Chapter 823 - A Second Personality

After Yan Hara left, Yuan returned to training his demon sealing techniques, increasing many mastery levels for a couple of the weaker techniques, but he could not stop thinking about the Demon Emperor and the Divine Paragon's reason for letting it escape.

Even though he knew it was because the Divine Paragon wanted to fight the Ancient, he still couldn't fathom such a reasoning.

Why would the Divine Paragon risk having the demons rule the Nine Heavens again just so he could have a fight with an Ancient? Just because he is a selfish person who doesn't care about the lives of others? But the Divine Paragon wouldn't have started hunting demons in the first place if that was the case. It didn't make sense to Yuan no matter how much he pondered about it.

'I will have my answers once I defeat the fourth floor of the Demon Sealing Pagoda, but that is easier said than done…' Yuan sighed inwardly.

Even with his ridiculous talent, such a goal seemed unfathomably distant.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do for now except to practice.

Yuan would increase the mastery level of multiple demon sealing techniques on that day, but they were all low-ranking techniques. He wanted to completely master all the weaker techniques before focusing on the stronger ones.

At the end of the day, Yuan began making his way outside the Grand Library, but he stopped right before the exit, mostly because he was forced to stop, as there was a crowd of people that blocked the path there.

"What's going on?" Yuan asked one of the people closest to him.

"I'm not exactly sure what happened, but there are people fighting at the entrance, blocking everyone."

Yuan raised his eyebrows. Since he couldn't see the situation with his bare eyes, he decided to use his divine sense to look at the situation, and sure enough, he could see a large group of people blocking the path.

There appeared to be two sides in this large group. One of them belonged to the Demon Sealing Clan while the other group was from the Demon Sealing Grotto.

"Because of your Demon Sealing Clan's Leader's incompetence, three of our Master Demon Sealers are dead!"

"Your Grand Elder was there as well! You cannot put all the blame on us!"

"Screw you! We all know the tournament was a malicious plot by the Demon Sealing Clan to hurt our clan! Why else would they suddenly use a Demon Emperor when all previous tournaments used Demon Generals and lower ranking demons?!"

Once Yuan overheard these people arguing with each other, he immediately understood the context and why they were fighting.

Soon, the verbal argument between these two groups escalated, turning into a full fight.

The spectators there quickly scattered to give them room.

Unfortunately, most of the lecturers in the Grand Library were absent due to the same important meeting Yan Hara was attending, so there was basically nobody to stop the fighting between these two groups.

Furthermore, the fight grew bigger because the other demon sealers would join in to assist their own companions.

Very soon, half of the people within the Grand Library were fighting.

Not wanting to participate in the fight, mostly because he was the weakest cultivator in this place, Yuan went to Yan Hara's room and locked himself inside.

Of course, he had the option to log off— or so he thought.

<You cannot log off while inside an active battlefield!>

"Hopefully, the fighting doesn't last for too long." Yuan sighed as he took a seat in the empty room.

After many minutes of pure silence, a voice suddenly resounded.

"Young Master."

Feng Yuxiang appeared before him a moment later with a perplexed look on her face.

"Feng Feng? What's up?" Yuan raised his eyebrows in a puzzling manner when he saw her expression.

"Young Master… I wanted to wait until you are willing to tell us by yourself, but I simply cannot endure my curiosity any longer, and I was hoping you could answer a few of my questions… Of course, you can refuse."

"What questions?" Yuan asked.

"Well… There are times when you feel like an entirely different person. At first, I thought it was only my imagination, but after witnessing what happened today, it appears to me that you have a second personality in you…" Feng Yuxiang expressed her worries.

"Oh…" Yuan immediately realized what Feng Yuxiang was talking about.

In fact, he'd completely forgotten that Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying were with him this entire time, so they saw everything when he turned into the Divine Paragon.

Yuan quickly began trying to think of an excuse, but when nothing came up, he decided to tell them the truth.

"This is going to make me sound crazy, but it appears that I am the reincarnation of the Divine Paragon…" Yuan revealed the truth to them for the first time.

Feng Yuxiang's eyes widened, and she remained silent for the next few minutes, seemingly unable to find the proper words to respond to Yuan's claims.

Seeing Feng Yuxiang's reaction, Yuan quickly said, "J-Just kidding! You see, I actually—"

"It's okay, Young Master. I believe you." Feng Yuxiang suddenly interrupted.

And she continued, "I am just surprised, that's all. In case you forgot, I am a phoenix, and we symbolize immortality and resurrection, which is just another word for reincarnation. If I do not believe in reincarnation, I might as well stop being a phoenix."

"However, I must admit, I have never actually witnessed or experienced reincarnation for myself… Can you tell me why you believe that you are the reincarnation of the Divine Paragon, Young Master? You may look exactly like him, but that's not really concrete proof…"

Yuan nodded, and he said, "Sit down. This might be a long story."

Once Feng Yuxiang sat beside him, Yuan began explaining about his situation to her.

"It all started with this weird dream, where I met someone who looked exactly like me, but he was much older…"
