I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

Gu Yun asked.

"Because Heaven will not tolerate it."

Juekong pointed to the sky.

"The power of the Witch Clan was too violent, and they only knew how to take and destroy, which eventually attracted the punishment of the Heavenly Dao. The bloodline of the Witch Clan was shackled by the Heavenly Dao, and they declined and degenerated into mortals. Even if there are occasional bloodline reversions, they will die because they cannot break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and their blood goes berserk."

Juekong gave Gu Yun a deep look:

"Back then, in Falling Star Valley, you withstood my Buddhist teachings with your bare body and survived. I guessed that you were an extremely rare case of a Wu clan member who had reverted to their ancestral form. But not only did you survive, you even seem to have broken some kind of taboo... This is simply an incredible miracle."

Gu Yun understood.

He survived because the Book of Destiny forcibly obscured the Heavenly Dao, transforming the laws of Heaven into a red butterfly mark between his eyebrows, and he also used the Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion to condense his Dao foundation.

But Gu Chengfeng did not have the Book of Fate Change!

"Master, the bloodline of the Witch Clan within my son is clearly dormant. Is there any way to help him break free from that bloodline shackles and embark on the cultivation path of the Witch Clan?"

Gu Yun stared intently at Jue Kong.

Juekong pondered for a long time, then got up and paced under the Bodhi tree.

"The Buddhist community is compassionate. Since you have inquired, I will accept this virtuous request."

Juekong took out an ancient jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Yun.

"According to the top-secret records of my Vajra Temple, at the northernmost edge of the Cangbei Spiritual Domain, across the endless ice plains, there is a desolate place called the Extreme Northern Wasteland."

"Legend has it that this place was where a powerful sorcerer of the ancient times perished. There is a Blood Pool there that allows one to transform into a god. If your son truly possesses the bloodline of the sorcerer, as long as he enters the Blood Pool for baptism and uses the remaining ancient sorcerer's malevolent energy to impact his physical body, he may be able to break through the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and awaken his own sorcerer totem!"

Juekong's tone suddenly changed, becoming extremely serious:

"But benefactor, the desolate tomb in the far north is extremely dangerous. Even Nascent Soul stage cultivators dare not venture there lightly. Moreover, the process of breaking through the shackles of bloodline is fraught with peril. If your son cannot withstand that violent baleful aura, he will instantly explode and die."

Gu Yun took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and imprinted the map into his mind.

He stood up, placed the flask of spirit wine on the stone table, his eyes showing no fear, but rather burning with fierce fighting spirit.

"So what if I survive a near-death experience?"

Gu Yun gave a cold laugh, her silver hair flying in the wind.

"If my son, Gu Yun's son, can't even withstand a little bit of murderous aura, then he doesn't deserve to be my son."

"Thank you so much for your guidance, Master. I, Gu Yun, will remember this kindness!"

Having said that, Gu Yun rose from the ground, transforming into a whirlwind and instantly disappearing from the summit of Wanfo Mountain.

Amidst howling winds, Gu Yun's figure moved like a streak of blue lightning.

"Alright, let's go back to Cold Moon Palace first!"

After leaving Wanfo Mountain, Gu Yun was eager to return home.

Having found a way to resolve his son Gu Chengfeng's spiritual deficiency, all he wanted to do was return to Hanyue Palace as soon as possible.

Gu Yun has no spiritual power and cannot fly.

He pushed the "Great Wilderness Body" to its limit, his legs stomping wildly on the earth like an ancient ferocious beast.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Each time he used the earth for leverage, the hard rock would shatter into a large crater, and his entire body would transform into a dark bronze afterimage, skimming the ground at a speed comparable to a flying sword, leaping rapidly between mountains and rivers, each leap covering several miles.

When he leaped into a desolate ravine called "Soul-Severing Gorge" in such an extremely barbaric manner.

A sudden change has occurred!

hum!

The sky within a radius of a hundred miles suddenly darkened, and a thick, scarlet curtain of blood, like an overturned bowl, instantly sealed off this area completely!

An overwhelming pressure, carrying a suffocating aura of death, crashed down from the sky!

"Bang!"

Gu Yun's body suddenly sank, as if he had been hit by a towering mountain out of nowhere, creating a giant meteorite crater.

"This kind of oppressive aura...the peak of the Golden Core stage?!"

Gu Yun knelt on one knee, slowly raised her head, her silver hair dancing wildly in the blood-red gale.

His eyes instantly turned cold and bloodthirsty.

"Hahaha! Eighteen years! Gu Yun, I've been searching for you for so long!"

Above the blood-red curtain, amidst churning clouds, a gaunt old man draped in a long red robe slowly emerged.

He stared intently at Gu Yun below, as if he were looking at prey.

The Supreme Elder of the Hehuan Sect, the Yin Sha Old Demon!

Eighteen years ago, it was he who used his divine sense to search for Gu Yun repeatedly outside the Cangyuan Secret Realm.

He never imagined that the Demon Star who killed his beloved disciple and slaughtered hundreds of elites of his Hehuan Sect right under his nose would become his enemy.

Not only did he not die in the Cangyuan Secret Realm, but he actually broke out of his coffin eighteen years later.

"Old dog, your nose is pretty sharp."

Gu Yun straightened up and reached out to wipe away the trace of blood that had been shaken from the corner of his mouth.

"Sharp tongue and biting tongue! Back then, you killed my Joyful Union Sect Elder Ku Yin and destroyed the foundation of my sect. Today, I will extract your soul and temper it in the Netherworld Fire for a hundred years!"

The old demon of Yin Sha suddenly grabbed with his withered fingers.

"boom!"

The blood-red clouds in the sky instantly transformed into a blood-corroding demonic hand, carrying a terrifying, all-corrosive aura, and slashed down towards Gu Yun's head.

"I could kill Ku Yin back then, and I can chop you up just as easily today!"

Gu Yun roared and advanced instead of retreating. The eleven Dao Foundations within his Purple Mansion roared in unison, and endless power poured into his entire body.

He stomped his legs off the ground and threw a punch at the hundred-foot-long demonic hand!

"Bang!"

Two collisions, one large and one small, extremely disproportionate.

The Blood Demon Hand, which seemed capable of crushing mountains, was actually blasted into a large hole by Gu Yun's pure physical strength!

Gu Yun pierced through the blood mist, soaring into the sky like an ancient tyrannical dragon. He turned his palm into a blade and slashed fiercely at the neck of the Yin Sha Old Demon.

"You've got some skill; no wonder you can kill people above your level. For a body cultivator like you, the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage is an insurmountable chasm you can never cross in your lifetime!"

The Yin Sha Old Demon sneered, his body remaining still as a bone shield composed of countless skulls instantly solidified in front of him.

"clang!"

Gu Yun slashed at the bone shield with his hand, unleashing a deafening clang of metal against metal. He felt as if he had struck black iron, and fine cracks appeared on the bone shield.

"Give me the town!"

The Yin Sha Old Demon formed a hand seal.

"Ten Thousand Ghosts Devour Souls!"

In an instant, thousands upon thousands of ferocious, blood-red demons surged out from all directions, opening their fangs and gaping maws, and frantically tearing at Gu Yun's body.

"Get out of here!"

Gu Yun roared, his fists swung like windmills, and the blood and qi of the Great Wilderness Body transformed into a rolling furnace, shattering the approaching evil spirits.

The endless stream of evil spirits made Gu Yun's movements increasingly sluggish.

puff!

A demon found an opening and bit down hard on Gu Yun's left shoulder, tearing off a piece of flesh!

"hiss!"

Gu Yun gasped and crushed the main soul with his backhand, but more attacks followed.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

In less than ten breaths, Gu Yun had dozens of deep, bone-revealing wounds on his body. His prized glassy jade bones were beginning to show cracks in the face of absolute suppression of his cultivation level.

"It's over, that bastard child of a body cultivator!"

Seizing the opportunity, the Yin Sha Old Demon conjured a ten-zhang-long Blood-Transforming Demon Blade in his hand. This demonic blade, carrying terrifying power capable of cleaving through the void, slashed fiercely towards Gu Yun's brow!

This attack was unavoidable and unstoppable!

Gu Yun was covered in blood, and the blood and qi in his dantian had been squeezed to the limit. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the falling demonic blade. Even if he died in battle, he would never close his eyes!

At this critical moment!

"Stop harming your benefactor!!!"

A clear yet resolute shout suddenly tore through the blood-red curtain in the distance.

A dazzling golden sword light swept across from beyond the sky!

"boom!"

The golden sword light slammed into the side of the Blood-Transforming Demon Blade, deflecting the fatal blow several feet away. The blade grazed Gu Yun's cheek and cleaved the earth, creating a bottomless chasm.

Gu Yun suddenly turned around.

At the gap in the blood-stained curtain, a woman dressed in a plain white palace stood holding a sword.

Her appearance was exceptionally beautiful, and she exuded spiritual pressure from the early stage of the Golden Core realm!

When she saw the dark bronze figure below, covered in blood and with wildly dancing silver hair, her delicate body trembled violently, and two streams of tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

Thirty-one years!

Back then in Sunset Swamp, that towering figure shielded her from a fatal lightning tribulation, bestowed upon her a fragment of a demon core, and changed the course of her life.

She searched for a full thirty-one years!

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs of my Joyful Union Sect!"

The Yin Sha Old Demon was furious and roared.

Su Wanyin ignored the old demon and flashed to block Gu Yun's path.

She turned around and looked at Gu Yun's handsome and otherworldly face. Her eyes were red, but a bright smile bloomed on her lips.

"Senior... Wan Yin, I've finally found you."

Gu Yun was stunned.

He looked at the vaguely familiar face, and the image of that thin girl flashed through his mind.

Tears welled up in Su Wan's eyes.

"You said back then that we might meet again after I cultivated my Golden Core. Wan Yin cultivated day and night, and finally achieved Golden Core formation... Wan Yin didn't let you down!"

Gu Yun's heart skipped a beat.

The girl he casually saved by using the "Book of Destiny" to travel back in time actually formed a golden core within thirty-one years, and even stood in front of him at this critical moment!

"Step back! You're only at the early Golden Core stage; you can't stop him!"

Gu Yun shouted, trying to pull her away.

But Su Wanyin stood stubbornly in place, refusing to back down an inch.

"You shameless, ignorant wench! Since you wish to be his soulmate, I will grant your wish!"

The Yin Sha Old Demon was completely enraged, roared to the sky, and clenched his withered hands together.

"Blood Transformation Demon God Slash!"

This time, the power of the entire blood curtain was drained and condensed into a blood blade that was hundreds of feet long and covered the sky.

The blood-red blade, carrying an aura of death that could destroy everything, locked onto Gu Yun and Su Wanyin like a divine punishment.
