After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Gu Qingze continued walking deeper into the lush green. Every step he took seemed to be on soft grass, and the air was filled with a fresh scent.

At the deepest point, a suspended object appeared before his eyes. It was shaped like a scepter and emitted a dazzling and mysterious light.

He was deeply attracted by the light, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

Could this be the treasure that contains a hint of fairy spirit that you will get after passing all the trials?

His heart beat faster and he could almost hear the sound of his blood boiling.

Gu Qingze stretched out his hand uncertainly, trying to touch the scepter, but suddenly felt a burst of heat, burning his fingers like a flame.

He subconsciously retracted his hand, frowned, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Then, he slowly felt the pain in his hands, as if burned by invisible flames.

He saw that his hands were terribly red and swollen, and his skin was red as if it had been licked by flames.

However, he did not give up. He gritted his teeth and reached out again, trying to endure the severe pain to get the scepter, but still failed.

Gu Qingze looked at the scepter and let out a long sigh. He slowly closed his eyes and then tried again.

This time, his fingers gently touched the dazzling light, but unexpectedly found that there was no burning feeling.

Instead, he felt a touch as warm and smooth as jade, as if he had touched the purest power between heaven and earth.

This startled him, and he immediately grasped the floating scepter firmly.

As he held the scepter, Gu Qingze felt a warm and powerful force surging out from the scepter, quickly spreading throughout his body along his arm.

His strength was greatly enhanced in an instant, and even his sea of ​​consciousness doubled in size.

He carefully looked at the scepter in his hand, which was engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns. He felt that there was some kind of mysterious connection between himself and the scepter.

Is this the breath of the fairyland?

Gu Qingze was a little confused. Apart from feeling that his cultivation seemed to have made some breakthroughs, he didn't feel anything different...and the situation he expected did not happen.

But... now is not the time for him to think about these things. The most urgent thing is to leave here first.

But how to leave?

Just when he wanted to leave, the scepter in his hand suddenly shone brightly and took him away.

Gu Qingze saw that he had returned to Red Maple Valley and smiled helplessly.

Wuyou Zhenren was still sitting cross-legged in his previous position, looking at him with a smile: "My friend, it seems that we have a deep bond."

Gu Qingze nodded, then sat down in his original seat and chatted with him for a long time until Master Wuliu was completely satisfied, then he said goodbye and left.

........

Qingyun Sect, Trading Peak——

With a lot of questions in mind, Gu Qingze once again stepped into the exchange opened by Shen Mengli.

This time they still went to the basement and still turned on the system shielding.

The difference from the last time was that Lan Yue did not appear to obstruct them again. It seemed that Shen Mengli had given her some new instructions or made some kind of promise, so she stopped obstructing them.

"Senior Sister Shen." Gu Qingze carefully took out the scepter from the storage bag and handed it to Shen Mengli.

"Sister, you have a system. Could you help me detect what the so-called immortal aura on this scepter is?"

Shen Mengli took the scepter and nodded lightly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Okay, I'll try it. To be honest, I'm also curious about this so-called aura of the fairyland."

She snapped her fingers lightly, as if summoning magic: "Dolly, come out to work."

The little bird named Dolly appeared out of thin air, landed lightly on the scepter, and pecked the surface of the scepter with its delicate beak.

"Extracting information about the object's composition—" Dolly's voice echoed in the quiet basement.

After pecking, Duoli returned Shen Mengli's shoulder, but suddenly stood still, as if frozen in time.

"What's wrong with it?" Gu Qingze's curiosity was completely aroused.

Shen Mengli smiled calmly and explained, "It's okay, it's just that the system is down because the information is too huge."

"After all, half of the system's origin has been given to you, so most of the system's functions are a bit off."

"But it doesn't matter. It can still be used. It's just a little slower. We just need to be patient and wait."

After a while, Dolly finally returned to normal. It pecked its wings lightly, shook its body, and spoke again: "Analysis successful."

"Master, do you have anything you want to ask?"

Shen Mengli couldn't wait to ask: "Is there any material from other worlds on the scepter that doesn't belong to this world?"

Dolly answered categorically: "It does not exist."

Shen Mengli continued to ask: "What about the upper matter belonging to this world?"

Dolly shook his head: "No."

"That's strange." Shen Mengli frowned slightly when she heard that, her face became a little solemn, as if she had thought of something.

"Junior Brother Gu, I have a very bold conjecture. Although it is bold, if that conjecture is true, it can explain many things..."

"Sister, you can say whatever you want. I, your junior brother, am not that fragile." Seeing her hesitation, Gu Qingze spoke with some comfort and encouragement in his tone.

Shen Mengli let out a long sigh, and then slowly spoke: "Junior Brother Gu, you said... this scepter contains a trace of immortal energy left by the predecessors of Wuyou Pavilion when they ascended to heaven, leaving it to the descendants of Wuyou Pavilion... right?"

Gu Qingze nodded and said truthfully: "Back then, when I was still in school, Luo Zimo found me on my way home and left me a note. This is what he wrote on it."

"I think... unless Luo Zimo wanted to tease me for fun, he would have no reason to lie to me."

"And...when I touched the scepter, I really felt a very magical power flowing into my body, which directly allowed me to break through to the Void Refining Stage."

"Although I had already reached the late stage of the Spiritualization before this, the path of cultivating immortals... becomes more and more difficult as time goes on, and it is also more difficult to improve the realm, especially to improve a large realm... When I touched the scepter to break through, it was like breathing, and I broke through smoothly."

"Not only that, my sea of ​​consciousness has also doubled in size. When it comes to mental strength, it's even harder to improve than cultivation."

Shen Mengli shook her head: "But this... Although it is not common, there are still some rare treasures that can achieve this effect."

"Senior Sister Shen, there's no need to beat around the bush when communicating between you and me. Just speak directly."

"Okay." Shen Mengli nodded gently, with a hint of solemnity in her tone, "I want to say, if everything you said is true, and Luo Zimo did not lie to you, then I think... there is no such thing as a fairyland, and there is no such thing as ascension."
