange fiery sparks, the numerous soul symbols that emanated mysterious dim light vanished.

In the next moment, fiery light started to appear in every part of You Qimiao’s dharma idol.

The wisps of soul will he had used to construct his dharma idol were ignited by the Netherspirit soul spell, and were being burned away at an alarming rate.

“Nie Tian!” he bellowed.

Meanwhile...

Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi came out of a spatial rift that manifested over the Soul-devouring Lake, where they looked down at the dark, unfathomable lake.

You Qimiao’s Immortal grade divine tool seemed to have morphed into a giant yin-yang fish that was swimming swiftly in the depths of the Soul-devouring Lake.

Both Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi could only see the vague shape of the huge fish that had transformed from the Yin Yang Chaos Mirror.

As for the soul crystals and the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir the Netherspirits had referred to, they could see none.

Also, as they sent soul awareness into the Soul-devouring Lake, they rapidly lost connection with them, as if they were stones that were tossed into the ocean.

Nie Tian turned to Pei Qiqi and asked, “Have you heard about Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir? From what those Netherspirits and Luo Wanxiang said, it seems to be even more precious than soul crystals. And it seems to be the real reason why You Qimiao came here. Whatever soul crystals he gets from here may be only add-ons.”

Pei Qiqi shook her head. “My master has never told me anything about the Void World, much less the Netherspirits. I only just learned that our world is called the Mortal World. The world where Ancientspirits and outsiders live is called the Spirit World. And this world is called the Void World. The Void World... and the Void Palace Sect...”

She couldn’t help but think of the former most powerful sect in the Realm of Split Void.

Her parents were members of the Void Palace Sect. One of them was even a Voidspirit. They seemed to have moved to another heaven and earth they had discovered through a spatial rift in the Void Illusion Mountain Range.

WHOOSH!

The giant fish transformed from the Yin Yang Chaos Mirror suddenly charged out of the surface of the unfathomable lake, which didn’t show the slightest ripples.

The giant fish that seemed to be the combination of two completely different auras opened its mouth and blew towards Nie Tian.

Then, pitch-black crystals that looked like black diamonds flew towards Nie Tian in a stream of strange water from the Soul-devouring Lake.

“Soul crystals! Close to a hundred of them!” Nie Tian was so thrilled that he forgot all about the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir. He blurred into action and entered the stream of water in a flash. As he made grabbing motions, strings made of pure spiritual power flew out to pull the soul crystals into his palms.

“Please hurry,” The huge fish said in the human language. “My master is now in a difficult situation. That vice sectmaster of your sect has gone all-out against him for three drops of Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir that the Netherspirits have promised him.”

SPLASH!

With these words, the yin-yang fish transformed from the Yin Yang Chaos Mirror jumped back into the Soul-devouring Lake.

Pei Qiqi didn’t even get to ask about the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir as she had planned.

She turned to Nie Tian and said, “This yin-yang fish must be the true form of that Immortal grade divine tool’s soul. No wonder it’s considered the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect’s signature treasure. Its soul can not only take the form of a yin-yang fish, but it can also speak in the human language.”

Nie Tian nodded and said, “I’ll refine the soul crystals first. Give me some time and don’t take me back to You Qimiao just yet. It’s safer here.

“Here. These are for you.”
