Daoist Xiushan chuckled and said, "Gu Sheng is indeed a talented child, and he will surely achieve great things in the future."
The two continued their conversation as they walked toward a stone table, ready to sit down for a detailed discussion.
Meanwhile, Gu Sheng had arrived outside the grand door of the Heavenly Hall. He looked at the towering entrance before him and raised his hand to knock. "Knock, knock, knock," the sound echoed in the silent air.
After a moment, a voice came from within: "Who is outside?"
"I am Gu Sheng, requesting to meet with the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch," Gu Sheng said loudly.
Soon after, the door opened, and a youth-like figure stepped out, saying, "The Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch requests your presence."
Gu Sheng followed the youth into the grand hall, where the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch sat in the main seat.
Gu Sheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Junior Gu Sheng greets the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch."
The Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch said, "Rise, what brings you to me?"
Gu Sheng asked urgently, "Heavenly Monarch, I heard that Luo Xi is here; may I inquire about her whereabouts?"
The Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch looked at Gu Sheng and said, "Luo Xi has returned to the Purple Spirit Realm. You should stay in the Tianlan Sacred Land quietly; you and she are from two different worlds after all."
The attitude of the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch seemed completely different from before, leaving Gu Sheng utterly confused.
"Heavenly Monarch, why did Luo Xi leave? Why has everything changed between us?" Gu Sheng stepped forward and asked eagerly, eyes filled with a thirst for answers.
But the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch did not answer Gu Sheng’s question, merely saying coldly, "Some matters are not yours to know."
Gu Sheng’s heart was increasingly filled with doubt and anxiety. He said, "No, I must find Luo Xi and ask her clearly; I cannot accept this uncertainty." Saying this, he stepped forward toward the exit of the Heavenly Hall.
How could the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch let him leave so easily? The Heavenly Monarch gently raised his hand, and a powerful force spread out, forming an invisible imprisonment that firmly bound Gu Sheng in place.
Gu Sheng felt as though countless iron chains were winding around him, immobilizing him. Anger surged within his heart, and he desperately used his own Spiritual Power to resist this imprisoning force. "Heavenly Monarch, why are you stopping me!" Gu Sheng shouted in anger while struggling.
The Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch watched Gu Sheng’s struggle, his gaze unwavering, simply shaking his head lightly. Gu Sheng’s resistance seemed so insignificant in the face of the Heavenly Monarch’s mighty strength.
Before long, the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch waved his hand lightly, strengthening the imprisoning force, making Gu Sheng feel a sharp pain in his chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, which stained his clothes.
"Why are you doing this to yourself." The Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch said lightly, "Luo Xi has her own mission; forget about her, it’s for the best for everyone."
Gu Sheng knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his hand on the ground, raised his head, his eyes filled with unwillingness, and asked loudly, "What exactly happened? Why does Luo Xi have such a mission? Why am I asked to forget her?"
The Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch looked at Gu Sheng, paused for a moment, then said coldly, "With your current strength, you are not qualified to know the truth."
Just as Gu Sheng was filled with despair, the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch stopped before leaving the Heavenly Hall and said, "If you wish to see Luo Xi again, then within ten years, break into the Purple Spirit Realm and seek her at the Purple Spirit Divine Mountain.
And the condition to ascend to the Purple Spirit Realm is to undergo tribulations ten times, reaching the Dao Palace Realm."
The Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch transformed into a beam of light and vanished within the Heavenly Hall.
