Chapter 330: Chapter 24: Seeds of the New World (Major Chapter, Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

If Gu Shen was the lord of this world,

he would fashion this spiritual world into an immaculate pure land!

The floating Blazing Fire Flame, meandering somewhat tiredly in the air under the heavy rain, slowly descended onto the palm of Gu Shen.

Clearly, it could not fulfill Gu Shen’s wish to sprinkle out trees, flowers, grass, people... This was a grand aspiration, more like an "unattainable Divine Miracle" existing only in imagination.

A pure land?

How could there be a pure land in this world?

Even if he had a power a thousand times greater composed of Extraordinary Essence gathered in his hands, he still could not achieve such a "construction".

"It seems my wish was a bit too grand..."

Gu Shen reined in his spirit; this desolate, barren wilderness now had light and rain, which indeed was the first step in birthing chaos; he had no discontentment.

The enlightenment from the Grain Rain Volume had awakened him.

Mr. Gu Changzhi asked him to understand "Spring Breathing"... surely to let him realize that he must forge his own path!

Chu Ling’s figure slowly consolidated... and only after a few seconds did she reappear in this "brand new" spiritual world.

She still did not understand why the Spiritual Link was interrupted until her consciousness fully reformed and she noticed the new face of Four Seasons Wilderness, then she realized what had happened with the interpretation of the Grain Rain Volume.

Before her lay a wasteland, primitive wilderness.

Compared to the "tranquil" wilderness bestowed by Gu Changzhi, it seemed much more desolate, now with spring rain pouring down, the heavens and earth dimmed... looking closely for a while, one could sense a unique pleasure.

This was an inexplicable and indescribable ambiance.

It was like... witnessing the birth of a "new world".

"Am I seeing things..."

Chu Ling whispered in disbelief.

She knew well what this meant.

In the past, the geniuses from the East Continent Federation who had the opportunity to envision the Grain Rain Volume, simply needed to find and follow the sensations left by Mr. Gu Changzhi... invariably, they would complete the interpretation of Grain Rain Volume.

They would see that familiar wilderness.

They would see the descending heavy rain!

They would see the revival of spring!

But Gu Shen... he had abandoned the path trodden by countless others, opting instead for his own "muddy route," utilizing Grain Rain Volume to directly create his own "spiritual world."

Even though it was barren.

But... this was a real envisioned world.

Was this the act of a genius, or the action of a madman?

"Phew..."

Gu Shen let out a tired sigh as he looked at the ravaged wilderness, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Although this place was hard to equate with the pure land he had imagined, appearing rather like a desolate and abandoned land.

But, at least it was his own!

The Blazing Fire Flame also seemed very content as it exhaled a small wisp of flame, its tiny flaming tail flicking as it tugged at Gu Shen... seemingly trying to pull him somewhere.

Where is it trying to lead me?

Gu Shen was a bit surprised, his Blazing Fire Flame appeared to be growing more sentient... He did not resist but instead followed the guidance of the flame, slowly taking a few steps forward, eventually reaching a pit.

Gu Shen squinted, silently observing the final destination that the small flame had pointed to.

In the mud lay a seed.

A seed covered in dirt.

This was what the original "Four Seasons Wilderness" lacked.

With the seed, spring held significance.

...

...

"The Grain Rain Volume... is radiating a light I’ve never seen before!"

Inside the Taoist School, someone exclaimed.

"It is said that when Bai Wudi from the Bai Family interpreted the Grain Rain Volume, a similar marvel occurred... an antique scroll burst forth with a pure white radiance, indicating a perfect alignment with the visionary’s intentions, marking a one-in-a-million Dream Interpreter!"

"But why, when Gu Shen interprets the Grain Rain Volume... does the ancient scroll burst out with black light?"

A youth sitting cross-legged, immersed in the envisioned world of the Grain Rain Volume.

Gu Shen did not know.

At this moment the parchment scroll in his palm was slowly releasing and permeating pitch-black radiance... this swath of black light was strikingly eye-catching, as if it possessed a strange magic power, with just one glance one couldn’t look away.

"Fatty... what does this black light mean?" Gu Nanfeng squinted, asking in a deep voice.

The cultivation he practiced was the "Penetration Technique" of the ancient cultivators from North Continent, and having been away from Changye for too long, Gu Nanfeng, still a youth when he left, was not familiar with the cultivation system of breathing techniques in the East Continent Federation.

"Very powerful..."

Luo Yu furrowed his brows, "Without a doubt, anyone who can cause an ancient scroll to manifest such a phenomenon is a top-tier genius."

"I still can’t figure out, however, why there is black light."

Fatty Luo muttered puzzledly, "According to that kid from the Bai Family’s records, his 48-minute interpretation of the Grain Rain Volume... at that time, the spiritual radiance triggered was a brilliant white. Later on, those analysis experts from the Security Committee repeatedly watched recordings and believed this was an interpretation of the soul core signifying rebirth and hope from Grain Rain Volume."

"Bullshit." Gu Nanfeng spoke succinctly, dousing it with cold water, "Wouldn’t that black then signify destruction and despair? Did Gu Shen inadvertently interpret it in reverse?"

"I think so too... Those damn experts are just bloviating." Fatty Luo quickly agreed, scratching his head awkwardly, murmuring, "Probably those irresponsible bastards took money from the Bai Family, specifically to create a buzz for Bai Xiu."
