Chapter 1469: A Messy Situation (1/2)

After coming to form in the Nether River, the new Heavenly Spirit Seals were tossed into the Spirit Pearl.

By the time there were four Heavenly Spirit Seals in the Spirit Pearl, Nie Tian was struck by a strong sense of weakness.

He then realized that he had overdrawn his soul power, and thus gave up on condensing a fifth Heavenly Spirit Seal.

During this time, the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron, the signature treasure of the fire element sect, explained Pang Chicheng’s experiences after leaving the Realm of Fire Spirit in detail.

According to it, that underground palace in the Realm of Fire Spirit was connected to many fiery arcane realms.

Those arcane realms had been discovered by Pang Bo and later put under the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron’s control, so it could transfuse flame power from them to the Realm of Fire Spirit continuously.

The Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron had taken Pang Chicheng to those arcane realms, allowing him to advance to the God domain with the help of the rich flame power there.

After Pang Chicheng’s defeat in the Realm of Fire Spirit, he had fallen out with the Thunder Devil and Feng Beiluo, which had undermined his relationship with the secret force behind Feng Beiluo.

After that, Pang Chicheng had come into contact with Xuan Guangyu, the Shadow Society, the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, and the Jade Heaven Sect. During that time, the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society had found him, and incited him to take a trip to the floating continent and awaken the Ripper Behemoth.

After storing four Heavenly Spirit Seals in the Spirit Pearl, Nie Tian combed through the information he had obtained from the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron. “So Pang Chicheng had a falling out with Feng Beiluo’s force. Then, he associated with Xuan Guangyu and those with him. That was when he was incited by the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society...”

All of a sudden, Nie Tian’s expression flickered violently. “If the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society was possessed by Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits, doesn’t it mean Xuan Guangyu and the others have been his chess pieces as well? Is You Qimiao from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect a part of this too? He’s trying to break through to the late God domain, and there’s a good chance he’ll succeed. If he’s also...”

Having reached this point in his train of thought, Nie Tian felt a headache over the messy situation.

At this moment, no more glowing cyan spots flew from the Nether River into the five evil gods to help restore and integrate their memories.

Nie Tian turned to take a deep look at the huge vortex from which fresh water was flowing.

“Where does it connect? The Phantasms’ Nether Realm or the Void World?” Eyebrows knitted, he switched his gaze between the slowly-flowing Nether River and the colossal ancient tree. “Now, with the infusion of fresh water, the Nether River has gained the upper hand in its battle against the ancient tree, which has lasted for who knows how long. Is there anything I can do to help the ancient tree?”

Now that five Heavenly Spirit Seals had been successfully embedded in the foreheads of the evil gods in the form of prismatic crystals, the main goal of his trip to this mysterious place had been achieved.

After all, he had come here harboring the intent of gaining full control over the five evil gods.

“The situation in the outside world is even messier. I guess I should get out of here as soon as possible.” He thought to himself. “However, if I leave, this slowly-flowing branch of the Nether River will eventually reach that ancient tree. If that happens, what changes will happen to this place? Will it be assimilated by the Nether River and become enveloped in gruesome Nether Qi? Will Netherspirits from the Void World invade?

“That vortex is full of spatial wonders, yet I probably can’t uncover its secrets by myself.

“What if I ask Senior Martial Sister Pei to come here and explore its wonders with her Space Boundaries Crystal?”

Thoughts flashed across his mind, making him hesitant about what to do.

Furthermore, Pang Chicheng was still here. Without the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron, he could probably only wander around in this mysterious area of the starry river.

This gave him another concern: that Pang Chicheng might sabotage the balance in this place and trigger some major turbulence.

“This is such a headache.”

After pondering the matter from different angles, he finally decided to leave to get Pei Qiqi’s help, so he could uncover the truth and ferret out and kill Pang Chicheng with her strength.

...

At the Seven Stars Realm Sea.

Ancient starships that belonged to different human forces were berthed around the seven dead stars that surrounded the Realm Sea.

Sects like the Divine Seal Sect, the Golden Vast Sect, and the Thousandsword Mountain Sect, along with the five major sects and three major clans of the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, had people entering and exiting the area all the time.

Yu Suying, Mo Qianfan, Xie Qian, Master Blood Spirit, and other experts all visited quite frequently.

As the mysteries of the Realm Sea were gradually known to people, this area suddenly became the one place in Nie Tian’s territory that enjoyed the utmost importance.

Its status quickly rose above that of the Realm of Maelstrom.

Not just Nie Tian’s followers, but other human experts would also come from different parts of the human world after learning about the wonders of the Seven Stars Realm Sea.
