"Why do you have to question your own existence?" Long Hun's question left Zhu Ling puzzled. "Listen to me, kid. Your predecessor is still alive, but he is no longer the old him, and the negative emotions within the abyss have influenced him. The spirit emperor was born from this universe, and a spirit emperor should not have emotions. However, their characters change with each era, and some of them have begun to have emotions like you, but your emotions are still at the lowest level. As for your predecessor, the universe revoked his status as the spirit emperor because of his change. That's why it gave birth to you to replace him, so you don't need to doubt your existence."
"What would happen if we were to successfully rescue and release the old spirit emperor from the abyss, Senior?" Jia Yubai inquired. Jia Yubai asked.
Long Hun shook his head at Jia Yubai. "Even if you manage to free him from the abyss, he has already lost his status as the spirit emperor, and he will be no different from an ordinary human cultivator. Therefore, his return will have no effect, and this kid will continue to hold the title of spirit emperor until his death. After his death, this universe will give birth to the new spirit emperor, and it will continue with each era."
"Does that mean the old spirit emperor has lost his abilities?"
"No." Long Hun then turned to Huang Hao, who immediately waved his hand. In an instant, a Qi screen appeared in front of them, but they could only see darkness from it. Despite the darkness, they could still hear the hateful voices of many people who continued to curse others. "What you all see now is the situation within the abyss, and every voice belongs to everyone who is trapped inside. Even though the previous spirit emperor had lost his status, he still retained his strength and abilities. In fact, the influence of those negative emotions made him much stronger than before he was sent inside, and if he managed to break free from the abyss under his current conditions, the universe would be in chaos."
After observing the Qi screen, Zao Nianjian spoke to Long Hun. "Senior, the current Seer said that we could free the previous spirit emperor from within it, and she said that there was someone who was able to purify those negative emotions from him."
"The current Seer is not wrong about that." Huang Hao then pointed in another direction. "That person is there now, but she does not yet possess the ability to purify those negative emotions; she must first regain her old memories to be able to do so. Currently, I am helping her improve her physique, and I will help her improve her mental strength afterward. Otherwise, she will die if I help her to regain her memories because her current physique and mental strength are too weak, and her memories are simply too many, especially since she was the reincarnation of the first winged race."
"To tell you the truth, that place is the entrance to our final battle arena, but only Ling Yun and Zhou Yu can lead us into it." Long Hun's revelation shocked all of them, and they hurriedly looked toward the desolate abyss domain. "After he comes to this realm and obtains all my remaining body parts, I will give this last half of my soul to him, and he will become the next primordial chaos dragon. However, he will not be able to defeat the danger by himself, and he needs a lot of help because his opponent is the Chaos itself. You shouldn't worry about that right now; focus on improving your cultivation. Time waits for no one, and the danger is approaching, so you all must leave now and not waste any more time."
"Yes, Senior." Following that, Zao Nianjian escorted them back onto the shidai, and they swiftly departed from the hill, heading towards the Thousand Beast Realm.
Huang Hao then asked her master. "Why did you choose to show yourself to them? Aren't you worried that they will tell Ling Yun about you?"
"Why should I worry about that?" Long Hun asked back with a smile. "When Ling Yun arrives in this realm, he will be much more prepared to face his responsibilities, so it doesn't matter if he finds out about this half of my soul. Furthermore, it would be more beneficial if he came here so that you can train him, but he must first meet the other six beasts in order to unlock the remaining seals in my bloodline."
"Does that mean he's already unlocked the other six seals?"
Meanwhile, Jia Yuyan was stunned after Zhizun Buxiu brought her to the front of the Sky Mansion, and she felt something familiar from inside. "Grandpa, is this the residence of the first seer?"
"You are right; this is her residence, and you will meet her soon." Zhizun Buxiu then took out his token and activated it.
Within seconds, Huang Tianyuan appeared before them, but she was surprised by Jia Yuyan's presence. "How did you find her, Little Buxiu?"
"Zao Nianjian and Long Tianhuo brought her to my private realm, so I immediately brought her to you, Senior." Zhizun Buxiu then pushed Jia Yuyan forward. "Little girl, her name is Huang Tianyuan, and she is the first seer. I can't assist you in awakening your abilities, but she is capable of doing so, so I'll leave you in her care."
"Yes, Grandpa." Jia Yuyan then bowed to Huang Tianyuan. "Grandma, please help me awaken my abilities, or I won't be able to help the successor of the primordial chaos dragon stop the danger."
"Don't worry; I will assist you in awakening your abilities to prevent the destruction of this universe." Huang Tianyuan then looked at Zhizun Buxiu, who immediately left. After that, she brought Jia Yuyan into the Sky Mansion.
"Wow!" Jia Yuyan exclaimed in awe after they arrived inside. "Grandma, this mansion is even more luxurious than Grandpa Zhu Ling's spirit palace!"
After hearing that, Huang Tianyuan smiled and guided Jia Yuyan to the back area, where a lotus-shaped stone stood in the center. "Little girl, you can sit on the stone now, and I will give you the method to awaken your abilities. Once you master it, your abilities will awaken on their own, and you will become the perfect seer for this era. However, the process will not be as fast as you think, and you will probably need several years for your abilities to awaken fully."
"I understand, Grandma." Jia Yuyan then sat on the lotus stone. "We can start now, Grandma."
Huang Tianyuan nodded and touched Jia Yuyan's forehead, and she immediately shared the method she had mentioned before. Following this, the young girl quickly closed her eyes and proceeded to read each step of the method one by one.
Sometime later, a faint white aura began to appear around Jia Yuyan's body, indicating that she had begun to study the method. Huang Tianyuan, who was watching from the side, nodded with a satisfied smile. 'This little girl is much better than the second seer, and she can learn it so quickly. If my estimates are correct, she should be able to awaken her abilities in less than ten years.'
