The elder of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect flew over to Nie Tian upon hearing his summons.
Elation filled the eyes of Yin Xingtian and the others as soon as they heard Nie Tian’s voice. “Nie Tian is awake!”
Then, they watched the elder of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect fly off to meet with Nie Tian.
A while later, they saw the elder leave through the same teleportation portal he had come from.
As soon as the elder left, Yin Xingtian, Yu Suying, Wei Lai, and the other experts saw Nie Tian flying out of the meteor where he had been practicing cultivation towards the floating continent like a glorious shooting star.
At the same time, his resonant voice echoed through the void.
“Floragrims and Ancientspirits, please speed up your preparations. As soon as all of your young clan members get here, I’ll have spatial tunnels opened, so they can move into the Silent Star Sea.”
“Senior Yin, would you and the others come into the floating continent with me?”
“All God domain, Saint domain, and Void domain cultivators from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, the Domain of the Falling Stars, and the Domain of Heaven Python are allowed to enter the floating continent.”
“You can come too, Elder Wei.”
Nie Tian’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears as he flew towards the floating continent.
Every human, Ancientspirit, and Floragrim on the meteors around the Realm of Shattered Earth heard him perfectly.
“The floating continent!” Yin Xingtian was the first to spring to his feet, his eyes lighting up and his back straight like an unsheathed sword.
Wei Lai, who had come from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, looked confused as he asked, “The floating continent? Why is Nie Tian summoning us to the floating continent?”
“Every God domain, Saint domain, and Void domain cultivator from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, the Domain of Heaven Python, and the Domain of the Falling Stars is invited,” Yu Suying said with a thoughtful expression. “It seems that only we and those who have sworn allegiance to him are allowed to enter the floating continent. So I guess this is a good thing.”
Jing Feiyang from the Divine Seal Sect turned his eyes thoughtfully before suddenly realizing something. “A good thing! Okay, I’m taking a quick trip back to the Domain of Heaven Python to get all of our disciples who’re at the Void domain or higher to teleport here. Then, I’ll take them to check things out on the floating continent.”
Upon hearing his words, Dong Qisong, Zhongli Jian, and Yue Yanxi, who had been forced to move their remaining forces to this place after the fall of the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, also grew excited.
Instead of flying into the floating continent right away, figure after figure flew off and left.
“Let’s go in first!” With these words, Mo Qianfan from the Heavenly Thunder Sect shot towards the floating continent like a long, glorious bolt of lightning.
He was followed by Yin Xingtian, Yu Suying, Wei Lai, and Master Blood Spirit.
SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!
Upon Nie Tian’s summons, streaks of divine light shot into the floating continent one after another without meeting any resistance from the pale-gray tearing currents.
After coming to a stop at the top continent, they instantly found themselves in a vast expanse filled with countless pieces of floating land.
Upon entering the floating continent, Wei Lai, Yin Xingtian, and the others couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.
“Such rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth!”
“I can’t believe the spiritual Qi here is several times richer than that in the Realm of Fragmentary Star!”
“This is probably the most ideal place there is for human Qi warriors to practice cultivation!”
During the past few days, Yin Xingtian and Yu Suying, who had suffered heavy blows from Aztec, the Son of Darkness, in the Domain of Endless Snow, had been healing themselves with medicinal pills they had taken from their sects.
Now, they both felt refreshed and spirited sensing the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth on the floating continent, which was much richer than that at their headquarters.
Then, floating high in the air, they glanced down with their piercing, torch-like eyes.
Originally, the top continent and the bottom continent had been separated by a sea of pale-gray mist. Now, even though the mist still existed, the devastating tearing power within it seemed to have been canceled by the behemoth.
This allowed Yu Suying and the other God domain experts to see through the mist and obtain a comprehensive view of the bottom continent.
They could see mountains, lakes, and the vast black sea that seemed to take up most of the continent.
In the black sea, there were islands even vaster than some realms. Even the smaller ones took up vast areas.
Suddenly, they noticed that glorious light was spewing from certain areas on the islands and landmasses.
In some areas, the earth and mountains split open, revealing veins of magical minerals that emanated intoxicating light like long, winding crimson dragons.
The pale-gray mist that enshrouded some of the islands scattered, revealing a wide array of spirit herbs that had long since become extinct in the Spirit World and Mortal World.
Each and every plant was at the Earth Cultivated grade. After growing for who knew how long, their leaves were emerald green and wreathed in divine light, giving people a wondrous feeling that if they took them, they would be able to recover from any injuries or diseases, and even their souls would grow.
Some vast landmasses were covered in glorious light that emanated shocking power fluctuations.
Some mountains were cracked open, allowing blocks of metal to roll down them. Even though they hadn’t been forged into weapons, those blocks of metal seemed sharp enough to pierce through heaven and earth and split the realm barriers of ancient lands.
There were all sorts of mineral veins, wondrous metals, rare herbs, soul-nourishing fruits, lights filled with peculiar energies, and other streaks of light that carried unusual spatial power…
“Oh my god!” Wei Lai from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace groaned as if he were in a dream. “I’ve been to this floating continent before, but I’d never thought there to be such a large reserve of precious materials!”
The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s agreement with the Ripper Behemoth only allowed young disciples of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace to take trials in certain areas of the floating continent.
However, the vast majority of the floating continent had remained closed to them. That was why Wei Lai and many others that had taken trials on the floating continent were still unfamiliar with most parts of it.
They didn’t know how vast the floating continent actually was, or how many secrets it held.
That changed at this moment!
Wei Lai was dumbfounded as he looked down at the wide variety of precious materials, wondrous spell formations, and treasures that couldn’t even be found in the Spirit World or the Mortal World, and sensed them with his soul.
He didn’t even recognize many of the precious materials.
However, those he could recognize were all precious treasures that were rumored to be very helpful for improving one’s battle prowess, things that humans and outsiders of different races would die for.
After gazing about for a short while, Yu Suying from the Profound Purity Palace said with her face filled with astonishment. “My horizons have been broadened today. As one of the most powerful second-tier human sects, I had thought my sect had quite profound reserves. But only after seeing this do I realize that I was a frog in a well. I’m afraid the number of precious treasures on the floating continent is even greater than the reserves of the four great sects combined!”
Yin Xingtian from the Streamcloud Sword Sect sighed with admiration. “No wonder the Ripper Behemoth chooses to hide on this floating continent. For the past hundreds of thousands of years, the floating continent has drifted between the Mortal World and the Spirit World. It has even been to the remote corners of both worlds.
“Also, because the Ripper Behemoth has been hiding on it, it has remained full of energy and guided by its awareness.
“Many eras have passed. Countless grand monarchs and God domain experts have perished. Yet, the floating continent and the Ripper Behemoth have lived on. The history of this floating continent is even longer than that of any of the four great sects. Perhaps that is the reason why it holds such a large reserve of rare treasures, and so many herbs that have long since gone extinct in the Mortal World and the Spirit World can be found on the floating continent.”
Yin Xingtian appeared to have recovered from the initial moment of shock, and figured out the reason behind this.
Wei Lai from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace finally calmed himself as well. Looking down at Nie Tian, who was suspended over the black sea on the bottom continent, he asked, “Why did you want us to come here with you, Nie Tian?”
“A great battle awaits,” Nie Tian answered. “We’ve got to do everything we can to improve our battle prowess.”
