YM778.TV Chapter 1290: Worshiped by People from Everywhere
While many came from different domains, many left as well. The traffic in this region was unprecedented.
Most of those who had witnessed Nie Tian shatter the Realm of Jade Billows, destroy the Jade Heaven Sect, inflict serious injuries on Song Chequan, and help Zu Guangyao break through into the God domain, had gotten the answer they had wanted, and were thus leaving successively.
Those who were arriving successively were mostly people who had heard about what had happened, and had thus traveled a great distance to worship their idols.
On the one hand, they came to worship Zu Guangyao, who had advanced to the God domain. But more importantly, they came to worship Nie Tian, who was now known as the Star of Calamities and Godmaker.
At first, it was mainly people from nearby advanced domains or minor human sects and clans.
However, it wasn’t very long before powerful experts from the Five Elements Sect, the Void Spirit Society, and the Heaven Span Pavilion arrived in groups.
WHOOSH!
A starship sailed past the blazing sun. On it, He Lianxiong from the Heaven Span Pavilion had already advanced to the late Void domain, and had been preparing for his advance to the Saint domain.
Standing on the starship, he gazed off at the sun where Zu Guangyao was currently cultivating. After sensing in silence for a long while, he muttered, “That’s right. That whole sun is emanating Zu Guangyao’s aura and divine power.”
Ye Wenhan, who was at the early God domain and also from the Heaven Span Pavilion, sighed in admiration and said, “The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace seemed to be falling, but who would have thought they’d present the world with another bright star? The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace is indeed an ancient great sect with profound reserve power. There are always unique, brilliant stars in every generation of their Sons of the Stars.”
“Does Sikong Cuo count as one?” He Lianxiong asked.
Ye Wenhan shook his head. “He’s not that outstanding. Many Sons of the Stars from past generations were more brilliant than him. Being in the same generation as Nie Tian, he was outshone from the day Nie Tian finished his path of stars and officially joined the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. After that, as Nie Tian’s name is discussed by more and more people throughout the starry river, Sikong Cuo’s name is almost forgotten.”
He Lianxiong fell silent, turning to fix his eyes on the glorious sphere in the distance.
Nie Tian was in it.
After a long while, He Lianxiong said, looking puzzled, “Our sect has been aware of this joint operation of the Shadow Society, the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, and the Jade Heaven Sect, but hasn’t done anything about it. Why? Are we really going to watch the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace be torn apart and gobbled up by those sects?”
Ye Wenhan frowned and said, “Our sectmaster isn’t around. Patriarch Fan takes no interest in worldly business. Who knows where he’s wandered off to recently? Only those two can handle the sectmaster of the Shadow Society in battle. I don’t possess such power. Besides, the Shadow Society made extremely great contributions and sacrifices to the survival of the human race. And they’re on friendly terms with the other great sects as well. So...”
“What if Ji Cang and Mo Heng come back and hold us accountable?” He Lianxiong asked.
“Who can be sure about the future?” Ye Wenhan said, feeling powerless. “Right now, great changes are taking place everywhere, giving rise to all kinds of trouble. We don’t even know if our sect can survive this perilous time. Not only do we not have the energy to mind other sects’ business, but it’s also an unwise thing to do.”
...
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Huang Jinnan, Hou Chulan, Lou Hongyan and several Saint domain experts from the Five Elements Sect flew out of their ancient starships, and stopped in a place close to the glorious sphere.
“Godmaker!” Ruan Qingliu exclaimed softly, her eyes glittering with aspiration.
Since she had been stuck at the late Saint domain for many years, her aspiration was understandable.
Huang Jinnan sighed in admiration. “I really didn’t expect Nie Tian to give us another great surprise like this. I thought he would find a secluded location to forge his domain after we parted ways in the Domain of Heaven Python. Who would have thought that he’d make such a great stir with his breakthrough into the Void domain? He almost wiped out the entire Jade Heaven Sect single-handedly.”
Lou Hongyan took a deep look at the glowing sphere and said, “Nie Tian has already grown into a powerhouse. Even if the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace falls, he’ll be able to rise to the peak step by step from its ruins. As long as he doesn’t die prematurely, he’ll be bound to take Ji Cang’s place and rebuild the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.”
Hou Chulan smiled and said, “As long as he’s alive, the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace won’t fall in the first place!”
After pondering for a while, Huang Jinnan said, “Given the current situation, I think it’s necessary that we reconsider our position in this. How about we make another effort and see if we can change our sect elders’ minds about staying out of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, the Shadow Society, and the Jade Heaven Sect’s operation against the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace?”
“I think that’s what we should do.” Hou Chulan agreed.
...
FIZZ!
A spatial rift split open.
Ji Yuanquan from the Void Spirit Society flew through it and arrived in a place not far from the glowing sphere, along with Qi Lianshan and several other elders of the Void Spirit Society.
This was the place where Yu Suying, Mo Qianfan, Yin Xingtian, Dong Li, Xie Qian, and Master Blood Spirit were gathered.
Yu Suying and Mo Qianfan sensed his aura the moment he arrived, their expressions flickering. “Ji Yuanquan?!”
Ji Yuanquan lifted his hands. “Don’t get us wrong!”
Then, he flew into their midst, and explained in a low voice, “I have nothing to do with the decisions Hong Minghui and Vice Sectmaster Xuan Guangyu made!”
With these words, he fixed his eyes on the glowing sphere around Nie Tian, and sensed it with rapt attention.
Dong Li pursed her lips into a smile. “I also suspected Mr. Ji had nothing to do with that. As far as I know, Pei Qiqi has Mr. Ji’s firm support. Nothing will change that.”
Ji Yuanquan smiled wryly and said, “Miss Pei is in secluded cultivation. She doesn’t know what’s happening in the outside world. Also, since our sectmaster is away on a trip, our vice sectmaster, Xuan Guangyu, has taken over sect affairs.”
The purpose of his trip was to explain the situation.
The Void Spirit Society’s recent decisions had been cooked up by Hong Minghui and Xuan Guangyu, and had nothing to do with him, Pei Qiqi, or Qu Yi.
Dong Li nodded slightly. “I see why you’re here.”
“When will Nie Tian finish his breakthrough?” Ji Yuanquan asked, frowning. “Right now, the Realm of Fragmentary Star is facing a delicate situation. According to reliable information, the sectmaster of the Shadow Society has already arrived in the Realm of Fragmentary Star, and is about to launch bombardments targeting the Nine Star Heavens. Once the grand spell formations that have protected the Realm of Fragmentary Star for countless years are breached, the Realm of Fragmentary Star will fall soon after.”
“We don’t care what happens to the Realm of Fragmentary Star or the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.” Yu Suying made their stance clear. “Nie Tian is who we care about. We’re not going to rescue the Realm of Fragmentary Star without his instruction. To us, Nie Tian being able to stabilize his domain is more important than anything.”
Mo Qianfan, Yin Xingtian, Xie Qian, and Master Blood Spirit all nodded in agreement.
They attached great importance to Nie Tian, not the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.
Because of this, when Xin Qing and Han Wanrong had returned to their sect earlier, their invitation for them to return together had been turned down without leaving any room for maneuver.
That was when Xin Qing and Han Wanrong had understood that no one other than Nie Tian could get these patriarchs to do their bidding.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
All of a sudden, a violent storm rose in the glowing sphere, which wasn’t far from everyone.
The star domain over Nie Tian’s head, the fire domain around him, and the wood domain under his feet rapidly morphed among various manifestations, as if three different worlds were going to merge.
Ji Yuanquan was flabbergasted. “Three domains, three attributes, and three kinds of incantations... Are they really going to fuse as one?
“The fusion of different attributes is always accompanied by great risks! Many have been killed during their attempts to merge power of different attributes!”
Those who knew how difficult it was to fuse different attributes gasped with astonishment before Ji Yuanquan even said these words.
“You Qimiao from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect is only formidable because he managed to merge power of two different attributes,” Ji Yuanquan continued. “However, I heard that his true soul almost perished during his fusion of power. Luckily, the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect’s Remote Beginning Heavenly Chaos Incarnation happens to be a great fit for fusing different attributes. Only because of this did he succeed.
“There don’t seem to be incantations like the Remote Beginning Heavenly Chaos Incarnation among the incantations Nie Tian practices. Can he really make it work?”
Ji Yuanquan looked deeply worried. It seemed that he really wanted Nie Tian to succeed.
“He can. I’m sure of it!” Dong Li’s charming exclamation rang out.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
One spiritual tool after another suddenly flew into Nie Tian’s Primal Chaos.
The Star Behemoth bone, the Spirit Pearl, the Flame Dragon Armor, and the unique treasures that had been nourished by Nie Tian’s Blood Essence left the inner layers and flew into the outer layers of the glowing sphere.
Simultaneously, all of them started to absorb power of different attributes.
Everyone looked with rapt attention, and were shocked to discover that the outer layers that were filled with raging, twisting, and ripping power started to gradually shrink.
From the look of it, the energies that had taken the magnetic field a long time to gather were being condensed and fusing into the unique treasures.
More importantly, all of this seemed to be under Nie Tian’s control.
