"Fire Spirit Sect was the sixth-ranked major sect within the True Spirit Domain. It was famed for its fierce and tyrannical fire-element cultivation arts, but the most renowned figure in Fire Spirit Sect was its sect master.
"A Nine Meridian Genius seen only once in a century. In less than fifty years, his cultivation had broken through to the Palace Opening Realm. At the age of one hundred and forty, he succeeded as Fire Spirit Sect Master, already possessing sixth-level Palace Opening Realm cultivation..."
Bai Zizai waved a hand. "No need to continue. This old man already knows why that fellow Ming Tang stayed here for so long. Fire Spirit Sect had a body highly suitable for him to possess and seize..."
An indescribable fury flashed through Ye Zhen's eyes. "What a pity. His successful possession and body seizure alone consigned more than a million people of Fire Spirit Sect, from top to bottom, to a sea of flames!"
"There is no helping it. Ants cannot control their own fate," Bai Zizai said.
Ye Zhen immediately glared at Bai Zizai. "But everyone, including you, has a time when they are ants! Even with your current cultivation, aren't you still an ant before an existence in the Spirit Communication Realm?"
"That is why this old man must use every possible means to reach the Primordial Continent: so I will no longer be an ant, so I can control my own fate!"
"No longer be an ant? Is this the martial path we pursue?" Ye Zhen's face was ice-cold as he looked at the azure flames covering the mountains.
"Perhaps it is, perhaps it is not. As for what it truly is, perhaps we will only know when we can completely control our own destinies..." Bai Zizai let out another long sigh.
