Henrik greeted him respectfully. “Greetings, Master.”
The old man nodded lightly, then turned to James. He smiled and said, “I finally got to see you in person, James.”
Knowing the old man had existed since the early days of the Twelfth Universe, James also addressed him respectfully. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sir.”
The Unmatched Emperor waved his hand, and a table and some chairs appeared outside the wooden house. He gestured to his guests and said, “Sit.”
James sat himself down on one of the chairs.
His eyes were glued on the Unmatched Emperor as he tried to discern his cultivation rank. However, he could not sense anything from the Unmatched Emperor, and it was like there was a void in the man’s body.
The Unmatched Emperor smiled lightly and said, “I’ve already transcended cultivation ranks and embarked on a different path.”
Hearing this, James was startled.
‘He’s transcended the way of cultivation and embarked on a different path?’ thought James.
The Unmatched Emperor smiled politely. “If you have any questions, ask away.”
James inquired, “Before the creation of the Thirteenth Universe in the Primeval Age, Yukia handed you a pouch, didn’t she? What did it contain?”
“The Primeval Age? That’s a very long time ago.”
The Unmatched Emperor pondered deeply about his answer. After a while, he said, “She did pass me a pouch, but it didn’t have much inside it. There was only a message saying that you’d go to the new universe on behalf of the Twelfth Universe and that you’d go through a horrible ordeal. She mentioned it’d be tough for you to overcome the event and survive. I was also instructed to send someone to the new universe to gather a great number of herbs.”
The Unmatched Emperor spoke offhandedly as if he were talking about something insignificant. However, his words made James’ blood race. His suspicion that Yukia had been secretly guiding him forward was true.
“Who exactly is Yukia?” James wondered aloud.
