Qi Tian took a step back, still wearing a slight smile on his face, but said not a word.
After hesitating, Emperor Jianwu gritted his teeth and took the step forward, walking out of the small space. He first tried extending one hand, pausing for a brief moment, and upon realizing that no Heavenly Punishment descended, he then stepped out one foot, paused again to confirm the safety outside, before finally walking out of the small space completely.
Only then did Qi Tian say with a smile, "Prince, you see I did not deceive you, right? Your cultivation realm has increased, and your lifespan has synchronized with this growth, so naturally, Heavenly Punishment will not befall you. Congratulations, you can now walk again under the sunlight and no longer need to hide in this dark, sunless space."
Emperor Jianwu took a deep breath, clasped his hands towards Qi Tian, and said, "In any case, I must thank you. You have given me a new life."
