"The strongest heaven among the thirty-three layers of immortal realms?" Qin Wentian's heart was filled with rage. From one of the memory fragments, he saw that his parents gave their everything to him. He could feel the closeness of kinship, and from that time on, he understood that his parents didn't abandon him. On the contrary, because they loved him too much, they would rather choose to part with him and sever their connection, not wanting anyone to know of his existence.
Even if one day his father was hunted down in his second life, there would still be no one who knows that he, Qin Wentian, the son of Qin Yuanfeng, existed.
"What about my mother? Is she fine?" Qin Wentian asked.
"I have no idea as well. It was after your mother was brought back to her clan did your father returned to his and fought that last battle. I believed he has already anticipated the ending and although he did die once, he didn't really die, and managed to start anew with a second life. As for the place your father chose to cultivate in during his second lifetime, I'm sure you have already guessed it." Uncle Black spoke.
"The particle world I was from?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed.
"Yes, that place is the place your father spent his second lifetime. He was the same as you, growing up there, along with some of us old crippled fellows. However, it has been a very long time ago." Uncle Black smiled. Qin Wentian's eyes flashed before he smiled. "That particle world, not only have vestiges of my past deeds, the past footprints of my father can be found there as well. I once saw the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect in a memory. That must be the major power father had created when he was cultivating there."
"Mhm, as your father's cultivation grew stronger, he naturally didn't remain in that particle world. He went out to roam the stars, and should have also arrived at the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, leaving behind the vestiges of his deeds. After that, your mother found your father. Although countless years passed, their emotions for each other were still the same. They finally had you, and gave their everything to you."
Uncle Black smiled, his eyes were actually red with tears. Qin Wentian thought back to the memory fragment which he saw right after his birth. At that time, his parents gave their most treasured things to him and sent him to the particle world.
"After you were born, your parents asked me to bring you away. They have actually been to the particle world to see you before, but they still decisively chose to sever their relationship, choosing to bury your existence, not letting anyone learn of it. Even if they were hunted down one day, none of their enemies would know that you existed. As for you, you grew up in the particle world your father grew up in. Us old fellows were your only companions and we naturally hope you would rise up and walk on the path of glory, fighting against the heavenly gods and devils in the strongest sky one day." A strong hint of anticipation flared in Uncle Black's eyes.
"Uncle Black, I will definitely do that." Qin Wentian lightly spoke, but there was an iron-like resolution in his eyes.
"Mhm, I believe you will. Once, when you were in this world, regardless of the dangers you faced, we all had to pretend we didn't know anything and couldn't see it. We don't wish for you to have too much external help. Because, in order for you to achieve what your father achieved, you can only depend on yourself."
"However Uncle Black, you guys wouldn't just watch on if I am really at risk of dying right? Back then in the Pill Emperor Hall, when I had no hope left, didn't you all secretly appear?" Qin Wentian smiled. Uncle Black also smiled but he didn't say anything.
"You already have your current cultivation base. In the future, us old fellows would have no way to aid you. Walk your path well and remember that you will have to head towards that strongest heaven in the future. The strength level there is so high that you cannot imagine as you are now. This Azure Mystic Immortal Realms are the most remote world out of the thirty-three heavens. This is the reason why your father chose to leave you in a particle world near here. This place is the furthest away from the strongest heaven, furthest from all enemies."
"Uncle Black, you all have to take good care of yourselves too." Qin Wentian smiled. The strongest heaven? He would head over there in the future for sure. Uncle Black said that when he reached that step, he would naturally know who his enemies were. One could very well imagine that those enemies, were none other than his father's clan. What sort of peak were they standing on exactly?
"Don't worry. We will still hide in the remote corners of some tiny worlds and watch you ascend to the peak. When you finally reach there, you can tell the people of that clan that they were wrong to make that choice in the past. That, was their mistake, and they have to pay the price for it." Uncle Black seriously spoke. He was the one who watched Qin Wentian grow up. No matter who it was, everyone had to start at the most basic beginning. He aided Qin Wentian to build up his foundation and now, everything in the future would have to depend on Qin Wentian himself.
His anticipation for Qin Wentian was too high. But if it wasn't high enough, it wouldn't be sufficient for them to take revenge.
"This debt… I will definitely make them repay this in full." Qin Wentian's voice was cold.
"Alright, I will leave first. Walk your path well in the future. If your parents are still alive, they are definitely waiting for you in some remote parts of the universe, waiting to see you reach the peak, trampling upon the heavenly gods and devils." Uncle Black smiled at Qin Wentian. After that, his spirit figure in Qin Wentian's immortal sense began to dissipate, turning illusory before disappearing completely.
Qin Wentian opened his eyes as sharpness gleamed within. His fists were tightly clenched, he stared up at the skies as he pondered. The thirty-three heavens, his enemies were at the strongest heaven?
An extremely powerful ancient clan? He would reach that step in the future and stand before them.
After that, Qin Wentian closed his eyes once more as he sent his consciousness into the tiny astral-being. He then sent vast amounts of astral energy flooding into it. He started to open the scattered memory fragments, as the cruel scenes of what happened back then were engraved into his mind. Back then after he saw his father being killed in the memories, he didn't open any other fragments for a long time after that. Because, he felt that what he had seen was already enough. But now, he wanted to know more, he wanted to know everything.
When those memory fragments unlocked, more scenes of his father's growth appeared in his mind and he could gradually differentiate between the memories of his father's first and second lifetimes.
During his first lifetime, his father was wild and unrestrained, daring to do anything and had enough power to back it up. During the second lifetime, his father was more low-profile, his wildness retracted as he grew more mature. Although the only scene of him was during the memory when he was born, Qin Wentian could already clearly feel the emotions his parents had for him. He knew that when Uncle Black brought him to this world, his parents must have secretly came by to see him many times as well.
"RUMBLE!" Qin Wentian clenched his fist as an explosive sound rang out. He still had no way to open the most core memory fragments in the tiny astral-being. His aura fluctuated before it dissipated. He then drew in a deep breath and walked out, entering his bedroom.
"Wentian, what's wrong?" Qingcheng saw a faint trace of hurt in Qin Wentian's eyes. She walked towards him as her gentle and beautiful eyes seemed to be able to melt all his negativity away.
"Qingcheng." Qin Wentian stepped forward and embraced her. Qingcheng leaned against him, hugging him tightly.
Although this was just a tiny and insignificant action, it did give Qin Wentian strength. She had accompanied Qin Wentian all the way until now ever since they were young. They had experienced too many things and she has also seen the things Qin Wentian had to endure. Even the despair they felt at the Pill Emperor Hall back then, Qin Wentian still had that iron-like resolution in his eyes. She was very clear how strong his character was. But now, this was the first time she saw traces of hurt within his eyes.
When she thought of this, Mo Qingcheng felt her heart melting too. She quietly hugged Qin Wentian, allowing him to feel her warmth.
"Everything will be fine, I will be by your side, accompanying you forever." Mo Qingcheng lightly spoke. Her head laid on Qin Wentian's shoulder as a radiant smile appeared on her face. Within that smile, however, there was a trace of sadness too. She knew the pressure on Qin Wentian was extremely great. Everyone was depending on him.
With greater strength, there naturally would be greater responsibilities. He had to protect everyone close to him. When he faced powerful opponents, he could only forge ahead relentlessly, like a man made from steel.
However, no matter how strong Qin Wentian was, he is still ultimately, a human. As a human, there would naturally be times he was fatigued. Right now, she actually felt sorrow, hating herself for her uselessness, for not being able to share the burden with him.
"Qingcheng, thank you." Qin Wentian could feel the warmth from Qingcheng. He was moved in his heart. Qingcheng had no regrets, choosing to follow him despite him not being there to accompany her on many occasions. She had no complaints, always waiting for him, longing for him in silence.
"Dumbo…" Mo Qingcheng had a mischievous smile on her face. Qin Wentian's heart trembled as a smile finally appeared on his face too.
After he was more clear about the story of his parents, his anger surged up into the sky and the pressure on him further increased. He could tell that even if his cultivation base was at the same level as the ancient emperors, it would still be insufficient to face the enemies of his father.
At this moment, Qin Wentian's countenance suddenly changed as his eyes gleamed coldly.
"Qingcheng, Little Rascal seems to have encountered some trouble." The two of them separated. Qin Wentian stared at Mo Qingcheng as he spoke.
"What happened?" Mo Qingcheng asked.
"I can't be sure, but he seems to be in a panic and great hurry, the tone of the signal was filled with agitation. I wonder what exactly has happened." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. As his cultivation base grew stronger, the connection between him and Little Rascal grew stronger as well. At this moment Little Rascal, who was cultivating in the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range, actually sent him a signal.
"What are you planning to do? Will you go over?" Mo Qingcheng asked.
"I will head there to find him, I'm afraid that little fellow might have encountered danger." Qin Wentian spoke. Although Qin Wentian sent Little Rascal and Purgatory there to temper themselves, how could he be at ease if the two of them really encountered danger?
"Mhm." Mo Qingcheng nodded lightly as she smiled. "Go on ahead, I will wait for you here."
"Okay, let me go ask the Emperor Lord first." After speaking, Qin Wentian departed and sped towards the emperor palace where the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord was at.
"Wentian, come to my place." Even before Qin Wentian reached the emperor palace. another voice rang out in his ear. He shifted his direction and soon arrived at Bai Wuya's palace.
"Senior brother." Qin Wentian called out as he walked in.
"A beast tide was seen in the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range, there is a major incident happening." Bai Wuya stated.
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. There were many demons in the immortal realms who could take on the form of humans and were capable of logical thought. Why would there suddenly be a beast tide?
"From the news I received from the Heavenly Talisman Realm, at the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range, bordering to the northern regions, there is a great beast tide forming there. There might be supremely powerful demons emerging from the depths of the Desolate Mountains." Bai Wuya spoke. He then continued, "The major powers of the northern regions are taking this matter very seriously and very soon, the entire immortal realms would receive this news."
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed, the signal Little Rascal sent him. Could it be related to the great beast tide that's happening?
