Chapter 717: Chapter 711 He Found a New Body for Himself

As memories of the past arose, Gu Youyou thought back to the ancient tomb on the hill behind Lotus Village.

Back then, she had found many remains in the ear chamber of that tomb and had said that if she had the chance to leave, she would rebury those remains properly. There were also some strange occurrences in the tomb, but afterwards, the tomb chamber collapsed, and since she was in the midst of a conflict with Jin Zijin, mistrusting each other, she had no one to confide in, so she ended up forgetting those events.

Now that she thought about it, she realized that the tomb chamber was indeed no ordinary place. It was a refuge for the third prince and his son, which could hardly be just an ordinary tomb.

She asked, "That tomb behind Lotus Village, the one where Jin Ziyuan was hiding, what kind of tomb is it exactly? I saw many murals of ascensions in broad daylight in there, and even the mechanism on the door is the Innate Eight Trigrams. Is it related to your Dao Family?"

Jin Zijin nodded and said, "Indeed, that tomb is a several-hundred-year-old ancient tomb. The owner of the tomb was a high-level figure of that era’s Xuanzong, also the one closest to succeeding in a medicinal human sacrifice ritual."

Gu Youyou’s brow twitched, and she said, "Closest to succeeding, so that means not successful, right? If our ancestors failed, then why does Yu Jizi still believe in the superstition of ascending to heaven in broad daylight?"

Jin Zijin replied with a scornful laugh, "Some people just don’t believe in fate and are convinced they are the first to defy heaven and change destiny." He looked at Gu Youyou, his expression becoming more somber, his pupils constricted, his face more serious than ever.

Gu Youyou was startled and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Jin Zijin said, "I never used to believe their nonsense, even when there was plenty of convincing evidence right before my eyes, I didn’t believe it. But Youyou, your case... it’s very similar to the records."

Seeing his expression, Gu Youyou’s face turned a shade paler, "What... what do you mean by that? Similar to what?"

"Soul Transfer!" Jin Zijin uttered coldly.

Soul Transfer?

Gu Youyou shuddered with fear, instantly understanding his meaning.

"You mean..." She could hardly believe it. Wasn’t it about ascending to heaven in broad daylight? How did it become Soul Transfer?

"You’re saying that what they truly meant by immortality isn’t becoming a fairy and ascending to heaven, but rather... discarding one’s aging body and transferring the soul to another person, using another person’s body to continue living."

"Exactly," Jin Zijin said indifferently.

Gu Youyou chuckled dryly, her laugh more pained than crying, "How is that possible?"

But as soon as she spoke, she froze.

How is that possible? Why wouldn’t it be possible?

Gu Youyou herself was a case in point. Modern-day Gu Youyou drowned at sea and transferred her soul into the body of Gu Youyou from Lotus Village, using her body. Now eight years younger, she continued living in this younger body.

Otherwise, she would be the same age as Jin Zijin.

Jin Zijin watched Gu Youyou intensely, his voice low, "That male body of pure yin was the new body he had chosen for himself."

"You mean Jin Ziyuan?" Gu Youyou’s face filled with horror, "He intends to transfer his soul into Jin Ziyuan’s body?"

Jin Zijin nodded slightly and said, "Exactly, which is why for all those years, he kept Jin Ziyuan in an idiotic state using drugs, not wanting him to retain too many memories that might interfere. He has been the State Preceptor for more than fifty years, getting old but delaying the selection of a new State Preceptor, likely paving the way for his new body."

Gu Youyou was stunned—what a vile old creep.

"Then why didn’t you say anything before?"
