Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 663 - 605: Cold Moon
Chapter 663: Chapter 605: Cold Moon
This is a young female cultivator who looks about twenty years old.
Although her entire body is enveloped in a slightly hazy green light, one can still discern her breathtakingly beautiful face.
Her oval face, delicate features as if intricately carved, crystalline long hair draping over her shoulders, slender figure, all bear some resemblance to You Qingyi.
Yet her eyes are imbued with intense coldness, akin to eternal ice.
Even though it’s just a fragment of a soul, it can still bring others an extreme sense of chill.
“How should I address you, Master Han Yue, or…” The black hawk formed by Lou Yi’s divine sense, with its golden eyes gleaming slightly, opened its beak and asked.
“My surname is Gu, first name Qingyue,” the fragmented soul spoke, “You can address me by my full name.”
Her voice, like her appearance, was cold and devoid of much emotion.
Lou Yi was momentarily stunned, not expecting the other party to reveal her personal name.
“Are you here to kill me?” Master Han Yue or Gu Qingyue’s gaze towards Lou Yi changed slightly.
Within it lay vigilance, slight anger, aloofness, and an uncertainty that even Lou Yi could not decipher.
’Am I being too ruthless?’
’Would such a beauty have any ill intentions?’
Sympathy surged in Lou Yi’s heart, and his gaze became somewhat confused.
However, within a few breaths, Lou Yi regained his clarity, his gaze turning sharp again with a hint of coldness.
“Enchanting Heart technique?”
Lou Yi’s heart instantly became highly alert, realizing he had almost fallen for this woman’s trick.
Truly, a Golden Core Master, even if just a fragment of a soul, its power far exceeds ordinary imagination and should be approached with caution to avoid unforeseen pitfalls.
Seeing Lou Yi react so swiftly, Gu Qingyue’s face revealed a trace of surprise.
“No wonder Qingyi favors you, you’re truly extraordinary.”
“You possessed Qingyi, what is your ultimate goal?” Lou Yi guarded his mind, asking coldly.
“Back in the secret realm, I passed on my legacy to her, originally without any further regrets, a fragment of soul about to dissipate into the heavens and earth,” Gu Qingyue’s face showed a reminiscent look, “Unexpectedly, although Qingyi’s physical form isn’t the one-in-a-million Taiyin Body, it aligns sufficiently with my soul to sustain its existence.
Since there’s a chance to live, naturally, I don’t wish to die.”
“So, you intended to seize her during Foundation Establishment and bring her to death?”
“It’s not possession; I’m merely a fragment of soul now and lack the ability for possession…
I originally intended to merge with her.
At that time, she would be me, and I would be her.
She would fully acquire all my memories and cultivation experience, advancing further along the path of cultivation, perhaps even reaching realms I never touched in my past life.”
“At that moment, the true Qingyi would be gone, and you would no longer be yourself, what’s the point?” The hawk formed by Lou Yi shook its head.
“So, to protect her, do you really intend to kill me?” Gu Qingyue gave a cold laugh.
Then, she seemed to come out of her memories: “Initially, I wanted to merge with her, but later discovered she harbors someone deeply within her heart, someone far more important to her than herself.
If I were to merge with her, I would certainly be influenced, unable to free myself from that person in this lifetime.
But as Gu Qingyue, a top Golden Core, how could I fall for a man whose cultivation is far beneath mine?
Moreover, my heart is devoted to the path of enlightenment, never entangled with any man, none are worthy of me.”
“Therefore, I changed my plan, intending to cultivate Qingyi and later seek other opportunities.
You can rest assured, I will only assist her in Foundation Establishment, never attempting to merge with her.”
Having listened to the explanation, Lou Yi remained silent.
He could feel that Master Han Yue or Gu Qingyue’s words held much sincerity.
But he dared not gamble!
For if he lost the gamble, You Qingyi would vanish from this world altogether, the cost simply too great.
He could not afford to gamble, nor would he.
Seeing Lou Yi’s reaction, Gu Qingyue understood his thinking, her expression instantly dimming.
“You don’t trust me?
Indeed, to you, I am merely an unfamiliar cultivator found in ancient texts, possessing the woman you love with questionable intentions.
If I were you, I wouldn’t quite believe it either.”
“However, if you wish to kill me, I will not surrender willingly.” Gu Qingyue’s expression gradually calmed, “I know you are a True Martial Realm martial artist with extraordinary skills, while I am at an unprecedented low.
Yet the power of the Golden Core far surpasses your imagination; after being with her for so long, we are deeply intertwined, even if you manage to kill me, she won’t survive alone.”
Upon hearing this, the hawk formed by Lou Yi’s eyes turned cold: “Are you threatening me?”
“I’m merely telling you, you wish to eliminate threats for Qingyi, I also seek my own path to survival.” Gu Qingyue waved a hand, and countless fine green threads emerged around her.
On the other end of these threads was You Qingyi’s sleeping divine soul, showing Lou Yi she was not lying.
Lou Yi dared not act immediately.
Outside, his physical body instinctively began divination, the signs revealing Qingyi’s fate should Gu Qingyue be killed: extremely ominous.
Now, Lou Yi hesitated further, heightening his vigilance to the utmost, searching his mind for solutions to the predicament.
Suddenly, he found something in his storage bag, and his heart stirred.
In You Qingyi’s consciousness, the black hawk spoke: “There’s not necessarily no other way.
You can first leave Qingyi’s body.
Someday, I’ll find you a suitable physical form, perhaps even refine one.”
It’s rumored that at the level of a Golden Core Master, one can refine a Dharma body, and Lou Yi believed the Profound Light Realm should have similar methods.
“Whether your words are true or not, if I leave her, I’ll soon dissipate into the world,” Gu Qingyue replied.
“That, I have a way.”
After Lou Yi spoke, his external body took out a silver needle magical artifact emitting green light from the storage bag.
The needle was hollow inside, containing a potent blood that stirred emotions.
It was the yin-yang deer demon’s essence blood Lou Yi had seized from an unknown purple-clothed youth in the Yin Sha realm.
That deer demon, an eight-time bloodline-transformed monster, its essence blood is a supreme elixir, capable of consolidating shattered souls and nurturing damaged divine souls.
In You Qingyi’s consciousness, Gu Qingyue could discern the authenticity of this essence blood but still hesitated.
“What if you break your promise?”
“I can swear a dao heart oath that I won’t kill you upon your release,” Lou Yi shook his head, “Besides, once you’re out, why would I kill you? What benefit would it bring me?”
“Also, I’m about to head to Tianyuan.
You probably know much about what’s inside, and I could use a suitable guide.”
“Since you’ve been with Qingyi for so long, you should know I’m not one to break my word.”
Though he was trying to persuade her, Lou Yi still felt uncertain inside, unsure if she would believe.
If the worst happened, he must make a gamble, even if risky.
He couldn’t leave any hidden threat; otherwise, upon returning from Tianyuan, You Qingyi might lose her life.
Gu Qingyue remained silent, saying nothing for a long time.
Just as Lou Yi was preparing for the worst…
“Qingyi, you heard him too.” Gu Qingyue suddenly spoke.
Beside her, the originally sleeping divine soul unexpectedly opened its eyes.
“Master Han Yue… Brother Lou…” You Qingyi hazily felt she was in a dream.
