125: The Primordial Dao Seal, the Gate of All Stars!

After listening to Gu Qingchen's words, Yue Nanli's expression did not change much.

Her expression remained calm, and a transcendent air permeated her brows.

"Gu Qingchen, I know that your words are merely a test."

Yue Nanli's voice flowed like a clear spring, seemingly able to soothe the heart: "However, I can guarantee with my own existence that Xiao Xianer absolutely does not have such thoughts.

Her Heart-Nature is pure and clear. I watched her walk step by step from the dust to where she is now. Her goal has never been revenge, but transcendence.

She wants to prove herself, to prove that she is not the weakling in the eyes of the Gu Family, but an existence capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with you.

In this marriage contract, she is worthy of you.

Even if the marriage contract is dissolved in the end, it should be her who takes the initiative to tear it up, not the Gu Family retiring it in a humiliating manner."

Gu Qingchen heard this, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Perhaps, but I still stand by those four words: 'the hearts of men are hard to fathom'."

"Then how do you want to resolve this matter?"

Yue Nanli now understood that Gu Qingchen did not disbelieve her words, but rather, he already had a way to handle this matter in his heart.

"It is very simple."

Gu Qingchen spoke: "Let me plant a Grandmist Dao Seal within her Sea of Consciousness.

This Dao Seal will only make it impossible for her to harbor negative emotions like resentment toward me; other than that, there will be no other hidden dangers."

Compared to the unpredictability of human hearts, Gu Qingchen still trusted his own Divine Ability more.

"No."

Yue Nanli shook her head: "Although you say there are no side effects, who knows if it will affect her future?

For a Prodigy aspiring to the Peak, any existence that affects their Heart-Nature will have side effects."

"So that means it is not up for discussion?"

Gu Qingchen raised an eyebrow.

"You can plant that Grandmist Dao Seal on my true spirit, and you can even make me develop unconditional trust in you imperceptibly."

At this moment, Yue Nanli said seriously: "If in the future Xiao Xianer truly wants to act against those around you, then I will intervene to stop her, or even notify you to capture her in secret.

Think about it, if she is truly that kind of person, let her experience the betrayal from the Revered Master she is closest to and trusts the most; would that not be better than your plan?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Yue Nanli's words, Gu Qingchen's eyes lit up.

It must be said that her proposal was very much to his liking.

The most ruthless way to treat an enemy is not to kill them, but to let them be betrayed by the person they are closest to and trust the most.

That kind of despair, that kind of collapse of one's worldview, can completely destroy a person.

"Fine, I accept your suggestion."

Gu Qingchen nodded and agreed: "It is just that I am curious, why would you go to such lengths for her?"

Hearing this, a trace of complexity flashed in Yue Nanli's eyes.

She sighed softly: "I pulled Xiao Xianer out of the mud, but is she not also my redemption?"

If it were not for Ye Qingxian waking her, perhaps it would not have taken long for this wisp of her true spirit to dissipate.

Moreover, after waking up, it was Ye Qingxian's pure and sincere heart that gave her a trace of peace amidst the endless loneliness.

Hearing this, Gu Qingchen nodded.

He did not ask more, just reached out and pointed.

In an instant, a Dao Seal condensed from within the Grandmist Domain and rushed toward Yue Nanli's forehead with a "swish".

"Eh?"

At this moment, Yue Nanli suddenly let out a soft exclamation: "Qingchen, does your Dao Seal also have the effect of repairing the Soul and strengthening the true spirit?"

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Gu Qingchen also raised an eyebrow: "This is also my first time condensing a Dao Seal, so I was unaware it had such an effect. Perhaps it is due to the uniqueness of my Domain?"

"It indeed has this function."

After sensing it carefully, Yue Nanli's face showed a hint of joy: "I did not expect such an unexpected gain."

"Hehe."

To the side, An Zhiyu said with a beaming smile: "This is Karma; sow good causes, reap good fruits."

"Perhaps."

Gu Qingchen nodded: "Shall I remove the illusion covering Ye Qingxian now?"

"No rush."

At this moment, Yue Nanli shook her head instead: "Wait until the gate of stars of this Ancient Star Tomb Secret Realm opens wide, and after you, Qingchen, have gone to the Ancient Star Tomb, let this illusory world dissolve on its own.

That way, I can take everything upon myself, so as to avoid Xiao Xianer having even greater grievances against you, Qingchen."

"Oh my!"

An Zhiyu exclaimed: "Husband, your Dao Seal is amazing. In just this short while, Sister Nanli is already thinking for you."

"Fine."

Gu Qingchen nodded casually.

He looked up and saw that under the impact of three hundred and sixty-five Star River Waterfalls, boundless starlight had already enveloped nearly half of the Bu Tian Mountain Range.

And within this brilliant starlight, it was as if a heart were beating, causing endless tides of starlight.

The starlight flowed and intertwined in the Void Realm, forming a sky-covering star chart Grand Formation.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted, and the entire starry sky trembled.

Within the star chart Grand Formation, rotating star wheels appeared one after another.

On each star wheel, characters from different eras were inscribed.

A mysterious ancient character appeared on the first gate. Gu Qingchen clearly did not know which era or epoch this character belonged to.

But he knew at a glance that it represented "Dao"!

On the second star wheel, "Fate" shone.

On the third star wheel...

One star wheel after another appeared, and mysterious ancient characters condensed, until a "Calamity" character condensed on the final star wheel.

In an instant, the three hundred and sixty-five star wheels vibrated in unison, slowly assembling into an incomparably huge gate of stars!

In the Star River flowing between the gaps of the gate, illusions of the rise and fall of countless civilizations could be vaguely seen.

There was the Supreme Lord of the Nether Ancient Era creating the world, the Immortal-Demon War of the Immortal Epoch, and the Golden Sacred Tree of the lost God Race...

"Is this the opening gate of the Ancient Star Tomb Secret Realm?"

A trace of shock flashed in Gu Qingchen's eyes.

This scene was indeed incomparably magnificent.

Moreover, he faintly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen similar handiwork somewhere before.

This made Gu Qingchen even more certain that the stars above the Myriad Stars Continent were not simple.

"Could this also be the layout of some Supreme Lord?"

Gu Qingchen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a guess in his heart.

Ever since he learned that the Ancient Lords had not completely perished and all existed in the world in some form, waiting for the day of their return, Gu Qingchen felt that whenever he saw a magnificent scene, it seemed like the layout of an Ancient Lord.

"If it is the Myriad Stars Continent, it should be a layout by some Ancient Lord related to stars, and Ye Qingxian is the key to it?"

Gu Qingchen turned his head.

He saw that within the illusion, Ye Qingxian was still endlessly absorbing starlight.

Combined with the abnormalities in her lines of Karma and Reincarnation under the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, he guessed: "Could it be that she is the Reincarnation of that Ancient Lord..."

Seeing the gate of stars completely condensed, Gu Qingchen shook his head: "Forget it, let us enter the Ancient Star Tomb Secret Realm first."

Saying this, he took An Zhiyu and Huang Liner and stepped into the gate of stars in one stride.
