Chapter 392: Chapter 389 Incarnation
"Bai Ze Palace..."
This vast Spirit Realm Life pondered slowly, as if awakening from oblivion: "Presiding over the descent ritual... Which time is this?"
"Your Majesty, it’s the twentieth time."
"Oh, yes, the twentieth time."
The "memory" of the Aries Star Lord seemed to gradually become complete, he even looked down at Gu Jinlai, and although his face still showed no expression, a sense of satisfaction radiated from his spirit: "This Dao Mark, however, is not bad, it may become my incarnation, allowing me to truly walk in the real world."
As he spoke, this ancient being that had left countless inheritances, including the Grand Sun Nine Refinement Visualization Method, and should have existed a thousand years ago, moved slightly, pouring a portion of his spirit into Gu Jinlai’s body.
"Crack!"
His already cracked True Spirit immediately crumbled under the burden.
But before he could make use of Qingguang for recovery at the first opportunity, the Aries Star Lord’s thoughts and consciousness had already surged into the broken True Spirit, rapidly repairing it.
"From now on, this will be my True Spirit, and it must not be damaged."
The Aries Star Lord said indifferently, his thoughts and consciousness mixed with immense spiritual power, not only repairing the True Spirit but also continuously scouring Gu Jinlai’s consciousness.
Gu Jinlai realized that once his consciousness in the True Spirit was completely cleansed, the Aries Star Lord would use the True Spirit to reverse influence his soul, until he was completely transformed, from body to soul, into his incarnation that walks the Earth.
From Gu Jinlai, to...
The Aries Star Lord.
"Block it! I must block it!"
Without any hesitation, Gu Jinlai ignited the True Spirit Power, and the defensive secret technique, Wall of Nihility, swiftly took form.
Instantly, it was as if a vacuum of thought and will had formed around his True Spirit, trapping within it the spiritual power that the Aries Star Lord had washed down.
"Is it effective? My spiritual power is hundreds of times stronger than yours."
The Aries Star Lord’s facial expression remained unchanged as he poured down vast amounts of spiritual energy, about to break through the Wall of Nihility in an instant.
But just as the Wall of Nihility was about to be breached, another new Wall of Nihility quickly formed, continuing to block the spiritual descent of the Aries Star Lord.
"Meaningless."
The Aries Star Lord seemed too lazy to waste more time with Gu Jinlai, as a tsunami of powerful spiritual waves came rolling in, completely shattering the newly formed Wall of Nihility.
Yet, before this surge of spiritual tsunami, mixed with thoughts and consciousness, could further strike the True Spirit, the third Wall of Nihility rapidly emerged.
And then...
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth...
After the tenth Wall of Nihility was destroyed, the spiritual power of the Aries Star Lord seemed to stagnate momentarily.
"Has the Heavenly Master Civilization developed to such an extent now?"
He asked, somewhat surprised.
"The Heavenly Monarch System has not seen much development compared to a thousand years ago, it’s potential! His potential is amazingly surprising!"
Yu Xin, the woman, exclaimed.
She looked at Gu Jinlai...
If it wasn’t for the disruption in the Spirit Realm caused by the descent of the Aries Star Lord, so intense that even the True Spirit Crystalization of the Heavenly Monarchs couldn’t resist, she might have personally descended to help the Aries Star Lord.
"Potential? I like young people with potential."
The Aries Star Lord said indifferently: "Then let’s see, how long your potential can sustain you."
Gu Jinlai did not speak.
At this moment, he was simultaneously creating numerous Walls of Nihility with Qingguang for defense, and using "Perception" to comb through the memory-laden spiritual fluctuations of the Aries Star Lord, in search of any information beneficial to himself from the establishment of Qingyang Valley and everything else.
For others, to search for such information within those spiritual fluctuations mixed with scattered memories would be like a fool’s errand.
But Gu Jinlai was different.
Through Perception, he scanned these memory images within the spiritual fluctuations at an exceedingly fast rate, then unhesitatingly infused a stream of Qingguang into the small figure seated atop Qing Lian.
The next moment, his cognitive processing soared to an unprecedented extreme.
Countless images flickered frenetically, and amidst them, he "saw" a middle-aged man in a white robe, carrying three Divine Weapons, appearing outside Qingyang Valley.
Through the Aries Star Lord’s memory, it was as though he were there in person.
"This location happens to be overlapped by both the Human World and the Demon Realm; with only slight arrangements, it can fall into the interlayer of both worlds. Not only can it be connected through any mobile Star Gate, but it can also be concealed from the perception of any creature."
The man in the white robe explained.
Behind him stood Heavenly Monarchs, cultivators, and...
Giant divine weapons akin to colossal Iron Puppets.
In the far distance, one could faintly see several Heavenly Dragons, spanning hundreds to thousands of meters, coiling around.
Among them was undoubtedly the figure of ’Mu.’
After this image appeared, guided by Qingguang, the entire Qingyang Valley was rapidly constructed from a barren valley into a shelter. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
There were two cores to the construction.
One was the Heavenly Spirit Tower that maintained the existence of the interlayer world of Qingyang Valley.
That is, the triangular spire-shaped tower.
The other...
Was the Eternal Life Altar that Gu Jinlai was on.
This Eternal Life Altar itself was a massive Dao Mark.
It was capable of guiding the lost Aries Star Lord back from the Star Realm and also responsible for forming the connection to the Aries Star Palace’s Star Gate.
Gu Jinlai continued to search for a lifeline, his thoughts amplifying at extreme speed with the aid of Qingguang.
Finally, a Spirit Light burst forth from the depths of his mind.
"Master, we’re short on the number of Spiritual Guide Crystals. With the current situation outside being extremely perilous, if we continue to collect... it’s easy for others to set their sights on us."
A Heavenly Monarch’s voice presented itself in the form of memories within Gu Jinlai’s mind.
"No matter."
The middle-aged man in white...
That is, the Aries Star Lord, responded calmly, "Use the Spirit Guiding Jade instead. The effect is more or less the same; it’s just that the Spirit Guiding Jade has a shorter lifespan. But I set up the Eternal Life Altar merely as a precaution. It’s likely unnecessary, and even if it is needed, it won’t be for eight hundred years."
Immediately after, the core function of the Spirit Guiding Jade circulated in his mind, flickering.
The linkage of the Star Gate.
Even if he retreated into the Star Gate now, he would surely face the combined suppression of Zi Yang and Heavenly Dragon Wood, only to be sent back to Qingyang Valley.
But if he could disturb the Star Gate’s guiding link...
Make the Star Gate link to another direction...
In Gu Jinlai’s eyes, a path to survival suddenly unfolded.
"Spirit Guiding Jade!"
Next moment, leveraging the Soul Secret Technique of Cultivation Perfection—Burning Heart, Gu Jinlai released and unleashed it within his True Spirit.
His True Spirit seemed to enter a burning state, its spiritual radiance shining to the extreme.
With this boiling spiritual energy, the Great Sun he visualized concentrated into a terrifying energy pillar.
Eternal Heavenly Curse!
This was a powerful Soul Secret Technique that could slaughter Spirit Venerable Level Demon Spirits in just a few rounds!
Under the bombardment of this column of light, the binding force of the Eternal Life Altar was torn apart in one fell swoop.
The moment he regained his freedom, Gu Jinlai lunged forward, rushing toward the location of the Star Gate.
"Seal."
The Aries Star Lord uttered the word indifferently.
"Boom!"
A starlight so intense it was unbearable to look at cascaded down from the Spirit Realm, annihilating the Wall of Nihility’s defenses, and without losing momentum, tore through Gu Jinlai’s True Spirit.
But in that instant, when his True Spirit was being torn apart, the Qingguang pillar.
The True Spirit, on the verge of annihilation, was forcibly reconstituted.
The agony of the True Spirit being torn and self-healing made Gu Jinlai let out a roar of anger. Deploying the Great Sun True Demon Body, he grew to a height of ten meters, transforming into an imposing giant.
Subsequently, the power of the Eternal Furnace within him was released and vented. Even just a portion of it, as he stamped on the ground, caused the entire Eternal Life Altar to sound like it was barraged by countless shells, making a "rumble" noise.
Before the shockwave could dissipate, layers of flowing light spilled ceaselessly from the Eternal Life Altar, like chains made of luminescence, firmly securing the altar’s form.
Gu Jinlai’s kick, powerful enough to topple city walls, failed to inflict any damage on the altar.
"You wish to destroy the Eternal Life Altar? Wait until you control the power of the Dao to say such things," Yu Xin, the Palace Master of Bai Ze Palace, said with a cold laugh.
However, just as she finished speaking, the light at a certain spot on the Eternal Life Altar began to blink erratically.
Concurring with Gu Jinlai’s next stomp, that flickering light abruptly went out.
This scene caused the cold smile on Yu Xin’s face to freeze on the spot.
Seizing this opportunity, Gu Jinlai let out a long howl.
"Open!"
With an outburst of power, his entire being, wrapped in Eternal Divine Light and Great Sun Eternal Radiance, charged straight for the Star Gate.
At this moment, due to the Spirit Guiding Jade of the Eternal Life Altar being damaged, the Star Gate had become very unstable.
But Gu Jinlai couldn’t care less; he rushed towards the Star Gate as fast as he could.
If he was lucky entering the unstable Star Gate, he might be flung back to the Human World through some other Demon Realm Rift.
If unlucky, he could end up stranded in the Demon Realm, where endless Demon Spirits would smell his True Spirit Aura and devour him completely.
But either possibility was better than staying in Qingyang Valley, facing a creator descending from the Spirit Realm.
"Quite the lucky little fellow."
The Aries Star Lord seemed to see something.
Gu Jinlai actually spotted some flaws in the Eternal Life Altar from the memories mixed in with the spirituality, and took advantage of them?
Yet...
"Would it not be better to become my incarnation walking the Earth, why resist?"
As the Aries Star Lord witnessed this, his colossal form shifted slightly, part of his body transforming directly into a stroke of spiritual energy, which pierced through the Void and infiltrated Gu Jinlai’s True Spirit.
Compared to the previous spiritual fluctuations...
This strand of spiritual energy was vastly stronger.
It was like a seed, lodged within the region of true emptiness formed by the Wall of Nihility in Gu Jinlai, withstanding all assaults of his spiritual energy, ever unyielding.
However, at this moment, Gu Jinlai couldn’t afford to pay attention to this spiritual energy.
Without any hesitation, his figure surged into the Star Realm Gate.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
Intense spatial fluctuations burst from the unstable Star Gate.
As his surroundings became a blur, he faintly heard the Aries Star Lord’s indifferent spiritual message from behind, "From the moment my gaze fell upon you, your life was predetermined. As long as your True Spirit exists, you can never escape my perception."
