In an instant, the surroundings became quiet as countless gazes landed on him.
"This is getting more and more exciting." Fang Yuan laughed in his heart. Under everyone's gaze, he crossed the river and stepped onto the other side.
Immediately, he felt a layer of pressure.
This pressure came from the spirit spring in the depths of the flower sea. The spirit spring produced primeval energy, and because the primeval energy was too dense, it caused the pressure.
But soon, from the flowers around Fang Yuan's feet, a light dot rose.
The light dot floated and covered Fang Yuan's entire body, before entering his body.
"This is the Hope Gu." Fang Yuan muttered in his heart. Although the person in charge did not explain, he knew it clearly.
Every speck of light was a Gu.
The Gu was called Hope.
One of the most ancient legends was about the Hope Gu.
Legend has it that when this world was just formed, it was a desolate land where wild beasts roamed. The first human appeared, his name was Ren Zu. He ate raw meat and drank blood, living a difficult life.
Especially there was a group of wild beasts called Predicaments, they loved the taste of Ren Zu and wanted to eat him.
Ren Zu did not have a rock-like body, nor did he have the sharp claws of wild beasts, how could he fight against these Predicaments? His food source was unstable, he had to hide all day, staying at the bottom of the food chain, he could barely survive.
At this time, three Gu came to Ren Zu and said: "As long as you use your life to support us, we will help you get through this."
Ren Zu had no choice, he could only agree to these three Gu.
He first used his youth to nurture the biggest Gu among the three, and that Gu gave him strength.
With strength, Ren Zu's life started to improve, he started to have a stable food source, he had the strength to protect himself. He was brave and ruthless, defeating many Predicaments. But soon, he suffered. In the end, he found that strength was not omnipotent, it needed to be recovered and nurtured, it could not be squandered.
And to the entire Predicament group, his strength alone was too small.
Ren Zu pondered over this painful experience and decided to use his prime years to nurture the most beautiful Gu among the three.
Thus, the second Gu gave him wisdom.
Ren Zu had wisdom, he learned to think and reflect, and started to accumulate experience. He found that using wisdom was often more effective than using strength. Relying on his wisdom and strength, he conquered many targets that he couldn't conquer before and killed even more Predicaments. They ate the flesh and drank the blood of the Predicaments to survive tenaciously.
However, good things didn't last long. The Ren Ancestor grew older and older.
This was because he had given the youngster and middle-aged man to strength Gu and wisdom Gu.
When people get old, their muscles atrophy and their brains slow down.
"Oh human, what else can you give us? You have nothing left to offer us." After the Strength Gu and Wisdom Gu realized this, they left heartlessly.
Ren Zu lost his power and intelligence, and was discovered by the Predicament, he was surrounded by the beast horde. He was old and couldn't run anymore. His teeth had all fallen off, and he couldn't even chew wild fruits and vegetables.
He powerlessly collapsed to the ground, surrounded by the densely packed predicaments, his heart was filled with despair.
Right at this time, the third Gu said to him: "Oh human, worship me, I can help you escape your predicament."
Ren Zu shed tears: "Gu, what else can I have? Look, strength Gu and wisdom Gu have abandoned me. And I only have old age left. Compared to youngster and middle-aged, old age isn't worth mentioning, but if I worship you with my old age, my life will end immediately. Although I am surrounded by the Predicaments now, I won't die anytime soon. I want to live a little longer, even if it's just a second. So leave, I can't worship you anymore. "
That Gu said: "Among the three Gu, my request is the smallest. Oh human, you only need to give me your heart. "
"Then I will give you my heart." Ren Zu said: "But oh Gu, what else can you give me? In this Predicament, even if strength Gu and wisdom Gu return to me, they can't change it. "
Compared to strength Gu, this Gu was the weakest, it was only a small dot of light. Compared to wisdom Gu, this Gu was the dimmest, it could only emit a weak white light and was not beautiful at all.
But when the human gave his heart to this Gu, this Gu suddenly shone with limitless light. In this light, the Predicaments screamed in fear: "This is the Hope Gu, retreat, we Predicaments are most afraid of hope."
The Predicament beasts immediately retreated in panic.
Ren Zu was dumbstruck, from that moment on, he knew — when facing a Predicament, give your heart to hope.
And at this time, the Hope Gu turned into a beam of light and entered Fang Yuan's body.
Because of the external pressure, they quickly gathered at Fang Yuan's abdomen, forming a ball three inches below his navel.
Fang Yuan immediately felt the pressure lessen.
He took a step forward and continued forward.
With every step he took, there would be Hope Gu flying out from the sea of flowers, entering his body and joining the ball of light.
The ball of light became bigger and brighter.
But the person in charge on the other side of the river frowned.
"The number of Hope Gu seems to be too little." Many elders who had been secretly observing Fang Yuan saw this scene and their hearts sank.
The clan leader also frowned, this was definitely not an A grade talent!
Fang Yuan withstood the pressure and continued forward.
"Below ten steps, they have no cultivation talent. Between ten to twenty steps, they have D grade talent. Between twenty to thirty steps, they have C grade talent. Between thirty to forty steps, they have B grade talent. Between forty to fifty steps, they have A grade talent. So far, I have walked twenty-three steps. "
"Twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six … twenty-seven." Fang Yuan silently counted in his heart. When he reached twenty-seven steps, he seemed to hear a boom, the ball of light between his two kidneys in his abdomen had accumulated to its limit and suddenly exploded.
This explosion only happened within Fang Yuan's body, outsiders could not feel it at all. Only Fang Yuan felt an earth-shattering mystery at that moment.
In an instant, all the hairs on his body stood up, his pores closed tightly, his mind was like a drawn bowstring, suddenly tensing up.
Immediately after, his mind suddenly went blank, his entire body limp, as if he had fallen into the clouds. His heartstrings relaxed, his sweat pores smoothed, and all the pores on his body opened up.
In an instant, his entire body was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
This process, although it sounded long, was actually very short. It came quickly, and left suddenly.
Fang Yuan was in a daze for only a moment, then he came back to his senses.
He secretly looked into his body, and found that below his belly button, in the middle of his two kidneys, an aperture had appeared out of nowhere.
Opening the aperture was a success!
This was the hope of longevity!!
