Chapter 2051: Ancient World (1/2)

Everything outside was replaced by a primal world with no end in sight. They were no longer within Arrogance or the thirteen continents.

This place was too majestic and vast. One tree alone covered a thousand miles radius. One peak could pierce through the sky. This also seemed like the center of the universe with stars rotating around it.

Meanwhile, this spot where the academy resided was only a tiny corner of this world. The school was ma.s.sive but it was nothing compared to this world.

“What’s going on?” The students glanced nervously at each other as if they had been abandoned by the previous world.

No one knew what was up, not even some of the teachers.

“Clank!” The gong and the sound of the headmaster continued: “Return to safe areas or face the consequences!”

The situation felt more urgent so the majority of the students went back. Some geniuses from Emperor Mansion were still confident enough to stay out.

During this time, the Three Scions snuck outside to find Gu Qiheng.

Qiheng lived in a grotto all by himself in one of the safest areas of the academy.

“Teacher, what’s going on?” Freesky didn’t have an idea and asked Qiheng.

“A type of returning to the roots.” Qiheng remained nonchalant.

“What?” The three were still confused.

Qiheng explained: “The academy is returning to its own world by coming back here.”

“The academy belongs to this world? Is that right? How can that be?” Rumination didn’t expect this answer.

Gu Qiheng simply sat there with a smile as if this was all within his expectation.

Freesky asked again: “Teacher, is it true? The academy is not part of our world?”

Gu Qiheng smiled: “No, it is.” He was willing to tell Freesky since the guy could be considered his disciple.

“This is a legend hidden by the academy. Why did Immortal Emperor Fei pick this place despite having Deep South Divine Emperor’s support? There were many amazing locations in the thirteen continents. As long as he wanted to, he could pick a place like that to be the building location. Thus, the question is why this desolate place?”

The three glanced at each other; they have heard of this particular rumor before but the answer remained a mystery.

“The truth is that it pertains to a legend about an ancient world.” Qiheng explained.

“An ancient world?” Six-sword thought of something: “One of the immortals?”

“No, such a thing doesn’t exist.” Qiheng shook his head: “To be more exact, this is an abandoned world with no one left. But who knows whether it is a complete one by itself or just a small corner? In short, according to the legend, no one was able to find this ancient world before.”

“And Immortal Emperor Fei found it later?” Freesky inquired.

Qiheng agreed: “Yes, he found it and thought that it had great value. It doesn’t matter why it was abandoned. From the plateau, one could have the best coordinates to cut into this world.”
