He was very worried that David would get into trouble during the trial.
David’s soul floated in the jade bottle, and through the walls of the bottle, he saw Gui Yuanzi’s worried expression, which touched him deeply.
He knew that Guiyuanzi truly cared about him and was truly worried about his safety.
He slowly spread out the cultivation technique of the Great Luo Golden Scripture, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, and spoke at the same time.
“Guiyuanzi, you don’t need to worry too much. I will definitely pass this test smoothly.”
David’s voice was gentle, but contained a hint of comfort and a touch of determination.
Gui Yuanzi raised his head, his gaze fell on David’s soul in the jade bottle, his tone filled with worry.
“Young Master, are you really going to participate in this trial? I’ve been to the Ancient Spirit Forest once. Although I didn’t go deep into the core area, I just wandered around the outer perimeter. But the restrictions on the outer perimeter are already very scary. A small mistake could cost you your life.”
“You now only have a sliver of soul left. Without the support of a physical body, your spiritual power cannot function properly. Even with the protection of the Great Luo Golden Scripture, it will be difficult to overcome the dangers of this trial.”
“What if what if something happens to you? How should I explain this to the Guiyuan Sect? How should I explain this to those Daoist sect disciples?”
“There is no such thing as ‘what if’,” David interrupted Gui Yuanzi, his tone calm and firm.
“Guiyuanzi, do you know why I can live until now?”
Gui Yuanzi shook his head, his eyes full of doubt.
“From the mortal realm to the celestial realm, and then to the seventeenth heaven, I have experienced countless life and death situations and countless hardships. Every time I was on the verge of death, but I survived.”
“Not because I was lucky, but because I never left myself any way out. I treated every battle and every difficulty as if it were my last, and I fought with all my strength.”
“It’s not that I don’t fear death, but I know that fear is futile, and retreating will only lead to my death faster. Only by continuing forward will I have a chance to survive.”
He paused for a moment, then continued, “This trial, although dangerous, is my only chance. Only by passing this trial and obtaining the Immortal Spirit Wood can I reshape my physical body and become stronger.”
“Only then can I have a chance to return to Sixteenth Heaven, save my friends imprisoned by the gods, and find Bai Qian. I can’t give up, and I won’t give up.”
“You don’t need to worry about me. I will definitely pass the test and return safely.”
David spoke with great confidence, but there was one thing he did not tell Gui Yuanzi: that there was a Lord Shi behind him.
His physical body was destroyed, and Master Shi did not appear, but his soul was in trouble. He was sure his soul would be scattered. He didn’t believe that Mr. Shi would not appear.
Even if Mr. Shi does not appear, David believes that Mr. Shi will have a way to bring him back to life.
This is the source of his confidence, which is why David is not afraid of anything.
Gui Yuanzi was silent for a long time, staring at the steadfast purple divine soul in the jade bottle, his worries still not dissipated.
However, he also knew that once David made a decision, he would not easily change it.
He took a deep breath, a glimmer of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but also a hint of admiration.
“Young Master, you are very similar to the Daoist Ancestor.”
“The Daoist patriarchs of the past were the same. Once they set a goal, they would do everything in their power to achieve it, never leaving any way out, and they would never give up no matter how dangerous the path ahead was.”
David didn’t speak, but listened quietly, because he didn’t know who the Daoist patriarch was.
The Great Luo Golden Scripture recognized it, but David didn’t know why. It used to be a wordless heavenly book, but now it has become the Great Luo Golden Scripture, and David knows nothing about it.
It was as if an invisible hand was giving him things and pushing him forward.
“The Great Luo Golden Scripture was the personal treasure of the Daoist patriarch. Long ago, the patriarch traveled through various realms and excavated ancient ruins. By chance, he obtained this scripture, comprehended a supreme Dao, and his cultivation rose dramatically. Only later did he establish the Daoist lineage, which has been passed down to this day.”
“Later, the patriarch ascended to heaven, and the Great Luo Golden Scripture disappeared without a trace. The sect patriarchs searched for it for tens of thousands of years, but could not find it.”
“Unexpectedly, he chose you, young master. This is Heaven’s will, and Heaven’s will cannot be defied.”
“Guiyuanzi, I will definitely live well and will not disappoint the Daoist patriarch’s expectations.” David’s voice sounded deep and firm.
Silence enveloped the side hall again.
Moonlight filtered in through the window and fell onto the warm emerald green bed.
The air is filled with the scent of sandalwood, creating a warm yet somber atmosphere.
Gui Yuanzi sat by the bed, his eyes fixed on the jade bottle, his expression serious. Secretly he vows to protect David.
Hopefully he passes the trial smoothly and returns safely.
Neither of them rested that night.
David is recovering and gathering his strength; Gui Yuanzi was secretly watching him, worried about tomorrow’s trial.
They all knew that tomorrow’s trial would be a difficult test.
Success or failure depends on this moment; there is no room for carelessness.
