Aries Star Lord

"A beacon, almost, but not everyone is qualified to be a beacon."

The woman spoke indifferently.

She seemed to have not spoken to anyone for a long time, so she responded to the words from Gu Jinlai: "Many times, their existence can only guide His Majesty the Star Lord, allowing His Majesty to descend his True Spirit and temporarily contact the real world, so as not to completely forget the aura of the real world. I hope that you can truly bear His Majesty's true body from the spirit world."

His expression changed from Gu Jinlai the present.

The real body!?

A spirit who has transformed from True Spirit form into a spirit being!?

Without even needing to know, it must be an existence far more terrifying than the Crystallized True Spirit!

Gu Jinlai, the moment one moves, one must leave this area, which is both a plaza and an altar.

But when he was about to leave, he felt a powerful binding force sweep over him. In an instant, it was as if he had stepped into an area with a gravity a hundred or a thousand times greater, and even moving his body became extremely difficult.

"No! What's binding me isn't gravity, but my True Spirit! This is a domain-type soul technique! Like drawing a circle on the ground to imprison me, it interferes with my perception by shaking my True Spirit, making me think I can't move!"

Gu Jinlai quickly realized something, his True Spirit was activated, and a blazing sun appeared out of nowhere, radiating endless light and heat, even suppressing the brilliance of the altar-like square.

Sure enough, as he activated his True Spirit, the feeling of being bound by gravity that was hundreds or thousands of times stronger dissipated by most of it.

His movements were no longer restricted.

"Truly pure spirituality. No wonder Ziyang said that your excellence surpasses that of the nineteen inheritors he has met in previous years, and that you will definitely be able to contain the true power of the Star Lord, allowing His Majesty the Star Lord to return to the mortal world in his entirety."

The woman's face lit up with surprise. "I'm really looking forward to your performance next."

As they spoke, a beam of light split off from the tower that had been shooting out a thousand-meter-long pillar of light, shooting straight toward the direction where Gu Jinlai was located.

Gu Jinlai was about to dodge, but he discovered that the beam of light wasn't aimed at him, but rather...

The altar at his feet.

Having obtained the energy of this pillar of light, the altar's radiance, which had been suppressed by the core Gu Jinlai the Great Sun, shone brightly once more, and the omnipresent gravitational binding reappeared on Gu Jinlai's body.

"Expect..."

These two words have been uttered Gu Jinlai.

Ziyang has mentioned more than once before that he is eagerly hoping to welcome the Lord of the Aries Palace.

He had initially assumed that the new ruler of Aries was referring to him, but he never expected...

"So, the inheritance of the Aries Star Palace has always been a conspiracy. Tianlongmu carries the Aries Star Palace, wandering the world day after day, just to select suitable people to become the guiding light of the Aries Star Palace, so as to prevent it from completely losing its way in the Star Realm? Moreover, over the years, the Aries Star Palace's three trials have not been without successes. A total of nineteen people succeeded beforehand, and they..."

This has been understood Gu Jinlai.

He finally understood the source of the vague unease he had been feeling.

Millennium!

No matter how remarkable the lineage of the Aries Star Palace is, it's impossible that for a whole thousand years no one has been able to pass the test it set.

No matter how diligent Ziyang and Tianlongmu are, they shouldn't be burdened with the responsibility of searching for the inheritor of the Aries Star Palace for thousands of years!

The reason for all of this is because of the Aries star.

The ultimate meaning of this so-called inheritance is actually to find beacons that can carry the True Spirit power of the Aries Star Lord, so that he can occasionally come to the real world to recognize the way and ensure that he will not lose his way in the spirit world.

Unfortunately, although he had a feeling about it, he couldn't believe it because of the power of the Heavenly Dragon Wood.

He had no choice but to step through the star gate.

Coupled with the fact that the inheritance of Aries Palace has thousands of years of credibility, he was lucky in his heart.

Result...

A thousand-year-old reputation, yet it was a lie meticulously woven over a thousand years.

He thought of Ziyang's last words when he stepped into the Star Gate.

"I will wait for your return here."

This is going to be...

In case.

Do not let any news that is unfavorable to Aries spread.

To silence them.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the real spirit world surged, as if some enormous creature was about to return. The ripples it created as it moved were clearly visible even to the naked eye.

"Your Majesty, the Star Lord has sensed our summons and is about to descend."

The woman became somewhat agitated. "Rejoice! Your most glorious moment is about to begin!"

"You think you can suppress me with your soul techniques!"

His expression Gu Jinlai.

The next moment, a burst of brilliant light erupted from the core of the Great Sun. This light, carrying a heat that could melt away all spirituality, once again suppressed the light on the altar.

"You want to use your own strength to fight against the power of Qingyang Valley."

The woman looked at Gu Jinlai was still struggling, and found it somewhat amusing. "In its heyday, Qingyang Valley could even suppress the spirituality of the Creator. Even now, after a thousand years of decay, its power is still beyond what a mere Heavenly Lord like you can contend with."

As soon as she finished speaking, another beam of light shot out from the triangular, spike-like tower, and instantly, the binding power of the altar reached a new high.

Gu Jinlai, some have even felt that they can no longer stand upright and wish they could just lie on the ground.

But that's not the most dangerous part.

The most dangerous thing is that, as spiritual fluctuations continue to surge in the true spirit world, one...

Demonic Spirit!

A gigantic creature that looked remarkably similar to Demonic Spirit, but was more transparent and whose light was clearer and purer, appeared in the "perception" of the Gu Jinlai.

This creature, whose size is nearly a kilometer, vaguely resembles the mythical beast Bai Ze.

At this moment, he was bathed in starlight, stepping on countless rays of light made of spirituality, and was unconsciously "drawn" over.

Lead!

Just like using bait to lure prey.

He didn't sense much fluctuation in thought, reason, or consciousness from this demonic spirit that resembled Demonic Spirit innate divine beast Bai Ze...

So much so that the only way to get him to come from somewhere in the spirit world was to "guide" him.

This is the Aries ruler?!

The Aries Star Lord has completely transformed into a spirit world being, and is even about to lose his way in the spirit world, soon to become a part of it!?

My mind was shaken, both Gu Jinlai.

At this moment, the Aries Star Lord seemed to "smell" his presence...

That aura...

It is the level of spiritual activity.

Or rather, the flashes of inspiration that occur when ideas and concepts collide.

Just like the Rising Dragon Pass and the True Dragon Pass...

These two tests assess a Daoist master's theoretical knowledge and inspiration.

Only a celestial master with rich theories, boundless imagination, and unparalleled inspiration can continuously radiate spiritual light, attracting the lost Aries star lord to the spirit world and "leading" him here.

Just like bait must be delicious.

As the Aries ruler was drawn in, bursts of starlight showered down.

The moment he came into contact with these starlight, Gu Jinlai felt an incredible surge of information rushing towards him, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, threatening to shatter his True Spirit.

This is the energy inherent in powerful spiritual beings.

This kind of impact is remarkably similar to the test at Qianlong Pass.

"The Aries Star Lord's Three Trials..."

Gu Jinlai the Aries Star Lord, who was nearly a thousand meters tall in his "perception," he felt a deep sense of his own insignificance.

Standing before such an ancient creator, his True Spirit as the Heavenly Lord was so weak that he had to exert all his strength just to resist the spiritual energy emanating from him.

If we were to confront the true form of such a terrifying being head-on...

It can be easily crushed into powder.

"Good!"

At this moment, the woman's eyes were filled with surprise. "His Majesty will soon be able to confirm your aura, and he will remember his true identity and origins..."

As she spoke, she activated another array.

Instantly, the Gu Jinlai spirit world shifted, with countless spiritual fluctuations containing numerous images emerging.

I've had a slight understanding of it from Gu Jinlai...

In the dim light, there seemed to be fragments of memories of a human exorcist growing up at different times?

This human exorcist...

Their gaze shifted to the enormous spirit being from the Gu Jinlai world.

Ruled by Aries.

And it was by "seeing" the images contained in these spiritual fluctuations that a ripple called "thought" arose in the Aries Star Lord, who originally had no fluctuations in thought or consciousness.

He quietly "watched" these spiritual fluctuations, seemingly deep in thought.

As he pondered, his consciousness and thought processes gradually increased.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Thoughts surge Gu Jinlai.

He couldn't withstand the power of Qingyang Valley.

He couldn't even retreat back to the Astral Gate.

Moreover, even if he did retreat to the Star Gate, Zi Yang and Tian Long Mu, who were blocking the way outside, would definitely not remain indifferent.

They had already confiscated his Qiankun Ring beforehand, suppressing all variables to the minimum. He simply couldn't resist a top-tier being like Tianlongmu, who could be called a great Divine Ability being.

The only way to break this deadlock...

The gaze of Gu Jinlai has fallen upon the images recorded by those spiritual fluctuations.

"These spiritual fluctuations are the complete memories of the Aries Star Lord. This woman used these memories to help the Aries Star Lord, who was lost in the spiritual realm, find himself again. It is no exaggeration to say that this place of inheritance is the complete inheritance of the Aries Star Lord."

His thinking, Gu Jinlai, was incredibly fast. "As long as he can observe these memories, he will have experienced the entire life of the Aries Star Lord. At that time, he will naturally understand all the events related to him. He may even be able to find out how he established the Green Sheep Valley and thus find a way to break the deadlock."

Immediately, his gaze swiftly turned towards sensing the various spiritual fluctuations.

At this moment, it seemed that the Aries ruler finally "thought" something.

"I am... the head of the twelve seats of the Holy Land... the Lord of Aries Star."

A spiritual wave, as resounding as a great bell, emanated from the Aries Star Lord.

The shock and impact on the spiritual realm was countless times stronger than the roar of the Spirit Lord.

If there were Heavenly Sovereigns nearby at this moment, even a Heavenly Sovereign whose True Spirit has crystallized would likely have his True Spirit shattered by this spiritual impact.

Even those who have reached the third step of the Heavenly Monarch realm are not immune.

Even though he had clashed with the Spirit Lord more than once Gu Jinlai, and his True Spirit strength far surpassed that of an ordinary third-step Heavenly Lord, his True Spirit Crystal still showed a large number of visible cracks.

But at that moment, no one cared about his life or death.

The woman bowed to the Aries Star Lord with an excited expression. "Great Star Lord... Your servant, Yu Xin, the twelfth Palace Master of Bai Ze Palace, pays homage to you and welcomes your return. May your divine light shine forever, and may your will be forever great."

This storyline marks a new phase that connects the past and the future, so I'm releasing it all at once.
