C135 (1/2)
Grandpa Sun gave me a very kind and lazy feeling since I was young. Although he gave me an indescribable feeling of familiarity and even found out that he was an immortal later on, I never thought that he would be that powerful.
What Chengtian said was undoubtedly like a huge hammer hitting my chest, causing my understanding of Grandpa Sun to completely collapse.
Grandpa Sun was stronger than the Immortal Emperor, so why did he claim that he wasn't an Immortal? If that was so powerful, why did he burn himself to death? When he died, who was the one who said ”your scheme”? Who could scheme against someone as powerful as an Immortal Emperor, and even allow him to burn himself to death?
Grandpa Sun actually died, but he left me with a bunch of unsolvable mysteries. At this moment, a person's appearance appeared in my heart out of nowhere: Ling Xuan!
Seemingly able to tell that something was amiss, Chengtian asked me curiously, ”You know him?”
”En!” I nodded. ”I call him Grandpa Sun!”
”Grandpa Sun …” Hahahaha, since you are his successor, then your growth is not surprising, where is he? ”
”He's dead!”
”Dead!” Cheng Tian exclaimed, ”With his strength, who can kill him?”
”Sigh …” ”He committed suicide.”
”Suicide?” Cheng Tian's tone was full of disbelief, but after a short moment of surprise, he actually calmed down, ”That's right, if he didn't commit suicide, who could kill him? With his strength, he should have already seen some things. Perhaps it's due to his despair that made him choose to commit suicide. ”
”What did you see?”
”With your strength, you do not have the qualifications to know all this. Rest assured, the sooner you know about it, the worse it will be for you.”
”Alright, let's talk about Grandpa Sun.”
”Sun Yao …” ”I've only met him once. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for him, I might not have been sealed in the valley for hundreds of thousands of years.”
”Oh?”
”The day after the victory in the Immortal Demon Battlefield, just as I was about to go back, something strange happened not too far away from me. Surprised, I went to investigate and found out that it was a person, or perhaps a demon, that was devouring tens of millions of wandering souls in the Immortal Demon Battlefield!”
”Why are there so many wandering souls?”
”You also cultivate your soul? On the battlefield, resentment and killing intent filled the air. The wandering souls were infected by this resentment and killing intent, and it was difficult for them to dissipate while wandering around the battlefield. However, at that time, I saw that his mouth was like a huge whirlpool, and all the wandering souls had expressions of fear as they were sucked into his stomach one by one. ”
”I thought he was a demonic cultivator. Although demonic cultivators are few in number, it doesn't matter. I don't have any prejudice against them, but more than half of the people who died on this battlefield were my soldiers!” They died for me and for the sake of the human race. I did not wish for their souls to be devoured by others.
”In the end, you lost!”
”Yes!” ”I've been fighting with him for a short while, and it's only for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. I've already used all of my skills, but he still held back. I'm known as the strongest amongst the Immortal Emperors, but compared to him, I'm like a kitten meeting a tiger.”
To compare himself to a kitten? This Sky Bearing Immortal is also an interesting person. As for how he was able to see the wandering souls, I believe that as a previous emperor, he naturally has his own unique methods.
”I remember that time, he said he admired me a lot, and then he disappeared. From then on, I never saw him again.”
”And then? Why were you sealed in Jue Valley? ”
Cheng Tian laughed, ”I've said it before, this is not something you should know. In that battle, I overdrafted my strength and suffered injuries. That's why I was able to gain an advantage.”
”What about you now? How much of his power has been restored? ”
”The recovery of my strength is secondary. In this valley, my strength has not progressed even a single bit over hundreds of thousands of years. Furthermore, I have also suffered heavy injuries due to some powerful existences within. I am afraid that I have fallen behind by quite a lot over these years.”
”Yes.” I nodded slightly. I already knew what I needed to know. ”Alright, we've told enough stories. It's time to talk about the deal.”
”Un, that's right. Every time I see you, I want to chat with you, but I've forgotten about proper business. Say it, what kind of deal do you want to talk about?”
I slowly stood up with my hands behind my back. After thinking for a moment, I slowly asked, ”What do you want to know the most right now?” Or rather, what is the thing that you need the most right now to fulfill your dream? ”
”What do I need the most?” After a moment of confusion, Cheng Tian slowly said, ”What I lack the most right now are talent and intelligence.”
”That's right!” I said in a deep voice, ”You're sealed in the Jue Valley. I know that it was done by the other six Great Immortal Emperors. You don't have to deny it, I can guess it.”
”Well, then?”
After which, you have appeared and are most afraid of their revenge. As for you, you are a thorn in their side, because your strength has not recovered and your faction is incomplete, you will have to wait a very, very long time for your revenge.
”That's right, continue!”
”You want to fulfill your dream, and they are your stumbling blocks. The only thing you can do right now, even if you use all your strength, is to fight to the death with them and maintain a balance that can be broken at any time.”
