In the great hall, Nie Tian looked at Nie Dao with shining eyes, waiting for him to tell him everything.
"Nie Tian, you once asked me why the Zhou family head was after you." Nie Dao's expression was solemn as he stared at Nie Tian. "I didn't tell you the truth back then. Now, I've decided to tell you the truth. "
"Mm." Nie Tian nodded and listened attentively.
"The Zhou family head is after you because you have Earth Origin Energy in your body," Nie Dao nodded and said solemnly.
"People from the Zhou Clan are looking for the essence of earth!" Nie Tian's eyes flickered with eagerness.
"Yes." Nie Dao nodded and said, "Searching for Earth Origin Energy is the destiny of the Zhou family."
Nie Tian couldn't suppress the excitement in his eyes.
He knew that his guess was correct. The Nine Great Clans had been sent by the Jueying Divine Palace to search for the Nine Origin Energies in the nine domains!
"Nie Tian, are you alright?" Nie Dao noticed that something was wrong with Nie Tian's expression.
"I'm fine." Nie Tian suppressed the shock in his heart and said, "Grandfather, please continue."
He wanted to personally verify this matter from Nie Dao's mouth!
Nie Dao frowned, but he still continued, "In truth, the Nine Great Clans weren't from the nine domains. They came from another world."
"The ancestors of the Nine Great Clans came to the nine domains with their own missions."
"The Zhou family's mission was to search for Earth Origin Energy, while the Nie family's mission was to search for Light Origin Energy."
"The members of the Nine Great Clans could only return to their original worlds after completing their missions."
At this point, Nie Dao couldn't help but smile bitterly. "It's a pity that even though the nine great clans have been in the nine realms for a very long time, they still haven't found the nine great origin powers."
Eyes trembling, Nie Tian rose to his feet and asked in a trembling voice, "Grandpa, is the world where the nine great clans used to live called the Land of the Abandoned?"
"Hmm?" Nie Dao's expression changed when he heard Nie Tian mention the Forsaken Land. He froze for a few seconds before asking in surprise, "You know about the Forsaken Land?"
"En!" Nie Tian nodded heavily, unable to suppress the joy on his face.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he briefly recounted what he had experienced in the Forsaken Land.
After hearing Nie Tian's words, Nie Dao's entire body froze like a wooden statue, unable to react for a long time.
He had never imagined that Nie Tian had actually been to the Forsaken Land and had even returned safely from there.
He finally knew why Nie Tian's strength had improved so quickly. It turned out that he had been to the Forsaken Land.
He also understood why Jun Aoqing's strength was so terrifying. It was because the latter was from the abandoned land!
Nie Tian had just returned from the Forsaken Land, which was something Nie Dao had never expected.
After a long time, Nie Dao finally calmed down a little. He looked at Nie Tian with blazing eyes and asked, "What kind of organization is the Vanishing Shadow Temple?"
As the patriarch of the Nie family, he knew some secrets. He knew of the Nie family's mission and the existence of the Forsaken Land.
But this was the first time he had heard of the Vanishing Shadow Temple.
He was very curious as to how terrifying this organization that had sent out the Nine Great Families was.
"I don't know either." Nie Tian shook his head with a bitter smile. "I don't know much about the Vanishing Shadow Temple."
Nie Dao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "If the Vanishing Shadow Temple is so powerful, why didn't they come looking for the Nine Great Sources themselves? Why did they send the ancestors of the Nine Great Families?"
"I don't know." Nie Tian also shook his head. This was also what he was puzzled about.
He had seen the strength of Shadowmoon Greedy Wolf and Ying Qianyu with his own eyes. If such experts came to the Nine Great Domains, they would absolutely crush everything.
If the Vanishing Shadow Temple was so powerful, why didn't they search for the Nine Great Sources themselves? Why did they send people from the Nine Great Families?
Perhaps the Vanishing Shadow Temple had some kind of restriction that prevented them from leaving the Abandoned Land.
To the current Nie Tian, the Vanishing Shadow Temple was a complete mystery.
There was not much point in thinking about the Vanishing Shadow Temple now.
But Nie Tian really wanted to know why the Vanishing Shadow Temple wanted the Nine Great Sources.
"Qingwan has already merged with the Beginning Light Realm. Our Nie family has already found the Light Origin Power, right?" Nie Tian said as he glanced at Nie Qingwan.
"No." Nie Dao shook his head with a bitter smile. "The Light Origin Power in Qingwan's body is only a part of the Beginning Light Realm.
"Furthermore, this portion of Light Origin was brought out by our ancestor from the Forsaken Land to search for the rest of the Light Origin."
"There is a strong connection between the Origin Energies."
"For hundreds of thousands of years, the Nie family has been constantly searching for Light Origin.
"However, it will be extremely difficult to find the light element essence. Someone must first fuse with the light element essence, and then form a reaction with the other related essences."
"Qing Wan is the second person to successfully fuse with the Light Origin other than Lord Ancestor."
"But the strange thing is that after she merged with the Light Origin, she did not sense the existence of other Light Origins.
"So even now, the Nie family has not been able to find Light Origin."
Nie Dao couldn't help but sigh.
"So that's how it is." Nie Tian nodded slightly. He roughly understood everything.
When the Vanishing Shadow Temple had the ancestors of the Nine Great Families search for the Nine Great Sources, they must have each given them a small portion of Origin Power so that they could find other Origins.
As far as Nie Tian knew, the Dark Abyss Origin Power and the Earth Origin Power Veins of the Earth Origin Power existed separately and were not complete.
So it wasn't strange that Nie Qingwan's Light Origin Power was only a small portion.
It seemed like it wouldn't be easy to find the complete Nine Great Origins.
Then, Nie Tian calmed down and asked, "Grandfather, what does the Nie family's mission have to do with Qingwan's engagement?"
"The ancestors of the Nie family and the Nangong family had an agreement." Nie Dao smiled bitterly. "If the Nie family and the Nangong family both have people who can merge with Origin Power, then the two must be together.
"Also, the agreement between the two ancestors emphasized that as long as a person appears in the two families who can merge with Origin Power, regardless of their age or gender, they must be together!"
"This..." Nie Tian went blank for a moment, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
The agreement between the two ancestors was too strange.
Not only did age not matter, but did they have to be together even if they were of the same gender?
Thinking of this, Nie Tian couldn't help but shudder.
He was even a little glad that Nangong Lin and Nie Qingwan were a man and a woman. If they were of the same gender, it would be very awkward.
"Isn't such an agreement a little too forceful?" Nie Tian turned to look at Nie Qingwan and couldn't help but frown.
Nie Dao sighed, his expression ugly. "This is the agreement between the two ancestors. Even I cannot change it."
Nie Tian frowned, not knowing what to say.
