Spirit regions are special regions scattered among the different constellations, named so because of the uncountable number of ancient martial spirit pieces there. They did not belong to any constellation as they were scattered between different constellations, connected to the constellations or stars via the Starry Door.

If the Heaven’s Road was like an ocean, the constellations would be large pieces of land, while the spirit regions would be grey little islands scattered between the constellations, and there were more than one spirit region. Unless two spirit regions are connected via the Starry Door, if not, these two spirit regions cannot have a mutually beneficial cooperation.

Due to the existence of numerous ancient martial spirit pieces, it was a haven for Star Spirit Beasts. The Beasts that lived there were much stronger than normal Beasts. After ingesting the ancient martial spirit pieces, they will usually evolve. These strong Star Spirit Beasts dominated the region, and became the main hindrance for humanity’s progression. Some of these strong Star Spirit Beasts were shunned, even by the experts on the Heaven Road List.

And because of this, other than a few small spirit regions, most of them were largely unexplored. The places where humans resided were largely developed near the Starry Door. Even so, the entire process was filled with numerous sacrifices.

No one knew why the spirit regions had so many ancient martial spirit pieces.

Could it be that before history was recorded, there was still an unknown period of glory?

No one knew, but this did not affect the value of the spirit regions. The number of Starry Doors in the spirit regions were far more than in normal stars, thus many spirit regions became the hub of a few constellations.

Besides, in the spirit regions, the power of the martial spirit could be explored further. This was the haven of martial spirits. Just like how the Stars were nourished for millions of years by the massive numbers of ancient martial spirit pieces, the spirit regions similarly had a strong affinity for the martial spirits.

Tang Tian’s silver martial spirit, was usually like a small flame, but in here, it was like a raging bonfire.

A straight fiery line was pulled from the silver bonfire, with the other end connected to Thundersnow.

Thundersnow’s martial spirit was the size of a flame, and it emitted a weak light green glow enveloped within the silver flames. The weakness of ThunderSnow’s martial spirit was instantly plain to see, even in the spirit region, its martial spirit was still tiny.

The moment both came into contact, ThunderSnow’s martial spirit kept shrinking till it was the size of a green bean, and the flame became green in colour as well. The green colour illustrated that it was a martial spirit of Wooden affinity.

However, this was far too small… …

Tang Tian hesitated before deciding to take out a level five wooden affinity spirit nucleus from the silver aquarius cabinet, and he crushed it. A wisp of green smoke flew out from the spirit nucleus and entered ThunderSnows martial spirit. The green flame that was the size of a green bean suddenly grew to the size of a basin.

However, the silver flame that enveloped it continued to burn, and it shrank once again.

Thundersnow’s martial spirit became the size of a flame once again. However, this time, ThunderSnows martial spirit was already completely different. Previously the flame was so weak that it seemed like it would extinguish at any moment, but the green flame now was emerald-green and strong.

The edges of the emerald-green spirit flame, had a new trace of silver.

Cultivating was a slow process. Tang Tian’s mind twitched, and he retracted the silver flame. He could feel that ThunderSnows martial spirit has reached its limit. If he forcefully continue to cultivate, it would shatter completely as Tang Tian’s silver level silver flame was far higher than its level.

Even though it was just an additional trace of silver on the edge of the martial spirit, Thundersnow already had a new indescribable aura.

Previously, ThunderSnow was out of shape and weak, and this was also the reason why Bing felt that it was unsuitable to become a mechanical weapon martial spirit. But the Thundersnow now was more composed. Although uncomparable to Tiger, it was no longer weak and in the collapsible shape it used to be.

Tang Tian could sense that the thoughts coming from ThunderSnow were filled with happiness, and also seemingly had another slight change that he did not understand.

Tang Tian could not help but break into a smile as well. After continuous battles alongside him, ThunderSnow was like his comrade. Tang Tian was extremely happy for it to be able to grow stronger as well.

The strengthened Thundersnow needed to re-accustom itself, but the time needed was very short.

Tang Tian did not disturb ThunderSnow for the cultivation earlier gave him great inspirations. He realized that in the spirit region, cultivation of martial spirits seemed to be much easier. With a twitch of his mind, he took out his Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe.

These furry paw-shaped gloves, if one was not attentive, one would not realize the claw blades hidden within. The inner-curved claw edges had light traces of blood.

Quality-wise, the Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe was the highest quality Star Treasure that he had on hand, even better than the Blue Peacock. The Blue Peacock was an armor, while the Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe was a weapon, but they were still of the same level. Both were also silver level Treasures of the same standard.

The difference lay in the Constellations that they belonged to.

The Blue Peacock was a Treasure of the Pavo Constellation, one of the Southern Sky’s 42 Constellations, while the Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe belonged to the Lynx Constellation, one of Northern Sky’s 19 Continents.

This was also where the Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe had a winning edge, but in real life battles, the Blue Peacock was actually much easier to use than the Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe. Because the martial spirit of the Blue Peacock had been repeatedly cultivated by Tang Tian and had evolved into the silver level. The Blue Peacock had telepathy with Tang Tian, and had better partnership, which led to better effects during battles.

Comparatively, the Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe lacked cultivation from Tang Tian.

In the last battle with Five Hitmen Squad, the Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe came into good play. [Cat Demonic Sobs] aided him in breaking through King Qilin’s [Ignited Colloquial Buddha]. Tang Tian then realized that he had always underestimated this Treasure. To be known as a weapon, it must be the most famed exquisite Treasure of the Constellation.

Since this place was suitable for cultivation of martial spirits, he should grab the chance to cultivate the Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe as well.

Tang Tian’s spirit flame started to communicate with the martial spirit of the Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe.

Tang Tian only felt that his sight suddenly greyed out. In the uncertain areas of grey before him, a cat that evolved from a flame stared coldly at him. Its body was composed of light silver rays, the features were blurry except for the pair of blood red cat pupils. It made Tang Tian’s heart skip a beat.

Tang Tian calmed himself down, and according to the secret methods of the Honorable Martial Group, he catalysed his martial spirit silver flame. A ray of silver flame flew straight towards the bloodshot-eyed cat.

The bloody spark in the cat’s eyes flashed and disappeared. Instead of avoiding, it stood there silently while Tang Tian’s martial spirit’s silver flame enveloped its body. The hostility in its bloodshot eyes reduced significantly. It meowed and actually sprawled on the floor, allowing the silver flame to envelope its body.

Tang Tian’s martial spirit silver flame was pure and more solid, thus from afar, it seemed like a two-layered flame of different densities.

Suddenly, Tang Tian’s heart shuddered involuntarily.

He felt that his martial spirit silver flame was disappearing at an alarming rate. When he finally reacted, the silver flame which was initially like a bonfire had now shrunk to almost half its size. On the other hand, the fiery eyed cat was emitting a prickly silver glow from its entire body.

It sprawled there, as though it had fallen asleep.

Tang Tian retreated from the Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe. He lowered his head to look at the Scythe in his hands. The claws of the Scythe had become silvery and bright, as though it could mirror a reflection, and the blood traces on the claws had turned bright red from the previous faint red. What was most unbelievable was that the bright red blood traces were not fixed and still, but were slowly flowing.

The Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe powers seemed to have raised tremendously.

However, Tang Tian was not in the least bit happy.

The shrinking of his martial spirit would cause his intuition to plunge rapidly. This had a large influence on his battle power.

What made Tang Tian feel worse was that he did not even know how to replenish his martial spirit. Tang Tian’s martial spirit’s spirit flame was ignited back at the battle with the Green Sandal-Arm Ape. It was floating below the dantian back then. And the time back at the Energy Crevice, due to the continuous cultivation of training spirit flames by the Training Spirit Device, Tang Tian’s martial spirit rapidly advanced to the silver level, and the martial spirit shifted up to above the dantian.

However, regarding martial spirits, Tang Tian actually knew nothing about them. How were they formed? And how did it raise to the silver level? He was completely clueless about the usual use of them. He only knew how to use the spirit flame to cultivate the martial spirits in the Star Treasures.

With the silver martial spirit far exceeding his current abilities, usually he could not exhaust it, but today, he actually exhausted almost half of it!

This stupid claw!

Tang Tian was at his wit’s end. If he knew such a situation would occur, he would never have tried cultivating this Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe. When he cultivated the Blue Peacock, or even when he cultivated Thundersnow just now, this situation never occurred before.

How can he replenish the martial spirit?

Bing was not in the least bothered as the cultivation of martial spirits, to him, was something for the far future.

Tang Tian’s face became sombre. He could distinctly feel, with the shrinking of his martial spirit, his battle powers were all dropping.

Damn!

How could he have created such a blunder at such a crucial moment!

And what made Tang Tian even sadder, was that Bing was not around.

Suddenly, an idea popped out in his mind. He recalled that he used the spirit nucleus when he replenished ThunderSnow’s martial spirit just now, so for replenishing his own martial spirit, would the spirit nucleus work as well?

This brainwave made Tang Tian’s heart skipped a beat. After a moment’s hesitation, he decided to give it a try.

He found a level six spirit nucleus from the silver aquarius cabinet. This spirit nucleus had no elemental attributes like Tang Tian’s own martial spirit.

He crossed his legs and sat properly, holding the spirit nucleus in one hand.

He carefully controlled his spirit flame using his thoughts, and then crushed the spirit nucleus in his hands.

The smoke from the crushed level six spirit nucleus was much more condensed than the level five spirit nucleus. The long ready spirit flame of Tang Tian hurriedly evolved into a fiery palm and grabbed hold onto this smoke.

Tang Tian’s body shook, and a cruel thought suddenly barged into his heart.

Tang Tian knew that this was thought left behind by the owner of the spirit nucleus.

Tang Tian’s spirit flame seemed to be agitated. The flame raged, instantly ingesting this spirit smoke along with its thoughts. The silver flame was extremely aggressive. With a breath, the remaining thoughts were completely cultivated by the silver flame, and were instantly reduced to nothing before it could even wail.

After losing the control of this thought, the spirit smoke was no longer obstructed, and dissolved into the silver flame.

The silver flame boomed, and recovered significantly.

Tang Tian’s face revealed a look of happiness. His method had proved to be effective, does it not mean that he has found a way to rapidly strengthen his martial spirit?

At the thought of it, Tang Tian got to work immediately, and Tang Tian realized, that the silver flame was extremely aggressive, even those spirit nucleus of elemental affinity were all ingested. After depositing six spirit nucleus, his martial spirit even became almost twice as strong as before.

Tang Tian’s spirit nuclei were already half exhausted.

Tang Tian stood up. There was coincidentally a mirror before him, and he suddenly froze.

The lad in the mirror, deep within his black pupils, a silver ray the size of the tip of a needle suddenly appeared. Just like a star that lit up the dark night sky, but the coldness of this silver made the childish-looking face unwittingly more indifferent and cold.
