Chapter 2004: The Enigmatic Skin (2/2)

There were many locations he could have chosen for the academy in the thirteen continents, some were certainly auspicious grounds.

However, the two emperors eventually chose this place. It used to be desolate without a master so it took several generations of effort before the academy reached its present level.

Surely the emperors had their reasons for picking this place all over the other ones. Only top emperors were privy to the secrets of this choice. The weaker ones had no chance of knowing.

Of course, Li Qiye was aware of these secrets behind the academy. Nevertheless, he couldn’t grasp them entirely. For example, this short summit ahead.

He had spent a generation pondering but could only see the surface. The ultimate profundity here was quite obscure and difficult to understand. However, the skin obtained from Samsara opened a door for him, allowing him to see from a different angle.

He recalled this particular place in the academy and came back to research it since it was related to the human skin. This particular epoch was full of enigmas.

In fact, many people didn’t even know how long their own epoch has lasted for, let alone even older ones. Li Qiye was one of the capable ones so he took his time researching. He required these items and luck because the final battle wasn’t so simple. Otherwise, someone would have done it already.

He sat there like a statue until the second day when Ye Xinxue came to find him. She found his action quite strange because there was nothing to look at here. She tried her best to a.n.a.lyze the summit to no avail.

Of course, if she could actually see something, then other top emperors would be put to shame. Nevertheless, she patiently waited next to him.

The sun rose and set and days pa.s.sed by. Li Qiye finally woke up and trembled with rustling noise as dust and ashes fell off him.

“It’s definitely possible…” Li Qiye murmured with a profound glare: “The old man also realized this back then, no wonder he told me about it.”

He took a deep breath about a new potential path: “Perhaps the time is changing. Someone possessing a heavenly treasure is quite rare already but there are more to come. Worldly affairs are so hard to predict.”

Li Qiye felt quite comfortable because he had harvested greatly just now by opening a new door. Many have tried to do so before to no avail.

He laughed loudly and clapped before standing up with joy.

“Teacher.” The girl who has been waiting walked up to him and bowed.

He withdrew his gaze from the summit and smiled at her: “You have made up your mind.”

She came mentally prepared without any hesitation. Though she was still nervous, she became much more determined.

“You’re right, Teacher.” She nodded: “I really ought to change instead of just hiding like a turtle in its sh.e.l.l.”
