The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 1965

"Boy, I've told you once how I left the Divine Continent and went to the Prime Martial World.

It was mainly because of something that I accidentally heard. It was about a mysterious cave.

I made up my mind and was preparing to head for that cave.

Somehow one of my friends learnt about that. He wanted to join me but I refused.

After that, he hurt me very badly and forced me to tell him about the location of that cave.

Later, I saw a chance and ran away from his subordinates when he was away.

It was a lucky coincidence that I triggered an ancient teleportation array as I ran. That is how I was teleported to the Prime Martial World,"

the Flame Emperor started to narrate everything to Austin.

"Yes, I remember that you did tell me earlier about it. I remember that."

Austin nodded.

"Well, the real reason is more complicated than what I told you.

When I first met you, I felt that you were just a weak little boy.

So I didn't tell everything about it to you. It's not complete information!"

The Flame Emperor sighed which meant that he was convincing himself to reveal something more now.

"I am actually a member of the royal family from the Cloud Empire on the Divine Continent.

My grandfather was the emperor.

For some unknown reason, there is a very strange phenomenon related to my clan. It is that there are less men and more women in our clan.

Most of our family members were females. There were always lesser men.

You wouldn't believe but there was a period when there was only one boy of each generation. That period lasted nine generations.

My grandfather had two sons.

They were my father and my uncle.

So, at that time, either my father or my uncle had the right to take the thrown. One of them would be the successor.

My father and uncle had been fighting, openly and secretly, over the years to be the crown prince and future emperor.

Later, grandfather decided to let my father accede to the throne and announced him as the crown prince.

The reason for my grandfather's decision was that my uncle had only one son. My cousin wasn't talented in cultivation and idled away time.

On the other hand, my father has two sons. My brother and I were talented and promising."

The Flame Emperor went on to tell Austin about himself in detail.

Austin listened patiently. Indeed he was curious to know more about the Flame Emperor.

"Grandfather was about to abdicate and my father was about to become the emperor.

That was when something unexpected happened.

My brother was attacked and he lost his cultivation base. Since then, he had become bedridden and was unable to move normally.

Meanwhile, I had heard that there was a cave in the Cloud Empire and cultivators who entered it could become immortal.

As you know very well, being an immortal is the highest goal for all the cultivators in our Divine Continent.

We would be keen to know the methods or anything related to immortals.

Hence, I immediately took my men to that cave.

Unexpectedly, a person whom I once happened to know was already there. We were actually not very close. Somehow he got the news and rushed to the cave. He asked me to allow him to accompany me to explore the cave.

I refused to have his company.

After that, he caught me off guard and attacked me.

He had also got help from a dozen of strong cultivators who were with him. Attacked by them, I was badly wounded and my spiritual soul was almost shattered. I had to use a secret weapon to escape form them at that time.

My friend-turned-foe chased me all the way until I accidentally entered the Prime Martial World.

But before I was transported to the Prime Martial World, I was surprised when I heard him mentioning my uncle's name.

Now when I recall what happened at that time, I find it fishy. I suspect that my uncle was behind all of it. I feel he was behind the accident of my younger brother and also my being attacked.

I strongly believe that he set up the incidents that happened with my brother and me.

If my guess is right, my uncle is the emperor of the Cloud Empire now," the Flame Emperor said to Austin.

He seemed to be sad about it.

"I see.
