Lord of All Realms

Upon returning from the Void World, You Qimiao had fulfilled his promise and given Pei Qiqi Nie Tian’s and her share of the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir and soul crystals.

Considering that Nie Tian had been focused on his cultivation in the depths of the Seven Stars Realm Sea, Pei Qiqi had left all of the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir and soul crystals in Dong Li’s hands.

It hadn’t occurred to Nie Tian to ask about the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir, since he was only at the early Saint domain, and didn’t need it for the time being.

Now, all of a sudden, Shang Li from the Heaven Span Pavilion came out and said everything about the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir and its wonders. This upset him deeply.

Even now, Shang Li was still going on. “You Qimiao from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect is trying to break through into the late God domain with the help of Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir. Once he succeeds, things might get complicated.

“Jiang Yuanchi and Shangguan Zhi from the Shadow Society, Song Chequan from the Jade Heaven Sect, and Duan Hongwen from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect. None of these God domain experts have joined the battles in the Domain of Heaven Span. If all of them make breakthroughs in cultivation with the help of Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir, it’ll probably change the landscape of our world.”

With these words, he stopped and cast worried glances at Fan Tianze, Chu Rui, and the other major leaders.

Many experts, who had been excited a moment ago, seemed to be suddenly brought back to cold reality.

Even Fan Tianze and Chu Rui frowned deeply after hearing his words.

Ji Cang, Qu Yi, and all of the other peak human experts were currently away from the Mortal World. If rogue God domain cultivators like You Qimiao and Shangguan Zhi made breakthroughs in their cultivation at this moment, would it be destructive to the humans?

After all, some of those experts, including Jiang Yuanchi and You Qimiao, had attacked the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace not long ago in an attempt to divide its lands.

Now, when none of the peak human experts were around, who would be able to contain You Qimiao if he advanced to the late God domain?

As for Jiang Yuanchi, he had even colluded with Gupi to massacre humans in various domains.

Only after a while did Fan Tianze let out a breath of air and say, “Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir... I’ve heard about it, but it’s not something we can find in our world.”

Shang Li further raised his voice and said with all righteousness, “Nie Tian, Miss Dong, I hope you can put the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir you’ve obtained from You Qimiao to good use in this perilous time. We need more God domain experts, and we need our current God domain experts to become stronger! I think it’s crucial that we improve our strength as much as we can while the Ancientspirits and outsiders are having an internal struggle!”

Nie Tian grinned and nodded. “Well-said.”

Shang Li’s eyes lit up. “You agree?”

Nie Tian’s grin grew wider. “Of course I do. It’ll be very helpful for our future battles against the Ancientspirits and outsiders if we make more and stronger God domain experts with Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir. Why wouldn’t I agree?”

“So your Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir...” Shang Li said.

Nie Tian turned to Dong Li and asked, “How much Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir do we have? Let me see. Those of us who are ready to make new advances in their cultivation are Master Blood Spirit, Xie Qian, and Senior Yu Suying. Senior Mo Qianfan has only advanced to the early God domain recently. I doubt that the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir will help him make another breakthrough soon.

“Oh right, Senior Yin Xingtian is already making his attempt to advance to the early God domain, and he didn’t ask for any spiritual materials, so he doesn’t need the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir either.

“Also, I promised that I’d try my best to help Senior Han Qing from the Profound Purity Palace advance to the early God domain. Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir happens to be what she needs, since she can use some to cleanse her soul and ready herself for her breakthrough.

“Would you remind me who else on my side is at the late Saint domain or the God domain?”

Dong Li had been rather grim at first, her pitch-black pupils exuding a dangerous aura.

However, as Nie Tian combed through their situation and how they could put their Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir to use, her furrowed brow gradually relaxed. A hint of a smile appeared on her lips as she said, “I think Grand Elder Mo Heng might also need Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir. He said himself that it probably won’t be long before he comes back.”

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Yu Suying from the Profound Purity Palace breathed heavily, her eyes glittering with the light of excitement.

She hadn’t known much about Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir. Only after hearing Shang Li’s words did she realize how precious it was, and how vastly helpful it would be to her and her junior martial sister Han Qing.

Judging from what Nie Tian had just said, he was planning on granting them some of the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir that had been taken from the Void World to help her break through into the middle God domain, and her junior martial sister to break through into the early God domain. How could she not be thrilled?

“What a wise decision I’ve made!” She suddenly felt that her decision to break up with the Shadow Society, Jade Heaven Sect, and Realm of Looming Shadow and join Nie Tian’s force had been one of the wisest decisions she had made in her life.

“Xie Qian, Master Blood Spirit, and many other subordinates of his will be bestowed Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir?!”

Powerful experts from various advanced domains couldn’t help but felt envious after hearing the conversation between Nie Tian and Dong Li.

A strange look appeared on Shang Li’s face as he saw Nie Tian and Dong Li so easily decide who the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir would go to. “Umm… Well, I think something as precious as Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir is better given to those who’ll make a difference. Perhaps we can only turn the situation around if we can make late God domain experts with it.”

Laughing derisively, Nie Tian said with a sharp look in his eyes, “You think? Who do you think you are? I risked my life to obtain and take it back from another heaven and earth. Do I need your approval to decide how I’ll use it?”

Shang Li’s face stiffened. “I’m suggesting this for the good of humanity!”

“Hahaha!” Nie Tian laughed. “Do you harbor the thought that since you’re at the late Saint domain, you might be able to advance to the God domain if you can get some of my Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir? Or do you want me to hand over all of my Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir to the four great sects so they can decide how to divide it together?”

“That’s not what I meant.” Shang Li defended himself.

“As you said yourself, we’re not the only ones who have Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir. You Qimiao from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect has more than we do.” With these words, Nie Tian picked his ear in a lazy manner and casually flicked his finger towards Shang Li. “Why don’t you go find him and ask him to give you some of his Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir so you can divide it the way you want?

“He schemed against us, and hasn’t shown up to fight in the Domain of Heaven Span anyway.

“You’ll have justice on your side if you go after him right now.”

The disgust on Nie Tian’s face and the mockery in his eyes were unveiled.

Shang Li, who had a compulsive need for neatness, turned his shoulder to avoid what might be flying at him, then said coldly, “Of course we’ll hold You Qimiao accountable for his deeds! But that’ll have to wait for the situation to stabilize!”

Nie Tian finally lost his patience. “Senior Fan, do you think it’s appropriate for this moron to talk such nonsense in this meeting? How was someone like him taken in as one of your sectmaster’s stepsons? If everyone from your sect is so ignorant, then I see no meaning in fighting this war against the Ancientspirits and outsiders anymore.”

Even He Lianxiong, who was also a stepson of Chu Yuan and had always detested Nie Tian, wouldn’t have thought as wishfully as Shang Li did.

Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir was invaluable. However, Shang Li assumed that Nie Tian should give it away to the most fit recipients so they could make more or stronger God domain experts.

“How dare you call me a moron, Nie Tian?” Shang Li said with a cold expression.

Their conflict gave Fan Tianze a headache. He cast Shang Li a nasty look and said, “Shut up.”

Then, he flicked his sleeve, and overwhelming sword intent enveloped Shang Li like a cage. “You need to leave the meeting and go reflect on your behavior in your quarters.”

With a splash, Shang Li was taken away by a strong force.

Nie Tian looked up in the direction Shang Li had just disappeared and said, “I heard that someone came after our domains right after our hard-fought battles against the Demons in the Dead Star Sea. Now, the internal strife between the Floragrims and the Demons and Bonebrutes has given us a chance to catch our breath. It’ll be laughable if we get into internal strife ourselves because of someone like him.”

“What an ignorant fool.” Pei Qiqi said with an expressionless face.

Fan Tianze cleared his throat. “Alright, Shang Li’s cultivation talent is quite outstanding, but he has a one-track mind. Forget what he said, Nie Tian.”

Nie Tian represented the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, while Pei Qiqi represented more than half of the Void Spirit Society.

Those from the Five Elements Sect were also close to Nie Tian.

Plus, many Saint domain experts had shown strong interest in making friends with Nie Tian.

Fan Tianze was a smart man. He knew that the battles against the Ancientspirits and outsiders were taking place in the Domain of Heaven Span.

If he sided with Shang Li now, it might upset Nie Tian, and possibly lead to him pulling his forces out of the Domain of Heaven Span, which would then lead to significant changes. That was something he didn’t want to see.

Nie Tian pondered for a while, then said, “I had a talk with Fata of the Floragrims not long ago. As some of you might have heard, the Seven-star Blue Sea in my Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries has another name: the Seven Stars Realm Sea, and it leads to a whole other world that’s called the Void World.”

Many Saint domain experts present gasped in astonishment after hearing this for the first time.

“What? The Seven Stars Realm Sea connects to another world?”

“Is that true?”

“There’s another world other than the Spirit World and our world?”

Fan Tianze nodded, as if to say that he knew about the existence of the Void World, and signalled for Nie Tian to go on.

“Now, the Spirit World is experiencing an upheaval. Many of the Ancientspirits and outsiders’ realms are dying.” Nie Tian continued. “Perhaps if we can persuade the Ancientspirits and outsiders to enter the Void World and establish footholds in realms that suit their needs, that’ll solve our crisis.

“As for the Void World, their native races, including the Netherspirits, Devils, and Bonedrudes, have been drooling over the Spirit World and our world.

“The Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir I got was from the Netherspirits. And I suppose there are many more precious treasures to be discovered in the Void World that we don’t have in our world and the Spirit World, treasures that can help the Ancientspirits and outsiders strengthen their bloodlines, and help us seek breakthroughs in our cultivation.

“There’s a gate to the Void World in the depths of the Seven Stars Realm Sea that we can open for them.”
