Chapter 596 - Founder Of The Demon Sealing Clan
After arriving in Yang City, Meixiu and Sebastian rented out a hotel to stay in for the time being, as Chu Liuxiang was still unconscious.
"Brother Yuan!"
Chu Liuxiang woke up shouting about half an hour after they arrived at the hotel.
"W-Where are we?! Where"s Brother Yuan?!" Chu Liuxiang asked Meixiu, who was in the same room.
"We are currently in Yang City," she replied.
"What about Brother Yuan?!"
"He"s… still in the Jaded Garden…"
"Why?! Why did you leave him behind?! I thought you loved him!" Chu Liuxiang cried out loud.
"Calm down, Young Lady." Sebastian suddenly said.
"It was the Young Master"s decision. If you truly love him, you would respect his wishes."
"T-That"s…" Chu Liuxiang was immediately left speechless by Sebastian"s words. Clearly, he was used to dealing with her.
"Believe in the Young Master. He"s destined to achieve great things in the future, so he won"t die there," Sebastian continued.
"I guess you"re right… But what are we going to do now? I cannot just sit around and do nothing! Call my father! We"re going to request his help to deal with the demon!" Chu Liuxiang then said.
"I have already notified the Masters of the situation. They are currently pondering on how they should approach this problem as we speak. We can only wait for their response now."
"This situation is much direr than you probably think, Young Lady. If the demon is allowed to run rampant, it could very well be the end of humanity."
"Haaa…" Chu Liuxiang sighed.
Sometime later, Meixiu suddenly received a call from Senior w.a.n.g.
"Feng! You need to return to the Jaded Garden! The demon has been defeated, but Daoist Yuan is currently in a critical condition!"
"What?!" Meixiu exclaimed in a shocked voice.
"I will be there as soon as possible!"
"What happened?" Chu Liuxiang asked her.
"It"s Yuan! The demon"s been defeated, but he"s in a critical condition!" She quickly explained.
"What?! Brother Yuan is in a critical condition?! What happened to him?!" Chu Liuxiang completely ignored the part where Yuan defeated the demon and focused only on his condition.
"I don"t know— we won"t know until we return to the Jaded Garden."
"Sebastian!" Chu Liuxiang turned to look at him.
"R-Right away!" Sebastian had a delayed response since he was shocked to learn that Yuan had defeated the demon already.
Thus, they began making their way back to the Jaded Garden.
Meanwhile, inside the Six Spiritual Families" private hospital, Yuan was being taken care of by a dozen doctors at once.
They were preparing to do surgery on Yuan because of the ma.s.sive injury in the center of his chest, but to their absolute shock, by the time they finished their preparations, the injury had closed on its own!
It was unlike anything they have ever seen before, and they questioned if Yuan was human or not afterward.
"Where am I? Am I dead?"
Yuan wondered to himself as he was surrounded by nothing but darkness somewhere deep within his consciousness.
"No, you"re still alive." A voice suddenly responded to him.
Yuan turned around to see two figures standing behind him— both of them being the handsome man, but there were slight differences between them, such as their aura and demeanor.
One of them appeared to be the usual handsome man— the one who would appear in his dream the most often.
The second one appeared only recently, and he was the one who dealt with the demon.
"Why are there two of you? Are you the same person or two different people?" Yuan asked them.
The two of them looked at each other before smiling.
"Both." They responded simultaneously.
"We"re both the same person but different people at the same time. You"re also the same as us, yet you"re a different person. Do you understand?"
"Reincarnation? But how can there be two of you?" Yuan then asked.
"Do you think a person can only reincarnate once? One can continue to reincarnate until their soul is broken or worn out, and with every reincarnation, one"s soul becomes weaker, so not everyone is equal. Some people can only reincarnate once before their soul is worn out while others can reincarnate two… even three times." The Divine Paragon explained.
"How many times have I reincarnated by now? There"s two of you right now, and that person who was wielding a spear is most likely one as well, so there"s at least three." Yuan said.
"Who knows." They both shrugged.
Yuan then turned to look at the handsome man wearing the "Bane of Demons" robe and said, "You"re the Founder of the Demon Sealing Clan, right? But that only exists in Cultivation Online. Are you telling me that Cultivation Online is actually real— that it exists somewhere in this universe?"
"It"s good to finally see you using your senses. Did that woman"s death wake you up?" The other handsome man laughed.
Yuan gritted his teeth when the topic suddenly switched to Azure.
However, before he could say anything, the Founder of the Demon Sealing Clan spoke in a solemn voice, "It"s not over just yet."
"What isn"t over?"
"Both the demon and Azure," he responded.
"W-What do you mean by that?"
"You may have defeated one demon today, but do you really think that there is only a single demon in your world? You"ll probably have to fight a few more in the future when they eventually break from their seal."
"What?! There are more demons out there?!" Yuan exclaimed.
"Most likely, so you better prepare yourself before they break from their seal, or what happened to Azure will repeat again, and it could be either Meixiu or Chu Liuxiang who will take their last breath in your arms next," said the Divine Paragon.
"As for Azure… You might be able to see her again."
"Really?! How?!" Yuan no longer cared about the demons that might appear in the future and asked.
Divine Paragon then said, "Do you remember when I mentioned that a person can reincarnate as long as their soul is unharmed? If you find her soul…"
"Then I can reincarnate her?! Where can I find her soul?!"
Divine Paragon shook his head, "I cannot answer all of your questions now, but you might be able to find these answers, as well as your true origin, inside Cultivation Online."
"Cultivation Online…" Yuan mumbled.
