Golden Finger Appears 2

Ethereal Immortal: "This one should be a descendant of the Witch Tribe Maiden."

That was the end of the messages. Clearly, everyone in the Chat Group doubted Wei Yunxi's identity. After thinking it over, she decided to tell the truth. If the people in this group were close to the "Witch Tribe Maiden," then lying would be pointless and would only make everyone reject her.

Having made up her mind, Wei Yunxi stepped forward and raised a hand to touch the transparent screen, then used her consciousness to enter what she wanted to say.

"Hello, everyone! I am a descendant of the 'Witch Tribe Maiden.' I accidentally activated this Chat Group, and because I encountered difficulties, I shamelessly accepted the things all the seniors sent over. This junior has been discourteous."

A prompt box immediately popped up on the chat interface:

"User change detected. Change to a new username?"

Wei Yunxi thought for a moment and decided to change it. That would make it easier to distinguish her from the "Witch Tribe Maiden" and prevent others from finding her irritating.

"Change."

"Please enter a new username."

After considering it, based on her past experience hanging around chat groups, Wei Yunxi did not use her real name. She chose "Fleeting Smoke" as her new username, implying that everything she had experienced was but fleeting smoke.

"Username changed successfully. Welcome 'Fleeting Smoke' to the Cross-Server Chat Group. Throwing flowers!"

Wei Yunxi's mouth twitched at the words on the screen. Before the other users could react, she continued typing:

"I heard from my family that my mother went to a very distant place. The family has been unable to contact her, and the only thing we can confirm is that she is still alive. Do any of you know where my mother has gone?"

This time, the others in the Chat Group did not remain silent. Ethereal Immortal was the first to send a message:

"The users of this Chat Group are your ancestors, but they certainly are not your mother. Based on the flow of time on your side, the 'Witch Tribe Maiden' has not logged into the Chat Group for ten thousand years."

Wei Yunxi froze at those words. More than ten thousand years! The next second, she frowned and continued typing:

"Seniors, the vessel for this Chat Group was left to me by my mother. It bears my maternal clan's surname and was not seized by me."

The seniors absolutely could not misunderstand this point.

Star Trek: "We did not mean to doubt you. Only a user's direct descendants can open this Chat Group. I received it from my grandfather."

Ox-Head and Horse-Face: "Same here!"

Survival is the Hardest Truth: "Because my environment underwent drastic changes, I awakened supernatural abilities and activated my Ancestral Jade Pendant, which allowed me to enter the Chat Group. I did not doubt you."

Wei Yunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she send private messages to Ethereal Immortal and Ox-Head and Horse-Face:

"Seniors, did you know my ancestors? Could you tell me about them? And what did you mean when you mentioned the calamity that destroyed my ancestral clan?"

Ethereal Immortal seemed quite interested in talking. A moment later, they were the first to send over a long passage. Only then did Wei Yunxi learn that her ancestors had quite an extraordinary background.

Her ancestors had been the High Priests of the Shaman clan. Not long after the Weiyu Realm had formed billions of years ago, the Heavenly Dao had only just come into being. The Shaman Clan was responsible for helping all living beings communicate with heaven and earth, thereby helping them grow and multiply.

At the time, the Shaman Clan was immensely powerful. The power they possessed was not something ordinary people could wield, and they were practically revered as deities. Yet the Shaman Clan reproduced with great difficulty, and nearly every generation produced only one High Priest.

Before a High Priest's lifespan ran out, they would pray to heaven and, following heaven's guidance, locate the next High Priest. They would then bring that person back to be trained, so that once they grew up, they could assume the position of High Priest.

But an unforeseen change occurred in the generation of the Witch Tribe Maiden. She could not determine the location of the next High Priest. At first, she believed she simply was not powerful enough. Later, she logged into the Chat Group and learned from hints given by Ethereal Immortal and the Deity that the problem did not lie with her. Rather, the Heavenly Dao no longer needed the Shaman Clan's assistance and wished to reclaim the power it had bestowed upon them. The Shaman Clan was facing decline.

At first, the Witch Tribe Maiden did not believe it. She did not want her clansmen to march toward a dead end under her leadership, so she tried every possible way to communicate with the Heavenly Dao. But the result was exactly as Ethereal Immortal and the Deity had expected.

Afterward, the Witch Tribe Maiden did not log into the Chat Group for a very long time. The last time she came online, she had asked everyone in the Chat Group for help. She needed resources to allow her clansmen to continue on.

For the sake of their old friendship, everyone sent the Witch Tribe Maiden some resources, hoping they could help her. But she did not accept them, nor did she ever come online again—until today.

Ox-Head and Horse-Face were far more direct:

"The Shaman Clan has already entered reincarnation."

After hearing all this, Wei Yunxi did not know what expression to make. It now seemed that she was the second user of this Chat Group, and Witch Tribe bloodline likely flowed through her veins. Otherwise, she would not have been able to log in successfully.

But another question immediately surfaced:

"Since the vessel for the Chat Group was in my mother's hands, why didn't she discover it?"

Star Trek: "Activating the Chat Group requires bloodline and spiritual power."

Ox-Head and Horse-Face: "That's right—bloodline and Soul Power. You were able to activate it because your bloodline reverted to its ancestors, and with your Soul Power added in, you were able to come online successfully."

Wei Yunxi translated that for herself. In other words, she was lucky. She could activate it because the Witch Tribe bloodline in her was stronger than it was in her mother, and because after cultivating, she had gained divine sense. Once those two requirements were met, she could successfully log into the Chat Group.

But then another question popped into Yunxi's mind. How had Wei Yunqing activated the Chat Group?

She entered her question into the Chat Group: If an outsider obtained this vessel, could she possibly activate the Chat Group?

Ox-Head and Horse-Face: No. To anyone other than you, this is just an ordinary accessory. If they are lucky, at most they can activate this space.

Survival is the Hardest Truth: Even if they only activate the space, it is still a Portable Space. Their physical body can enter it, making it a trump card for preserving their life.

Yunxi understood in an instant. With Wei Yunqing's Protagonist Halo, what she had activated must have been the space—a Portable Space that could store items and preserve her life was indeed a trump card.

Ethereal Immortal: "A friendly reminder: before your divine soul is strong enough, you cannot use the Chat Group for long periods. All of the Chat Group's functions consume your Soul Power."

The moment Wei Yunxi saw that message, her heart jolted. She immediately lowered her head to look at her consciousness body. It really had become a little fainter than before. Hurriedly, she said:

"Seniors, this junior has only just begun cultivating, and my divine soul is somewhat weak, so I cannot stay long. Do any of you have a Concealment Technique? Could you gift one to this junior? This junior would be endlessly grateful. If you need anything in the future, you may tell this junior. This junior is in the Cultivation Realm."

Wei Yunxi had put it rather vaguely, but she believed the Cultivation Realm she lived in surely had good things that would attract the people in the group.

Sure enough, a moment later, Ox-Head and Horse-Face and Ethereal Immortal sent her items online.

Ox-Head and Horse-Face: "You are too weak right now. Cultivate your divine soul first. This Soul Refining Art will help you build a foundation."

Ethereal Immortal: "You are quite lucky. I happen to have a Low-Grade Immortal Artifact I do not need. I'll give it to you to conceal your cultivation and aura. Just take it and play with it. No need to return the favor—consider it a gift for joining the group."

This one was clearly a wealthy and extravagant sort. Seeing that the other party had casually offered an Immortal Artifact, Wei Yunxi clicked her tongue in amazement. Although they said there was no need for a return gift, she would not take that seriously.

Drawing on her experience in the workplace, she immediately thanked them and stated that once she had achieved success in cultivation, she would prepare a proper return gift. Then she hurriedly withdrew her consciousness from the Wooden Token Space.

When Wei Yunxi's consciousness returned to her body, she felt a wave of dizziness. She knew that was because she had consumed too much Soul Power. After all, she was only a five-year-old child.

Just then, the Isolation Formation was disturbed.
