"who!"
After hearing the strange voice coming from behind him, Gu Shi quickly turned around, with the staff in his hand already vigilantly blocking in front of him. If there was anything wrong, he could take action immediately.
The figure who suddenly appeared seemed unaware of the tense atmosphere between the two. He smiled and said, "Relax, child. I mean no harm to you."
Standing in front of Gu Shi was a handsome man with an immortal-like temperament.
He was wearing a loose white robe with special dark green patterns embroidered on the sleeves and corners. A green jade pendant hung on the belt around his waist. This simple outfit revealed an inexplicable majesty on him.
Although this person looked like a good person, Gu Shi did not let his guard down easily.
"Are you... from the Wanjian Sect? Did you bring me here to tell me something?"
The middle-aged man sighed with an ambiguous tone, "It seems that I am the first one to meet you."
"You guessed right. My name is Xie Yuanchuan, and I'm one of the elders of the Wanjian Sect." Xie Yuanchuan didn't mind Gu Shi's vigilance towards him. Instead, he answered his question very gently.
"As for why I brought you here, I believe that now that you've grown up, you've more or less understood your own peculiarities.
At this time, the outside world should be under threat from foreign enemies, and you are the person we have been waiting for to break the deadlock."
Gu Shi frowned and looked at him with a puzzled look.
Xie Yuanchuan did not directly answer Gu Shi's doubts, but instead told a story about the past. "I don't know how many related deeds have been passed down to later generations, so I will start from the beginning."
"A long, long time ago, when the spiritual energy of this world was still abundant, the entire world was divided into two parts: the world of immortal cultivation and the world of mortals.
The spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin, while the opposite is true in the world of immortals.
Mortals with spiritual roots can sense spiritual energy and embark on the path of cultivating immortality. They are called immortal cultivators, and I am one of them.
"Perhaps because we were born at the wrong time, our generation has faced a major problem that needs to be solved since birth—for some reason, the spiritual energy in the world of immortal cultivation is decreasing day by day."
"The world of immortal cultivation is not like the mortal world, where countries are the boundaries. Instead, it uses sects or families to divide forces.
In the face of such a fundamentally serious problem, all the prominent forces in the world of immortal cultivation had no choice but to put aside their past conflicts and unite to find a way out for themselves.
"With everyone's support, the Tianji Pavilion, a sect expert in divination and predicting the future, expended a great deal of effort and finally figured out the direction of the future.
The head of Tianji Pavilion told us that the decline of spiritual energy is an inevitable part of the world's progress, and it will not be until the very distant future that it will be revived in another form.
Before that, all immortal cultivators will be lost in history."
"We are unwilling to die out like this. In order to grasp the last ray of hope in the chaos, we have made the decision to separate the world of immortal cultivation from this world, and then take it to seek new opportunities in distant places.
Because most of the spiritual energy that disappeared from the immortal realm flowed into the mortal world and then disappeared, doing this can temporarily maintain the current spiritual energy level, giving us more time."
"But splitting off a part of the world is definitely not that easy. Apart from anything else, it will definitely bring heavy damage to the world. Heaven will not allow us to do this.
Fortunately, when the head of Tianji Pavilion was making deductions, he also saw that this world would suffer a world-destroying disaster in the future due to the invasion of extraterritorial demons.
So we negotiated with the Heavenly Dao, and on the condition of helping it survive the catastrophe of world destruction, we got it to agree to our act of dividing the world, but the fragments of the world we could take away were very small.
Gu Shi thought silently: The so-called world-destroying disaster should refer to the current demon invasion. Isn’t the leader of Tianji Pavilion a bit too powerful? He can even calculate things that will happen so long in the future.
"Under the guidance of the Tianji Pavilion, we have made many preparations, three of which are the most important.
First, we set up a large barrier on the outer layer of this world, which is large enough to protect the entire world and prevent foreign invasion.
Second, with the joint efforts of all the top weapon refiners, they successfully developed a top-notch magic weapon with a spirit.
We have left it with many resources that can be mobilized, allowing it to sleep in a secret space until the catastrophe is approaching, at which time it will wake up and carry out the tasks we assign it.
By then, the weapon spirit will take the initiative to adapt to this era and complete its mission in an appropriate manner."
After hearing what Xie Yuanchuan said, Gu Shi couldn't help but wonder if the weapon spirit he was talking about was the so-called system?
There was also the barrier outside that world, which Isidore seemed to have vaguely described to him.
"Finally, it's you."
Gu Shi's originally scattered thoughts immediately gathered back, and he prepared to listen attentively to the next words. He had a premonition that what Xie Yuanchuan said next would reveal the secret of his life that had troubled him for a long time.
"There's a legend circulating in our world of immortal cultivation that says there was an ancient tree when the world was first created, protecting this newborn world from catastrophe.
After the world emerged from its dangerous newborn period, this ancient tree transformed into three treasures, scattered throughout the world."
"Although we have put a lot of effort into collecting these three treasures, we are unable to restore them to their original appearance as ancient trees. Fortunately, the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion has provided a solution.
Well, speaking of which, I really never thought that those guys who were always mysterious could actually be so reliable, especially their Pavilion Master..."
"Well, anyway, under the guidance of the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, we found the best piece of wood heart we could find, and then used other wood treasures and secret techniques to carefully nurture it for nearly a hundred years.
Finally, I got a very special treasure."
Gu Shi pursed his lips and said softly, "It's me, right?"
Xie Yuanchuan nodded, "Yes, from that time on, you can be considered to have been born, but your consciousness has been dormant.
We placed the wooden heart you were on in the specific location specified by the Tianji Pavilion Master. He said that when the time is right, you will naturally find your parents and be born smoothly."
"Now it seems that his calculations were correct. You grew up smoothly and found me step by step according to the clues I laid out in advance."
"What a brilliant plan!"
