80: The Origin of the Mortal World

"Gu Yuan, do you know Xi Nian's true identity...?"

After taking the Medicinal Pill Gu Yuan handed over, Sect Master Zhao Su's complexion instantly returned to its peak state.

This couldn't help but surprise her. She suppressed her amazement, looked at Gu Yuan, and spoke.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly and said:

"I know. Xi Nian is an Incarnation of the origin of the great dao, right? I just don't know which specific origin of the great dao she is yet."

Sister Xia had told him before that there are three thousand Daos, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and humans escape through the one.

Xi Nian is an Incarnation of an origin of the great dao, but even she herself didn't know which specific one it was.

Hmm...?

Zhao Su was somewhat stunned upon hearing this. He actually knew?

One must know that even Xi Nian herself wasn't very clear about this secret, let alone the entire Taiyi Dao Sect.

Yet now Gu Yuan actually knew. Just what was this young man's identity?

Zhao Su shook her head, and the look in her eyes as she watched Xi Nian became somewhat affectionate.

"Xi Nian is the Incarnation of the Mortal World Origin. She is also the only Incarnation of an origin of the great dao to appear since the birth of our Taiyi Dao Sect."

Zhao Su sighed, her tone filled with a bit of emotion.

"Furthermore, the Great Dao of the Mortal World has always been the highest pursuit of our Taiyi Dao Sect. Therefore, Xi Nian can be said to be our future."

Hearing her say this, Gu Yuan nodded.

The Great Dao of the Mortal World... that sounds like it belongs to a very Advanced category.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan glanced at Xi Nian, who was standing obediently by his side.

Seeing him look over, she also gave a sweet smile.

Well... this silly girl doesn't look like an origin of the great dao at all.

"Actually, occasionally I have a vague, inexplicable feeling in my heart. Looking at it now, is it because I am the Incarnation of the Great Dao of the Mortal World's Origin...?"

Xi Nian bit her lip and murmured.

At this moment, the feeling in her heart was very subtle.

She wasn't mentally prepared for the fact that she was actually an Incarnation of the origin of the great dao.

After all, Xi Nian had always thought she was just the Saintess of the Taiyi Dao Sect... Gu Yuan saw the complex expression on her face, chuckled softly, and then took her small hand.

"Don't be afraid. No matter what, I'm here, okay?"

Mm... Xi Nian nodded vigorously. Whether it was before or now.

As long as Gu Yuan was by her side, she would feel very much at peace.

Seeing the two of them so deeply in love, Zhao Su also showed a slight smile, but she soon sighed.

"The Great Dao of the Mortal World is a very important origin of the great dao. This is why that Envoy personally came to our world."

"He is a representative of the Heavenly Dao walking in the world. His status is not something we can contend with. I just didn't expect..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Su looked at Gu Yuan with some awe.

To this day, she didn't know how Gu Yuan was able to defeat that Lord Envoy.

Clearly... he was just the Young Sect Master of the Jade Moon Sect.

"Yes, I know all of this. It seems everything still depends on what That Woman can confess."

Gu Yuan thought for a moment, then spoke to Zhao Su again:

"Sect Master Zhao Su, just leave Xi Nian's matters to me. Rest assured, I definitely won't let her come to any harm."

Zhao Su smiled gently upon hearing this. Seeing Xi Nian's submissive appearance, she was also very gratified.

"Xi Nian's judgment is truly good. Gu Yuan, I entrust Xi Nian to you."

Xi Nian pursed her lips and looked at her.

"Sect Master, Gu Yuan is very good to me. Don't worry, mm..."

Zhao Su smiled and nodded, though a look of hesitation remained on her face.

"Gu Yuan, although you dealt with that Lord Envoy this time, Xi Nian's importance as the Origin of the Great Dao of the Mortal World is unquestionable. There may be more Envoys in the future..."

By the end, Zhao Su sighed, her tone filled with deep worry.

Gu Yuan understood her meaning, but with the System on him, he wasn't overly concerned.

"It's fine. No one can take Xi Nian away from me. However, Sect Master, you should pay more attention to your safety. No one can guarantee they won't act against you..."

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan directly exchanged for a Formation from the System Mall and handed it to Zhao Su.

"Sect Master, please take this Formation and set it up within the Taiyi Dao Sect over the next few days. If any of those so-called Envoys come again, it can help defend, and I will know immediately."

Gu Yuan explained the usage and function of this Formation to Zhao Su.

Zhao Su was stunned after listening, showing some hesitation.

Seeing this, Xi Nian followed up from the side:

"Sect Master, please accept it. I already felt bad enough for involving the Sect because of me. If the Sect's Disciples and Elders were put in danger because of me, I would be even more guilty."

Zhao Su gave a light sigh and finally accepted it.

"We will certainly be careful in the future. Xi Nian, Gu Yuan, you two as well. After all, the existence we are facing has a status that is simply too high."

After leaving the main hall of the Taiyi Dao Sect, Xi Nian kept holding onto Gu Yuan.

"Gu Yuan, what exactly is the origin of the great dao? I still don't have a clear understanding. If I really remember something in the future, will I forget you?"

Xi Nian was feeling somewhat anxious and uncertain. For the first time in her life, she questioned her own Origins.

Hearing her words, Gu Yuan found it a bit funny and pinched her little cheek.

"You, don't think so much. Forget me? Your whole person belongs to me now. Speaking of which, Xi Nian, tonight we..."

Gu Yuan chuckled and leaned into Xi Nian's ear to whisper a few words.

In the next moment, Xi Nian's ears turned bright red, and she lightly pounded Gu Yuan's chest.

How can this guy be so bad... but under Gu Yuan's mischievous gaze, she still bit her lip and nodded obediently.

Mm... whatever he wants. Anyway, she was already his.

The slight trace of worry in Xi Nian's heart just now completely vanished.

Yes, her entire Dao Heart was now filled with Gu Yuan's shadow. How could she possibly forget him?

If such a thing really happened, she would rather destroy her Dao Heart to find back everything related to Gu Yuan.

Afterward, Gu Yuan and Xi Nian returned to the Star Observation Platform and had afternoon tea with Little Noodle.

As evening approached, Gu Yuan felt it was time to go see how Tian Mei was doing.

Besides, after finishing up, he had to go find Xi Nian. She had promised him he could... cough... hehe... Xi Nian looked at Gu Yuan's mischievous gaze with some shyness and hurriedly pulled Yun Qingci away.

"Gu Yuan, work hard. If you still can't handle That Woman tonight, I'll look down on you~ Heehee~"

As Yun Qingci was dragged away by Xi Nian, she didn't forget to wink at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan just rolled his eyes, while also making up his mind to definitely handle Tian Mei tonight.

Otherwise, he would really be looked down upon by that Little Noodle.
