It was quite an exhilarating meet. The high priestess ended it with another reminder of the disaster that will come, hence its importance for Emery to succeed.
Even at this moment, Emery was still not sure about the true nature of this so-called 'disaster', but at least now, his cultivation path was clear.
He won't let the priestess' sacrifice go to waste. He'll do everything in his power to make the seed bloom before his recall.
The vision from the Gaia tree had shown a path to the east. It's irritating that the priestess' so-called 'divination' was never really clear, but he believed it will be enough to lead him to his destination.
Either way, it appeared Emery had a long journey ahead and a limited time. He needed to prepare as soon as possible.
Emery had enough coins to charter him across the sea. But there were still some things to do here, some matter to settle.
