Guo Muyang's face turned red as he slapped away Lu Ren's hand with an angry glare, saying, "I, I am the Beidou Emperor, commanding billions, reigning supre over endless creatures. How dare you, dare you..."
As he spoke, the anger on Guo Muyang's face faded, and he stared at Lu Ren in a daze.
"I've been looking for you for thirty years!"
Lu Ren's heart was deeply moved. He opened his mouth but in the end, he just softly said, "Why didn't you seek out when you arrived?"
Guo Muyang slightly lifted his chin, "The joys and sorrows of humanity are too cheap. I've already found my path, and now I simply need to continue walking down it, and eventually, I will attain what I desire."
Lu Ren succinctly summarized, "In other words, the reason you didn't want to find was that you thought you were so excellent that you had to surpass to stand before with dignity, and then seek revenge?"
Guo Muyang snorted coldly, not speaking, turning his head aside, unwilling to look at Lu Ren.
Lu Ren laughed helplessly, "If you hadn't fallen into enlightennt, where your spirit intuitively engaged the Heaven and Earth Spiritual chanism to strongly condense a Taoism Fruit, I would never have known you traveled such a vast distance to reach here."
He knew very well that the Beidou Emperor Star was extrely far from here. Even during the Mythical Era, advanced cultivators on a life star would need the aid of a starry sky-level Great Transposition Array for teleportation to roam among the stars.
And given the distance from the Beidou Emperor Star, at least over twenty transfers were necessary. Even with the ancient routes left by Sakyamuni and Li Er, the journey surely involved many hardships.
This path of tyrannical extremity fully illustrates that since leaving Beidou, the path Guo Muyang took was almost as if the entire world was an enemy, clashing against mountains of corpses and seas of blood, independently slaughtering countless people, consolidating his will, and forming a path of ultimate dominion where all paths belong to and all will submit to .
The experience required to nurture such courage is beyond ordinary imagination.
Guo Muyang finally cald his mind, "I have been here for ten years already."
Lu Ren raised an eyebrow, subconsciously glancing at Guo Muyang's hair, tied up and adorned, no longer able to ruffle it as he could when they were young.
People do grow up after all, for many things change as ti passes. The young girl before him, who once possessed a pure heart, has now beco an emperor who has slain millions, ruling over billions.
Seeing Lu Ren's slightly unfocused gaze, Guo Muyang's expression paused; after years of struggling and fighting in the outside world, how could she not know what Lu Ren wanted to do?
"Master... Master, I am now an emperor with True Immortal Power, ruling over a Beidou star."
As she spoke, she dusted off her garnts, her face indifferent, "Now that I have attained enlightennt, I finally have the qualification to transcend the mortal world."
Lu Ren asked, "Return with to reminisce about the old days?"
Guo Muyang shook her head without hesitation, "Previously, the Celestial Court's vanguard general Bai Sheng and the Buddhist Sect's Great Shizhi arrived successively, which already explains enough. I still have a long road to practice. If I return with you, my path will be entirely halted."
Lu Ren nodded in agreent, because Guo Muyang had already paved her own way, forcibly taking her back would indeed sever her path.
After so thought, Lu Ren detailed the Life Star thod he learned from Ji Quanzhen to Guo Muyang, whose eyes sparkled.
"Just now, I have already found my Life Star, entered a state where I can receive Starlight Infusion, thoroughly transforming my Essence, Qi, and Spirit into True Immortal Power."
"Is it the Beidou Emperor Star?"
Facing Lu Ren's inquiry, Guo Muyang nodded slightly, "Though it's far away, there's still a continuous gathering of starlight."
Upon saying this, Guo Muyang's brows furrowed slightly, "What puzzled was that despite the distance, the star power poured from Beidou showed no signs of diminishing."
Lu Ren was not surprised at this, only nodded, "Back then, the Jade Emperor set the Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Stars in the Celestial Orbit not just by marking planets, but by defining Three Hundred and Sixty-Five star regions, connecting them through the Array of Celestial Stars, layering them to potentially amplify the power of starlight, nourishing this land."
In saying this, even Lu Ren couldn't help but praise, "This undoubtedly is a man-made Enlightennt Land, nourished by the Celestial Stars over the years, even ordinary land would have transford into Divine Land, if not for the sudden arrival of those Outer Old Gods and their pollution severely affecting this starry sky.
I believe the Jade Emperor and Tathagata could likely have reached the chance of enlightennt, avoiding delay until now."
After conversing with Lu Ren, Guo Muyang still refused to return, insisting on paving her own road. In the end, she looked at Lu Ren in a daze and said, "Master, can you turn back to how you were in Beidou?"
Lu Ren was slightly taken aback, then smiled, as his blood and flesh contracted and Qi and Blood transford, Thick Earth Essence Qi swirling around and gathering into a garnt around him.
Seeing the familiar image from her mory, Guo Muyang could no longer maintain her composure, and she rushed forward to hug Lu Ren, crying loudly.
"Do you know how I've lived all these years? I searched for you in Beidou, nearly turning the whole star over, yet never found a trace of you!"
While speaking, Guo Muyang was crying. At this mont, she had shed her imperial disguise, as if becoming the little girl with a pure heart once again, spilling her grievances and complaints.
Lu Ren, now without the Great Witch Body, was just over one ter and ninety centiters tall, pinned in Guo Muyang's arms unable to move, feeling the soft touch on his cheek, his expression was extrely embarrassed, but eventually he gently patted Guo Muyang's back.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
After a long pause, once Guo Muyang composed herself, she noticed their rather awkward posture.
She stepped back from Lu Ren, casually dusting off her non-existent garnts, pouting, "Master, you won't ntion what just happened, right?"
Transforming back into the Great Witch Body, Lu Ren rubbed his chin, "I'm not so sure. I've recently taken a liking to wine, but get drunk easily. When drunk, I often boast, perhaps I'll speak of my disciple who might not fully respect their master."
Pausing, Lu Ren teased, "I distinctly rember there was a little girl once, always clamoring to marry ."
Saying this made Guo Muyang blush a deep red, yet she did not back down, straightened her neck, and looked at Lu Ren resolutely, "What I said back then still stands, be it in the past, now, or the future."
