85: The person in the statue—Wuji!

The anomaly I just sensed was very subtle.

Initially, you only noticed it when you were Breaking Through the third layer of the Heavenly Evolution Art.

At first, you thought it was your imagination.

But when you just Broke Through to the Late Stage of the Void Refining Realm, you noticed the anomaly even more clearly.

You thought to yourself, 'Could there be another mystery within the Bronze Divine Hall?'

The Bronze Divine Hall could be said to be the first ancient Legacy you encountered.

Moreover, the murals inside the Bronze Divine Hall recorded a part of the ancient truth.

You stood up and carefully searched for this aura within the Bronze Divine Hall.

After closing your eyes, the aura of the Heavenly Evolution Art emanated around your body, and at this moment, you perceived this energy even more clearly.

You walked in the direction of this energy, eventually arriving beside a statue.

At this point, you realized that this power was emanating from the statue.

And the statue before you was precisely the one where the Heavenly Evolution Art Legacy resided.

You looked at the statue before you, examining it from left to right, but found no anomalies.

Finally, you placed your hand on the statue, wanting to see if there were any mechanisms.

The next second, your palm was sucked onto the statue, and your expression immediately changed drastically.

You tried to pull your hand away, but found that the statue was absorbing your Spiritual Qi.

In an instant, after most of your Spiritual Qi was absorbed, a white light flashed from the statue before you.

Your body was instantly sucked into the statue, and your figure disappeared from the Bronze Divine Hall.

When you opened your eyes again, you found yourself in a dimly lit space.

You hadn't expected that the statue inside the Bronze Divine Hall would contain such a hidden mystery.

You looked around and found that you were currently in a passage.

Although you didn't know where this place was, you could be certain that it was related to the Tianji Pavilion.

Only by Cultivating the Heavenly Evolution Art could one activate the statue and be sucked into this space.

You walked along the passage for an unknown amount of time in the dimly lit corridor, until you saw a pavilion appear before you.

After taking a deep breath, you stepped into the pavilion.

Upon entering the pavilion, your footsteps suddenly stopped, and your pupils sharply contracted as you looked at the scene before you.

You saw a person, a middle-aged man, sitting cross-legged in the center of the pavilion.

You hadn't expected there to be a person inside the statue; you just didn't know if the man before you was dead or alive.

You cautiously walked towards the man, and as you reached him, the man before you slowly opened his eyes.

“How many years have passed? What year is it now?”

“Someone has finally come!”

Your body stiffened abruptly, and you stared intently at the man before you.

“Who are you?”

You looked at the man before you and noticed that his eyes were filled with profound depth.

“Me? I’ve forgotten my name.”

“A person who should have vanished in the long river of time, barely survived until now by relying on the Bronze Divine Hall.”

“However, I don't have much time left, but fortunately, I met you at the last moment.”

“You can call me Wuji!”

You looked at Wuji before you and asked curiously.

“Me? Are you waiting for me?”

Wuji smiled lightly.

“Yes! And no!”

“To be precise, I am waiting for someone who Cultivates the Heavenly Evolution Art.”

“And you are the first person I have waited for.”

You vigilantly looked at Wuji and asked him why, if many people Cultivated the Heavenly Evolution Art, no one else had arrived.

Wuji told you that to enter the Bronze Divine Hall, one must Cultivate to the Qi Training Extreme Realm.

Wuji then told you that those who Cultivate the Heavenly Evolution Art usually do not Cultivate to the Qi Training Extreme Realm, not even those from the Tianji Pavilion.

Upon hearing this, you remembered that not just anyone could enter the Bronze Divine Hall.

Immediately after, Wuji asked you about the current state of the Canglan Realm.

You briefly explained the current situation of the Canglan Realm to him.

After listening, Wuji sighed deeply.

“I never expected that in today’s Canglan Realm, the Human Race doesn’t even have many Mahayana Cultivators left.”

At this moment, you suddenly asked Wuji if he was from the Tianji Pavilion.

Wuji did not hide it and nodded, admitting that he was indeed from the Tianji Pavilion.

Seeing this, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on your face.

“Senior Wuji, please tell me, where is the old site of the Tianji Pavilion?”

Upon hearing this, a nostalgic expression appeared on Wuji's face, followed by a warm smile.

“The Tianji Pavilion is in... in... where was it again?”

As he spoke, you saw the smile on Wuji's face abruptly vanish, replaced by a furrowed brow.

After a long while, you saw Wuji let out a long sigh.

“Too much time has passed; my memory is already very blurry. I’ve even forgotten the location of the Tianji Pavilion.”

“However, I can confirm that the Tianji Pavilion is in Central Province!”

Central Province, you silently noted down the approximate location of the Tianji Pavilion.

However, you deeply understood how vast Central Province was; the four major provinces of the Canglan Realm combined might not even be as large as Central Province.

Thinking of this, you felt a headache coming on.

Subsequently, you asked Wuji what his purpose was in waiting for him here.

However, the answer you received left you disappointed.

“Young friend, to be honest, most of my memories are lost.”

“I don’t even know why I am here or what my purpose is, I only understand some things about this Bronze Divine Hall and the invasion of Weird Insects into the Canglan Realm.”

Wuji saw the disappointment on your face.

“Young friend, do you have anything that can restore the Soul?”

“Perhaps after my Soul is restored, I will be able to recall more things.”

Upon hearing this, you looked at Wuji before you with a speechless expression.

Before you entered here, most of your Spiritual Qi had already been absorbed by the statue.

Now, not only did you not gain any benefits from Wuji, but he was asking you for Spirit Medicine.

However, you truly did not have any Spirit Medicine that could restore the Soul.

You told Wuji that over ninety percent of the resources in the Canglan Realm were controlled by Weird Insects, and it was impossible for the Human Race to obtain Spirit Medicine for repairing the Soul.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Wuji's eyes.

“Young friend, can you take me out?”

“I want to see the Canglan Realm one last time before my Soul completely dissipates.”

Hearing this, your eyes narrowed slightly.

When you first met Wuji, he had no attachment to the world, but now he actually wanted you to take him out.

This stark contrast made you have to be cautious.

“Oh? Senior wants to go out and see?”
