Chapter 410: The Realm of Dark Underworld

After Dong Baijie left, Nie Tian stayed up all night.

He gulped down more of the hard alcohol Dong Baijie had left for him. However, the more he drank, the more clear-headed he felt, and all he could think of was what Dong Baijie had said to him.

He had never expected that Dong Baijie would go to such lengths to find the truth. He had even visited Black Cloud City in the Realm of Flame Heaven just to run a thorough investigation on his background.

According to Dong Baijie’s speculation, his father. who he had never met. was probably the reason why he was so special.

The fact that he possessed bloodline power, had been able to refine a fragmentary star mark, and the other incredible things about him all had something to do with his father.

It had been thousands of years since all connections between the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and the Domain of the Falling Stars had been cut off. Not a single member of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had come to the Domain of the Falling Stars during this period of time.

Even though Heaven Gates had appeared twice, no one had been able to refine the legacies they had obtained from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

He was the only one.

Then, where was his father from? And who was he?

Did he have some kind of connection with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace?

Questions exploded in his head, making him anxious and unable to go back to his cultivation.

He sat out the whole night, but still failed to clear his thoughts. Rather, he ended up even more frustrated and perplexed.

Eventually, he came to the conclusion that only when his cultivation base rose to a certain stage, and he could travel outside of the Domain of the Falling Stars, would he be able to find the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and solve the mysteries in his heart.

“Dong Baijie...” This unbridled and outstanding man from the Dong Clan was one of the few people who he believed possessed true wisdom.

He was able to gather and sort through the most insignificant details and information, and derive many critical conclusions from them.

Dong Baijie was only about ten years older than him, yet he was so mature and wise, which was very admirable.

Before, he had thought that the cunning and cruel Dong Li was the most hard-to-deal-with person in the Dong Clan.

But after having an extended conversation with him, Nie Tian now realized that Dong Li had nothing but tricks, while Dong Baijie was the truly wise one.

Caught up in his thoughts, Nie Tian lost track of time. Only when Han Mu came did he realize that it was already time to leave.

He followed Han Mu to the Dong Clan’s hidden, inter-realm teleportation portal, where Dong Li, her clan uncle Dong Mingxuan, and six other Greater Heaven stage Dong Clan members were already waiting.

The middle Worldly realm Dong Mingxuan took a deep look at Nie Tian, and nodded so briefly that it was almost imperceptible.

As Nie Tian came closer, he realized that he had met some of the Greater Heaven stage members standing beside Dong Li in the Realm of Split Void.

It was just that. because he had assumed a different appearance, they didn’t recognize him.

“His name is Wu Tian, a subordinate of mine.” Dong Li introduced him to everyone else. Those people muddled through greeting him. Indifference and slight disdain could be seen in their eyes.

Aside from Dong Mingxuan, all the other Dong Clan members were at the Greater Heaven stage.

Nie Tian was the only one at the late Heaven stage. They saw through that the moment he arrived.

Therefore, it was natural that these Greater Heaven stage Qi warriors, who had joined the exploration team to play up to Dong Li, made light of Nie Tian for his insignificant cultivation base.

Especially when they had been waiting for him for quite a while.

“Let’s go.” Dong Li didn’t say more than what was necessary. The moment she saw Nie Tian and Han Mu, she ordered everyone to step into the teleportation portal.

After everyone was in, intense spatial energy fluctuations filled the portal. In the blink of an eye, Nie Tian and the Dong Clan members vanished.

In the next moment, Nie Tian found himself standing under a gray, misty sky along with Dong Li and the others.

Everyone clamored as soon as they saw Dong Li. They either blamed her in playful ways, or were secretly discontent with her unpunctuality.

“Dong Li is here!”

“You drag your heels every time we go on a trip. You’re the last one to get here again this time.”
