325: Father and son meet!

After Xuanyuan Tianhuan left the Abyssal Heaven Sacred Sea Palace, he walked alone above the Starry Sky Secret Sea, treading on stars, and the substances within the Starry Sky Secret Sea could not approach his body.

The immortal might contained within him seemed capable of crushing everything in this starry sky.

And at this moment, a Masked Man appeared directly in front of him.

Xuanyuan Tianhuan's steps halted, and he looked at the person in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed.

The Masked Man also looked at him, his gaze calm and very steady. The two stared at each other for a long time, and the atmosphere was strange.

Finally, it was Xuanyuan Tianhuan who spoke first: "What? Now that we meet, you don't even call me father anymore?"

The Masked Man said in a deep voice: "Even a tiger does not devour its cub. A person who can ruthlessly kill his own son does not deserve to be called a father."

Xuanyuan Tianhuan smiled faintly, his expression undisturbed, and said: "You came to see me alone, aren't you afraid I'll kill you again?"

"Tian Chen, since you've been resurrected, you should also know why I wanted to kill you back then."

"Father had no choice. Your talent was too strong, so strong that it suffocated father, so strong that the Xuanyuan Sword only recognized you as its master, making me, the Clan Chief at the time, feel completely insignificant. You completely broke free from my control!"

"Therefore, I had no choice but to kill you!"

The Masked Man listened to Xuanyuan Tianhuan's words, frowned, and then said: "I'm not here to listen to your explanation of the past."

"You don't need to give any reason. From the moment you pierced my Soul with the Xuanyuan Sword, the father-son relationship between us was already settled."

"As for you wanting to kill me now, I can guarantee that you will fail."

Xuanyuan Tianhuan's lips curled into a cold smile: "Then tell me, what is your purpose in coming to see me?"

The Masked Man looked directly into his eyes and said: "I am here for only one piece of advice."

"Don't try to mess with the Sea Eye Seal."

"Once the Seal is undone, you will die, and the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan will also be destroyed."

Xuanyuan Tianhuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Did Thatched Cottage's Third Master tell you?"

The Masked Man did not deny it: "There is nothing in this world that can be hidden from him."

"Therefore, if you only undo the Sea Eye Seal, you will not only die yourself but will also completely become the sinner of the entire Xuanyuan Ancient Clan."

Xuanyuan Tianhuan snorted coldly: "Hmph! I don't believe he's as divine as you say!"

"Tian Chen, I will definitely undo the Sea Eye Seal!"

"Thatched Cottage killed people from my Xuanyuan Ancient Clan. If I don't create some trouble for them in retaliation, wouldn't I, this Xuanyuan Ancestor, be too useless?"

"If you want to stop me, then come to the Endless Sea in ten days!"

"At that time, I will be waiting for you!!!"

Afterward, Xuanyuan Tianhuan's figure left this starry sky.

Seeing his father so stubborn, the Masked Man's eyes showed disappointment, and he said nothing, turning to leave.

...

Thatched Cottage.

Third Master sat alone under the familiar pavilion, playing chess, his blue robe flowing freely.

The sound of space tearing came, and the Masked Man stepped out of the spatial rift, returning to Thatched Cottage.

"I told you, persuasion is useless."

"If you don't want to watch the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan perish, you can only become the new ruler of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan and reclaim the Xuanyuan Sword within these ten days."

"Otherwise, once ten days pass, the outcome will be unchangeable."

The Masked Man stood beside him after returning, and Third Master didn't look at him, his eyes fixed on his chessboard, speaking casually.

The Masked Man hesitated, and finally asked: "Master, is Thatched Cottage not going to act?"

"If the Sea Eye Seal is as you say, then its terrifying degree is probably second only to the Yuan Calamity."

"Once such a disaster appears, it will harm the entire Divine Continent Pure Land, and even the entire Yuan Realm."

Third Master's expression was calm, and he shook his head, saying: "Letting everything take its natural course can minimize losses."

"Deliberately trying to stop it is not a good thing."

"Besides, Teacher and Senior Brother are not here. To be honest, in the current Yuan Realm, apart from those who are still recovering, no one can defeat your father."

The Masked Man was somewhat incredulous: "Master, if you were to act, he would absolutely not be able to..."

Before he finished speaking, Third Master laughed, shaking his head and saying: "Tian Chen, you've followed me for so many years, when have you ever seen me act or fight someone?"

"Don't you still know that my Realm is not fake? My combat power, to some extent, is even inferior to several Junior Brothers."

"What I am least good at is fighting and sparring with others."

The Masked Man was somewhat difficult to understand: "Master, you have mastered so many miraculous methods, how can you only be a Great Master?"

Third Master smiled subtly: "I have never lied to anyone about this. I was indeed born unable to fight, and I hate fighting."

"Violence, to me, is always the last resort."

"So Tian Chen, I can't help with the matters of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan."

"If you can overcome the hurdle in your heart and reclaim the Xuanyuan Sword, then the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan will naturally survive."

"Otherwise, the moment the Sea Eye Seal is undone, the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan will officially become dust in history."

"The decision is entirely up to you."

After Third Master finished speaking, he focused on his chess game and said no more.

The Masked Man lowered his head, leaving the pavilion as if in a Divided Soul state.

He needed to think, to calm down...

PS: Here, let me introduce the timeline of the various eras in the Yuan Realm.

The current Yuan Calamity has experienced at least 30 eras of rise and fall.

The first era: Nine Ancestors Era (also the initial era of the Yuan Realm).

Then, after the Nine Ancestors Era perished, more than a dozen eras continued to be born and extended...

Then the 20th era: the ancient era (where the Emperor's Fall Calamity occurred, which is the era where Afuya and the Blood Demon Emperor Lord were).

Then the 30th era: which is the current era.

The text only introduces these three eras where the Yuan Calamity will descend, but it does not mean that there are no strong individuals in those other eras.

It's just that these few eras are the most prominent, so they are highlighted.

The Sea Eye Seal has no relation to the Nine Ancestors Era and the ancient era; it is something that happened in one of the eras in between them, which will be explained later in the text.
