Chapter 1287: Lighting up the Starry River

“Hahaha!”

Zu Guangyao’s hearty laughter resounded through the starry river.

In one moment, the laughter came from a sun transformed from his dharma idol. In another, it came from a blazing wheel. Then, it came from countless crimson fiery symbols that filled the void.

His dharma idol transformed infinitely in the area where the sun continued to blaze.

“I can’t believe he actually succeeded!” Xin Qing looked bewildered, as if she found what she had just seen unreal.

Even though she had implored Nie Tian to help Zu Guangyao with his breakthrough, she hadn’t placed much hope in it.

As an elder of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, of course she knew how hard it was to enter the God domain.

What about helping make God domain experts?

From the day human Qi warriors had been born and come up with the method of dividing cultivation bases, who had dared to say that he or she could help others enter the God domain?

Throughout human history, there hadn’t been a single cultivator who had guaranteed his or her ability to help others enter the God domain.

Nie Tian, however, had first succeeded with Mo Qianfan, and now again with Zu Guangyao.

The making of these two God domain experts were inseparable from Nie Tian’s efforts. It was fair to say that he had played a crucial role in both their breakthroughs into the God domain.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he was their maker.

Zu Guangyao laughed heartily once again. “Many thanks!”

WHOOSH!

His dharma idol suddenly scattered into billions of golden divine symbols that flew towards the blazing sun like a rainstorm.

Everyone sensed that the sun grew dim as soon as those divine symbols flew into it. Even its true sunflame burned less intensively.

“Zu Guangyao is absorbing the sun’s light with his divine power!

“He fused his divine will into his divine power, and split it into countless divine symbols. Each and every one of them is like a doppelgänger of his, which are now drawing pure sunflame from every inch of that sun!

“We can say that Zu Guangyao has officially entered the God domain.

“That’s right. All that’s left to do is stabilize his cultivation base.”

The observers from different domains examined the sun with their soul awareness, and discovered that Zu Guangyao’s aura had covered every part of it.

It was as if he had spread himself into a shield that enveloped that sun, and slowly absorbed its power.

Zhang Qiling and Li Wanfa, both of whom were at the late Saint domain, took the initiative to fly to Nie Tian’s glowing sphere, looking thrilled. “Nie Tian!”

Not daring to make any contact with the outer layers of the violent glowing sphere, they looked at him through the multicolored energy layers with disturbingly wide eyes.

Their eyes shone with light so sharp that it seemed as if they were going to swallow Nie Tian.

Nie Tian took a deep breath and summoned the flame spark back with his soul will. Only after it returned to his fire domain did he ask slowly, “Why are you looking at me like this?”

Zhang Qiling bowed and said with a sincere tone, “We were shortsighted. We had doubts about you when we were in the Domain of Primal Yang. That was because we weren’t there to witness Sectmaster Mo’s breakthrough into the God domain. We only heard about it. But this time, we personally witnessed Brother Zu’s breakthrough into the God domain. We don’t have even the slightest doubt about you anymore!”

Li Wanfa also bowed and said in a straightforward manner, “As long as you promise to give us help when we make our attempts to break through into the God domain, no matter the result, we’ll be willing to help you fight the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, the Shadow Society, and the Jade Heaven Sect!”

Upon hearing these words, Xin Qing and Han Wanrong, who were elders of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, gasped with shock.

“Li Wanfa! Zhang Qiling!” The crowd of Void and Saint domain experts who had traveled countless kilometers from various domains burst into a loud clamor after hearing what they said.

SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!

Sect and clan leaders that could determine the future direction of their sects and clans with a single word morphed into streaks of colorful light that dashed over to gather around Nie Tian’s glowing sphere.

One, two, three...

A total of sixty Saint domain experts from different domains were soon gathered around Nie Tian!

A dozen of them were at the late Saint domain, with the rest at the early and middle Saint domain. They all represented different domains and cultivator forces.

Not one of them was foolish. After Zhang Qiling and Li Wanfa had made an example for them, these Saint domain experts swarmed over to fix Nie Tian with blazing gazes and made similar proposals.

“Nie Tian! As long as you promise to help me when I attempt to advance to the God domain, I’ll give you my word now that my sect will go all-out to assist you!”

“The same goes for me! As long as you agree to help me, no matter what the result, I’ll promise to help you fight the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect and the Shadow Society, and eliminate the Jade Heaven Sect’s residual evil!”

“Please consider my proposal, Nie Tian!”

“Umm...” Nie Tian was dumbfounded. Looking at the anticipating and excited faces, he was suddenly at a loss for words.

With a complicated look in her eyes, Han Wanrong whispered to Xin Qing, “Even if our sect fell under the joint attack of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect and the Shadow Society, as long as Nie Tian survived, we’d still have a chance to rise to prominence again. All of those sect and clan leaders are at the Saint domain. Some are even late Saint domain experts.

“Like Yin Xingtian’s Streamcloud Sword Sect, all of their sects and clans are independent from the four great sects. They don’t answer the summons of any other sect.

“But now, look how excited and eager they are after confirming that Nie Tian actually helped Mo Qianfan and Zu Guangyao break through into the God domain.

“If Nie Tian can gather them by his side and help them enter the God domain, then...”

Xin Qing’s tender body shook slightly as she chimed in, “If Nie Tian can really do that, even if our sect is gone, he’ll be able to replace it. Not only will his power soon rise above that of our sect, but it will also soon rise above that of the Void Spirit Society, the Five Elements Sect, and the Heaven Span Pavilion as well!”

Han Wanrong let out a long sigh. “This is unbelievable...”

Yu Suying, Yin Xingtian, Mo Qianfan, Dong Li, Master Blood Spirit, Xie Qian, and Jing Feiyang were all pushed to farther locations by the crazed Saint domain experts.

They exchanged glances and smiled bitterly.

Shortly afterwards, Yu Suying said, “This rising star brings both calamities and fortune. It doesn’t matter whether he’s a star of calamities or a star of fortune, he’ll shine bright enough to light up the entire starry river!”

“It seems to me that as long as Nie Tian accepts their offers, whether he means it or not, the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s crisis will be easily solved,” Yin Xingtian said.

If dozens of Saint domain experts joined Nie Tian’s service after he simply nodded his head, would the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, the Shadow Society, and the half-dead Jade Heaven Sect still dare to carry out their evil plan?

Those Saint domain experts represented numerous powerful independent sects and clans like the Heavenly Spirit Sect and the Ancient Law Sect.

Of course they couldn’t threaten the Shadow Society and the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect individually, but what if they joined hands?

If there were no mishaps, this joint force would be strong enough to impose fear on the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect and the Shadow Society, or even cause them to give up on the idea of overthrowing the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

Master Blood Spirit, Xie Qian, and Jing Feiyang, all of whom were Nie Tian’s Saint domain subordinates, exclaimed softly, “God domain!”

Nie Tian was able to help Mo Qianfan and Zu Guangyao break through into the God domain. What about them?

“The power to make God domain experts!” Mixed emotions rose in Yu Suying’s heart. “There are dozens of zealous Saint domain cultivators. Even if Nie Tian helped only a small portion of them enter the God domain, the situation of the human world and even the entire starry river might change because of it.

“The Shadow Society and the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect may be able to challenge Nie Tian now, but what about in the future?

“If he can help Saint domain cultivators enter the God domain, perhaps he can help early God domain cultivators advance to the middle God domain as well. He may even have the ability to help middle God domain cultivators reach the peak, the late God domain!

“Such a character is bound to change the landscape of the starry river in the future. I bet even Qu Yi and Chu Yuan would be shocked if they learned about his divine ability.”

Yu Suying was lost in myriad thoughts, convinced that the future of humanity would experience significant changes because of Nie Tian’s appearance.

None of them thought that what Nie Tian had helped Mo Qianfan and Zu Guangyao achieve were accidents anymore. They all believed they were inevitable results now.

At this moment, Nie Tian’s resonant voice came from the heart of the Primal Chaos. “Ladies and gentlemen! I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to help you enter the God domain! Many factors contributed to me being able to help Sectmaster Mo and Elder Zu of my sect break through into the God domain. As for you, I can’t promise anything. Plus, I don’t need you to suddenly express your goodwill to me now!”

Xin Qing and Han Wanrong’s faces dropped as soon as they heard these words.
