The Mermaid Queen and Princess Peacock looked at Zuan in shock, wondering why he would ask such a question.
I heard the Dragon King mention before that Shennong was a being from a very ancient time. Is it really possible that he could still be alive today?
The person in the cave fell silent, and after a long while, he finally spoke: "You overestimate me. How could I possibly be that person?"
Sensing the extraordinary respect he showed for Shennong in his tone, Zu'an continued to press, "Then are you a descendant of Shennong, or perhaps even the Yan Emperor of this generation?"
In ancient mythology, the term "descendants of Yan and Huang" was a common name used after the forces of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang merged.
Shennong was the first Yan Emperor, but Yan Emperor does not refer to Shennong alone, but rather to the leader of each generation of the Yan Emperor's power.
The person in the cave was slightly taken aback: "I didn't expect you to know so much. That's right, I have a connection with Shennong, but I am not the Yan Emperor of this generation."
Zu An thought to himself, "As expected," and continued to press, "May I ask where the current Yan Emperor is? Why is he not seen leading the human race to resist the invasion of extraterrestrial demons?"
Although he didn't know what the situation was with the Yan Emperor in this world, he had met Yu the Great before. Yu the Great was incredibly powerful and his strength was terrifying. The Divine Pattern Weapon Diagram came from him.
Emperor Yan's status in mythology is in no way lower than that of Yu the Great, so there's no reason why he couldn't subdue these extraterrestrial demons.
In fact, he had many doubts in his heart. He seemed to have seen the ruins of many dynasties in the history of the cultivation world in various secret realms. Unlike the ordinary dynasties in his previous life, those dynasties all possessed god-like and demonic power.
Where have all these powerful beings gone? Logically, any powerful figure that appears should be able to stop those extraterrestrial demons.
Although the cultivation world in this fragment of time from thousands of years ago is much stronger than the cultivation world of later generations, it is still no match for the world of demons.
Those legendary beings have all vanished without a trace, and no one knows where they've gone.
The voice from inside the cave echoed again: "Everything is fate."
Zuan: "..."
He thought there would be more to the story, but it just ended there?
This guy is acting all mysterious, like a charlatan.
However, knowing that further questioning would not yield an answer, he asked another question that was of greater concern: "I have long heard that the medical skills of the Fire Cloud Cave are divine. I wonder if there is a way to cure the Innate Calamity Poison Saint Body?"
The person inside the cave exclaimed in surprise, seemingly also somewhat taken aback by the question:
"I never imagined that the legendary Innate Poisonous Body really existed. I thought it was just a legend. This body is naturally extremely compatible with all kinds of poisons, but once the poison erupts, it can only be suppressed by using even stronger poisons. Although it can transform the poison into powerful combat strength, it is ultimately like drinking poison to quench thirst. In the end, it will be unable to suppress the poison and will be reduced to ashes. At the same time, it will also cause a world to be infected and destroyed by the poison."
Princess Peacock looked at Zu An with concern, wondering why her older brother was suddenly asking this. Could he be this so-called Holy Body?
The Mermaid Queen knew the truth and wondered if his sister had contracted this terrible disease. No wonder he, with all his abilities, had not found a cure yet.
At this moment, another voice came from inside the cave: "I do know another solution. We can use some special techniques and rare and precious materials to form a core in the body of the Holy Body. This will achieve a balance. Although it will not completely eliminate the poison, as long as it is controlled properly, it can also escape the inevitable death."
Zuan's heart skipped a beat; these words sounded so familiar.
"The more powerful the cultivation technique, the more powerful the poison pills it can form. Of course, not all cultivation techniques are suitable; they must also be compatible with the Innate Poisonous Saint Body. You'll have to find that yourself, depending on your fate and luck with that saint body."
"As for the rare and precious materials needed to form the core, I do know about them: the Heaven-Defying Spirit Tear, the Glazed Hairpin Flower, and the inner core of the Aurora Poison Dragon. Since you came here to find a cure for the plague of the sea race, I suppose you've already obtained the inner core of the Aurora Poison Dragon," the person in the cave said.
Zaun's expression was extremely strange; for a moment, he even suspected that the person in the cave was Salami.
However, he knew this was impossible, so how did Salame know this solution?
The Fire Cloud Cave is so mysterious that it's impossible for Salami to have come here, let alone ask about the solution to the Innate Evil Poison Holy Body.
There is only one explanation: the Salami in this world learned about this from herself, the Mermaid Queen, or the Peacock Princess.
After thinking it over, I think it's more likely that I'll find out from him.
Thinking back to what Mi Li said to him about time and space, could this be considered a kind of time-space loop?
He was suddenly struck by the absurdity of the chicken-or-egg dilemma.
He quickly composed himself and then asked, "Where can I find the Heaven-Defying Spirit Tear and the Glazed Hairpin Flower?"
"The Glass Hairpin Flower exists in this world, but such a rare treasure depends on one's fortune and destiny. It cannot be forced. If you are not destined for it, even if I tell you the exact location, it will be useless. If you are destined for it, I will not say anything, and you will obtain it on your own," the person in the cave replied.
Zuan: "..."
Previously, Salami mentioned that this world might have glass hairpins, and I thought I could get more information from this guy.
"As for the Heaven-Defying Spirit Tear..." The voice of the person in the cave suddenly stopped, as if he was examining something, "This world doesn't have it yet, but you might have a chance to obtain it in the future."
Zuan: "???"
He tried to ask the other person for more details, but the person in the cave only replied with things like, "The time is not right yet, you will naturally understand when the time comes."
