Chapter 1437: Discussion
WHOOSH!
Dong Li took out a transparent glass vessel from within her ring of holding and showed it to everyone present. “This is the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir we obtained from the Netherspirits in the Void World.”
Everyone’s gazes immediately converged on the vessel.
It was a glass bottle that was the size of a fist, filled with clear, sparkling liquid.
With her jade-like finger, Dong Li gently opened the bottle.
BOOM!
Everyone present instantly felt a strong jolt to their true souls.
One after another, their true souls rose out of their seas of awareness to float over their heads like ghosts, whose eyes were naturally fixed on the glass bottle that contained the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir.
Even Nie Tian was no exception.
Cultivators gained the ability to separate their true souls from their fleshly bodies after entering the Profound realm.
After they reached the Saint domain, their true souls could travel thousands of kilometers away from their fleshly bodies, and even attack enemies with profound soul magics.
At this moment, everyone’s true souls left their bodies just because Dong Li opened the glass bottle.
Nie Tian’s soul shadow examined the glass bottle in Dong Li’s palm from afar. “Such a wondrous aura. Even my true soul is feeling an overwhelming desire to refine it.”
He discovered that his true soul yearned for the clear, sparkling liquid within the bottle.
It seemed as if his true soul would be cleansed if he simply controlled it to enter the bottle, allowing his soul cultivation to instantly rise to a new level.
PAH!
Dong Li laughed softly and closed the bottle.
As soon as the bottle was recapped, one true soul after another calmed down due to losing their sense of the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir’s aura, and flew back to their fleshly bodies.
Fan Tianze took a deep breath and sighed. “The wonders of this universe are simply unpredictable. By merely smelling the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir’s aura, I felt greatly soothed on a soul level. I firmly believe if I could cleanse my soul with it, it would be greatly helpful to my breakthrough into the late God domain.”
“I agree.” Chu Rui chimed in.
Yu Suying’s eyes also shone with the light of excitement.
In a casual manner, Dong Li returned the bottle that held the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir to her ring of holding, and then smiled like a hundred gorgeous flowers blooming. “Alright. We’ll put this Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir to good use. If you also want some, you’re welcome to enter the Void World and take it from the Netherspirits there.
“And perhaps You Qimiao from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect still has some left.”
Nie Tian cleared his throat to catch everyone’s attention, then said, “However, what I really want to tell you is that even though we don’t have such wondrous things as Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir in our world or the Spirit World, the Void World might have them in large numbers.
“Both Jiang Yuanchi from the Shadow Society and You Qimiao from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect entered the Void World to seek what they truly wanted!
“While You Qimiao returned with Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir, Jiang Yuanchi is still in the Void World, looking for whatever he’s after.”
Pei Qiqi joined the conversation. “We can enter and exit the Void World through the Seven Stars Realm Sea in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries. If we can persuade the Ancientspirits, the Floragrims, and perhaps other minor outsider races to march into the Void World with us, I’ll figure out a way to activate the portal and let them through.”
Then, after a short pause, she added, “Of course, if you yearn for Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir and want to explore the Void World, I can make that happen too.”
Just like this, Nie Tian, Dong Li, and Pei Qiqi fueled the desires of those present.
After they finished, many Saint domain experts breathed heavily, looking deeply intrigued.
Even the eyes of God domain experts, including Fan Tianze, Ye Wenhan, and Chu Rui, burst forth with glorious light, as if they were seriously considering Nie Tian, Dong Li, and Pei Qiqi’s proposal: march into the Void World!
After a long while, Ye Wenhan said, “If we want to enter the Void World, we’ll have to solve our current problem first: the invasion of the Domain of Heaven Span. Only if we can persuade the Ancientspirits and the outsiders that are seeking to establish footholds in our world to march into the Void World with us will we be able to do it without fear of being attacked from behind.”
Fan Tianze nodded. “Also, we need to learn more about the Void World.”
“Titans, Ancientbeasts, and dragons...” Nie Tian whispered to himself before suddenly realizing something. “Perhaps I should go have a talk with the Ancientspirits. If I can persuade them, then it’ll most likely put an end to this war.”
Astonished, Fan Tianze asked, “You want to go talk with the Ancientspirits?”
“You can’t do that, Nie Tian! That’s too great a risk!” Chu Rui shouted. “You should know that you’re the Demons, Phantasms, and Bonebrutes’ primary target now! They probably want to kill you even more than God domain experts like me!”
“He’s right, Nie Tian,” Fan Tianze said with a serious expression.
“They really are looking to kill you,” Hou Chulan from the Five Elements Sect also said with all seriousness. “According to the information I obtained, you and Pei Qiqi are at the top of the list of humans that the Demons, Phantasms, and Bonebrutes want to kill. They’ll kill you at all costs, even if it’s the deaths of multiple grand patriarchs!”
Huang Jinnan chimed in. “Some grand monarchs have even said that they’re willing to risk the destruction of their fleshly bodies, as long as they can kill you.”
Even if grand monarchs’ fleshly bodies perished, they could be reborn with the Blood Essence that was kept in their clans, so it wouldn’t be death in a real sense.
Even so, the resurrection process would be full of difficulties, and might take tens of thousands of years and perhaps even more to complete. During the process, their clansmen would have to provide them a tremendous amount of flesh power.
Nie Tian rubbed his nose and laughed. “I can’t believe I’ve become so important. However, I’ve made my decision. I’ll go to the Ancientspirits and have a thorough talk with their leaders. Titans, Ancientbeasts, and dragons all have a certain connection with me.”
Titan’s Wrath and the Illusory Ancient Talisman, which he had learned from that magical land, had come from the titans.
On that floating continent, he had provided the ice phoenixes with help. Other than that, Agaz’s older brother had talked to him.
“That’ll be far too risky! Don’t do it!” Chu Rui said.
“I’ll go with you,” Pei Qiqi suddenly said to Nie Tian. “Even though I can’t promise that I’ll be able to take you back safely with my Space Boundaries Crystal, I’ll try my best.”
They would be facing multiple Ancientspirit grand monarchs. As powerful as Pei Qiqi was, she wasn’t sure that she would be able to travel freely in the area controlled by powerful Ancientspirit experts.
“Just take me there. Leave the rest to me.” With these words, Nie Tian pondered briefly, and then turned to Chu Rui and Fan Tianze and said, “Originally, I wanted to ask Fata of the Floragrims to explain my stance to the Ancientspirits. But who would have thought that he would be suddenly held hostage by the Demons and Bonebrutes?
“In this case, I can only take a trip myself. Perhaps the Ancientspirits won’t harm me for the sake of our previous association.”
“Ancientspirits...” Fan Tianze pondered. “How about this: you wait here while I go talk to Chatvic in person first?”
“Chatvic? The ancient god-level titan that we met in the Shatter Battlefield?” Nie Tian asked.
Fan Tianze nodded slowly. “That’s right. He was very curious about you. Even when we fought on the battlefield, he had said how wondrous your bloodline was on several occasions, and mentioned that your bloodline might have something to do with theirs.”
Nie Tian was taken aback. “Well, my connection with them might not be on the bloodline level.”
“Anyways, wait for word from me!” Fan Tianze said with unquestionable decisiveness. Nie Tian pondered for a brief moment, then nodded.
Only after seeing this did Fan Tianze continue, “Your proposal about the Void World has given us a new direction.”
“If the Ancientspirits actually agree to your proposal, then the crisis of our domain and even the entire human world will be solved.”
After hearing these words, everyone started looking at Nie Tian differently.
Chu Rui jumped in and said, “Also, the Seven Stars Realm Sea is in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, which belongs to Nie Tian. If this actually works out, Nie Tian’s contribution will be greater than anyone else’s. Do you agree?”
Fan Tianze nodded. “Of course. I just hope the Ancientspirits will have a strong interest in this proposal.”
After pondering for a while, Pei Qiqi from the Void Spirit Society said, “How about we talk to the Ancientspirits and set up a meeting in a mutual location, and see if they want to come and talk to Nie Tian? Let’s find out what their attitude is first.”
Fan Tianze took a moment to consider her suggestion, then said, “Alright.”
“I can take you to the area where the Ancientspirits are gathered,” Pei Qiqi said. “If some of the titans, Ancientbeasts, and dragons know you personally, they might agree to meet.”
“Sure." Fan Tianze agreed.
The two of them then prepared for departure.
Just like this, this important meeting between the leaders of the human forces from various domains came to an end because of Nie Tian’s proposal before all the attendants could even arrive.
Soon, Pei Qiqi spun the Space Boundaries Crystal and vanished with Fan Tianze.
Everyone else waited, hoping they would return with good news.
Experts from across the human world had come to join this hard-fought war. They had suffered greater casualties than the outsiders, and thus wished it to be over soon.
While everyone waited, Shang Li from the Heaven Span Pavilion became their laughingstock.
As they cozied up to Nie Tian and Dong Li, they would often say that Shang Li had shown extraordinary cultivation talent since he had been little. However, he had always lacked worldly wisdom, and thus was usually instigated by his followers to do ignorant things.
Many, including Li Wanfa and Zhang Qiling, expressed their desire for Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir both overtly and covertly.
They expressed that they would be willing to do anything if they could have a few drops of Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir and enter the God domain with its help.
That included joining Nie Tian’s service while declaring to be his allies as Xie Qian had, which would effectively attach their sects to Nie Tian, this war chariot that was quickly charging forward.
However, Dong Li eventually refused their offers after serious consideration.
