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

Chapter 43 Mysterious Heaven Realm
When Gu Shihan touched the stone statue, it suddenly shone with light, enveloping him and rendering him unable to move.

A soft female voice sounded: "Hello, my reincarnation. The fact that you can come here shows that you have a firm mind and have passed the test I left behind. There is hope for your return."

My name is Qingluo. I was once the younger sister of Fairy Qingchen. However, I was targeted by a demon and had to disintegrate myself to enter the cycle of reincarnation. This stone statue was made by my elder sister Qingchen herself, containing a wisp of her remnant soul, waiting for you to return in your next life.

"Huh?! You are my past life?" Gu Shihan asked.

"Yes, Nine Heavens, you must go back to Nine Heavens. That is the place we should protect. We lured you here today only to destroy this stone statue."

You have returned. Its existence will become an obstacle for you, a demon in your heart. Take the power I left behind, and the statue will self-destruct.

Of course, since your cultivation level is still weak, this memory will be sealed until you ascend to the Immortal Realm.

As soon as the woman's voice fell, a ball of white energy rushed into Gu Shihan's body and quickly disappeared into her dantian.

"This energy ball is not usually used. It will only be activated when your life is threatened during an advancement. Be careful!"

Before Gu Shihan's astonishment could even subside, the stone statue collapsed with a crash, turning into dust and disappearing without a trace.

Gu Shihan stood there blankly, not knowing what had happened, with only a long cavern in front of her.

"Hanhan, there's nothing here?! Get out of here! Water's flowing into the cave! Run!" Xingbai shouted.

Without thinking, Gu Shihan grabbed Xingbai and ran out of the cave. As soon as they came out, they heard a loud "boom".

The cave collapsed, the cave collapsed, and it was submerged under the lake.

Emerging from the water, Gu Shihan noticed that the fog seemed to have thinned out a bit. Unable to figure out why, she put the matter out of her mind.

The space trembled slightly. Gu Shihan scanned it with her divine sense and was overjoyed. The Fire Phoenix was showing signs of waking up, and she estimated that the day it would truly awaken was not far off.

Gu Shihan didn't know how long she had been in the Yangqi Mountains when the Xuan Tian Token in her spatial bracelet suddenly burst out of her storage magic treasure.

The Xuan Tian Token shone brightly, enveloping Gu Shihan. Gu Shihan only had time to send Xing Bai into the space before she disappeared from the spot.

"vomit……!"

Gu Shihan felt her stomach churning and her vision blurring. Despite possessing spiritual power, the dizziness made it impossible for her to move.

What's going on? Gu Shihan remembers that the last few times she was teleported, she didn't feel this bad. Could it be that the teleportation array was different this time, and the teleportation token is the difference?

Gu Shihan could only see a gray sky. She dared not relax for a moment, remembering that she still had the calming pill.

She struggled to take out the pill bottle and poured the pills into her mouth. One pill fell out, and she still couldn't swallow the other two. It wasn't until the fifth pill that she finally managed to swallow it.

Overjoyed, he dropped the elixir bottle somewhere with a tremor in his hand.

Gu Shihan endured the discomfort and swallowed the pill in her mouth. With a "thud," she fell to the ground.

She couldn't be careless in an unfamiliar place. She quickly got up and looked around. She noticed that the air was very humid and had a faint smell of blood.

Where is this place? Gu Shihan recalled the jade slip given to him by his master, but still could not find a suitable record. Could it really be as the legend says, that what he saw was different every time he entered?

As soon as they landed, Xingbai started clamoring to come out. Gu Shihan felt a little flustered, though she couldn't quite explain why.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be afraid. She's experienced everything in her past life and has done plenty of fighting and killing in this one. Even evil cultivators, ghosts, and ghost-devouring creatures haven't frightened her. So what could possibly make her panic today?

"Xingbai, it's good that you came out! I feel very tired and need to rest for a while. Please protect me."

"Hanhan, why don't you go into the space to rest? It's safe there!" Gu Shihan thought about it and agreed. Anyway, she hadn't seen any living creatures here. She tried to enter the space with her mind, but failed several times.

"Can't get in!"

Xingbai tried it, and it was possible to get in and out.

"If we can't get in, we can't get in. I'll just rest against the tree trunk for a bit."

Gu Shihan leaned against the tree trunk, closing her eyes to rest. Suddenly, a pang of fear shot through her heart, and she abruptly opened her eyes and jumped away.

"Hanhan, this tree is a monster. Luckily you ran fast, or it would have bitten you," Xingbai said, still shaken.

Gu Shihan calmed herself down and carefully looked around. The trees were green, the trunks were green, the weeds were green, and even the ground was green.

It's just that the shades of green are different. "Hanhan, I understand. This is not a good place. This is the Green Demon Land. Anything green is dangerous."

"The Demon Realm? The jade slip seems to have mentioned something about the Demon Realm, but basically no one is teleported into it. Is my luck good or bad?"

Gu Shihan hesitated for a moment, then her heart tightened. It was said that there were no living creatures in the Demon Land, and any living creatures that were there had become their nourishment.

Gu Shihan dared not linger. After eating something, she searched for a way out. Half a day passed, and her heart seemed to be beating faster and faster, as if it were being controlled by something.

Xingbai also looked listless; her expression became serious, and her back stiffened.

"Squeak...!" Gu Shihan was momentarily dazed when she stepped onto a small green blade of grass.

The grass danced wildly, and the nearby flowers, grasses, and trees all went berserk, as if trying to engulf and drag Gu Shihan away.

Gu Shihan held back her heart, which was about to leap out of her chest, and a fireball bounced into the chaotic green.

The green world instantly erupted into chaos; wherever Gu Shihan landed, countless branches would entwine around her.

If it weren't for the flames protecting her, Gu Shihan felt she wouldn't have been able to leave this Green Demon Land.

A tree branch lashed out, but Gu Shihan dodged it and swung his longsword at the green tree trunk.

"Crack!" The tree trunk was split open, and a green crystal the size of a soybean floated about a foot above the ground.

Gu Shihan reached out to pick it up, but missed several times. She was thinking about how to get the green crystal.

"Hanhan, you can't use your hands to take it, just use your divine sense!"

As expected, only divine sense could be used, and the green crystal fell into the jade box.

Gu Shihan tried several more green trees and flowers, but not all of them had green crystals. After harvesting, she found four green crystals and learned how to find them.

Gu Shihan stopped attacking aimlessly and obtained more than a dozen green crystals after an hour. She was exhausted.

It took Gu Shihan ten days to leave the Green Demon Land, during which she gained over a thousand green crystals, which can be considered a worthwhile achievement.

Gu Shihan glanced back at the green that made her want to vomit, feeling as if her eyes had turned green.

With a wry smile, she randomly chose a direction. She wasn't in a hurry because the Xuan Tian Secret Realm would be open for three years, so she had plenty of time.
