Chapter 918: Secret Investigation (2/2)

Moments later, a soul shadow was separated from his sea of awareness and rose from the top of his head.

It flew through the spell formation that enveloped the palace without meeting any resistance, and floated just outside. Then, like an invisible and undetectable spirit, it examined the teleportation portal that led to the Realm of Maelstrom, along with the numerous experts from all over the Domain of the Falling Stars who were guarding it.

None of the experts, including Qi Bailu and Zong Zheng, felt its existence, or sensed his soul aura in the slightest.

After spending a while listening to the conversations between Qi Bailu and the other experts about the Domain of the Falling Stars and the Domain of Heaven Python, Yan Zhan’s soul shadow followed Chang Sen and a few others into the teleportation portal, and teleported to the Realm of Flame Heaven.

It soon flew to the Nie Clan, and came to a stop over the place where Nie Tian had been born.

Yan Zhan’s soul shadow secretly read every memory the Nie Clan members had of Nie Tian while they were fast asleep.

Afterwards, it flew to the Cloudsoaring Sect, the Spiritual Treasure Sect, the Blood Sect, and every other place that Nie Tian had been to, where it read people’s memories of Nie Tian.

Yan Zhan didn’t alarm a single person. No one knew that his soul shadow had already traveled to the Realm of Flame Heaven and learned everything that everyone knew about Nie Tian.

“So his mother is a local human Qi warrior in the Domain of the Falling Stars. There’s nothing special about her.

“His special bloodline must have come from his father.

“But the strange thing is that not a single member of the Nie Clan or anyone else in the Realm of Flame Heaven seems to have any memories of him. They only know that he existed, but none of them have ever seen him.

“He was definitely here, yet he didn’t leave any traces behind.

“Also, Nie Tian’s mother’s grave is empty. In the Nie Clan members’ memories, they had definitely buried his mother, so why is there not a skeleton in that grave?

“I’m afraid there’s something very special about Nie Tian’s father. We’ve got to find out more about him in order to figure out the origin of his bloodline.”

While Yan Zhan’s true form remained hidden at the heart of the palace in the Realm of Split Void, a wisp of his soul was able to separate itself from his sea of awareness and travel around independently for a long time.

Even though his soul shadow traveled across the Realm of Flame Heaven, the Realm of Split Void, the Realm of Mystic Heaven, and other realms Nie Tian had been to, and tried to learn everything about Nie Tian through the people who knew him, he failed to find any information about his father.

However, he discovered a shocking fact while investigating Nie Tian.

“Nie Tian’s master, Wu Ji, practices time power, and he’s currently in the Shatter Battlefield, deriving enlightenment from that mysterious river of time.

“Time power is probably the most profound power in this universe. All of the records we have of it in the Records Pavilion are descriptions of its wonders, not how to practice it.

“How to practice time power has always been a mystery. Our sect hasn’t even mastered the basics.

“But that Wu Ji is already an expert in time power magics.

“Aside from that, the Yin Sect and the Yang Sect practice the same incantations as those of the Grand Sun Palace and the Chilly Moon Palace. Both of their sectmasters have extraordinary cultivation talent and great potential.

“And about the mysterious Void Palace Sect... a large number of Void Palace Sect disciples, who practice spatial magics, left for an unidentified realm, and never showed up again.

“Who would have thought the Domain of the Falling Stars, which has been forgotten for so long, would actually hold so many surprising secrets?”

Yan Zhan gradually grew more and more interested in the Domain of the Falling Stars, and thus decided to spend more time traveling through its realms.

There were scrolls in the Records Pavilion that were about the Domain of the Falling Stars. However, since it was in a remote corner, it had been forgotten for who knew how long.

Even Yan Zhan only vaguely knew that it existed, and that it had been included in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s map by powerful experts from their first generation.

Those experts had long since perished and been buried in endless time. Now, even experts like Yan Zhan didn’t know why they had planted a Heaven Gate in the Domain of the Falling Stars, which was such an insignificant place.

“Don’t tell me that there are more secrets of the Domain of the Falling Stars that we have yet to discover.” The more Yan Zhan learned, the more curious he became.
