"Oh? Is that so." The gray-robed elder's gaze settled on
Long Tianming changed the subject. "This time I've gained quite a few spirit stones — just enough to expand my strength. I sent so many Celestial Transformation Realm experts to
"I'll help you claim the seat of Feather God Sect Master, but don't forget what you promised me!" The gray-robed elder stared at Long Tianming, his voice cold.
"Of course not!" Long Tianming said with a smile.
What Gu Bei and the others didn't know was that while they had been focused on dealing with Gu Heng, they had already been watched.
Inside the Myriad Rivers and Mountains Scroll.
The Heavenly Dao power within the entire Myriad Rivers and Mountains Scroll was absolutely massive — and limitless.
Days passed one after another. With his Ancient Bloodline as a foundation, Nie Li absorbed the Heavenly Dao power without the slightest restraint. His Soul Sea expanded continuously, as if being torn apart over and over. The intense agony left Nie Li's face pale and sweat streaming down his forehead — the Heavenly Dao power felt as though it were about to burst his entire body apart.
Boom!
His Soul Sea seemed to detonate.
Bzz!
Nie Li entered a wondrous state of awareness. He could feel that within his Soul Sea, that vine was growing larger and larger, like a towering tree, constantly putting out branch after branch, and upon them, mysterious flowers were endlessly blooming.
The flowers were immaculately white, and petal after petal drifted gently downward.
Their fragrance was intoxicating, as if he had arrived in a spring garden in full bloom.
Nie Li vaguely sensed that beneath this vine, space and time had completely frozen.
He simply sat in meditation beneath the vine, cultivating in silence. His cultivation refined itself steadily, and time slipped by.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Within his dantian, the third Fate Star had finally condensed.
Nie Li remained seated.
Three months later — the fourth Fate Star.
Motionless as a stone statue, he sat there without the slightest movement. Nie Li's sense of time had come to a complete standstill.
Six months later, the fifth Fate Star ignited within his Soul Sea.
With a thunderous boom, Nie Li's mind seemed to shatter once more, and he snapped out of a hazy, dazed state. He froze for a moment, then opened his eyes, realizing with alarm that he had been cultivating inside the Myriad Rivers and Mountains Scroll for far longer than expected!
Six months. Who knew how
The moment Nie Li opened his eyes, he found
"Xiao Yu, why are you looking at me like that?" Nie Li asked in confusion. Her expression was as if she had seen a ghost.
"What do you think? In the span of a single blink, your cultivation went from Nine Lives Realm all the way to the Celestial Star Realm, and it looks like you skipped several ranks on top of that!" Xiao Yu said in disbelief.
