Sometime later, Xiao Meilin brought Yuan to the Spirit Tree, which was located only a few miles away from the Asura Clan's residence.
Shortly after they left the residence, Mu Xuelian, who followed them, spoke, "Yuan, Lord Shiva has something to tell you."
"Hm? What is it?" Yuan turned to look at her.
"She said that man doesn't have long to live."
"What?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"That first-level God Ascension cultivator we were just with."
"Cangming? What is her reason for saying such a thing?" Yuan immediately stopped moving and glared at her with a serious frown.
Mu Xuelian closed her eyes and, after a moment of silence, responded in a different tone.
"That man has been afflicted with a particular technique by a certain Eternal," said Shiva, who just took control of Mu Xuelian's body.
"You mean his illness? So an Eternal was involved, after all…" Yuan sighed.
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Meilin asked.
