Chapter 1148: A Future Calamity (1/2)

After a moment of pondering, Wu Ji took his time to say, “I don’t know what I want yet, but I hope your sect will return the favor when I’m in need. For example, help me find the materials I need.”

Wei Lai and Yan Zhan exchanged a glance with the other elders.

Dou Tianchen, Wang Meijia, and Fang Yuan also looked at each other. They pondered in silence for a few seconds, then nodded at Wu Ji.

Seeing this, the elders nodded as well.

“Deal,” Wei Lai said the word.

From what he could tell, a friendly relationship between the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and Wu Ji would be helpful to them.

Wu Ji was Nie Tian’s master, and an expert in time power. Having a good relationship with him could only benefit the sect.

Besides, Wu Ji didn’t have any powerful enemies in the Domain of the Falling Stars. It didn’t matter from which point of view they considered this, they felt it would be rewarding, and even necessary, to maintain a close relationship with him.

Not to mention that Nie Tian might very well become the next Lord of the Stars.

“I’ll have to return to the river of time if I want to peek into the future,” Wu Ji said.

At this moment, Qi Lianshan from the Void Spirit Society, who was at the middle Saint domain and well-versed in spatial power, stepped forward and asked, “May I ask where that mysterious river is?”

Wu Ji briefly explained the location to him.

Eyes narrowed, Qi Lianshan pondered briefly, then nodded. “I can take you there right now.”

“That’d be good,” Wu Ji said without hesitation. “Nie Tian will come with me.”

“Okay!” Qi Lianshan said, flying towards the mountaintop. As he did, he summoned spatial power and split open a slender rift in the air with a silver sword.

Wu Ji shot a glance at Nie Tian.

Nie Tian chuckled softly and flew into it without the slightest hesitation.

Wu Ji and Qi Lianshan followed along.

As curious as the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace elders and Sons of the Stars were, since they weren’t invited, they had to stay back and wait. The same went for the experts from the other sects.

...

In a secluded corner of the Shatter Battlefield.

The sky was originally misty, gray, and empty.

After Wu Ji arrived with Nie Tian and Qi Lianshan, bits of glorious light gradually appeared in the depths of the grayish-brown heavens.

Before long, a glorious river of light revealed itself, looming in the heavens.

Bright lights flashed past in the long, winding river from time to time, as if they recorded pieces of lost history and scenes that had happened in the past.

Standing underneath the river, both Qi Lianshan and Nie Tian were hit by a peculiar feeling that they were switching back and forth between the past and the present.

Qi Lianshan took a deep breath and looked raptly at the mysterious river that was in many legends. “The river of time!”

Countless experts of different races had entered the Shatter Battlefield.

However, very few of them had had the privilege of seeing this river of time.

Those who could not only find it, but also channel power from it to build their inner domains, probably only appeared once in a few hundred millennia.

Wu Ji was one of them.

“Please give us some time alone,” Wu Ji asked Qi Lianshan without exchanging any pleasantries first.

Qi Lianshan fixed Nie Tian with a begging look and said, “You know our relationship...”

Nie Tian shook his head. “As close as we are, you can’t stay this time.”
