116: Everything is ready! Let's head to the Joyful Union Sect!

The refined blood, formed by the Fusion of hand seals, shot towards Gu Yue's glabella.

Gu Yue's body immediately lit up with a faint golden glow.

As the refined blood slowly integrated into Gu Yue's glabella, the golden glow on her body gradually converged there.

When the light on her glabella also disappeared, a red seal pattern was left on her glabella.

The moment the seal pattern appeared, a unique connection formed between Su Yang and Gu Yue.

Even without intentionally transmitting sounds, if Su Yang wanted to tell her something, it could be conveyed to her from his heart.

Similarly, if Gu Yue wanted to communicate with him, she could also do so directly in her heart.

Without consuming any True Essence.

This special connection could even allow them to more easily transmit power to each other, assisting each other when necessary.

"From now on, I am Revered Master's Spirit Pet~~~ Hehehe~~~"

Gu Yue held a mirror in her hand, looking at the rather beautiful seal pattern on her glabella, and smiled sweetly.

Su Yang smiled, formed another seal, and a subtle spatial ripple appeared in the air.

"Gu Yue, see if you can enter the Spirit Pet Space."

"Okay, Revered Master~"

Gu Yue blinked, threw the mirror aside, transformed back into her original form, and with a light leap, jumped into the spatial ripple.

She vanished in an instant.

The spatial ripple also disappeared with her.

Gu Yue seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"It seems to have succeeded!"

With a thought from Su Yang, the recently vanished Gu Yue reappeared before him.

"It's pitch black inside, not fun at all."

Gu Yue complained as soon as she came out, but then immediately smiled and jumped onto Su Yang's shoulder, "But this way, I can go to the Hehuan Sect with Revered Master."

Su Yang nodded and said, "Since Lin Huanhuan knows you are my Spirit Pet, she probably won't easily let you hide in the Spirit Pet Space and come with me. At that time, transform into a fake body to confuse her outside!"

"Revered Master, don't worry, I understand!"

Being able to go to the Hehuan Sect with Su Yang, Gu Yue was in a great mood.

Su Yang was naturally in a good mood too.

Gu Yue is now a Five-Tailed Great Demon, equivalent to a Mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivator. Having her by his side adds a few more layers of safety for their trip to the Hehuan Sect.

However, it's still not enough!

The Hehuan Sect is, after all, one of the Eight Demonic Path Sects. With just the two of them going, the risk is still too high.

Su Yang turned and left the room.

He arrived at the residences of Grand Elder Xuan Yan and Grand Elder Xuan Jian.

"Revered Master!"

As soon as Su Yang entered the room, both of them bowed in greeting.

Su Yang gestured for them to sit down and, without further ado, told them everything: Lin Huanhuan using the Red Lotus Hidden Soul Curse to escape the battlefield, possessing An Ran to try and take him to the Hehuan Sect to be used as a consumable for the Sect Master's cultivation, and the discovery from Lin Huanhuan's memory that the Hehuan Sect Sect Master possessed an Innate First-Grade Water Spirit Root.

Then Su Yang said, "I just went to see Su Yulan. Her attitude is very clear; she wants to seal my cultivation. So now I have no choice but to go to the Hehuan Sect."

The two Grand Elders did not try to stop him.

Because they clearly understood that Su Yang could not remain locked in his current Realm; a Breakthrough was inevitable.

Since Su Yulan was unwilling to help, the Hehuan Sect Sect Master became the only opportunity.

Grand Elder Xuan Jian thought for a moment and said, "Since we must go to the Hehuan Sect, then Grand Elder Xuan Yan and I will accompany Revered Master. If there is danger, we can also protect Revered Master!"

Su Yang nodded and said, "My purpose in coming to see Revered Master was for this. It's just that Lin Huanhuan requested that I must go alone. So, do both Revered Masters have a way to follow me to the Hehuan Sect without anyone noticing?"

"That's simple!"

Grand Elder Xuan Jian held a sword in his hand, and then spiritual light flashed around him. After the spiritual light converged, a peculiar scene appeared.

A person identical to Grand Elder Xuan Jian walked out from Grand Elder Xuan Jian's body.

This Grand Elder Xuan Jian, who emerged from Grand Elder Xuan Jian's body, stood before Su Yang, holding a treasured sword, and smiled, "The Physical Body will remain here; our Virtual Spirit will go with you."

As he spoke, this Virtual Spirit transformed into a ray of light and merged into the treasured sword.

"Excellent! This way, we can stay by Revered Master's side."

Grand Elder Xuan Yan said, holding a fan of unknown material in his hand. Spiritual light flashed around him, and his Virtual Spirit also emerged from his Physical Body.

He said to Su Yang, "If you encounter danger, just take out these two of our Natal Magical Artifacts, and you can summon us to help Revered Master resolve the danger!"

After speaking, the Virtual Spirit attached itself to the fan.

Looking at the two Magical Artifacts before him, Su Yang's heart stirred slightly.

Grand Elder Xuan Yan and Grand Elder Xuan Jian actually handed over their Natal Magical Artifacts to him. These three old Disciples truly treated him as their Revered Master!?

Su Yang felt a strange mix of emotions, including a touch of gratitude.

He said, "I told Lin Huanhuan we'd leave tomorrow morning. You don't need to be in such a hurry."

Grand Elder Xuan Yan's Physical Body stroked his hair and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the Virtual Spirit has already left the body, so Revered Master can just put us away for now."

Grand Elder Xuan Jian's Physical Body nodded in agreement, "It also saves us from having to do it again tomorrow."

Su Yang thought it made sense, so he put away the two Natal Magical Artifacts into which their Virtual Spirits had merged.

Looking at Grand Elder Xuan Yan and Grand Elder Xuan Jian, who could still communicate normally after their Virtual Spirits had left their bodies, Su Yang curiously asked, "Your Physical Bodies look no different from before?"

Grand Elder Xuan Jian laughed heartily, "We are, after all, in the Body Integration Stage. For a Virtual Spirit to leave the body and act independently, while leaving a trace of Divine Sense in the Physical Body to maintain daily activities, this is just a basic skill."

Su Yang was extremely shocked to hear this.

The Physical Body and Virtual Spirit acting independently, yet still maintaining powerful might.

Is this the Realm of a strong cultivator!?

At this moment, Su Yang had an even stronger desire to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul and advance to a higher Realm.

Regaining his composure.

Su Yang said to the Physical Bodies of Grand Elder Xuan Yan and Grand Elder Xuan Jian, "Since this matter has been resolved, there's no need to wait until tomorrow to go to the Hehuan Sect. I'll go now."

Su Yang then returned to his residence.

He immediately formed hand seals and opened the Spirit Pet Space.

Gu Yue nodded without further ado. First, she cast a Spell, transforming into another five-tailed fox. Her true body then lightly leaped into the Spirit Pet Space.

Su Yang summoned this wisp of Lin Huanhuan's soul.

"Having second thoughts?"

Lin Huanhuan spoke first.

In fact, she was really worried he would regret it.

After all, his pure Primal Yang was truly rare in the world. As long as she could bring him back, he would definitely enable the Sect Master to Breakthrough her shackles and advance to the Void Refining Stage.

Su Yang calmly said, "Why would I regret it if your Sect Master can help me Breakthrough!? I just thought there's no need to rest, and no need to wait until tomorrow morning to depart. Why not leave now, and return sooner."

Lin Huanhuan was eager for him to leave sooner, to avoid any further complications.

So she said, "Since you say so, I naturally have no problem. However, I still say the same thing: only you can come with me to the Hehuan Sect, otherwise I would rather you destroy this wisp of my soul!"

Su Yang was indifferent and said, "Since I promised to go alone, I will go alone!"

As he spoke, he took Gu Yue from his shoulder and placed her on the ground.

Gu Yue worriedly said, "Revered Master, are you really not letting me go with you? The Hehuan Sect is not a benevolent place. I could protect you if I went."

Su Yang said, "I also want to take you, but there's nothing I can do since Hall Revered Master Lin won't allow it. Just wait for me to return here. If the various Sects head back home, then you can return with the Sect Disciples."

"Alright then! Revered Master, you must return safely!"

Gu Yue reluctantly released Lin Huanhuan from the Thousand Needle Prison.

Lin Huanhuan, now free, burrowed into Su Yang's clothes, "Stop being so sentimental. If you're going, go quickly."

Su Yang didn't waste any more words, leaving the Tiangong Pavilion as if taking a leisurely stroll, without attracting too much attention along the way.

Gu Yue in the room completed her task and disappeared with a bang...
