The Stellar Space was a tremendously powerful spatial growth-type artifact, considered a cherished treasure of her ancestral family in her previous life. However, Gu Qingluan had never laid eyes on it.
Thousands of years ago, during a great war, the Stellar Space was lost and never resurfaced.
Her father, as the head of the family, invested considerable manpower and resources in the search for the Stellar Space, but they never obtained any relevant information.
Unexpectedly, the Stellar Space appeared in the Cloud Plains Continent!
It was through the Jun family’s storage room that Gu Qingluan arrived here. In her previous life, her ancestral family was known as the “Jun Clan”. Could there be a connection between her current maternal family and the Jun Clan?
Suppressing her astonishment, Gu Qingluan focused her gaze on the little boy before her. “Are you the spirit of the artifact?”
She couldn’t think of anyone else who could disregard spatial rules and appear at will without causing disturbances in the spatial energy, except for an artifact spirit.
Moreover, she couldn’t discern the boy’s cultivation level. It was implausible for a five-year-old child to possess such strength.
“Huh, how did you know…” Heaven Star realized he had let something slip and quickly covered his mouth.
Gu Qingluan pinched his chubby little face. “No need to hide it. Even if you don’t admit it, we both know the truth. Are you making me climb the celestial ladder to test me?”
Heaven Star’s eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment.
“You know that too?”
Gu Qingluan smiled and crossed her arms. “After I ascend, will there be more tests?’
Heaven Star was unsure how to react.
Gu Qingluan continued, “1 understand that only through passing various tests can I leave the Stellar Space, right?”
After a momentary pause, she added, “Of course, if I succeed in these tests, it will also benefit you. Otherwise, there would be no reason for you to constantly urge me to climb the celestial ladder, am I correct?”
Heaven Star slowly turned his back.
He had retreated into his self-enclosed state once again.
Sobbing uncontrollably, Heaven Star wondered if this woman possessed the ability to read minds. How could she have guessed everything accurately? He found her to be a terrifying woman and didn’t want to stay there any longer.
It wasn’t difficult for Gu Qingluan to guess the answers correctly.
Typically, in secret realms or alternate spaces with guardians, there would be similar scenarios.
In her previous life, she often explored various secret realms in the Tianji Continent, so she was very familiar with this pattern.
However, the little artifact spirit seemed deeply affected and appeared pitiful.
Gu Qingluan reflected on whether she had been too abrupt. She had nearly pushed the little artifact spirit to the brink of collapse, forgetting that he was just a child.
Next time, she vowed to be more careful with her approach.
Gently turning the little being’s body around, she said, “Little Heaven Star, perhaps we can find another way that benefits both of us.”
“What way? I came up with this idea after rummaging through a library!” Heaven Star said, feeling disappointed that she had seen through it.
Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. The little artifact spirit was strangely adorable. She playfully ruffled his head and spoke earnestly, “That method is no longer popular. Instead, why don’t you tell me your desires? If I can fulfill your conditions, we can cooperate. If not, we can discuss alternatives. How does that sound?”
Heaven Star looked skeptical. “Are you saying my ideas are outdated?”
‘You can interpret it that way. After all, the books in the library were written many years ago. Times have changed, and methods have evolved. Don’t you agree?’
Heaven Star nodded, showing some understanding. “You have a point. So, what should we do then?”
Gu Qingluan’s lips curled into a smile. “It’s simple. Let’s start by sharing what you want.”
“I… I want to find someone whom I can share a connection with to accompany me and leave this place!’
Gu Qingluan’s eyes brightened with excitement.
If she played her cards right, not only could she successfully leave, but she might also gain access to the Stellar Space.

With a raised eyebrow, Gu Qingluan lightly tapped her pure white fingertips against her dress hem and said, “So, what do you think of me?”
