Chapter 1162

Translator: 549690339

Belonging was a very vague definition.

Perhaps it had a special meaning for those who lacked a sense of security.

Wang Baole had never lacked a sense of security. From the moment he stepped into cultivation, his heart had been filled with joy. However, as he walked on this path, as he gained an understanding of the truth of the world, as his cultivation increased.., as he gained an understanding of his own origins, he gradually... became unhappy.

This was especially so for his senior brother. The changes he had experienced made Wang Baole’s heart feel complicated and heavy.

He didn’t like his senior brother the way he was now. There was warmth in his eyes from time to time, but Wang Baole could still feel the coldness that came from his soul.

The Heavenly Dao was heartless.

Wang Baole had heard these words before, and they were now proven true.

There was even a moment when Wang Baole wanted to leave the dark sect, which he had just arrived at. He wanted to return to the raging flame galaxy, or to the federation, to Earth, and to his parents.

However, he knew that unless he gave up, he had to continue down this path. He had a bond, and he had something to worry about.

He had clearly seen that the world would change drastically in a few decades. Everything that had been beautiful would turn to dust, and he would most likely no longer be himself.

Wang Baole didn’t want to see such a scene. Therefore, he could only do his best to struggle and change.

I really want to... split this world apart with a single strike of my sword! Once and for all, everything will be clear once and for all! Wang Baole thought to himself, he let out a sigh. It was as if he was trapped in a giant spider web. He had the intention to tear everything apart, but he was unable to do so now.

As emotions filled the air, Wang Baole ignored the few dark sect cultivators who were hostile towards him. He thought of his dark sect master and everything that had happened in the dark dream.

......

Let’s wait and see... We can’t jump to conclusions. After all, to the dark sect cultivators here, I’m an outsider who has just arrived. It’s normal for them to be hostile towards me and disapprove of me. Wang Baole thought to himself, as he muttered to himself, he flew towards the dark star with Chen Qingzi and the dark sect cultivators who had come to welcome him.

Along the way, most of the dark sect cultivators glanced at Wang Baole. If they hadn’t known about Wang Baole’s identity before, then the dark fire surrounding Wang Baole’s body was so thick that anyone from the dark sect.., it was impossible for them not to sense it, and it was also impossible for them not to know the significance of the dark fire.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

That was especially so when they stepped into the Dark River region. As Wang Baole approached, the entire Dark River suddenly rippled. The sound of splashing waves reverberated through the air, as if welcoming Wang Baole’s arrival. It was even on the spot between his brows, a mark slowly appeared.

It was the dark child’s Mark!

The appearance of the mark was uncontrollable. Wang baole touched his forehead and didn’t say a word. The dark sect cultivators around him were silent as well. The hostility in the eyes of the youths who had shown hostility towards him earlier was now.., stronger.

Chen Qingzi didn’t say a word either.

Wang Baole remained silent. He followed the crowd and gradually crossed the dark river, slowly approaching the dark star that exuded an ancient aura.

The death aura in this place was perhaps due to the dark river or the dark star. It was denser, and there was also a layer of protection.

This protection required a specific technique to enter. The dark sect cultivators naturally had it, so they were able to pass through without any obstacles. Chen Qingzi, as the Heavenly Dao, also had it. However, Wang Baole clearly didn’t have it.

That was why when everyone stepped into the protection, Wang Baole’s body was blocked outside.

He stood there, looking through the protection at the people inside. No one spoke. They were all looking at him.

Wang Baole looked at Chen Qingzi again. Chen Qingzi’s expression was the same as ever. He met Wang Baole’s gaze, and Wang Baole suddenly smiled. He understood something.

His senior brother... was more like the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao was merciless. This was a part of the rules. Similarly... The Heavenly Dao was fair. This was also a part of the rules. Whether he could stand firm in the dark sect and become the dark child that they acknowledged depended on his abilities.

However, what they didn’t know was that Wang Baole’s recognition of the dark child came mostly from his master in the Dark Dream, as well as his former senior brother.

He didn’t care about the dark sect, nor did he have any deep-rooted memories other than the two of them.

Let’s take another look... Let’s take another look... Wang Baole’s eyes were calm. He raised his right hand abruptly, and the power of his physical body erupted. The dark fire in his body rumbled, and the mark between his brows shone with an intense light. He pressed down lightly on the protective barrier before him.

The protective barrier immediately distorted, then gradually became gentler. Wang Baole took a step forward, and after he successfully stepped in, the dark sect cultivators narrowed their eyes. They didn’t say anything. They bowed to Chen Qingzi and continued to lead the way.

Chen Qingzi nodded at Wang Baole. Wang Baole was expressionless as he followed behind. Along the way, he finally saw the entire dark planet. The ground was gray, the sky was black, and the entire world was dark.

In this dark world, there were many luxurious halls. The halls were arranged together, forming a huge array formation.

The array formation spread out in all directions. Wang Baole was no stranger to everything here. This was the dark sect that he had seen in his dark dream.

He had even seen the palace he had once lived in in his dark dream, and the dark sect cultivators that were now densely packed in the dark sect’s square.

There were millions of them.

At the same time, there were nine gigantic statues standing on the ground of the dark sect. Wang Baole swept his gaze across them. He stared at the most eye-catching ninth statue for a long time. He stopped in his tracks, cupped his fists, and bowed deeply, he murmured in his heart.

“Master.”

That statue was his master in his dark dream, the ninth elder of the Dark Sect, Ming Kunzi.

Wang Baole could still remember what his master had said to him as he sighed at the end of his dark dream.

“Just follow your heart.”

Wang Baole closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he saw Chen Qingzi in the distance. Chen Qingzi was also looking at Wang Baole. The two of them stared at each other, and Chen Qingzi avoided Wang Baole’s gaze.

“Baole, I need to think about the answer you want before I can tell you.”

“No matter what, regardless of whether it’s for senior brother or for myself, I can step into the Dark River. Therefore, senior brother, there’s no rush to answer. Before I step into it, you can just tell me.”Wang Baole cupped his fists, after speaking softly, he was in no mood to bother with the dark sect cultivators who seemed to be rejecting him. He moved and charged straight towards the dark sect’s mountain gate.

Some of the dark sect cultivators frowned. They seemed to be displeased with Wang Baole’s decision to barge in. However, they looked at Chen Qingzi and didn’t speak. There were also some dark sect cultivators who laughed coldly in their hearts.

That was because... the dark sect’s protective array formation wasn’t just limited to the one outside the planet. There were thousands of different arrays within the mountain gate. Even a dark child, if he wasn’t familiar with them and didn’t have the proper technique, would be in a sorry state.

However, in the next instant, a scene that shocked many people appeared. Wang Baole flew forward. The moment he stepped into the area around the mountain gate, the protective array formation that was supposed to appear dispersed on its own after he formed a seal with one hand and waved it, his figure seemed to be extremely familiar with the area. He ignored all the array formations as if he had returned to his own home. He entered the mountain gate and headed straight for the Dark Sect’s... Dark Child Hall!

It was a grand palace that no one had stepped into since the reconstruction. Wang Baole’s approach made the younger generation of the dark sect cultivators even more hostile and suspicious, it was true... Judging from Wang Baole’s actions, his familiarity with the place was as if he had lived here for a long time.

“This was once his home.”Chen Qingzi stared at Wang Baole’s back. The coldness in his eyes was mixed with warmth. It slowly dissipated and became cold again.

“One month later, the Dark River will open. You must... retrieve the remains of the Dark Emperor!”

“Only by controlling the Dark River can our dark sect secure this realm and seal everything!”
