"Such a miraculous thing indeed, it seems heaven assists me."
A hint of pleasant surprise flickered in Li Qi's eyes.
Just moments ago, he was troubled, pondering how to accelerate the strengthening of his Heavenly Dao Will.
Now, he had stumbled upon such news.
Furthermore, as the second Natal Spirit Puppet had informed him, the distorted space in the meteor belt at the edge of the Nihility Black Market where Fengyu Domain was located had persisted for quite some time.
Small stones like these, containing special energy, would occasionally drift out from the center of the distorted space.
A sustainable resource?
This was far more useful than directly harvesting Heavenly Dao Will.
However, Li Qi's brow furrowed slightly.
According to the information, the meteor belt at the edge of Fengyu Domain's Nihility Black Market was no longer a secret.
With such an opportunity arising, it seemed many powerful cultivators from nearby Nihility Black Markets had already flocked there.
While each single small stone containing special energy had some effect, its impact was not significant.
But to contend for a sufficient quantity of these small stones, it seemed... not to be a simple matter.
"Forget it, there's no time to lose, I should go and see the situation first."
With a thought, Li Qi felt a surge of impatience.
He looked at the second Natal Spirit Puppet by his side.
Besides the second Natal Spirit Puppet, the third Natal Spirit Puppet was actually in a standby state, not yet generated by Li Qi.
Under normal circumstances, if there was nothing important, Li Qi would naturally choose to have the second Natal Spirit Puppet return directly to the Nihility Black Market.
But this time, upon learning of the existence of these special small stones that could help strengthen Heavenly Dao Will.
Li Qi did not do so.
It was likely that many cultivators in the Tribulation Passing stage were waiting at the meteor belt at the edge of Fengyu Domain's Nihility Black Market to snatch these special small stones.
Now, his Natal Spirit Puppet had already reached the first level of the Tribulation Passing stage. With its full power unleashed, it could even rival those in the fifth or sixth level of Tribulation Passing.
Even if it was a one-time boost.
But at a critical moment, it might play a decisive role in helping him obtain more of these special small stones.
With a thought, the second Natal Spirit Puppet before Li Qi gradually dissipated.
He would let it rest with the third Natal Spirit Puppet for a while, and regenerate them upon reaching their destination.
His gaze once again turned to the Heavenly Dao of Dixu in the sky, which was looking at him with expectant eyes.
"Stay put here, I'm going out to get you some of that delicious food."
"Yay!"
✿✿ヽ(°▽°)ノ✿
As the Heavenly Dao of Dixu conveyed its joyful will to Li Qi, Li Qi's figure had already disappeared into the Heavenly Dao space, heading towards Fengyu Domain.
...
The Land of Nihility was vast.
Essentially, near many chaotic regions and planes separated by immense distances, there existed Nihility Black Markets.
However, the branches of the Nihility Black Markets were not fixed like train stations, one after another.
The distribution of Nihility Black Markets was extremely irregular, more akin to randomly appearing islands in the ocean.
The Nihility Black Market where Fengyu Domain was located, and the Nihility Black Market where Yinzong Domain was located, were not too far apart, but not too close either.
Between them, there were four or five other Nihility Black Markets scattered in a meandering fashion.
For cultivators with lower realms, traveling this distance would likely take an immeasurable amount of time.
Not to mention man-made disasters, the natural calamities that could occur over such a long distance were countless.
After all, although the Land of Nihility appeared desolate and calm, it was not without some regions with peculiar spatial anomalies, much like the small stones that appeared outside Fengyu Domain this time, which aided in strengthening Heavenly Dao Will.
It was just that this particular peculiar spatial region was a positive assistance to the Plane Lords, rather than a dreaded dangerous place.
Then, on a certain day, a dust-covered figure stepped into the Nihility Black Market of Fengyu Domain.
As his gaze swept across the Nihility Black Market, Li Qi's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
"Hiss, so many people."
The Nihility Black Market in Fengyu Domain was similar in size to their Yinzong Domain's Nihility Black Market, fundamentally alike.
But in a Nihility Black Market of similar size, the number of cultivators in Fengyu Domain was simply too overwhelming.
To exaggerate, the cultivators currently present in Fengyu Domain's Nihility Black Market were almost filling the entire market.
And among these cultivators, there were no shortage of powerful individuals, those in the seventh, eighth, ninth, or even peak stages of the Harmony Dao realm.
Li Qi's eyes flickered as he looked towards a few relatively spacious special areas within this Nihility Black Market. From those directions, Li Qi could clearly sense the aura of several cultivators in the Tribulation Passing stage.
"No way? Is the prosperity between two Nihility Black Markets that different? Could it be that my Nihility Black Market is truly that bad?"
Li Qi muttered to himself.
But soon, as Li Qi stepped into the Nihility Black Market, his ears twitched as he overheard the casual chatter of nearby cultivators. Someone was asking with a hint of confusion:
"Why have so many cultivators been coming to our Nihility Black Market lately? Is there going to be a grand event in our Nihility Black Market?"
"Daoist Friend Zhang, you haven't been to the Nihility Black Market recently. Don't you know that a special distorted space has suddenly appeared next to our Nihility Black Market? From that distorted space, something called Dao Fall Fragments occasionally scatters. That thing can rapidly enhance the strength of Heavenly Dao Will. Many powerful cultivators from surrounding Nihility Black Markets have heard this news and have come."
"Hiss, such a miraculous item. Even though we are not Plane Lords, if we can obtain some and sell them, we might be able to fetch a good price. But it's no wonder. I was wondering why there were so many unfamiliar powerful cultivators in our Nihility Black Market. It seems we need to keep a low profile lately, to avoid suffering unintended disaster."
"Indeed. I heard that a few days ago, several cultivators in the Tribulation Passing stage descended upon our Nihility Black Market. Tribulation Passing stage! In our entire Fengyu Domain, there are only three in total!"
"Hiss! Terrifying!"
Hearing the conversation of the nearby cultivators, Li Qi slowly shifted his gaze and noticed that on the faces of several clearly familiar cultivators, a look of vigilance and caution suddenly appeared.
He retracted his gaze, and Li Qi's brow furrowed as he murmured softly.
"Dao Fall Fragments? That must be referring to those small stones, right? But as expected, many powerful cultivators from the surrounding Nihility Black Markets have already arrived. I wonder if I'm too late now."
