Chapter 1266: Entering the Node (Two)

The crowd below the black hole stirred in a sudden commotion.

Every single person widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the sky without so much as a blink.

But not long after, most of them grew somewhat disappointed—the black hole, just as it had been at the start, showed not the slightest change, remaining perfectly placid the whole time.

"Qin'er, leave two disciples to keep watch here. The rest of us should go; staying any longer serves no purpose." At last, Nangong Wan withdrew her gaze and calmly instructed Tian Qin'er.

"Yes, Master!" Tian Qin'er replied deferentially, then raised a hand to summon two Core Formation cultivators to remain here, while the rest followed Nangong Wan back to the small island.

After another month had passed, with still no change whatsoever at the node's entrance, Nangong Wan once more ordered Tian Qin'er to seal this entrance with a formation array, then left several disciples to stand guard while the rest returned with her to the Scattered Star Seas.

Han Li had left no Primordial Spirit Lamp for anyone, so all of them—including Nangong Wan—had no way of knowing whether Han Li had passed through the node and was already in the Spirit Realm, or, like Xiang Zhili and the others, had ultimately failed to withstand the spatial storm and the barrier force between realms and perished within the node.

This was also one of the reasons Han Li was unwilling to leave a Primordial Spirit Lamp—after all, for those close to him, having even a sliver of hope was better than none at all.
