Seeing Xinghe Brings Good Fortune!

Hua Xichen and Zheng Yu, along with the remaining teammates, no longer dared to continue searching for their missing comrade.

They had no choice but to try every possible way to find a way out!

But it didn't work...

They discovered that no matter where they went, they would always end up back where they started... and each time they returned to the starting point, a teammate would mysteriously disappear!

Zheng Yu was almost on the verge of collapse!

Hua Xichen knew that the Great Prophecy Art could no longer predict the future, so he activated the Hua Xichen's Sage's Descent within the Great Prophecy Art. Instead of calculating the future, he calculated his own fortune!

This time, Sage's Descent and provided the answer!

"Seeing the stars is auspicious!"

After seeing the Wise One's answer, Hua Xichen was completely baffled!

What does "seeing a star is auspicious" mean?

Where are the stars?

The sky was a hazy gray, there wasn't even a single star in sight...

Where did these stars come from?

Over the next few hours, his teammates disappeared one by one, leaving Hua Xichen and Zheng Yu alone in the end!

Just when the two were filled with utter despair, constantly fearing that they or the other would be the next to disappear, they arrived at a very mysterious place, where there was a gate formed by stars...

The door seemed to lead to an unknown world...

When Hua Xichen saw this star gate, he was incredibly excited!

Seeing a star is auspicious!

Does this mean that the Star Gate is the path out?

Just as Hua Xichen and Zheng Yu were about to enter, they suddenly heard a voice!

"Hua Xichen! Zheng Yu! Don't go in... if you go in you're all dead!"

The two were startled awake by the sound!

For a brief moment, they found themselves seemingly losing their senses, heading straight towards the Star Gate!

Only then did they realize that their missing teammates might have been similar to them, inexplicably drawn to the power of the Star Gate and ultimately disappearing within it!

Just as Hua Xichen and Zheng Yu were filled with gratitude for the person who woke them up, a scene that sent chills down their spines appeared!

Although the person who awakened them flashed by in the endless fog, they still saw him clearly!

It's Senior Brother Xinghe!

The person who awakened them was actually Senior Brother Xinghe?

Hua Xichen and Zheng Yu knew perfectly well that Senior Brother Xinghe couldn't possibly be here!

But just now, the two of them saw and even heard Senior Brother Xinghe's voice at the same time, and that voice even saved their lives.

Therefore, it's impossible for this to be fake!

But when they looked for Senior Brother Xinghe again, they found that he had disappeared without a Senior Brother Xinghe!

At that Hua Xichen suddenly realized what the Wise One's guidance truly meant!

Seeing a star is auspicious!

The star we're about to see isn't the star of the Star Gate, but rather the star of Senior Brother Xinghe!

That means the Wise One is telling himself that Senior Brother Xinghe will save their lives this time!

And that is indeed the case. Without Senior Brother Xinghe who appeared earlier, Hua Xichen and Zheng Yu would probably be completely lost by now!

Although we are not lost in the Star Gate, we are still trapped with nowhere to go!

At that very moment, Zheng Yu made a bold decision!

"Since seeing stars is auspicious, let's head in the direction where Senior Brother Xinghe disappeared! Perhaps that direction is our only chance to survive!"

At this Hua Xichen chose to listen to Zheng Yu...

The two then continued walking in the direction where they had seen Senior Brother Xinghe... They walked for an unknown amount of time, and just when they thought that perhaps none of them would get out, they discovered that their Spirit Power was gradually recovering!

The moment they felt their Spirit Power return, the two embraced and wept bitterly!

Because they knew they had finally emerged from the depths of the Land of Bewildered Spirits!

And indeed, the power of the Great Prophecy Art was restored!

The two of them finally emerged from the Land of Bewildered Spirits!

The moment they left the Land of Bewildered Spirits, the two rushed to the Vast Heaven Holy Land to inform all the powerful figures there of their Land of Bewildered Spirits...

But this isn't over yet...

After leaving the Land of Bewildered Spirits, Zheng Yu and Hua Xichen realized something was wrong...

Although they regained their Spirit Power, their bodies became increasingly weak, and not only were their bodies weakening, but their various abilities were also declining rapidly!

Listening to Zheng Yu and Hua Xichen's account, Chu Xinghe also noticed something was wrong... because the two of them were dirty and injured earlier, so he hadn't looked closely!

If you look closely now, you'll find that both Hua Xichen and Zheng Yu have quite a few gray hairs on their heads!

This white hair doesn't refer to what was left after burning one's life or soul in battle.

These gray hairs... are a sign of aging!

The decline in their physical strength and Spirit Power is a sign of aging!

Cultivators are different from ordinary people. Ordinary people don't have much Spirit Power, so as they age, their organs deteriorate... their skin deteriorates... and they eventually look like old people!

However, because cultivators possess powerful Spirit Power, they can normally maintain the appearance of a young person even if they are hundreds of years old!

What the heck? Why can they maintain their youthful appearance while the elders still look like old people?!

It's actually quite simple... Back in the era of the Great Elder and his contemporaries, the Four Continents had not yet been merged, and their cultivation speed was Dharma Aspect to that of today.

Therefore, in the era of the Great Elder, by the time one had cultivated to the Ninth Rank, one might actually have looked quite old!

Therefore, the elders had become accustomed to their original appearance. Even if they could return to their youth, the elder would still retain the appearance he had at that time!

Cultivators who do not reach the Ninth Rank will experience a continuous aging of their physical appearance!

However, once a cultivator reaches a certain level, their appearance will basically no longer change!

Even when a cultivator ages, it is the Spiritual Qi within their body that begins to decline first. As their Spirit Power weakens, they will eventually age and die just like a normal person!

But how old are Hua Xichen and Zheng Yu in front of us?

With their cultivation levels, they should have countless years left to live, yet they are now rapidly aging.

This is clearly not right!

"They lost their Life Soul, one of the three souls. Without their Life Soul... they will begin to age continuously... until... they die..."

Elder He now had his answer!

However, as Elder He, the master of miscellaneous knowledge, spoke, the Clan Head Hua and Cheng Xiaotian hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Elder He!

"Old He... think of something!"

"Elder He... please, no matter what, you must help us. Whatever we need, the Hua Clan will provide!"

"Both of you... as the Great Sage once said, a lost soul cannot be recreated! I truly have no way to fix this... unless... it is found..."

Elder He said this, all the other bigwigs present gathered around.

You should know that this wasn't just about Zheng Yu and Hua Xichen!

And what about the prodigies from each family...?

Hua Xichen and Zheng Yu lost their Life Souls, but the other families lost even their people.

That's why everyone's eyes turned to Chu Xinghe the moment he entered!

Because the reason is simple... it all seems to be related to Chu Xinghe.

Who exactly is Chu Xinghe, who suddenly appeared and called out to Hua Xichen and Zheng Yu?

Everyone knew very well that it couldn't be Chu Xinghe...

According to the timeline, Chu Xinghe was in the Beast Taming Palace at that time, and even the Xinghe Divinity was there. Many powerful figures have seen both Chu Xinghe and the Xinghe Divinity at the same time, which is impossible to fake!

Therefore, the one appearing deep within the Land of Bewildered Spirits could not possibly be Chu Xinghe!

But if you say it wasn't Chu Xinghe, why would he know Zheng Yu and Hua Xichen, and even wake them up?

And the strangest thing is that everyone knows Chu Xinghe is the Father of Fortune!

Hua Xichen and Zheng Yu simply followed the direction in which Chu Xinghe disappeared and found their way out!

If Chu Xinghe were to enter the Land of Bewildered Spirits, wouldn't he just rampage and kill everything in sight?

So now all eyes are on Chu Xinghe, hoping that he can personally make a trip to the Land of Bewildered Spirits!

"This matter requires further consideration!"

It was Gu Mingchao who spoke. At this moment, Gu Mingchao's gaze swept across the entire scene. Gu Mingchao was no longer the Gu Mingchao Watch Quietly as Things Change, but the Great Emperor of the Human Race Gu Mingchao!

Gu Mingchao exuded Supreme aura of pressure that no one could rival!

The oppressive aura seemed to be telling everyone present that his words were absolute decree! An unchangeable will!

Gu Mingchao n't stupid; he knew very well what this group's purpose was today!

They wanted Xinghe to go in and help...

But that's Land of Bewildered Spirits; Gu Mingchao himself perished there. Under these circumstances, does Xinghe really have a chance?

So Gu Mingchao is warning everyone to stop using moral blackmail!

Those are all things I used when I was young. If anyone tries to morally blackmail my Xinghe family, don't blame me for kidnapping your whole family!

"Old Gu..." Cheng Xiaotian wanted to speak.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Gu Mingchao's eyes, eyes that held an inviolable will!

At this moment, Cheng Xiaotian knew that Gu Mingchao would absolutely not make any concessions today, not even to his closest friend!

Cheng Xiaotian understood that Chu Xinghe was the Future of Vast Heaven Holy Land, so Gu Mingchao would not allow Chu Xinghe to take any risks!

"Elder! Send all the sect leaders and elders to rest first, and focus on treating Hua Xichen and Zheng Yu. As for other matters, we can discuss them another day! Xinghe, I have recently gained some insights and need to impart some knowledge to you. You will return to the Haotian Palace with me! All disciples of the Haotian Palace, listen to my command: I am taking Xinghe into seclusion. Without my authorization, no one is allowed to enter Haotian Palace!"

"Yes!" The Grand Elder and all the elders present bowed and accepted the order!

Everyone knew that Gu Mingchao did this on purpose, because everyone in the Four Continents knew that Xinghe was a kind and righteous child, Gu Mingchao was afraid that Xinghe would be swayed by others outside.

Therefore, Gu Mingchao took Chu Xinghe away directly, not giving anyone else a chance to contact Chu Xinghe.

As for this Land of Bewildered Spirits... Gu Mingchao didn't want to embark on Xinghe adventure...
