In the scene revealed by the Bamboo Shadow Thunder Pool, Du Yu saw that magnificent Chi Bear...

Is it the Prophet!?

Yes, it must be!

In the scene revealed by the Bamboo Shadow Thunder Pool, Du Yu had the perspective of a deity, an audience watching a film.

How could the characters in the movie step out of the big screen and interact face-to-face with the audience?

The problem is, that grand Chi Bear managed to do just that!

That is to say, it didn’t truly communicate face-to-face with Du Yu, but rather foresaw that Du Yu would witness this scene at a certain moment.

So, in this special segment, the Chi Bear recorded everything it wanted to convey to Du Yu in advance.

One palm flat, the other gripping air, pressing gently in the palm?

"Junior Brother?" Fu Jianzhou called softly.

"Ah!" Du Yu returned to his senses, his expression solemn, "Wait a minute, I need to ask Dixiu."

The sudden information launched Du Yu into a wild whirl of thoughts, connecting many notions.

Similarly, there are things he needs to verify!

As he spoke, Du Yu turned around and once again disappeared into the Seven-foot Map of the Realm.

Under Fu Jianzhou’s curious gaze, Du Yu returned to the mountain peak, making his way directly to the Dixiu Tree.

Yang Qingqing gazed at her returning disciple against the sky, her face showing signs of inquiry.

Unexpectedly, Du Yu did not descend nor respond.

He merely nodded apologetically, then proceeded to the branches of the Dixiu Tree.

"Dixiu, have you ever seen the Chi Bear race?" Du Yu asked directly, summoning Little Tai Sui as he spoke.

"Hm?" Little Tai Sui was cradled in Du Yu’s arms.

Little Tai Sui struggled a bit before realizing he was high above, obediently clinging to his master.

Dixiu extended a branch, resting it on Tai Sui’s shoulder as well as Du Yu’s: "I’ve seen them, my growth area was not far from the Chi Bear’s Courtyard."

Du Yu’s eyes lit up.

Indeed, you grew in a specific environment!

Du Yu never believed that the magnificent Chi Bear in the revelation existed on the Demon Taming Continent.

Considering the degree of development Great Xia had over its territory, it was impossible not to have noticed such creatures.

Thus, the Chi Bear in the revelation might very well be located on the Ashen Continent!

Furthermore, that Chi Bear nestled amidst a Bamboo Sea, possibly remaining in its own courtyard?

Now, with the Dixiu Tree supplying information and coordinates, Du Yu would be able to locate that hidden bamboo grove in the wild world!

He grasped the branch: "Tell me the precise location of the Chi Bear’s Courtyard. I want to search for that Bamboo Sea."

The voice of the Dixiu Tree was filled with deep history: "The Chi Bears have no courtyard anymore, in my world, there is no Bamboo Sea."

Du Yu: "Huh?"

The Dixiu Tree sighed deeply: "I once witnessed the Chi Bears moving out as one, heading to the battlefield with the Holy Artifact - Tai Sui Bamboo."

Du Yu’s heart tightened.

Victory or sacrifice?

The Dixiu Tree’s heart was mournful, speaking gravely: "The Chi Bears left and never returned.

Without the Chi Bears, without the Tai Sui Bamboo, in a world dominated by Youhan, there is no Bamboo Sea."

Du Yu: "How do you know they all set out together?"

This contradicts the wisdom of the Chi Bears!

And since there’s a Prophet, Du Yu has reason to believe the Chi Bears should have left behind a lineage.

The Dixiu Tree continued to speak on its own: "They once lingered beneath the tree, asking for my fruit. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Chi Bears said, the Dixiu Fruit is sweet.

The Chi Bears also made a pact with me, to return for the fruits once they gained honor and returned home."

Du Yu opened his mouth, unsure what to say.

The Dixiu Tree: "I prepared many fruits for them, waiting for decades, even centuries...

Yet never saw their return again."

"Hm." Little Tai Sui, absorbing the thoughts transferred via the branch, exclaimed softly.

Its furry head rested on Du Yu’s shoulder, eyes filled with sorrow.

Gradually, the branch of the Dixiu Tree looped behind Du Yu’s shoulder, carrying a Dixiu Fruit, presenting it to Little Tai Sui.

The Dixiu Tree: "Child, eat on behalf of your kind."

"Hm!" The furry face buried itself in Du Yu’s shoulder.

Little Tai Sui refused the Dixiu Fruit, its paws tightly gripping Du Yu.
