It was a deeply moving lecture, with many disciples experiencing insights and breakthroughs on the spot. The lecture lasted three days. Seven days after its conclusion, the competition began. Almost every disciple of this generation participated, with Gu Can absent. But he watched the competition with unwavering enthusiasm.

"Hello, senior." After Gu Can and his friends finished watching the game that day, two distinguished guests came to the yard.

"You're back. Was the game exciting? I didn't see you guys going up to compete." Han Hao asked first.

"Swords and knives have no eyes, so just take a look." Gu Can replied while taking out tables and chairs and setting out tea to entertain the two seniors.

"You little girl, you're not afraid of pain, are you?" Han Hao picked up the teacup and took a big gulp.

"What you said is true. If I were not afraid of pain, I wouldn't be so afraid of it!" Gu Can returned

“???” Han Hao looked at him with a puzzled look. It was his first time encountering the attack of nonsense literature and he was obviously not used to it.

"Hahaha, young man, your words are really interesting." Ye Hui was also stunned for a moment, and then he just felt it was interesting after he reacted.

"I came here to thank you for your help that day." Ye Hui didn't wait for Han Hao to make a joke.

"Senior, you're too polite. Could you please explain to us what that thing was?" Gu Can was genuinely curious. Chu Yan and the others were also curious.

"Do you really want to know?" Ye Hui hesitated.

"Please tell me, senior." Several people said at the same time.

"Well, this is not complicated to explain. To put it simply, it means defying fate." Ye Hui said a word that was quite unfamiliar to Gu Can.

"What is this? I think you can elaborate on it." Gu Can took it seriously.

"Oh, okay, let me elaborate." Ye Hui felt that Gu Can's words were always very interesting.

"The Four Symbols Continent is a newly born world. Everything should be thriving and operating normally. This is why the cultivation world currently has abundant resources and many high-level cultivators. However, not long after the birth of the Heavenly Dao, the rules of the world suffered a severe blow. The fate of everyone, including the Heavenly Dao, was severed, just as the righteous path and the evil path rise and fall."

"The same is true of fate. Originally, there was spiritual energy, righteous energy, and pure energy in the universe, and there were corresponding demonic energy, resentful energy, and foul energy. When fate cannot function normally, then the opposite phenomenon arises, which is against fate. This is different from us cultivators who practice against fate and follow it. This kind of against fate will deprive all those destined to have great fortune, and thus take away the authority of heaven. What exactly is it? It can be resentful energy, demonic energy, or dead energy. As long as it can interfere with the fate of those with great fortune and take away their fortune, it can also take away a portion of the authority of heaven."

"Is that so? Could it be that something went wrong when this world was first created, and the so-called heavy damage came from this rebellion against fate?" Gu Can asked.

"Why do you think so?" Ye Hui looked at Gu Can and asked calmly.

"The righteous path and the evil path have always been born at the same time. Similarly, the destiny and rebellion of each world are born at the same time. It's just that the destiny of the normal world is stronger, but the rebellion of this world was born when rebellion was even stronger. So the so-called destiny was cut off only because people with great luck like you and Yanyan have had their luck sucked away by rebellion, making their destiny weaker, and the authority of the Heavenly Dao also appeared to be fragmented." Gu Can certainly would not say that he made this guess after looking at the world settings and the situation of Ye Qingyan and his halo.

"Maybe, but you are very special. So far, you are the only one who can see the existence of defying fate." Ye Hui did not continue.

"No, the world has never had a real savior. Everyone can only save themselves. Otherwise, with the strength of the predecessors, I can't deal with it today." Whenever the words "special and only" appear, she must refuse the request in time. She is not a savior and will not be a savior. No matter how long she has lived and how much she has done, her original intention was just to be with her parents.

"You're so cunning. Well, here, take these and play with them." Ye Hui threw a ring to Gu Can.

"Eh? This ring looks so familiar." Gu Can thought about it and took out the ring of Yaya from the space.

"This is a storage ring, a token of the royal family of the Changyue Dynasty, and also the key to entering the Changyue Secret Realm. You are so lucky." Ye Hui smiled. This luck is really unparalleled.

"This thing is not given voluntarily by the owner, so it cannot be taken. It will be destroyed if the owner kills it." Ye Hui then talked about the characteristics of this ring.

"So amazing! I have to keep it for Yaya. This kid dares to give away anything." Gu Can immediately took Yaya's coin back. Chu Yan and the others looked at him amused. Gu Can was just like that. He never took those things for granted as his own. He insisted that the child didn't understand the meaning of the things he gave away.

After a few more days, they set off for the Linyuan Secret Realm. It wasn't far from Mingyi Sect, and given Gu Can's aversion to teleportation arrays, they decided to take a spirit boat! Seven days later, they arrived at the entrance to the Linyuan Secret Realm. Before it opened, the four of them found an open space and set up camp.

After waiting for two days, the secret realm finally opened. This was a small secret realm managed by Mingyi Sect, and the number of places had been reserved. They just had to line up with the token and enter.

"Wow" Gu Can felt dizzy for a moment after coming out of the light gate.

"Big Brother? Second Brother? Yanyan? What? They're all separated. Yay! This legendary secret realm, a must-have in cultivation novels." Gu Can was now filled with excitement as he set out to explore the secret realm. This realm had existed for a thousand years, opening once every fifty years and accessible only to those in the Golden Core stage. Gu Can wasn't worried about Chu Yan and the others' abilities, so he wasn't in a rush to find them.

Gu Can observed and found that her current location should be in the medicine garden.

"This is like a pie falling on my head." Gu Can was so happy looking at those high-grade and high-year-old medicinal herbs.

"Hmph."

"What is that?" Gu Can was about to go pick some herbs when he heard a strange sound. He immediately took out his magic sword and became alert. He saw the herbs swaying, and soon a small pink figure was getting closer.

"Oh wow, Peppa with wings!" This little pig is so adorable! It's only about 30 centimeters long, chubby, and has a pair of heart-shaped wings. Its little eyes are rolling around, making it look incredibly lively.

"Hey, is this medicine garden yours?" Gu Can asked.

"Yes, do you want it?" Talking pink Peppa with wings!

"I came to the secret realm for the trial, so of course I want it. What about you? What are you?" Gu Can was really curious.

"I am the spirit of this secret realm." The little thing was completely unprepared.

"Jing Ling, you just told me this, so you should be more careful." Sincerity is indeed the best killer move.

"Why are you here? The secret realm is now open and many people have come in." Gu Can looked at the innocent little thing and said worriedly.

"I know, I'm just waiting for someone."

"????"

"The old master told me to find a new master. I am waiting for my new master."

"..."

"Then you'd better be careful. Once others know your identity, they will try to catch you. I'm leaving now." Gu Can was speechless by this little thing. It was a bit too frank.

"You won't make a contract with me?" The little thing's eyes were full of confusion.

"Me? You won't tell me that I am the new master you have chosen." Gu Can couldn't believe that such a big pie would fall on his head.

"Yes, it should have been another girl, but I think you would be more comfortable." What a lewd thing to say!

"Isn't it so casual?" Gu Can didn't understand?

"Don't you want me?" The little thing started crying.

"..."

"No, didn't your old master tell you what the new master will be like? It's up to you to choose. I'm completely confused about this secret realm now. You must be of unknown origin, so I dare not make a contract with you casually." Gu Can was also speechless.

"This secret realm is a fragment of the Linyuan World. After being refined by the old master, I was born. Later, the old master placed his inheritance in this secret realm and asked me to choose a new master to inherit his mantle. I fell asleep when I came to this world and just woke up."

"No wonder." She herself was a simple-minded novice, and this little thing was even dumber.

"Come here." Gu Can beckoned, and the little creature came to her. Gu Can picked it up, and it obediently stopped struggling. Gu Can placed her hand between its eyebrows to activate the mountain god's divine sense. She usually didn't use this cheat, but it would be a waste not to eat such a big pie. Surrounded by an inexplicable aura, the little creature felt very comfortable and rubbed Gu Can's palm.

Gu Can felt the purity and the breath of time and space in the little thing. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, ready to make a contract.

Gu Can drew an ancient contract formation. Gu Can and the little thing each forced out a drop of blood and a wisp of soul, placing them within the formation. Of course, a soul contract was needed to take the creature away. As white light illuminated, the formation disappeared between Gu Can and the little thing's brows. The contract was sealed!

"Master!" The little thing was very happy.

"Call me Cancan. What's your name?" Gu Can asked while holding the little thing.

"I don't have a name..." The little thing was quite sad.

"Then I'll give you a name. How about calling you Tuantuan? It's my last name, so let's call you Gu Tuantuan." Gu Can liked this name very much.

"Tuantuan? Okay, I like this name." Tuantuan was very happy.

"Well, then I can control the secret realm now?" Gu Can said.

"Yes, Cancan, do you want to drive those people out?" Tuantuan asked.

"No, I'll make a fortune quietly. It'll only take a month anyway. I'll take you away quietly after the secret realm closes normally. Let's go, I'll find a place where I can practice in peace." Gu Can said.

"Okay, Cancan, come with me." Tuantuan took Gu Can to a valley. There was a gurgling stream in the valley, and flowers were fragrant and butterflies were all around. It was beautiful and full of spiritual energy. It was a place that only the owner of the secret realm could reach. There was no road leading to here.

Gu Can liked it very much, so he even set up a barrier and found an open space to build a portable bamboo house. He also prepared a bedroom for Tuan Tuan, who loved it very much. However, he still liked the little nest in Gu Can's bedroom the most, covered with a pink quilt, and slept soundly.

Apart from practicing, Gu Can also paid attention to the safety of Chu Yan and the others. A month passed quickly.

"Cancan!" Xiao Ming ran over as soon as he saw Gu Can.

"Second senior brother." Gu Can let Xiao Ming pull her and look her over.

"I'm fine, I'm doing fine." Gu Can said with a smile. She was so lucky, she picked up such a big secret realm for free, how could it be good?

"That's good." Xiao Ming was relieved to see that Gu Can was indeed alright and had made some progress in his cultivation. After reuniting with Chu Yan and Ye Qingyan, the four siblings left. They had already decided to travel a bit before returning, and the four of them didn't have a specific itinerary. When they heard at the inn that Baihua City was holding a Baihua Fairy Festival to select the Baihua Fairy, they unanimously decided to join in the fun.

The Baihua City's Baihua Festival also has a long history. Baihua City has a flower called the Night Udumbara, which can only be grown in Baihua City. It blooms only at dawn on a moonlit night and lasts for the duration of an incense stick.

The flower dew of the nightshade has the effect of clearing the mind, soothing the spirit and restraining the inner demons, so a flower festival is held every year at this time. The flower fairy selects one man and one woman, and the reward is the flower dew of the nightshade. Even if there are only ten drops, it is a rare treasure.

Baihua City also boasts a wealth of unique delicacies. Eating flower-made cakes, drinking nectar, and drinking wine made from flowers are all extremely elegant experiences. The Flower Fairy doesn't rely on cultivation, but rather on appearance and talent. This is why so many people flock to the city every year. Everyone loves beauty; even gods love to be pretty, let alone non-fairies.

"This is Baihua City. It's really lively." This was Ye Qingyan's first time in Baihua City. It was the time when the Baihua Festival was being held, and there was a constant stream of people coming and going.

"Strange, this Baihua City feels so uncomfortable." Although the sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and there are people coming and going in Baihua City, it is a bustling scene, but Gu Can feels cold in his heart and has an ominous premonition.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yan asked worriedly.

"Nothing, let's go. I've been wanting to try the famous Baihua snacks for a long time." Gu Can said as he walked towards the city. He first looked for an inn to stay in, but most of them were full. The Baihua Festival lived up to its reputation.

"Hahaha, I guessed you guys were coming."

"Senior." The four were hit by Man Ke again, and then they heard a familiar laugh. When they looked up, they saw that the person standing upstairs was Han Hao, and next to him was Ye Hui.

"Come up, I've booked a room for you." Han Hao waved. Gu Can didn't hesitate and ran upstairs.

"Why are you here, senior?" Gu Can asked after walking forward and paying his respects.

"Baihua City is the most lively at this time of year. There will be an auction after the Baihua Festival this year. This is the auction of the Treasure House. The Treasure House has branches in the Four Symbols Continent, and the items sold are all-encompassing. The items sold in the Treasure House auction are even more precious. Many powerful people have come this time, so you guys just stay with us and don't run around." Han Hao said, and he glanced at Gu Can.

"Senior, I'm very obedient." Gu Can was speechless. Why did she have the image of being unreliable? She was not like the heroine who had an accident-prone constitution. She was the kind of person who could be easily struck by disaster even when she was at home.

Han Hao and Ye Hui had already ordered a table full of Baihua City's must-try dishes, so Gu Can naturally grabbed every bite he could. They'd say the tourism industry was doing well, and this internet-famous food truly lived up to its reputation. Gu Can ate his fill. The next day, the Baihua Fairy Competition began. It's no secret that the world of cultivation is already filled with handsome men and beautiful women, and the contestants in this Baihua Fairy Competition are the very best of the best.
