Uchiha Shin followed Eastern Emperor Taiyi away from there, heading into the distance.
The two of them were going back to pack up before leaving Cloud Spirit Island for Hongjun Island.
"Big Brother, you're leaving again?" Honghong suddenly appeared and blocked Uchiha Shin's path.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi glanced at Uchiha Shin, then smiled and walked ahead, leaving Uchiha Shin to chat with Honghong.
"We're only going to Hongjun Island in the west. Once we find the Hongjun Grass, we'll return," Uchiha Shin said.
Honghong wanted to go with Uchiha Shin and the others, but Uchiha Shin did not agree.
"We'll come back once we find it. We'll meet again then. I'm not leaving forever."
Uchiha Shin and Eastern Emperor Taiyi then flew westward.
During the flight, Uchiha Shin could not help asking, "Your Highness, is your master really not Patriarch Hongjun?"
He knew Eastern Emperor Taiyi would answer him. He had not answered on Cloud Spirit Island earlier only because he did not want too many people to know.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi said, "Everyone in the Three Realms believes that Patriarch Hongjun is the master of Lady Nüwa, Great God Pangu, and me, but that is not the case. Patriarch Hongjun is only our master in name. In truth, our relationship is more like that of friends, except he is of a senior generation compared to us."
Uchiha Shin said, "Then why did Patriarch Hongjun become your master in name? And who is your true master?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi said, "Patriarch Hongjun became our master in name because our true master did not wish to reveal himself. Thus, he had Patriarch Hongjun appear before everyone and claim to be our master. As for who our true master is, even the three of us fellow disciples do not know."
"Hm?" Uchiha
