The previous action was just a small experiment by Lin Feng.
A year ago, Ancient One predicted Lin Feng's arrival and made arrangements with Tony Stark in advance, which led to Tony's otherworldly daughter, Morgan.
What further piqued Lin Feng's interest was that this soul form of Ancient One could clearly see past scenes of Lin Feng.
Logically, Lin Feng, being an extremely unique individual who only exists in the current timeline, should not be observable by Ancient One in terms of his future or past.
Of course, it was not entirely impossible that some vague clues might be glimpsed.
After all, magic itself is rather profound.
Therefore, this time, Lin Feng decided to find Ancient One and set a one-hour deadline for himself.
If Ancient One did not appear within an hour, he would resort to other means to locate and summon her.
And now, the experiment was a success. The soul form of Ancient One before him cast a meaningful glance, her smile making Lin Feng's skin crawl.
"Mr. Lin Feng, perhaps some things are not as you imagine them to be..."
Lin Feng spread his hands and said with great interest, "Oh? Elaborate."
I'm listening to your sophistry!
"Why don't we find a place to have some tea and chat leisurely?" Ancient One suggested, rather than launching into her explanation immediately.
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, "In this state... can you drink tea?"
This was quite intriguing; Lin Feng had never seen a soul capable of drinking tea.
Ancient One chuckled, "What's so impossible about that?"
As she responded, Ancient One cast a spell, and the surroundings around them rapidly shifted.
Soon, the two arrived at a place Lin Feng was familiar with – Kamar-Taj.
Perhaps due to the long passage of time and the outbreak of the zombie virus, Kamar-Taj had become desolate and dilapidated, with not a soul in sight.
Ruined buildings were everywhere, a far cry from its former glory. Even Ancient One's former dwelling was now in a state of disrepair.
Even though Ancient One maintained a calm demeanor, she couldn't help but sigh slightly when faced with the ruined state of her former abode.
It was not necessarily glorious, but at least it was a sanctuary for training sorcerers. Now, it had devolved into this state.
Ancient One shook her head and walked towards the small house, "Let's go, Lin Feng."
With each step Ancient One took, the scenery of Kamar-Taj rapidly reversed, and the dilapidated small house began to mend itself.
By the time they reached the entrance, Kamar-Taj had been restored to a state indistinguishable from the Kamar-Taj in Lin Feng's own Marvel universe.
Lin Feng sat at the familiar yet strange table. He then realized that compared to their last meeting, Ancient One's soul seemed to have grown even more powerful.
Specifically, her transparency was not as high as before.
Ancient One clasped her hands and produced a teapot from her sleeve, already filled with tea.
Lin Feng silently watched Ancient One's actions, thinking to himself, "Where did you learn the art of storing things in your sleeves?"
"Here, have a cup." Ancient One poured a cup and pushed it towards Lin Feng, then gave him another inexplicably wise look.
"After drinking this, your doubts will be resolved."
Lin Feng scratched his head, confused, and cast a suspicious glance at Ancient One.
This bald sorceress was as mysterious as ever.
However, Lin Feng still picked up the cup and drank it down.
He wasn't afraid of Ancient One harming him; he was confident in his own strength.
After drinking the tea, Lin Feng smacked his lips. It tasted no different from ordinary tea. The Ancient One of this universe did not have the Life Tree leaves he had given her.
However, in the next moment, Lin Feng froze.
That cup of tea was clearly not that simple.
It was as if the tea contained a vast amount of information, causing Lin Feng's mind to enter a profound state.
That sensation was familiar to Lin Feng; it felt like his soul was about to leave his body.
Oh, this...
Before he could savor the sensation, the scenery around him began to change.
Like a kaleidoscope, scenes rapidly shifted.
Countless universes and stars zipped past Lin Feng, dazzlingly beautiful, akin to the palm strike Ancient One had dealt to Strange.
Lin Feng exclaimed, "This is fun! What exactly did the bald sorceress have me drink?"
Despite having witnessed countless starry vistas, this passive, show-like experience brought Lin Feng the joy of watching a movie as a normal person used to.
Stars shifted, universes were destroyed and reborn, and all things in existence whizzed past them. The only constants were Ancient One and the small table before them.
It was unclear whether these visions were due to the tea or some other magic secretly cast by Ancient One.
The changing scenery quickly stopped, and they arrived in an open area.
There was nothing there, except for a massive... in front of them.
Lin Feng frowned.
"Is this... a wall?"
Lin Feng stroked his chin. It probably was a wall, right? A wall standing in the universe?
The ivory-white wall had a somewhat ethereal feel, but no matter how he looked at it, it appeared to be an ordinary wall.
However, this wall seemed to have no end, as if it were the outer boundary of the entire universe.
"That's right, it's a wall," Ancient One calmly sipped her tea.
The atmosphere was rather mystical, and Lin Feng fell silent, unsure of what to say...
"However, this is no ordinary wall."
Lin Feng: ...
He almost felt like inviting Spider-Man to have a verbal confrontation with the bald sorceress...
Sensing Lin Feng's speechless state, Ancient One added, "No one knows what lies beyond this wall."
"Is it the fourth dimension, or the fifth?"
"Is it the convergence point of time and space, or is this the fourth wall?"
Lin Feng's pupils trembled slightly. Had the bald sorceress said something incredible?
But the fourth wall? That was a joke.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, "That's impossible, the fourth wall isn't a physical object!"
Ancient One nodded, "Precisely, which is why I said, no one knows what lies beyond this wall."
...
Lin Feng stared speechlessly at Ancient One. He truly had the urge to curse her out...
But how did Ancient One know about the fourth wall? In Lin Feng's memory, he didn't recall reading any such specific lore.
Shaking his head, even if it were the world of movies, there would be many differences. There was no need to dwell on this.
"This wall records the images of all universes."
"Well... probably, at least, you can find whatever you are looking for here."
The wise Ancient One was uncharacteristically uncertain about her own words.
She extended her hand and pointed at the wall. Like a curtain, countless images appeared out of thin air.
Among them, a set of images was extracted and slowly floated towards Lin Feng.
This smooth operation showed that the bald sorceress was no stranger to such actions.
