"You guessed right, you are from the Mount Daliang." He released the hands that were grabbing Li Yi's shoulders, and his gaze became cloudy once again. He turned around, and once again grabbed onto the fishing rod tightly, and sat down.

Moonlight shone down, and the cold wind howled. Everything within the depths of the academy seemed exceptionally tranquil.

Li Yi tightened his mind, and took a big step forward for the first time. He was very curious about what exactly was inside the lake.

"Three years ago, a huge black flame fell from the sky …" The old man revealed a look of reminiscence.

The Mount Daliang was a huge and majestic mountain that spanned for thousands of kilometers. In the past, it represented death, and in the past, not many people dared to set foot in it even after several thousands of years.

Until the fire.

The black flames, the sky which had sealed the "Mount Daliang", burned for an entire three months. All the demons and Vicious Beast that were living in the Mount Daliang were all burnt to death.

After the disaster had arrived, it attracted the attention of the entire Gods and Devils Continent. The experts from the various powers and a few powerful rogue cultivators rushed over one after another.

The "Mount Daliang" that had lost the protection of the demons and Vicious Beast appeared naked in front of everyone's eyes.

When the mysterious veil was lifted and the people of the outside world came into contact with the people of the depths of the Great Liang Mountain, when they found out that the demonic god's bloodline was flowing through their veins, the people of desire used history as an excuse to kill the people of the Great Liang Mountain wantonly.

It was a nightmare.

Within a few short months, the entire "Mount Daliang" had turned into ruins. Everyone who lived there had already merged with the wasteland.

The old man recalled that his gaze had become increasingly cloudy.

Li Yi subconsciously tightened both hands, and said with a deep voice: "Have you tried to stop it?" He took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions.

The old man lowered his eyes and spoke with a deep tone, "I am in closed door cultivation. When I come out, everything will be over."

Li Yi did not say anything, and the old man was silent as well.

The thin moonlight, the cold wind that blew into their hearts, everything played out in the silence.

After a long while, Li Yi opened his mouth again, and asked with a hoarse voice: "Are there no strong practitioners in Mount Daliang?"

The old man shook his head, paused for a moment and then said: "I don't know, maybe I do, maybe I don't." When he went there, everything was over. After walking around for dozens of days, he finally found Li Yi in the river that was dyed red with blood.

"Who gave the order to burn everything related to 'Mount Daliang'?"

"Someone said it's the hand behind Shang Kingdom."

"You will bring me back. Have you ever seen my parents?"

"Nope." The old man hesitated for a moment, wanting to stop his words. In the end, he did not mention that river dyed red.

"What is that black mark on my left arm?" The youth raised his head and stared fixedly at the old man. It was as if the black mark was more important than anything else in his subconscious mind.

Perhaps, it was because he had lost all his memories from three years ago, so his feelings for such a sorrowful story weren't that great.

Of course, there was no denying that the story had been branded into his heart.

The old man muttered to himself for a long time, then raised his head. "There is a very ancient legend in the Mount Daliang. Once a thousand years have passed, that swordsman will open his eyes once more and the Black Swordsman will descend once more."

Black Swordsman.

Li Yi was silent, he had caught these three words.

Mount Daliang, Black Swordsman, and the black imprint. He silently pondered if there was a connection between these three?

Furthermore, the old man had unintentionally revealed something during his previous excitement. He said, "It's like the heavens are helping 'us'."

"We," these two words, could it be that he thought that this old Headmaster had some sort of relationship with Mount Daliang?

Li Yi raised his head and opened his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the old man.

"This is the end of the conversation. You know the answer you want. I can't be considered to have broken my promise to you. You can leave now." The old man slightly closed his eyes, concealing all of his emotions in the depths of his heart, no longer expressing them.

Li Yi paused for a moment, then asked: "One last question, are there any fish in this lake?"

The old man shook his head. "No."

He was stunned and was stunned for a moment. However, he did not think too much and silently left the place as he faced the moonlight.

Returning to his own courtyard, he did not fall asleep at all. He walked around the courtyard and arrived at the Broken Mountain. Under the thin moonlight, he could see that the river was not rushed at all.

At home.

Putting aside all his worries, these two words unconsciously appeared in his mind.

"My family, are you still alive?" A cold wind blew, causing his sleeves to flutter. Under the night sky, the youth's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.

But very quickly, that sadness and emotions were suppressed by him, and replacing them was determination.

He had already awakened and found out the secret of the black imprint. Perhaps, opening seven cavities within three months was not a big deal.

As he thought about this, he sat down cross-legged.

A black imprint would only appear when he tried to break through the limits of his technique. Before that, he had to condense his pulse as fast as possible.

Unknowingly, dawn began to descend.

The first ray of sunlight shone down from the eastern horizon onto Li Yi's body.

He woke up from his cultivation and looked at the distant sky. He breathed in the morning air and thought, it's no big deal. It's just seven orifices. He can definitely do it.

After leaving the broken mountain, Li Yi returned to his courtyard.

At this time, the young man had woken up, he had just walked out of the room, shaking his head, he raised his head and saw Li Yi, and immediately revealed a smile: "Good morning, young lad."

Li Yi looked at him but did not say a word.

The man slapped his forehead, and said loudly: "I almost forgot, from today onwards, you will be my Fifth Institute's student, and I will be your only teacher."

Li Yi shook his head and looked at him before speaking in a serious tone, "There are Red Star Academy. The Tutor's Hall, the Meridian Court, and the Awakening Hall. Each courtyard is divided into a total of three small courtyards. Where does the Fifth Institute come from?" After he finished speaking, he went around the young man.

Amongst the three major cultivation academies, no matter which academy it was, none of them had Fifth Institute ranked. At most, it was the three.

However, this man claimed to be Fifth Institute's teacher, who was he trying to cheat?

The man glared at him and said angrily, "Brat, what do you mean? Are you suspecting that I am lying to you? "

Li Yi paused, slowed down his pace, and said seriously: "It's not that I'm suspicious, but you're lying to me in the first place. Moreover, there isn't a teacher as young as you in the academy.

The man raged, "Back then, who knows how many people cried and shouted about wanting to become my student? Are you still not happy about it now?"

Li Yi rolled his eyes and ignored him.

The young man was stunned for a moment. Was that contempt? Damn it, a genius teacher of the academy like him had actually been looked down upon by a youngster who had just opened his eyes.

It was simply unforgivable!

Clean him up.

Bang!

The man had followed Li Yi's footsteps, but never would have thought that the latter would directly close the door. His entire face crashed into the wooden door, and his facial features twisted.
