The Extreme Princess

Chapter 124 A clear conscience

"yes..."

"If the magic circle had not been activated, would the result have been better?"

The old man suddenly narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "If the magic circle is not activated, the entire Donghua City will fall into the control of the Tiansha Sect. Even the city lord is a member of the Tiansha Sect. What do you think?"

Gu Yue shook her head and said, "It's even worse!"

The old man nodded. "So you only focus on the hundreds of thousands of people who died in vain, but never open your eyes to see the nearly ten million people who are still alive in Donghua City. The dead should not die, and the living should live?"

Hearing this, Gu Yue said, "Senior, what you mean is that everything in this world does not necessarily have to be judged as right or wrong, just like choosing the lesser of two evils?"

"Yes..."

The old man shook his head again, "No."

Gu Yue was puzzled.

The old man chuckled and said, "Just have a clear conscience and an open mind!"

"Have a clear conscience?"

Gu Yue frowned and said, "Like those people from Tiansha Sect, can they act with a clear conscience?"

The old man frowned secretly.

This girl is usually very smart, but why is it that when it comes to some things, her brain is like a blockhead!

The old man frowned and said, "I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about the four words 'clear conscience'!"

"Having a clear conscience, whose heart is clear?"

At this point, the old man couldn't help but sneer and said, "Could your heart be the heart of heaven?"

Gu Yue opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

In the past few days, she has also wondered why the disciples of Tiansha Sect killed so many innocent lives, but they are still alive and well, and why their Taoism is not affected at all.

She suddenly remembered that from Yunling Lingyu all the way to the old man in front of her, the path of cultivation and ascension they talked about was a path full of selfishness.

It was not until this moment that she came to realize how horrible the word "selfishness" concealed!

Gu Yue was stunned and speechless.

In fact, after the old man's guidance, her inner depression had dissipated a lot.

After a long while, Gu Yue raised his head and asked, "Senior, the soul of a cultivator is condensed into reality, which is the divine soul. The soul of an ordinary person is weak and will dissipate after death. But can it return to the long river of time?"

"That's right..."

Gu Yue was in high spirits, "So, all living things can be reborn?"

The old man was slightly stunned, but soon he understood what Gu Yue meant. He sighed and said, "Even if there is, it is something that was reborn in the long river of time and can no longer be considered the original individual."

"It's okay..."

Gu Yue's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Senior, do you know if there is a method of rebirth in this world that can be used to save the souls of the dead?"

"No..."

The old man looked at Gu Yue strangely, as if he was amazed at her courage. "The way to the afterlife? To liberate the souls of the dead? Who can master such a method that goes against the way of heaven? Who dares to perform it?"

Gu Yue's expression was shocked.

Methods such as salvation were actually very common in the world she lived in in her previous life. Any "cultivator" would claim that they could save the souls of the dead.

However, in this world, in the eyes of Anyang Changzun, whose cultivation is almost heavenly, it is...

A technique that can counter the laws of nature!

The old man said unhappily: "If you want to save the souls of the dead, wipe out their merits and demerits, and benefit them in their afterlife, and completely control the river of time for your own use, then there is still a glimmer of hope!"

"Control the river of time by one's own strength? Heh..."

Gu Yue's eyes widened, and she was also shocked by the old man's words. She couldn't help but mutter, "To control the long river of time, what level of cultivation does it take?"

The old man curled his lips and said, "Anyway, from ancient times to the present, no cultivator has ever dared to touch the long river of time, or even dared to have such an idea!"

Hearing this, Gu Yue's eyes gradually dimmed again.

"But..."

Gu Yue's dim eyes suddenly became as bright as a candle flame and became bright again.

The old man raised his lips and said slowly: "If the souls of those who died unjustly are collected by others, they will not return to the long river of time..."

Gu Yue was shocked physically and mentally, and asked in a trembling voice: "Senior, do you mean that their souls were taken away by the Tiansha Sect?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Don't panic, don't be anxious. Their souls were indeed taken away by someone, but they were not taken away by the people of Tiansha Sect..."

Gu Yue stared at the old man, hoping that he could show her the way.

Seeing Gu Yue's expression, the old man felt helpless and said slowly: "There is a force in this world called Fengdu City, which specializes in collecting the remnants of souls..."

"Fengdu..."

Gu Yue muttered softly, frowned and asked: "What do they collect souls for?"

The old man curled his lips and said, "Fengdu City is also a major cultivation force, but they are extremely low-key. Ordinary people don't even know of their existence. As for their collection of souls..."

"I don't know much either."

Gu Yue's mind raced, wondering whether she should go to the Fengdu City that the old man mentioned.

But she was completely clueless about the situation in Fengdu City, and she had lost all her spiritual power...

“I want to go to Fengdu City...”

The old man narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

Gu Yue nodded slightly.

"Have you thought it through?" the old man asked.

"No..."

Gu Yue shook her head. "I actually have more important things waiting for me ahead, and my mother-in-law may not agree with me going..."

The old man's curiosity was aroused. "That crazy woman treated you like this, and you still obeyed her?"

Gu Yue sighed and said, "In fact, I know that all of this was done intentionally by my mother-in-law. My senior sister and I had already guessed it before it happened..."

"Every time my mother-in-law asked me to do something, it was incredible, but...

The old man asked, “But what?”

Gu Yue said seriously: "But every time I complete a task assigned by my mother-in-law, Yue'er also gains huge benefits, although the process is difficult..."

"If that crazy woman hadn't gotten there first..."

A trace of regret appeared on the old man's face.

If Gu Yue had been met by him first, his cultivation level would have been improving rapidly and easily by now.

Why is there a need for such hardship?

Gu Yue's eyes flickered, and a hint of cunning flashed across them.

"Yue'er has lived with her parents since she was a child. She has no other relatives around her. People say that grandparents and grandchildren are the closest relatives..."

At this point, Gu Yue's eyes turned red, "Perhaps it is because Yue'er lacks this thing in her subconscious mind that she..."

The old man paused while stroking his beard and said, "Your father has returned to Dingshan Palace..."

Gu Yue shook her head and sighed, "According to my father, my grandfather died on the battlefield when my father was still young, and my grandmother followed in his footsteps not long after..."
