The Empty Land and the Yan Sect were separated by tens of millions of miles. In the past, Wutian could arrive in the blink of an eye with the help of the beautiful woman and the others, or with the teleportation of the Realm Gate.
Now that he was flying by himself, he finally realized how huge the difference was. It took him two whole months to reach the old site of the Yan Sect.
After more than ten years of recuperation, the Land of Fire Beacon, which had been destroyed by the Sect Protecting Restriction, had regained much of its vitality. However, as the destruction was too severe, many places were still barren.
As soon as he arrived at this familiar yet strange place, Wutian's mood changed. A clear picture, a memory that he did not want to think of, but would never be able to forget, flashed through his mind like lightning.
This place had buried tens of millions of lives, and at the same time, it had frozen his heart.
Wutian did not fly. He walked step by step among the bushes and grasses. His white hair draped over his shoulders and fluttered in the breeze. Looking at everything around him, his heart was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
For some reason, after arriving at this place, his desire to revive Chu Yiyan seemed to have gradually calmed down. He was no longer as anxious as before.
"Senior Uncle Little Tian, why didn't Master directly go to the Beast King Mountain to revive Master's wife? Why did he walk here?" Luo Qiang did not understand.
"Here." The little fellow looked around and said with melancholy, "There are too many memories of your Master here. Perhaps he wanted to relive the warmth and happiness of the past, or perhaps he wanted to look for those long-lost memories. Or perhaps he was afraid that after consuming the Sky Yin Fruit, your Master's wife would not wake up. He was afraid that all his hard work over the years would be in vain."
The little fellow was right. Although Wutian's face did not show it, he thought so in his heart. That was why he walked forward, trying his best to calm his heart.
Hearing this, Luo Qiang looked deeply at the white figure in front of him. His eyes were filled with sympathy and pity. "Senior Uncle Little Tian, can you tell me about Master's past?"
"Sigh, his story is very long, and his life is also full of tragic colors." The little guy sighed, and slowly recounted what Wutian had experienced in the past few decades.
In this way, Wutian walked in front and the little fellow and the other two followed behind. They walked towards the Beast King Mountain unhurriedly.
In the sky not far behind them, Chi Yanzi stood in the clouds and looked down with a heavy expression. His fists were tightly clenched together. The once glorious and prosperous Yan Sect, which even had the chance to ascend to the top of the Azure Dragon Continent, had now become a wasteland.
The majestic and imposing buildings were destroyed in an instant. Tens of thousands of people died and were buried in the ground. Even more than half of the Jadewave Lake disappeared, filled with mud and boulders. The culprit behind all this was the white figure below.
"All your friends and brothers, I will slowly torture them to death one by one. I will make you live in pain and self-blame for the rest of your life."
Chi Yanzi stared at the backs of Wutian and the others. His old eyes were filled with intense killing intent. As he said this, he did not continue to follow. Instead, he turned into a ray of light and flew in the other direction. At the end of this direction was Wutian's home, the Dragon Village.
…
After hearing the little fellow's story, Luo Qiang clenched his fists. "So Master has experienced so many hardships in his life. However, from today onwards, as long as I am here, I will not allow anyone to hurt Master."
"Brat, you still have some conscience." The little fellow nodded. Then, it looked at Zhang Shi and pouted. "Brat, according to seniority, you should call the Frog Lord and the Son Of Heaven Uncle. Now that you've heard the story of your Uncle Wutian, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Zhang Shi's face darkened. If he had to call Wutian Uncle, he wouldn't have minded. After all, with seniority, it wouldn't be right if he didn't call him that.
However, this shameless little critter was a scoundrel. It would scam people to death without paying for it. Moreover, the other party was a demonic frog-shaped demonic beast. Moreover, it was so small. He, a dignified seven feet tall man, called this shameless little critter uncle. If others knew about this, it would be strange if he didn't die from embarrassment.
"What? Looking at you, it seems like the Frog Lord isn't fit to be your uncle? "The little fellow looked at him with bad intentions. It waved its little paws and laughed mischievously.
"Hello, Uncle Little Tian."
Seeing this, Zhang Shi hurriedly gave in and called out unwillingly. After interacting with this so-called 'uncle' for so long, he knew its nature very well. If he dared to offend it, the consequences would be the same as Gou Yaolong and the others.
The little fellow chuckled. Its eyes darkened. It shook its head and said, "From your tone, it seems like you're not very willing. Since it's so difficult, it's better if you don't call me that."
"No, it's not difficult at all. To be able to be your nephew is a blessing that I've cultivated for three lifetimes. I can't be happier. Why would I be unwilling? Absolutely not," Zhang Shi hurriedly said and emphasized.
"You really think so?"
"It's absolutely true. I wouldn't dare to lie."
"Haha, that's right. If others wanted to be the Frog Lord's nephew, the Frog Lord wouldn't be happy." The little fellow smiled proudly. With a whoosh, it floated up and patted Zhang Shi's head. "Good nephew, from now on, follow Uncle Little Tian. If anyone dares to bully you, come find Shishi. Uncle will beat them up until they can't find their way around."
"Okay, okay!"
Zhang Shi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and nodded repeatedly. However, his heart was filled with bitterness. To have such a shameless and despicable 'little uncle', it seemed like he wouldn't have a good life in the future.
After calming himself down a little, Zhang Shi sighed and said, "From an outsider's point of view, Uncle Wu Tian is a cold-blooded and heartless person, but that's not the case. He's more affectionate and righteous than anyone else. It's just that he hides these feelings deep inside him."
"That's right. The Son Of Heaven is too affectionate. Otherwise, he wouldn't be bound by so many shackles and wouldn't be living such a tiring life."
The little fellow shook its head and continued, "For example, your uncle Di Tian's death. If it was the Frog Lord, he wouldn't have felt the slightest bit of guilt because this has nothing to do with me. If there's someone to blame, it can only be the Asura Palace Lord. As for Wutian, he took all the responsibility on himself. I really don't know if I should say that he's affectionate and righteous or that he's stupid."
While they were talking, the group unknowingly arrived at the Astral Fire Peak.
Back then, when they were fighting for the Astral Fire Origin, it had caused the Astral Fire Peak to collapse. Now, there was only a short mountain that was about a hundred zhang tall. The mountain was no longer red, and the scorching heat no longer existed. Instead, there were many colorful flowers and verdant shrubs.
"Sigh! Time has passed quickly, and everything has changed. "After checking, Wutian didn't find anything strange in the Astral Fire Peak. He then sighed and continued on his journey.
Not long after, Wutian arrived in front of a puddle. This was the place where he and Chu Yiyan had their first and only time together. However, this place used to be a pond with a waterfall above and a small stream below. Now, these things no longer existed and were covered by the long river of history.
Wutian sat here alone for a day. In the end, with a sigh, he called the little fellow and the others and set off once again.
All along the way, he was silent as he looked at the Jade Wave Forest that had changed beyond recognition. He thought about a lot of things, but the perturbed and worry in his heart was still unable to be wiped away.
"I still have to face what I have to face in the end. Escaping isn't the nature of I, Wutian."
On this day, Wutian finally arrived at Beast King Mountain. He stood at the peak of the mountain and looked down at the boundless earth. The perturbed and hesitant in his eyes gradually dissipated and was replaced with firmness.
With a wave of his hand, the Dark Sky Ice Coffin appeared and floated before him. As he looked at the Ice Bone Jade Person within, a wisp of tenderness finally appeared on Wutian's face. This was something that was rarely seen on him normally.
After that, he walked forward and slowly opened the lid of the coffin. His movements were extremely gentle and graceful, as if he was afraid of waking up the jade person within the coffin. At this moment, there was an additional wisp of sorrow and longing that couldn't be dispersed within his pitch black eyes.
"I've finally waited for this moment. You should be waiting too, right? Don't worry, after you revive, I will definitely make it up to you and make you the happiest woman in the world …"
Wutian muttered as he reached out his hand to caress her jade-white face. An extremely cold current immediately surged into his heart like a tide. However, he didn't feel cold at all. On the contrary, he felt very warm and at ease.
With this look, Wutian seemed to have been possessed and stayed silent for an entire day.
The little guy couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Son Of Heaven, you've worked so hard for so long and paid so much. Wasn't it all for this day? May I ask what are you still hesitating for!"
"Boom!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bolt of lightning that struck Wutian's sea of consciousness. His body immediately trembled and he suddenly woke up.
"That's right, I should believe in the Heavenly Yin Fruit, believe in her, and not hesitate." Wutian's eyes suddenly burst with a resplendent light, like two scorching suns.
"Little Wu Hao, give me the Heavenly Yin Fruit."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark green fruit appeared out of thin air and floated in front of him. Little Wu Hao wasn't lying. The Heavenly Yin Fruit didn't melt and was still exactly the same as when he obtained it two months ago.
A strong fragrance wafted in all directions, seeping into one's heart and mind. Furthermore, the flowers and trees in the surroundings rapidly sprouted and bloomed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Brand-New branches grew out one after another. Even the trees that had been dead for a long time quickly regained their vitality, growing out tender green leaves.
One could imagine how enormous the life force contained within the Heavenly Yin Fruit was!
Wutian was also overjoyed in his heart. The Heavenly Yin Fruit could actually revive withered trees and restore their vitality. This was just the life force that was spreading out, yet it had already caused such a shocking scene. He believed that after Chu Yiyan consumed the entire Heavenly Yin Fruit, she would definitely be able to recover her vitality and smile.
Wutian bent down and gently parted Chu Yiyan's lips. Just as he was about to put the Heavenly Yin Fruit in, a loud shout suddenly rang out.
"Wutian, you've eaten the guts of a leopard. You actually dared to steal my Myriad Treasure Pavilion's Dragon Pendant!"
At the same time as the loud shout rang out, the void suddenly shook and distorted. Golden light flashed and a realm gate opened. In the next moment, a tall and sturdy man walked out. His rough face was filled with killing intent!
