Chapter 1167: A Learned Scholar (2/2)
He didn’t reveal the fact that he had consumed his lifespan at a terrifyingly fast speed by attempting to see Nie Tian’s future.
This proved that Nie Tian would be an even more influential figure than Grand Monarch Primal Demon and Mo Heng.
Only those who could determine the landscape of this entire starry river and cause upheavals with every move they made would cause him such drastic consumption.
Even though he was being intentionally vague, Mo Heng understood.
“As long as he’s not in danger.” Mo Heng nodded, without pursuing the matter. Then, he turned to the others and said, “Even though the calamity didn’t actually fall upon us, the Shatter Battlefield has fallen apart. The fact that you were able to come here suggests that the battles between the humans and outsiders have all quieted down.”
Chu Rui, the vice sectmaster, pondered briefly, then said, “Even so, our headquarters still requires protection.”
Mo Heng agreed and said, “I’ll stay here and wait for Nie Tian to come out from under there. You’d better head back to our sect and attend to business.”
“Mr. Wu, our sectmaster said that if you don’t have much on your plate, he’d like to invite you to visit our sect.” Ji Yuanquan from the Void Spirit Society, who had brought everyone here, issued an invitation to Wu Ji with a warm smile on his face.
Chu Rui went blank for a brief moment before hastily saying, “Mr. Wu, we’d be honored if you could visit our sect.”
They had all realized how important and useful a person who could see into the future was.
Furthermore, Wu Ji was only at the late Void domain now.
After entering the Saint domain or even the God domain, he would be able to channel the river of time more thoroughly and effectively.
At that time, if he wanted, he would be able to see anything in the past, the present, or the future!
They all knew what that would mean.
“Thank you for your kind offers,” Wu Ji said. “But the river of time is still in the Shatter Battlefield, and I need its profound help to enter the Saint domain. So I won’t leave any time soon. Besides, I’ll stay here so I can keep an eye on Nie Tian, and see when he’ll come out of there.”
His words were very persuasive. No matter how nicely they would treat him, none of them could provide him the kind of help the river of time could.
Therefore, after a brief discussion, people left successively, leaving only Wu Ji and Mo Heng in this place.
After some time, Wu Ji broke the silence by saying, “When I looked into the past, I saw that you had talks with Nie Tian, and gave him extra care. You know his father, don’t you?”
Mo Heng frowned slightly. “You saw all the talks I had with Nie Tian?”
Wu Ji nodded gently.
Mo Heng fell silent, a hint of a fierce look appearing in his eyes.
Still composed, Wu Ji said, “You want to kill me to silence me? Is that because Nie Tian’s father is far too special? Or are you afraid that once the secret of Nie Tian’s bloodline is revealed, there will be major trouble?”
The look in Mo Heng’s eyes grew even fiercer and darker. “You know everything, don’t you?”
Wu Ji pondered for a moment before taking his time to say, “I’ve seen pretty much everything Nie Tian has experienced, but what surprised me was that even though I could see his grandfather, his aunt, and even his mother’s death and resurrection, his father remained a blur.
“I could never get a clear view of his appearance.
“There’s only one possible explanation for this, which is that he’s far too powerful, so powerful that even my time power magic couldn’t penetrate the energy field he naturally exudes.”
Mo Heng let out a snort. “You should be proud of the fact that you were able to see him, even as a blur.”
