Since everything has been exposed, Wu Qi simply gave up and told her everything. After all, she couldn't hide it in the first place.
"Our three-eyed apes are born with a certain innate skill in their third eye. The elder's skill is prophecy. Her third eye can see things that will happen in the future. One day, she suddenly saw a large number of demonic insects invading from another world.
"Those demonic insects parasitize living creatures, turning them into bloodthirsty monsters that wreak havoc everywhere. Both the inner and outer worlds have become slaughterhouses, filled with blood and carnage. But the Great Elder said there was someone who could prevent this disaster. Seeing me following that person, she sent me out to find that person.
"But she didn't tell me how to find that person. She just pointed me in a direction and said I would know when I met him."
Finally, Wu Qi complained, "How could I possibly know?"
Wu Qi's words contained a lot of information, and it took Xue Huan a while to digest it.
"What do the inner world and outer world mean?"
"The inner world is where we spirit beasts live, and the outer world is where you humans live. I heard from the elders in my tribe that a long time ago, the spiritual energy in this world suddenly became thinner. The more densely populated the area, the thinner the spiritual energy became. We spirit beasts had no choice but to continuously migrate to the deep mountains and old forests. Then, many powerful predecessors came together to cast a barrier to keep humans out."
Xue Huan fell into deep thought. According to Wu Qi, the outer and inner worlds were still on the same continent, but the inner world was isolated from the outside world and people could not go there.
So what about the spiritual world that Gu Yan mentioned before?
"Have you ever heard of the spirit world?"
"The Spirit World? It seems to be a small world specially opened up by powerful cultivators among you humans. It is said that the spiritual energy inside is very rich. However, due to limited space, only a small number of people can enter."
Xue Huan understood.
Spiritual energy is to monks and spiritual beasts as oxygen is to humans. Once it becomes thin, monks and spiritual beasts will feel very uncomfortable. This world with thin spiritual energy is no longer suitable for their survival, and they must open up a new home.
Humans are more advanced and have opened up a small world, and then a small number of monks standing at the top of the pyramid are able to enter. Those below the pyramid are not strong enough and cannot get a place, so they can only struggle to survive in the secular world where the spiritual energy is becoming increasingly thin, and then they decline from generation to generation and eventually become ordinary people.
As for the spiritual beasts, they live in seclusion, hiding in places where few people go.
If the disaster was not about to come, Wu Qi, the three-eyed ape, would probably never set foot in the human world in his entire life.
Because it came here from the inner world, it is probably equivalent to a fish coming ashore from the sea. It is definitely uncomfortable and unable to adapt.
Xue Huan: "Did your elders tell us when the demon worms would arrive?"
Wu Qi: "The elder said there are still two years left."
Two years...
It's a really uncomfortable feeling to know when disaster is going to strike.
But it will take at least two years, so she needs to make more preparations before that.
"You said before that you three-eyed apes all have innate skills. What are your innate skills?"
"As for me, I can see through all illusions!" Wu Qi said proudly.
Seeing through all illusions? Xue Huan pointed at herself, "Then can you see through my illusions?"
Wu Qi: "Illusion?" Her face suddenly changed, completely turning into the appearance of a monkey, and there was a third eye between her eyebrows, but that eye was closed, and the pupil was vertical.
The eye slowly opened, staring at Xue Huan, and suddenly cried out, "So you're the one I'm looking for!"
Her third eye is not always open. After all, the use of her innate skills consumes spiritual energy. When she is in the inner world, she can open it and take a look when she has nothing to do. But in the surface world, the spiritual energy is thin and she can hardly maintain her human form. How can she use her innate skills without restraint?
She couldn't just open her third eye and look at someone, right? So she didn't know that the person in front of her was the one she was looking for.
Unexpectedly, once she opened it, she actually found the person she was looking for!
No wonder the elder said that she would know it once she saw it. The elder might have seen this scene a long time ago, so he said that!
Xue Huan: “???”
Wu Qi: "There is a phoenix shadow behind you. You are the one the elders said can stop the demon insect disaster!"
Xue Huan: How come she suddenly became the savior?
However, "Phoenix Shadow? Are you seeing things?"
Wu Qi: "How could I be wrong!"
Xue Huan wondered why there was a phoenix behind her. Could it be related to her past? To be connected to a legendary beast like the phoenix, her background must be quite extraordinary.
"Ah!" Wu Qi suddenly screamed in pain and covered his forehead.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I just saw a woman placing a baby in an egg. Then, as if she sensed my gaze, she actually looked towards me. At that moment, my eyes felt like they were being stung by something."
Xue Huan listened to her description and felt that the scene was most likely what her original body had experienced as a child, and that woman was probably her mother!
But, didn't Wu Qi say her innate ability was to see through illusions? Why could she still see her past experiences? And that scene happened a long time ago. How could the woman who was suspected to be her mother be looking at Wu Qi now?
It's too fantasy.
Xue Huan asked her question. Wu Qi sat on the ground, covering his still-stirring eyes. Hearing this, he said, "Innate skills can also be advanced. I used to only be able to see through illusions, but just now I suddenly saw through phenomena to the true essence. What I just saw in you was a reflection of your past experiences."
Xue Huan understood that her third eye could not so much see through illusions as see the "truth".
"As for why that woman looked at me... I heard from the old patriarch that those powerful beings have the ability to know everything, the past and the future. Maybe at that moment she sensed what would happen in the future, so she looked at me.
"Luckily I was far away from her, otherwise I would have died just from that look."
Xue Huan: "Can you kill with just your eyes?"
"Kill you with my eyes" is just a modern joke. Can it really be realized?
Wu Qi curled his lips and said, "What's the big deal? When those powerful beings look at people, they also infuse their divine consciousness into them. How can ordinary people withstand the divine consciousness of a powerful being? Wouldn't they die just by being looked at?"
