When Si Cheng heard that Sheng Xiao risked his life to travel through time to save Yu Huang, his impression of Sheng Xiao improved. "Heh, he's quite manly," Si Cheng said.

Hearing this, Prime Emperor Taixu said, "There aren't many young people like them in the cultivation world nowadays. When I found out that they got married at such a young age, I thought it was a little ridiculous. Now, I think that as long as they meet a suitable person, getting married early is no big deal."

Upon hearing Prime Emperor Taixu's words, Si Cheng suddenly asked, "Mentor, are you very envious of them?"

Prime Emperor Taixu said, "A friend in need is a friend indeed. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends. Who doesn't want to have a significant other who is willing to sacrifice his life for you?" Prime Emperor Taixu was praising Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang's solid relationship.

However, Si Cheng said, "If this happened to you, I also would have traveled through time to save you."

Prime Emperor Taixu was speechless.

There was no way to continue this conversation.

The tea was ready.

Si Cheng poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Prime Emperor Taixu with both hands. "Mentor, be careful. The tea is hot."

Seeing that his mentor was silent, Si Cheng realized that he had gone overboard.

Not daring to continue teasing Prime Emperor Taixu, Si Cheng lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Then why did you come to look for me today?" His mentor usually hid from him, so why would he take the initiative to look for him? He must be here for something serious.

As expected, after hearing Si Cheng's words, Prime Emperor Taixu immediately disregarded the awkwardness and got down to business.

Prime Emperor Taixu pondered over it and said, "I heard that Patriarch Jing of the Divination Continent went to the Divine Lock Abyss a few years ago and was severely injured when he returned. The two of you have always been close. Si Cheng, tell me the truth. What did Patriarch Jing encounter in the Divine Lock Abyss?"

Si Cheng didn't expect Prime Emperor Taixu to come for this.

They usually didn't tell outsiders about this, but since Prime Emperor Taixu asked, Si Cheng naturally wouldn't hide it. Si Cheng frowned and his expression became serious as he said, "He said that there's an eye hidden inside. He was seriously injured by that eye."

When he heard this answer, Prime Emperor Taixu's expression changed slightly.

An eye…

This was exactly the same as what Yu Huang had said.

"What kind of eye was it?"

Si Cheng said, "Black, strange, and terrifying eyes." Si Cheng subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette again, but thinking about how his mentor hated the smell of cigarettes the most, he could only stuff the cigarette he took out back into the cigarette box.

Si Cheng crossed his legs and played with the black bead bracelet on his wrist as he said, "Mentor, you also know that Patriarch Jing's divination skills are superb. A few years ago, he divined that a calamity would happen in the Divination Continent, and that calamity was related to the Divine Lock Abyss, so he wanted to go deep into the Divine Lock Abyss to check the situation. Unexpectedly, he almost lost his life there."

After saying that, Si Cheng asked Prime Emperor Taixu, "Mentor, why are you asking this?" Recalling that his mentor had taken the initiative to mention Yu Huang's kidnapping, Si Cheng asked thoughtfully, "Could it be that Yu Huang's kidnapping is also related to Patriarch Jing's injury?"

But these two things didn't seem to have anything to do with each other.

"It's a long story." As the director of the Cang Lang Continent's Space Administration, it was Si Cheng's duty to protect the Cang Lang Continent and he had the right to know all the dangers that the Cang Lang Continent was about to face, so Prime Emperor Taixu conveyed what Yu Huang had said to Prime Emperor Si Cheng word for word.

When Si Cheng heard this, his expression changed drastically. "Such a thing actually happened on the Holy Spirit Continent?"

No wonder Mingjue died!

Prime Emperor Taixu lamented, "Yu Huang thinks that the Divine Lock Abyss, the Black Eye, and the place called the Abyssal Chasm on the Holy Spirit Continent are actually interlinked. And these special desperate places are the tentacles 'it' hid in the three thousand worlds. I thought of how Patriarch Jing went to the Divine Lock Abyss a few years ago and almost lost his life when he returned, so I wanted to ask you about the exact situation. It seems that Yu Huang's idea is very likely right."

With that, Prime Emperor Taixu suddenly stood up and said, "I have to go to the Black Eye to take a look."

If he didn't see it with his own eyes, Prime Emperor Taixu wouldn't be at ease.

Si Cheng stood up as well and said without hesitation, "Mentor, I'll go with you."

"There's no need. When the Black Eye is in danger, even Prime Emperor powerhouses will find it difficult to survive if they fall into it. I'll go." Prime Emperor Taixu patted Si Cheng's shoulder and said sternly, "If I don't come back, you know what to do."

With that, Prime Emperor Taixu turned to leave.

Si Cheng grabbed Prime Emperor Taixu's arm and said firmly, "If it's confirmed that Yu Huang's words are true, then this matter isn't only about the Cang Lang Continent and the Holy Spirit Continent, but also about the entire three thousand worlds. Mentor, I'm the director of the Space Administration, so it's my duty to investigate and eliminate all potential dangers in the Cang Lang Continent. Mentor, either I go alone or you accompany me. In short, I have to go to the Black Eye."

Si Cheng pouted stubbornly.

Since Prime Emperor Taixu's attitude was so firm, he could only agree. "Alright, let's go together."

The master and disciple disappeared from Si Cheng's tea toom at the same time. A few minutes later, their figures appeared in the demon beast primitive forest at the southern end of the Northern Yan Cang Continent, the northern part of the Central Continent, at almost the same time.

This was where the Black Eye was.

The Black Eye and the abyss rift were both hidden in the center of the Demonic Beast Forest. Looking down from the sky, it appeared like an eye embedded in the forest, occupying a place in this dense primitive forest.

Si Cheng and Prime Emperor Taixu stood on a cliff. The black eye of the abyss was under their feet.

Endless black fog filled the abyss.

At this moment, it was dawn. The scorching sun shone on the ground, but it was unable to pass through the fog.

Si Cheng stared at the black fog in front of him as he said with a serious expression, "Five years ago, the Space Administration sent people to patrol this place. At that time, there was no such fog here."

More than ten thousand years ago, accompanied by a huge earthquake, an abyss rift appeared in the forest in the south of the Northern Yan Cang Realm. It was this black eye.

At that time, the experts were filled with vigilance and wariness towards the sudden appearance of this abyss rift.

It was said that for the first hundred years after the birth of the Black Eye, the Space Administration had sent staff here all year round to silently record the changes here to prevent it from mutating and posing a threat to the Cang Lang Continent.

However, after observing here for a hundred years, they discovered that although the energy at the bottom of this crack was chaotic and no one dared to approach, every morning, the abyss crack would spit out incomparably dense spiritual power to the outside world.

As time passed, the experts stopped being wary of the Black Eye.

Later on, everyone accepted the existence of the Black Eye.
