Because she was a mere Soul, Ling Yuxian’s perception was more sensitive than usual. Moreover, she and her Older Sister had identical Souls.

 

As such, the moment she came into contact with Ling Yuling’s Soul, she could feel her Older Sister’s emotions.

 

This was giving her goosebumps as her flawlessly fair face reddened.

 

It was no wonder Gu Changge said her modesty might be compromised. This was what he meant.

 

Although Ling Yuxian did not think Gu Changge was taking advantage of her Older Sister, he was using his energy to wander around her body to cleanse the impurities in her.

 

Perhaps her Older Sister was no different from being naked to Gu Changge at this moment. She could not hide any secrets from him.

 

She and her Older Sister had been abstinent all their lives. It was their first time coming across such a thing. She wondered why her Older Sister was so calm. [How can she accept this kind of thing?]

 

After giving it some thought, she realised there was no other way. So, what if her Older Sister could not accept it? She had been trapped here for countless years, and her body had been contaminated by the Power of Darkness. A new consciousness might even have been born if left alone.

 

Ling Yuxian sighed and stole a glance at her Older Sister, only to see that the latter had no intention of stopping Gu Changge. She felt awkward deep within.

 

She thought that her Older Sister had already expected this to happen.

 

Presently, Ling Yuling’s face was still unusually red. It was as though she did not hear her Younger Sister.

 

Then, she closed her eyes and sat down cross-legged in the void, trying to establish a deeper connection with her body.

 

In the distance, a Divine Light appeared and landed between Gu Changge’s palms, after which it engulfed Ling Yuling’s body.

 

The glow was as pure as moonlight. It looked somewhat holy.

 

Gu Changge was still cleansing the impurities from her body.

 

The process was not long, but it felt like forever to Ling Yuling at this moment. Every breath of time was more unbearable than each year she had been trapped there.

 

Certainly, she knew that this was the only way to cleanse her body and remove any impurities. There was no other way.

 

It was just that she could not calm herself down even though she had been a cultivator for countless years.

 

Her mind was a mess as many thoughts turned over in her mind.

 

The connection between her Soul and her body was getting deeper.

 

She subconsciously closed her legs and opened her eyes to look at Gu Changge in the distance.

 

[Everything in the world is merely an illusion. One should not be controlled by their emotions and desires.] She recited a scripture in her mind, trying to calm herself down.

 

She had no idea what was going on. She wondered if the state of her mind had deteriorated or if she had been affected by the Aura of Darkness in this place.

 

Soon, half a day had passed.

 

As the last bit of Power of Darkness was pulled out from Ling Yuling’s body, her Soul also returned to her body.

 

In the light spring, Ling Yuling’s eyelashes trembled for a bit before she opened her eyes.

 

Her clear eyes radiated a gentle glow amid the darkness. Her gaze was pure and charming.

 

“You have my gratitude, Young Master Gu. I’ve finally returned to my body after countless years.” She parted her lips and spoke in a soft tone. Then, she tried to get up and take control of her body.

 

Gu Changge stood silently in the distance as he kept a gentle smile on his face. “Don’t mention it. It was the least I could do.”

 

He waved his hand and lightly shook the bottle in his hand before raising it above his head as though trying to engulf the entire space with the item’s power.

 

The next moment, the Aura of Darkness in this place started undulating and streaming towards the bottle.

 

“Sister, the Spirit of Eternity you’ve mentioned is tactful as he did not show up to disturb us.” Ling Yuxian approached her Older Sister. Since Ling Yuling’s Soul had returned to her body, she could naturally break free from this space. For this reason, Ling Yuxian put on a sincere smile.

 

Then, she turned to look at Gu Changge in the distance and expressed her gratitude with sincerity. “Thanks for lending us a hand, Senior Brother Gu. I’ll never forget about this favour. Please forgive me for the way I’ve been treating you.”

 

Before this, she had many prejudices against Gu Changge. She felt that he had some ill intentions and an ulterior motive. After this incident, she cast away her doubts and vigilance.

 

Now, she felt slightly guilty because of her attitude towards Gu Changge.

 

She was a straightforward person, so she liked to speak her mind instead of keeping her feelings to herself.

 

Upon hearing that, Gu Changge appeared slightly surprised. Then, he said with a smile, “I’m merely keeping my promise made to you, Senior Sister Yuxian. Moreover, it was indeed the least I could do.”

 

Ling Yuxian smiled faintly. When she recalled what she had said to deal with Gu Changge at that time, she put on a straight face. “Don’t worry, Senior Brother Gu. I’ll keep my word as well.”

 

Gu Changge nodded and looked around before saying meditatively, “It seems that the Spirit of Eternity contaminated by the Power of Darkness has returned to the Gate of Eternity.”

 

Ling Yuling had been watching the conversation between her Younger Sister and Gu Changge. She was pondering something.

 

Upon hearing Gu Changge’s words, she looked around and formed some speculation. “The Spirit of Eternity is cunning. Perhaps he ran away the moment he detected your arrival, Young Master Gu.”

 

She had been trying to look for the whereabouts of the Spirit of Eternity as well. Nevertheless, until Gu Changge was done getting rid of the Aura of Darkness for her, the Spirit of Eternity still never showed up.

 

“Sister, where’s the Gate of Eternity? Senior Brother Gu used to be the owner of the Gate of Eternity, and he has the ability to cast away the Power of Darkness. Perhaps he has a way to restore the Spirit of Eternity to his original state?” Ling Yuxian said.

 

She felt guilty because she only made a perfunctory promise to him to deal with him at that time. But now, she was sincere about helping him retrieve the Gate of Eternity.

 

Ling Yuling nodded and never probed her on this. She turned around and pointed at the glowing spring. “The Gate of Eternity is within the spring. In fact, this spring is part of the Gate of Eternity’s Source, which had not been contaminated by the Power of Darkness.”

 

[It’s inside the spring?] Ling Yuxian looked in that direction in shock.

 

If her Older Sister never brought it up, she would not have associated this spring with the Gate of Eternity.
