Chapter 819: Chapter 578: Has Qinghua Become Immortal? If So

"As for us, mere mortals"

Speaking of which, Ye Jiu glanced angrily towards Northern Hong, "Some are deliberately suppressed. Hence, they can only make their way in the mortal realm, trying to make a name for themselves, improve their cultivation, and hope that one day they too might have a chance to ascend to the Immortal Court. I am just at a loss over how he managed to dissolve those vengeful spirits in just such a short span of one hundred thousand years."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi silently looked towards the place of the Jin Guang.

One hundred thousand years? It didn’t take that long.

When I chose between the Dao Infant and the Yin God back then, it seems I chose the wrong path.

Qinghua, you truly deserve to die.

...

"Hmm?"

In the secret realm in the back mountains of Peach Blossom Villa, a vassal of the Nanyang Sect-

a giant figure in dark gold sat against the mountain, with dark gold feathers trembling slightly, appearing immensely majestic.

But the next moment, it opened its eyes, but the terrifying pupils contained a hint of dazed naivety.

Lady Qinghua said in fear, "Master, what wrong has Qinghua committed? Qinghua dares not anymore!"

"It’s nothing."

A sigh echoed in her mind.

Shen Yi remained silent for a long time, suddenly acclimating to the way others typically perceived him: "How did you do it?"

He was now genuinely curious as to how, in such a short period, she had drawn the attention of the Immortal Court.

Hearing this, Qinghua pondered for a moment, her confusion deepening, "Was it not the master who taught me? The Zhenyu Golden Body Dharma..."

She then carefully began to recount recent events to Shen Yi.

Originally, Shen Yi had left her at Peach Blossom Villa merely to dissolve the souls of those innocently killed.

For Qinghua who had once digested endless mixed thoughts within the Nanyang Treasure Land, this was truly a simple task.

The problem arose from the method discussed between the master and the servant at that time.

Which was to use the souls of demons as a prison, to forcibly suppress the mixed thoughts.

Qinghua habitually used the same method, then realized something was amiss.

After she turned the grievances within Peach Blossom Villa into something similar to "Demon Souls", they began to roam outward on their own, starting to digest the souls lost in massacres buried under the waters of Southern Hong, and even further places.

One changed to ten, ten changed to a hundred...Things quickly spiraled out of control.

Rather than saying she was dissolving resentments, it would be more accurate to say she was breeding gu. The entire process had nothing to do with her; it was entirely those cultivators who had died once, fighting a second battle invisible to the naked eye in the form of resentful spirits.

Only the victors were eligible to merge into the Zhenyu Golden Body, becoming the purest Soul Thoughts.

There’s nothing more difficult than turning back time.

Qinghua gave these lost souls a chance to resolve all grievances, the victors seeking revenge, the losers...well, the losers lost even their resentful spirits and naturally their grievances dissipated as well.

This was truly a great act of merit.

Even if others wanted to follow this path, they would have to ferry each lost soul one by one.

With the oddly demonic methods of the Zhenyu Golden Body bolstering it, the one hundred thousand years of bloodshed in Hongze had, in a short time, turned into nourishment for one person.

"..."

The silence of Shen Yi was deafening.

This was supposed to be his opportunity.

After all, this method was one of the few things he had figured out by himself.

What nonsense about Immortal Law, this is the true Ascension Method!

I, Shen Yi, devised this method; I deserve the qualifications to become Immortal!

"Forget it, you go first."

Shen Yi sighed heavily, as some things once missed are missed forever, and often a choice is more crucial than effort, even more so than facade.

Well, after all, I have connections above now.

But, damn it, I can’t get over it.

"Master—"

Qinghua always felt that her master was a bit strange today, but with urgent matters at hand, she still softly said, "Qinghua cannot leave, I have been targeted."

The Jin Guang in the sky gradually faded, and although this path had been deeply imprinted in her mind, the slowly normalizing sky seemed to announce something.

Even the well-known cultivators of the Four Hongs began to look puzzled, still unable to see the figure of the Merit Immortal within the curtain of Jin Guang until now.

"Hmm?"

Aboard the Immortal Chariot, Shen Yi suddenly furrowed his brow, disregarding the presence of several Sect Masters nearby, and directly entered Qinghua’s body.

Upon reopening his eyes, the view had already become much clearer in Peach Blossom Villa, and he slowly stood up, a bit unaccustomed to the perspective over ten meters high after such a long period of inaction, and this body also appeared excessively frail.

As soon as he entered the Golden Body Dharma Identity.

Shen Yi immediately felt the terrifying sensation of being "targeted" as described by Qinghua.

It was as if bone-chilling frost had covered his body and as if several steel knives were pressed against his lower back—if he took another step forward, he would be utterly chopped to pieces.

"Phew."

Shen Yi adjusted his breathing, as if guessing something, and struggled to raise his head to look upwards.
