Behind Lin Feng, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, and Li Yuanfang all nodded their heads. Their expressions were solemn, but they did not appear nervous or flustered.
Even to them, the war between the two Realms was a war that they had never experienced before. It was a war that would affect a wide range of people.
However, the few of them were rather high-spirited and had already mentally prepared themselves for this. In fact, they were even vaguely looking forward to the arrival of this day.
Shi Tianhao lowered his head to look at the ball of Qi in his hands. He could vaguely see two figures there. They were his parents.
Holding the small world of mana that looked like a ball of Qi, the usually daring Shi Tianhao's hands were actually gradually trembling. The calmness and composure in his eyes had disappeared. What replaced it was a dazed and hesitant expression, but also an incomparable eagerness and urgency.
Those conflicting emotions truly reflected Shi Tianhao's current state of mind.
Lin Feng turned his head to look at Shi Tianhao. He smiled slightly and did not speak. However, there were also hints of gratification and encouragement in his gaze.
Shi Tianhao took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face. "Haha, when Wanqiu suddenly reunited with the Scorching Sun Taoist Master, both father and daughter seemed to be like me now."
Although he was smiling, Shi Tianhao's voice still trembled a little. He forced himself to calm down and lightly tapped on the small world that looked like a ball of Qi. The small world immediately unfolded.
Two figures appeared in front of Lin Feng, Shi Tianhao, and the others. One of the men looked extraordinarily handsome and resolute. Although there was a slight look of exhaustion on his face, it did not hide his elegance at all. The only thing that stood out was that the left half of his sleeve was empty. He was missing his left arm.
This man's facial features were at least eighty percent similar to Shi Tianhao's. It was as if he was a little older and looked like Shi Tianhao in his thirties, or a younger version of Shi Zhongtian.
Next to the man was a beautiful woman. She was dressed like a young married woman, and her expression was somewhat dispirited and weak.
However, when the girl's gaze landed on Shi Tianhao, her eyes widened abruptly. She stared at Shi Tianhao in a daze, and her gaze became lifeless.
After a long while, the woman came back to her senses and looked at Shi Tianhao in disbelief. She wanted to say something, but she could not stop the tears from falling from her eyes.
She covered her mouth and looked at Shi Tianhao. Her gaze was burning with eagerness, but there was also guilt and sadness. She wanted to walk towards Shi Tianhao, but she couldn't.
The man also looked at Shi Tianhao in shock. His gaze, which had always been firm and resolute, was slightly dazed at this moment. He felt as if he was in a dream.
Shi Tianhao looked at the man's severed left arm and the woman's frail figure. His vision became slightly blurry.
"Daddy, Mommy …" Shi Tianhao called out softly. He looked like a little animal that was admiring his parents.
He was a natural sovereign whose name shook the Divine Land and Vast Continent. He was the youngest Yuanying cultivator in history, as well as the youngest Primordial Soul cultivator in history, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor Shi Tianhao, who dominated the world. If anyone else saw him like this, they would probably be dumbfounded.
However, right now, Shi Tianhao's halo seemed to have completely dispersed. He was no longer the young expert who had made a name for himself during the Desolate Sea Grand Assembly. He was no longer the domineering expert who had killed the mid Yuanying ancestor of the Yu family at mid Golden Elixir. He was no longer the young sovereign who had killed another natural god, Shi Tianyi, in the fateful battle in the Dragon Arena.
He was no longer the superstar who had overcome all obstacles and killed and injured many Primordial Soul cultivators as a late Yuanying cultivator. He was no longer the prodigy of the new generation who had just broken through to Primordial Soul and could contend against Dao Integration cultivators head-on, shocking the world.
Right now, he was like a child whose heart was overflowing with emotions, yet he could not express them with words.
Hearing Shi Tianhao's call, the woman could not help herself anymore. She walked over and extended her trembling hands, gently caressing Shi Tianhao's face. She wanted to say something, but she was already sobbing uncontrollably.
The man also walked over and wrapped his arms around Shi Tianhao's shoulders. With tears in his eyes, he said hoarsely, "Hao 'er, you've grown up. You've grown up. This is better than anything, better than anything!"
Tears rolled down Shi Tianhao's cheeks as well. He suddenly opened his arms and embraced his parents.
Lin Feng and the others saw this. They felt relieved and happy for this family that had been reunited after so long and had gone through so much.
This couple was naturally Shi Tianhao's parents, Shi Ziling and Qin Yi.
Even Primordial Soul cultivators were in great danger when they entered the Void Battlefield. Needless to say, cultivators below the Primordial Soul stage could not even enter and exit as they pleased.
More than ten years ago in the Vast Thousand Worlds, Shi Ziling and his wife had already returned to the Vast Thousand Worlds from the Void Battlefield. However, they were intercepted by the Yu Clan and had no choice but to retreat to the Void Battlefield to take refuge.
Qin Yi was seriously injured and almost died. In the years that followed, the couple wandered from place to place. Shi Ziling's arm was once cut off by an emissary of the Underworld Hall. He only managed to escape with the help of the storm unique to the Void Battlefield.
Since Shi Tianhao was still an infant, his family had been separated. It was only today that they were reunited.
Those who knew the inside story were also quite emotional for a time.
Zhu Yi did not say anything when he saw this scene. However, his eyes moved slightly as he thought of his mother who had passed away early.
A scene that left a deep impression on Wang Lin appeared in his mind. When he returned to his hometown during the Golden Elixir Period, his hometown was suddenly invaded and massacred by cultivators. He fought a bloody battle for his parents' clan and was trapped in the Void Battlefield, narrowly escaping with his life.
What left a deep impression on Wang Lin was not his own experience, but his parents and relatives. If anything had happened to them back then, they might have been separated forever.
Thinking of his happy and healthy parents and family, Wang Lin felt that everything was worth it. Now that he saw Shi Tianhao reunited with his family, he felt even more emotional.
Li Yuanfang's usually calm and composed face revealed a disappointed expression at this moment.
He was already an orphan when he entered Patriarch He Luo's tutelage. His parents had passed away early, but there were still traces of them in his memories. Although life had been difficult, there had been no lack of warm and happy times. Now, all that was left was reminiscence.
Qin Yi looked at her son, whom she thought about day and night, with tears in her eyes. Mother and son were connected by heart. At first sight, she felt as if they were connected by flesh and blood. Seeing her son again in the Void Battlefield was her greatest obsession. It supported her to survive and walk through those dark times.
During the days when she was seriously injured and on the verge of death, it was Shi Ziling who had constantly repeated Shi Tianhao's name in her ears, supporting her until the end.
Although she was already convinced, the sudden happiness still shook the heart of Qin Yi, who had gone through all these years of suffering. She murmured, "It's really my Hao 'er, my child …"
Shi Tianhao took a deep breath and wiped his face with his palm, wiping away his tears. He said loudly, "It's me, mother, your son Shi Tianhao. I'm not dead, and I've grown up!"
As he spoke, new tears once again fell from his eyes.
Shi Tianhao didn't restrain his emotions. Even though he had been separated for many years, even though he had been a child when he was separated from his parents, he could still feel the emotions bursting forth from the depths of his heart the moment he reunited with them.
Bitterness, sorrow, worry, all turned into joy and emotion at this moment.
The initial bit of estrangement and bewilderment had completely disappeared. The longing and love between them that had never been severed had completely blended together, transcending the barriers of time and space.
"Father, mother, I … miss you so much …" Apart from Master Lin Feng and a few of his fellow disciples, the impression that Shi Tianhao left on people within Xuanmen Tianzong would always be that brilliant and talented young Heaven's Chosen One. He was the fearless and lawless Devil Incarnate.
But when he saw that other people's children had parents, he would also feel disappointed. Even though his cultivation was getting higher and his strength was getting stronger, there was always a soft spot left in his heart. But it was also a place that was missing.
No one could touch that spot, and it had never been filled. Only today had it finally been fulfilled.
Shi Tianhao looked at Shi Ziling's empty left sleeve. "Father, mother, I've implicated you. Those people wanted to capture you because of me."
Shi Ziling shook his head and said with a smile, "Hao 'er, don't blame yourself. It's only because you've become successful that others will target us. In fact, we've become your burden."
He sighed softly. "Back then, it was also because of us that you suffered when you were young and suffered. It's us who've let you down …"
Qin Yi looked at Shi Tianhao, feeling both sorrowful and gratified.
When they briefly returned to the Vast Thousand Domains from the Void Battlefield, they had made inquiries and found out that Shi Tianhao hadn't died. He had even become a disciple of an expert. The Desolate Sea Assembly and the first battle of Mount Kunlun had shocked the world. They felt both ashamed and proud.
Although they hadn't been able to save their son, he was no longer the young child on the verge of death. Not only had he escaped from the danger of death, but he had also grown into a young genius whose name shook the world.
Shi Ziling patted his son's shoulder hard. His son was now as tall as him, even a little taller than him.
It took a long time for the family of three to gradually regain their composure. Wiping away his tears, Shi Tianhao turned to look at Lin Feng. "This is my Master. All these years, I've been taught and raised by Master. It's also thanks to Master that our family can be reunited this time."
"To think that the Master of the Celestial Sect is here. Junior Shi Ziling (Qin Yi) has been impolite just now. Please don't blame me. Thank you for saving my life, and thank you for teaching Tianhao all these years."
The husband and wife immediately kowtowed to Lin Feng. Shi Tianhao did the same.
Lin Feng gently lifted them up with his magic power. "No need to be so courteous. Tianhao is my disciple. If someone tries to harm his family, our sect will naturally not ignore it."
Shi Tianhao looked at his parents. "Father, mother, where were you before? Were you always in the Void Battlefield? "
