Chapter 824 – Closed Until Further Notice
After spending many minutes explaining his situation to Feng Yuxiang, Yuan patiently waited for her response.
Feng Yuxiang spoke after digesting all of the information, "I understand why you think you are the reincarnation of the Divine Paragon now, but there's something I don't understand. You said there is someone besides the Divine Paragon who appears in your dreams?"
Yuan nodded, "Yes, and he said that I had reincarnated more than once. That is possible, right?"
"As long as one's soul isn't destroyed, they should be able to reincarnate continuously, but like I'd already said, I am not really experienced in this matter."
"Also, while there have been many people in the past that claimed to have memories of their past lives, they have never been able to prove it properly."
"Of course, that is not to say I don't believe you, but I think we should investigate your situation further before we come to any conclusions." Feng Yuxiang said.
"What do you suggest I do?"
"First of all, we need to make sure that the memories in your head are real. After all, there are techniques out there that can feed into or alter one's memories, so there is a chance that something like that happened to you."
"How can I tell if my memories are real or fake?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"There are treasures out there that can help you, but it's not going to be cheap, and even if we have enough money, I doubt we'll be able to find it in this world."
"So we just need to go to a higher heaven, right? I have been thinking about challenging the Stairway to Heaven again since I am already reaching the limits of this world." Yuan said.
"When do you intend on leaving?"
"I want to leave after Min Li finishes her disciple examination," he said.
"That quickly? You don't want to explore this world anymore?" Feng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows.
"Well, I have a lot of questions that I want to be answered, but I won't find the answers in the Spirit Heaven, so there's really no reason for me to stay there any longer."
"Fair enough." Feng Yuxiang didn't say anything else.
However, after a moment of silence, she spoke again, "By the way, Young Master, if your memories turn out to be true— that you're truly the reincarnation of the Divine Paragon, what are you going to do?"
"Nothing. I am going to continue living my life as it is. The Divine Paragon's life ended with him. I have no reason to continue his legacy, nor do I want to."
"And even if I wanted to continue his legacy, I don't even know anything about him."
"I see…"
After another moment of silence, Feng Yuxiang said, "Young Master, once we return to Spirit Heaven, let's go visit the House of Riches to see if they have the treasure required for your memories."
"Sure." Yuan nodded.
They still have two weeks until Min Li's disciple examination, anyway.
About three hours later, Yuan was finally able to log off the game.
"You're late today. Dinner just ended." Chu Liuxiang said to him after he returned to the real world.
"Sorry, but I wasn't able to log off due to some unexpected circumstances."
"Oh? Tell me about it if you want to."
Yuan nodded and told her about the situation between the Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto before they went to sleep.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Spirit Heaven, Min Li was wandering the wilderness in search of magical beasts to hunt.
After spending many minutes searching, Min Li finally encountered a first level Spirit Warrior magical beast.
However, before she could even get close to the magical beast, a powerful pressure appeared, instantly flattening the magical beast.
The excitement on Min Li's face immediately disappeared when she saw this, and she turned around to look at the small figure following her.
"How am I supposed to train if you keep killing them before I can even do anything? This is the 3rd time already! Do you hold some kind of grudge against me?" Min Li asked Xiao Hua.
"Brother Yuan told me to keep you safe." Xiao Hua said in a calm voice.
"I know he told you that, but I don't think he said anything about preventing me from training! I can handle myself, so can you just let me train properly, please? I will let you know when I need help."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Hua quietly nodded her head.
"Thank you…" Min Li returned to looking for magical beasts shortly after.
Once she found one, she turned to glare at Xiao Hua to make sure she didn't forget about their agreement.
Sometime later, she approached the magical beast and started fighting it while Xiao Hua watched from a distance.
Seeing that she could finally have some practice, Min Li fought the magical beast to the best of her abilities, and after many minutes of going back and forth, the magical beast was slain by her.
After her first kill, Min Li would spend the rest of the night hunting magical beasts, acquiring two monster cores that she would use for her cultivation once she went to the Cultivators' Haven in the nearest city.
The following day, Yuan logged into Cultivation Online after breakfast.
"Who's there?!"
The moment Yuan appeared in Cultivation Online, he was greeted by a sword that was only inches away from his neck.
"I-It's me…" Yuan responded in a nervous voice.
"Little founder? You scared me just now. How did you come inside without making a sound?" Yan Hara retrieved her sword after realizing that it was him.
"Well…"
But before Yuan could even explain, Yan Hara continued, "Anyways, are you okay? I hope you didn't participate in yesterday's fight."
"Yes, I am fine. I hid in here while everyone else fought." He nodded.
"What happened after the fight?" He then asked.
Yan Hara sighed, "Many demon sealers from both sides were injured, and someone from our side even died. In fact, the higher ups have decided to close the Grand Library for all demon sealers until further notice."
