Seeing the brocade box, Gu Xu paused for a moment before opening it.
A strand of beads engraved with strange runes appeared before Gu Xu's eyes.
"This is..." Gu Xu looked at the old Taoist in confusion.
"Your master pursued the path of ascension all his life, yet at his end, he couldn't bear to leave you. He instructed me that if you return and still hold onto your beliefs, to give this to you."
"The cycle of karma, illusions and realities, his help to you ends here. The runes on this magic artifact contain his lifetime of cultivation; they can reverse time and allow life to restart."
"However, this magic artifact can only be used once. If it helps you return to the past, you will never remember the karmic ties of these lifetimes, nor your identity as Yun Xuzi. Whether your yearning is fulfilled depends on your destiny with the Jiao Yao. If the heavens do not grant favor, all efforts are in vain."
