Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 214

Everyone drew lots in turn. When it was Gu Shihan's turn, there was only one lot left. She took out the folded talisman paper, unfolded it, and saw a large number nine written on it.

This means that she will be the last of the nine to attempt to obtain the artifact.

Nangong Yi was in first place. He took a deep breath and then carefully approached the artifact. Despite his best efforts and nearly a quarter of an hour, he was still unable to get close to the artifact. The ten-step distance kept him at bay.

Looking at the jade-shaped artifact that emitted a soft glow, Nangong Yi gave a bitter smile, shook his head slightly, and sighed, "Alas... it seems this artifact is destined to be out of my reach!"

Next, everyone began to try to approach the artifact one by one, but without exception, when each person was still ten steps away from the artifact, they would feel an incredibly strong and suffocating resistance, making it impossible for them to take even a small step forward.

Shi Qinghan turned his gaze to Gu Shihan standing to the side, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes, and said, "Little sister, you're the only one left who hasn't tried yet. You know, your luck has always been excellent, I hope you succeed this time! We're definitely taking this artifact!"

Hearing this, Duan Siqi quickly chimed in, "Yes! Shi Han! You can definitely do it! There's no problem! After all, this is a rare artifact. It would be such a pity if we missed it!" With that, she gave Gu Shi Han an encouraging smile.

Faced with everyone's expectant gazes and words, Gu Shihan could only respond with a slight smile, because she herself was no longer certain.

Logically speaking, Shi Qinghan, being the chosen one, should have possessed such a treasure, but he…

Gu Shihan pulled herself out of her thoughts, took a deep breath, and walked step by step toward the artifact with a solemn yet determined expression.

Although she clearly felt the enormous resistance from ahead as she moved forward, she never stopped for a moment.

A quarter of an hour later, she stood in front of the divine artifact, reached out and grasped it, and instantly felt a powerful force flow into her body. Her cultivation level soared, directly reaching the late stage of the Mahayana realm.

"Success! Shi Han succeeded! Congratulations, Shi Han!" The excited cheers of the crowd surged like a tide, abruptly pulling Gu Shi Han's somewhat scattered thoughts back to reality.

Gu Shihan held the dazzling treasure in her hand, her eyes sparkling with surprise and doubt. After a moment's hesitation, she slowly said, "This is a magical artifact of light!"

These words immediately drew gasps of astonishment from those around them. The legendary magical artifact of light had vanished from the world for many years; its reappearance before their very eyes was nothing short of astonishing.

"Light magic treasures? Weren't all the light magic treasures destroyed? One of the important reasons why evil and demons are rampant now is that the light magic treasures that were rumored to be able to restrain them have either been destroyed or have disappeared."

This is why cultivators with the power of merit find it difficult to grow stronger, disrupting the balance of power between good and evil, leading to the current chaotic situation. "Could it be that our appearance this time truly has an extraordinary significance?" Nangong Yi murmured to himself, his face filled with astonishment.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan fell into deep thought. She pondered to herself that Shi Qinghan, as the chosen one, might indeed be tasked with saving the world.

But she was just an insignificant nobody, or even cannon fodder who could be killed off at any moment. Could she possibly play an important role in this journey to save the world? Thinking of this, Gu Shihan felt a surge of confusion and complicated thoughts, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

Gu Shihan shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the strange emotions in his heart. Ever since he accidentally transmigrated to this mysterious other world, a series of unbelievable things have followed one after another.

By chance, he came to possess the Moonbracelet, thus embarking on a cultivation path filled with unknowns and challenges. Along this path, he also developed intricate connections with several important figures in the Heavenly Court.

For example, there was the beautiful and ethereal Fairy Qingchen; the unfathomable Master Xiangtian who had shown me great kindness; and the revered Senior Xiang Ai, and so on.

Their successive appearances are by no means accidental; there must be some profound meaning or unknown reason behind them.

Just then, a warm voice interrupted Gu Shihan's thoughts: "Shihan, why are you daydreaming? Are you really sure this is the legendary magical artifact of light?"

Gu Shihan snapped back to her senses, and after composing herself, said, "Of course I'm sure! The moment I held it, detailed information about it flooded my mind like a tidal wave. Moreover, I could clearly feel the incredibly pure power emanating from it."

Hearing Gu Shihan's confident words, the surrounding crowd gathered around, curiously watching the jade ruyi known as the "treasure of light," and occasionally letting out exclamations of amazement.

The jade ruyi was crystal clear, shimmering with a soft, gentle light, and had a warm, lustrous sheen.

Gu Jiahui reached out and gently touched the jade ruyi, then said with emotion, "It is indeed different! When my fingers touched it, an indescribable sense of intimacy arose spontaneously, as if it should have always belonged to us. Not only that, this feeling also makes one feel particularly comfortable and pleasant, it's truly wonderful!"

“Yes! I felt it too!” Wen Xin nodded in agreement with a smile. “That must be the magical feeling brought about by the so-called pure power.”

Amidst the crowd's praises, this magical artifact of light finally successfully recognized Gu Shihan as its master.

“We’re really lucky. Where’s our next stop?” Duan Siqi asked with a smile.

She looked forward to her future adventures, because the appearance of this magical treasure seemed to have changed the entire First Heaven. Of course, those involved were completely unaware of this.

While the group was still reeling from the surprise, a repulsive force appeared, pulling them out and landing them in a dark forest.

"What kind of place is this?! Look at all these trees and grass, they're all black! This is so eerie!" Wenxin exclaimed, her eyes wide with astonishment. Her voice was particularly abrupt and loud in the silent space.
