*Rumble... Rumble...*
"Their breakthrough has begun." Zao Nianjian stated this while observing the three people attempting to break through at the stern. "The female elf will break through first."
Long Tianhuo nodded in agreement with that. "Xian Di will break through after her, but Zhu Ling will likely have a hard time breaking through."
"The spirit emperor is one of the special living beings besides the golden dragon king, the seer, and several others." Jia Yubai paused for a moment as he watched Zhu Ling. "Moreover, his existence seems to be an anomaly, especially since his predecessor is still alive."
"Hmm?" Zao Nianjian turned to Jia Yubai with a frown. "Is the previous spirit emperor really still alive?"
"The previous spirit emperor is really still alive, but he is no longer himself." Zao Nianjian looked at Hun Lingwang. "Little Yuyan already has a vision of him, and he is imprisoned by darkness in the desolate abyss domain, along with the previous demon emperor. The darkness there is no ordinary darkness, and it is filled with negative emotions, which has affected both of them."
"Do you know anything about this, Tianhuo?"
Long Tianhuo nodded to Zao Nianjian. "Jing Shen handed over the previous spirit emperor and the previous demon emperor to Hundun and his three brothers, and they sent them to the desolate abyss domain. I originally thought that they were dead because that place was too dangerous; not even Senior Buxiu could enter that place, so I didn't expect that they were still alive."
"Grandpa Zao! The previous spirit emperor and the previous demon emperor have turned into true evils, but they can still be saved." Jia Yuyan's words surprised Zao Nianjian and Long Tianhuo. "The only person who can save them from that place is Aunt Zhou Yu, but she must perfect herself and break through to the three immortal realms first. After that, we can ask someone to purify the darkness from their bodies and souls, and they will return to normal afterward."
"Who is the person who can purify the darkness from their bodies and souls?"
Jia Yuyan immediately told them. "That person is the first winged race, but her memories have not returned, so she still can't purify the darkness from their bodies and souls. However, she has already entered the supreme realm, and her memories may return sooner than anticipated. After she regains her memories, she can easily purify the darkness."
"Do you know where she is now, Little Yuyan?"
Jia Yuyan shook her head at Hun Lingwang. "I can't be sure of her current location, but I know that she is in good hands and will show up when she is ready."
Zao Nianjian suddenly asked them, "Since there can only be one spirit emperor in each era, what would happen if the previous and current spirit emperors existed at the same time?"
*Zap... Zap... Zap...*
Suddenly, several lightning bolts descended from the sky, striking Nu Wang's body directly and causing his expression to become quite painful. However, she immediately calmed herself down and absorbed the lightning into her body, and she used it to attack the last barrier to break through to the three immortal realms.
Nu Wang's aura gradually increased; her body was covered in green and white auras, which came from her wind and light elements. A few minutes later, several lightning bolts descended from the sky and struck her body again, nearly causing her to fall backward.
Nu Wang's breakthrough process lasted for almost five hours, but the sky still did not change, and countless lightnings kept flashing above. After all, the other two people were still in the process of breaking through, and their breakthroughs were no less powerful than hers, especially the spirit emperor.
After her breakthrough was complete, Nu Wang immediately returned to her original spot, and she exhaled softly before opening her eyes. However, she was stunned when she saw the people in front of her, and she was even more confused after she found herself in outer space.
"You don't have to be confused, Nu Wang." Hun Lingwang then pointed to the two cultivators from the supreme realm. "Long Tianhuo is Ling Yun's father-in-law, and the old man is Senior Zao Nianjian. They came to the upper realms specifically to pick up Old Yubai and Little Yuyan, but they sensed the breakthrough of the three of you, so they decided to take you with them. Otherwise, the three of you would be sent to random places, and you guys would be in danger if that happened, especially since your cultivation would become unstable after breaking through."
Nu Wang nodded in understanding and immediately stood up. She then cupped her hands towards Long Tianhuo and Zao Nianjian. "Thank you for your help, seniors."
"Haha." Zao Nianjian laughed as he waved his hand. "Little elf, since we're on the same side, don't be so formal. Actually, you can go back to your realm directly, but I hope you won't go back there and go with Tianhuo to his realm. That way, you can cultivate faster to increase your strength because the danger is continuing to approach here, and we need many powerful cultivators to help Ling Yun stop it."
Nu Wang naturally knew about it because Jia Yuyan had shared a lot of information, but she was still worried about the results of the three prophecies. "What about the upper realms? Ling Yun, he-"
"You don't have to worry about my son-in-law." Long Tianhuo interrupted Nu Wang directly. "I understand your concerns about the three prophecies, but I'm sure that kid won't be so crazy as to destroy the upper realms. Moreover, my wife has helped our daughter to perfect herself, and he must have realized that now, so I'm sure everything will be fine."
*Rumble... Rumble...*
The sky suddenly rumbled as Nu Wang was about to ask Long Tianhuo, so he immediately shifted to their side, especially since another lightning tribulation was about to descend. Soon, they witnessed Xian Di begin to hover in mid-air, as his lightning tribulation swiftly descended upon him.
Like Nu Wang's previous breakthrough, Xian Di's breakthrough also lasted quite a long time, but the dwarf lord did not experience any significant difficulties in it.
After he had completed his breakthrough, Hun Lingwang and the others immediately explained the situation to Xian Di, and he immediately agreed to Zao Nianjian's request to go to the Thousand Beast Realm with them.
