Zuan remained silent for a long time before finally sighing: "Back then, because I was obsessed with immortality, I was taken advantage of by the villain Xu Fu. Now, nearly ten thousand years later, I finally understand that there is no such thing as immortality in this world."
Mi Li smiled sarcastically: "It's rare to hear you say that."
Zu An wasn't dissatisfied and continued, "Xu Fu's Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation might at most extend his lifespan, but what's the point of living in that inhuman, ghostly form?"
Mi Li asked, "Xu Fu said before that your soul was scattered back then, so why do you still exist now?"
Zuan explained, "Back then, during the Battle of Sand Dunes, I was betrayed by those people. Knowing that I could not escape, I left behind a wisp of my soul and sealed it away. To activate this wisp of my soul, one must be someone who has cultivated the 'Primordial Chaos Scripture.' Xu Fu naturally could not detect it."
"So you planned all of this from the place where you sealed me?" Mi Li frowned. "But since you made all these preparations in advance, how could you still be ambushed by Xu Fu? It's truly despicable."
“I didn’t design all of this to guard against Xu Fu,” Zuan sighed. “I was mainly worried that the sacrificial array would fail back then, so I made these arrangements in advance, waiting for someone to come and help me resurrect in the future.”
Mi Li's expression changed, and she immediately realized: "So that wasn't the inheritance, but bait. It's using the 'Primordial Chaos Scripture' to lure people in the future to find the second half, so they can become your sacrifice and help you be reborn!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Bi Linglong was immediately shocked. What about the real Zu'an?
Sensing the two women's tension, Zu An frowned: "What's your relationship with this guy?"
Mi Li said calmly, "She is my disciple."
Upon hearing this answer, the other person visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. In a way, he can be considered my successor. My wife and I both taught the same person."
“Back then, you betrayed my sister, killed Fusu, and used me as a sacrifice. I no longer consider us husband and wife.” Mi Li said calmly, clearly not wanting to discuss these matters with him. “How long are you going to stay? His body can’t withstand such a long time.”
Zu An's brows furrowed with anger, but it gradually dissipated after a while: "If anyone had dared to speak to me like that back then, they would have been torn apart by five horses long ago."
Mi Li: "Hehe."
Zuan sighed, "After sleeping for so many years, I'm never really willing to leave."
Mi Li was somewhat displeased: "If you want to speak, come out and say it. Don't keep occupying his body."
She was aware of the potential long-term consequences of the treatment and worried that the longer it dragged on, the greater the damage would be to Zuan.
“You seem quite concerned about this disciple,” Zu An said, his smile fading. “Unfortunately, he’s dying.”
"What!" Upon hearing his words, Mi Li and Bi Linglong both exclaimed in surprise.
Zuan's expression remained calm: "From the very beginning, his body showed signs of decay. If I hadn't been constantly using my internal energy to repair it, he would probably have already been reduced to ashes."
Mi Li thought to herself, "Just as I thought," and couldn't help but exclaim, "Thank you!"
She had been wondering why Zuan had made such a commotion with his sword, yet he himself hadn't reacted at all. It turned out that Ying Zheng was helping him.
"You actually thanked me?" Zu'an was somewhat surprised. He quickly realized that the other party was thanking him for this man, which made him feel a little strange.
However, he felt relieved when he realized that this person was her disciple.
“If his body hadn’t been tempered multiple times by the Primordial Chaos, it probably would have collapsed long ago,” Zuan frowned. “However, even so, I can only do my best to suppress the rate of his collapse. After I leave, I’m afraid…”
Mi Li's expression changed, and she hurriedly asked, "When are you leaving?"
"Immediately..." His voice gradually lowered, and then a blurry, transparent soul emerged from his body, vaguely resembling Ying Zheng.
Mi Li immediately became anxious: "How can you be so irresponsible!"
Ying Zheng felt uneasy. Just moments ago, she had urged him to leave quickly, but now she was complaining that he was leaving too soon.
Is it that I don't want to stay any longer, but the circumstances don't allow it?
His soul had begun to dissipate, and his last words drifted slowly through the air: "I left the second half of the *Hongmeng Yuanshi Jing* in his sea of consciousness..."
Before it could finish speaking, it had already completely vanished.
Seeing an emperor vanish completely like this, even though Mi Li had a deep grudge against him, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Just then, Zuan suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Bi Linglong exclaimed in surprise and quickly helped him up: "Grandpa, Grandpa, what's wrong?"
She had already noticed that Zuan's skin was cracked all over his body, and in some places it looked like it was breaking. He was trying to repair himself, but the speed of his repair was far slower than the speed of his collapse.
Zuan smiled and said, "I thought I might die on the spot after using it, but at least I've dealt with that wretched giant octopus."
Hearing that familiar, flippant voice, Bi Linglong knew that the man she knew had returned: "What time is it and you're still joking? Quickly take these medicines."
As he spoke, he took out various precious medicines for injuries from his pocket.
“It’s no use,” Zuan shook his head and took out a bottle of “Brother Xin Chun” from the glass bead. This was the only bottle of medicine he had left to fully revive himself, and he had been reluctant to use it. If he didn’t use it now, he would never have another chance.
He quickly took the medicine, and his chaotic internal condition was indeed nourished and relieved.
