Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 664: Chapter 606: Departure

“Master Han Yue, Brother Lou, how come you both appear in my dream realm?” You Qingyi asked, somewhat confused.

Lou Yi shook his head.

This girl seems to have no idea what’s going on.

He also knew that You Qingyi seemed cold and aloof on the outside, but was actually quite innocent, pure-hearted, and kind.

If it weren’t for him coming to help, she might even thank Master Han Yue for any misfortune.

“Qingyi, after I imparted techniques to you, I didn’t vanish. I actually remained hidden within your body…

I initially wanted to merge with you, but as time went on, this thought faded…

Your good brother Lou Yi was worried about me and wanted me to leave your body, which is fine, but I’m afraid he might resort to trickery…”

Gu Qingyue didn’t hide anything; she recounted every detail to You Qingyi since leaving the secret realm.

She even revealed her initial dark thoughts, without the slightest concealment.

You Qingyi listened with her cherry-like mouth agape, surprised at how many bizarre incidents happened to her without her knowledge.

She quickly understood Gu Qingyue’s concerns and looked pleadingly at Lou Yi: “Brother Lou, although Master Han Yue might have had other intentions initially, everyone has the desire to live, which is only human nature.

She has indeed imparted techniques to me, and since she’s agreed to leave my body, can’t you…”

“I never planned to do anything to her.” Lou Yi was a bit speechless.

How did it end up with him looking like some malevolent demon?

Ever since Lou Yi assured You Qingyi, Gu Qingyue finally dropped her guard against him.

She looked at the numerous green threads connecting her divine soul to You Qingyi and whispered, “Lucky girl, you’ve got it easy.”

Upon finishing, those threads broke from her divine soul one by one and flew into You Qingyi’s divine soul, making her luminous soul brighter.

But Gu Qingyue’s divine soul became somewhat dim, then transformed into a green light and flew out of You Qingyi’s body into the silver needle magical artifact in Lou Yi’s palm.

The silver needle artifact was hollow, containing refined essence blood from the Yin-Yang Deer Demon, which immediately made Gu Qingyue’s divine soul solid again.

“Lou Yi, I hope you keep your promise.” An ethereal and elusive female voice came from the silver needle.

But then, this voice showed some alarm: “What are you doing, where did you put me?”

“The artifact conceals your divine soul. It can’t go into a storage bag, so isn’t keeping it close the best option?” Lou Yi helplessly took the silver needle from his chest, still carrying a bit of his skin’s warmth. “Or maybe I should put it on my leg?”

The silver needle went silent.

…

Two days later.

Corpse-Driving Sect, atop Wendao Peak, an ancient, seemingly deserted Daoist temple.

A group of high-ranking members of the Corpse-Driving Sect came to see off Lou Yi’s avatar, Red Hero.

Among them were Supreme Elder Master Cang Yu, Great Elder Zheng Jingming, Elder Chen, Lou Yi’s mentor He Xiang, and others.

“In Tianyuan, you must do your utmost to preserve yourself; as long as you live, there’s hope,” the Supreme Elder advised prudently.

“Rest assured, Master. I have my means.”

“Red Hero, this is our sect’s unique sensing token.

If you’re within a 100-kilometer radius, you can sense each other’s location.” The Great Elder said as he handed Lou Yi a small, brown token that seemed like wood but wasn’t.

“Alright, I will soon reunite with others in the sect.” Lou Yi nodded.

He understood that due to targeting by the Taiyi Sect, the Golden Core seeds in Tianyuan from the Corpse-Driving Sect seemed to be in a dire situation, forming alliances for survival was the only way.

Finally, the Great Elder cast a crescent-shaped dark gold token into the air, merging with an identical token from the old guardian of the teleportation array, emitting a bright golden light.

Then, the ancient Daoist temple emitted an invisible wave and turned into a deep, pitch-black cave with bone-chilling cold emanating from within.

“Rest assured, everyone, I will not fail in this mission.” Lou Yi smiled as he stepped into the cave.

He could see the cave walls engraved with complex astral-like teleportation array patterns.

Before departing, Lou Yi glanced at the attribute panel:

[Detect: Yes/No]

This journey to Tianyuan, the top priority is to seek Heaven and Earth Wonders, refine as many apertures as possible, aiming for a chance of survival eight years later.

The second major task is to find essential items that can greatly enhance talents like Divination, Disguise, Riding the Wind, Tenacity, Monster Power.

Moreover, the cessation of war between humans and demons made his energy insufficient.

Whether it’s upgrading Knowledge Storage Technique or future deductions, massive energy reserves are crucial, so he must accumulate as much energy as possible.

Of course, finding and reuniting with the Golden Core seeds from the Corpse-Driving Sect is also one of Lou Yi’s goals on this journey.

Lou Yi’s mind rapidly formulated plans.

With the current strength of his divine soul, these thoughts appeared in his mind in less than a breath.

As soon as he took a few steps, mystical spatial energy formed on the cave walls.

With a whirlwind of sensation, his body vanished from the place.

With Lou Yi’s teleportation, the cave reverted to its ancient Daoist temple form.

“Red Hero’s journey to Tianyuan, what will the harvest be? Can he ultimately survive?

Tianyuan is fraught with dangers, and he has no large entity to rely on…” Outside the ancient Daoist temple, an elder sighed, his expression filled with worry.

“Red Hero has great fate, maybe he can bring change to our sect.” Great Elder Zheng Jingming was confident in Lou Yi.

“Everything follows its fate, success is success, failure is failure, it is all destiny.” The Supreme Elder spoke with a world-weariness, calm and unfazed.

At that moment, on Wendao Peak, Bi Yaoyao furiously stepped out of Yan Bo’s abode: “Stupid Lou Yi, stupid wooden head, taking on a mission far away without telling us, clearly not having us in his thoughts at all!”

Beside her, You Qingyi said nothing, her eyes carrying a trace of bewilderment.

She felt she was overlooking something, yet couldn’t pinpoint it at the moment.
