Lord of All Realms

Chapter 1611: The New Base



In the Realm of Middle Continent.

Ji Yuanquan from the Void Spirit Society shuttled back and forth within the realm by relying on his spatial power.

After all of the other experts had left the Realm of Middle Continent, Ji Yuanquan had stayed behind to keep an eye on Nie Tian and help him travel between different areas of the Spirit World when needed.

However, the battle between Nie Tian and Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory and the battle between the five evil gods and Grand Monarch Ash Bone had created such a major stir that even Ji Yuanquan hadn’t dared to go anywhere near their battle zone.

Later, Nie Tian had carried their battles farther and farther away from the Realm of Middle Continent. Seeing the trend of the battle, Ji Yuanquan had chosen not to follow them.

He had chosen to wait for Nie Tian in the Realm of Middle Continent.

WHOOSH!

After another void travel, he arrived in front of the icy lake You Qimiao and Han Qing had entered.

There weren’t even the slightest waves on the black lake that exuded a frigid aura that could freeze even heaven and earth.

“It’s been a long time since You Qimiao and Han Qing entered this lake,” Ji Yuanquan said, frowning. “No matter what grand secrets it holds, they should have uncovered them by now. Don’t tell me that they’ve frozen to death down there. That can’t be it. Han Qing perhaps, but You Qimiao is a late God domain expert, for heaven’s sake!”

He couldn’t figure out an answer.

All of a sudden, he saw an emerald-like land with a lush ancient tree on it emerging in the starry river outside the Realm of Middle Continent.

Every branch and leaf of the ancient tree was covered in complicated patterns, which seemed to carry the profound truths of life. Only by looking at it from afar, Ji Yuanquan felt dazzled somehow.

Having never seen the Tree of Life before, he went blank for a long while before exclaiming, “The Tree of Life!”

All of a sudden, the emerald-like land split the realm barrier and descended towards the southern part of the Realm of Middle Continent.

BOOM!

The moment the land hit the ground, the entire Realm of Middle Continent gave a strong shudder.

Overwhelmed by the shudder, Ji Yuanquan hesitated for a few seconds before flying off towards the southern part of the realm.

However, as he arrived in the area, he found a vast, emerald green hemispherical shield enveloping the region where the Tree of Life had landed, rippling with energy.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood of the Floragrims was standing outside the glowing green shield, confusion filling his face.

During his battle against Grand Monarch Ash Bone of the Bonedrudes, Grand Monarch Primal Wood had been seriously injured by the Bell of Death. Even his bloodline grade had dropped from the late tenth grade to the middle tenth grade.

After that, he had joined the battle at the Seven Stars Realm Sea and helped the humans attack the outsiders from the Void World and the Spirit World under Dong Li’s command.

However, that battle hadn’t helped him return to the late tenth grade. Right now, he was still at the middle tenth grade.

“I can’t believe that the birthplace of humanity was chosen as its new base,” he muttered in the Floragrims’ language. Not the Silent Star Sea or the Mortal World, but a human territory in the Spirit World?

“How did you get here, Grand Monarch Primal Wood?” Ji Yuanquan asked.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood, who was muttering to himself, snapped out of his thoughts. “Oh, it’s you. How come you’re still in the Realm of Middle Continent? Where’s Nie Tian?”

“His fierce battle against Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory has carried them away from the Realm of Middle Continent. I don’t know where he is exactly.” With these words, Ji Yuanquan stepped forward and prepared to enter the land where the third-generation Tree of Life had taken root.

“Stop!” Grand Monarch Primal Wood called out with a serious expression.

Ji Yuanquan came to an abrupt stop and asked curiously, “What?”

“Our people’s creator has chosen this area as its new home, where it’ll recuperate and gather strength,” Grand Monarch Primal Wood said. “It’s reshaping the area into a place that suits its every need, just like our ancestral land. During this time, I can’t allow anyone to enter without its permission.”

“But the Realm of Middle Continent is the birthplace of my people,” Ji Yuanquan said.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood nodded. “I know. I don’t quite understand its decision either. However, you should know that our creator provided crucial assistance in Nie Tian’s breakthrough to the God domain. And there’s a profound connection between the two of them. Perhaps it’ll invite Nie Tian to meet it in there when he returns.”

After pondering for a while, Ji Yuanquan said, “Umm, alright then.”

“Can you please tell me what changes have happened to this realm recently?” Grand Monarch Primal Wood asked with a sincere tone. “I joined the battle as soon as I got here the last time. I only heard that many uncanny changes were happening to this realm, but I don’t know what they were.”

“A frigid lake appeared by itself, along with an indestructible golden mountain that seemed to be forged out of divine metal,” Ji Yuanquan explained. “And there’s this other place, where violent lightning flashes and devastating thunder rolls all the time. All of them magically appeared recently. Even this area only became filled with rich wood power not long ago.”

“A frigid lake, a metal mountain, a land of lightning and thunder, and an area filled with rich wood power.” Grand Monarch Primal Wood cast his gaze down and drifted away in thought. “These human realms have been controlled by different outsider races for the past hundreds of thousands of years. During this time, none of them, including the Realm of Middle Continent, have shown any miraculous changes. How come changes have started to take place in the Realm of Middle Continent when all of the other realms in the Spirit World are losing their power and withering. What does this mean?

“Does this mean that the humans are going to rise and thrive in the Spirit World?”

Days later, Nie Tian returned like a plummeting meteor, dragging a glorious tail behind him.

As soon as he entered the Realm of Middle Continent, he sensed the presence of Ji Yuanquan, Grand Monarch Primal Wood, and the Tree of Life. Hence, he cast Starshift and arrived in a breath’s time.

“Nie Tian, where are Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory and Grand Monarch Ash Bone?” Grand Monarch Primal Wood asked upon seeing him.

“I joined hands with the five evil gods and killed Grand Monarch Ash Bone in the Demon realms,” Nie Tian said casually. “As for Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory, he fled to Xuan Guangyu’s territory from the Second Demon Realm. If there are no mishaps, he must have hidden his aura and holed up somewhere in the Mortal World.”

Both Ji Yuanquan and Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s expressions flickered with astonishment. “What?!”

Nie Tian, however, didn’t pay attention to their astonishment. Pointing at the green area that was exuding wood power unceasingly, he asked, “What’s going on here? Wasn’t the third-generation Tree of Life in the Floragrims’ ancestral land? Why is it here?”

Grand Monarch Primal Wood smiled bitterly. “I don’t quite understand either.”

“I’ll go ask it.” With these words, Nie Tian entered the area directly.

Even though Grand Monarch Primal Wood had dared to stop Ji Yuanquan from entering without invitation, he didn’t do anything as Nie Tian entered. He simply let him through and didn’t utter a word.

As soon as Nie Tian walked through the green energy shield, he was struck by a feeling that this area had been transformed by the third-generation Tree of Life into a place that was basically identical to the Floragrims’ ancestral land.

The only difference was that pure, rich wood power was rising from this area of the realm spontaneously.

Channeled by the Tree of Life, the wood power morphed into numerous green wisps that disappeared into the giant, heaven-reaching tree.

Nie Tian examined the third-generation Tree of Life with rapt attention, and noticed that it appeared to be growing slowly.

Its fresh and green tree leaves were translucent like jade and sparkling with precious light, giving the tree an exceptionally mysterious look.

“Nie Tian, the energy of the Realm of Middle Continent, the birthplace of your kind, isn’t coming from the starry river.” The Tree of Life’s awareness seemed to fill this mysterious heaven and earth. “The energy is coming from within the realm! And the strange thing is that I can’t reach the depths of the earth with my awareness or power.”

Nie Tian was flabbergasted. “What?! The energy is coming from within the realm? And even you can’t perceive what’s in the depths of the earth?”

In its prime, the Tree of Life had been an existence at the same level as the paragons in the Void World. Even though it had been reborn a few times, it was by no means ordinary.

Now even it was saying that the peculiar changes the Realm of Middle Continent was experiencing originated from the realm itself, and that it couldn’t determine the reason?

“Perhaps you can give it a try and see if you can send your true soul down there with the power of the Spirit Scepter,” the Tree of Life said. “Soul power is a fascinating power that can be both intangible and tangible. I suppose with your soul power and the power of the Spirit Scepter, your perception may actually beat mine.”
