This matter was supposed to be top secret, but Chu Xinyue knew that if she decided to deal with the Primary Hope Saintess, she would have to use the power of the Unfettered Heavenly Palace. As such, it was fine to tell Ouyang Ji about it now.

 

“We’re not going to deal with the Primary Hope Saintess. We’re just trying to protect ourselves in response to whatever she does.” Chu Xinyue shook her head. Her gaze was dark.

 

Ouyang Ji furrowed his brows and said worriedly, “Regardless, the Primary Hope Saintess has an unrivalled status in the Primary Hope Civilisation. What you’re going to do will offend the Primary Hope Holy Church, which will make you on the opposite side of all Forces. In that case, it’ll make the situation worse for the Land of Celestial Suffering.”

 

He seemed seriously worried about the future of the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

“Can the situation be worse than it already is? The Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain, Zi Wanhe, sent a black coffin to my Father’s birthday banquet right in front of so many guests. That has made us the laughing stock of the world.” Chu Xinyue said with an icy expression.

 

Ouyang Ji parted his lips in an attempt to say something, but he decided to stay silent in the end.

 

Chu Xinyue knew that her tone was too harsh, so she spoke in a softer and helpless voice. “Those from Purple Sky Mountain have crossed the line. They have no regard for us at all. That guy surnamed Gu is the one who made my Younger Brother lose his life. I even suspect that he’s the reason that Purple Sky Mountain launched an attack against us this time. In this situation, we can only take on the risk.”

 

“I understand how you feel, Xinyue.” Ouyang Ji sighed, still very worried.

 

Chu Xinyue turned to look at him and said gently, “I know you’ll understand me. You’re the Young Palace Master of the Unfettered Heavenly Palace. Given how brilliant you are, you’ll definitely take charge of the Unfettered Heavenly Palace one day. I’m sure you’ll help me. After we solve all the troubles, I’ll ask my Father to let us get married.”

 

When Ouyang Ji heard that she was willing to marry him, he was elated. He stopped worrying and nodded hurriedly. “Don’t worry, Xinyue. Since we’re so close, I won’t turn you down. I’ll do my best to help you and the Land of Celestial Suffering. Whatever you want me to do, just tell me. Regardless of what the matter is, I won’t be afraid as long as you want me to do it.”

 

Seeing how sincere Ouyang Ji was, Chu Xinyue appeared moved. She said softly, “I knew you were the right person for me.”

 

Although Ouyang Ji could hardly conceal his elation, he did not let it get to his head. He quickly calmed down and said seriously, “However, the person you’re going to deal with is the Primary Hope Saintess. Considering her identity and status, I’m sure you know what the consequences will be if you fail.”

 

Chu Xinyue was not surprised by his reaction. She still gently said, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid now? What the Primary Hope Saintess has done is not right. She must be worried that the Land of Celestial Suffering might replace the Primary Hope Holy Church as we’re developing too rapidly, which is why she has decided to go against us. Since she’s already made a move, should we sit back and do nothing?”

 

Ouyang Ji nodded without a word. He followed Chu Xinyue as they headed to the depths of the palace.

 

Xing Ying from Ardent Ruins Cave had left the birthday banquet. Presently, she was located in the depths of the palace. Star King Bai Mei was also there.

 

Chu Gucheng was discussing something with them. He had never looked more solemn.

 

“I didn’t expect Purple Sky Mountain to launch an attack against us. I suspect that this is a plot against us. Other than Purple Sky Mountain, some other Force is probably having a hand in this matter in secret. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Heavenslayers Alliance controlled by that guy surnamed Gu.” Chu Gucheng solemnly said.

 

“Indeed, the matter is too coincidental. Since that man has the guts to come to the Land of Celestial Suffering on his own, he must be powerful. I wonder how much confidence you have in making him stay, Your Majesty.” After Uncle Fu was stripped of his duties, Star King Bai Mei became Chu Gucheng’s most trusted aide.

 

He had a thin figure and was clad in a white robe which swayed with the wind. A whisk was hidden in his loose sleeve. Phenomena such as the changes of the seasons, lightning, and storms were enacted in the glow radiating from it.

 

Chu Gucheng furrowed his brows and said solemnly, “I can’t see through him. He gives off a horrifying feeling.”

 

He did not finish his words. When he met Gu Changge for the first time on the city wall, he felt like he was the prey in the latter’s eyes. He still could not forget how terrified he felt at that time.

 

“That young man surnamed Gu has unfathomable power. I’m not even a match for him. Before we fall out with him, you’d better not get into any conflict with him, King Chu. Even if we can restrain him, we’ll have to pay a huge price for it.” Xing Ying said just then. Her silvery pupils appeared vigilant.

 

Since even Xing Ying from Ardent Ruins Cave had said so, Chu Gucheng’s expression became even more solemn. He clenched his fists, feeling helpless.

 

“Don’t worry, Senior. I know what I should and should not do,” he said seriously.

 

Old Lady Xing Ying nodded. “Although the guy surnamed Gu has a mysterious background and inscrutable power, it’s not impossible to deal with him. If you’re able to make my Master agree to help, all the trouble will be resolved.”

 

“The Master of Ardent Ruins Cave?” Chu Gucheng was startled. He had thought about this, but Ardent Ruins Cave was too mysterious. No one knew its background or where it was.

 

Naturally, the Master of Ardent Ruins Cave was powerful. However, given Chu Gucheng’s capabilities, how was he able to ask such a being to lend him a hand?

 

Old Lady Xing Ying knew what was on Chu Gucheng’s mind, so she said. “My Master won’t take on Disciples easily. Over the years, he’s had only a small number of Disciples. However, since he’s asked Junior Brother Bai Mei to assist you, I’m sure he can tell that you’re extraordinary. Moreover, my Master thinks highly of you. He’s even given you a pouch. If you sincerely acknowledge him to be your Master, he might consider agreeing to it.”

 

A glint flashed across Chu Gucheng’s eyes when he heard that. He was tempted.

 

He had carefully kept the mysterious pouch. It was a wonder what was inside.

 

Suddenly, he thought of something and shook his head. He spoke in a firm tone. “I’m afraid I can’t do that. Since I’ve acknowledged the Dharma Sage to be my Master, he’ll forever be my Master. I can’t abandon him and acknowledge someone else to be my Master. Although I’ve always admired the Master of Ardent Ruins Cave, I cannot forget about everything my Master has done for me.”

 

Old Lady Xing Ying was not displeased upon hearing his words.

 

Instead, she put on a smile and said, “Let’s put that matter aside for now. Why don’t you open the pouch my Master gave to you and see what’s inside? Perhaps you’ll find a way to deal with the man surnamed Gu.”

 

Chu Xinyue, who had arrived at the depths of the palace, happened to hear what they had said. She had considered finding fault with Gu Changge, but she did not expect the man to be so powerful that these people were vigilant. Even the mysterious Xing Ying had said so.

 

Anyway, given how powerful Ardent Ruins Cave was, the pouch given by its Master was surely profound.

 

She approached them without disrupting their conversation. She only stood behind Chu Gucheng.

 

Ouyang Ji and the people of the Unfettered Heavenly Palace tactfully waited outside the hall. They did not enter the place along with Chu Xinyue.

 

“You have a point, Senior Xing Ying. I’ll open the pouch straight away.” Chu Gucheng was curious about what was inside the pouch too.

 

As he spoke, he spread his palm and a light flashed across it. An ordinary pouch appeared right on his palm.

 

Xing Ying’s gaze fell upon the pouch. She was curious about what her Master had given to Chu Gucheng. Star King Bai Mei looked on with curiosity as well.

 

As the pouch was opened, a sizable Pill that radiated a glow was revealed.

 

The Pill had seven holes, and every hole exuded a thick and mysterious aura. The mist coming from the Pill kept shifting in the air.

 

It turned into a burly man but became a child the next moment. Sometimes, it was a beautiful woman, but sometimes, it was an old person. It also transformed into different kinds of ferocious beasts.

 

All sorts of living beings formed in the mist. The living beings came from different universes and galaxies. The entire scene looked mystifying.

 

“What is this?” Chu Gucheng looked at the Pill in shock.

 

Given his experience and knowledge, he still could not tell what the Pill was.

 

On the other hand, the moment Star King Bai Mei and Xing Ying saw the Pill, they were rooted to the spot.

 

When Xing Ying came to her senses, she still found it unbelievable. She muttered, “Is this the Great Pill of Reincarnation and Creation made from the Dao Fruit of a Shapeshifting Ancestor that my Master had killed in the Chaotic Spacetime Sea?”

 

Star King Bai Mei was puzzled as well, wondering why his Master had given this precious but somewhat useless Pill to Chu Gucheng as a birthday gift.

 

When he saw how perplexed Chu Gucheng and Chu Xinyue were, he explained, “This Pill is named the Great Pill of Reincarnation and Creation. After my Master killed a Shapeshifting Ancestor, he took its Dao Fruit and added in many precious herbs to make this Pill. After one takes this Pill, he can perfectly turn into anyone in the world. Even a Last Stage being can’t see through it.”

 

The Shapeshifting Ancestor was a Demonic Beast in the Ancestral Dao Realm. It was usually hidden in the Chaotic Spacetime Sea. Almost no one could find its true body, let alone kill it.

 

Since the Pill was made from its Dao Fruit, it showed how precious it was.

 

Chu Xinyue was shocked by how invaluable this Pill was, but she did not understand why the Master of Ardent Ruins Cave had sent them such a pill.

 

On the other hand, Chu Gucheng soon figured out the intention of the Master of Ardent Ruins Cave.

 

“I didn’t expect that Senior from Ardent Ruins Cave to be able to predict the future. He had expected the dilemma we would face, so he sent us such an amazing Pill. I’m eternally grateful to him.” He could hardly conceal his excitement and elation.

 

Xing Ying came to her senses and realised her Master’s intention as well. She explained, “After consuming the Great Pill of Reincarnation and Creation, one would not immediately turn into the person he wants to become. He has to come into contact with that person. After he becomes that person, apart from his power, his aura, movements, expressions, and memories will become the same as those of the original person.”

 

“I see. I get it now.” Chu Gucheng nodded upon hearing her explanation. He had a better understanding of the uses of this Great Pill of Reincarnation and Creation.

 

Rather than shapeshifting, it was more like turning someone into a being who was identical to the original person. However, during the process of copying, one had to come into contact with the original person. It was not physical contact. Instead, it was observation and imitation from a short distance.

 

“Father, even Heaven is on our side.” Chu Xinyue had also figured out what the Great Pill of Reincarnation and Creation was for, so she was thrilled.

 

Under normal circumstances, this Pill would be useless. Nevertheless, considering the Land of Celestial Suffering’s situation, this Pill had come at the right time. It could amazingly resolve their trouble and crisis.

 

Chu Gucheng and his Daughter were grateful to the mysterious Master of Ardent Ruins Cave.

 

“I was initially worried the decision would bring about dreadful consequences. It seems that everything has been preordained. The Mirror of Reincarnation will soon belong to us.” Chu Gucheng put on a smile while feeling confident.

 

Meanwhile, after Chu Gucheng left the party, the guests had a good time instead of feeling uneasy.

 

Jars of wine and delectable dishes were presented to them. As they enjoyed their food and wine, they seemed to have forgotten about the fact that the Land of Celestial Suffering was at war with the Beast Court and Purple Sky Mountain. They also did not seem to remember that Chu Gucheng had been humiliated following his battle against Zi Wanhe.

 

This was giving the ministers a hard time. The Princes, Princesses, and other Juniors of the Chu Family felt like they were seated on pins and needles.

 

Chu Wushang had been vigilant against Gu Changge. He was worried that after his Father left, Gu Changge would flare up.

 

Much to his surprise, Gu Changge took the initiative to greet and speak to him.

 

Chu Wushang could not figure out his intention. Left with no choice, he could only force a smile and propose a toast to Gu Changge.

 

When the other guests saw that, they had to politely finish their wine as well.

 

Naturally, the wine presented to them was no ordinary item. Chu Wushang could usually drink a lot, but he became dizzy in the end.

 

He had tried using mana to stay sober but to no avail. This was celestial wine that even an Ancestral Dao Realm expert would get drunk if they drank too much of it. After all, it contained broken Principles of the Ancestral Dao Realm, which would help cultivators with their comprehension.

 

When the cultivators comprehended these Principles, they would be enlightened and intoxicated.

 

“Has the party finally ended?” When Chu Wushang saw that most people had left the party, he shook his head to stay awake.

 

The birthday banquet was supposed to last for a few days, but because of what had happened that day, it could only end quickly. They had been preparing for this birthday banquet for a long time, but they ended up becoming a laughingstock. Chu Wushang rose to his feet with difficulty and almost fell to the ground.

 

When the other Princes saw that, they hurriedly supported his weight. “You are drunk, Eldest Brother. You should get some rest. We’ll take you to your room.”
