"The Existing Academy."
Xie Tian murmured and turned to leave.
Ripples appeared in the air, shaking Xie Tian back to his original position.
Xie Tian's pupils shrank. He focused his gaze and punched out with his right fist.
"Heavenly Cry!"
A huge force struck back into Xie Tian's body, causing him to spit out blood and fly backward, crashing into the short wall.
The Dark Blade trembled.
"I can't get out!"
Xie Tian tensed up when he sensed the Dark Blade's intent.
"The Death Camp Physique Sect is here. If I don't find them soon, I'll be in danger!"
Xie Tian wiped the blood from his mouth and walked forward again. He had only taken two steps when the Dark Blade trembled again.
"There's no need to worry. The rules in the upper realm are different. Everyone has their own destiny. The destiny here belongs to you alone. You can leave after obtaining it."
"You can leave!"
What tempted Xie Tian wasn't the destiny, but leaving.
It was just like how he had come here for the Demonheart Grass. After Zhang Jie died, he had only come for Tianxin.
After confirming that the Dark Blade couldn't take him away, Xie Tian passed through the wooden door without hesitation and entered the Existing Academy.
Creak!
As soon as he entered, the wooden door of the academy closed immediately. Xie Tian looked back and walked towards the cottage with the door wide open.
What he did not know was that the real Unreal Academy occupied more than half of the entire upper realm. It was boundless, and all the geniuses who had entered the upper realm were in the Unreal Academy. The cottage in front of him was only the core of the Unreal Academy.
He also didn't know that he was the only one who could see the words "Existing Academy." Because he was the only one who could see the short wall, the wooden door, and the cottage.
As for the others, including Tianxin, they were all on the way to the core of the academy.
Some were far, while others were near.
Some were tens of millions of miles away, like the disciples of a sacred land.
Some were close to four million miles away, like Tianxin and Shen Feng.
After entering the thatched cottage, Xie Tian looked around.
The furnishings in the room were extremely simple. There were five pictures on the four walls, and there were either words or paintings on them. There was a desk in the middle of the room, and there was a praying mat in front of and behind the desk.
On the desk, there were three stacks of documents, all made of bamboo slips. Aside from the documents, there were also writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, two teacups, and a teapot.
Xie Tian's gaze was fixed on the teacup that was closest to him, and his eyes were filled with bewilderment.
Above the teacup, wisps of white steam floated in the air. The tea was translucent and still hot.
It was as if they knew he would come.
Withdrawing his gaze from the teacup, Xie Tian looked around the thatched cottage once more before walking to the praying mat and kneeling down. He then looked at the other praying mat.
An indistinguishable shadow of a man or a woman appeared on the praying mat. Xie Tian sized up the shadow in Silence. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He found that the shadow was also sizing him up.
This was not strange. What was strange was the way the phantom looked at him.
The face of the phantom was blurry, but the eyes were full of vicissitudes of time. It was as if the phantom had experienced all the years since the birth of the world.
What made Xie Tian feel strange was that the way the phantom eyes looked at him was a little familiar. It was as if he had been looked at by these eyes for ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, a million years, or a trillion years.
This was indeed strange. Just as Xie Tian was about to find out, the phantom eyes closed. At the same time, the sound of Dao trembled.
"Drink tea. There are three stacks of documents. Read them all."
Xie Tian paused for a moment and looked at the teacup. After pondering for a while, he raised it to his mouth with both hands. He should have smelled the tea first and then carefully tasted it. However, he drank the tea in one gulp.
The Dark Blade trembled slightly and was speechless for a while.
The phantom was even more speechless. It opened its phantom eyes again.
"This is Enlightenment Tea."
"I'm in a hurry." Xie Tian took out the first stack of documents. As he responded, he unfolded the bamboo slips.
There were no words on the bamboo slips, but there was heaven and earth.
The name of heaven and earth was ancient.
At the moment when Xie Tian's heart was filled with monstrous shock, his divine soul was pulled into the ancient heaven and earth by this stack of bamboo slips.
Xie Tian, who was sitting upright, was no longer breathing.
"Greetings, Senior." The phantom turned to Xie Tian and bowed respectfully.
The Dark Blade trembled slightly and returned the greeting.
"It has been several eras since you fell in the wilderness of the Nine States. Congratulations, Senior, for finally making a choice."
"The Nine Heavens cover the universe. What's there to be happy about?" The Dark Blade trembled and sighed.
"It's better than you standing in a small hole, unknown to the world."
The phantom smiled reservedly. The small hole in its mouth was the Sword Wind Cave of the Sword Mound.
"I wanted to observe the Nine Heavens, but I entered karma again." The Dark Blade escaped from his body and quietly watched Xie Tian's body. "And entered your karma. I didn't expect it."
"I didn't expect it either." The phantom sighed and then smiled bitterly. "What's more, I didn't expect the ancient species that I've been watching for countless years to become his successor."
Just the word "him" made the Dark Blade feel a trace of respect. Because this "him", although his path was different from the Dark Blade's, was worthy of such respect.
"Choosing Xie Tian, you are very bold."
The phantom smiled bitterly. "The successor of the Evil Emperor, killed by all worlds, is also a glimmer of hope. Besides, didn't you also choose him, and you're called evil?"
"I don't like that name." The Dark Blade rarely got angry.
"It is indeed a disgrace to Senior." The phantom didn't dare to say the word "blade" again and could only nod.
"How do you plan to deal with him?" The Dark Blade asked.
The phantom's expression froze and solemnly replied, "Quietly observe."
"Until when?"
"He still has a long way to go." The phantom waved his hand, and a scene appeared on the desk.
"He has yet to obtain the true inheritance of the Evil Emperor."
He waved his hand again, and the Wan Province appeared.
"There are still seven years before the great changes in the Wan Province."
The phantom was about to wave his hand again when the Dark Blade spoke.
"You only need to observe these things."
The phantom nodded and suddenly smiled. "Because there is Senior."
"I …" The Dark Blade laughed at himself. "If I was useful, I wouldn't have fallen to the point of devouring low-level Dao fruits."
Hearing this, the phantom nodded subconsciously, as if he agreed. Devouring Dao fruits was indeed a very embarrassing thing for the Dark Blade.
"So, you can't just watch and not ask."
The phantom smiled bitterly. "I'm used to it."
"In another hundred thousand years, I think I'll also get used to being called Dark Blade."
"This …" Seeing how shameless the Dark Blade was, the phantom's figure swayed and almost collapsed. "What does Senior want me to do?"
"You already know the answer."
The phantom's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly waved his hand. "You can't do this, you can't!"
"I'm not forcing you." The Dark Blade returned to Xie Tian's body and paused midway. "I'm just giving you a reminder. You should know Xie Tian's nature better than I do."
The phantom fell silent. After a long time, he took a deep breath and muttered bitterly, "Senior Primordial Aura, you're trying to kill me."
"You think he needs the Primordial Aura?" the Dark Blade suddenly asked.
The phantom's expression changed greatly, and his figure almost exploded.
"The Primordial Manifestation Body was lost in the Primordial Era. The Wan Province's fate nurtured it for eight eras before it could produce a trace of Primordial Aura. That is the limit."
"Senior, what are you …" The terrified phantom even forgot to address him respectfully.
The Dark Blade mercilessly said, "Only the Primordial Source can allow him to truly reforge the Primordial Manifestation Body. Only you, a world spirit, have that."
When the words' Primordial Source 'were spoken, the phantom exploded on the spot and didn't reappear for a long time.
The Dark Blade also didn't say anything. He knew that the words' Primordial Source 'could really take the life of a world spirit from the Nine Province.
At that moment, Xie Tian's spirit appeared on a land filled with the aura of the Primordial Era.
This aura gave Xie Tian a very strange sense of familiarity.
"This is …"
Before Xie Tian had time to think, he felt the sky darken. He subconsciously raised his head and saw a huge bird covering the sky ninety thousand miles high in the sky. With a flap of its wings, the sun and moon shook.
"Kun."
Xie Tian gulped. He finally remembered the two words on the bamboo slip — Ancient Era.
"This is the Nine Province World of the Ancient Era?"
As soon as he thought that, Xie Tian felt his body lighten. It was as if he had flown into the sky. Then, he felt a sharp pain in his spirit, which nearly shattered.
An hour later, Xie Tian's spirit recovered slightly. Only then did he discover the cause of his injury. He was immediately shocked.
The cause of his injury was the aftermath of the Kun Peng's wings spreading ninety thousand miles.
He didn't know that the Kun was still in its infancy.
