Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 154

"No rush, let me use my spiritual power to go through it once." Gu Shihan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a calm smile.

She raised her hands slightly, and a stream of spiritual energy flowed slowly from her palms, enveloping her like a clear spring.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Shihan was completely transformed, full of energy and radiance, as if she had just undergone a baptism, exuding a fresh and refined aura.

Xingbai, who was standing next to Gu Shihan, jumped onto Gu Shihan's hand and looked at her with her foxy eyes, asking softly, "Hanhan, what happened? You seem a little strange."

Gu Shihan lowered her head upon hearing this, her gaze meeting Xingbai's. She raised her hand, extended her slender index finger, and pointed to a huge ice wall not far away. She said slowly, "Xingbai, come and take a look at the portrait inside that ice wall. I don't know why, but as soon as I see it, I feel an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

Upon hearing this, Xingbai looked in the direction Gu Shihan pointed.

When his gaze fell on the ice wall, he exclaimed in utter disbelief, "This... Hanhan, this is a portrait of Fairy Qingchen! But how could her portrait be here? It's so strange and perplexing!"

However, before Xingbai could recover from her shock, she suddenly heard a faint "clicking" sound.

The once smooth, mirror-like ice wall was now beginning to show fine cracks. These cracks, like a spider web, spread rapidly across the ice wall, threatening to cause it to crumble.

The ice wall crumbled like broken ice blocks, and the portrait floated up gently, hovered in the air once, and landed steadily in Gu Shihan's hand. She stood there, stunned and unable to move.

A melodious, ethereal female voice suddenly rang out, as if it had traveled through endless time and space from the far reaches of the sky.

"Fated one, now that you have obtained my Moonbeam Bracelet, there is a crucial matter that I need to entrust to you. On the day you successfully ascend to the Heavenly Court, you must find the traitor hiding in the Heavenly Palace, so that the Heavenly Palace can be restored to a state of purity and order."

"You who are destined to receive this message, this matter is of great importance and far-reaching impact, concerning the safety of the Heavenly Court. Are you willing to shoulder this heavy responsibility?"

Gu Shihan did not respond immediately after hearing these words.

After a slight hesitation, he spoke, "Senior, if I may be so bold as to ask, what exactly is the difference between being willing and unwilling? And how did you know that I would have the opportunity to ascend to the Heavenly Court? You must know that I am currently just a novice who has only recently embarked on the path of immortality!"

The mysterious female voice seemed to chuckle softly before replying firmly, "Fated one, your ability to successfully recognize the Moon Bracelet and come to this place is enough to prove that you possess extraordinary abilities and immense fortune, and it is also your destiny."

Therefore, ascending to the Heavenly Court is by no means difficult for you. As for whether you are willing to take on this responsibility, if you agree to it, endless benefits will await you after it is accomplished; but if you refuse, you will not only miss the opportunity, but may also suffer unexpected hardships.

You must understand, you didn't originally belong to this world. It was the Moonbracelet that chose its master, like the hand of fate, leading you here. From then on, your life trajectory underwent a dramatic change. Although the journey hasn't been smooth sailing, countless hardships and obstacles have tried to drown you in the river of time.

Fortunately, with your unwavering faith and indomitable will, you successfully rewrote your destiny. As long as you maintain this persistence and courage, and do not actively embark on the path of self-destruction, then a bright and hopeful road awaits you ahead.

A clear and ethereal female voice spoke slowly, as if it came from beyond the heavens. The voice was crisp and melodious, yet it carried an indescribable majesty, as if it could see through all the trials and tribulations Gu Shihan had experienced.

“Senior, I understand! I am willing to accept your entrustment and do my best to complete it!” Gu Shihan nodded without hesitation, her eyes shining with determination.

"Very good! You are indeed the destined one chosen by the Moonbeam Bracelet. You should know that this is something I was unable to accomplish in my lifetime. If you can truly complete the task I have assigned you in the future, perhaps we will meet again."

However, given your current cultivation level, these matters are not something you can concern yourself with too much at the moment. Therefore, this precious memory will be sealed deep within your sea of ​​consciousness, and the seal will naturally be lifted when your cultivation level is high enough.

As the words fell, the mysterious portrait suddenly transformed into countless shimmering stars, like a swarm of dancing fireflies, and gracefully flew into Gu Shihan's body.

In an instant, Gu Shihan felt an incomparably powerful force surge into his heart. His soul was like a flame that had been ignited, burning fiercely and growing rapidly.

At the same time, the previously stagnant spiritual cultivation technique also made an astonishing breakthrough, leaping to the fourth level in one fell swoop.

Not only that, his cultivation level also rose steadily, instantly advancing from the seventh level of the Golden Core stage to the eighth level.

"Hanhan, what's going on with you? How did your cultivation level increase so much in such a short time?! It's truly astonishing! Congratulations!"

Xingbai circled Gu Shihan in surprise, her eyes filled with undisguised delight.

"That's right! Sister, you were completely blank just now, like you were lost in thought. Could it be that something special happened while we weren't paying attention? Tell us about it!"

Yu Tong, who was standing to the side, couldn't contain her curiosity either. She blinked her big, bright eyes and eagerly asked.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan subconsciously reached out and gently rubbed her head, a look of confusion and bewilderment on her face: "Oh dear, to be honest, I really don't know what just happened! I just felt a sudden blur before my eyes, and then... As for the broken ice all over the ground, I clearly remember there weren't any of these things here before! And that place, how did a big hole suddenly appear? How strange! Did you two see anything unusual or hear any strange sounds?"
