Next to the pavilion.
A woman wearing a white dress silently appeared, silently looking at Gu Qing Shan.
"It's you"
The woman spoke.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then hurriedly clasped her fist: "Saint, how do you know me?"
"Let me take a look at the current situation first" the woman's gaze turned towards the endless void of space outside the Lotus Pavilion.
She slowly walked around the pavilion, quickly finished a full circle and returned to where she was.
"Little Hu Er?" the woman called out.
The fox girl appeared and excitedly asked: "Saint?"
"That's me, come" the woman smiled faintly.
Without saying anything else, the fox girl turned into a string of copper coins and flew into the woman's hand.
"This is the greatest Divine Artifact of the Age of Chaos, do you still remember?" she asked Gu Qing Shan.
"I'm someone from the Age of Chaos?" Gu Qing Shan asked in return.
"Seems like you've forgotten even after reincarnating — — hah, the promise still hasn't been fulfilled" the woman stroked the copper coins in her hand and appeared to be reminiscing.
While she was lost in thought, Gu Qing Shan didn't want to rush her and silently waited.
Time slowly passed.
After a while, the woman continued: "When the Samsara first formed, the Saints all retreated to the No Turning Land to avoid affecting the Samsara's growth, waiting for the decisive battle against the evil demons"
"Until a certain day in the future, when all six Saints appear at the same time, it proves that the Samsara has evolved to a relatively complete stage, capable of accommodating the descent of the Saints"
Gu Qing Shan nodded, expressing that she already knew about this.
The woman continued: "In the past, I was known as the Saint of Wind and Rain, the first Saint among the Saints to see through the Heaven's Will. After you died, I calculated that I would meet you again sooner or later"
"After I died?" Gu Qing Shan didn't understand.
"Indeed, after you reincarnated, you would definitely forget everything from the past, not to mention your own identity … I had already set up this Lotus Pavilion and placed [Bu Zhou] at the bottom of the pond, waiting for you to reach this place again, [Bu Zhou] would release its final bit of power and activate the sealed memories of your past life deep within your soul" the woman explained.
"I only saw one scene" Gu Qing Shan said.
The woman smiled and said, "When the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared, I knew that the Primordial Era was over … but I did not give up. Using my identity as the best in divination, I tampered with the Saint Pursuing Arena."
She raised her hand and made a hand seal.
An aura of destruction emanated from her body.
"Senior, you — –" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
"There's no need to be shocked. I've definitely died and reincarnated a long time ago. This strand of past thought cannot be exposed in the slightest. It's already time to extinguish it."
"The weapons around you from the Desolate Era are quite pitiful. Their masters have already become demons and are preparing to welcome the new era of demons. However, they are still on the Nine Cycles of Samsara, faithfully carrying out their duties."
The woman looked at him and sighed. "Everything about you … seems to be destined, but I know that neither the Untainted Law nor the will of the evil demons can completely decide your final fate."
"There are many things that cannot be said, you will need to look into your memories"
Saying so, she reached her hand out and tapped between Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows, then gave him the string of coins in her hand.
"See you again."
The woman turned into a streak of moonlight that scattered into specks of light before disappearing.
Gu Qing Shan stood blankly in place.
When the woman tapped between his eyebrows, his heart skipped a beat as if he remembered something.
A scene appeared in his mind.
Blue sky.
Mountains as vast as the sea.
Countless heavenly beings roamed freely in the sky.
At the peak of the highest mountain, there was a palace with white walls and glazed tiles.
Numerous heavenly beings surrounded the palace.
A middle-aged woman in royal attire sat at the head of the table, holding a baby girl in her arms as she looked at him with a friendly expression.
It was Saint Fengyu.
Gu Qing Shan met her gaze, then glanced at the place she was looking at.
As he turned around, he saw a 5-6 year old boy standing behind him. The middle-aged woman's gaze passed right through him, carefully observing the boy.
All the heavenly beings in the palace stared at the boy.
Saint Fengyu spoke: "Among the Saints, I am the most proficient in Divination, if you want to learn Divination from me, you must promise me one thing"
The boy clasped his fist and asked: "May I ask what it is, Saint?"
Saint Fengyu smiled: "At some point in the future, you and my daughter will be fated to be married, after you become Dao companions, you must treat her well"
The heavenly beings went silent.
The boy didn't expect such a thing to happen, his expression was a bit helpless, but he still spoke:
"If we are fated to be married, I will naturally treat her well"
The hall immediately became noisy and lively.
The heavenly beings laughed, Saint Fengyu also smiled and nodded.
She continued: "My daughter's talents aren't any less than mine, she's quite proficient in Divination, she will be able to help you many times in the future, and you will also save her from danger"
"The two of you are fated to be married, there is no doubt about that"
The boy was still young, his face flushed red as he clasped his fist: "Master, please accept my bow"
Saint Fengyu replied: "Hm, today you will first read the sect's rules and get to know your senior brothers and sisters, tomorrow I will teach you Divination"
"Yes" the boy answered.
All of a sudden, all voices disappeared, the scene also faded away.
Only Saint Fengyu remained silent for a while, then looked at Gu Qing Shan.
"That boy just now was your past self"
"You might not remember … but I can tell you this, I have never submitted to the evil fiend, after my next reincarnation, I will establish a city-state in the void of space — — -"
"My daughter will also reincarnate, continuing our relationship as mother and daughter"
Saint Fengyu's figure slowly became blurry. She calmly continued:
"The Saints all believe that you will die without a doubt, even the fate that I can see is the same, but what others don't know is — —"
"After your death, your fate was shrouded in mist, no one knows what happened"
"… Even if it's for my daughter, I want to take a gamble"
"I want to bet that you won't completely lose to the evil fiends"
At this point, Saint Fengyu had already disappeared, leaving only her final words in the void of space.
"— — Follow the path that I've given you, you will remember everything"
Her voice stopped abruptly.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly regained her senses, only to see a gentle breeze in the pavilion, as if nothing had happened.
But a map appeared in his mind.
This map was like a distant and blurry memory, as if it had been through countless years, only now did he remember it, becoming clearer and clearer.
There was no sound.
The Divine Armaments also remained silent.
Only the talisman muttered: "Just now, Saint Fengyu said … that my master had turned to the evil fiends?"
As Divine Armaments of the Age of Chaos, they naturally had their own spirits, and were extremely intelligent.
For many things, as long as one seriously thought about it, they would naturally find the answer.
A Yellow Paper Umbrella flew out, sighing: "Old Talisman, our connection with our master has already been cut off, I originally thought it was for safety reasons, to make it easier for us to guard the Path of Reincarnation, but now it seems — — hah"
The talisman muttered: "Demonized … why did she become demonized, my master was the 2nd Saint of Taoism, her power was boundless, why did she become demonized?"
The Divine Armaments didn't say anything.
The talisman spoke with a sobbing tone: "I am the Saint Talisman of Chaos, capable of manifesting a giant city of war, countless Divinities, maze formations, and countless spells — — - this is the best tool to kill demons, why did you send me to guard the 9 Cycles of Reincarnation?"
No one replied to it.
Gu Qing Shan sensed the emotions of the Divine Armaments, thought for a bit, then said: "What you hear is false, seeing is believing, let us all go to the Saint Seeking Platform"
"Let's go!" the Divine Armaments spoke in unison.
The talisman spoke first: "I remember a hidden path, left behind by Taoism to make it easier for later generations"
The Immortal's Gate suddenly spoke: "Forget about Taoism — — too many Divine Armaments of Taoism have lost their masters, some of them must have turned to the evil fiends, we cannot walk the path of Taoism"
"I agree" the fox girl replied.
The talisman angrily spoke: "This matter has yet to be confirmed, how can you slander me like this?"
"Amitabha, how about we walk the hidden path of our Buddhist sect"
"I think we should follow the whisk's instructions"
"That's right, the whisk's master should not have turned to the evil fiends"
The Divine Armaments all agreed.
The whisk asked: "Gu Qing Shan, follow the path I remember, what do you think?"
"No, I will lead the way this time" Gu Qing Shan replied.
