Yu Fei's eyes lit up with surprise. 'Did Teacher figure it out?'
"Teacher..."
Ye Shuping waved his hand, his expression turning serious.
"I have Yu Fei to thank for this. When he broke through to the Grandmaster realm, he didn't absorb the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi. He said it was harmful to his soul, and that caught my attention."
Ye Shuping's face took on a weathered, world-weary look as he continued.
"I have arduously sought the path forward in the martial arts for over two hundred years. It is my obsession, and I am unwilling to give up on any possibility."
"Inspired by Yu Fei, I changed my approach. I stopped focusing on the manuscripts left by past Martial Saints and instead began to re-examine the very foundations of the martial arts from the beginning."
"I started from the very first realm, digging through the most ancient documents, fossils, and ruins, and finally discovered a single anomaly in the records."
