Chapter 178 - 138: Acquiring the Taoist Sword to Slash the Rosy Clouds
After an unknown period of time, the golden light dissipated, and Chi Yu Zi regained consciousness. She sat up, scratched her head, and said with a naive smile, "Most likely that’s it; now the little distance that you and I had narrowed is gone again."
But in fact, it wasn’t. As she said, it was only a small step, an extremely tiny step closer to the undying Taoist Body.
However, Gu Wen was at the Fourth Transition Golden Core in the Red Dust, while she had already taken the first step towards the undying Taoist Body—she won!
Gu Wen felt somewhat speechless but did not truly argue with this young girl.
Perhaps Chi Yu Zi was several times his age, but her emotional age was not necessarily high, at least not possessing an adult’s greasiness and sophistication, nor a strong sense of materialism.
For instance, she could be coaxed into feeding him the pills needed for breakthroughs. If Jun Yan were to replace him, he would probably just say, "Keep it up."
"Come over and help me up; I can hardly stand."
Gu Wen approached and gently helped Chi Yu Zi up, noticing new scars on her abdomen. He could sense an extremely faint Immortal Sword Qi remaining there.
These scars were just the surface, the residual power of the Immortal Sword was still present, albeit minute, but it was still an injury that could not heal.
It was inevitable for cultivators to suffer internal injuries in combat. That’s why, even though the Mahayana Realm theoretically has a lifespan of six thousand years, they generally only live about four thousand. All beings between heaven and earth are constantly being worn down, and injuries are undoubtedly the most severe.
