A top ancient master of qi observation, he was versed in feng shui, geomancy, astrological readings, and geographical surveys. His ability to “observe qi” was no superstition: it was a rare innate gift that let him see “ley-line energy flows,” “star-force trajectories,” and “residual fields of historical information,” combining ancient empirical science with the supernatural. The “modern Earth” Gu Yuan transmigrated to was not the future of the historical timeline he came from, but an anomalous plane where civilization had once suffered a break, geographical history had been altered, and the structure of space and time was unstable. Sacred sites recorded in ancient texts, such as Kunlun and Guixu, had shifted from their positions on modern maps or vanished entirely, while some major historical events in his memories had left no trace in modern records.
