Chapter 2004: The Enigmatic Skin (1/2)
Mountain without limits and ocean without a bottom surrounded by the resonative dao and laws.
Study Room was filled with mountains and great rivers, quite a magnificent and stirring spectacle. Only regular people would think that the books here were useless.
The more knowledgeable ones knew that there were secret manuals hidden here or unfathomable items. Only emperors could reach this particular domain.
One particular summit was filled with molten rocks. There weren’t a lot of foliage and trees here, only a steep cliff ahead. There was a big boulder there, coa.r.s.e and hot. Touching it would result in a burn.
Li Qiye was sitting close by and stared at the boulder on top of this summit since early morning. Occasionally, he would take out the bag of skin for a closer inspection. From the touch alone, this was most likely human skin.
It came from Samsara Wild Ancestor as a last ditch effort to stay alive. Even the combination attack of twenty emperors didn’t do anything to this heaven-defying item.
After a particular guess with this skin piece, Li Qiye decided to go to the academy.
It wasn’t large and seemed to be a complete piece peeled out from someone or perhaps its owner decided to shed off this old sh.e.l.l.
In short, judging by the skin, the person wasn’t that large. The texture and appearance themselves were normal just like any other person.
Many would never believe its defensive potential unless they were to see it for themselves.
Even emperors didn’t know the origin of this skin. Even Li Qiye and Samsara only had a general idea. There were simply too many shocking secrets belonging to its origin.
Li Qiye and Samsara have taken a look through texts of the untraceable epochs and saw legends about it. They only mentioned it in pa.s.sing, never in details. Perhaps no one in history had actually understood the mysteries of this skin.
“There are no immortals in this world, but surely some got close.” Li Qiye rubbed this skin piece draping over his knees and murmured.
Many have asked this unanswerable question - the existence of immortals.
Twelve-will emperors like World Emperor were apex existences. But regardless of their strength, they still weren’t immortals. Because of this, the world believed that none existed, only pseudo-immortals were around at best.
However, the appearance of this skin broke a few beliefs. Li Qiye had finally gotten concrete evidence of this particular legend. He fell into a deep rumination about something even more ancient.
“Perhaps there is still a way.” Li Qiye put away the skin and stared at the summit ahead again: “A world that doesn’t exist… it is impossible but who truly knows?”
The summit was stealing all of his attention as if there was nothing more beautiful in this world.
The academy was built by Immortal Emperor Fei with Deep South Divine Emperor backing him up. During this period, Fei became much more important among his peers.
