Chapter 485: Joining Hands

Wu Ling observed Nie Tian for a while longer as he continued to search in his head. However, since he couldn’t locate any memory about Mu Han, he could only give up.

Over the following two days, Nie Tian stayed quietly with the Tool Sect juniors and practiced cultivation with fire-attributed materials whenever he could.

After observing and listening for two days, he had learned that the spatial rift wasn’t quite stable yet.

If they forcibly entered the spatial rift before it stabilized completely, they would be most likely be carried to some isolated space mix-up zone by the intense and disorderly spatial energy turbulence.

According to the information the Tool Sect had obtained, many of the people who had entered the six spatial rifts as soon as they had appeared had been sent to unknown places, their survival uncertain.

As time passed, the six spatial rifts were gradually becoming more and more stable.

Every now and then, Zhen Huilan would unleash a wisp of her soul awareness to examine the spatial rift. Today, she told everyone that the spatial rift would be fully stable in about ten days. There should be no mishaps if they entered then.

Hence, everyone waited.

During that time, Pei Qiqi observed the spatial rift day and night, trying to derive enlightenment from it with her unique methods.

At first, Nie Tian had spent most of his time practicing cultivation, turning a blind eye to the remains of the spirit beasts.

Just like Pei Qiqi, he wasn’t interested in communicating with the Tool Sect juniors.

Meanwhile, Zhu Han, who had originally harbored the intention of playing up to Pei Qiqi, dropped the idea after encountering that setback.

Another day went by, and Nie Tian finally failed to resist the temptation and rose to his feet when everyone else was practicing cultivation. He stepped over to the remains of the spirit beasts and stored the pieces of discarded meat into his ring of holding.

His action soon caught the attention of Bai Yu, Zhu Lian, and the other Tool Sect experts. However, they only shot him a brief glance and didn’t say anything.

The dozen spirit beasts had laid under the blazing sun for days. The only ones that remained unspoiled were the few fourth grade and fifth grade spirit beasts.

After storing them into his ring of holding, Nie Tian quietly returned to Pei Qiqi’s side.

As soon as he sat down, Huang Yuan asked with a sweet smile, “What do you plan to do with all that spirit beast meat, Big Brother Mu Han?”

Nie Tian, who had already had an excuse prepared, answered with a casual tone, “I’m raising a few spirit beasts back home. I just wanna take the meat back and see if I can feed them with it.”

Huang Yuan didn’t know that he was actually lying, and thus said with a serious face, “They probably won’t eat it. I’ve heard that these spirit beasts were poisoned by the atmosphere in the Realm of Split Void. Not only can we not eat them, but neither can spirit beasts from the other realms.”

Smiling, Nie Tian explained, “The spirit beasts I’m raising at home are special. Perhaps they will eat it. I’ll have to try to see.”

“Oh, really? Where are you from, big brother?” Huang Yuan asked, curious.

“The Realm of Flame Heaven,” Nie Tian answered.

Huang Yuan’s eyebrows furrowed. “The Realm of Flame Heaven... That’s the only realm I haven’t been to. I heard that there aren’t any powerful sects or Soul realm experts in that realm. Also, it’s said that a few other realms are planning to seize the Realm of Flame Heaven for their own.”

At that moment, Zhu Han jumped in and said, his face filled with disdain, “Hahaha! I wondered which powerful realm you’re from. Who would have thought that you’re from the Realm of Flame Heaven? That place is...” He clicked his tongue as he looked at Nie Tian, contempt filling his eyes.

Without waiting for him to finish, Nie Tian withdrew from the conversation. Without saying a word, he took out another Flame Crystal, closed his eyes, and started practicing cultivation.

Soon, the day passed, and night descended.

Nie Tian suddenly awoke from his cultivation.

SHEW!

A man flashed into appearance and floated by the spatial rift, which was right above the dense forest.

Zhen Huilan, Bai Yu, and Zhu Lian had all been practicing cultivation.

The sudden arrival of that man instantly caught their attention.

Nie Tian and the other juniors also turned to see who it was, their expressions grim and nervous.

It was a tall, thin man, dressed in the garments of the Spirit God Sect from the Realm of Dark Underworld. He had a set of deep and unfathomable eyes.

“Master Zhen...” The man said, staring down at Zhen Huilan, as if he was surprised that she was here.
