Chapter 498: Gu You’s Breakthrough!

Chapter 498: Gu You’s Breakthrough!

The massive blood sea, spanning a hundred feet, surged into the sky before quickly retracting into Xue He’s body, revealing the withered corpse that had been hidden beneath it.

"Master!" Xue He, the Fourth Heaven Elder, respectfully placed Gu You’s body before Gu He and bowed with deep reverence.

"Hmm."

Gu He nodded slightly, then gestured for the black mist to enter the withered body.

Receiving the command, the black mist did not hesitate and immediately merged into the lifeless corpse.

Since this body originally belonged to Gu You, his soul required no time to assimilate.

In an instant, Gu You’s once-lifeless pupils reignited with a dim green glow.

"Gu You, take out the spatial jade slip from your storage ring," Gu He ordered as soon as Gu You regained control of his body.

"As you command, Master!"

An aged yet respectful voice emerged from Gu You’s mouth.

His withered hand brushed lightly across his storage ring, and a spatial jade slip appeared in his palm.

Earlier, by implanting the Ancient Puppet Seed, Gu He had gained access to Gu You’s memories.

Through them, he had uncovered even deeper secrets about the Soul Hall.

More importantly, he had learned that inside Gu You’s storage ring was a spatial jade slip capable of summoning the Soul Hall’s strongest figure—the First Heaven Elder.

The power of the First Heaven Elder was far beyond that of Gu You or Xue He.

Having reached the level of a Two-Star Dou Saint, even Gu He himself had no absolute confidence in facing him.

Furthermore, even if Gu He could barely defeat the First Heaven Elder, it would be a reckless move.

There was no benefit in merely winning a battle.

Behind the First Heaven Elder stood even more terrifying figures—the Vice Hall Master and the Soul Hall Master, Hun Miesheng.

At his current strength, Gu He was far from being able to contend with them.

Carefully, he stored the spatial jade slip into his system space.

Within the system space, even if there were hidden dangers within the jade slip, they would be completely neutralized.

This battle had not inflicted serious physical damage on Gu You.

His greatest loss was the destruction of the countless souls he had painstakingly collected, all of which had been obliterated by Gu He.

Additionally, the powerful Ten Thousand Soul Bone Armor, which he had spent years refining, had been shattered in this confrontation.

As a result, Gu You’s current combat strength had dropped significantly, now barely on par with an advanced Half-Saint.

Moreover, his own soul had suffered a severe blow.

Unfortunately, Gu He did not possess soul-healing pills.

To prevent the high-ranking members of the Soul Hall from noticing any weakness in Gu You’s condition, Gu He ultimately decided to grant him a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill to restore his heavily damaged soul.

With this in mind, Gu He willed it into existence, and a vibrant green pill, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance, appeared in his hand.

A surge of immense energy pulsed from within the pill.

"A Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill!"

Gu You’s heart trembled in shock as he gazed at the pill in Gu He’s hand.

The next moment, Gu He handed the powerful pill over.

"Gu You, consume this pill. It should restore you to your peak state, but the souls you lost can never be recovered. Do not reveal your true combat strength," Gu He warned as he passed the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill.

"Thank you, Master! I will remember your command!"

Gu You, overwhelmed with gratitude, accepted the pill respectfully and responded with unwavering loyalty.

Gu You wasted no time after receiving the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill.

Without hesitation, he placed the green pill into his mouth.

As soon as it touched his tongue, the pill dissolved into a pure green liquid energy that flowed down his throat and spread throughout his entire body.

Almost immediately, an immense yet gentle energy erupted within him.

Under the influence of this energy, both his physical injuries and soul damage began to recover at an astonishing speed.

Since Gu You’s injuries were not severe, a large portion of the pill’s energy remained unused even after fully healing him.

This residual energy surged through his body, unexpectedly loosening the bottleneck of his long-stagnant cultivation realm.

Heaven and earth energy rapidly gathered around him.

"He’s actually about to break through to a true One-Star Dou Saint!"

Gu He was slightly surprised as he sensed the changes in Gu You’s aura.

If Gu You succeeded in this breakthrough, the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill would not be wasted.

Reaching the level of a One-Star Dou Saint would elevate Gu You’s status within the Soul Hall.

With a higher rank, his efficiency in executing Gu He’s commands would also improve.

As the surrounding energy of heaven and earth surged toward Gu You, Gu He and Xue He took a step back.

However, the massive energy stored within the pill was so overwhelming that Gu You’s breakthrough did not rely much on external forces.

Within just ten minutes, the advancement was complete.

The celestial phenomenon that had just begun dissipated just as quickly.

Gu He was pleased as he sensed the powerful aura of a One-Star Dou Saint emanating from Gu You.

Now that Gu You was fully under his control, Gu He retrieved another spatial jade slip.

This jade slip had been taken from Old Ghost Star Reacher.

It had the ability to summon the Ninth Heaven Elder of the Soul Hall—Mo Yu.

Gu He planned to deal with all of them in one go.

Without delay, he crushed the jade slip.

As it shattered, the surrounding space distorted.

A moment later, a pitch-black rift formed within the twisted void.

Before the spatial fissure fully appeared, both Gu He and Gu You concealed their auras.

Only Xue He released his energy completely.

Soon, a blue figure emerged from the dark rift.

It was an old man clad in a blue robe.

Even his hair and eyebrows were a faint blue.

His eyes shimmered like an endless ocean, brimming with boundless water-element energy.

This man was none other than Mo Yu, the Ninth Heaven Elder of the Soul Hall.

Upon realizing that only one person had arrived, Gu He felt a slight sense of regret.

"It seems the Eighth Heaven Elder, Qiu Di, didn’t come along with Mo Yu."

Without hesitation, he immediately ordered Gu You and Xue He to strike together and subdue Mo Yu.

"Fourth Brother? Why is it you? I thought something had happened to Star Reacher…"

Before Mo Yu could finish his sentence, a pair of withered hands silently landed on his shoulders.
