Chapter 1062: Talks
Jia Yuyan was already in the elf queen's lap as she played with her golden hair. Nu Wang, who was listening to Jia Yubai's explanation of the little girl's vision, smiled as she stroked her smooth hair. "Although the situation has changed, I don't think we can stop our plans, especially since there is still a high possibility that the three prophecies will come true.
I will ask Fei Ma to speed up the creation of the item, so we will be fully prepared if that happens."
"I really don't want the three prophecies to come true, but I don't know the will of fate, so it would be better if you do that." Nu Wang nodded in agreement with Jia Yubai, and she immediately contacted Fei Ma.
However, Hun Lingwang suddenly appeared in front of them, causing the elf queen to frown, especially since he always came as he pleased. "Old Yubai, is it true that Jing Shen has fallen?"
"Did you hear that from Zhou Yu?" Hun Lingwang nodded to Jia Yubai. "Since she told you, you shouldn't have come to me, right?"
"Hahaha." Hun Lingwang laughed before sitting down beside Jia Yubai, but his expression turned serious, which confused them, especially since he was rarely this serious. "Honestly, I didn't come here to ask about Jing Shen, but I came to tell you that the previous spirit emperor is most likely still alive."
"Are you serious with that?" Nu Wang and Jia Yubai exclaimed as they sat down.
Jia Yuyan, who was on Nu Wang's lap, almost fell because of it. The elf queen immediately picked her up and asked Hun Lingwang a question. "Did Zhou Yu also tell you about it?"
"Yes." Hun Lingwang then told them all the information he had gotten from Zhou Yu regarding Jing Shen's fall, the identities of the cultivators from the supreme realm, and other news. "Hundun and his three brothers were behind Vadin, and he betrayed the previous demon emperor with their help. Moreover, Jing Shen was their lackey, and he handed the previous spirit emperor over to them.
According to my old friend, those guys sent them to a place in the supreme realm known as the Desolate Abyss Domain. However, Long Tianhuo informed him and Ling Yun that it was the most dangerous place, and no one, including him with his cultivation at the immortal emperor realm, could approach it."
"How could that be, Old Yubai?" Nu Wang posed the question with a solemn expression. "We all know that there can only be one spirit emperor in our universe, just like the seer. If the previous spirit emperor was really still alive in that place, then Zhu Ling should not have been born."
Jia Yubai himself did not have an answer for that, especially since this was the first time in the history of the spirit race that there were two spirit emperors in one era, and he had a bad feeling about it. He then asked his granddaughter. "Yuyan, can you see Zhu Ling's fate?"
"No." Jia Yuyan shook her head at her grandfather. "The spirit emperor is a special existence, so I can't see his fate. As the previous spirit emperor, it's true that he is still alive, but he is not his former self anymore, and that might be what caused Grandpa Zhu Ling to be born, even though he is still kicking."
Hearing that, Nu Wang immediately faced Jia Yuyan. "Yuyan, what do you mean by that? Since when did you know that the previous spirit emperor was still alive?"
"Grandma Nu, I only recently learned about the condition of the previous spirit emperor." Nu Wang, Jia Yubai, and Hun Lingwang continued to look at Jia Yuyan seriously. "Actually, there is a darkness that frequently appears in my dreams, and I repeatedly hear curses and anger every time it appears.
However, I have never been able to see anything in that darkness until a few days ago, so I just knew that it was him, and his condition is really bad."
"Did he turn evil, Little Yuyan?"
Jia Yuyan quickly turned to Hun Lingwang and nodded. "Grandpa Hun, the previous spirit emperor is very evil now, which happened because he was in there for too long, and he was continuously exposed to the negative emotions in that place, so he turned into that state now. As a result, he was no longer worthy of the title of spirit emperor, and Grandpa Zhu Ling was born to replace him."
Jia Yubai, Nu Wang, and Hun Lingwang took a deep breath before they fell silent, as the fact truly shocked them. After all, they were familiar with the previous spirit emperor's character, and he was an upright person, so it was really strange to hear that he had turned evil.
Moreover, he had the same abilities as Zhu Ling, and he had been trapped in the Desolate Abyss Domain for so long, so his cultivation should already be quite high.
Nu Wang was the first to return to his senses and immediately spoke to the two men. "If he really becomes evil now, then he will be truly terrifying. Moreover, Jing Shen trapped him and handed him over to those guys, which resulted in him being locked up in that place for an extended period.
If Yuyan is right that he keeps cursing and getting angry, I am sure that he will attack your spirit race if he manages to escape from that place."
"That's right." Jia Yubai nodded in agreement with Nu Wang. "If that place can turn the previous kind-hearted spirit emperor into evil, then that place is truly very dangerous, and it's no wonder that cultivators in the supreme realm can't approach it."
Hun Lingwang then conveyed his idea to them. "What do you think if I go to that place? My cultivation is not as high as Lu Yi or Long Tianhuo, but I have my soul abilities, and the previous spirit emperor also knows me very well, so I think it might be possible to approach that place and recover him."
"You can't do that, Grandpa Hun." Once again, the three of them turned to Jia Yuyan. "That place is not an ordinary place, and everyone who enters that place will never be able to come out again, so you will be trapped there like them."
"Is that true, Yuyan?" Jia Yuyan nodded to her grandfather. "If the previous spirit emperor truly cannot get out of that place anymore, then we don't have to worry about him attacking us. However, we can't let him stay trapped there, and we have to find a way to save him."
"Yes." Hun Lingwang immediately agreed with that, and he then asked Jia Yuyan. "Do you think Zhou Yu can go to that place?"
"Yes and no." Jia Yuyan's answer confused them. "The current Aunt Zhou Yu doesn't have the ability to enter that place, but she will be able to do so once she reaches the three immortal realms." However, she will have difficulty breaking through that stage easily, and she must pass three obstacles to reach that level."
Since they had not reached the three immortal realms, none of them understood the process of breaking through to that stage. "Three obstacles? What kind of obstacles does Zhou Yu have to overcome?"
"Granpa Hun, you are her old friend, so you should know that she's still incomplete, right?" Hun Lingwang nodded to Jia Yuyan, who immediately continued. "The spirit of void can be said to be immortal as long as the void exists, but Aunt Yu is not truly immortal, and she can still die like her predecessors.
Even so, she will continue to be reborn, but she will not have her old memories, and her strength will continue to decrease every time she dies."
"I see." Hun Linwang immediately understood the meaning behind Jia Yuyan's words. "If Zhou Yu wants to become perfect, then she must regain all the memories of her predecessors, and she will also inherit their powers, especially the power of the first spirit of void."
"Hehe." Jia Yuyan giggled at that. "Grandpa Hun, you are as smart as ever, and my grandfather can't match you."
"Hahaha!" Hun Linwang laughed out loud when he heard that.
However, Jia Yubai immediately complained to his granddaughter. "Why are you mocking your old man, Yuyan? This guy not only absorbs other people's souls too often, but he also absorbs their intelligence, so I can't compare to him."
Jia Yuyan responded to her grandfather's complaint by sticking out her tongue, and she then told them again. "Unfortunately, it was not easy for Aunt Yu to retrieve the memories of her predecessors, especially since their memories were stored deep in the void, and she couldn't reach that place by herself, so she needed someone's help to reach it.
Ling Yun was the only person who could help her reach that place, especially since he was the successor of the primordial chaos dragon, and the void couldn't stop chaos."
"I didn't expect that Ling Yun and Zhou Yu had such a fateful entanglement." Hun Linwang muttered to himself. "I heard from my old friend that she is the only person who can help him reach the top of the mysterious tower, and he is also the only person who can help her reach the deepest place in the void."
Jia Yubai let out a soft sigh before speaking softly. "Fate is indeed unpredictable, particularly Ling Yun's fate. Furthermore, his fate affects not only the people around him, but also the fate of this universe."
"The only person who can predict the fate of others is this little girl." Nu Wang stated this while caressing Jia Yuyan's head. "Unfortunately, she is still too young now, and her abilities as the new seer have not been fully unlocked, so she still cannot see too far into people's fates.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to prevent the three prophecies from coming true, and we could have easily prevented that if her abilities had been fully awakened."
Jia Yuyan just smiled at Nu Wang's words, but no one saw a hint of seriousness in her eyes, and she had no intention of discussing it with them, especially since she was not completely sure yet.
