After Ye Li kowtowed three times, a green light rose from under the white bone lotus platform and quickly enveloped the lotus platform.
The white bone lotus platform quickly softened under the green light and turned into a green lotus platform.
The green light on the green lotus platform continued to rise, covering the entire skeleton.
Wrapped in green light, the skeletal corpse gradually took on a human form, but the human form did not look solid, but rather seemed to be a virtual existence created by the light.
Soon, the light of the figure stabilized, and an old man with kind eyes and a warm smile appeared on the lotus platform.
"Senior... Hello, Senior. I am Ye Li, the junior, meeting you."
After seeing the old man, Ye Li did not dare to be negligent and quickly took the initiative to introduce his name.
He thought that the old man in front of him was a soul like Situ Tianya and still possessed intelligence. However, he did not expect that after he gave his name, the other party ignored him.
The old man's shadow smiled in Ye Li's direction and said, "Young man, since you have bowed to me, I will naturally give you the key to the treasure as promised. Please accept it!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the green light on the lotus platform and the green light on his body all began to gather towards the old man's hands.
The lotus platform soon turned back into its skeleton form, and the same thing happened to the old man's body, which soon returned to its previous skeleton form.
After the green light condensed in the old man's hand, a green seed appeared in the palm of the white-boned old man.
The seed in the old man's hand suddenly flashed at a speed invisible to the naked eye and flew into Ye Li's forehead.
Ye Li only felt a heat between his eyebrows, a green light flashed in his eyes, and Ye Li's consciousness was instantly brought into another space.
The old man he had just met was now floating opposite him, still with a kind look on his face, looking in Ye Li's direction.
However, this time, Ye Li no longer regarded the old man as a soul like Situ Tianya, because there was no flash of wisdom in the old man's eyes, and this phantom was also just a preset image.
"I am a later generation. I am an old man from the time of the universe, born not long after the creation of the world.
I have no biological father or mother. I was formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I was born with a gourd, which is a treasure of the innate way. I was born with supernatural powers, and I can travel in the long river of time and peek into the past and the future.
My gourd, named the Cosmic Time Gourd, is a space of its own, and can change the flow rate of time inside it at will. As the saying goes, one day in the world passes, but a thousand days pass in the gourd.
The key to the most precious treasure that I passed on to you is the gourd seed of a gourd. Only the person who holds this gourd seed can use my Zhoushi gourd for his own use.
On that day, I was traveling through time and space, and without paying attention, I was caught in a time vortex and saw the scene tens of millions of years later.
Disasters were happening before my eyes. A giant monster ten thousand feet tall came from outside the domain, devouring and destroying the entire world.
I was so shocked by the scene before my eyes that I forgot to leave for a moment. By the time I reacted and struggled to get back from the vortex of time and space, more than half of my vitality had been consumed, and I only had a few years left to live.
After seeing those scenes of great catastrophes in heaven and earth, a majestic voice came in my heart, and I knew that it was the voice of the Shiyuan Fumu.
Shi Yuan Fu Mu told me that a great disaster would befall the world tens of millions of years later, and she hoped that I could do something about it.
So I buried the Zhoushi Gourd next to the Kunlun Tree in the west, and built a palace here to wait for the arrival of the destined person.
Shi Yuan Fu Mu told me that after my death, it will hide the palace, and will not reveal it until the great catastrophe is approaching. If you, the destined person, have come here now, it only means that the great catastrophe is about to come.
You must make good use of the gourd seeds I gave you, take the Zhoushi Gourd for your own use, use the powerful life force to activate its special space, and gain more time for practice.
However, you must also remember that the time spent in the gourd will also be transferred to your lifespan. That is to say, if you stay in the gourd for ten years, no matter how many years you are in the real world, your lifespan will be reduced by ten years. So you must be careful about the use of the gourd and don't rely on it too much, so as to consume all your lifespan.
In addition, there is a magic talisman in the gourd, called the Universe Time Realm, which is my masterpiece.
Once used, in conjunction with the Cosmic Time Gourd, it can create a Cosmic Time domain around it.
In this realm, the speed of time can be changed at will by the user, making it fast or slow, which will be very useful when used in combat or defense.
Of course, the opponent's body will not necessarily be dominated by the cosmic time field. The stronger the enemy's power, the stronger the resistance to the cosmic time field.
The cosmic time realm consumes a huge amount of your power, so it is best not to use it indiscriminately unless it is a critical moment.
This old man is now almost dead, so I left this message behind to inform future generations of the causes and consequences of everything.
I believe that you, the later generation, must have been the one chosen by the Shi Yuan Fu Mu to be afflicted with the calamity. The great calamity is approaching. I hope you can make good use of the Zhou Shi Gourd that I left for you, and do your best to save the world.
Finally, I would like to remind you that when the Zhou Shi Gourd is activated, it will consume a very large amount of life energy. If you want to use the Zhou Shi Gourd, you must find a place with a large amount of life energy.
The life energy of the Kunlun Wood in the West should be enough for you to use for a while, but after that you must move to another place to use it, otherwise the Zhoushi Gourd will drain your life, and you will age rapidly and turn into a skeleton.
Okay, I won’t say any more nonsense, after all, what you see now is just an image.
Although I have been dead for tens of millions of years when the catastrophe comes, I still sincerely hope that you people can successfully save the world and eliminate the extraterritorial monsters. "
After the old man finished speaking, he smiled in Ye Li's direction, then turned into a stream of light and disappeared into thin air.
"Ye Li... Ye Li... wake up..."
Before Ye Li had time to chew on the old man's words, he heard a call in his ears. He was startled and opened his eyes as if awakened from a dream.
When Ye Li woke up, he was stunned to find himself lying on the ground, and it was Tunri who called him.
"Ye Li, you're awake. What happened just now? Why did you suddenly faint?"
Tunri said to Ye Li.
Ye Li shook his head and said, "It turns out that I fainted. I thought I was taken to an unknown space by the gourd seed."
Looking around, he found that he was indeed lying in front of the white bone lotus pedestal. The skeleton of old man Zhou Shi was still sitting upright on the lotus pedestal.
