Lu Luanti just realized that the phrase ’everyone’ included herself and Little Flat Head.

She reluctantly tugged at the corners of her mouth but still complied by lifting Little Flat Head’s neck and retreating.

Moments later, only Lishan Old Mother and Chu Xisheng remained inside Qianqiu Hall.

"I invited you to come to Lishan because someone entrusted me to deliver something into your hands."

Lishan Old Mother rose from her seat and approached Chu Xisheng.

She handed a Jade Bottle to Chu Xisheng: "This is given to me by someone to pass to you. It may be of great use in the future. As for when to use it, it is entirely up to you."

Chu Xisheng received the Jade Bottle with a puzzled expression, his eyes narrowing slightly with surprise and doubt.

Inside the Jade Bottle was an object that could allow him to advance to Lower Second Grade, or even Lower First Grade, without interference!

Chu Xisheng anticipated that advancing his cultivation in the future would be extremely difficult.

The breakthrough from Second Grade to First Grade was especially daunting.

Not only would various forces from the Mortal World try to obstruct him, but those Eternal Gods would certainly interfere as well.

So, despite being among the top ten on the Heavenly List and appearing awe-inspiring, his path forward was almost blocked, with minimal chances of crossing it.

This is why Chu Xisheng is trying everything to enhance Little Flat Head’s combat power. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After all, it’s his Coexistence Beast!

The power possessed by Little Flat Head could also be utilized by him.

Chu Xisheng himself cannot possess super-grade combat power before reaching Second Grade. But with Little Flat Head, they might cross that line.

As for Bai Xiaozhao, she is incidental.

But now, Lishan Old Mother offers a safe opportunity for promotion directly to him.

Chu Xisheng raised his eyes to Lishan Old Mother, his voice hoarse: "Old Mother, may I ask who entrusted you with this item?"

Who is this person, tirelessly assisting him?

"Can’t say."

Lishan Old Mother shook her head slightly, her expression calm: "The name of this person is watched by countless great powers in heaven and earth. Giving this item to you is already a considerable risk. Once his name is revealed, it may alarm all around.

Actually, you need not worry or understand, just know that many are anticipating your day of seeing eternity."

Chu Xisheng nodded thoughtfully, then bowed respectfully to Lishan Old Mother again: "Thank you, Old Mother, your kindness is like re-creation, and junior is immensely grateful!"

He knows that although this item is gifted by a mysterious person, Lishan Old Mother’s effort is significant.

She alone could obscure the heavenly mechanism during preservation and delivery, avoiding the eyes of the Outer Heaven Gods.

At this moment, his path forward has already been paved halfway, how could Chu Xisheng not be grateful.

Lishan Old Mother smiled lightly, accepting his courtesy with composure.

Then she saw that when Chu Xisheng raised his head, his expression was extraordinarily serious.

Lishan Old Mother’s eyes revealed a hint of curiosity: "Judging by your expression, is there another matter for which you’ve come to Lishan?"

"Junior has a question seeking Old Mother’s guidance."

Chu Xisheng hesitated inwardly but eventually opened up: "Old Mother, having lived a million years, you are well-versed in many secrets of the world. Do you know of anything in heaven and earth that requires the power of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang to be combined in one body?"

Lishan Old Mother was stunned upon hearing this, then suddenly grasped Chu Xisheng’s hand, her deep, cold eyes flashing brilliantly.

Her face disclosed surprise, clarity, and joy in succession. She clutched his hand tightly, causing it to audibly crack.

Lishan Old Mother finally closed her eyes for a moment, managing her emotions.

Her exceptionally beautiful face returned to a calm and composed demeanor.

"So it is, indeed!" She murmured two phrases, then releasing his hand with an apologetic look: "My apologies, Xisheng, your question indeed caught me by surprise."

Lishan Old Mother couldn’t restrain her emotions, her voice trembling slightly, yet her expression remained solid as ice: "Fortunately, you asked me. I can’t give you an answer now and hope you won’t ask again. You must discover the truth yourself and never mention this before others."

Chu Xisheng furrowed his brows, nodding slightly.

Though Lishan Old Mother said nothing, Chu Xisheng had grasped part of the answer from her expressions and words.

Indeed, there exists a significant matter tied to Extreme Yin and Yang in heaven and earth, contrary to the will of the Eternal Gods.

Lishan Old Mother then earnestly said: "Your primary task now is to swiftly advance your cultivation, ideally reaching First Grade within two years. Otherwise~"

She ceased speaking, instead pacing to Qianqiu Hall’s entrance, gazing toward the sky.

"Whether it’s the Human Clan, Dragon Species, or we legacy subjects of the Human Clan’s Emperor, there will be no future—"

Chu Xisheng didn’t understand, but his heart grew increasingly heavy.

He did not think Lishan Old Mother was exaggerating; surely, there’s an imminent crisis facing the Human Clan.

This can be inferred from the recent unusual actions of Li Changsheng and others.

He immediately felt overwhelmed.

Advancing to First Grade within two years? Even Chu Yunyun might find it challenging.

A month later, Chu Xisheng piloted the ’Bathing Sun Divine Ship’ away from Lishan.
