Revitalization of Spirituality: My Front Door Leads to a Miniature Universe

Large beads of sweat dripped from Xiao Xuan's forehead, his eyes filled with fear and panic, his fingers unconsciously gripping the corner of his clothes with great unease.

His eyes finally settled on the corpses of the Yin Corpse Sect members not far away. Hundreds of them lay there, their deaths horribly gruesome and sending chills down one's spine.

"Is this the power of the gods? They fell with just one strike."

He swallowed hard and murmured to himself, his gaze once again fixed on the figure at the edge of the sky. Although they were far apart, it felt as if they were right next to each other.

"They deserved it. How dare they attack a god! This is a grave offense of disrespect, like an old man hanging himself—they had a death wish."

"Those who kill will be killed by others; those who plotted to destroy us will be executed by the gods. This is the will of Heaven."

"What kind of weapon could possess such terrifying power? Hundreds of people have died in just a few breaths—it's horrifying! Could it be a world-class treasure in his possession?"

"The gods seem to be angry. What should we do? Should we continue? I'm a little scared."

"No one should act rashly, for the gods have already noticed us."

"If we anger him now, we might end up like the rest of the Yin Corpse Sect, wiped out completely."

"You're right. We should express our sincerest sincerity in order to have any chance of survival."

"Oh no! The deity is coming!"

At that moment, everyone in the Qingxuan Sect felt their hearts leap into their throats. They exchanged glances, fear spreading through them, and they couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow devoutly.

The sky presented a breathtaking sight: a colossal head, much larger than the surrounding mountains and comparable to a planet, floated in the air.

A pair of intelligent eyes, radiating a brilliant light like a full moon, seemed to pierce through the vast universe, sending chills down one's spine.

The two looked at each other.

An invisible pressure spread as if it could solidify the air. Xiao Xuan and the others were drenched in sweat, their pores bulging out several times, emitting heat, afraid that they might do something wrong and anger the god before them.

"What is he looking at? Could it be... that he wants someone to offer themselves up?"

Xiao Xuan's lips twitched, an ancient legend surfacing in his mind: when gods appeared, golden boys and jade maidens needed to be sacrificed to avert disaster. "But where am I supposed to find golden boys and jade maidens now?"

Suddenly, his gaze shifted and settled on several stunningly beautiful female disciples behind him. They were voluptuous with faces like peach blossoms, absolutely breathtaking beauties.

Several people understood and stepped forward from the back, kneeling in the front row.

But those huge eyes didn't leave; instead, their brows furrowed into a deep frown.

Everyone's hearts sank immediately, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies chilled to the bone. Being stared at by such a god-like figure was no less than an ant encountering an elephant; death was the only outcome.

Even though Xiao Xuan was already a powerful expert in the Martial Pool Realm, he was trembling at this moment, as if he had lost all his strength and was panting heavily.

But what they never expected was that Gu Yuan was simply curious about the miniature human in front of him.

After all, anyone who sees such a scene for the first time would be mesmerized, as if in a dream.

But in the eyes of Xiao Xuan and his group, it was a completely different scene. After all, the two sides couldn't communicate, and there was an overwhelming sense of oppressive power. Coupled with the precedent of the Yin Corpse Sect, it was impossible not to be afraid.

"Why won't the gods accept the offerings? This is a stunningly beautiful woman..."

Xiao Xuan's forehead veins bulged as he glanced at Gu Yuan with fear, his face filled with confusion and doubt.

"Sect Master... is it possible that what the God truly desires is that Chaos Star Tree?"

At this moment, the guardian beside him suddenly spoke up to remind him that the reason why the gods are high above is because they have no attachment to the mortal world.

The only thing that could catch its eye was something of the world's greatest treasure, which might be the only thing that could gain the favor of the gods and thus escape with its life.

"Oh right, how could I forget that?"

Xiao Xuan suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten about this matter due to his excessive fright. He immediately took out the small, azure tree from his bosom again, held it above his head with utmost reverence, and prepared to offer it as a sacrifice.

"Sect Master, you mustn't! This is a treasure of the sect, of utmost importance. If we hand it over like this, not only will the Qingxuan Sect be doomed, but the entire Great Ming Dynasty will be finished!"

Some people raised objections, arguing that the Qingxuan Sect was the main sect protecting the Ming Dynasty, and the Chaos Star Tree was intertwined with the nation's destiny; losing it would undoubtedly be tantamount to destroying the sect and the country.

"The Ming Dynasty... is there still a Ming Dynasty? By now, the capital city has probably been flattened by the Liao cavalry."

Xiao Xuan slowly closed his eyes, tears of blood dripping from the corners of his eyes, filled with extreme resentment.

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank, a desolate and chilling feeling enveloped them. Some roared in agony, their hatred for the Yin Corpse Sect reaching its peak.

"Do not make a fuss, for if we offend the gods, we will not be able to save our own lives, let alone seek revenge."

The hatred between the enemy and the clan was infuriating. For a moment, he forgot about Gu Yuan's existence. When he came to his senses, his body trembled and he knelt down again.

"Handing over the Chaos Star Tree might save our lives, but if we conceal it and the gods discover it and kill us, they can still take it. Why throw our lives away in vain?"

Xiao Xuan was very clear-headed, knowing that nothing could be hidden from the gods.

The former's wise eyes had seen through everything; rather than letting others take it, it was better to obediently hand it over and perhaps gain favor.

Moreover, this world's most precious treasure was originally left behind by the gods, and now it has been returned to its rightful owner.

"this!"

The people around them looked at each other, no one objected, and no one had anything to say; this made sense.

Xiao Xuan slowly stood up, supporting himself with one hand on the ground. He patted the dirt off his body to try not to look too flustered, and then bowed with each step towards Gu Yuan, holding the Chaos Star Tree in both hands.

"Great God, this is the world's most precious treasure that the Qingxuan Sect of my Great Ming Kingdom offers to you—the Chaos Star Tree. I hope you will accept it."

The rest of the people knelt respectfully on the ground, watching this scene with their hearts in their throats.

........

"How interesting. Is this a land of little people? Civilization seems to be stuck in the age of cold weapons. Could it be in a feudal dynasty?"

Gu Yuan looked at them with great interest and sighed deeply, a faint smile on her lips.

Just then, a dazzling stream of light slowly rose up, like a wisp of green smoke entering Gu Yuan's body and appearing in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Immediately, a faint Daoist voice echoed: "Xiao Xuan of the Qingxuan Sect has offered up the Chaos Star Tree, a supreme treasure of the world. Please accept it!"
