Chapter 1634
Seeing that the silkworm cocoon in his arms, radiating divine light, was responding to him, Gu Ying could no longer hold back his tears, which rolled down and dripped onto the glowing surface of the cocoon, spreading out in circles of tiny ripples: "Junior sister, even if you only have a wisp of your soul left, you can still recognize your senior brother, right?"
The cocoon trembled slightly, as if nodding silently. Gu Ying hurriedly wiped away his tears, remembering his master Chen Xuan's words, and a choked smile appeared on his lips: "The sect is gone. I have changed my surname to Gu and my given name to Ying." He reached out, his fingertips gently stroking the warm cocoon, his voice as soft as the wind in a mountain stream.
"Your survival in this life is entirely due to the blessing bestowed upon you by your master. When you are born, you will take your master's surname, Chen, and be named Chen Yingying, okay?"
The cocoon immediately began to tremble joyfully, and the rosy light shone even more brilliantly, as if it were joyfully making a promise.
As Gu Ying watched this scene, the bitterness that had been building up in his heart for many years finally turned into a warm current. Although his eyes were red, he smiled as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
In fact, Chen Xuan did not know that although Chen Yingying's remnant soul only had one-tenth of its memories left, most of them were fragments about Gu Ying.
Back then, she was just a little beggar in the mortal world, her parents had died early, and she wandered the streets alone, where she was beaten and cursed by everyone she met.
Before being selected into the sect, she thought the world was filled with indifference—until she met Gu Ying, who was also a vessel. He brought her back to the sect and silently stood in front of her when she was bullied and beaten by others.
After joining the sect, the pain of being used as a testing ground for poisons and the scolding from her senior sister during poison tests gradually faded away with his silent protection time and time again. Her body, mind, and soul had already unconsciously drawn towards him. So even with only a wisp of her soul remaining, she could clearly sense his familiar aura through the cocoon and respond gently.
After leaving the Zhengyi Sect, Chen Xuan used his divine sense to scan the mountains for tens of thousands of miles like a searchlight, and soon found a place blessed with beautiful scenery.
This place is surrounded by mountains, and a long river from the west meanders around the mountains, forming a "jade belt around the waist" pattern in the mountain valley. Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so rich that it almost solidifies into a tangible substance, making it a treasure land for cultivation where wind and energy gather.
"This place is excellent." Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction and summoned the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion. An ancient palace slowly descended from the void, its glazed tiles shimmering in the sunlight, and the wind chimes hanging under the eaves tinkled, blending with the sound of the pine trees in the mountains.
"Kid, I told you before, the Ninefold Immortal Qi is divided into three stages." The little tower's voice rang in my mind, with a hint of solemnity. "You insist on taking the path of completely opposing attributes. The first two are already incompatible, and now you want to use the golden light of merit to cultivate the third one. The repulsion will only be stronger."
Xiao Ta paused for a moment, then added, "However, the benefits are also great—once it's done, the third and fifth stages will actually be much easier."
"So, does that mean I might be able to cultivate all nine strands of immortal energy before I undergo my tribulation?" Chen Xuan felt a surge of anticipation.
"Naive!" The little tower scoffed. "My master spent billions of years cultivating his origin and only managed to cultivate seven paths. Do you know that when you try to cultivate the sixth path of immortal energy, the first five paths will desperately try to block you? Breaking through to the second stage of the sixth path of immortal energy is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
The little tower's tone grew heavier. "It's not that my master lacked talent and perseverance; it's that the alien creatures suddenly attacked back then, giving him simply not enough time. If he had survived until now, he would probably have already reached the level of an emperor."
Chen Xuan nodded solemnly and stepped into the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion: "Little Tower, I want to use your abilities to research the cultivation of merit and immortal energy."
"Hmph, all you know is how to squander. How much dual-attribute innate spiritual liquid do you have enough to make?" The little tower complained, but its figure had already transformed into a stream of light and flew out from between Chen Xuan's eyebrows. It suddenly enlarged in the center of the hall, and the runes covering the tower body lit up with a soft light. "Nine times the time flow rate, is that enough? A hundred times the flow rate is too wasteful of creation spiritual liquid. Unless you are breaking through a major realm, there is no need to be so extravagant."
