Under the eves of the great hall in the palace, the Tang Emperor was deep in discussion with Emperor Xiao and Emperor Yun on grave matters of state.

Jian Wushuang walked straight into the hall.

Noticing his arrival, the Tang Emperor and the rest of the other people present looked at him strangely.

"Seniors Tang Emperor, Emperor Xiao, and Emperor Yun." Jian Wushuang greeted them.

"Jian Wushuang…" Tang Emperor began to speak with a pained expression, but his voice trailed off as he knew not of what to say.

"I have been told everything. I don't blame you, and I know what should I be doing next." Jian Wushuang said gravely.

He did not blame the Tang Emperor and others for keeping the truth about Leng Rushuang from him, knowing full well that they had been trying to spare him the agony of grief.

Hearing his words, the brows of the Tang Emperor rose with a jot of admiration towards Jian Wushuang, liking him even more.

"And here I was, thinking that the young fledgling will be thrown into a fit of madness or despair. It seems that my concern is misplaced… He is more mature and wise beyond my expectations…" The Tang Emperor thought quietly. He waved his hands and a token appeared in his hand.

"I have left a mark in Shuang'er when she pa.s.sed. This token allows one to perceive the existence of the mark if it is close by. But the token has lost its hold of the mark for now, since she had left this world and had gone far from us."

Jian Wushuang received the token and clasped tightly it in his hand. "My deepest thanks, Senior."

"I am afraid that is all that I can do." The Tang Emperor muttered with exasperation.

"I have something that requires your counsel, Senior Xiao." Jian Wushuang said solemnly, "It's about my father."

"Your father?" Emperor Xiao first looked surprised as he then nodded slightly. "Very well. I do know about your father's whereabouts, but it's a long story. Sit down. I'll tell you everything."

Jian Wushuang nodded and found a place, sitting down immediately.

"Surely you know that this Eternal World we reside in, is but only one of the many domains of the entire Eternal Chaotic World?" Emperor Xiao asked.

"I know that." Jian Wushuang answered.

"But you may not know that they are actually two continents in this world." Emperor Xiao revealed suddenly.

"What?"Jian Wushuang was taken aback by the sudden revelation. "Two continents?"

"Yes, this is the Green Fire World; a domain which is made up of two continents: the Void Continent and the Samsara Continent." Emperor Xiao explained.

"Although the two continents are of the same domain, the continents are not directly connected. One can only travel between the two continents through an anomalous spatial wormhole."

"The continent we now reside in is the Void Continent!"

Gripped by shock and surprise, Jian Wushuang had not heard of such tales before.

It was only on this day that he finally knew that the Green Fire World was made up of two continents.

It was hardly a secret that the great Void Temple commanded absolute dominance across the Void Continent, shying away from the squabbles and skirmishes of the various factions of the land.

But the Samsara Temple was their equivalent upon the Samsara Continent?

Two powerful factions that were almost mirror images of each other?

"The Samsara Temple shares a lot of common ground with the Void Temple. But the Void Temple is less stringent in its restrictions and selections of prospective members. The Void Temple Master ordinarily selects the greatest warriors of the Void Continent directly, just like how the former Temple Master had once invited you to join them." Emperor Xiao said.

Jian Wushuang nodded lightly in agreement.

He knew that his Senior Brother had first achieved the t.i.tle of Dao Master before being offered a place as a master of the Void Temple.

"But the Samsara Temple functions differently, for most of their own warriors are trained and nurtured by the Samsara Temple themselves." Emperor Xiao continued, "and they are most commonly known as the Reincarnators!"

"The Reincarnators are divided into nine different castes, each commanding varying authority and strength."

"Everyone of them hailed from different origins."

"Some are prodigies in the skills of combat native to the Samsara Continent, while there are also others recruited from the Void Continent. Yet, most of them are from the innumerable strata of the domain of the Ancient World."

"The Ancient World?" Jian Wushuang felt another jolt of surprise.

"In short, the Samsara Temple will offer you a place amongst them if you display a certain level of talent and potential, promising you great benefits and resources. Then again, the risks are proportionate. Reincarnators have to endure deadly perils in order to enjoy the limitless resources and rewards!"
