Chapter 255 The Oracle
“So what about the Vermilion Empire, Yuhe?” Xia Tian met Zhu Yuhe after getting a voice transmission from her.
“Everything is ready, I will take full control of Vermillion Empire next week. But it looks like when that day comes, it will not go smoothly, as I received word that several representatives from other continents will also be attending.” Zhu Yuhe then handed Xia Tian a list of representatives from other continents.
And Xia Tian read them one by one, but suddenly his eyes fell on one representative. “Bai Kingdom, huh? It’s really my luck that they are representatives of the western continent.”
“Hmm? It seems that you are interested in the Bai Kingdom?” Zhu Yuhe asked suspiciously, because Xia Tian usually didn’t show such interest.
“Didn’t I tell you before that in the Bai Kingdom there is someone who is the same as me? And I suspect that person is within the circle of the Bai Royal Family, and if my guess is correct then that person must be one of the three people.” Xia Tian himself still couldn’t confirm the identity of the person who used the name Long Tian, ??but he had a feeling that he would soon meet that person.
“Of course I remember that, but are you sure that person is a member of the royal family?”
“Not so sure, but all my questions will be answered soon.”
Zhu Yuhe then discussed her plans for the day of the takeover of the Vermilion Empire with Xia Tian, ??because she felt that he was actually more skilled at plotting things than her.

“Why don’t you three come in right away?” The voice of an old man sounded from within the room in front of the three women who were standing.
“Sigh, looks like he’s been waiting for us.” Qiao Xiao sighed softly.
“Nothing can escape his eyes, Big Sis Xiao.” Fan Jing said with a chuckle, then entered the room with Qiao Xiao and Fan Ying.
When they entered the room, an old man with a haggard face greeted them with a faint smile. “Have you guys met him?”
“Tsk, you creepy old geezer! Aren’t you tired of observing fate?” Qiao Xiao said as she sat cross-legged in front of the old geezer.
“Because this is my duty and purpose in life.” The Oracle flatly said, then he narrowed his eyes at Qiao Xiao. “Why do I feel the aura of that demon sword is so strong in your body?”
“That’s because he unleashed the sword’s aura to its full potential, and he nearly lost control himself because of it, so I had to beat him to wake him up.” Qiao Qiao replied with a heavy sigh.
The Oracle nodded in agreement. “If he loses control and the sword manages to control him, then the world he lives in now will be destroyed.”
“Tell us, old geezer. Now that the sword has reappeared, then where is its first owner? Can you find his reincarnation?” Qiao Xiao asked seriously, because this matter was so dire.
“Reincarnation?” The Oracle looked at her with a strange smile. “He’s not even dead yet, so how did he get reincarnated?”
“What!?” Qiao Xiao and the Elf Sisters exclaimed loudly. “How could he still be alive? History says-”
“History? History is written by the victors, and it is written according to their wishes. But in reality he is still alive, it’s just that he is still in deep slumber in his seal, and the seal is slowly fading.” The Oracle’s words left Qiao Xing and the Elf sister speechless. “Once he is released from the seal, then Long Tian will be his first target to get his sword back. Even though his strength keeps declining due to the seal, he is still very strong.”.
“So what should we do, Oracle? Even Long Tian who is in his prime is not his opponent, much less the current Long Tian.” Fan Jing anxiously asked.
However, the Oracle laughed softly. “You don’t have to do anything, Little Girl. Because someone already did it for him.”
“Eh? Someone did it? Who?” Qiao Xiao had a feeling from the start that there was something strange about Long Tian’s soul not dissipating.
“The next Oracle to do it.” Oracle said that while showing his fading hand, and the three women looked at his hand in shock.
“Old Geezer! What happened to you? How did this happen?” Qiao Xiao tried to grab the Oracle’s hand but instead made her fall, because the Oracle’s hand was out of shape.
The Oracle laughed at Qiao Xiao’s behavior. “You don’t have to worry about me, Little Girl. It is my fate, because there can only be one Oracle in this universe, if the next oracle starts appearing then I will start disappearing.”
Even though the Oracle said that, but still the three women became gloomy, as they had known him for too long.
“To become an oracle, one must experience 100 reincarnations, and that person’s abilities begin to awaken after the last reincarnation. But this person is very different, at the time of that person’s 99th death, that person managed to temporarily awaken the Oracle’s ability at the last second, and that person managed to do something extraordinary that no Oracle before me had ever done.” After he gave the explanation to Qiao Xiao and the Elf Sisters, the Oracle smiled wholeheartedly, and he didn’t look weighed down by his fate.
“So who is that person, Oracle?” Fan Jing was really curious about the identity of the next Oracle, Qiao Xiao and Fan Ying were also waiting for the Oracle’s answer.
“You’ve met that person’s last reincarnation, and I think your relationship is also very good.” The Oracle smiled mysteriously at them.
“We’ve met that person before? And we also have a good relationship?” Fan Jing muttered to herself as she thought about it.
Qiao Xiao then grumbled. “Tsk, old geezer. Why are you still playing puzzles with us? Just tell us the identity of that person!”
“Sigh, you’re still as impatient as ever, Little Girl.” said the Oracle with a shake of his head. “She is my daughter’s reincarnation, and she can only cultivate after her 100th reincarnation.”
“Don’t… Don’t tell us that-” The three women were shocked after the figure of a woman appeared in their minds, because only that woman had a close relationship with them, and she couldn’t cultivate before either.
“En, indeed she is the person you guys have in mind.”
Fan Jing sighed heavily. “What a strange fate!”
“Now I am no longer surprised that Long Tian’s soul is able to survive.” Qiao Xiao said, as she thought of something.
“Haha.” The Oracle laughed heartily at their reaction, then he said. “Long Tian himself must indeed go through death, because only through death he can break through his limits in the past. If he doesn’t die, then the universe will not be safe when that person is released from his seal.”
After that, the four of them talked about some other things, but the Oracle told them not to tell Xia Tian the identity of the next Oracle.
