I don't know how long it took, Chu Zexuan woke up in a daze.

At this time, he was lying on a pale blue technical waterbed, his upper body naked, and the warm water flowed slowly between his skin, which was extremely comfortable.

He opened his eyes and struggled to turn his tired body, the black retro walls around him were inlaid with glowing goose warm stones, there were no windows, a faint fragrance wafted in the air, and the silent confined environment made people feel a little oppressive.

"Teacher?" the large room was empty, only echoes echoed for a long time.

He distinctly remembered that the back of his neck suddenly felt like he had been burned with a soldering iron, and then he fainted. For the first time in a foreign place, he felt panic, if there was no teacher, then he really had nothing to rely on here.

Chu Zexuan was about to get out of bed to find a glimmer of hope when the door was pushed open, and a dazzling light came in.

"The little guy has finally woken up, you have been sleeping for three days!" With a hearty laugh, the black old man strode in.

Looking at the teacher's concerned look, Chu Zexuan's nose was sour, and his hanging heart finally let go.

"I thought I had grown up, but I was still just a child. Hei Lao noticed the subtle change in Chu Zexuan's expression, and thought silently in his heart. "I will definitely take care of this little guy before he becomes a real powerhouse!"

"Teacher, why have I been in a coma for so long?" Chu Zexuan had been in a coma for the second time since he came to the Continent of Thoughts, and this feeling was really uncomfortable.

"Maybe your body is not used to the environment here, it is easy to faint after external stimuli, it seems that we have to hurry up and reach the first layer of quenching stage. ”

For Hei Lao's words, Chu Zexuan couldn't agree more, if you want to persevere in cultivation, it is extremely important to have a good body. Just listen to the black old man continue:

"But before we do, we need to find out who left you something. Do you feel and search if there is any information in your mind?" Speaking of this, the black old man slowly picked up Chu Zexuan, who was still lying flat, carefully wiped the water stains on his body, and found a set of clean clothes and put them next to him.

This action gave Chu Zexuan the warmth of family that he had not seen for a long time, he slowly closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, feeling the information left in his mind before passing out.

Chu Zexuan had a vast map of unknown cities in his mind, all kinds of high-rise terrain were displayed clearly in three dimensions, and in the underground part of a building like a hall in the middle, a red dot was flashing constantly, looking as mysterious as a treasure map. But the huge, steady stream of information made Chu Zexuan's mind a little swollen for a while.

"Put your hands on my shoulders, you're not enough to fully accept the hidden message inside!"

When Chu Zexuan heard this, he hurriedly put his hands on Hei Lao's broad shoulders. Seeing a burst of golden light spread to his body along the blood vessels of the excellent selection, Chu Zexuan gradually calmed down, and began to close his eyes and recuperate, allowing the golden power to transmit.

The master and apprentice, who had been in this posture for nearly half an hour, finally announced the completion of the last trace of golden information entering the black elder's body. If someone observes carefully, they will find that Chu Zexuan's originally somewhat gloomy eyes have become a little brighter.

"Teacher, what is this map, and why did it suddenly appear in my head?"

Hei Lao still closed his eyes and thought, the vicissitudes of life on his forehead shrunk tightly and stretched out, and then said with a solemn face: "I sensed this information from you, and as I expected, your parents left you many precious things. And your parents seem to have expected me to be your teacher, and that was what they said to me. ”

"My own parents?" Hearing this, Chu Zexuan felt a storm in his heart for a while. Other children are born as the treasures of their parents, afraid of melting in their mouths, afraid of falling in their hands, and growing up in the safe care of their parents. But this is a luxury for him, he has never even met his own parents, and his only belief is only a doppelganger of his mother, and he doesn't know if his appearance is the same as his body. But in the end, he couldn't even continue to accompany him, so he became a taciturn and unsmiling person compared to his peers.

And after learning about his parents' distress, he chose to forgive them. The world thinks they are crazy, why are they of different ancient races, but they love so much. Instead of enjoying the top-notch bloodline and endless glory and wealth, he betrayed the race and finally became a victim of the Doomsday War. But Chu Zexuan is different, as their son, what he sees is only the courage to love each other across races in that era of power strife, the beauty of starting a family under great pressure, the persistence of wanting to let the child be born despite everything, and the greatness of doing his best to protect his safety. Mother's unhesitating and father's inseparable, this may be the most beautiful love in this troubled world.

"Don't be in a hurry to be moved, little one, the most important thing is that your parents have already sealed your neck when you were a child, but now you have no mana, and you need me to summon it to appear. ”

After that, Hei Lao did not delay, his right hand and two fingers reached the sky, his left hand rotated rapidly, and he also recited words in his mouth. I saw that the afterimage in the gesture gradually materialized, forming a strange handprint at both palms, and finally turned into a transparent crystal and swept towards the back of Chu Zexuan's head.

When the crystal seal melted into the skin, the imaginary sharp pain did not occur, but instead a golden rune slowly emerged from the back of the neck, accompanied by an extremely gentle female voice:

"Xuan'er, I'm my mother. According to your mother's calculations, you must be eighteen years old now, and you have successfully returned to the Continent of Thoughts, and activated the runes with the help of Black Flame. I can't imagine what your father and I will miss after you leave. But there is no other way, for some reason, we may not be reunited until a long time later, so we can only choose to seal it around your neck with special means when you are still a baby. ”

Chu Zexuan listened to this familiar voice, and his eyes were a little moist. He didn't think that his mother's body was no different from his doppelganger's speech, and he hadn't heard his mother's elegant and soft voice for several years. Now he is a man with a blood feud, a burden on his seemingly weak shoulders, very different from the teenager who once abandoned himself because of the death of his mother.

"And because of some things that Mom and Dad did back then, you will have a lot of enemies here, and there will be a lot of people who are willing to help you. But remember, don't rush to us until you have enough strength, the most important thing is to increase your mana. Mom and Dad have prepared the best items you may use at each stage, from the quenching stage to the creation stage. Every time you reach a realm, you will be given a place and a way to remove them in your mind, and the psychic rune on the back of your neck will be missing. Among them, there are extinct martial arts, artifact spirit pill souls, and other best products in this world, so don't show them easily. In fact, after you have been in contact with it for a long time, you will find that this is a magical and vast world, although the dark places will make people feel hopeless, but I believe that you can face them. Finally, I wish my son a smooth path to cultivation, you must know that Mom and Dad will always love you!"

"This was probably the best they could have done at the time, and it was the last clue your parents left for you to find them. After listening to the black old man, he also felt a lot, touched his beard and groaned.

"My son will definitely not let you down!" Chu Zexuan closed his eyes and said silently in his heart, his expression resolute.

"Hei Lao, the disciple still has a little request. The map I passed to you just now feels a bit like Hurricane City, so why don't we look for it now and start cultivating as soon as possible!"

"Haha, little guy, you take care of your body first, and leave this matter to me. Your mother had expected that you did not possess mana at the moment, and the first stage of the treasure hunt entrusted me with this old bone to help you retrieve it. However, in the future, you can only rely on yourself, and you can only rely on the mark if your own strength is reached. This map is indeed the underground somewhere in Hurricane City, but let me remind you first, according to the information left to me by your mother, the treasures in the next few stages are not so good, the location will be distributed in the north and south of the world, maybe it will be guarded by monsters, and it is not as simple as a map, presumably this is also the way for your parents to temper you. That's all you told me. ”

"Then thank you in advance, teacher, of course you have to do these things yourself. Chu Zexuan scratched his head and said with a smile, Hei Lao helped him so much, he didn't know how to thank him for a while.

"You kid, don't give me this set, by the way, I just noticed that the rune mark on the back of your neck is missing one stroke, but there are still eight strokes, it stands to reason that from the forging period to the eight realms of the cultivator, that extra stroke may be the key to solving many puzzles. But there's no point in talking about that now, you can only wait until you break through to the Creation Period. Hei Lao waved his hand and continued to help him analyze.

"Well, now that you know what your parents left for you, you will have a goal in the future, and the boulder in my heart will also fall. During the time I was looking for the relics, Ling Fenghui would teach you some basic knowledge of cultivation, you have to listen to him and stay here and wait for my news. After speaking, Hei Lao touched Chu Zexuan's head and floated away.
