Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"That was expected," Ye Tian Yun said, "Wang Yao would have never helped my clan, but that's not what I meant. I am asking about him… I mean, Uncle Wang. Did Wang Yao try to save Uncle Wang or not?"

"No…" Wang Yao sighed, "That person is very self-centered. To him, my parents were just random people, and during that event, Wang Yao personally led the army which led to my father's demise."

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "I don't know what to say. His reaction was kind of… expected."

Wang Yao nodded, "True, anyway, I hope you agree with the deal? Since the information I gave you is definitely worth it."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "I will agree if you can answer one more of my questions."

"Oh? Ask away."

Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin and asked, "Where is this Wang Yao from? Is all that multiverse bullshit really true?"

Wang Yao shrugged, "I don't know if the multiverse exists or not, but I am sure about one thing - Wang Yao is from our universe."

"Our universe?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Is he a cultivator?"

"No," Wang Yao shook his head, "He knows about cultivation, in fact, there are even legends of cultivators in his world, but he was not a cultivator in his real world."

Ye Tian Yun lightly nodded, "Ah, I guess I am still a frog in the well. There's still a lot for me to know."

Wang Yao nodded, "True. Anyway, for now, focus on reaching the Saint Realm as soon as possible. Once you have all the Tokens, you will be able to directly jump to the Saint Realm."

"All the tokens…" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "That's impossible. I don't know the location of all of them."

Wang Yao shrugged, "Well, you can get the Emblems tho, right?"

Ye Tian Yun lightly nodded, "Four emblems - Time, Soul, Chaos, and Luck. I know the location of all four. Except for the Chaos, I will get all four of them."

"Hm?" Wang Yao smiled, "Well, we will see about that. But still, have a backup plan with you. What if the Emblems reject?"

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Hm, true. Let's see when the time comes. For now, I will agree with the deal. I will allow you to see the outside world, but there's one condition."

"Condition?"

"Yeah. And that is, I can block the view anytime I want and for however long I want. So don't try to do anything funny."

Wang Yao shrugged, "I am not someone who will easily break someone's trust."

Ye Tian Yun let out a long breath, "We will see about that. I will get back to the guys now."

"Hmm," Wang Yao added, "Alright. At least I won't be bored anymore."

Ye Tian Yun smiled and brought his attention back to the spirit vein.

"Leave this to me." Wang Yao suddenly said, "I will plant this vein in this space."

Ye Tian Yun was surprised, "You know how to?"

"Yeah," Wang Yao nodded, "I haven't tried this before, but I do know of a way. But, because the laws of time are different in this place, I don't know how long it will take for this vein to grow."

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "It's alright. I can always get some more roots. And I think, at least for the next year, this should suffice."

"Yeah." Wang Yao nodded, "If you can reach the peak of the Core Formation Realm within a year, it would be great."

YE Itan Yun smiled and then disappeared from the cultivation space.

Wang Yao stood alone in the cultivation space and after a few moments, he sighed, "Let's get to work then."

As he said, the view in front of him suddenly changed.

He found himself in a cave.

'Hm? What's going on…!?' Wang Yao was shocked by this sudden change.

'Relax. You're seeing through my eyes.' Ye Tian Yun, who could hear his words from the back of his mind, replied.

'Ah… yeah… this cave does look familiar.'

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "That's good to know."

In the cave, Ye Tian Yun looked around and headed for the exit.

He had already lightened the path as soon as he stepped out of the Cultivation space.

Outside, only a few minutes had passed.

Ye Tian Yun stood on the outgrown tree, and then slowly began to fly.

Within a few seconds, he reached the top of the cliff and landed.

-BOOM!

The sudden sound of an explosion surprised Ye Tian Yun.

Immediately he spread his spirit sense and flew towards the bonfire made by his friends.

But just as his body rose by a few feet above the surface, cracks formed on the surface and there was another explosion.

-BOOM!

"The fuc-!"

-BOOM!

Nonstop explosions puzzled him as he flew straight towards the bonfire.

To his surprise, he noticed that everything was alright - none of them was hurt.

Rather, they were staring in his direction with frowns and were on guard.

'The mountain…'

Ye Tian Yun immediately frowned and looked at the surface.

It didn't take long for him to know that the explosions were actually coming from within the mountain!

"What is going on…? Is it because of the Spirit Vein I took?" Ye Tian Yun frowned.

Ye Tian Yun stepped down on the surface but made sure that others didn't notice him flying.

He then ran and appeared in front of the group.

"What's happening!?" 

The others were surprised by his appearance but immediately regained their composure as Jun Xie pointed at the mountain and said, "There are explosions coming from that mountain. We were sitting and suddenly the whole surface shook."

Wu Qingwu remarked, "I am afraid we may have to face a landslide… But isn't that the direction in which Gao Xuan went a few minutes ago?"

Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes, "You guys stay put, I will go and check it out."

"I will come with you." Zheng Xian and Jun Xie said simultaneously.

Ye Tian Yun smiled but shook his head, "No… you guys should leave this place and get away from this place. If a landslide does happen, I don't know how much time you will have to save yourself."

"What about you?" Bai Qing'er spoke. Even though she was the most silent member in the group, and always seemed quite distant, right now, her expression was full of worry.

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Don't worry about me, I have my ways of getting out. And if the situation gets worse, I won't risk too much."

Without waiting for any response, Ye Tian Yun ran towards the mountain.
