713: Chapter 714 The Taiyin Immortal Emperor Returns to His Heart

After Gu Changge finished listening, his gaze lingered on her face for a moment, as if scrutinizing the truthfulness and resolve in her words.

It was also as if he was weighing the feasibility of her proposed plan to use a new body to carry her Origin with a subtle sense.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice calm and unruffled:

"Since that is the case, reshaping the Physical Body is indeed the correct path to resolve the entanglement between you two, and also to help you return to an independent Dao."

Immediately after, he changed the subject, his gaze directed towards a certain spot in the Void Realm, as if piercing through endless space, observing something.

"A Physical Body capable of carrying an Immortal Emperor's Divine Soul, and even retaining the potential for a future Immortal Emperor's Dao path, indeed requires an extraordinary Foundation."

Gu Changge seemed to be muttering to himself, yet also speaking to Yue Liuli.

The next moment, the space three feet above his palm rippled in layers within the Void Realm.

An indescribable aura, holy, ethereal, yet containing the purest life force from the dawn of creation, quietly permeated the air.

This aura was not heavy, yet it made the Dao principles at the peak of Zizhu Peak several shades clearer, as if washed by invisible pure water.

Under the shroud of this aura, Yue Liuli's Divine Soul felt a tranquility and comfort stemming from her life's instinct, as well as a strange premonition that all her Impurities and discord would be cleansed away.

At the center of the ripples, a jade lotus root, about a foot long and flawlessly perfect in form, slowly emerged, suspended above Gu Changge's palm.

This section of jade lotus root emitted a warm, understated milky-white jade luster, with naturally profound patterns on its surface.

These patterns were not static; they slowly flowed within the jade, as if performing a grand Dao Rhyme of purification and Rebirth.

"This item, will it work?"

Gu Changge's voice rang out calmly, holding the world-purifying jade lotus root.

Yue Liuli's Divine Soul trembled violently, and an incredibly dazzling light erupted from her silver eyes, so pure and holy that it made her feel an instinctive awe and dizziness.

She stared intently at the jade lotus root, her lips slightly parted, her Divine Soul fluctuations almost coming to a halt.

With her knowledge and perception as an ancient Immortal Emperor, she actually couldn't recognize what kind of divine object this was!

The power of creation and Origin contained within it was of extreme purity, order, and harmony, as if it could wash away all Acquired Impurities and return to the most perfect, most Dao-aligned Innate state.

Using it to shape a body would create a flawless, naturally Dao-proximate, and infinitely potential perfect immortal physique!

"What... what kind of divine object is this?"

Yue Liuli's voice was dry and hoarse, filled with unbelievable shock.

She suddenly looked up at Gu Changge, her eyes filled with extreme longing, yet also deep hesitation and apprehension:

"This item will work! With it as the core Foundation, supplemented by my Taiyin Origin and secret techniques, the Physical Body created will likely surpass my former Immortal Emperor's physique in potential and Foundation!"

But then, a huge unease enveloped her.

Such a divine object, its value was immeasurable, enough to drive any Immortal Emperor mad, yet Gu Changge just took it out?

"But..." Yue Liuli's voice lowered, tinged with bitterness and awe.

"This item is too precious, so precious that I can't even imagine its cost. Fellow Daoist, I..."

"Cost?" Gu Changge interrupted her, his tone still calm.

But in his deep eyes, it seemed as if the light and shadow of the Universe's creation and destruction flashed by, carrying an unparalleled majesty and indifference.

He didn't directly answer what the cost was, but merely looked at Yue Liuli with his calm yet immensely heavy gaze, slowly saying:

"Yue Liuli, I can give this to you to help you reshape your Physical Body and completely end your entanglement with Ji Qingyi."

He paused slightly, his voice not stern, but every word was like a hammer, striking Yue Liuli's Divine Soul core:

"But, what I can give you, I can also take back."

"My Zizhu Peak acts according to its own Dao. Granting you this opportunity is out of consideration for Ji Qingyi, and also out of a trace of benevolence for your ancient demise. After reshaping your Physical Body, you will be a new Yue Liuli, and your past Karma, your entanglement with Ji Qingyi, will all exist in a new way."

“After reshaping your Physical Body, you will be a new Yue Liuli, and your past Karma, your entanglement with Ji Qingyi, will all exist in a new way.”

"I do not demand you be a slave or servant, nor do I force you to obey my commands. But..."

Gu Changge's gaze suddenly became sharp as a sword, as if it could pierce through all illusions and directly look into the deepest part of Yue Liuli's Divine Soul,

"I do not wish to see, on some future day, you do anything detrimental to Zizhu Peak, or detrimental to Xuanhuang. Your Dao, you can continue to pursue; your revenge, you can seek; your obsessions, you can resolve. But your stance, your fundamental position, you must understand."

“Your Dao, you can continue to pursue; your revenge, you can seek; your obsessions, you can resolve.”

“But your stance, your fundamental position, you must understand.”

He didn't say "otherwise what would happen," but the phrase "what I can give you, I can also take back," and the supreme majesty contained within his calm gaze, made Yue Liuli's Soul tremble more than any threat.

She had no doubt that since Gu Changge could produce such a supreme treasure of creation beyond her comprehension, he absolutely possessed the ability to reclaim or even erase everything.

Yue Liuli's Divine Soul trembled slightly under Gu Changge's gaze, falling into a long silence.

Facing such Heaven-Defying creation, facing what might be her only chance to regain glory and even surpass her past, facing Gu Changge's unfathomable power and benevolence beneath his calm gaze...

Suddenly, she placed her right hand on the core of her Divine Soul in her chest, her beautiful face filled with solemnity and reverence.

"Yue Liuli hereby swears, by her remaining Taiyin Origin, by the Dao path of Rebirth, and by her Divine Soul imprint!"

Her voice was clear and firm, every word causing the Great Dao to faintly hum:

"Having been granted creation and reshaped, this kindness is like a second creation! From this day forward, Yue Liuli's new body and new Dao all originate from the grace of Zizhu Peak. I, Yue Liuli, vow to take Zizhu Peak as my root, to forever protect Zizhu Peak in this life, and not fail this grace of re-creation!"

“I, Yue Liuli, vow to take Zizhu Peak as my root, to forever protect Zizhu Peak in this life, and not fail this grace of re-creation!”

"Should I ever go against this, may my new body collapse, my Divine Soul scatter eternally, and the Taiyin Dao be severed by my hand, never to reincarnate!"

Gu Changge watched her complete the oath silently, without much expression on his face, only his sharp gaze softened slightly.

He nodded slightly: "Remember your words today."

With that, he said no more, and with a casual wave, a gentle and invisible force simultaneously enveloped Yue Liuli's Divine Soul and Ji Qingyi, who was meditating nearby.

Ji Qingyi's body trembled slightly, gently awakened from her deep Cultivation. Before she could open her eyes to ascertain the situation, she and Yue Liuli together felt an indescribably gentle yet irresistible spatial leap around them, and the scene before their eyes had completely changed.

"This is a world."

Gu Changge's voice echoed in this boundless space, calm yet carrying a majesty that made all Daos whisper in response.

"Here, one can act free from all disturbances, directly reaching the true essence."

As his voice fell, he had already placed the world-purifying jade lotus root in the Void Realm.

"With the Origin of this world as the furnace, Chaos as the fuel, Taiyin Dao principles as the guide, and the world-purifying jade lotus root as the Foundation."

As his thoughts stirred, this world came alive.

"Buzz—!"

The world-purifying jade lotus root first burst into brilliant light, its milky-white purifying divine light gently yet firmly enveloping Yue Liuli's Divine Soul.
