Next day …
Lin Fan followed Red Cloud to Yun Zong's library.
"Lin Fan, this is the library. Because the Grandmaster has spoken, no matter how long you stay in there, you'll be fine." Red Cloud chuckled.
At the same time, Red Cloud looked at Lin Fan with a strange glint in her eyes.
The library contained everything that Yun Zong had. Every single disciple had to train within the secret grounds of the sect and attain a certain level of accomplishment before they could enter the library to read. Not only that, there was a time limit as well.
Most disciples were only given two days.
But, the Grandmaster had given Lin Fan an unlimited amount of time. Seemed like the Grandmaster had high hopes for Lin Fan.
But, thinking about the character of the Grandmaster, Red Cloud understood.
If not for the fact that Yun Zong had the support of the Grandmaster, who knew how things would have turned out.
The Grandmaster hated the ancient race to the core, and had never shown any mercy towards them. In fact, he was extremely friendly towards the beings of the thousands of races who had rebelled against the ancient race, and was willing to sacrifice anything for them.
Once upon a time, there was a being of the thousands of races who had killed a legatus of the ancient race. As a result, he was surrounded by the ancient race in a forbidden ground. After the Grandmaster found out about it, he did not hesitate to head over to rescue him.
That battle was earth-shattering. The Sovereign Kings of the ancient race joined forces while the Grandmaster was drenched in blood. Eventually, he managed to escape with the being of the thousands of races.
Later on, the being of the thousands of races became an elder of Yun Zong.
The gatekeeper of the library looked at Lin Fan and nodded his head. Opening the stone door for him, he sent him in.
At this moment, Lin Fan could feel the space around him changing. By the time he opened his eyes, he found himself within a sea of books.
There were two rows of bookshelves that extended all the way to the Heaven and Earth. They were filled with books densely packed together. These books gave off a fragrant aroma. At the same time, there was a ripple of power emanating from them.
Books had spirits, and the more people who read them, the more people there would be. Moreover, some books were written by powerful beings, and when they were formed, they would form a spiritual consciousness, which was also a book spirit.
"Holy f * ck! Reading books in my previous life gave me a headache. To think that I would have to read a sea of books right now. This is truly a sin." Lin Fan shook his head and sighed. He then dove right into the sea of books.
In the Grand Hall of the Sect Leader.
"Grandmaster, Liu Hen has left the mountain today to head over to the place where that human is staying. I think he must be here to seek an explanation for what happened yesterday." The person who spoke was one of the elders of Yun Zong. His aura was obscure, like a vast ocean, calm and composed. However, if he were to get angry, his aura would probably turn into towering waves that could destroy everything.
"Hais! They have already forgotten about their own ideals and the oath they swore when they first entered the sect. To think that they would be so engrossed in the struggle for power! This is all my responsibility as the Grandmaster!" Grandmaster Yun Zong said out in self-reproach.
"Grandmaster, you don't have to blame yourself. In a peaceful environment, something like this is bound to happen." Meng Hengtian lamented.
He had watched Liu Hen and the others grow up. Once upon a time, their hearts were filled with concern for the masses. However, as their strength grew, their statuses grew as well. Gradually, their personalities changed, and they turned selfish. They no longer cared about the oppression of the thousands of races out there, and only wanted to obtain whatever they wanted.
"Grandmaster, are you intending to place all your hopes on that human?" Meng Hengtian asked.
Grandmaster Yun Zong stood up and swept his robes. The next time he appeared, he was in the void above Yun Zong.
"Take a look at the changes in Yun Zong right now."
Meng Hengtian looked at the boundless world as his face gradually changed.
"I'm sure you can tell by now. His aura is changing. He was once like the sun in the middle of the sky. But right now, he's in a state of chaos. This is a sign that he's not far from destruction." Yun Zongzhu said worriedly.
"Grandmaster, what do you mean then?" "That's right.
That human is a genius, a hope. There are thousands of Thunder Calamities in the Cave Heaven. This is a heaven defying existence that cannot be defended against. For the first half of my life, my eyes were blinded by hatred. However, thanks to the guidance of my benefactor, I've walked down the path of the Great Dao. Yun Zong cannot be destroyed in my hands, nor is he the personal property of Liu Hen and the others. The reason why the Founding Ancestor Yun Zong sacrificed himself to fuse with the Great Dao of the Cave Heaven was to leave behind a final ray of hope for the beings of the thousands of races out there.
"Grandmaster, you mean to say that …?" Meng Hengtian's initially calm face changed as he looked at his Grandmaster in disbelief, "If that's the case, I'm afraid they won't be convinced. Furthermore, Grandmaster, how do you know that the human truly cares for the beings of the thousands of races out there?"
"Because of Red Cloud." Yun Zongzhu replied calmly.
"Red Cloud?" Meng Hengtian's face was bewildered. He did not know what this had to do with that child, Red Cloud.
"Red Cloud is not someone of the Cloud race. You should know that."
"I know that Red Cloud is a child that you brought back from the outside world, Grandmaster. However, I do not know what race Red Cloud belongs to." Meng Hengtian replied.
"Once upon a time, I had a life and death bond with a genius of the Heart race. However, the Heart race is a race that the Heaven's Will of the Ancient Saint World does not allow to exist. That's because the Heart race can foresee the changes in the future. Back then, the Highest of the Ancient race struck out and killed the Heart race. His powers pierced through the Origin Ground of the Heart race and destroyed their very foundations. As such, I could only leave behind a single bloodline for the Heart race."
Meng Hengtian did not reply as he listened to his Grandmaster's words carefully. Suddenly, his face changed.
"Grandmaster, do you mean to say that that lass, Red Cloud, has seen the future from that lad?" Meng Hengtian asked in shock.
Yun Zongzhu did not reply further. He looked at Meng Hengtian instead, "Do you understand my thoughts now?"
Meng Hengtian looked at his Grandmaster and eventually nodded his head, "Hengtian understands. No matter what the future holds, Grandmaster, I will always support your actions. After all, your heart has never changed."
Meng Hengtian understood the worries of his Grandmaster, and also understood the pain he was feeling in his heart.
"Eh? Grandmaster, look over there." At this moment, Meng Hengtian pointed into the distance.
"Hais." Yun Zongzhu took a single glance and did not look any further. He then brought Meng Hengtian with him and left the place.
...
At this moment, the disciples of Yun Zong caught sight of their Big Senior Brother Liu Hen coming out of the mountains. All of them followed behind him excitedly.
In their eyes, it was rare for their Big Senior Brother Liu Hen to come out of the mountains. Therefore, it was extremely difficult for them to even catch a glimpse of him.
However, the reason why their Big Senior Brother Liu Hen had come out of the mountains was something that some of the disciples could understand.
This Big Senior Brother Liu Hen must definitely be here to cause trouble for this human.
In their eyes, this human was going to be in for a tragic end.
Now that their Big Senior Brother Liu Hen was here, could this human even be a match for him?
By the time the masses arrived at Lin Fan's residence, Fang Weifeng was hollering out once more.
"Dogsh * t! Get the hell out here! Today, our Big Senior Brother is here! Let's see if you can still be this tough!" Fang Weifeng was in a really good mood right now. After all, today was the day of revenge.
Now that their Big Senior Brother was here, he would definitely be invincible.
