How ironic!
No, it wasn't just ironic!
Prime Emperor Yu Tian's misery was clearly caused by someone!
"Prime Emperor Yu Tian." Prime Emperor Lan Ji held Prime Emperor Yu Tian's face tightly as he asked Prime Emperor Yu Tian to raise his chin slightly so that he could look up at him.
However, Prime Emperor Yu Tian's eyes were filled with timidity, low self-esteem, and fear. He didn't dare to look at Prime Emperor Lan Ji directly.
"Prime Emperor Yu Tian, who harmed you to this extent?!" Lan Ji couldn't believe that all of this was true.
Even though Lan Ji didn't have a close relationship with Prime Emperor Yu Tian, he still felt extremely sad and angry when he saw Prime Emperor Lan Ji being persecuted to this state.
Upon hearing Prime Emperor Lan Ji's concern, Prime Emperor Yu Tian became very agitated. He suddenly stretched out his arms and pushed Prime Emperor Lan Ji.
Prime Emperor Lan Ji didn't circulate his spiritual energy, but Prime Emperor Yu Tian's full force push was unable to move Prime Emperor Lan Ji at all.
A strange look flashed across Prime Emperor Lan Ji's eyes and he was filled with pity. "Prime Emperor Yu Tian, how did your cultivation level become so…"
Prime Emperor Lan Ji couldn't bear to continue.
When he saw that Prime Emperor Yu Tian had fallen into such a state, he felt very upset.
Chu Xiaoyue, who was called Prime Emperor Yu Tian, was an upright person. Whether it was fighting enemies or sparring with friends, he had never used any despicable methods.
He rarely ever lost.
His cultivation level was above Prime Emperor Lan Ji's.
In the previous years, Prime Emperor Lan Ji could only rank as a second-class Prime Emperor, while Prime Emperor Yu Tian was a top expert who rivaled Madam Brulee, Prime Emperor Taixu, and Prime Emperor Jiuxiao.
Prime Emperor Yu Tian had clearly used all his strength in that push just now, but he didn't even have the ability to push him to the ground. His cultivation level should not be so weak.
Where did his cultivation go?
What exactly happened to him?
"Prime Emperor Yu Tian, who caused you to become like this? Where's your cultivation? Also, where's your wife?" At this moment, Prime Emperor Lan Ji's mind was filled with questions, but he couldn't get any explanation.
At this moment, Prime Emperor Yu Tian gradually calmed down.
"Whoa…" Prime Emperor Yu Tian suddenly opened his mouth and revealed it to Prime Emperor Lan Ji and the others.
Seeing this, Prime Emperor Lan Ji was slightly stunned.
Yu Huang thought of something and hurriedly aimed the flashlight at Prime Emperor Yu Tian's mouth. Then, Prime Emperor Lan Ji saw a black hole!
Not to mention having no teeth or tongue, there wasn't even meat in the cave.
It was really an endless black hole.
"Ah!" After he saw the appearance of Prime Emperor Yu Tian's mouth clearly, a chill suddenly rushed up Prime Emperor Lan Ji's spine and the sight scared him so much that his pupils trembled.
"This…" Ye Qingyang, Sheng Xiao, and the others found the sight unbelievable. Yin Rong was so frightened that she grabbed the arm of the person closest to her.
That person was Ye Qingyang.
Ye Qingyang frowned in pain when Yin Rong suddenly grabbed his arm. Then, he lowered his head and glanced at Yin Rong. Seeing that Yin Rong's face was pale, he didn't push Yin Rong's hand away.
Yu Huang was also somewhat frightened.
She moved the flashlight away from Prime Emperor Yu Tian's mouth and shone it towards the cave ceiling above her. After a long while, she sighed softly. "How inhumane."
The person who had harmed Prime Emperor Yu Tian to this extent was really inhumane.
Prime Emperor Yu Tian slowly closed his mouth.
He placed his hands on the ground and moved to the furthest corner of the cave. This seemed to be his safe nest.
Prime Emperor Yu Tian covered his head with his hand and lowered his head while panting.
After a long while, Prime Emperor Yu Tian finally calmed down.
After a moment, Prime Emperor Yu Tian used his hand to lift his long hair that hung in front of him, revealing his old face. After he slowly raised his head and looked at Yu Huang and the others, his eyes were filled with scrutiny.
Guessing who Prime Emperor Yu Tian was looking for, Yin Rong suppressed her shock and quickly walked to Prime Emperor Lan Ji's side.
Yin Rong squatted down and said to Prime Emperor Yu Tian at eye level, "Hello, I'm Yin Rong. Are you Prime Emperor Yu Tian?"
Under everyone's nervous gazes, Prime Emperor Yu Tian nodded slightly.
Seeing that he was really Prime Emperor Yu Tian, everyone fell silent again.
"Prime Emperor Yu Tian, as you wish, I brought Sheng Xiao to see you." Yin Rong turned around and pointed at Sheng Xiao as she said to Prime Emperor Yu Tian, "He is Sheng Xiao, Sheng Pinghui's grandson."
Prime Emperor Yu Tian's gaze landed on Sheng Xiao.
His stared at Sheng Xiao for a long time before suddenly taking off the ring on his left middle finger.
That ring was Sheng Pinghui and Nian Xingguang's wedding ring back then.
Prime Emperor Yu Tian raised the ring and reached out to Sheng Xiao.
Everyone looked at Sheng Xiao.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Sheng Xiao walked to Yin Rong and squatted down. Then, he extended his right hand in front of Prime Emperor Yu Tian.
Prime Emperor Yu Tian put the ring on Sheng Xiao's middle finger with trembling fingers.
Suddenly, a red blood light flashed on the ring.
Ye Qingyang explained, "This ring is probably an intermediate Spirit Tool that can sense the existence of the direct bloodline of its own kind. The red light just now was its recognition of Sheng Xiao's identity."
When Prime Emperor Yu Tian saw that the ring was glowing red, he looked at Sheng Xiao excitedly. He nodded at Sheng Xiao and held his hand tightly. Then, he patted the back of his hand.
This scene was like an old man who lived alone in a barren mountain finally awaited a descendant of his clan to come and send him off before he died.
As Sheng Xiao looked into the old man's eyes, his chest ached. "Prime Emperor, you… you really know my grandfather?"
Nodding, Prime Emperor Yu Tian opened his mouth to speak, but he could only make ooh and ahh sounds.
He hurriedly moved to the outer room of the cave and towards a stone table. Only then did Yu Huang realize that there was an AI terminal on the stone table.
Although the technology of the Cang Lang Continent was advanced, the AI had only been successfully developed 70 years ago. Before that, they also used computers.
The AI on the table was clearly the first AI. It was very different from the current AI on the market, be it in terms of appearance or function.
The AI on the table looked to be the size of a baby's palm. Its mirror was facing the crack at the top of the mountain and was charging through the weak light.
It seemed that he had been contacting the outside world through this AI that had long become out of date.
After Prime Emperor Yu Tian turned on the AI and a public screen appeared in front of him, Prime Emperor Yu Tian quickly typed on the keyboard. Everyone saw a sentence appear on the blank screen—
[Hello, Sheng Xiao. I do know your grandfather, Sheng Pinghui. I'm his second Mentor.]
Second Mentor?
Sheng Xiao looked at Yu Huang.
Yu Huang shook her head at Sheng Xiao.
At the side, Ye Qingyang asked in confusion, "Why didn't Zhan Wuya and Prime Emperor Jiuxiao mention to us that Prime Emperor Yu Tian was Sheng Xiao's grandfather's second mentor?"
"If Zhan Wuya didn't say anything, we could take it that he didn't know. However, Prime Emperor Jiuxiao and Prime Emperor Yu Tian have always been close, so there's no reason for him to forget about this matter, yet he hid this matter. Could it be that he has a guilty conscience?"
As expected of Ye Qingyang, who loved to raise crows. He was so blunt yet always hit the nail on the head.
Upon hearing Ye Qingyang's words, Prime Emperor Yu Tian glanced at Ye Qingyang before continuing to type.
He told everyone, "170 years ago, I was betrayed and used by my best friend. Later, I was lucky enough to escape and found this place to rest. All these years, in order to avoid that person's pursuit, I've been hiding here. As for my wife…"
At the mention of Madam Prime Master Parrot, Prime Emperor Yu Tian's eyes turned red and he continued to write: "The outside world thinks that I'm in seclusion to cultivate. Only my life, who is closest to me, understands that I'm missing and my whereabouts are unknown. She searched the Cang Lang Continent but couldn't find any trace of me, so under someone's suggestion, she left the Cang Lang Continent and went to other Great Worlds to search for my whereabouts."
