Gu Yu used the power of the Soul Crystal to nurture his Second Primordial Spirit and found a young body to inhabit, which is Chen Yue. Chen Yue's consciousness is his own, indistinguishable from it.
He spent more than half a year infiltrating a small Taoist sect in Sichuan, to establish a background for his identity. Xiaozhai's Great Thunder Deity was sealed; at most, it would feel something was off, but would never identify his real face.
