According to the secrets learned by Lu Tianming, Yin Tianzi is a figure from ancient times. It was a glorious era when numerous emperors coexisted, and powerful beings filled the heavens and earth. Only those forces with great emperors could be called top-tier powers, standing at the pinnacle of all races.
Among countless top-tier forces, the name Underworld shone like a beacon in the darkness, both mysterious and awe-inspiring. Its founder is none other than the current Yin Tianzi, a true emperor-level figure.
When Lu Tianming learned this truth, a look of surprise crossed his face. However, facing the junior's gaffe, Yin Tianzi merely smiled lightly, a smile imbued with a sense of calm regarding the passage of time.
"Young one need not be surprised," Yin Tianzi's voice was deep, as if it could reach into Lu Tianming's soul. "Though I am an emperor, I cannot exist forever. In this world, if one is not immortal, they will eventually become dust and return to nothingness." His words carried a profound loneliness.
Upon hearing this, waves of emotion stirred within Lu Tianming's heart. He slowly spoke, his voice tinged with confusion: "I do not understand what you mean, senior. How can you be certain that I would come to this place?"
Yin Tianzi's eyes sparkled with deep light as he responded thoughtfully: "Though I am but a remnant of imperial thought, in my past cultivation I could trace back to the past and glimpse into the future. However, when I attempted to observe your fate, I found you shrouded in a layer of mist, as if some great power had intervened to obscure the heavenly secrets."
"Such means are not wielded by ordinary individuals; only an emperor can achieve this." He carefully sensed the current state of heaven and earth but found that the laws were unclear and the heavenly path was hazy. There were signs of an emperor's presence; this was indeed quite strange.
Lu Tianming pondered silently: Could it be that something unknown was hidden within him? Then he thought of his mysterious master—could his master be an emperor? But upon further reflection, he dismissed that possibility.
Yin Tianzi's gaze was piercing as he observed Lu Tianming's ever-changing expression, contemplating inwardly: This young man is extraordinary and harbors many secrets.
After a moment, he gathered his thoughts and spoke slowly with undeniable authority: "This emperor has been waiting for you for some time because we are both possessors of the Reincarnation Body."
The Reincarnation Body is rare; its contained power and mysteries are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. My inheritance can only be cultivated through the Reincarnation Body to comprehend its true essence.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianming felt a surge of ecstatic joy within him. However, he understood that in this world of cultivation, human hearts are difficult to gauge—especially when facing an unfathomably powerful figure like Yin Tianzi.
Thus, he suppressed his excitement and maintained a calm demeanor, though a hint of vigilance flickered in his eyes. He cautiously asked: "Is what you say true? This matter of inheritance is significant; I cannot easily believe it."
Yet within his heart, Lu Tianming was calculating: What is this old fellow’s true purpose in suddenly appearing and proposing such tempting conditions?
Could it be that you want to possess me through some means?
As if sensing the doubts deep within Lu Tianming's heart, Yin Tianzi slowly spoke, his voice carrying an undeniable authority: "I suppose you're afraid that I will take over your body, aren't you?"
These words struck like a sharp sword, piercing directly into Lu Tianming's heart.
Upon having his thoughts laid bare by Yin Tianzi, Lu Tianming couldn't help but change his expression slightly.
However, instead of being displeased, Yin Tianzi burst into hearty laughter, his voice filled with a boldness and freedom: "You underestimate me far too much! I, Yin Tianzi, have always acted with integrity. Think of my past—commanding the winds and clouds, sweeping across the continent—how could I stoop to such despicable and underhanded tactics?"
Hearing this, a wave of shame washed over Lu Tianming's face. He respectfully replied, "I am but a junior, inexperienced and shallow in understanding. I am well aware of the treachery of human hearts, and thus I may have offended you earlier. I hope you will not hold it against me."
Yin Tianzi listened with an indifferent expression and waved his hand dismissively. He said in a deep voice, "It's no problem. Being cautious is not a bad thing. The path of cultivation is fraught with dangers; if one cannot remain vigilant at all times, how can they stand firm in this vast world of Xiu Zhen?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianming felt somewhat reassured. However, he soon heard Yin Tianzi continue: "But don't get too ahead of yourself; the fact that you have come here proves that this secret realm has revealed itself to the outside world."
