Thinking of this, Gu Shi quickly asked, "Has the Xiuxian world ever had contact with other worlds? Can you tell me in detail?"

"Let me think about it."

Xie Yuanchuan recounted the incident slowly as he recalled the past: "I don't know much about this incident. It happened about fifty years after those guys started to figure out how to leave.

By then, they had a rough idea of ​​how to divide space, so they shifted their research focus to finding new worlds.

Gu Shi asked again: "Didn't the Heavenly Dao provide you with any help?"

Xie Yuanchuan shook his head, "Heaven has already allowed us to exploit many loopholes in letting us leave, so naturally they won't provide us with any additional help.

Moreover, if we can’t even figure out how to solve these problems, how can we deal with the crisis after we leave?”

After explaining this clearly, Xie Yuanchuan continued the previous topic.

"I don't know the secrets of their research, I only know that they finally succeeded in contacting another world through their attempts.

When we came into contact with that world, it happened to be invaded by extraterritorial demons.

In order to obtain more intelligence and gain experience in locating new worlds, we conducted a lot of exchanges with that world at that time."

Gu Shi wondered: Has that world also been attacked by demons? It seems the probability of it being the same world has greatly increased. But the time doesn't quite match up. Is it because of the time difference between the two worlds?

"The results of our final exchange were quite encouraging. With our firsthand experience with the extraterritorial demons, we made many improvements to the original barrier and even conducted experiments in that world.

Although I don't have any other strengths, I do have some experience in combat. I've personally been to that world and slew demons, so I've witnessed their fighting methods."

Gu Shi then remembered that since Xie Yuanchuan was from the Wanjian Sect, he was most likely a sword cultivator. Recalling the descriptions of sword cultivators in the current immortal cultivation novels, their combat power was top-notch and they could easily challenge opponents of higher levels.

Although novels are fictional, they may have some credibility under the premise that there really was a world of immortal cultivation in this world.

After answering Gu Shi's questions, Xie Yuanchuan asked him how he learned to use the staff.

Gu Shi briefly described a series of events from the emergence of the system to its maintenance to the present, and also had to explain many related terms, such as what the system is.

He was so exhausted from talking that he finally finished his story briefly.

Gu Shi took out his water cup and took a sip, then looked at Xie Yuanchuan who was still lost in thought and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the system that suddenly appeared should be the spirit of the weapon you mentioned.

Was everything it did part of your plan? Was the contact with the other world also planned by you?"

"We did make a deal with that world, but it might not be what you think."

Xie Yuanchuan came back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts, "We wanted to prepare an escape route for those who came later. If we couldn't escape the apocalypse in the end, the weapon spirit would open a passage and send you to live there.

Things have turned out like this, probably because the spirit of the weapon has found a better way."

Seeing Gu Shi's worried look, Xie Yuanchuan comforted him, "Don't worry, the weapon spirit is different from you who were born ignorant. Since its birth, we have carefully taught it for many years and imparted a lot of knowledge to it.

You can rest assured, its wisdom is no less than that of a human. Since the spirit has chosen to change its plan, it must have its own considerations."

After listening to Xie Yuanchuan's words, Gu Shi thought about the current situation of Blue Star and had to admit that the spirit of the weapon was indeed trying its best to find a way to stabilize the situation.

Gu Shi sighed with a hint of worry, "I'm sorry, this is related to the life and death of the entire world after all, I can't help but think too much."

"It's okay, I understand how you feel."

Xie Yuanchuan waved his hand and didn't take Gu Shi's hesitation to heart.

After satisfying his curiosity, Gu Shi brought the topic back on track. "So what should I do next? Should I go find those three treasures first?"

Gu Shi still had some doubts in his heart about everything Xie Yuanchuan had just said, but this did not prevent him from following Xie Yuanchuan's words.

If all this was a lie, then he would always be able to find the flaws in the next action. If what Xie Yuanchuan said was true, then he had contributed to saving the world.

Xie Yuanchuan did not answer Gu Shi's question immediately. Instead, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Gu Shi.

"Here, take this."

Gu Shi reached out and took the slightly cool jade pendant.

Looking at the lush green leaf-shaped jade pendant in his hand, he was stunned for a second, and then he immediately realized, "Could this be...?"

Xie Yuanchuan nodded, "Yes, this is one of the three treasures. It's called the Bright Heart Leaf. Once you wear it, you will be immune to all attacks against the soul."

"All? Is there no upper limit to Mingxin Leaf's defense?" Gu Shi didn't quite believe it. If it was true, then Mingxin Leaf's strength would be too much.

"I don't know the upper limit of the Mingxin Leaf either. Since I got it, no one has ever been able to break its defense."

As he spoke, Xie Yuanchuan's voice became bitter, "But it could also be that the overall strength of our cultivation world was weakened at that time, so no one was able to test the upper limit of the Mingxin Leaf.

After all, the higher the strength, the more spiritual energy is needed to advance. People of our generation are far less powerful than our predecessors of the same age."

Gu Shi opened his mouth and was about to say something to comfort him, but Xie Yuanchuan had already returned to his calm and gentle appearance.

Seeing that he had adjusted himself, Gu Shi changed the subject.

"Once I get the Enlightenment Leaf, I've completed one-third of my collection. So where are the remaining two treasures?"

Xie Yuanchuan looked at him with some surprise, "Could it be that you haven't got the treasure map yet? Then how did you find this place?"

Gu Shi looked back with a confused look on his face, "Treasure map? What treasure map? I don't know.

When I was adventuring with my companions, I saw a strange stone on the mountain. Out of curiosity, I came over to check it out, and then I was teleported here by an inexplicable formation.

Senior Xie, I have never heard of the treasure map you mentioned.
