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

Seeing that Gu Yuan insisted, Nangong Xian'er and the others exchanged glances and said nothing more.

In fact, they also wanted to use the former's strength to investigate, but they didn't want to make it too obvious.

"please!"

The old man from Bodhi Gene was very polite and took the initiative to invite Gu Yuan to walk in front, with Nangong Xian'er and the others following closely behind.

The two talked for a long time along the way, and Gu Yuan learned a lot of secret information, which was very important to him.

Amazing changes have taken place in famous mountains and rivers everywhere. Some mountain peaks are radiating golden light, with thousands of divine rays hanging down in an extraordinary way. Strange trees have grown on some sheer cliffs and natural barriers, while some temples are radiating Buddhist light, with grand chanting of sutras resounding in broad daylight.

These changes have caused great unrest among various forces. Many conglomerates have become greedy and sent batches of extraordinary individuals to seek opportunities, but all have returned empty-handed.

Not only do they have to contend with human forces, but they also have to be wary of ferocious birds and beasts. With the changes in the world, some of their intelligence has become comparable to that of humans, and coupled with their terrifying strength, they have a great advantage in the struggle.

During this process, Gu Yuan also heard some shocking news.

The Leifeng Pagoda on the shore of West Lake was uprooted by a certain conglomerate at great expense, and every brick and tile was replaced in a private area, where no one except internal personnel is allowed to approach it.

Why?

Gu Yuan was a little stunned. This was a bit too exaggerated. If there were any treasures or exotic fruits inside, they could just take them. It was really strange that they even moved the tower.

The old man from Bodhi Genes stiffened, looking somewhat troubled, as if this was a secret that couldn't be told. Finally, after gesturing for everyone to step back, he leaned close to the former's ear and whispered...

"Rumor has it that a tycoon discovered a female corpse inside Leifeng Pagoda... The body was not decomposed... It resembles the White Snake Fairy from a thousand years ago."

Gu Yuan's lips twitched slightly. He had been familiar with the story of the White Snake Fairy since he was a child... It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was a figure from mythology. How could one not be shocked to actually discover her corpse?

Then I couldn't help but think of Liuli City, where many ancient corpses had fallen from that giant tree that resembled a heart.

The fat man even inherited the legacy.

"Could it be... that these ancient corpses are still alive? They've been dead for countless years, otherwise how could they still enter other people's dreams?"

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, and his expression became more serious.

If that's true... then in the future we might face not only beasts and "aliens," but even ancient figures!

"At first, I didn't believe it either, but... too much evidence seems to confirm that our culture seems to have experienced a break, that a part of history has been lost in the river of time, that the immortals really existed, but later mysteriously disappeared."

The old man muttered to himself, completely oblivious to the change in the former's expression.

The two continued on their way, leaving Nangong Xian'er and the others far behind.

"evidence?"

Gu Yuan was somewhat curious. He believed the old man's words to some extent. After all, if extraordinary people could appear on Earth now, who could guarantee that similar things hadn't happened in the more distant past?

It now seems that the myths and legends passed down orally from ancient times to the present... are not entirely unfounded, and the immortals may have really existed.

Do you know about the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor?

"Who doesn't know the mausoleum of the greatest emperor in Chinese history?"

A strange look appeared on Gu Yuan's lips; the former seemed to be implying something.

Sure enough, the old man continued, his expression quite interesting, and said mysteriously, "Actually, it had already been secretly excavated long ago!"

"Not to mention the moat formed by mercury inside... making it difficult to excavate?"

"That's nonsense. Where would you find so much mercury in ancient times? The reason it hasn't been made public is because the archaeological team discovered something incredible inside. If we announced it to the world, it would shock many people to death."

The old man's lips curled slightly, revealing a mysterious and unfathomable expression.

"What did you discover?"

Gu Yuan pressed on, genuinely curious. With the world undergoing such a transformation, it wouldn't be surprising if the remains of pre-Qin Qi cultivators were found there.

The fact that they are still keeping the news under wraps shows that the discoveries inside are something the world cannot bear.

"I'm not entirely sure either... I just overheard some high-ranking officials mentioning it... If certain things are proven true, our entire nation of China might be overthrown."

The old man shook his head and let out a soft sigh. There were many things that were beyond his level of understanding.

Gu Yuan felt a pang of disappointment, as if she were listening to a story at its climax when it was abruptly cut off, leaving her with a sense of emptiness.

However, he quickly calmed down. The immortals... these beings were too far removed from him, probably looking down on the mortal world from the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Or perhaps the immortals were merely powerful figures at the Martial Pool Realm, long since vanished into the river of time.

After all, he can now fly through the air and burrow underground, split mountains and shatter rocks... and these are the powers that only immortals in legend possess.

The two continued walking forward and were almost at the top of the mountain.

The scenery here has changed dramatically. Instead of low shrubs, there are tall ancient trees, as thick as if they were transplanted from a primeval forest. The wild grass by the roadside has blossomed and borne fruit, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

A waterfall cascaded down with a thunderous roar, its source unknown. Mount Tai was more than a hundred times larger than before, as if it had invaded a primordial wilderness, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The misty fog lingers in the mountains, adding a touch of mystery to the place.

Suddenly, Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed as he noticed many bottomless pits ahead.

"These are all the work of large organizations and conglomerates. Ever since Leifeng Pagoda was taken away, a digging frenzy has swept through the land, with all sorts of supernatural beings wanting to dig up famous mountains and rivers from top to bottom."

The old man sighed, then continued walking.

"Have they dug anything up?"

Gu Yuan asked a question.

"That remains to be seen. If something were to be discovered, probably no one would be willing to say so. After all, things from underground might be left behind by immortals, and would certainly be extremely precious."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but recall the tattered shield that the White Serpent had spat out during their battle, which most likely came from underground.

As the news flooded into her mind, Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

The extraordinary beings are all getting stronger, and not step by step, but perhaps leaping forward. Who knows what heaven-defying things the immortals left behind? If they really do find something, it's not impossible for them to attain enlightenment in one day.

The two stood still, and in the distance, they could hear voices. In the hazy mist, people were fighting, and the clanging sounds were incessant.

Soon, Nangong Xian'er and the others arrived. Even though they were extraordinary people, climbing Mount Tai in such a short time was still quite strenuous.

The group walked together and entered the mist.

The scene before them gradually turned bloody, with many strange beings shedding their blood here, staining the sky and becoming nourishment for the earth.

After traveling more than two thousand meters, the visibility gradually improved, the fog became less dense, and dozens of strange people appeared before them.

They split into more than a dozen small groups, some fighting, some confronting each other, and some wounded fleeing into the mist...

The arrival of Gu Yuan and his group naturally attracted everyone's attention, and many people cast hostile glances at them. However, upon seeing the iconic "bull's head," they slowly backed away, unwilling to linger.

"It's Niu Da! The Bull Demon King is here!"

"And what about the Bodhi Gene group from before? How did they end up together?"

Many people looked surprised, and although they were filled with murderous intent, none of them dared to make a rash move.

Gu Yuan alone is enough to make people wary, not to mention he has several strong helpers, so naturally no one dares to provoke him.

Gu Yuan looked around and found nothing unusual, nor any special aura emanating from the exotic fruit. He frowned slightly and asked the old man from Bodhi Gene, "What are these people fighting over?"

"A fortuitous encounter, perhaps related to the immortals."

The old man leaned closer to explain, then pointed into the distance.

It was a huge five-colored altar, as big as two football fields, like a giant pot lid covering the top of Mount Tai.

The stone is made of a very unique material, ancient and grand, with mysterious runes flowing on it, sometimes shining brightly, sometimes restrained and mysterious, engraved with the breath of time, as if it has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes.

"It seems incomplete, missing most of its components."

Gu Yuan gazed into the distance, seeing farther and more clearly than Bodhi Gene and the others, and immediately noticed something was wrong.

The enormous altar was only ten stones deep, and many of the stones were cracked. One can only wonder how huge it must have been in its entirety, and what it was built to commemorate.

"Legend has it that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as well as sages of past dynasties, all came here to offer sacrifices. Originally, I thought it was just about burning incense to the heavens, but now it seems that the situation is much more complicated. Such a large altar could not have been built by human hands."

The old man was also seeing such a magnificent building for the first time, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Gu Yuan didn't continue thinking about it. The existence of the immortals was beyond doubt. The only mystery was where they went and what kind of great changes occurred in ancient times that could make the immortals disappear.

But these are not things that people can think about right now; they can only deal with what's in front of them.

"Senior, the opportunity you mentioned wouldn't happen at the Five-Colored Altar, would it?"

Gu Yuan asked a question.

"No, I heard from the strong members of the organization that the Five-Colored Altar seems to have merged with the extra primordial land, creating a barrier that no one can pass through. But the opportunity isn't inside, but at the Fujun Temple atop Mount Tai!"

"Temple of the God of Mount Tai?"

"Yes, it's a recent anomaly; it didn't exist before."

The old man explained.
