It turns out that three hundred years ago, when Xuanji's master passed away, he gave him an Eight Treasures Compass. He told him that this compass was a divine object and that he must complete his mission according to its instructions. He also warned him not to trespass in the forbidden area, the stone bridge deep inside, or the Shangqing Temple in the back mountain, unless he waited for the destined person.
So he went to the forbidden area and saw the stone bridge and the seal, and also went to the back mountain and discovered the barrier and Shangqing Temple. He followed his master's orders and never dared to intrude easily.
He looked at the Eight Treasures Compass carefully and found nothing special, so he threw it into the space and never looked at it again.
Then he devoted himself to cultivation and seeking the truth. Naturally, his swordsmanship reached a superb level. Because Xuanji Sect was a hidden sect, it was not well known to the world.
Three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. Old Man Xuanji had successively learned talismans, spells, and formations, and even made some progress in alchemy and refining.
One day he accidentally discovered that the Eight Treasures Compass in the space was flashing, so he took it out and remembered that his master said that this thing was a magical object.
Then he heard an angry voice saying that he had trapped it for three hundred years and almost destroyed it, and asked him to complete the task according to the prompts.
Mu Li couldn't help but exclaim when she heard this, "Isn't this a system? Could it be that the master is a time traveler?"
"Right, right, right. The compass says what kind of system it is. I must complete the task as required, otherwise I will be punished!" Elder Xuanji was shocked when he heard Mu Li's words. "Disciple, how did you know?"
"Uh...I heard people in the underworld talking about this kind of thing when I went there this time." Mu Li said nonsense seriously.
"I can't just say that I'm a time traveler from who knows how many years in the future. I've already stopped reading this kind of quick-travel system novels, right?" Mu Li thought to herself.
Elder Xuanji and Mu Feng were shocked. No wonder Li'er was born different. It turned out she was from the distant future...
Mu Li had no idea that her true feelings had already been exposed in front of her family, and she kept complaining in her heart.
"Master, what next?" Mu Li was eager to eat melon.
"Then one day he told me that I must accept a disciple and told me the location. So I met your eldest brother and brought him back to Xuanjimen."
"Master, were the other brothers also asked to be collected by that compass? What else did it ask you to do?" Mu Li asked with a frown.
"Yes, in these years it has not asked me to do anything other than accept a disciple." said old man Xuanji.
"Master, what about me? Is it also a system requirement that you accept me as your disciple?" Mu Li asked again.
"Of course not. Master was originally invited by Xiaojiu to attend his sister's full moon banquet. But when he saw you as his master, he had a sense of destiny and felt that you were his apprentice. So Master immediately decided to accept you as his last disciple." Old Man Xuanji still can't explain why he had that feeling at the time.
"Master, when we were little, was it the system's requirement that you asked us to go to the back mountain one by one?" Xuan Yiheng asked doubtfully.
"Not really. I just wanted to test whether anyone among you is the destined one." Elder Xuanji felt a little guilty. "Also, when you went to the back mountain, your master followed you quietly, fearing that you would encounter danger."
"So that's how it is. So you already knew that Xiao Qi was the person Shangqing Temple was waiting for?"
Old man Xuanji nodded.
"Master, can you please take out the Eight Treasures Compass and show it to us?" Mu Li was very curious. She had never seen what the system looked like.
"Yes, Master, take it out and let us see it." The others also echoed.
"Okay." Old Man Xuanji took out the Eight Treasures Compass, which shone with a mysterious light. Everyone came closer to observe, but could not discern the mystery.
"Is this the so-called system?" Mu Li reached out and touched the compass curiously. Suddenly, the compass emitted a strong light, enveloping Mu Li.
After the light faded, a line of words appeared before Mu Li's eyes: "It has been detected that the host has met the conditions for starting the main quest. Do you want to start it immediately?"
Mu Li looked at the prompt in front of her in surprise, her heart full of doubts.
"Master?" Mu Li called out, but everyone seemed to be unable to hear her voice and continued talking to themselves.
"Master, what's going on?" The disciples were also surprised.
"I don't know this either. It has been in my hands for three hundred years, and this phenomenon has never happened." Old Man Xuanji also looked puzzled.
Mu Li took a deep breath. It seemed that she could only figure it out on her own.
"System? What is the main quest?" Mu Li asked tentatively, remembering the novels she had read before.
"Host, this main quest requires you to go to another plane to complete it."
"What plane?" Mu Li didn't want to leave here.
"It's where the master was in his previous life."
"Then what will my identity be when I go there?" Mu Li asked in surprise.
"You are the daughter of the richest man in the Magic City. You were stolen and abandoned by someone with ulterior motives at birth. It was the head of a Taoist temple who saved you, took you in, and raised you until you were three and a half years old. The specific host will be discovered slowly after you go there."
"Okay, so what's my mission?"
"Change the ending of the richest man in Shanghai, whose family was destroyed."
"What? Isn't this too difficult?"
"Host, the mission is complete, and the reward is quite generous."
"I won't go to Fenghou either. I'm just a 3-year-old kid, what can I do to change that?"
"Host, the system will prompt you about the future direction of the characters and the plot. Don't worry, you just need to make the right choice when the time comes."
"Okay, what's the mission reward?"
