In the blink of an eye, more than a month had gone by.
Among the Nine Superbs, Lin Chen stood outside a canyon, the little fat cat lying on his shoulder, its two eyes staring straight at Nie Tian, as if it was waiting for something.
"Little Fatty, why hasn't Big Brother Nie Tian made a move yet?" Lin Chen looked at Nie Tian, his black gem-like eyes twinkling as he asked with a puzzled expression.
By this point, he had fully absorbed the power of the Demonlotus Heart, opened the Nine Nascent God Seal, and awoke his nascent spirit!
His energy level was many times higher than before, and he was even taller and more muscular than before.
Lin Chen was very worried about Nie Tian, and his little face was scrunched up in anxiety.
"It's been almost forty days," Fat Cat thought, frowning. "Nie Tian absorbed the power of the Demonlotus Ninefold Flames ten days ago. Normally speaking, he should have reached the Paramount God level by now. Why hasn't he done anything yet?"
However, right now, Nie Tian was completely focused on his cultivation, and couldn't afford to be disturbed.
There was nothing Fat Cat could do except wait patiently.
Then, another five days passed.
It had been a full month and a half since Nie Tian had started absorbing the Demonlotus Ninefold Flames.
However, Nie Tian was still sitting there in the valley, as motionless as a block of wood.
His breathing was even and steady, which was the only indication that he was still alive.
"This can't go on. What's going on inside Nie Tian?" Fat Cat was getting impatient, and his deep blue eyes were glittering.
If Nie Tian kept sitting there like this, something really might happen.
Fat Cat really couldn't figure out what was going on inside of Nie Tian that was preventing him from reaching the Paramount God level.
"Xiao Fei, look!" At this moment, Lin Chen suddenly shouted. He seemed to have discovered something and was very excited.
Fat Cat was stunned for a moment. His eyes locked onto Nie Tian, but he didn't find anything. He couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't you see? Big Brother Nie Tian's body is glowing! "Lin Chen's eyes twinkled with joy.
Fat Cat's eyes narrowed as he stared at Nie Tian carefully. Finally, he noticed that there was a faint layer of light circulating around the latter's body.
This layer of light was very weak. It seemed to be tightly attached to Nie Tian's body, almost fusing with his body.
Lin Chen's perception was very strong. This was the innate talent of a martial artist who had nine elements in one. Even the Fat Cat could not compare.
"Lil 'Fatty, what kind of power is this? It's so scary!" Lin Chen couldn't help but ask when he felt the light around Nie Tian.
"It's …." Fat Cat stared blankly for a moment, then realized something, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Xiao Fei, what's wrong?" Lin Chen asked, frowning when he saw Fat Cat suddenly go stiff.
Little Fat Cat didn't seem to hear Lin Chen's words. It shook its head in horror and said, "This is impossible, this is impossible, this is impossible!"
"Xiao Fei, what's wrong? Are you alright? "Lin Chen's small face was filled with fright as he asked anxiously.
"Holy light! That's definitely holy light! How could there be holy light on Nie Tian's body? "Fat Cat stared blankly, as if he had been scared silly.
He was very sure that the layer of light that was surging around Nie Tian at this moment was holy light!
Holy light was the unique light that could only be released when a martial artist became a Sage.
However, Nie Tian was in the middle of breaking through to the Paramount God level. How could he possibly be emanating sagelight?
What was going on inside of him?
Even as Fat Cat was reeling in shock...
Inside the Starry Domain of the Starry River.
Nie Tian's divine sense was still hovering in place, looking up at the starry river above his head. His expression was one of complete astonishment.
His stupefied expression lasted for dozens of seconds before he returned to normal.
At the moment, he was in the eighth layer of the starry river.
In the center of the eighth layer of the starry river stood a giant made of light and shadow.
This giant's body was so huge that it occupied an entire layer of the Milky Way.
Nie Tian couldn't even begin to estimate the size of the giant.
He only knew that he could sense the boundless power of the stars from the glowing giant, as if the glowing giant had gathered the power of eight hundred billion stars into its body.
Nie Tian didn't even know when the giant had appeared in the eighth layer of the starry river.
Back when he had become a God-Lord, he had awakened the power of eight hundred billion stars, but nothing like that had appeared in the eighth layer of the starry river.
"W-who are you?" Nie Tian forced himself to calm down and muster the courage to ask.
He could sense that the giant wasn't lifeless, but rather, had its own consciousness.
"I've been waiting for you for nearly a million years, kid," the giant said. His voice rumbled like thunder, as if it came from the very fabric of space itself, and caused the entire region of the starry river to tremble violently.
"Y-you're...." Nie Tian's eyes flickered as a name occurred to him. "You're the Starry Sky Paragon Sage!"
Nie Tian had heard of the Starry Sky Paragon Sage before.
Back when he was cultivating the Starry Sky Ancient Martial Technique, he had heard a voice in the region of the starry river telling him that the Starry Sky Ancient Martial Technique was created by the Starry Sky Paragon Sage.
Nie Tian still remembered the name. He speculated that the Starry Sky Paragon Sage was the creator of the Origin Star Stones, or the previous owner of the Origin Star Stones.
Now that he had encountered a giant made of light with its own consciousness in the region of the starry river, he naturally thought of the Starry Sky Paragon Sage.
"Starry Sky Paragon Sage." The giant smiled when he heard the name. He didn't nod or shake his head. Instead, he said, "Kid, are you ready?"
"Ready? Ready for what? "Nie Tian was stunned. He couldn't help but frown. He had no idea what the giant was talking about.
"Ready to withstand the soul of a Saint!" The giant laughed. Then, his body shuddered and instantly turned into boundless starlight that surged toward Nie Tian.
Before Nie Tian could react, he was enveloped by the boundless starlight.
In the next moment, he felt as if he had become a bottomless pit that was absorbing the starlight. The starlight around him kept surging into his body.
"What, what's going on?" Nie Tian screamed. He felt as if his body didn't belong to him anymore. He couldn't even feel his own existence.
"Kid, this Saint's Soul is a great gift. Make good use of it." At that moment, the voice of the giant was heard before it dissipated into the void.
At the same time, Fat Cat and Lin Chen who were outside the canyon were completely stunned.
