# Chapter 1215: Seeing a Ghost

"What?!"

A group of people cried out in shock. This was too unbelievable—it was someone from the Primordial Era, and this wild old man before them had personally witnessed it.

Flowing with the power of prehistoric deities, protected by an ancient Great Emperor-level formation—could it be that this was a Primordial Emperor?

Everyone turned their gazes toward the monkey in unison. The strongest existence of this level that the Human Demon had ever seen was most likely the Battle Saint Emperor.

The Holy Ape Prince was stared at until his fur stood on end and his head ached. Though sorrowful, he could confirm that his father had truly passed away and could not have left behind any physical body.

Then who could it be? The group was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"It shouldn't be the Battle Saint Ape, because that clan's techniques are overwhelmingly fierce and don't match this type of Dao law. It's a bit like the Ruthless Great Emperor!" Li Heishui said.

Protected by an ancient formation, people couldn't truly sense that aura; they could only touch traces of it and couldn't be certain.

Everyone fixed their eyes on the Human Demon. This living ancestor's gaze was unusual, staring unblinkingly at that immortal cocoon with a strange expression.

The group consulted the old wild man and received a clear response—it was not the Battle Saint Emperor, but a very peculiar and powerful being.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

One hundred and eight thousand heavenly swords sang in unison, all slashing over at once. The Human Demon swung his translucent white bone staff to scatter the sword energy, then stepped forward, taking several crucial strides within the formation.

This was a fragment of an ancient Great Emperor's incomplete formation, but it was still extraordinarily powerful. Even a Sage would be refined into ashes upon entering. The Big Black Dog's first attempt to decipher (po jie) it had failed.

The Human Demon had rampaged through the Primordial Era, renowned as a world-suppressing powerhouse, but in this place he had to treat things seriously, advancing slowly with profound Dao techniques.

During these few steps, Ye Fan and the others naturally couldn't help asking about the sleeping powerhouse's identity during the Primordial Era.

"I don't know. I only saw him once." The Human Demon shook his head; he couldn't be certain.

But his memory was deep. At that time, he was simultaneously cultivating the Yin and Yang, and his mind and body had developed serious problems. By day he was a god, by night a demon, causing tremendous chaos.

The place where he had gone into seclusion became barren, with mountains and rivers completely destroyed. When he went mad, he tore open the earth and actually discovered a person beneath the ground vein of his seclusion—identical to the body within the immortal cocoon.

Everyone exchanged glances, chills running down their spines.

How could someone who had slept since the Primordial Era be ordinary? Later, he had run into the depths of the sun, and now was emitting the aura of a deity. The more they thought about it, the more astonishing it became.

"And then?" people asked nervously.

"He ran away, and I never saw him again." The Human Demon replied.

This was puzzling and filled with suspicion. A supremely powerful person hadn't said a single word, just burst out of the ground vein and fled—truly bizarre.

The Human Demon vaguely remembered that the man had looked utterly confused. When he ran, his physical body tore through the cosmos, vanishing in an instant.

At the time, he had been regretful because he had just transformed into a demon and needed a large amount of blood and flesh, but he had missed his prey.

Everyone was speechless. This wild old man was truly straightforward. To bring up his thoughts from back then and say them out loud now—he really would eat anything!

That might have been a deity, yet he didn't care at all.

The Human Demon was supremely terrifying. The fragment of the ancient Great Emperor's formation could block and kill all paths in the world.

The people present were stunned, then all thought of something unsettling. This person had appeared over a million years ago?

The Human Demon wouldn't make a mistake. If this was true, there were too many strange aspects. Had he been preserved using Divine Source?

But the wild old man clearly stated it wasn't so—he hadn't seen any Divine Source wrapping.

Duan De had spent his entire life searching through tombs, saying he was seeking treasures, wanting to dig up everything in the graves. That was somewhat inexplicable.

What he was looking for seemed far more precious than these things!

"If you're familiar with him, I won't make a move." Although the wild old man said this, a fiery gleam appeared in his eyes, as if he had locked onto a powerful prey.

"This fatty's meat... doesn't taste good!"

"Ancestor, your appetite is good enough. I can take you to the Fire Qilin Cave and the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. The Qilin and dragons there are definitely plump and sturdy."

A group of people stopped him, truly afraid he might crunch and chew up Duan De. Although the unscrupulous Taoist had a strange origin, he was still a friend after all.

The Human Demon didn't move. Immortal light like silk threads emanated from his eyes, staring at that cocoon as if trying to see through everything.

"He's not that person from back then..." The wild old man actually spoke such an ethereal sentence.

Everyone was confused, all looking at him.

"The aura of the physical body is the same, but the soul is different. This soul hasn't left the mark of time; its age isn't very great." The Human Demon continued.

People were stunned. There were many strange aspects to this, but it was hard to understand clearly all at once.

"That person from the Primordial Era could kill him tens of thousands of times with just his physical body alone." This was another shocking conclusion the Human Demon revealed.

"Ancestor, what you're saying... is it true?" People couldn't help but be alarmed.

"This physical body of his has a huge problem!" Saying this, the Human Demon's gaze blazed intensely, burning like a torch, startling everyone into retreating.

No one had expected him to show such a moved expression, losing his composure like this. He had definitely discovered something extraordinary.

"Inside his body there is... the legendary Reincarnation Seal from the myths, and there are actually four of them!" The wild and untamed Human Demon old man revealed a shocked expression.
