Over the next few months,
During this period, Nie Li and the others hadn't stopped expanding their influence. With so many divine medicines and various treasures, the Demon Alliance, the Heavenly Movement Alliance, and the Sound Alliance grew at a truly astonishing pace.
Nie Li's own strength surged wildly as well, reaching the very peak of the Heavenly Rotation Realm.
Though it was only the peak of the Heavenly Rotation Realm, Nie Li's true combat power was already on par with a powerhouse at the fifth level of the Dragon Dao Realm.
The Heavenly Dao Divine Art grew harder to advance the deeper one cultivated it, but each breakthrough amplified one's strength far beyond that of ordinary geniuses — by ten or even several dozen times.
"Nie Li, I'm about to take over as the steward of the Heavenly River Hall under the Gu Clan. Even though that little punk
"The steward of the Heavenly River Hall — what kind of position is that?" Nie Li couldn't help but ask.
"Well, in the Gu Clan, the designated heir doesn't hold any real power. But as the first-in-line heir, one is entitled to take on the role of steward of the Heavenly River Hall. It's not a massive organization — only a few hundred people — but it touches on every aspect of the clan's affairs. Once you've established a solid footing in the Heavenly River Hall, you can go on to take over the entire clan!" Gu Bei said with a slight smile.
"So, is it difficult to take charge of the Heavenly River Hall?" Nie Li asked with a grin.
"If it were just me alone, it would be tricky. But my sister's got my back," Gu Bei replied with a laugh.
At his words, a certain beautiful, stubborn, and brilliant young woman surfaced in Nie Li's mind.
"How's your sister doing these days?" Nie Li asked.
"With the divine medicine you gave her, my sister's cultivation has skyrocketed — she's already at the second level of the Dragon Dao Realm. She spends all her free time cultivating, aside from guiding me through clan matters. She wants to use the divine medicine's power to break through to the Martial Sovereign Realm within a few years!" Gu Bei said. The speed at which his sister progressed was nothing short of jaw-dropping.
"Your sister's talent really is astonishing!" Nie Li exclaimed.
"She talks about you all the time, actually. She says you're a person of divine destiny, one who holds the power to reverse fate. She told me to support you wholeheartedly!" Gu Bei said with a smile.
A person of divine destiny? Power to reverse fate?
Nie Li thought about it for a moment. Gu Bei's sister,
Nie Li gazed into the distant void with a deep, distant look in his eyes. The thought of that incomparably powerful Saint Emperor filled his heart with an intense sense of urgency.
Just then, Nie Li's head suddenly felt as though it were about to explode.
"Agh?!" Nie Li let out a tortured scream. The horrifying pain was something even he could not withstand.
"Nie Li, what's wrong?!" Gu Bei asked in a panic from beside him. Seeing Nie Li clutching his head in agony, screaming nonstop, he was thrown into complete disarray.
What was going on? Why had Nie Li suddenly collapsed like this?
At the sound of Nie Li's screams,
"What happened to Nie Li?"
"Quick, help him up!"
