Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

On Changliu Mountain, sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves and fell on Hua Qiangu and Tang Bao.

"Mother, why does the spiritual vein of Changliu Mountain keep trembling slightly lately?" Tang Bao asked, sitting on Hua Qiangu's shoulder and shaking her little head.

Hua Qiangu frowned slightly. "I'm not quite sure either. Logically speaking, spiritual veins should be relatively stable unless there is any external interference or internal changes."

At this moment, Ni Mantian walked over and said, "Hua Qiangu, can you sense anything unusual about this spiritual vein? I have a feeling that I'm not at ease."

“Ni Mantian, I’ve already noticed. We need to go and discuss this with Master and the others.” Hua Qiangu’s expression was solemn.

In the main hall, Bai Zihua, Dongfang Yuqing, Sha Qianmo and others gathered together.

“Master, the unusual movement of the spiritual veins in Changliu Mountain is probably no small matter,” Hua Qiangu said.

Bai Zihua nodded, "Indeed, the spiritual veins are the foundation of Changliu Mountain. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Dongfang Yuqing pondered for a moment, "Could it be the remnants of the Dark Castle who are secretly plotting? Perhaps they are still resentful after their last defeat."

Sha Qianmo snorted, "If it were those guys, I would definitely not let them off easily! Daring to touch the spiritual veins of Changliu Mountain is simply provoking the wrath of the gods!"

The patriarch shook his head. "I don't think things are that simple. This unusual movement of the spiritual vein seems to carry an ancient and mysterious aura, unlike the methods of those people from the Dark Castle."

"What could it be?" Youruo asked anxiously.

"I don't know either; we need to investigate further," the patriarch said.

Hua Qiangu stood up. "Then I'll go check on the location of the spiritual vein now."

“Xiao Gu, I’ll go with you,” Bai Zihua said.

"I want to go too!" Sha Qianmo shouted.

“Me too!” Ni Mantian retorted, not to be outdone.

When the group arrived at the spiritual vein, they saw that the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations were chaotic and the light flickered erratically.

"This spiritual energy fluctuation is so strong!" Tang Bao exclaimed.

Hua Qiangu closed her eyes and sensed the aura of the spiritual vein. "There seems to be a force struggling inside, or as if it is being suppressed by something."

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past.

"Who?" Sha Qianmo shouted.

The shadowy figure appeared; it turned out to be a mysterious old man.

“You youngsters, don’t meddle in other people’s business! This matter of the spiritual vein is not something you can interfere with,” the old man said.

"Who are you? Why are you here? Are you destroying the spiritual veins?" Ni Mantian questioned.

The old man sneered, "I'm just doing what I should do. A huge secret is hidden deep within this spiritual vein, and once it's revealed, the entire world of immortals and heroes will be thrown into chaos."

"What secret? Explain yourself!" Bai Zihua said.

"Hmph! It's better that you don't know this secret. I advise you to leave now, or don't blame me for being impolite!" the old man threatened.

"We won't leave! We must protect the spiritual veins of Changliu Mountain!" Hua Qiangu said firmly.

"Then don't blame me!" The old man waved his cane, and a powerful force swept towards the crowd.

Sha Qianmo quickly defended himself, "This old man is quite powerful!"

Everyone unleashed their magic and engaged in a fierce battle with the old man.

"Everyone be careful of his cane, it seems to be imbued with special spiritual power!" Dongfang Yuqing shouted.

During the battle, Hua Qiangu noticed that the old man seemed to be intentionally avoiding her attacks.

"Why isn't this old man attacking me? Is there some reason?" Hua Qiangu wondered.

She seized an opportunity to approach the old man and asked, "Why don't you attack me? Do you know me?"

The old man's expression changed. "You silly girl, don't ask so many questions!"

But Hua Qiangu wouldn't give up, "You must know something! Tell me!"

The old man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Never mind, never mind. You possess special spiritual power, which is intricately connected to the secrets deep within this spiritual vein. You shouldn't be here; your existence might disrupt the balance of the entire Xianxia world."

"I don't understand what you're saying! My soul comes from another world, but I am Hua Qiangu now, and all I want to do is protect Changliu Mountain and my friends!" Hua Qiangu said.

The old man sighed, "Do you think you can control your own destiny? Once your secrets are revealed, even more people will come after you, including your friends."

Hua Qiangu was startled. She looked at her companions, who were still fighting bravely against the old man.

"I don't care! I won't leave! I will face everything with my friends!" Hua Qiangu shouted.

Looking into her determined eyes, the old man said, "You stubborn girl. Since that's the case, I won't stop you anymore, but you must remember that everything you do will have unpredictable consequences."

After saying this, the old man disappeared.

The crowd stopped fighting and gathered around.

"Little Bone, what did that old man mean by that?" Tang Bao asked.

“I’m not entirely sure either, but I know we can’t give up protecting the spiritual veins just because of what he said,” Hua Qiangu said.

“That’s right! Whatever the secrets, we’ll face them together!” Sha Qianmo said.

"But what exactly is the secret behind Xiao Gu? Why is it related to the spiritual veins?" Ni Mantian asked in confusion.

“This may require further investigation,” Dongfang Yuqing said.

After returning to Changliu Mountain, Hua Qiangu went to the system space alone.

"Baby, do you feel anything?" Hua Qiangu asked.

A cute little baby flew out from behind a flower and said, "Sister, I think the old man's words are not simple. The secret you have may also be related to the origin of this space."

"The origin of space? I've never thought about that before," Hua Qiangu pondered.

"Sister, you can try looking for some clues in the space. Maybe you can find the answer," the little girl said.

Hua Qiangu began to explore the space. She came to a corner she had never been before, where there was an ancient stone tablet.

There were some strange characters engraved on the stone tablet, which Hua Qiangu could not understand.

"What kind of writing is this? I've never seen it before," Hua Qiangu murmured to herself.

Just then, the patriarch walked in.

“Little Bone, I saw you enter the space, so I followed you in. I think I recognize some of these characters,” the Ancestral Master said.

"Grandmaster, do you recognize it? Then quickly tell me what's written on it!" Hua Qiangu said eagerly.

The patriarch carefully examined the inscription on the stone tablet. "It seems to mention an ancient prophecy, saying that a soul from another world will descend upon the world of immortals and heroes. She will possess the power to change the world, but she will also bring great disaster. Only by unlocking the secrets deep within the spiritual veins can this crisis be averted."

"So I'm that soul from another world? What should I do?" Hua Qiangu was somewhat flustered.

"Little Bone, don't panic. We'll think of a way together. This may be your mission, and it's also our mission. We must protect you while protecting the world of immortals and heroes," the Grandmaster comforted him.

Hua Qiangu nodded. "Grandmaster, thank you. I will face it bravely."

After leaving the space, Hua Qiangu told her friends about it.

"Xiao Gu, no matter what, we support you!" Bai Zihua said.

“Yes! We are family, we share happiness and hardship!” Youruo shouted.

"So what should we do next?" Luo Shiyi asked.

“We should start with the spiritual veins of Changliu Mountain and find out the secrets deep within them,” Hua Qiangu said.

“Alright! Let’s start preparing now!” Sha Qianmo said.

The group began preparing to explore the secrets of the spiritual veins. They collected various magical artifacts and studied historical materials about the veins, while Hua Qiangu continuously cultivated and improved her strength. She knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, but as long as her companions were by her side, she had the courage to face everything. In this process, their friendship deepened, becoming each other's strongest support as they ventured together towards the secrets hidden deep within the spiritual veins. The fate of the entire Xianxia world was quietly intertwined with their actions, awaiting them to write a new chapter.
