Above all spirits

Chapter 224 A Temporary Return

"As expected, he ultimately chose the same blessing as his father."

"But this is the first time I've seen a blessing allow someone to cross the threshold of the Holy Body. Gu Yun, what did you do?"

After Gu Yun and his two companions left the palace, Ye Ying'er said leisurely.

Gu Yun felt there was nothing to hide; it was simply a process of turning a reasonable idea into reality, he explained.

"It's a shortcut, but it will undoubtedly cause instability in the foundation afterwards."

"He still needs to hone his skills and solidify his abilities."

"This method can only be applied to the sixth level of the Overlord Body. The evolution from human to demon is an elevation of the physical body. In addition, the spiritual threshold directly catalyzes the demon seed, introduces the inner demon, and merges with the inner demon to finally form the Heavenly Demon Mark. This process almost forcibly achieves the two standards of the Holy Body."

"As for the final soul, the cultivation of the soul is undoubtedly the first of the three standards to be completed. Even if it is not completed, there is still a certain progress. In the process of forcibly raising the level, the gap can be filled with soul crystals. Entering sainthood is not a difficult thing."

"Doing this will leave my Holy Body's strength somewhat depleted, but it is still a Holy Body, which is definitely more powerful than a Tyrant Body. It's really unreasonable for an emperor of a country not to have a Holy Body. Let's stabilize it afterward."

Ye Ying'er nodded admiringly.

"You really know how to play this game."

"Shall we go back to Crimson Flame Star now?"

Gu Yun nodded slightly.

"We should go and reply to them, otherwise they're probably worried sick."

In this regard.

Zero remained silent, watching the two figures transform into two shooting stars and streak into the void, before following them at a leisurely pace.

...

Crimson Flame Star.

Although Canglan Star has gradually resumed operation, the teleportation array is still in a slump. However, after learning about the "folk path," Gu Yun and his two companions retraced their steps and soon arrived at Chiyan Star.

At this time, there were no more War God Temple guards around Crimson Flame Star, and the elite of the Crimson God Guard had all withdrawn, leaving only a few scattered guards.

It seems that the two sides have already negotiated. The War God Temple has returned, and the Crimson Flame Royal Family is probably already aware of his situation. The Second Prince of Crimson Flame, Su Shen, will likely be punished for this matter, but his crime will not warrant death.

That's secondary; Gu Yun's main concern is still that the Empress.

Of the group of people who knew they were both demons and celestial demons, he wasn't worried about the others, but he wasn't sure about this empress. Although the news hadn't directly reached her ears, it wasn't hard to deduce. As it turned out, she hadn't told the God of the Underworld about this deduction, otherwise the Temple of War probably wouldn't have left so quickly.

But he didn't know whether the empress had any other plans.

However, he wouldn't go again on his own initiative; Gu Yun had no good feelings towards this empress.

The peak Saint Body cultivators flew very fast, and the three of them soon arrived at the small courtyard where Ji Ning and her group were staying. Gu Yun summoned everyone, and after exchanging information, the atmosphere became visibly tense.

But it's not hard to see that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, objectively speaking, although there were many dead and injured, at least most of their relatives were still alive, although these people could not avoid the possibility of eventually turning into demons.

Gu Yun also admitted that if they did not want to become demons, after they transformed into demons, he could have Zero cut off their inner demons, but they would have to bear the consequences of a significant drop in strength. As for himself, although he could extinguish the demonic seed in the other party's body, it was only a temporary solution. Once there was a tendency to transform into a demon, unless he calmed his mind and focused his energy every day, any negative emotions would still form a demonic seed, eventually breaking through the demonic transformation.

Gu Yun said that she really didn't have that much time to do such things.

Shang Wenqing didn't mind at all and spoke first.

"Master Gu... let's just keep calling you that. It feels a bit strange to suddenly switch to calling you Heavenly Demon, hehe."

"First of all, I want to thank you. Without your help, I really don't know if I could have handled the consequences."

"As for what you said, none of that matters. I've already decided to follow you. So what if I become a demon? With you here, the demon race will surely rise steadily. Not to mention, you saved my Shang family lineage. Everyone in the Shang family follows your orders."

Ji Ning also showed gratitude and thanked Gu Yun.

"I am truly grateful to you, brother. Without you, I honestly don't know how I would have faced this situation, or what I would have become."

"I don't have Uncle Shang's eloquence, so I can't think of anything else besides thank you."

"Brother, I'm setting off to go back tomorrow. With things like this at home, I really have no heart to go out and play or watch the games."

Gu Yun nodded and said.

"Alright, let's go back together then. Uncle Shang, you must be worried sick, right?"

"Let's stay one night and go back together tomorrow. It's likely that Canglan Star won't be peaceful these next few days, and I'll be staying there for a while."

Although Su Xiaoqian felt a little regretful, she knew that it was no longer appropriate to play around. The incident on Canglan Star had come to an end, and her own crisis had been indirectly resolved. It was time to say goodbye.

He said with some reluctance.

"Brother Gu, Brother Ji, Uncle Shang, please be careful on your journey. We'll meet again sometime..."

Gu Yun felt a little embarrassed and interrupted with a smile.

"Stop, stop, stop. You can save those words for when you say goodbye tomorrow."

"By the way, Uncle Shang, Ji Ning, are you two interested in the identity of the Original Sin Envoy?"

Shang Wenqing recalled some of the things Gu Yun had just told them, including the demonic possession and the situation of the Second Prince of Canglan, and nodded.

"I can do it. Anyway, I don't have any special skills, and I don't expect to ascend to any great path or fly to the upper realm. After listening to what you just said, I feel that the ability of Gluttony is very suitable for me. It's tough and hehe. If the power is inexhaustible, I can use some spiritual treasures and talismans more freely."

Gu Yun gave an approving reply, and then looked at Ji Ning.

After thinking for a while, Ji Ning finally rejected the suggestion, saying in a slightly serious tone.

"Brother, thank you, but I don't want to blindly follow this method of forcing growth. Although it will greatly improve my strength in the short term, it will limit my potential."

"I want to help you on the long road ahead, but I still want to try my best to understand my own will. If possible, I also want to gather the will of the emperor."

Gu Yun was not surprised by these words, but solemnly reminded Ji Ning.

"I know you're not happy with yourself right now after this incident, but I can only say do your best and don't get too caught up in it. I'll keep an eye on things for you, and just let things take their course."

“Look at Han Tian, ​​there is no rule that prevents him from climbing to the top of this world without the Emperor’s will.”

Ji Ning paused, slowly got up and took a few steps towards the door, looked up at the sky with longing, and said.

"But brother, if it's at the pinnacle of the Upper Realm, the Emperor's will is absolutely necessary, isn't it?"
