Chapter 1435: Internal Conflicts
It wasn’t very consuming to cast Life Revival.
Nie Tian only had to summon a small amount of flesh power and wood power to cast it.
After that, his wood domain would take over. The Godspirit Tree and the seventy-two tree branches within it would channel dissociative fragmentary wood power from the starry river to maintain its operation.
The misty green aura continued to spread and envelop heaven and earth like the shade from an enormous tree.
A hour passed...
Life Revival spread to cover a five kilometer radius around Nie Tian’s wood domain.
Almost every Qi warrior that was close to Nie Tian got to personally feel the wonders of Life Revival, and benefit from the green aura it created.
The closer they were to Nie Tian’s wood domain, the richer the aura was, and the more they benefited.
God domain experts including Yu Suying, Mo Qianfan, Master Blood Spirit, and Xie Qian, along with Saint domain experts, sat silently around Nie Tian’s wood domain in the lotus position. They would take deep breaths from time to time as they refined medicinal pills and spiritual materials of their respective attributes.
Wisps of emerald green aura that contained refined wood power would pour in through their mouths and noses.
Such wood power seemed to be able to nourish all things. Whether it was their bodies, spiritual seas, or seas of awareness, as soon as they were infused with such power that carried the profound truths of life, they would have life force awakened within them.
An open wound on Mo Qianfan’s left arm gradually scabbed over.
Xie Qian had suffered a heavy blow to his abdomen while fighting a Bonebrute grand patriarch, causing lasting severe pain in his internal organs. But now that he was bathed in the aura filled with rich life force, that pain was greatly relieved.
The other Qi warriors also recovered from their respective injuries at a shocking speed.
Most humans, except hybrids and people like Yin Yanan who practiced body refinement incantations, were physically feeble.
Humans had to envelop themselves in spiritual power shields or their domains during battle, so that outsiders and Ancientspirits wouldn’t be able to touch their most vulnerable fleshly bodies.
If they sustained fleshly injuries, their recovery would be understandably far slower than that of outsiders, who were born with tough bodies.
Therefore, once they were physically injured, it would usually take them a long time to recover with medicinal pills and spiritual materials.
But now, after Nie Tian had cast Life Revival, each and every human cultivator around him was recovering rapidly. Even their chronic diseases seemed to be healing.
The speed at which they refined spirit crystals and medicinal pills was also improved to a great extent.
Plus, with their souls calmed and fire of wisdom kindled, they were now able to derive new enlightenment as they reviewed the difficult points they had encountered with certain incantations.
Their bodies, souls, and wisdom all benefited when they were enveloped in Life Revival.
Up in the sky.
Dressed in black robes, Dong Li was surrounded by a pitch black aureole. Like a dark goddess, she looked down and watched Nie Tian’s followers heal and benefit from his wondrous bloodline magic.
Spatial fluctuations suddenly spread out from a berthed ancient starship in the distance.
Elder Ye Wenhan of the Heaven Span Pavilion walked out of the teleportation portal in the ancient starship.
Upon flying out, he scanned his surroundings with his divine sense, and found that there wasn’t a single Qi warrior on the ancient starships that were berthed here.
Surprised, he gazed down with rapt attention. Only then did he notice Nie Tian and the Qi warriors gathered around him.
“Hmm?!”
Ye Wenhan flew into the area enveloped in Nie Tian’s Life Revival, and immediately felt soothed. Even his hidden injuries grew itchy and started to heal.
He couldn’t help but exclaim. “Such amazing power!”
Then, he turned to Nie Tian and said, “Congratulations, Nie Tian! I just heard that you’d broken through into the Saint domain and come to the Domain of Heaven Span. Now, since some internal conflicts broke out between the Ancientspirits and outsiders, and they’ve stopped attacking us, we can finally catch a breath.”
“That’s because Fata, the young Floragrim lord, was imprisoned by the Demons and Bonebrutes, right?” Dong Li asked.
Ye Wenhan nodded. “Right. The Demons and Bonebrutes seem to have had a falling out with Grand Monarch Primal Wood of the Floragrims. The Ancientspirits, who are close to Grand Monarch Life Wood, have chosen to side with the Floragrims. After all, Fata is Grand Monarch Life Wood’s son, and carries a unique bloodline.”
Nie Tian smiled and asked, “Did you come here just to tell me this, Senior Ye? I met Grand Monarch Primal Wood not long ago. I already know this.”
Ye Wenhan assumed a serious expression and said, “Well, I’m actually here to invite you two to the Heaven Span Pavilion. We have some important issues to discuss. We’re in a temporary ceasefire because of the internal conflicts between the Ancientspirits and outsiders. However, since many realms in the Spirit World are still perishing, our war isn’t going to end just yet.
“Therefore, I’m inviting you to the Heaven Span Pavilion so that we can meet and talk about our next move, and how we should fight our future battles against them.” With a pause, he turned to Mo Qianfan and Yu Suying. “Of course, you’re invited as well.”
All leaders of the major sects and God domain experts were invited to the meeting.
Originally, Dong Li had been deemed to be unqualified to participate in the meeting. However, in light of her recent outstanding performance at the Seven Stars Realm Sea, Fan Tianze had demanded that she take part as well.
“Alright,” Nie Tian said. “Why don’t you go back first? We’ll be there shortly.”
Ye Wenhan nodded.
After he left, Nie Tian maintained Life Revival and secretly released his bloodline power to examine how his followers were recovering.
Only after he sensed that most of them had healed with the help of his Life Revival did he cancel it.
Then, he left for the Heaven Span Pavilion with Dong Li, Yu Suying, and Mo Qianfan through teleportation portals.
...
In the Realm of Heaven Span.
Lofty and magnificent pavilions pierced into the clouds like enormous swords.
One of them was exceptionally lofty. Surrounded by the other pavilions like the moon being surrounded by stars, it stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens.
It seemed to have countless floors that pilled all the way up to the depths of the heavens.
At this moment, many were gathered on the spacious top floor. All of them were important figures that could cause major stirs throughout the human domains with mere stomps of their feet.
Fan Tianze, Chu Rui, Ji Yuanquan, Pei Qiqi, Divine Sons and Daughters of the Five Elements Sect, Dou Tianchen, Fang Yuan, Zu Guangyao, Shang Li, He Lianxiong...
Leaders of renowned human sects and different advanced human domains like Li Wanfa and Zhang Qiling, who were at the late Saint domain, were also among those present.
“Nie Tian!” As someone exclaimed, many of the powerful experts that were gathered here subconsciously turned their eyes and saw the new arrivals.
Those who were close friends with Nie Tian, like Huang Jinnan and Fang Yuan, called out in elation, “I can’t believe you’ve entered the Saint domain, Nie Tian!”
Some Saint domain experts from advanced human domains quietly examined the black-garbed Dong Li, who stood with an imposing manner, and whispered to each other, “Is that Dong Li? It’s said that she defeated Grand Monarch Chaos Demon and Ophelia, forcing them to pull out of the Seven-star Blue Sea in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.”
“She’s only at the Void domain. What made her so powerful?”
“Pei Qiqi has already shocked us with her battle prowess, and now this woman too. The women the seventh Son of the Stars has by his side are simply amazing.”
“I can’t believe a small place that I’ve never heard of like the Domain of the Falling Stars produced three such brilliant Qi warriors at the same time!”
Discussions went on among those who were present.
Since some important people still hadn’t arrived, this meeting in the Heaven Span Pavilion’s headquarters had to wait.
Nie Tian then went to talk with Hou Chulan, Huang Jinnan, Fang Yuan, and others he knew well. From them, he learned the situation of the battles that had taken place in different parts of the Domain of Heaven Span, and the identities of those here who he found unfamiliar.
“Nie Tian, right? I’m...”
During that time, many late Saint domain experts who hadn’t met Nie Tian before leaned in and cottoned up to him.
Not just Nie Tian; even Dong Li was soon surrounded by cozying experts.
“Godmaker! That’s the one who worked miracles over and over! It was all thanks to him that Mo Qianfan, Zu Guangyao, and Dou Tianchen were able to break through into the God domain! It’s said that Patriarch Yin from the Streamcloud Sword Sect is also preparing for his breakthrough into the God domain, and he only dares to make his attempt now because of him!”
“Wow! Making God domain experts!”
“If I can win his favor and enter the God domain with his help, I’ll be willing to take orders from him as Mo Qianfan does! But...”
Many whispered on and on.
All of a sudden, Shang Li from the Heaven Span Pavilion exclaimed softly to get everyone’s attention. “Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to say.”
Fan Tianze, the convener of this meeting, was surprised, and asked, “What is it?”
Ye Wenhan was also puzzled.
“Not long ago, You Qimiao, the sectmaster of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, suddenly announced that he was going to make his attempt to advance to the late God domain,” Shang Li said in a loud voice. “After probing through various means, I learned that he acquired Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir from a secret place.
“Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir!” Some who knew the wonders of the elixir exclaimed, their expressions flickering in astonishment.
“Some of you might not know what Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir is. Allow me to explain...” Shang Li went on and explained the wondrous use of the elixir. Then, he added, “Since it can be used to cleanse people’s souls, it’s extremely helpful to those who wish to break through into the early, middle, or late God domain!
“That’s why You Qimiao announced that he’d enter secluded cultivation to break through into the late God domain upon returning with some Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir!
“From what I’ve learned, his chance at succeeding is greatly improved by that elixir!”
Shang Li’s eyes shone with veiled desire as he spoke.
“What’s the meaning of you saying all this, Shang Li?” Ye Wenhan asked with a frown. “You Qimiao has long since gone rogue. If we weren’t facing threats from the outsiders and Ancientspirits, we would have marched down to the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect to talk it out with him.”
“I’m only telling you about the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir because I have another piece of news.” With these words, Shang Li’s eyes glittered as he suddenly turned to fix his eyes on Dong Li. “I learned that some of the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir You Qimiao got from his trip is in this lady’s possession.”
Dong Li frowned.
With a blazing look in his eyes, Shang Li said, “If used properly, Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir can make God domain experts within a short time. Experts like you, Elder Ye, Elder Fan, and Senior Chu can all benefit from it! Even those of you who are at the late Saint domain can break through to the God domain with its help!”
Nie Tian’s face dropped.
