Chapter 1240 – 1240 Untitled
1240 Untitled
When Si Cheng heard that Sheng Xiao risked his life to travel through time to save Yu Huang, his impression of
Sheng Xiao improved. “Heh, he’s quite manly,” Si Cheng said.
Hearing this, Prime Emperor Taixu said, “There aren’t many young people like them in the cultivation world
nowadays. When I found out that they got married at such a young age, I thought it was a little ridiculous. Now, I
think that as long as they meet a suitable person, getting married early is no big deal.”
Upon hearing Prime Emperor Taixu’s words, Si Cheng suddenly asked, “Mentor, are you very envious of them?”
Prime Emperor Taixu said, “A friend in need is a friend indeed. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends. Who doesn’t
want to have a significant other who is willing to sacrifice his life for you?” Prime Emperor Taixu was praising Sheng
Xiao and Yu Huang’s solid relationship.
However, Si Cheng said, “If this happened to you, I also would have traveled through time to save you.”
Prime Emperor Taixu was speechless.
There was no way to continue this conversation.
The tea was ready.
Si Cheng poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Prime Emperor Taixu with both hands. “Mentor, be careful. The
tea is hot.”
Seeing that his mentor was silent, Si Cheng realized that he had gone overboard.
Not daring to continue teasing Prime Emperor Taixu, Si Cheng lowered his head and asked in a low voice, “Then
why did you come to look for me today?” His mentor usually hid from him, so why would he take the initiative to
look for him? He must be here for something serious.
As expected, after hearing Si Cheng’s words, Prime Emperor Taixu immediately disregarded the awkwardness and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgot down to business.
Prime Emperor Taixu pondered over it and said, “I heard that Patriarch Jing of the Divination Continent went to the
Divine Lock Abyss a few years ago and was severely injured when he returned. The two of you have always been
close. Si Cheng, tell me the truth. What did Patriarch Jing encounter in the Divine Lock Abyss?”
Si Cheng didn’t expect Prime Emperor Taixu to come for this.
They usually didn’t tell outsiders about this, but since Prime Emperor Taixu asked, Si Cheng naturally wouldn’t hide
it. Si Cheng frowned and his expression became serious as he said, “He said that there’s an eye hidden inside. He
was seriously injured by that eye.”
When he heard this answer, Prime Emperor Taixu’s expression changed slightly.
An eye…
This was exactly the same as what Yu Huang had said.
“What kind of eye was it?”
Si Cheng said, “Black, strange, and terrifying eyes.” Si Cheng subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette again,
but thinking about how his mentor hated the smell of cigarettes the most, he could only stuff the cigarette he took
out back into the cigarette box.
Si Cheng crossed his legs and played with the black bead bracelet on his wrist as he said, “Mentor, you also know
that Patriarch Jing’s divination skills are superb. A few years ago, he divined that a calamity would happen in the
Divination Continent, and that calamity was related to the Divine Lock Abyss, so he wanted to go deep into the
Divine Lock Abyss to check the situation. Unexpectedly, he almost lost his life there.”
After saying that, Si Cheng asked Prime Emperor Taixu, “Mentor, why are you asking this?” Recalling that his mentor
had taken the initiative to mention Yu Huang’s kidnapping, Si Cheng asked thoughtfully, “Could it be that Yu Huang’s
kidnapping is also related to Patriarch Jing’s injury?”
But these two things didn’t seem to have anything to do with each other.
“It’s a long story.” As the director of the Cang Lang Continent’s Space Administration, it was Si Cheng’s duty to
protect the Cang Lang Continent and he had the right to know all the dangers that the Cang Lang Continent was
about to face, so Prime Emperor Taixu conveyed what Yu Huang had said to Prime Emperor Si Cheng word for
word.
When Si Cheng heard this, his expression changed drastically. “Such a thing actually happened on the Holy Spirit
Continent?”
No wonder Mingjue died!
Prime Emperor Taixu lamented, “Yu Huang thinks that the Divine Lock Abyss, the Black Eye, and the place called the
Abyssal Chasm on the Holy Spirit Continent are actually interlinked. And these special desperate places are the
tentacles ‘it’ hid in the three thousand worlds. I thought of how Patriarch Jing went to the Divine Lock Abyss a few
years ago and almost lost his life when he returned, so I wanted to ask you about the exact situation. It seems that
Yu Huang’s idea is very likely right.”
With that, Prime Emperor Taixu suddenly stood up and said, “I have to go to the Black Eye to take a look.”
If he didn’t see it with his own eyes, Prime Emperor Taixu wouldn’t be at ease.
Si Cheng stood up as well and said without hesitation, “Mentor, I’ll go with you.”
“There’s no need. When the Black Eye is in danger, even Prime Emperor powerhouses will find it difficult to survive
if they fall into it. I’ll go.” Prime Emperor Taixu patted Si Cheng’s shoulder and said sternly, “If I don’t come back,
you know what to do.”
With that, Prime Emperor Taixu turned to leave.
Si Cheng grabbed Prime Emperor Taixu’s arm and said firmly, “If it’s confirmed that Yu Huang’s words are true,
then this matter isn’t only about the Cang Lang Continent and the Holy Spirit Continent, but also about the entire
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthree thousand worlds. Mentor, I’m the director of the Space Administration, so it’s my duty to investigate and
eliminate all potential dangers in the Cang Lang Continent. Mentor, either I go alone or you accompany me. In
short, I have to go to the Black Eye.”
Si Cheng pouted stubbornly.
Since Prime Emperor Taixu’s attitude was so firm, he could only agree. “Alright, let’s go together.”
The master and disciple disappeared from Si Cheng’s tea toom at the same time. A few minutes later, their figures
appeared in the demon beast primitive forest at the southern end of the Northern Yan Cang Continent, the northern
part of the Central Continent, at almost the same time.
This was where the Black Eye was.
The Black Eye and the abyss rift were both hidden in the center of the Demonic Beast Forest. Looking down from
the sky, it appeared like an eye embedded in the forest, occupying a place in this dense primitive forest.
Si Cheng and Prime Emperor Taixu stood on a cliff. The black eye of the abyss was under their feet.
Endless black fog filled the abyss.
At this moment, it was dawn. The scorching sun shone on the ground, but it was unable to pass through the fog.
Si Cheng stared at the black fog in front of him as he said with a serious expression, “Five years ago, the Space
Administration sent people to patrol this place. At that time, there was no such fog here.”
More than ten thousand years ago, accompanied by a huge earthquake, an abyss rift appeared in the forest in the
south of the Northern Yan Cang Realm. It was this black eye.
At that time, the experts were filled with vigilance and wariness towards the sudden appearance of this abyss rift.
It was said that for the first hundred years after the birth of the Black Eye, the Space Administration had sent staff
here all year round to silently record the changes here to prevent it from mutating and posing a threat to the Cang
Lang Continent.
However, after observing here for a hundred years, they discovered that although the energy at the bottom of this
crack was chaotic and no one dared to approach, every morning, the abyss crack would spit out incomparably
dense spiritual power to the outside world.
As time passed, the experts stopped being wary of the Black Eye.
Later on, everyone accepted the existence of the Black Eye.
