# Chapter 1487: Eternal Image Stone
Yue Shen Realm, Divine Emperor's Bedchamber.
Yun Che, escorted by Jin Yue, was already on his way back to Yin Xue Realm.
Back then in Zhou Tian God Realm, Xia Qingyue had guessed that Yun Che might be harboring Dark Profound Force. Later, when the Demon Emperor returned to the world and Yun Che's possession of the Heavenly Poison Pearl was simultaneously exposed… From that moment, a special method of retaliating against Qianye Ying'er had taken shape in her mind.
After Yun Che came back, she had directly taken him away.
Now, everything had gone as she wished. That immensely powerful and extremely venomous Qianye Ying'er had become Yun Che's thousand-year slave.
As long as she was willing and didn't care about the consequences, within these thousand years, she could take Qianye Ying'er's life at any time, completely avenging her hatred.
But clearly, she didn't intend to do so.
Although everything was orchestrated by her, the poison power of the Heavenly Poison Pearl, the control of Dark Profound Force, and the intimidation of the Heaven's Calamity Demon Emperor all came from Yun Che. So, this time, it was more about avenging Yun Che for the "Buddhist Soul Death-Pleading Seal" from back then, while also finding him an extremely powerful protective charm. As for herself, at most, it was just venting her anger.
In the bedchamber, only Xia Qingyue remained. Even though everything went smoothly, for some reason, she felt a bit uneasy.
In the silence, she paced slowly. When she approached the palace door, she suddenly stopped. After a brief pause, she slowly turned around.
A pitch-black figure stood silently on the floor she had just stepped on. A tall stature, a face full of scars, and a pair of eyes gleaming with black light, like an endless night that could devour all things.
Jie Tian Mo Di!
Xia Qingyue slowly bowed down: "Xia Qingyue of Yue Shen Realm pays respects to Senior Demon Emperor."
"…" Jie Yuan's face was cold. Her presence made the entire bedchamber space incomparably gloomy and silent. She looked at the woman before her and said coldly, "Using my prestige to scheme against others, yet now that you see me, you are not afraid?"
With Jie Yuan's perception, she could tell that the woman before her was not suppressing fear or pretending, but truly fearless, astonishingly indifferent.
"At worst, it's just death. What is there to fear?" Xia Qingyue said softly.
Jie Yuan squinted, her black light chilling. Apart from Yun Che, she was interested in a human for the first time: "The Nine-Xuan Exquisite Body and the Ice-Snow Glazed Heart appearing in the same person—such a freak never appeared even in my era. Yet in this age with thin and turbid energy, it appears in a mortal woman. Even I am enlightened."
Xia Qingyue: "…"
Reaching out her arm toward Xia Qingyue, she spoke with a voice that pierced the heart with cold: "Although the Moon God Divine Power on you disgusts me greatly, I am very interested in you as a person!"
Black light flashed in her palm, and a mass of black air descended from the sky, enveloping Xia Qingyue.
Xia Qingyue felt as if she had fallen into an ice prison. Her body trembled and struggled, but in her heart, Jie Yuan's voice rang out: "If you want your soul to be damaged, go ahead and struggle!"
"…" Xia Qingyue's struggling slowed, and she resignedly closed her eyes.
Her soul was rapidly swept by a dark aura… But immediately, this dark aura, which directly invaded the deepest part of her soul, suddenly congealed and then dissipated into nothing in an instant.
"You…" Jie Yuan's hand still stopped in midair, but her face underwent a drastic change, and her pitch-black demon eyes were fixed for a long time.
"?" Xia Qingyue weakly took a step back, breathing heavily.
She knew that Jie Tian Mo Di was reading her memories, but she didn't understand why she reacted like this.
"Xia Qingyue," Jie Yuan called her name, "you can be considered the most tragic person in fate that I have ever seen in my life… Even I, who have experienced the Outer Chaos calamity, feel pity for you!"
Xia Qingyue: "…"
"What's even more tragic is that after finally noticing something, you chose to comply?" Jie Yuan's demon eyes darkened further. "Is it because you think it's impossible to resist, or…"
She didn't continue. Xia Qingyue stood upright and said in a low voice, "What is Senior talking about? Qingyue cannot understand."
"Heh, do you truly not understand, or do you not want to understand?" Jie Yuan let out a faint laugh. "But thanks to you, I now know a secret I shouldn't know… Heh, fate is truly wonderful, truly wonderful."
Xia Qingyue: "??"
A secret she shouldn't know? Xia Qingyue was completely bewildered by Jie Yuan's words.
Jie Yuan turned around. Just as Xia Qingyue thought she was about to leave, she heard her let out an inexplicable sigh, and her voice softened: "Come with me to a place."
…………
Returning to Yin Xue Realm, Jin Yue sent Yun Che off the Mysterious Ark. Looking at the endless white world before her, she was momentarily stunned, not blinking for a long time.
"Jin Yue, this should be your first time in Yin Xue Realm, right?" Yun Che said cheerfully. "How about staying for a few more days? Anyway, Qingyue didn't say when you have to go back."
Jin Yue withdrew her gaze and gently shook her head: "This servant thanks Young Master for his kindness, but being away from my master for long makes me uneasy in my heart."
"This servant takes her leave… May Young Master Yun be safe."
With some reluctance but without hesitation, Jin Yue left. Yun Che felt a bit sour in his heart… Only gone for such a short time and she's already uneasy? How did Xia Qingyue train these maidservants?
But fortunately, I have Xian'er by my side. Hmph, I don't need to envy!
Thinking of the completely obedient, charming, and endlessly admiring Feng Xian'er, Yun Che couldn't help but grin. Although it had only been a few days since leaving Lan Ji Star, he already desperately wanted to go back.
And with the current situation, he no longer needed to be as extremely cautious as before when traveling between Lan Ji Star and here.
Returning to Bing Huang God Sect, he went straight to the Holy Hall.
In the hall, only Mu Feixue was present; Mu Xuanyin was not to be seen.
Mu Feixue sat quietly in the hall, like a proud blooming snow lotus, breathtakingly beautiful and piercingly cold. She only gave Yun Che a faint glance when he returned, then withdrew her gaze.
"Feixue," Yun Che looked around and asked, "Where is Master?"
"Master is in cultivation," Mu Feixue said. "You won't be able to see her until the day after tomorrow."
"Oh," Yun Che responded and casually sat down, silently digesting everything that had happened these past few days. Too many thoughts surged together, making his mind chaotic for a while before it calmed down a bit.
The Demon Emperor's return…
Mo Li and Cai Zhi in the Tai Chu Divine Realm…
How to face Mo Li, who had turned into the Evil Infant, and how to make her accepted by the world…
What exactly was going on with Shen Xi? It couldn't be that the Dragon King had learned of that "secret," right? But if Shen Xi didn't speak of it voluntarily, there was no way the Dragon King could know.
And for now, how to explain the matter of Qianye Ying'er to Master…
…………
Besides these, there was another seemingly bigger matter…
What gift should he prepare for Wuxin!
He never wanted to see that deeply disappointed and lost look on her face again.
And that feeling of breaking his promise to her was more uncomfortable than any previous broken promise… It was almost like committing an unforgivable mistake.
So, what should he give her…
Spirit jade, treasure artifacts, or divine crystals from the God Realm?
But those were all things that could be bought, too vulgar…
A Void Stone?
As he thought, he unconsciously took out the Void Stone, then silently put it back… Although it was a life-saving item and most suitable for Wuxin, this Void Stone was given by Cai Zhi. If he gave it to Wuxin and Cai Zhi found out, she would beat him to death.
Give her a weapon?
He scanned the Heavenly Poison Pearl with his spiritual sense… Those rare and beautiful swords had long been eaten clean by Hong'er. The remaining ones were not only unsuitable in appearance for a girl but also mostly beyond Wuxin's current ability to wield.
Maybe he could go to Yue Shen Realm another day? They should have some wonderful things there, right?
Or find something good from Qianye Ying'er? Hmm… unrealistic! Before going to Yue Shen Realm, Qianye Ying'er must have left all her good things in Fan Di God Realm, and most likely even sealed away her memories involving forbidden secrets.
Although Mu Feixue remained silent, her gaze occasionally stole a glance at Yun Che, watching him frown, grimace, and shake his head from time to time. It was indescribably strange, as if he was deeply troubled by something.
"What are you thinking about?" Her words escaped almost before she was conscious of them, and it was too late to take them back.
Yun Che turned his head and replied, "When I first came back here, I promised my daughter that I would definitely bring her a gift from the God Realm when I returned. But last time, because of Jie Tian Mo Di, I had to go back early, and I completely forgot about it."
Mu Feixue: "…"
"This time when I go back, I absolutely cannot forget. It's just that…" Yun Che scratched his head, "What should I give her?"
"This is my first time being a father, and I really can't figure out what a girl her age would like." Among his tangled thoughts, his eyes suddenly lit up, looking at Mu Feixue. "By the way, Feixue, you know the God Realm better than I do. Do you have any good ideas?"
Mu Feixue turned her jade-like face slightly, not meeting his gaze directly, and said coldly, "Have you heard of the Eternal Image Stone?"
"Eternal Image Stone?" Yun Che shook his head. "No."
"The Eternal Image Stone is a type of Mysterious Shadow Stone, used to imprint images." Mu Feixue's beautiful eyes shimmered with icy light as she spoke coolly: "Ordinary Mysterious Shadow Stones have a limited lifespan. The highest-grade Mysterious Shadow Stone can preserve an imprinted image for at most a thousand years. Unless it is re-imprinted before it decays, the image will dissipate after a thousand years. Additionally, even without external interference, ordinary Mysterious Shadow Stones have a small chance of suddenly breaking down, causing the imprinted image to disappear."
Listening to Mu Feixue's explanation, Yun Che pondered and asked, "The Eternal Image Stone you mentioned—from its name, can it achieve permanent imprinting?"
Mu Feixue slightly nodded: "People change every day, especially girls at her age. Once they grow up, they can never go back. Since your father-daughter relationship is so good, being able to forever preserve the appearance of you and her from every day… would be a very beautiful gift for her, wouldn't it?"
"…" Yun Che was moved. After a brief thought, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Where can I buy or find this kind of Eternal Image Stone?"
"The Eternal Image Stone is an ancient object, not something that can be formed in the present world. Therefore, it exists in very small numbers and is hard to find." Mu Feixue glanced at him.
Given the characteristics of the Eternal Image Stone, whoever obtained it would almost never pass it on to others. So obtaining one was indeed extremely difficult. Yun Che thought for a moment: "Then I'll go to Tianji Realm."
"No need." Mu Feixue said, "I just happen to have one here."
She extended her jade hand, and in her snow-white palm lay a small, round, lustrous white jade stone. Unlike ordinary Mysterious Shadow Stones, it showed an unusual ice-white color with a faint covering of icy light, as translucent and smooth as the snow-white skin of Mu Feixue's palm.
When his gaze touched it, Yun Che felt a very special aura—a hazy sense of "eternity," unfamiliar, special, yet truly existing.
Just as Yun Che was about to ask, Mu Feixue flicked her jade finger, and a white arc cut through the air. The Eternal Image Stone lightly fell into Yun Che's hand.
"It's yours." After saying that, she closed her eyes and focused, as if she had just done an insignificant thing.
A special touch, a mysterious aura, and faintly carrying the warmth of Mu Feixue's body… Yun Che subconsciously looked down: this is the stone that can imprint permanent images…
"Feixue, since the Eternal Image Stone is so precious, how can I…"
"It is useless to me," Mu Feixue said. "You saved my life before. Consider this as repayment."
Yun Che thought for a moment, then put away the Eternal Image Stone, smiled, and said, "Alright, I'll accept it. I believe Wuxin will definitely like it."
Mu Feixue did not respond, once again returning to cold silence.
