Chapter 2007: Looking Back In Time (1/2)

On the next days, Li Qiye didn’t teach the group anything. In his opinion, a teacher’s job was to show the students the way and they needed to do the rest themselves.

Outside of training himself, he spent more time focusing on Samsara’s bag of skin. He carefully a.n.a.lyzed it while checking it with the other summit.

The skin’s purpose was very simple - a defense capable of stopping the strongest a.s.sault in the world. Alas, this wasn’t Li Qiye’s goal.

He wanted to link the skin with that summit in order to find a clue and open a new portal to a world that does not exist! It was a place unreachable even for the twelve-will emperors. He needed to find it because he required certain things there.

This has been a thorn in his heart for a long time now. He spent generations without finding any breakthrough until now. This skin was a way for him to find the portal.

After numerous speculations, he finally found the connection between the summit and the skin.

“Buzz.” He laid out the skin and it emitted a faint l.u.s.ter. This glow was special; one would be hard pressed to see a similar radiance in this world.

It looked like an immortal glow from a jade, extremely wondrous. Anyone would be attracted instantly with their soul wavering into ascension.

It was truly too beautiful as it flowed across the surface of the skin just like runes or blood vessels. Li Qiye held his breath since he was also affected by its splendor. Moreover, he memorized the lines because of the secret hidden within.

After a long time, all of the flowing lines have emerged on the skin. They suddenly came together to form a figure.

This figure was too faint and unrecognizable. Who knows if this was a man or a woman. It was only the size of a fist but its appearance made the skin as vast as a world. This figure was only one of the living beings there.

Li Qiye’s eyes became profound and seemingly traveling on the river of time across the epochs.

Finally, he stopped at one epoch. In this split second, he was able to see this figure’s real form.

The figure on the skin suddenly woke up and looked back at Li Qiye. Their gazes were not limited by temporal restraints so they stared at each other.

Alas, the figure moved on towards a faraway place. Li Qiye focused on remembering each step. He was experiencing the fortune of a lifetime.

Eventually, the figure finished its path and became tired. It has been walking for too long and too far to reach the deeps of this world. It was time to rest now.

Because of this, the light became to disperse, same with the figure, until everything went away.

The skin became the same again as if nothing had happened.

“So it’s like that, I see!” Li Qiye clapped and burst out in laughter.

He looked up and saw the sunny rays before smiling. Everything became so beautiful in his eyes now: “In this generation, people have asked me how confident I am about the incoming battle? Ask me again today and I shall answer, I will escape unscathed regardless of how tough it will be in the future.”

Next, Li Qiye came out of the room and saw the three students waiting outside.

“Teacher.” All bowed respectfully, even the hidden master - Liu Jinsheng.

“Is something the matter?” He glanced at them and asked.
