Chapter 1092: An Emotionless Man Might Not Be a True Hero

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

In a particular dark space, a pale and thin-looking elder came to a mountain valley.

Before he even opened his mouth, the mountain valley already rang with a voice, “Is it Wuguan?”

This elder was a capable right-hand man of the Emperor of the Dead, King Wuguan Sikong You. He replied, “Yes, Your Majesty. It’s me.”

Sikong You continued saying, “My connection with the Nether Priest was cut suddenly. Not only him, I have also lost contact with the two small worlds in the Netherworld Sea that he possesses.”

“I tried to contact his disciple, Gong Zize, but there’s nothing so far.”

The mountain valley was quiet for a moment before another voice rang out, “I know about this already. You can leave first. Take all necessary precautions. If the Nether Priest is revealed, the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Void Sect may be able to find important clues.”

Sikong You replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.” After he finished, he retreated and left the mountain valley.

The mountain valley was a small lake. By the lakeside, there was a young boy who looked handsome. He seemed to be around 10 years old only, but his gaze was filled with solemnity and resilience.

This young boy was the newborn Emperor of the Dead.

He looked at the lake in front of him and became deep in thought. After a brief moment, he opened up his palms and streaks of greyish flowing light appeared in his palm.

These streaks of greyish flowing light floated in mid-space and revealed their detailed appearance, as they condensed to form many half-black and half-white Life and Death Netherworld Dao Fruits.

The Emperor of the Dead looked at the Dao Fruit in front of him and his attention was drawn to three of them.

They were different from the rest of the Dao Fruits in the sense that these three Dao Fruits subtly flashed with human figures. As the Emperor of the Dead pointed, the rest of the Dao Fruits all converted into greyish flowing lights and these lights dispersed. Only the three Dao Fruits remained.

As he looked at these three Dao Fruits, the Emperor of the Dead was calm. He picked one out of the three and separated the chosen Dao Fruit from the other two. After that, he kept all three Dao Fruits again, before closing his eyes to rest.

…

In the small world of the Netherworld Sea that Lin Feng and the others were in, the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ cultivators were standing inside a building on the lakeside of a red lake. They looked at the light projections that had appeared in front of them.

The first one that appeared in front of them was the figure of a huge and tall young man. His hair flowed freely and appeared to be very messy. He wore a brown, linen robe which seemed a little torn.

But his ragged appearance did not cover up the mighty stature that he possessed. Even if it was only a light projection, his aura could still be felt.

Besides Lin Feng, Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi, the rest of the others also felt pressed as they faced the aura of this light projection.

This young man that they saw was one of the Four Immemorial Heroes of the Great Void, Wen Chiyang.

It’s been recognized that after the Great Void Holy Man, he was the top cultivator of the Great Void Sect in its entire history. The truth was, during a battle between Emperor Jue and the Great Void sect, the Great Void Holy Man was heavily injured. Before he recovered, Wen Chiyang once took on the role as the top cultivator in the Great Void Sect during that period of time.

And after the Great Void Holy Man went to the Dead Sea, Wen Chiyang held the fort in the Divine Lands. Through years of cultivation, his powers increased and he became even more powerful than he was when he fought Emperor Ru.

There’s a legend that when Wen Chiyang fought Shen Yuan, his powers might not have been inferior to that of the Great Void Holy Man.

But just after the Great Void Holy Man left for the Dead Sea, no one could confirm if he was dead because there was no news from him. Whether the Great Void Holy Man could continue to improve in the Dead Sea, it was also an unknown. Furthermore, he was even the master of Wen Chiyang. Thus, including Wen Chiyang, everyone acknowledged that the Great Void Man was the greatest cultivator in the history of the Divine Lands and the Great Void Sect.

And during the period of time that the Great Void Holy Man and Emperor Gu went to the Dead Sea, and when the Supreme Heavenly Mirror was in an extremely weak state, Wen Chiyang was the one who suppressed the demons. He was also one of the few people in the history of the Grand Celestial World who could suppress the Holy Demonic Emperor with his own powers alone.

After going through the reins of Emperor Chen and Emperor Xia, Wen Chiyang might not have been a human emperor, but he was publicly recognized to be the top cultivator in the human race then. He had personally killed many demons.

But regarding this hero, there’s very little news of him that spread right now. Most of them now talked about the legend of his fight with the demons. As for the other things in his life, very few others knew.

Lin Feng nodded, “It’s indeed him.”

It’s just that the light projection of Wen Chiyang seemed a little lonely and his expression was slightly startled. He was also looking at the building around him.”

As Lin Feng saw this, he pondered for a moment before unleashing a few streaks of his mana. At the same time, his hands conjured a spell and he shouted, “Guide!”

The scene in front of him changed and in the line of vision of Wen Chiyang, another human figure appeared subtly. It revealed yet another blurry image.

Xiao Yan and the rest knew that this was a light projection that Wen Chiyang revealed when he was here. Right now, it was replicated by Lin Feng.

Because it was an image projected from Wen Chiyang’s memory and it did not exist in the building, as well as the fact that it happened a long time ago, Lin Feng could only restore the image slightly. Thus, it was blurry and unclear.

However, one could see that in this image, there were two people. One was a male and one was a female. The male was Wen Chiyang.

The courageous and fearless Wen Chiyang adopted another look in this image. His expression seemed rather unusually gentle and his gaze was very loving as he looked at the lady beside him.

That lady was charming and elegant, and it felt as if she was the moving clouds in the sky – unforgettable.

But what was more eye-catching was that her tummy was rounded as it protruded out. This revealed that she was pregnant. As she sat on a flexible seat, she caressed her tummy softly. At the same time, her face was filled with a sweet and bright, motherly glow. At times, her gaze would intersect with Wen Chiyang, who was also filled with sweetness.

Wen Chiyang grabbed onto her hands and said softly, “Yun’er, I have to go.”

That lady’s gaze was filled with worry, “There’s news from the Barren Expanses that the Extreme Spirit Shen Yuan is not weaker than Emperor Jue in the past. Your sect’s Supreme Heavenly Mirror has yet to be restored. It will be very perilous for you.”

Wen Chiyang patted her palms and said softly, “Because of what you said, I must participate in this war.”

He smiled, “Moreover, it’s only after the war that we’ll know what the result is.”

Wen Chiyang paused for a moment before continuing to say, “I am fearless. The only concern that I have is you and our kid. If I don’t return and can’t see my kid grow up, it will be my greatest regret.”

“However, returning to see the both of you will be my greatest motivation. It will give me strength.” He smiled as he said, “Stay here. This alternate plane of space is very isolated. Xia Fangyu won’t find you here.”

That lady arched her brows, “If not for our child, I won’t be afraid of Xia Fangyu. He wants to kill me to avenge his son, but my sister also died in his hands. I promised you that I will let matters of the past rest. But if he comes to seek trouble, I am fine. But I’m just scared that he will harm our child.”

Wen Chiyang said, “In this world, only the Supreme Heavenly Mirror can find till here. But I believe that if something bad happens to me, Junior Yan will remain silent on account of our ties. After all, Xia Han was killed as he tried to violate you and your sister. Apart from him, there were no other lives lost.”

“Although Junior Yan and I have some differences in terms of some things, we are still senior and junior from the same sect for thousands of years already. From the day he entered the sect, I taught him and built up his foundation for him. I watched him grow to become an adult.”

The lady who was called Yun’er was silent for a while. After that, she smiled, “Yes, you don’t have to worry about us here. Go and do what you need to do. I believe that you will return to us safely just like you did in the last War of the Two Worlds. I will be waiting for you here.”

Wen Chiyang smiled and kissed her forehead. After that, he turned and left the building.

The second light projection that was restored ended. Only Wen Chiyang remained in front of everyone’s eyes now. He looked lonely as he remained in this building.

Lin Feng and the rest also understood now. This building that they were in was constructed from the powers of Wen Chiyang, which reformed the place that Wen Chiyang once lived with his beloved wife. It’s only that over here, his wife and unborn kid was not around. It was only him alone here.

As he was the only one here, this hero revealed the fragile side of his.

However, an emotionless man might not be a true hero. Lin Feng and the rest wouldn’t underestimate him because of this side to him.

Wen Chiyang’s gaze flashed with a look of worry, “I landed in the Netherworld Sea with my critically injured self. Although I managed to escape death, I’m still stuck in the Netherworld Sea. So many years have passed. I wonder how Yun’er and my kid is doing?”

He scanned the building and sighed, “After today, I will explore the core of the Netherworld Sea. I can’t come back here anymore.”

His loneliness only lasted for an instant. Very soon, Wen Chiyang revealed his valiant side again, “If I succeed this time, I will have the opportunity of returning to the Greater World. In that way, I can reunite with Yun’er and my child.”

The light projection ended at this point. Wen Chiyang’s figure turned to thousands of light spots that disappeared. It turned out that this figure of his was just another projection through his mana.

Lin Feng and the others were silent. After a long while, Yang Qing’s voice sounded a little dry and bitter as eh said, “Xia Fangyu must be the real name of Emperor Xia? Xia Han seems to be his son then.”

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Li Yuanfang were silent as they nodded their heads.

Li Yuanfang said in a deep voice, “I never heard that Wen Chiyang had a wife and a child that’s alive. Where are they now?”

Zhu Yi shook his head, “It’s still too early to discuss. Whatever we know is too little. But this wife of Wen Chiyang is a little weird though…”

He looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan nodded his head, “I can feel it too. But I did not meet her face to face, but through the remnants of the mana that projected the images. It’s only the second time, so I am unsure.”

Lin Feng squinted his eyes and thought for a while before saying, “All of you are right.”

“Wen Chiyang’s wife is a demon.”
