Xiangyang Du Manor was located in the southwest corner of Xiangyang City. It took up an extremely large amount of land.

The interior of the Du Residence was a continuous stream of houses, and the courtyard was deep and serene. One brick and one tile, one grass and one tree; pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water meet each other.

The Du Residence was a tall and wide place with the word "Du Residence" hanging on the porch hanging in the air. With the golden eaves, it was even more majestic.

There were four gate guards standing on both sides of the gate. All of them wore fresh clothes, and their bodies were sturdy. Anyone who passed by would inevitably be intimidated by their shocking aura, and would not dare to speak out loud.

On the first of June, a clamor arose in front of the Du Residence. It was a stark contrast to the desolation of the past. The gatekeepers were even more well-dressed, but the smile on their faces was like flowers blooming.

Regardless of who it was, everyone in the Du Residence would consciously pay their respects to Wen Da. Even the current Son of Heaven was no exception, Master Du Jiai and his son Du Xianggui both made their names known to the world, garnering the respect of everyone around them. At this moment, all of their faces were full of joy.

Today was the twelfth birthday of the only young master of the Du Residence, Du Qi. Tonight, they would complete a mission passed down to them from their ancestors. Whether they succeeded or not, it could be considered an explanation to their ancestors.

After sending off the guests, Du Jianhui and Du Qizheng went to the main north room of the main hall to pay their respects to the ancestors of the generation. They opened the secret door beside the spiritual altar and entered the secret chamber that was normally forbidden to anyone.

The chamber was deep underground and was full of traps along the way. It was more than two hundred feet deep. Although few people went in and out of the chamber, there was no sign of stale air. The ventilation system was excellent.

The room was not large, only two square meters, and was rectangular in shape. Right in front of the entrance, there was a statue of a person sitting on a chair. The statue and the chair seemed to be carved from a piece of white jade, looking lifelike under the candlelight. In front of him was an antique square table with an old box on it.

There was nothing else in the room, and Dodge did not know that such a place existed in the house. He did not know why, but seeing that his grandfather and father were both devout and solemn, which made him feel suffocated and oppressed, and even more afraid to ask questions, he could only look at his grandfather and his father in confusion.

As Du Qi was looking around, he suddenly heard his grandfather say in a serious tone, "Qi'er, quickly come and visit the Yellow Emperor!"

Du Qi was confused. "Emperor? Is he the Emperor? How can our family have a statue of the Emperor in the basement? But no matter how I look at it, he doesn't look like an emperor. " He wanted to, but he did not hesitate to follow Du's instructions and kneel before the Yellow Emperor's statue, solemnly and courteously.

All three of them stood up as they greeted him. Dudian asked: "Do you find it strange that our family doesn't worship the 'emperor'?"

Du Qi's face flushed red after his grandfather revealed some of his inner thoughts, not daring to reply.

Du Xiu cautiously opened the small box on the table and solemnly said to Du Qi, "Our Du Family's Ancestor was a close official of the Yellow Emperor, so our Du Family has an infinite amount of kindness. That's why our Ancestor ordered all of our descendants, including the boys, to come and pay their respects to the Yellow Emperor on their twelfth birthday. They wear these two treasures and start practising their family's internal techniques."

Du Qi looked at the small box that contained a dark red heart-shaped jade pendant the size of a duck's palm and an unremarkable dark grey bracelet. He was slightly at a loss as he felt the jade pendant and bracelet gradually turn bright, as if they had been injected with life.

Just as Du Qi was amazed, he suddenly heard Du Qizheng say, "QI'er, the Du Family's so-called family inheritance internal force skill is only an introductory skill passed down by our ancestors. As long as you're slightly proficient in it, the power of your previous skill will increase a hundredfold."

When Du Qi heard this, he was pleasantly surprised and asked curiously, "If just the elementary mental cultivation method has such great benefits, wouldn't it be even more amazing if you learned all the mental cultivation methods?"

Du Jiu looked at the jade pendant and bracelet in the small box and sighed, "Whether you can learn the whole mental cultivation method depends on your luck? Do you remember the story of the Nuwa Heaven Mending? "

Du Qi replied, "Your grandson dares not forget this legend."

"That's not a legend. You can tell us the truth!"

Du Qi said slowly, "In ancient times, there was a war between the Water God Gonggong and the Fire God Zhu Rong. "Under the fury of Gong Gong, that pillar that was supporting the sky suddenly let out an earth-shattering sound. Instantly, the mountain collapsed and the pillar broke. The sky collapsed and the earth caved in."

At this point, Dodge looked furtively at his grandfather and father, who seemed to be listening to him, and went on: "Suddenly there was a big hole in the sky, and huge boulders fell from the sky and crashed down on innocent people who did not know what was happening. There were also huge fissures in the earth, and the flames were born from the ground, and the water was inextinguishable and rolled towards the frightened people. Most of the people were drowned, burned, and crushed to death, leaving the survivors to flee up the mountain in a panic. However, the mountain forest was the territory of beasts, and after being invaded, they became enraged and began to frantically attack. Although people tried to fight back, they could not stop the fierce attacks of flying beasts, and many people were bitten to death and eaten by beasts. Humans have encountered an unprecedented disaster. Some were drowned by the surging flood, some were burned to death by merciless flames, some were smashed to death by crazy boulders, some were bitten to death by vicious insect snakes, some were killed by brutal beasts, and some were eaten by ferocious giant birds. Humans are in danger of extinction. "

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Mother Nuwa witnessed the human race suffering from such a strange disaster, so she decided to make up for her suffering. She found all kinds of Five-Colored Stone from all over the world and used the Divine Flame to melt the stones, and then used the stone slurry to block the holes in the sky. She captured a Myriad God Turtle and used its four legs as a pillar to support the collapsing sky, then she killed the black dragons and the insects that harmed the human race, eliminating the harm to the wild race. "After a long period of hard work by Nuwa, the land has been filled up, the water has been filled up, the dragons, serpents, beasts, converging into a new place, and finally, people are living a peaceful and happy life."

The story was told slowly in the clear voice of a child's voice, and it was as if it had been told, and if it had happened, it would have struck both DuDu and DuDu, and the story they had taught him would have been so touching and touching. Both of their faces revealed a benevolent smile. Du Jiu sincerely praised, "Qi Er is really good. It was better than what grandpa said!"

Dodge said humbly, "Grandson didn't say it well, so grandpa praises him too much."

Du Wei smiled: "Alright, alright. Our family's little weirdo is thin skinned. Grandpa won't say anything."

Du Yougui, who rarely had the chance to speak, was elated. His son was stronger than him, so he was happy to be praised by his father.

Du Qi, on the other hand, didn't feel too good about this and protested coquettishly, "Grandpa!"

"Even though this great disaster has gone far, it has left an indelible mark. The sky is still a little tilted northwest, so the sun, moon, and stars all naturally went to the west and then to the southeast, so all the rivers flowed there."

"When the tortoise is attacked, the legs and feet are tucked into the hard shell. Is it true that the snake is always curled up in a ball when it feels danger?"

Du Jiu was stunned for a moment and then laughed as he praised, "Our family has a rich imagination. This matter is bound to be good!"

Du Qi asked again, "Why is it that no one else is going to help the Nuwa Heaven Mending?"

Back then, when the Yuanshi Heavenly Sovereign received the news that humans were in danger, he had rushed back from beyond the Nine Heavens to prepare to save the Li Clan. It was just that Nuwa was one step ahead of her, when the Yuanshi Heavenly Sovereign arrived, she could only see the Nuwa Heaven Replenishing Pill and the stone refining platform where stones were melted.

Dean asked: "Is there another sky outside the world? I think there are nine?"

Du Wei said, "Ancient man's cloud: 'Heaven beyond Heaven', there is a total of 33 Layered Heavens within the world, but we do not know how many Layered Heavens we are under. Regardless of the legends or the facts, there must be other worlds apart from our world, otherwise where does the Primal Heavenly Sovereign live?"

Right. This was because no one in this world had ever met an Empyrean God Yuanshi, Mother Nuwa, or any of the other great gods. Du Qi couldn't help but believe him, and he asked curiously, "Then wouldn't Empyrean Yuanshi have come here for nothing?"

Du Yuan said, "Although the Yuanshi Tianzun didn't make it to the sky, he was surprised to find that the turtle beside the Heaven Mending Platform was bleeding profusely. The Myriad Spirit Turtle that had its four limbs chopped down by Nuwa had died a long time ago, and the evil Black Dragon not far away had also fallen to its death in a pool of blood. Furthermore, there is a rare soul in the depths of the stone platform.

Du Qi asked again, "Then what is a Soul Essence?"

Du Yu said, "The stones refined by the Nuwa Heaven Mending pill contain a mysterious energy. The spirit of the stones is formed from the essence of many of the Multicolored Stone's essences after being refined by the Nuwa Divine Flame. Therefore, he gathered the three kinds of treasures, the Soul Essence, the Turtle Blood and the Dragon Blood, and used them to refine the remaining Dragon Qi into a miraculous jade. "

Du Qi asked, "Is that Fang Yu an item in the box?"

"Yes, that's right. This piece of jade can be said to have the essence of the Multicolored Stone, the mysteries of the Divine Turtles, and the illusions of the Black Dragons. After being refined and refined by the Yuanshi Heavenly Sovereign, it is known as the 'Longevity Pendant'.

"Does the bracelet have anything to do with that?"

Du Jiu praised, "Of course, turtle shell and dragon skin are also rare treasures. It is natural that the Yuanshi Heavenly Sovereign would not let them go so easily. He has refined these two treasures into a bracelet with the rest of the reed. It's called the 'Illusionary Sky Bracelet'."

Du Qi said, "Those dragon bones and turtle bones should be very precious as well. I wonder what other treasures Sky Sovereign has refined?"

Du Jiuwen didn't know how to answer this question. He replied, "Yuanshi Tianzun is the God of Treasure, and I don't think he would easily throw away the more valuable turtles and dragon bones."

Du Qi knew that he could not find out the whereabouts of the Dragon and Tortoise's Bone, so he thought it was a pity. Suddenly, he had a strange thought and asked, "That Zhou Shan is a pillar that can support the sky, so he must be very big. Where did he fall after being hit by that Gong Gong? Can Grandpa take this grandson to have a look? "

Du Wei smiled and said, "Sky Sovereign has already refined the collapsed Innate Soul Treasure into the invincible Innate Spiritual Seal. In this world, we can no longer see the collapsed Innate Spiritual Seal. Moreover, the collapsed Zhou Mountain is located outside the Northwest Sea, in the corner of the Wasteland. We mortals cannot go there, so how can Grandpa take you to see it?"

Du Qi was not depressed by the fact that he could not go to watch the situation at Zhou Mountain. Instead, he seemed rather excited and suddenly thought of something. "If my grandson has a treasure like the Heavenly Seal, can I not need to learn martial arts?"

Suddenly, he raised his middle finger and lightly knocked on Du Qi's head. With a slightly reproachful smile, he said, "For treasures like this Heaven Seal, even cultivators with profound cultivation may not necessarily be able to command it, much less us ordinary mortals."

Knowing that he was thinking too much, Du Qi didn't dare mention anything about the Seal of Mysteries anymore. He could only smile awkwardly and say, "Hehe, but why are the two treasures, the Longevity Pendant and the Illusory Sky Bracelet, in our house?"

"Although these two treasures are extremely precious, they are of no use to the Yuanshi Tianzun himself. Later on, he bestowed the two treasures to the first disciple, Guangcheng Zi, who recorded the essence of his cultivation in the jade pendant and named it 'Longevity Quest'. Then, Guangcheng handed the two treasures over to the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor also bestowed them to the ancestors before he ascended."

Du Qi sighed. "So these two things actually have such a strange experience and legend!"

Du Wei and Du Huaigui were deeply moved: "Qi'er, now hang the jade pendants in front of your chest and put the bracelet on your left wrist. If you feel uncomfortable during the training, don't be afraid and directly remove them."

"And if there is no discomfort?"

Dean patted his head: "If that's the case then grandpa will give these two treasures to you to play with."

Du Qi couldn't help but cheer. He impatiently grabbed the bracelet and put it on his left wrist. The size was just right for him, as if it was custom-made for him.

Du Jiu carefully hung the jade belt on Du Qi's neck. He stuffed the jade pendant into Du Qi's corset so that Yu and Du Qi's skin could intimately come into contact. He then asked a little nervously, "How do you feel?"
