"Who is it, or what power is behind all this?"
Ji Yuan looked at the young man before him and asked with a grave expression.
At this moment, he saw a hint of unshakeable vicissitudes in the youth's eyes.
However, Wu Qingyuan did not answer his question. With a sigh, he said with a heavy face, "You are not yet qualified to know about those existences."
He stated that any great being, after taking that step, would be able to sense the karma in the unseen.
If he were to reveal the beings involved back then, and if Ji Yuan were to hear them, those great beings would surely sense it in their hearts.
"Even from the moment you leave Qianyu City, or even step onto the path of cultivation, you may have already been noticed by certain beings."
Wu Qingyuan spoke.
His words struck Ji Yuan's ears like thunder, echoing in his mind for a long time.
Suddenly, he recalled all the events that had happened in his life, from childhood to the present.
As his cultivation grew and his soul became stronger, he could recall even the events of his infancy with clarity.
In fact, ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, Ji Yuan had doubted more than once why he possessed such profound good fortune.
Not only did he find the Grand Dao Scroll, but also the bronze alchemy furnace in the kitchen.
Even the sword of his grand-master fell from the roof beam and directly smashed into his Purple Mansion.
He could even easily summon supreme treasures refined by great beings and eventually forge them into his own natal flying sword.
If it were just one or two items, it could be attributed to astonishing serendipity and immense fortune. But when a series of extraordinary events happened to him, it became clearly unusual.
"Am I a catalyst?"
A thought flashed through Ji Yuan's mind, and he immediately felt a chill run through his body.
Myriad thoughts swirled, each one enough to send shivers down his spine.
"You are overthinking it."
Wu Qingyuan, as if seeing through his thoughts, smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"All your good fortune comes from yourself, not something imposed upon you by those beings."
He said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and the unease in his heart gradually subsided.
However, he still frowned. If this were the case, how could his profound good fortune be explained?
With this thought, Ji Yuan subconsciously looked up at the young man before him, a daring idea suddenly forming in his mind.
Since the other party had brought up these matters, he clearly had something to tell him, otherwise, he would not have simply reminisced about the past and old friends.
"Do you know your background?"
Indeed, after a long period of contemplation, Wu Qingyuan spoke again.
However, this question stunned Ji Yuan on the spot, and at the same time, he recalled what he had seen and heard in the forbidden area of the Yu clan.
He remembered that the old ancestor of the Yu clan, before sending him to the ancient temple of the Yu clan, had suddenly exclaimed in surprise that his surname was not Ji, and that he even had another name.
This matter had always been on his mind, and he had never mentioned it to anyone, nor had he even asked his master.
Ji Yuan instinctively avoided this matter; if it hadn't been mentioned again, he might not have remembered it.
"This great river was not originally named Fuyuan River; its name was changed after the Xuan Tian lineage suffered a change."
Wu Qingyuan said slowly, "Its original name was Ji Shui."
Ji Shui...
Subconsciously, Ji Yuan looked up, his gaze piercing through the formation that enveloped the water mansion and falling into the dark river water.
"I was originally... surnamed Ji?"
He looked at the young man before him and murmured.
"To be precise, your surname is indeed Ji, but in addition to that, you have another identity."
The true god of Fuyuan River's eyes suddenly flickered with complex light.
No matter how Ji Yuan speculated, he could not discern the meaning contained within these lights.
And the words of the other party were like thunderclaps, constantly exploding and reverberating in his heart.
"What exactly is going on?!"
He quickly pressed for an answer.
However, Wu Qingyuan shook his head. "For now, knowing this is enough for you. Any more would be too much to bear."
Some past events, and even some words, seem light but actually carry unimaginable weight.
If one's cultivation realm is insufficient, it will only provoke retaliation from the unseen and bring great disaster upon oneself.
"When you reach the Golden Core realm, come to the water mansion to find me, and I will tell you everything then."
Wu Qingyuan smiled and patted the young man's shoulders a few times.
Then, as if ignoring Ji Yuan's gaze, he leisurely led him around the water mansion.
"Actually, ever since the upheaval more than three hundred years ago, this water mansion of mine has not been as lively as it once was."
His gaze swept across the surroundings, his tone sounding somewhat melancholic.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan slightly regained his senses and asked in confusion, "Why is that?"
Although he had just learned from the other party that after the Xuan Tian lineage experts fell and their inheritance was almost broken,
This true god of Fuyuan River was also affected. Not only did he lose the attention of the court, but he was also suppressed by many forces, both openly and secretly.
Even in the battle at that time, he was heavily injured by a supreme treasure of the sect while being besieged by three great beings, and it took him nearly a hundred years to recover.
Furthermore, during his hundred years of closed-door healing, the incense and wish power of Fuyuan River were gradually diminished by thirty percent through various means.
Many of the water gods and auxiliary gods under his command were also recruited by some forces and betrayed him, their direct superior.
Now, throughout the entire Fuyuan River, although its status is still the highest among all rivers and lakes in Feiyun County, and Wu Qingyuan's cultivation is the strongest among all water gods,
He is actually no different from a commander without troops.
Not only does he have no subordinates, but he himself has been completely marginalized. Apart from the incense and wish power remaining as usual, even ordinary deities dare not visit him anymore.
"However, in a few more days, things will be different."
Wu Qingyuan seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face.
However, the laughter that emanated from him sounded cold.
"Senior, is someone planning to cause trouble on your birthday?"
Ji Yuan asked.
After a brief moment of losing composure, he finally regained his composure. Although still full of doubts, he was no longer fixated on them.
Since the other party had said that he would only learn all the truth and past events after reaching the Golden Core realm,
Then no matter how much he worried now, it would be in vain. It would be better to let it go for now and focus on other matters.
After all, both his main body and his avatar already had a cultivation realm of the third stage, so achieving this was not difficult at all.
