Chapter 145: Planetary Rings and Dao Halls



“He got stronger again…” Lu Li was an expert at the peak of Infinitesimal Stage, so he could recognize Gu Nan’s increase in strength from the unfathomable aura around Gu Nan, but this made him feel even more helpless.

Gu Nan walked so fast that he threw everyone else far behind him. Once someone was overtaken by him, it was hard to ever catch up with him again. Lu Li could only watch Gu Nan walk further and further ahead.

If Lu Li felt helpless, then Fu Jing felt totally stunned and startled, completely unable to understand this scene.

‘What kind of family background and power does Lu Li have? He actually has to apologize to this guy?’

“Big Brother Lu…” She couldn’t help crying in a low voice, but Lu Li hurriedly signaled with his eyes and motioned for her not to say more.

Faced with Lu Li’s apology, Gu Nan was still too lazy to talk. He just left while taking Lan Si and Tang Xuan away.

From beginning to end, he didn’t take Fu Jing’s so-called “offense” seriously. This kind of offense from an NPC would only make him laugh, not angry.

It wasn’t until Gu Nan and his party left that some people began to clean up the hall. Fu Jing finally had a chance to ask Lu Li.

“Brother Lu, who is that guy?” Fu Jing looked entirely unwilling to accept this outcome. True to those young masters’ words, she even wanted to ask people to make trouble for Gu Nan after he landed in the Sixth Region.

As though he saw through her thoughts, Lu Li warned in a low voice, “Little Jing, I urge you not to provoke him again… His name is Gu Nan. The Starry Ocean Pavilion praised him as the fastest to breakthrough in the last hundred years, and he once defeated Feng Zhuotang in one blow.”

Lu Li’s calm voice echoed, but Fu Jing’s face was dumbfounded. She felt like she was listening to another language.

She didn’t know who Gu Nan was; she came to the Ninth Region only for a short stop and didn’t stay for long, but Feng Zhuotang was quite famous in the Sixth Region.

Such a famous Domain Stage Star Ranker was actually defeated in a single move?

Fu Jing would never have believed this if it hadn’t come from Lu Li’s mouth.

Even now, she was still hesitating, and her expression constantly changed. She didn’t want to get in trouble with a powerhouse, but at the same time, she also couldn’t swallow this anger…

‘No matter! I’ll just ask Daddy!’

Fu Jing finally made up her mind, and her expression became firm.

……

Gu Nan didn’t have time to listen to these people’s opinions. He walked all the way to the main hall, casually found a corner to sit down, and began to catch up with Tang Xuan.

Of course, Tang Ziwen didn’t join this conversation. The existence of Radiant Tower couldn’t be revealed casually.

Although they were catching up, Gu Nan was mostly the one asking questions while Tang Xuan answered—because Gu Nan’s deeds during this period had already spread throughout the Ninth Region.

Previously, Tang Xuan only figured that the person mentioned in the news just had the same name as the Gu Nan she worked with in Radiant Tower, but if she still didn’t understand right now, then she’d have spent all that time in Radiant Tower in vain.

Back when they finished the mission in Immortal Demon World, the members of Radiant Tower did indeed gain a lot of benefits. Even a small branch office like the Sixth Asteroid Belt Division also received resource rewards for the first time, and Tang Xuan took that opportunity to break through to Infinitesimal Stage.

After her strength improved, it became much easier for her to complete the required number of missions to leave Radiant Tower.

The current Tang Xuan had already washed her hands of the whole reincarnation business. She acted like a normal miss of a large family. Besides her outstanding talent and imposing strength, there was nothing out of the ordinary about her.

After all, reincarnation was an act that permanently possessed other people’s bodies. In most people’s views, this wasn’t anything good.

This was also the reason why the federation in Star Realm had always banned reincarnation, at least on the surface.

After listening to Tang Xuan’s experience, Gu Nan nodded a little and finally asked about his real purpose, “There’s an organization called White Mist in the Sixth Region. Do you know about it?”

“I just know that it’s a reincarnator organization, but I don’t know its exact whereabouts,” Tang Xuan answered after some thought.

Her family was a modest-sized merchant family, and she often traveled between the Sixth and Ninth Regions, so she knew a little about the Sixth Region.

Gu Nan wasn’t surprised. While White Mist was famous, they still couldn’t let their headquarters’ whereabouts be known to everyone, or else it would be destroyed many times over.

“Do you know where I can find out?”

Tang Xuan gave a definitive answer this time, “There’s a place that definitely knows.”

……

The exact amount of time taken by a hyperspace warp between regions couldn’t be determined, and only a rough range could be given.

Gu Nan and the others were lucky this time. The starship sailed in the space channel for two days and smoothly arrived at the Sixth Region.

“The Sixth Region’s structure is very different from that of the Ninth Region.” Tang Xuan sat beside Gu Nan and Lan Si and introduced, “There’s only one administrative star here, but its volume is about twenty times that of Ruby Fish Star, and the size of the main continent far exceeds the sum of the three planets in the Ninth Region.”

In fact, Tang Xuan didn’t need to say that. Gu Nan and Lan Si could also see the distant planet, but there was no reference to gauge the planet’s size when traveling in space, so they couldn’t tell how big it was.

There was only one habitable planet in the Sixth Region, which was the Heaven and Earth Star in front of them.

The name “Heaven and Earth” was an ancient one. The Sixth Region was a place where ancient traditions flourished the most. Many customs and forms of address followed ancient etiquette despite the fact that technology had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

“Are those the Dao Halls?” Gu Nan asked when the starship approached, pointing to the vicinity of Heaven and Earth Star.

Heaven and Earth Star was surrounded by a planetary ring, but strange buildings of all sizes were currently on that planetary ring. Some of them were extremely large and prosperous, while others had become dilapidated, leaving only some broken walls.

Through the starship’s glass window, the unique and magnificent scene of the planetary ring and all kinds of strange Dao Halls were presented to everyone.

“So that’s the planetary ring!” Lan Si sighed, slightly intoxicated. Women can’t resist beautiful things.

“Yes.” This wasn’t Tang Xuan’s first visit, so she calmly explained the origin of the Dao Halls, “Dao Halls must be established by Domain Stage cultivators, because only a cultivator’s domain can stabilize a building that’s on the planetary ring.”

“In ancient times, the people here didn’t know the nature of planets and planetary rings, so they referred to planetary rings as the Outer Heaven,” Tang Xuan said humorously, “and structures that can exist in the Outer Heaven are naturally immortals’ Dao Halls.”

Gu Nan nodded in understanding. So the phrase “Dao Hall” originated like this, and the title “Dao Lord” was then derived from that.

Star Realm’s civilization had experienced at least tens of thousands of years of development.

It was said that in the early years, the nine regions were separated from each other. They all developed separately until the advent of the era of interstellar space travel, when the cultivators in the Central Region first learned to travel between the regions and gradually conquered the major regions.

What followed was thousands of years of chaotic wars. After everyone was weakened, they were finally willing to sit down and negotiate, jointly establishing the interstellar federation.

But Star Realm’s peculiar civilization wasn’t of any concern to Gu Nan. He just wanted to know where he had to go to ask about the location of White Mist’s headquarters.

At this moment, Tang Xuan suddenly pointed out a certain position on the planetary ring and said, “See that? That’s the place you’re looking for—the Heavenly Mystery Dao Hall.”

Gu Nan looked up to see a particularly prosperous Dao Hall. Compared to the surrounding Dao Halls, it stood out from the crowd and even felt like it was looking down at all the smaller Dao Halls below.

And if one looked intently, they’d be able to vaguely identify two ancient characters on the plaque at the main entrance of the Dao Hall.

They were precisely: [Heavenly Mystery]
