"Another world? What do you mean, Teacher?" Fei Mao was puzzled.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian had no reaction. After all, he was someone from another world himself. His existence had already proven there were other worlds.
Tie Shan recollected his memories for a moment and said calmly. "In order to break through to the next realm, my ancestor had never given up searching for the Heaven and Earth-Fire, even though he knew the chance to find one was almost close to zero. He wandered to every corner of this world and left some of his legacies behind to the people worthy of his trust." He paused for a moment and caressed the White Dragon Spear before continuing. "The Old Monarch Zhang of the Thunder City should be one of them."
Listening to this point, Yun Lintian wondered what would happen to Zhang Yuhuang after returning to her clan. After all, she had given away the treasure that her ancestor had been protected for several decades.
Tie Shan's face changed slightly, and a trace of hatred could be seen in the depth of his eyes as he said further. "One day, a group of greedy people had tracked my ancestor down and forced him to hand over everything he had. They went far to the point they wanted my ancestor to work for them as a slave."
"Of course, a prideful person as my ancestor would never succumb to them. He fought his way out and managed to escape. However, even though he had escaped, his injuries were too severe, and he was on the verge of dying…."
"When he thought he was about to leave this world forever, a miracle happened. He discovered that the volcano beneath his feet actually had the Heaven and Earth Fire he yearned for. Without hesitation, he mustered the last bit of his strength to send himself into the Heaven and Earth Fire."
"Upon he was contacted with the fire, his injuries began to heal at the fastest speed. At the same time, he could feel his vitality increase tremendously. It was as though he had turned young once again."
"As he was in the state of ecstasy, he didn't notice that there was a person besides him in the fire. This person was a woman, a peerless woman. She said to my ancestor that he didn't belong to this world and she would help him leave this world. But… he had to give up the Heaven and Earth Fire."
"At that time, my ancestor believed her right away. He described that he had no way to resist this woman even if he wanted to. She was the most powerful person he had ever seen in his life. In exchange, she would give him the Divine-rank forging profound art and arranged a place for him to stay. That place was the Sky Throne Profound Academy that was just founded by Lord Sky Throne at that time."
Tie Shan spoke to this point. He sighed and continued with a sad face. "My ancestor lived for a few years and gave birth to our Tie clan. He passed his legacy down and told us to pass it to anyone we recognized as a disciple… One day, he suddenly disappeared from this world without telling anyone. We didn't know exactly where did he go to, but we had guessed that he should go to another world as he often mentioned it before."
A peerless woman again? Yun Lintian's brows involuntarily knitted together. He vaguely felt a connection between this woman in Tie Mutian's story and the one Yan Qi said.
He looked at Tie Shan and asked. "Teacher, may I know which year did all of this happen?"
Tie Shan turned to look at Yun Lintian strangely as he replied. "Three thousand years ago. I hadn't been born yet. Everything I told you earlier is coming from my father."
Three thousand years! Yun Lintian was certain now everything was connected together. Before founding the Sky Throne Profound Academy, Lord Sky Throne had encountered the woman. Tie Mutian and Yan Qi were also the same. They had met the woman, and their fates were changed by her. She seemed to do all of this with a specific goal in her mind…What is that goal?
Yun Lintian first thought she had prepared The Sun for the 'chosen one' then. What was the reason for helping Lord Sky Throne establish the academy and helping Tie Mutian?
"Teacher, if there's another world like you said. Wouldn't Azure Palace tell everyone already?" Fei Mao asked in confusion. To him, Azure Palace stood for the righteous world's controller. If there was such top-level information, they should have announced it to the public by now.
Yun Lintian shook his head. "You are too naïve, Fei Mao. Do you know what's another world means to them?" Seeing Fei Mao shake his head, Yun Lintian asked further. "What is the most important thing for the practitioner?"
Fei Mao thought for a moment and answered uncertainly. "Power?"
Yun Lintian shook his head. "No. The most important thing for them is lifespan. No matter how powerful you are, you can't escape from death. The existence of another world means an opportunity to extend their lifespan. Do you think Azure Palace would tell everyone about it? Isn't it better to keep it to themselves?"
Fei Mao immediately understood. However, he still had the impression that Azure Palace was a righteous good guy. He said. "But Azure Palace shouldn't be selfish like that, right?"
Yun Lintian rolled his eyes. "I really don't know how did you survive until now with this naïve mindset."
Fei Mao felt wronged and did not know what to say anymore.
At this moment, Tie Shan interjected. "What Student Yun said is correct. Student Fei, do you know which faction of those people that hunted my ancestor belonged to?" Without waiting for Fei Mao to reply, he continued. "They belonged to the forge master faction within the Azure Palace."
"What!?" Fei Mao exclaimed in disbelief.
