Her knowledge was limited, and she had only just stepped halfway into the Mystic Sect, so there were many things she didn’t know.
Luckily, they encountered Elder Sima today.
After Gu Qiaoqiao finished speaking, Xiao Wen added a few points, and then the two of them waited for Elder Sima to clear their doubts.
Elder Sima looked serious, with a slight frown. He could not have imagined that so many things had happened to these two girls. Eventually, he had to admit that the heavens indeed favor certain people.
Only through such trials and insights could they stand higher and go further in the future.
But listening to the stories of these two children today, Elder Sima had to acknowledge that he, who considered himself well-experienced and extraordinary, might not be as knowledgeable as he thought.
Indeed, there are always people beyond people and skies beyond skies, and the unknown always exists.
Because this was the first ti he had heard such things, and although he hadn’t seen the items Gu Qiaoqiao described, he knew that these three things harbored imnse Spiritual Power.
Then what could it be?
What could be related to the Gu Family Ancestor?
At this thought, a flash of intuition struck Elder Sima, and with an expression of disbelief, he looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, who stared back without blinking and urgently asked, "Great Elder, did you think of sothing?"
Elder Sima did not answer imdiately, remaining thoughtful as he gently tapped his fingers on the table, making a crisp tapping sound.
Xiao Wen was also anxious.
"Just tell us what you think, and maybe the three of us together can figure it out."
Elder Sima remained silent, but his frown deepened, turning into a profound character "川."
Then he stood up, walked back and forth in the cave several tis with his hands behind his back.
After a while, he finally stopped, looked at the two girls who had also stood up, and said in a deep voice, "According to my guess, the group of Spiritual Energy in the White Jade Stone, which carries vitality, has an eighty percent chance of being a soul!"
"A soul!"
Xiao Wen and Gu Qiaoqiao exclaid simultaneously, then glanced at each other, seeing incredulity in each other’s eyes.
How could it be?
How could it be such a conclusion?
"Great Elder, how could it be a soul? Are you sure?"
"I can’t be one hundred percent sure, but it’s highly likely to be a soul."
"Whose soul?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked urgently, although her heart felt a vague answer.
"Perhaps the soul of the Gu Family Ancestor."
"Ah?"
Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes widened in shock again.
Staring unblinkingly at Elder Sima, she murmured, "How could it be the soul of the Gu Family Ancestor? Are you saying the Gu Family Ancestor..."
At this point, an inexplicable sadness surged in Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart.
For so reason, this answer felt as if the dust had settled and aligned with so of Gu Qiaoqiao’s thoughts.
Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but recall the scene she saw at the Reincarnation Gate.
In her last life, after her death, the person who appeared must have been the Gu Family Ancestor. He summoned the Mysterious Dragon Box, and in front of him appeared a black hole, causing the surrounding air to change.
Could it be interpreted that the Gu Family Ancestor, unwilling to see the Gu Family perish, used his powers to reverse ti and let everything start over?
Rebirth is inherently a mind-boggling concept.
But it’s different from reincarnation.
Reincarnation is being born anew with no mory, whether as a human or any other living thing, but rebirth is resetting a life already lived.
This inherently does not conform to the natural developnt of all things.
From a mystical perspective, it also does not align with the way of the six paths of reincarnation.
So the problem arises: if the Gu Family Ancestor defied the heavens, surely it exhausted all his abilities, what then would be his fate?
Gu Qiaoqiao did not see the ending at the Reincarnation Gate, and everything vanished; she even tried to see the conclusion afterward but couldn’t see anything.
Does it an that the Gu Family Ancestor paid the price of his life for this?
But then, the problem arises again, if the Gu Family Ancestor sacrificed his life, then everything should have ended in the last life.
In this life, the Gu Family is well, vengeance is achieved, and unless the sky falls, the Gu Family will continue indefinitely, prosperously.
Then, in this life, the Gu Family Ancestor should be fine.
But obviously, this is not the case.
At this mont, Gu Qiaoqiao’s face was sowhat pale, a result she hadn’t anticipated, never considering that the Red Lotus Flower could be holding the soul of the Gu Family Ancestor.
Subsequently, Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Elder Sima standing there, with a glimr of hope, asked, "Great Elder, you cannot be one hundred percent sure, right?"
"Yes, I cannot be one hundred percent sure."
"So, does it an it’s very likely not?"
After a while, Elder Sima slowly nodded, "Perhaps."
"Qiaoqiao, have you never thought from another perspective, that if this is really the soul of the Gu Family Ancestor, it might not be a bad thing?"
Xiao Wen softly spoke.
"Why isn’t it a bad thing?" Gu Qiaoqiao responded blankly.
Xiao Wen clasped her hands together, as though dealing with a storm of thoughts in her own heart, and after a few breaths, she added, "Qiaoqiao, if it really is the soul of the Gu Family Ancestor, what could be safer than keeping it with you?"
"Yes, Xiao Wen is right." Elder Sima finally spoke again, "Qiaoqiao, this may not be a bad thing, it’s better than falling into soone else’s hands."
Caring creates chaos, and when Gu Qiaoqiao, originally capable of analytically dissecting everything, learned of this result, her mind was sowhat chaotic.
She suddenly thought of a question, "Great Elder. Then what about the body of the Gu Family Ancestor?"
Elder Sima and Xiao Wen were both stunned, as was Gu Qiaoqiao after asking the question.
The cave suddenly fell into a silent tranquility.
This was the most crucial question.
The soul had left the body, so where was the body of the Gu Family Ancestor?
This was sothing terrifying to ponder deeply.
Suddenly, Elder Sima waved his hand decisively and said, "Alright, let’s not dwell on this matter for now. After all, we are still in the preliminary stages of deduction, and the Gu Family Ancestor, a rare pinnacle figure in the Mystic Sect over thousands of years, surely has his reasons for his actions."
Saying this, Elder Sima paused, secretly contemplating. The village chief, the White Jade Stone of Qin Yize. The ruby lotus in this cave.
These three things seed unrelated, yet were bizarrely linked by Gu Qiaoqiao as if threading a needle.
He did not know about the two prior incidents, but he had lived in the cave for many years and had never discovered any hidden chanisms here.
Moreover, this was originally a secret stronghold of the Phoenix Clan.
