Chapter 1583: Full of Questions (1/2)
Fixing Zhao Shanling with a baffled look, Nie Tian said, “I was going to ask you the same thing.”
Immediately after that, he added, looking even more baffled and surprised, “What? How come you’ve made such rapid advances in your cultivation? Last time I saw you, you were still at the early Saint domain. Now, you’re well into the middle Saint domain, and only a step away from entering the late Saint domain!”
Unlike him and Pei Qiqi, Zhao Shanling wasn’t a hybrid.
And unlike Dong Li, he hadn’t encountered heavenly fortunes like the dark stone and the Dark Aureole.
No matter how hard Nie Tian tried, he couldn’t figure out how Zhao Shanling had been able to make a series of breakthroughs in cultivation within such a short time, given the cultivation resources he had access to.
Even the Son of the Stars and Divine Sons and Daughters of the four great sects couldn’t make such rapid advances in their cultivation.
Furthermore, what was this place?
This was the Spirit World, for heaven’s sake.
It was true that there were a large number of portals and spatial tunnels that connected the Spirit World and the Mortal World. However, most of those portals and spatial tunnels had been built by Ancientspirit and outsider grand monarchs. They were the fruits of their millennia of painstaking labor.
Only Ancientspirits and outsiders with strong fleshly bodies could survive the unusual spatial pressure and access them safely.
The only spatial tunnels humans could access were the three large-scale spatial tunnels in the Realm of Flame Heaven, the Realm of Mystic Heaven, and the Realm of a Thousand Devastations that connected the Domain of the Falling Stars to the Demon realms.
That was why Nie Tian was so surprised to see Zhao Shanling here.
“Do you remember the spatial patterns you, Pei Qiqi, and I found in the ruins of the Bone Sect in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation?” Zhao Shanling asked, fixing the Spirit Scepter with a strange look. “I told you that those spatial patterns seemed to constitute a spell formation that connected to another heaven and earth.”
Nie Tian shuddered and exclaimed, “So this is the place where that spell formation connects to?”
Zhao Shanling nodded. “Exactly!”
Shocked to his very core, Nie Tian said, “Tell me everything!”
“I didn’t have much to do after I broke through to the Saint domain, so I spent most of my time deriving enlightenment from those spatial patterns in the ruins of the Bone Sect in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation,” Zhao Shanling explained. “Every time I discovered some wonders in them, my understanding of spatial power grew deeper. That was the reason why I was able to make remarkable progress in my cultivation.
“After I entered the middle Saint domain by deriving enlightenment from those spatial wonders, I finally couldn’t resist the temptation, and decided to come and explore this place.
“Upon arriving, I found that this desolate realm was surprisingly similar to the Realm of Unbounded Desolation. Now, I’ve explored it for a few days, but haven’t found anything noteworthy yet.
“And I haven’t figured out where this place is either.
“What about you? Why are you here? What happened to your true form? Don’t tell me that someone destroyed it, and you escaped with your true soul. I didn’t think I heard that the outsiders from the Spirit World and the Void World had started large-scale battles in the Domain of Forbidden Heaven, or am I wrong?”
Zhao Shanling was full of questions as well.
“You still don’t know where you are now?” Nie Tian found this surprising. “You’ve left the Mortal World and entered a whole other part of the starry river, the Spirit World. This realm we’re in is called the Realm of Middle Continent. It’s the very place where humanity originated, the ancestral land of all human beings!”
Nie Tian’s soul voice shook heaven and earth like a storm.
Zhao Shanling’s eyes spewed light like white torches. “The Realm of Middle Continent?! The place where humanity originated?!”
WHOOSH!
