Lin Yun's refusal led Lianshan to reevaluate him further, heightening his suspicion that Lin Yun came from a powerful presence.

Only those who've grown up amongst considerable strength wouldn't be swayed by such wealth, right?

Hearing Lianshan's query, the others perked up their ears too, curious about which powerful force Lin Yun belonged to.

Ao Hai glanced to the side, but he too was listening carefully.

Lin Yun stayed silent for a moment.

His experiences during this period conveyed the message that claiming a strong background could grant him many benefits and save him from a lot of trouble.

However, he really didn't want to admit that he came from the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

Strictly speaking, he wasn't a native of the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

But if he remained silent, he feared it would lead to more trouble.

Regardless of Lianshan and Huayang's intentions, Ao Hai may continue to be a nuisance to him, and Xiao Thirteen could also bring trouble if they found out he didn't have powerful backing.

"No need for your hospitality. As for my origins, I come from a small place called Earth," Lin Yun finally spoke, slowly expressing his words.

"Earth?" Everyone was in a momentary stupor.

As Lin Yun was silent, names of the great powers ruling the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain flashed through their minds. Yet, none matched the name Lin Yun mentioned.

What place was that? It seemed they hadn't heard of it before?

Some immediately searched the network but couldn't find any results.

"There's nothing about it on the Universal Network."

"Could it be that Lin Yun isn't from a great power in the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain?"

"Is it really a small place?"

Some had peculiar expressions.

"Earth? Why does that sound so familiar?" Ao Hai's heart stirred, and he secretly pondered.

At this moment, he felt a sombre heaviness in his heart. Any name that made such a strong impression on him couldn't be simple. His mind began to race with thoughts.

"Hmph! Ao Hai, can't you recognize their identity?" It was then that Bahu Ye sneered coldly.

Previously, he had planned to reveal Lin Yun and his group's origins, but he felt obliged not to. He noticed that Lin Yun seemed reluctant to reveal who he was - was he on some sort of quest? He wondered.

It was quite normal for many offspring of major powers to hide their identities while on journeys.

Without Lin Yun's permission, Bahu Ye didn't dare to blurt out their origins. However, he had no choice earlier as Ao Hai was intent on dealing with Lin Yun's group, and he worried for their safety.

Now that Lin Yun had mentioned Earth himself, he no longer had these concerns.

He was aware that Earth was the location of the Immortal Origin Holy Land. Many former visitors to the Immortal Origin Holy Land knew this, yet they generally referred to it as the "Immortal Origin Holy Land" and rarely used the term "Earth". Upon hearing Earth's name unexpectedly, they might not respond immediately but should remember once they thought it over.

Ao Hai had also previously been to the Immortal Origin Holy Land, so he surely knew the name 'Earth'.

However, Bahu Ye wanted to reveal it sooner.

Earlier when Ao Hai arrived, he embarrassed him, leading to their falling out. Now, he suppressed him with a single thought, aiming to deal with Lin Yun's group. If Bahu Ye said he didn't feel aggrieved, it would be impossible.

At this moment, Bahu Ye experienced a sense of revenge.

So you were pretty confident, huh?

Dared to bother a descendent of the Immortal Origin Holy Land? Dared to attack?

Originally, he'd invited Ao Hai over, hoping to take advantage of his light, only to be treated like this!

Well, let's see who you've been dealing with! Let's see what you've been up to!

Are you scared now? Do you regret it now?

"What?" Hearing Bahu Ye's words and seeing his expression, Ao Hai paused, a sense of foreboding surged over him.

Earth... He'd had a flash of inspiration, almost connecting the dots, but then Bahu Ye's interruption forced him to forget this insight.

Should I have recognized their origins?

Did they have any obvious signs? Or were they practicing a unique skill? Should I have easily identified their origins?

Ao Hai recalled, in his thoughts, every little detail of his encounters with Lin Yun's group.

"Hmm?"

Lianshan and Huayang were also tense when they saw this.

Initially, they were still doubtful, wondering if this young man indeed didn't possess a powerful background. But after hearing Bahu Ye's tone, they revisited this idea. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

Eight or nine times out of ten, this youth and his group had significant backgrounds.

It was likely that Ao Hai knew something.

And that must have been why Bahu Ye said it so confidently.

Otherwise, Bahu Ye wasn't a fool; he wouldn't behave like this.

However, they kept recalling but couldn't remember any place called Earth.

They'd exhausted all options concerning powers in the Civilization Star Domain, both inside and outside of their significant forces.

"I've got it! The aura of souls!" Suddenly, a realization struck Ao Hai. He could now discern Lin Yun's identity from another perspective.

Cultivation skills, artefacts, and symbols could reveal an individual's origin.

Similarly, the aura of souls could also reveal origins. However, many great forces developed over countless years, branching into countless factions. The soul's aura would've morphed along the way. Hence, it was challenging to identify the origin of offspring from a great power using this method.

Thus, Ao Hai had temporarily disregarded this form of identification.

But once he thought about it, he immediately recognized the familiar aura from Lin Yun.

"You... are you from the Immortal Origin Holy Land?" Soon after realizing it, Ao Hai looked at Lin Yun's group in disbelief, his voice shaking.

He finally remembered where he'd encountered Lin Yun's soul aura before — the Immortal Origin Holy Land. That was it. Human souls from that place emitted precisely the same soul aura.

Nonetheless, this revelation left him trembling.

People from that place... They were from that place...

People from that place had ventured out!

God, what had he done!

He'd actually provoked and attacked people from that land!

Panic enveloped him.

He'd been to that realm. He was well aware of its extraordinary might. Someone of his rank was insignificant in the Immortal Origin Holy Land. He dared to provoke and attack people from that place, effectively seeking his own demise!

Even a random warrior from there, or even a slight hint of displeasure from one of them, and he'd be wiped from existence!

"Immortal Origin Holy Land? Could it be that place?" Seeing Ao Hai's reaction, Lianshan and Huayang first appeared doubtful but then their faces changed to expressions of shock as they looked at Lin Yun's group.

They had missed the opportunity of the emergence of the Immortal Origin Holy Land as they were in seclusion. But they'd heard tales about it from friends.

The power and the shock of that place were no strangers to them.

This youth and his group were from that place?
