“Peak Master, Where are Elder Sebastian and my grandfather?” Billy asked as everyone took their seats.
“They left more than twenty days ago!” Eliza Rice replied.
“By the way, your grandfather asked me to tell you that before you return to the Forbidden Ruins Space, if you have time, visit the Ravenwood family.”
“Alright!” Billy nodded slightly.
Sebastian Fennimore and the others had left before he came out, which was expected.
After all, the depths of Ether Mountain were forbidden territory, and as outsiders, they were not convenient to inquire about what was inside.
“What about Casey and the others?” Billy continued after a brief pause.
“Master, Casey and the others have been practicing with the two Palace Masters, Dubhe and Megrez Sims, for the past month,” Adam responded.
“Their talents are excellent, and they all broke through a few days ago. They have been consolidating their cultivation recently.”
“Thank you, Palace Masters!” Billy smiled at Dubhe and Megrez Sims.
“We didn’t help much. They mostly relied on themselves!” Dubhe replied with a smile.
“Master, did you experience anything special during this month?” Aspen Kelly asked with surprise.
“Why did your cultivation break through two levels?”
Upon hearing her question, Dubhe and the others released their spiritual power to investigate.
In the next moment, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.
“It seems that something special did happen!”
Billy then explained to everyone about the old master of Ether Mountain from a thousand years ago.
Everyone present was a core member of Ether Mountain, so there was nothing for him to hide.
“Hmm?”
After listening to his words, including Eliza Rice, everyone had an expression of disbelief.
If it weren’t for the fact that they knew Billy wasn’t someone who made things up, they would never believe the truth of this matter!
“I didn’t expect that the Ancestor from a thousand years ago would leave behind a strand of soul guarding Ether Mountain!” Eliza Rice couldn’t help but sigh.
The others also showed a touch of admiration.
“Peak Master, do you know anything about that Ancestor?” Billy asked again.
“I don’t know much either. The old master mentioned it occasionally in the past,” Eliza Rice replied.
“According to the old master, a thousand years ago was an era when talented geniuses emerged among the Glavale people.”
“The major ancient families had outstanding talented geniuses, with the most typical representatives being the head of the Ravenwood family and our Ancestor from Ether Mountain.”
“At that time, no one could match them on the entire planet!”
“I understand,” Billy nodded slightly.
“Master, did the Ancestor mention anything about the Spiritual Line to you?” Niko Wade asked Billy.
“The soul strand of the Ancestor stayed for a very short time. He only mentioned it briefly at the end,” Billy replied and then introduced everyone to the purple flame incident.
“Hmm?”
After listening to Billy’s words, everyone was surprised once again.
“Peak Master, is that flame related to the Spiritual Line?” Billy turned to Eliza Rice and asked.
“It should be!” Eliza Rice nodded thoughtfully.
“Are you sure?” Billy asked again.
“I can only speculate!” Eliza Rice nodded again and continued, “After countless years of precipitation and accumulation, the Spiritual Line has already developed spirituality. It is not impossible for it to transform into the appearance of a spirit.”
“Peak Master, why did it enter your body?” Adam spoke up.
“I have no clue about that!” Eliza Rice shook her head in response. “It should be related to Billy’s physique and bloodline.”
“Peak Master, besides having the young master establish a connection with the Spiritual Line origin, did the old master have any other intentions for calling him back from the Forbidden Ruins Space?” Aspen Kelly asked again.
“I just figured it out!” Eliza Rice nodded solemnly.
After speaking, she looked at Billy with a slightly serious expression. “Billy, you should also understand the old master’s intentions now, right?”
“Yes!” Billy nodded solemnly.
Since that purple spirit entered his body more than twenty days ago, he had roughly guessed the true purpose of the old master calling him back this time.
“You know what the old master means, don’t you, Young Master?”
“For the safety of the outside world!” Billy replied.
“What do you mean?” The questioning continued.
“The reason the Guardian Alliance is under such great pressure is because, besides the people from the Blood and Devil Sects, there are other more powerful forces.” Billy responded.
“And it’s certain that their target is the origin of the Spiritual Line!”
“If there ever comes a day when the Guardian Alliance’s defenses are breached, those people will undoubtedly emerge from the Forbidden Ruins Space.”
“If that happens, not only will Ether Mountain become their target, but the entire world will be in danger.”
“Even if those people are not interested in our world.”
“But the people from the Blood and Devil Sects will definitely not give up; they have long coveted our world!”
“I think I understand!” After a brief thought, he nodded.
“It seems that the old master does not have much confidence in holding out for long!”
“So, he specifically asked you to return and see if you can establish some sort of connection with the Spiritual Line…”
“It’s not just a try!” Dubhe said thoughtfully.
“Presumably, the old master has long known that you can definitely establish a connection with the Spiritual Line; otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked you to come back!”
“I think so too!” Megrez Sims responded from the side.
“I finally understand!” At this moment, Adam had an enlightened expression.
“In this way, Young Master draws all the enemy’s firepower onto himself!”
“When those people find out that the origin of the Spiritual Line is no longer in Ether Mountain but with Young Master.”
“As long as Young Master stays in the Forbidden Ruins Space, those people won’t come out, ensuring the safety of the outside world!”
“Exactly!” Eliza Rice nodded.
At this point, everyone present let out a sigh of relief.
Everyone knew what this meant for Billy; it meant he bearing everything!
“Peak Master, in this way, Young Master…” Adam took a deep breath and spoke heavily.
“This is the fate of the Ether Mountain lineage and the responsibility on Billy’s shoulders!” Eliza Rice also took a deep breath.
“From the day he was chosen as the young master of Ether Mountain by the old master, it was already destined that he would bear a heavier burden than others!”
“Young Master…” Adam turned to look at Billy again.
“It’s okay!” Billy responded with a smile.
“This is actually the best way, isn’t it?”
