I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.
Chapter 51 Fluttering Butterfly Wings
Cold Moon Palace, Supreme Heartless Peak.
This forbidden land, which is covered in snow all year round, has recently been filled with the aroma of roasted meat.
"Gu Yun, you're starting a fire in front of the palace again."
Mo Qianyan walked out of the hall with a cold voice, dressed in white, her face expressionless.
In the snow, a silver-haired young man, shirtless with clearly defined muscles, was skillfully roasting a snow rabbit.
When Mo Qianyan saw him, the coldness on her face lessened slightly, replaced by a hint of helplessness.
"Qianyan, you're out of seclusion. Come and have a taste."
Gu Yun grinned, cut off a piece of roasted rabbit leg with a knife, blew on it to warm it up, and brought it to her lips.
"The meat is of good quality, and it has been treated with Cold Spirit Honey."
"As the Grand Elder of the Cold Moon Palace, what would the disciples think if they saw me lighting a fire here every day..."
Mo Qianyan scolded him, but leaned forward slightly and took a bite of the roasted meat from his hand.
The meat chunks were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sweet honey flavor.
Mo Qianyan chewed, her usually indifferent brows and eyes relaxing.
Gu Yun casually pulled her into his arms, letting her lean against his warm chest.
He rested his chin on the top of her head and chuckled softly.
"What heartless sword master? He's been fed by this roast meat of mine, hasn't he? I think the rules of the Cold Moon Palace need to be changed. Why can't fairies eat roast meat?"
Mo Qianyan's cheeks flushed.
She reached out and lightly punched his chest, not moving away, letting herself be enveloped in that warmth.
After eating the barbecue, Gu Yun took out a string of purple jade spirit grapes.
Mo Qianyan also abandoned her usual dignified demeanor and rested against Gu Yun's legs.
With the hands that had torn apart demonic beasts, Gu Yun carefully peeled the grape skins and fed the pulp to Mo Qianyan.
"Is it sweet?"
He lowered his head and asked.
"Hmm...I want to eat more."
Mo Qianyan closed her eyes and spoke indistinctly.
The two were enjoying this moment of peace.
"Crunch."
The sound of footsteps crunching in the snow came from the courtyard gate.
Gu Chengfeng strode in, carrying a dark gold-colored black egg, and shouted excitedly.
"Father! I don't quite understand the power exertion of the second level of the Great Wilderness Body..."
He stopped mid-sentence, his tall figure frozen on the stone steps of the courtyard gate.
Gu Chengfeng stared wide-eyed at the scene in the courtyard, speechless for a moment.
Lying on his father's lap is his mother, who has always been aloof and ruthless?
The one holding his mother and feeding her grapes is his father, who could kill a great demon with a single punch and has an arrogant temperament?
The surrounding air fell silent instantly.
Even the black egg in Gu Chengfeng's arms, which was usually absorbing spiritual energy, was quiet and still at this moment.
"Click."
Gu Chengfeng subconsciously took a step back, breaking a dry branch under the snow.
The two people in the courtyard looked at each other at the same time.
Mo Qianyan was startled and sat up straight from Gu Yun's lap. The sword intent of the Supreme Forgetfulness flashed by in an instant, and she reverted to her aloof and cold Sword Master demeanor. Although her cheeks were still red, she coughed lightly, feigning composure.
"Ahem... Chengfeng, why aren't you practicing your skills in the back mountain? What are you doing here?"
Gu Yunze remained seated, holding half a grape that hadn't been fully peeled, looking at his impetuous son with amusement.
That expression clearly said: Kid, you dare to interrupt my good time?
Gu Chengfeng glanced at his mother, who was trying to remain calm, and then at his father, whose eyes were filled with hostility. His expression stiffened.
He reacted quickly, picked up the black egg, turned around and left, muttering loudly:
"Ah! The wind is strong today! I've suddenly gained a new understanding of boxing! I'm going to the waterfall behind the mountain to cultivate in seclusion, and I won't come out until I've mastered it! Father, Mother, I'm leaving now!"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already disappeared without a trace, moving even faster than when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Watching her son run away, Gu Yun finally laughed out loud and reached out to pull the still shy Mo Qianyan back into her arms.
"This kid is actually quite sensible."
"You! It's all your fault!"
Mo Qianyan was a little annoyed and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on Gu Yun's waist.
"Now I've lost all my authority in front of Chengfeng!"
"What's more important to you than my dignity?"
Gu Yun held her hand, his eyes gentle. "It took me eighteen years to find you again. From now on, I will never let you suffer any more grievances."
Mo Qianyan froze, her eyes welling up with tears, and the thirteen blood-red beads around her neck emitted a faint glow.
She leaned gently against Gu Yun's chest, a smile playing on her lips.
"Hmm... From now on, we'll never be apart again."
As night deepened, the snow on Jueqing Peak became softer under the influence of the array.
Inside the bedchamber, Mo Qianyan had already fallen asleep.
Gu Yun covered her with the quilt, went to the outer warm room, sat cross-legged on the white jade cushion, and closed his eyes.
Thirteen illusory beads were rotating around the several solidified Dao foundations within his body.
Gu Yun muttered to himself, "Joy, anger, thought, sorrow, fear, aversion, and desire, as well as the six desires of sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and mind. Of the thirteen beads, only the beads of taste, touch, and mind lack a foundation; it seems I'll need some more time..."
His consciousness sank into the Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.
Within the sea of consciousness, on the inner side of the blood-red wings of the butterfly imprint, a line of extremely small, dark gold characters appeared:
[Current time and space: Yama calendar, Daoyuan 3231, August 28th.]
[Remaining life span: 426]
Below the "Lifespan" field is a glowing blank area, followed by a line of small text:
[Written into spacetime, reversing time in place, deducting lifespan equal to the reversed time. The longer the stay, the more drastic the lifespan depletion.]
"Write it down? Reverse time?"
Gu Yun was startled, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"In other words, I can use my lifespan as a price to go back to a specific point in the past and stay there!"
Gu Yun's breathing became a little rapid.
He glanced at the Desire Pearl in his Purple Mansion.
To forge it into a [Dao Foundation], a large number of rare and precious materials are needed.
Gu Yun immediately recalled a piece of information he had seen before: records from the Cold Moon Palace's library.
However, we need to check the specific date.
The 21st day of the seventh month in the 3200th year of the Daoyuan era.
Fortunately, the time wasn't too long, otherwise I would have to worry about my lifespan.
"In the Sunset Swamp of the Cangbei Spiritual Domain, there once appeared a Heaven-Devouring Demon Toad! It devoured an entire top-grade spiritual vein, and its flesh and blood were extremely nourishing! Unfortunately, it was cleaved into ashes by a heavenly tribulation when it transformed into human form!"
"Struck by lightning and turned to ashes? What a waste. I'll have a taste of this demonic toad too."
Gu Yun made a special trip to the library again.
Gu Yun's eyes were filled with fervor, and his divine sense transformed into an invisible pen, ready to write the days in that glowing blank space.
But just before he put pen to paper, he stopped, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
"Wait... something's not right."
Gu Yun took a deep breath, looking at the blood-red butterfly in the Purple Mansion, still feeling lingering fear.
"This ability is time travel! If I go back in time right here, what if what I did in the past caused some changes and altered the current state of the Cold Moon Palace?"
"I now have a wife and son. If my actions change the past and cause Qianyan's fate to deviate, or Chengfeng to never be born, he cannot bear the consequences."
Gu Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead.
As a husband and father, he couldn't take the risk that would implicate his family.
"If I'm going back, it has to be to a remote, deserted place, a place with absolutely no connection to anyone around me!"
Having made up her mind, Gu Yun immediately opened her eyes.
He left a note on the table that read, "Going out for a trip, will return in two days," opened the window, and activated the Great Wilderness Body.
"boom!"
He moved so fast that he left only a streak in the night sky as he flew toward Sunset Swamp, a hundred thousand miles away from Cold Moon Palace.
...
One day later.
On the edge of the Cangbei Spirit Realm, in the Sunset Swamp.
This place is shrouded in poisonous miasma, devoid of life, and uninhabited for miles around.
Gu Yun stood on the mud in the center of the swamp and nodded in satisfaction: "This is it. This is still a dangerous place. Whatever we do here won't affect Qianyan and the others."
He sat down cross-legged, probed his dantian with his divine sense, and without hesitation wrote in the glowing column:
[July 21st, 3200th year of the Daoyuan Era.]
As the numbers were written down, the lifespan on the butterfly imprint decreased from 426 to 395.
hum!
The Blood Butterfly flapped its wings, and a vast spacetime law enveloped Gu Yun. The sky above the swamp twisted, and Gu Yun's figure disappeared.
...
Sunset Swamp.
"Boom!"
