“Don’t mention it. Eliminating the Black Disaster and restoring peace to the Boundless Expanse is our duty.” Gu Changge smiled gently and waved his hand.

 

In the depths of this dark space, the spring was still radiating a glow. The energy particles were spreading from it like tides.

 

Ling Yuling’s body was seated inside with her eyes closed. She was covered in a layer of light. She was a flawlessly beautiful woman who looked like she was made from jade.

 

However, she had been unmoving for a long time. It seemed like she was void of any Life Force.

 

If not for her powerful body, she would have turned into a skeleton by the corrosion of the Aura of Darkness as time passed.

 

At this moment, Ling Yuxian stared fixedly at Gu Changge’s movements, worried that something unexpected would happen.

 

Since so many years had passed, it would not be easy to bring Ling Yuling’s Soul back into her body. If something went wrong, her body would fall apart, and all their efforts would go down the drain.

 

Before this, she had been trying to come up with a way to bring Ling Yuling’s Soul back into her body.

 

However, all her attempts failed because Ling Yuling’s body was contaminated with some other auras.

 

A new consciousness might even have been born, just like what happened to other dark living beings.

 

If she wanted to bring Ling Yuling’s Soul back into her body, she had to use an immense amount of power to cleanse her body and cast away those foreign powers that were not hers.

 

Now, Ling Yuxian was most worried that her Older Sister’s body might have been contaminated by the Power of Darkness, just like the Spirit of Eternity.

 

It was extremely difficult to eliminate the Power of Darkness. Even when she was at the peak of her power, she still could not achieve this.

 

Now, she could only pin her hopes on Gu Changge. She hoped that he truly had a way to cast away the Power of Darkness just like Jing Tianyuan had said.

 

“Can you feel the connection between your body and your Soul?” Gu Changge glanced at Ling Yuling’s Soul and asked her a question to verify something.

 

“Not really. There’s only an almost negligible connection. That’s why it’s been difficult for me to go back to my body.” Ling Yuling shook her head.

 

Gu Changge nodded upon hearing her explanation. Then, he said with a smile, “It’s more difficult than I’d thought.”

 

On the other hand, Ling Yuling seemed certain, believing that he surely had a way. She stared fixedly at him and said softly, “I have faith in you, Young Master.”

 

Jing Tianyuan was seated cross-legged in the distance. A powerful aura exuded from his body. He said solemnly, “Please help, Young Master. I’ll protect you and ensure that the Spirit of Eternity will not disturb you.”

 

Gu Changge smiled and turned to look at Ling Yuling’s body. “During the process of casting away the Power of Darkness, your modesty might be compromised. I have to inform you about this in advance as I’m worried you’ll mind it.”

 

Ling Yuxian was startled for a moment before asking doubtfully, “You need to touch my Sister’s body?”

 

The two of them had been modest and abstinent since they became cultivators. Gu Changge was the only man they had come into close contact with.

 

If that was indeed the case, she was worried her Older Sister would mind it. However, did they have another way when this matter was so urgent?

 

With a calm expression, Gu Changge shook his head and said, “I won’t.”

 

It seemed he wanted to explain it, but Ling Yuling shook her head and interrupted him, saying, “Just do it without worrying about anything, Young Master Gu. Why would I have any complaints when you’re lending me a hand? Even if an accident happens, I won’t be resentful or blame it on you.”

 

“Alright.” Gu Changge nodded and directly made a move. He waved his sleeve as a bottle covered in a black mist appeared in his hand.

 

The bottle was not big, but it seemed bottomless on the inside. Billions of stars seemed to have gathered inside as ancient and thick Chaos Qi exuded from the item, yet it was only the size of a palm.

 

Ling Yuling was surprised. [Is it an Exotic Treasure? The Aura of Darkness in this place is streaming towards the bottle.]

 

Ling Yuxian was shocked as well.

 

Gu Changge did not explain anything. As he raised his hand, the bottle dropped into the spring and fell towards Ling Yuling’s body.

 

At that moment, a waterfall of Chaos Qi seemed to have formed and connected with Heaven and Earth. A black hole that seemed able to devour everything in the world appeared.

 

Wisps of black mist were undulating and streaming towards the bottle.

 

At the same time, Gu Changge made a move. Streaks of pure and holy energy landed on Ling Yuling’s body and engulfed her like starlight, which made her look even more flawless. She appeared sacred as though she was made from jade.

 

Soon enough, they could see dark spots appearing on Ling Yuling’s skin.

 

Engulfed in the force of the bottle, wisps of contorted black energy were sucked out of her body and soon evaporated.

 

Boundless Light radiated from the mouth of the bottle and cast away the darkness. The dazzling light was like the sun rising into the sky and beaming a glaring light which illuminated this dark dimensional space.

 

Ling Yuling intently watched everything while feeling a deeper connection with her body.

 

As the bottle sucked away the Aura of Darkness, Gu Changge used his pure and immense energy to cleanse her body, eliminating the impurities accumulated in this dimensional space over the years.

 

One had to know that when she was at the peak of her power, she was one of the mightiest in the Boundless Expanse. Although she was left with little to no Life Force after countless years, it would take an immense amount of energy to cleanse the impurities in her. After all, given her power, every cell of hers was like a world on its own.

 

But now, Gu Changge was calm and collected when doing all this. It seemed that his action did not affect him at all.

 

[Are we about to succeed?] Ling Yuxian watched everything closely, worried that something unexpected would happen.

 

The wisps of black energy pulled out of Ling Yuling’s body seemed like living beings. They kept contorting and screaming. Their voices were horrifying. It was as though billions of ghosts were howling at the same time.

 

Just then, Ling Yuxian noticed that something was off with her Older Sister’s Soul. She asked worriedly, “Are you alright, Sister?”

 

Something was off with Ling Yuling’s expression. Although she was a mere Soul, one could still see that her face had reddened and her eyes were moist.

 

“I-I’m fine.” Ling Yuling quickly shook her head, but she still appeared awkward. Then, she said, “After countless years, I can finally feel the connection with my body.”

 

“That’s great!” Ling Yuxian was elated upon hearing that. Ignoring the fact that she was also a Soul, she wrapped her arms around Ling Yuling.

 

She exclaimed the next moment as her expression also turned awkward. Then, she released her Older Sister.

 

She took a look at Gu Changge and shifted her attention to her Older Sister’s body, after which she muttered, “No wonder.”
