I didn't eat dinner; it's no fun being alone.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, Sui Xin sat in the cultivation room and took out the token.

Following the old man's instructions that day, I cut my finger, dripped a drop of blood, and then pressed the button.

Suddenly, he felt as if his consciousness was being drawn away by the token. It wasn't very painful, but it was somewhat uncomfortable.

After a period of darkness, when the light returned, they found themselves in the same barrier from a few days ago, where the old man sat in the middle of the barrier waiting.

"You've come?" the old man said, as Sui Xin's figure gradually solidified in front of him.

"Senior, what's going on?" Sui Xin asked, puzzled.

The old man stood up, patted his stomach, and said, "The token brings you consciousness. I am just a consciousness myself. I will teach you some things here in the future."

Only at 8 PM, when the rules of the Divine Realm were slightly weaker, could the old man barely manage to transmit such a faint consciousness.

"Oh, I see," Sui Xin nodded. "By the way, I still don't know your name?"

After spending a few days with the old man, Sui Xin felt that the old man meant him no harm, which was a major reason why he dared to come.

“Long Jin, you can call me Elder Long or Old Dragon,” the old man replied.

"Thank you so much for what happened before, Elder Long," Sui Xin said, bowing deeply in gratitude. The old man had saved his life.

"Haha, no need for thanks," the old man laughed, seemingly in a good mood.

As if seeing right through Sui Xin, he continued, "If you have any questions, just say them."

Sui Xin didn't mince words and said directly, "What happened when I was fighting those bugs that day? Suddenly three techniques appeared."

"There are three types?" the old man asked, somewhat surprised. "That's called talent awakening. Normally, only those who cultivate the Awakening Spirit Technique have a chance to awaken it, that's what it is, but you are an exception."

As he spoke, Elder Long handed a simple, ancient book to Suixin, with three large characters engraved on the cover: "Awakening Method".

"This is our ancestral awakening ability, which can greatly develop the potential of the Eye of Destiny and offset its side effects. You must have paid a price for those dreams you had of foreseeing the future," the old man asked.

I thought about it for a moment and nodded. The first time I had that kind of dream, I went blind a few days later; the second time, I didn't know the specific consequences, but overall I paid a heavy price, and my life was almost completely consumed.

"As for cultivating the Awakening Technique, as long as your own cultivation level is sufficient, at most it will only leave you exhausted without harming your body," the old man explained. "As for why you can awaken on your own, I'm not very clear about that."

"And why you can foresee things at this stage is also a question," said Elder Long, then looked at Suixin, "Tell me about the things you foresaw the previous two times."

Sui Xin didn't hide anything and told the old man the truth, hoping that he could find the problem.

"Both are related to Xi Yun? Was your awakening also related to that?" the old man couldn't help but ask. The reason was simple: both of his precognitive dreams were about Xi Yun, which gave him a sudden realization about his awakening.

"It seems so. Yun'er left in my dream, and I got anxious and ended up like that," Suixin said.

"So the problem might lie with Xi Yun, or perhaps you value Xi Yun too much," the old man said, as if this was the only explanation, but it couldn't be definitively concluded.

"Elder Long, what's the situation with Yun'er?" Sui Xin continued to ask. He was also extremely curious about Xi Yun's identity, which was definitely not simple.

"Xi Yun? She's such a pitiful child," the old man suddenly sighed, his gaze drifting into the distance with a hint of pity. After a moment, he looked back at Sui Xin.

"If you really decide to be with her, be prepared that it could be a matter of life and death or utter ruin."

Old Long spoke very seriously, staring intently into Sui Xin's eyes as if trying to see right through him.

"So what? I'd rather die than regret it," Sui Xin said with a light smile, without the slightest resistance. "You haven't told me Yun'er's identity yet."

"Haha, you'll know that in the future," the old man laughed, quite satisfied with the casual reply.

"Even if I die, I will have no regrets"—these four seemingly simple words, how many people can truly live up to them?

Seeing that Suixin still wanted to delve deeper into this matter, the old man immediately changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Tell me about your situation. Don't you want to know why you are a descendant of the ancient dragon race?"

"Alright then, please continue," Sui Xin nodded helplessly and said.

He was genuinely puzzled by this question. Logically speaking, he was just an ordinary disciple of the Xuanyu Sect, so how could he have such a prestigious status?

No, thinking of this, Sui Xin immediately dismissed her own opinion. Both the True Phoenix Technique and the Heavenly Fate Pearl seemed to hint at the extraordinary nature of her parents.

When we were at Tianxu Mountain, Xiaoyun'er had mentioned her identity, but she hadn't told me everything.

"In ancient times, there were three strongest races: the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and the Hidden Clan. Today, we will focus on the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan. In the beginning, the two races fought fiercely, and the people of both races lived in misery every day."

In truth, both clan leaders wanted to ease tensions, but neither wanted to be the first to speak, out of pride. Things only began to improve later when a dragon man fell in love with a phoenix woman. "Ahem, I won't go into the details," the old man recounted.

"And you, with the blood of the phoenix flowing through your veins, as well as a trace of the dragon bloodline, you must be a member of the phoenix clan, and perhaps one of your ancestors intermarried with a member of the dragon clan."
