Chapter 1072: Shocking Discovery (2/2)

“Only the eighth grade?!” Nie Tian cheered.

He suddenly saw a huge opportunity, which might allow him to take over all of Mou Luo’s domains.

“There are portals in those Demon realms that connect to the outside world, right?” Nie Tian asked.

Zhao Shanling nodded. “Of course there are. However, they’re fairly easy to destroy. I can even destroy them myself. It’s just that it might take me a long time to get them all. But things will improve significantly if Pei Qiqi agrees to help me with that spatial treasure of hers.”

A thoughtful expression appeared on Nie Tian’s face. “Senior martial sister...”

Zhao Shanling frowned and said, “But what surprises me is that even the mighty sectmasters and elders of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace don’t know that those spatial rifts can take them to the Demon realms. Secret passages exist in those spatial rifts, which I suppose were left there intentionally by someone.”

A surprised expression appeared on Nie Tian’s face. “Secret passages?”

Zhao Shanling nodded. “Yeah, only by going through them can we guarantee our safety and enter the Demon realms unharmed. If we don’t enter through them, it’ll be far too dangerous for us humans. I suspect that it was the same person who sealed and made those spatial rifts one-way who left those secret passages.”

These words instantly reminded Nie Tian of his father, whom he had never met.

The Heaven Gates in the Domain of the Falling Stars... He must have been here before.

“Was it really him who sealed those three spatial rifts and left those secret passages? If it was, doesn’t it mean that he can travel between human and outsider heaven and earth freely?” Questions exploded in Nie Tian’s mind.

He started to have a feeling that all of the secrets of the Domain of the Falling Stars had something to do with his father.

Eyes narrowed, Nie Tian analyzed inwardly, “Elder Yan Zhan from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace once conducted a thorough search of the Domain of the Falling Stars in order to check my background. Perhaps he examined those spatial rifts as well, but found them no different from any other sealed spatial rifts that connect human and outsider heaven and earth.

“He probably didn’t enter and examine them from the inside. Or perhaps since he wasn’t an expert of spatial power, even if he had entered them, he wouldn’t have been able to discover the secret passages.

“Countless powerful human experts have entered these kinds of spatial rifts or portals since ancient times. However, most of them either died during the teleportation or never returned from the outsider heaven and earth. I doubt that it would intrigue Yan Zhan even if he heard the rumor that some in the Domain of the Falling Stars have been to the outsider heaven and earth.

“Not to mention, very few know that Uncle Hua made it back from that Demon heaven and earth alive...”

“Who else knows about this?” Nie Tian asked.

“You’re the only one I’ve told so far,” Zhao Shanling said. “After all, the Domain of the Falling Stars is your personal property now.”

“Okay, don’t tell anyone else about it for the time being. I need to think things over.” Nie Tian said.

Zhao Shanling chuckled. “Sure, I won’t. I’ll stay in the Domain of the Falling Stars for now. If you decide to enter those Demon realms, spread the word, and I’ll show up. There are eighth grade Demons in those realms that could pose a threat to me, so I had scruples when I went there. But things will be different if you and your subordinates are to go with me.

“Also, I’ve just returned, and need to spend some time recuperating. Hopefully, I’ll find an opportunity to make another breakthrough in my cultivation.”

Nie Tian was taken aback. “Another breakthrough? Are you saying that you’re ready to break through into the late Void domain already? What allowed you to progress so fast?”

“What do you think I’ve been doing all these years?” Zhao Shanling asked arrogantly. “You’ve entered the Soul realm already. Do you expect me to make no headway?”

Nie Tian sighed. “You sure are full of surprises...”

Compared to breaking through from the Profound realm into the Soul realm, breaking through from the early Void domain into the middle Void domain would usually take much more time and accumulation.

Who would have thought not only had this man broken though into the middle Void domain within a short period of time, but he was already seeking his next breakthrough in cultivation?

As far as Nie Tian knew, let alone the experts in the Domain of the Falling Stars, even the Void domain disciples of the four great sects couldn’t match the speed at which Zhao Shanling made progress in cultivation.

Zhao Shanling vanished into thin air.

Instead of leaving right away, Nie Tian instructed Dong Li to spread word to the Saint and Void domain experts from the Domain of Heaven Python and the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries to refrain from entering secluded cultivation for the moment.

At the same time, he himself teleported to the meteor in the open starry river, where he had kept the Star Behemoth bone, through the teleportation portals set up by the Lei Clan.

Upon arriving, he took the Star Behemoth bone from within his ring of holding, letting it absorb energies from the starry river on its own.

Meanwhile, standing on the meteor, he sensed with great clarity that wisps of flame power, wood power, and star power were being channeled by his flame spark, Godspirit Tree sapling, and the Nine Stars Flower.

He sat down and focused on channeling flesh power from the eighth and ninth grade outsider corpses Hou Chulan had given him.

Two weeks passed...

He finished refining the flesh power he absorbed from the outsider corpses Hou Chulan had given him.

However, the green aura in his heart was still yearning for more.

It was just that when he examined it with rapt attention, he discovered that its desire for flesh power had grown weaker than before. Such a discovery lifted his spirits. “From the look of it, it won’t take much more flesh power to satisfy its appetite! Once its satisfied, it’ll fall dormant, and prepare for its breakthrough into the eighth grade!”

After spending tremendous time and energy accumulating flesh power, he finally saw a silver lining.

“I’ve got to talk to senior martial sister Pei first. She’s the key to whether I’ll enter the Demons’ homeland.”
