"What do you mean I have the key to unlock the secrets? I do not know what you are talking about," I said.
If I were the only one experiencing the visions, I might have placed more trust in Patriarch Hu's assertion that I held the key. However, the fact remained that Ma Chen had shared in these visions, leaving me baffled as to how we could both be considered the key.
Was Patriarch Hu misleading me with the claim of my pivotal role? Could he be solely interested in the visions I'd experienced and the location of the tree? While he appeared to know of the tree's existence, it seemed he had not shared in our visions.
I pondered the potential reasons for Ma Chen and me being the sole recipients of these visions. We hailed from different backgrounds, but a common thread linked us: our origin in the same distant province, far from the Central Continent.
Could this shared origin be the underlying reason behind our shared visions?
