Chapter 1168: A Smooth Breakthrough (1/2)

“Who is he exactly?” Wu Ji asked with an incomparably grim look in his eyes.

Mo Heng remained silent. Not only was he reluctant to answer Wu Ji’s question, but he was considering whether he should eliminate this Qi warrior in front of him, who was only at the Void domain at the moment.

Even though Wu Ji was well-versed in time power, he had total confidence that he would be able to kill him in this place. After all, there was an unbridgeable gap between their cultivation bases.

“Nie Tian went to a space disruption zone before coming to the Shatter Battlefield,” Wu Ji added. “He had another incredible discovery there. However, he kept it from all of the important figures of your sect, including Wei Lai, Yan Zhan, and Chu Rui.

“You’re the only one he intended to share it with!”

The reason why Wu Ji was willing to share so much with Mo Heng was because he had seen into Nie Tian’s past, and learned of the special relationship between them.

Because of Nie Tian’s complete trust in Mo Heng, he shared this secret with him.

Mo Heng, who was still wrestling with the dilemma, frowned and asked, “What discovery did he want to share with me?”

Pointing down at the glorious shield, Wu Ji said, “Well, if he wasn’t down there, he would have told you about it already, so I might as well do it for him.

“There was a secret portal in the depths of that space disruption zone, which connects to a whole other heaven and earth.

“It doesn’t belong to any of the forces we know, which is why it’s called the ‘brand new world’. A large number of hybrids were found to be living there, along with a secret force that has gathered many rebel sects, including the Heavenly Corpse Sect, the Nether Spirit Society, and the Death Curse Sect...”

Wu Ji took his time to explain the grand secret Nie Tian had discovered and intended to reveal to Mo Heng alone.

After explaining everything, Wu Ji added, “There’s a possibility that Pei Qiqi, who’s blessed with a unique spatial bloodline and, like Nie Tian, is also from the Domain of the Falling Stars, came from there originally. However, even though Nie Tian wasn’t born there, he seems to have profound connections to the person who founded that peculiar heaven and earth, along with all those hybrids.”

Mo Heng’s expression flickered drastically.

Clearly, he knew nothing about this. Wu Ji’s words had deeply astonished him.

Mo Heng couldn’t help but tremble slightly as he muttered in a low voice, “A large number of hybrids... And a secret force that has incorporated the Heavenly Corpse Sect, the Nether Spirit Society, the Death Curse Sect, and other rebel forces... They deem themselves to be stronger than any of the four great sects, and now they’re going to transform heaven and earth, and create a brand new era...”

This was simply far too shocking.

Wu Ji spoke no more.

He had been just as shocked when he had seen and learned this from Nie Tian’s past. It had also taken him a long time to calm down.

However, he had assumed that an important figure like Mo Heng would have had some clues regarding this inconceivable thing that was going on in the depths of the space disruption zone.

Who would have thought that he knew nothing about it either?

Only after a long while did Mo Heng finally calm himself and ask, “Who else knows about this? Did you tell anyone but me?”

“No, only you,” Wu Ji answered. “Even Pei Qiqi didn’t return to the Void Spirit Society right after their return. She doesn’t seem to be going to inform her master, Qu Yi, of this incredible finding.”

Mo Heng took a deep breath and said, “So about Nie Tian, you...”

“He’s my disciple,” Wu Ji said. “I took him in and set him on the path of cultivation. Of course I’ll protect him and make sure that he rides out the tribulations in his life.”

“I hope you will and can do that,” Mo Heng said in a low voice.

Time flew...

In the depths of the Shatter Battlefield, all sorts of energies of heaven and earth and flesh auras were channeled and flowed towards the glorious shield.

After the shield’s purging and refinement, pure power poured down towards the underground space.
