Chapter 456: Mother

'Something that the whole Heavens is after?'

Ye Tian Yun felt that this claim was quite ridiculous and hard to believe.

'What do I even have? Even the System I once had, is now gone. Now I am just another cultivator who survived with a bit of luck.'

Wang Yao stared at Ye Tian Yun and shook his head, "I know you won't believe my words. But I am not making up anything. However, it's better if you don't think much about it for now. Follow your goal, and you will eventually know answers to all the questions that have disturbed you along the journey."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head.

What Wang Yao was saying made sense. It was not the right time to think about heaven and other bullshits.

He needed to focus on the present instead of wasting time worrying about the future.

However, there were still a few questions that Ye Tian Yun could get answers to right now.

"Wang Yao," Ye Tian Yun asked, "If what you said about the transmigrator is true, then how did that guy ended up possessing you?"

Wang Yao smiled, "I thought you would know the answer to this. Of course, he's here to kill you."

"To kill me?" Ye Tian Yun was confused.

Wang Yao replied, "Yes. I said the Heavens is after you, and a few weeks ago, I also said that after I (from future) killed you in the Silver Mist City, the System would have brought you back, giving my younger self a target to chase."

Wang Yao paused for a moment and said, "If the heavens is after you, doesn't that mean it wants you dead?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded, then it suddenly dawned upon him, "Ah, yes. If the Heavens wants me dead, and the System is also related to the Heavens, then why did the System revive me?"

Wang Yao nodded, "Yes. Now you have asked the right question."

"Well, the answer to this reveals too much, and both of our existence might get into deep trouble. So for now, just keep this in mind that the Wang Yao in the other room will have one goal - that is to kill Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun."

"It can't be changed?" Ye Tian Yun asked.

"No." Wang Yao shook his head, "System must have already given him a quest. The penalty for failing that quest is death. So there's no saving. He will do everything to succeed, and the System will help him."

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Alright, I will keep this in mind. But before I go, I have one last question."

"You keep saying our existence might be in danger or the enemy might find us… but haven't they already found us? I mean, didn't you say someone has manipulated my emotions?"

Wang Yao nodded, "Yes. But they can't do this again because you don't have the 'knowledge'. When they tried to affect your emotions and thoughts, they did this at the risk of death. If you had known everything about them, they wouldn't have to take much risk, and they could have simply paralyzed you when that transmigrator Wang Yao slashed his sword at you."

Ye Tian Yun frowned.

"This enemy that you speak of…"

"Don't!" Wang Yao said, "Don't discuss it anymore. For now, focus on conquering the Hundred Realm Refining Stage. That should be your main goal."

Ye Tian Yun nodded.

Yes. He couldn't distract himself from his goal. Right now, he was just at the Foundation Establishment Realm. There was still a long way to go and many enemies to kill.

'Hundred Realm Refining Stage…'

It was the same place where Ye Tian Yun had his final battle and was beheaded by Wang Yao and the God's Legion.

Now, he was inching closer to it once again.

'My new target will definitely appear in the war between the Xin Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom… I just need to be ready to strike.'

And for that, Ye Tian Yun wanted to make sure there were not going to be any mishaps or surprise enemies like the three Core formation Realm cultivators who were in Wu Qingwu's carriage.

'I need to reach the Core Formation Realm before taking part in the war.'

This was Ye Tian Yun's current priority.

And to reach this realm, he needed to go back to the Middle Heavens and cultivate in seclusion.

'Since Butler Liu is already here, and I also have a few months of time in my hands, it was a good opportunity to get back to the Middle Heavens and come back more powerful than ever.'

Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

He was still alone in the room, and it seemed like Wang Yao had not fully recovered yet.

Just then, he heard footsteps approaching the hall, and soon there was a knock on the door.

"Young Master, please head to the dining hall. Your lunch is ready."

Ye Tian Yun nodded and got up.

…

After about fifteen minutes, everyone from the Wang Clan and the guests were having lunch.

Ye Tian Yun was sitting beside his uncle, and surprisingly, Wang Yao was sitting right in front of him.

He had recovered.

Ye Tian Yun didn't care much about him, even though there was unhidden killing intent flowing through Wang Yao's eyes.

Even though Ye Tian Yun's hands were currently itching to punch that bastard's face, his attention was much more focused on the food.

It was delicious.

"Uncle," Ye Tian Yun spoke to the Heavenly King, "I must apologize for doubting your words when you praised Aunt's cooking."

Heavenly King Wang smiled at Ye Tian Yun, and glanced at Madam Wang; he said, "She's the best cook I have ever encountered."

"Oh, geez, it's not that good," Madam Wang smiled, and then looking at Ye Tian Yun, she said, "Nephew Yun, I am a good cook, but I am not the best. And I am not being humble here. The best cook is the person who taught me all this."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun was curious, "Who taught you all this?"

Madam Wang pursed her lips as her eyes lowered.

With a reminiscing voice, she said, "Your mother taught me all this."
