In an instant, the surroundings fell silent as countless gazes shot towards him.
"It's getting more and more exciting." Meng Fanchen smiled in his heart. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he crossed the river and stepped onto the opposite shore.
Instantly, he felt a layer of pressure.
This pressure came from the spirit spring in the depths of the sea of flowers. The spirit spring produced vital qi, and because the vital qi was too dense and abundant, it caused the pressure. But soon, a light spot rose from the flowers beside Meng Fanchen's feet.
The specks of light floated and enveloped Meng Fanchen's entire body before entering his body.
" This is the Hope Gu, right?" Meng Fanchen muttered to himself. Although the elder did not explain, he knew very well.
Each light spot was a Gu.
The Gu was called hope.
There was an ancient legend about the Hope Gu.
Legend had it that when this world had just been formed, it was a wasteland with wild beasts running amok. The first human appeared, and his name was Pangu. He was a savage and lived a very difficult life.
There was also a group of wild beasts called Predicaments. They especially liked Pangu's taste and wanted to eat him. Pangu did not have a body as tough as a mountain rock, nor did he have the sharp teeth and claws of wild beasts. How could he fight with these wild beasts called Predicaments? His food source was very unstable, and he had no fixed residence. He was at the bottom of the natural food chain and could barely survive.
At this time, three Gu came to Pangu and said,""As long as you use your life to support us, we will give you strength and help you overcome your difficulties.”
Pangu had no choice but to agree to these three Gu. He first used his youth to feed the largest of the three Gu, which gave him strength.
With his strength, Pangu's life began to improve. He began to have a stable source of food and the strength to protect himself. He was brave and ruthless, defeating many predicaments. But he soon suffered. In the end, he realized that strength was not omnipotent. It also needed to be recovered and cultivated. It also needed to be continuously trained. It could not be squandered casually.
Furthermore, to the entire group of Predicament Beasts, his strength alone was too small.
After thinking about it, Pangu decided to use his most vigorous middle-aged man to feed the most beautiful of the three Gu.
Thus, the second Gu gave him wisdom.
Pangu gained wisdom, learned to think and reflect, and summed up his experience. He realized that many times, using wisdom was more effective than using strength. Relying on his wisdom and strength, he had conquered many targets that he could not conquer before and killed more predicaments. They would eat the meat and drink the blood of the Predicament to survive.
However, good times did not last long. Pangu was old, getting older and older.
This was because he had given the youth and middle-aged man to strength Gu and wisdom Gu.
When people got old, their muscles would shrink and their brains would not work fast. "Human, what else can you bring us? You have nothing else to offer us.”After strength Gu and wisdom Gu discovered this, they left heartlessly.
Pangu had lost his strength and wisdom, and he was discovered by the Predicament and surrounded by the beasts. He was old and couldn't run anymore. His teeth had all fallen out, and he couldn't even chew wild fruits and vegetables.
He collapsed to the ground powerlessly. He was surrounded by numerous predicaments, and his heart was filled with despair.
At this moment, the third Gu said to him,""Human, worship me. I can help you get out of your predicament.”
"Gu, what else can I have?" Pan Gu cried. Look, strength Gu and wisdom Gu have abandoned me. And I'm only left with old age. Compared to youth and middle age, old age is nothing, but if I offer my old age to you, my life will end immediately. Although I'm surrounded by the Predicament, I won't die for a while. I still want to live a little longer, even if it's just for a second. So you can leave. I can't worship you anymore.”
The Gu said,"Among the three Gu, my request is the smallest." Human, you just have to give me your heart.”"Then I'll give my heart to you.”Pangu Dao
But Gu, what can you bring me? In this desperate situation, even if strength Gu and wisdom Gu return to my side, it will not change anything.”
Compared to strength Gu, this Gu's body was the smallest and weakest, it was just a small light spot. Compared to wisdom Gu, this Gu was the dimmest, it could only emit a weak white light, it was not gorgeous at all.
But when a person gave their heart to this Gu, this Gu suddenly emitted an infinite light. In this light, the Predicaments cried out in horror: "This is hope Gu, run, we Predicaments are most afraid of hope.”The Predicament Beasts immediately retreated in panic.
Pangu was dumbfounded. From that moment on, he knew that in the face of difficulties, he had to give his heart to hope.
And at this moment, the Hope Gu had already merged into a beam of light and entered Meng Fan Chen's body.
Due to the pressure from the outside world, they quickly gathered in Meng Fanchen's abdomen, three inches below his navel, and spontaneously gathered into a ball.
Meng Fan Chen immediately felt the pressure lessening, he continued to move forward, with every step he took, hope Gu would fly out of the sea of flowers, entering his body and joining the light ball.
The ball of light grew bigger and brighter. However, the elder on the other side of the river frowned. "The number of hope Gu seems to be a little low.”Many elders who had been secretly watching Meng Fanchen saw this and their hearts sank. The sect leader frowned. This was definitely not the performance of a top-grade talent!
Meng Fanchen endured the pressure and continued walking forward.
"Those below the tenth step have no talent for cultivation. Between 10 to 20 steps, it was low-grade aptitude. Between 20 to 30 steps, it was middle-grade aptitude, and between 30 to 40 steps, it was high-grade aptitude. 40 to 50 steps was a top-grade talent. So far, I have already taken twenty-three steps.”"Twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six…twenty-seven.”Meng Fanchen counted silently in his heart. When he reached the twenty-seventh step, he seemed to hear a loud boom. The ball of light between his two kidneys had accumulated to its limit and suddenly exploded.
This explosion only happened within Meng Fanchen's body. No one else could sense it at all. Only Meng Fanchen could feel a world-shaking profoundness.
In an instant, all the hair on his body stood on end, and his pores were tightly shut. His mind was like a bowstring that had been pulled open, suddenly tightening.
Immediately, his mind suddenly went blank, and his entire body went limp, as if he had fallen into the clouds. His heartstrings relaxed, his hair smoothed, and all the pores on his body opened.
In an instant, his entire body was covered in a layer of sweat. This process sounded a little long, but it was actually very short. It came quickly and left extremely suddenly.
Meng Fanchen's absent-mindedness only lasted for a moment before he regained his senses. He secretly focused his attention and probed his body. He discovered that below his belly button, an aperture had appeared out of thin air in the middle of his two kidneys.
The enlightenment was successful! This was the hope of eternal life!
