Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. He stared closely at Yang Lie and Guihai Yidao. Yang Lie and Guihai Yidao were shrouded by the senses of his soul, so he was unable to see through them at all. This was a sign of the Origin realm, but he suddenly discovered that Yang Lie and Guihai Yidao had not reached the Origin realm. They were still at the peak of the Holy Emperor realm.
Jianchen could not help but think of the Emperor Armament in Changyang Prefecture. In the past, he was unable to see through the quality of the Righteous Yang Sword due to his limited strength. He had always believed that the Righteous Yang Sword was an Emperor Armament nurtured by the Holy Emperor. Only now did he finally discover that the ancestral artifact of Changyang Prefecture was not an Emperor Armament. Instead, it was a weapon used by an Origin realm expert. It was a saint artifact, equivalent to an immortal artifact of the Immortals' World.
However, what made him feel conflicted was that saint artifacts could only be nurtured by Origin realm experts, while his great-grandfather had only reached the Origin realm. His strength remained at the level of the Holy Emperor, so it was impossible for him to raise the Emperor Armament to the level of a saint artifact, on the same level as an immortal artifact.
Suddenly, Jianchen seemed to think of something.
He asked, "Great-grandfather, did you reach the Origin realm in the past and not the Holy Emperor's level of cultivation as recorded in the records? Is it because of a lack of time that you haven't recovered to the Origin realm? "
Yang Lie smiled, "I never thought that you'd be able to see through me. Great-grandson, you're right. Your great-grandfather was indeed at the Origin realm in the past, but I suffered unimaginable injuries later on, causing my cultivation to drop. I returned to the level of the Holy Emperor."
"On the Tian Yuan Continent, there are only records of the greatest human expert, Mo Tianyun, the ancient divine beast, the Winged Tiger, the war god of the Hundred Races, A 'Ruijin, and Poseidon. Aside from the four of them, there have never been any rumors of a fifth Origin realm expert. Since great-grandfather possessed the strength of the Origin realm in ancient times and was heavily injured in a great battle, why haven't there been any legends about you on the Tian Yuan Continent? As a result, everyone still believes that you're the Holy Emperor," Jianchen asked curiously. He was extremely perplexed.
Yang Lie sighed softly as he turned his gaze towards the vast sea in the distance, revealing a look of reminiscence. After a while, he slowly said, "Great-grandson, there are some things that I originally did not want to say, but now that you are qualified to know these secrets, I will tell you."
Jianchen perked up when he heard that. He listened attentively. He had already sensed that his great-grandfather was probably a person with great secrets. He could even speak of some ancient secrets that had been buried in the annals of history.
"Great-grandson, your great-grandfather is actually not from this world. Guihai Yidao and I both come from another world. It's an even greater world. On the Tian Yuan Continent, all the people who have surpassed the Holy Emperor and reached the Origin realm can leave for that world. That world is called the Saints' World," said Yang Lie.
Jianchen was greatly shocked. He stared at Yang Lie in disbelief. He had already learnt about the Saints' World from the sword spirits, but he had never thought that the person who founded the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture in ancient times would actually come from the Saints' World. This completely surprised him.
"This universe really is filled with endless mysteries. I never thought that there would be an even more powerful world above this world," Jian Chen sighed in amazement. He acted like he did not know about the existence of the Saints' World. He then looked at Yang Lie and asked curiously, "Great-grandfather, since there's another world above this world, why are you the only people who have come down from the Saints' World and no one else?"
Guihai Yidao shot a glance at Jianchen from beside Yang Lie. He said, "Do you think people from the Saints' World can come down as they please? There are as many experts as there are clouds in the Saints' World. Let alone the Origin realm, who knows how many Godhood experts are above the Origin realm. Just a single one of them is enough to destroy this world. Regardless of the strength of the people in the Saints' World, even ordinary people, it's extremely difficult or even impossible for them to descend. "
"Guihai Yidao is right. When people from lower worlds have enough strength, they can go to higher worlds. However, it's extremely difficult for people from higher worlds to descend. The reason why we're here is all due to an accident," said Yang Lie. He seemed to be in a slight daze. He thought about everything that had happened in the past.
Jianchen said nothing. He stared at Yang Lie, waiting for him to continue.
"Great-grandson, your great-grandfather may be an Origin realm cultivator in the Saints' World, but Origin realm cultivators have no status in the Saints' World at all. It's nowhere near as grand as on the Tian Yuan Continent. If you really want to use the Tian Yuan Continent as a comparison, then the status of Origin realm cultivators in the Saints' World is equivalent to Saint Masters, Great Saint Masters, or even Great Saint Masters."
Jianchen had already learnt about the status of the Origin realm in the Saints' World, so he was not surprised. However, he would never reveal this secret. He purposefully revealed a sliver of extreme shock.
Yang Lie continued, "In the Saints' World, I belonged to a small group of adventurers. There were not a lot of people in the group, only around fifty. Aside from the captain, who was a Deity, the others were all at the Origin realm. Once, all the members of our group ventured into a newly opened miniature world to search for treasures, but something unfortunate happened there. Something important suddenly appeared in the world, and it attracted the attention of Godhood experts very quickly. They fought in the world, causing it to become extremely unstable. Huge spatial cracks appeared one after another, causing the world to be on the verge of shattering. Many people were caught in the crossfire, and all the members of our group, along with many other Origin realm cultivators, were sucked into the spatial cracks, falling into the chaotic streams of space. "
"The spatial cracks are extremely dangerous. Even the Divine King has died, and even Infinite Primes have to be careful in there. All the members of our group and over a thousand other adventurer groups were sucked in. I've personally seen many people die in there. Even the captain, who was a Deity, did not manage to survive. The laws in the spatial cracks are chaotic, and the flow of time is chaotic. Thousands of years can pass in a single instant, while tens of thousands of years can pass in reverse at other times. Everything in there is chaotic, and no color can be seen. You can't sense the flow of time either. "
"In the spatial cracks, I could only see the members of our group die one after another. Some people were sucked into the chaotic streams of time, where they would turn white in a single moment and their bodies would decay, leaving behind only skeletons. In the end, even the skeletons would be reduced to dust, or they would turn into newborn babies in a single moment before disappearing into nothingness." Yang Lie's voice trembled slightly. His experiences in the spatial cracks filled him with fear. Even after countless years, it had left behind an unerasable shadow in his heart.
