Chapter 332: Chapter 25: Waiting for You at Qingzhong (Seeking Monthly Pass)

"A seed..."

Gu Shen squatted down, pushed aside the mud, and slowly stretched out his finger to pick up the dirt-covered seed.

"This was something not found in the Four Seasons Wilderness."

Chu Ling, recalling the vast expanse of wilderness, softly remarked, "You have carved out a path of your own."

"No..."

Gu Shen shook his head.

He remembered meeting the Tomb Guardian in a vast wilderness, within that spiritual world where an ancient tree stood tall!

If that was the "Four Seasons Wilderness" created by Gu Changzhi, then it meant... there were seeds there as well.

However, in that wilderness, there was only one tree.

Did Mr. Gu Changzhi plant only one tree?

Or was it that... he could only plant one tree?

The answers to these questions were unknown.

Gu Shen slowly withdrew from his "enlightenment" state.

He opened his eyes and saw hundreds of complex expressions from the entire Taoist School...

"Fifty-one minutes." Chu Ling smiled, "In the records of enlightenment performance available from the prison, it ranks second."

If I remember correctly... any enlightenment time within two hours could be considered having S-grade potential for a Transcendent.

Gu Shen gently let out a sigh of relief. Although he had spent some time in meditation, this enlightenment performance... fully deserved an S-grade evaluation.

It also somewhat increased Zhou Jiren’s prestige.

However, a score of fifty-one minutes... was only ranked second?

"Who is first?" he asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The Bai family, Bai Xiu." Chu Ling spoke gravely, "An unaffiliated maverick... He hasn’t joined any of the three institutes, and has also rejected being absorbed by any Extraordinary Organization, due to the constraints of the Bai family, the East Continent Federation has chosen to turn a blind eye to this top genius."

"Bai Xiu..."

Hearing this name, Gu Shen instinctively looked towards a pair of siblings not far away.

The Bai Family Witch and her brother, the second-in-command of the prison.

This glance naturally did not escape the other party’s perception.

Bai Lu sharply returned the look, but Gu Shen quickly moved his gaze away. She slightly annoyed, disdainfully said, "Is this an intimidation... What’s so great about comprehending the ’Grain Rain Volume’?"

Bai Chen suddenly asked, "You seem very concerned about this young man?"

Realizing she had spoken too much, Bai Lu quickly shook her head and said, "I’m just checking out his future opponent for Little Xiuzi."

"I must remind you, regardless of what you were planning before... you now need to think it over again, it’s best not to provoke Gu Shen." Bai Chen said with a grave expression, "Behind him are the Grand Judge and the Zhao Family from Da Du."

Bai Lu was slightly taken aback.

"The Zhao Family is a thing of the past... it would be more appropriate to replace it with the Flower Flag."

Bai Chen glanced at the corner, saying, "See that woman over there? That’s Lu Nanzhi’s sister, Lu Nanjin, Gu Shen’s senior sister, as far as I know, the Flower Flag values ​​Gu Shen highly."

That beautiful woman holding a wooden sword?

The Bai Family Witch narrowed her eyes slightly, thoughtfully.

Of course, she knew Lu Nanzhi.

The new master of the Flower Flag nowadays.

The Great Capital Flower Flag possessed top Extraordinary Technology of the East Continent, as well as powerful economic strength that could influence an entire region.

This S-grade of the Judgement Institute, unremarkable yet untraceable, with records sealed by the council... Except for a very few high-ranking individuals like Bai Chen who could glimpse the Great Capital files, Changye had basically no one who knew about the close relationship now between Gu Shen and the Flower Flag.

"Thanks for the reminder." The Witch smiled interestly, "I will consider it carefully."

...

...

"Grasping the ’Grain Rain Volume’... in only fifty-one minutes."

Gong Zi was somewhat flabbergasted.

He scratched his cheek, truly not expecting this S-grade to be so fierce, for the enlightenment happened so quickly... that the gathering crowd inside and outside the Taoist School had just arrived, when it already began to disperse.

The crowd was surging.

The images in the snow were also violently shaking, no longer stable.

This was directly related to the "stealing" projection through spiritual power and was also relevant to the surrounding Extraordinary Aura and the rate of fluctuation in the images.

The chubby Mu Nan waved his hand to dissipate his spiritual power.

He adjusted his glasses and sighed, "The deep water area forum has exploded."

Yet another top-tier genius had emerged!

The appearance of this S-level individual was too abrupt, like a bomb suddenly aimed at Changye, suddenly informing everyone that such a youngster had been discovered and was on his way to Changye!

And by the time he arrived, he had already distinguished himself.

"Fifty-one minutes... another Bai Xiu." Gong Zi’s expression changed, sweat oozing from his forehead, said, "With this newcomer’s battle, do the others even stand a chance?"

"He’s not the same as Bai Xiu."

The chubby man thought for a moment and said, "The ’Spiritual Radiance’ he displayed when comprehending the Grain Rain Volume was black, while Bai Xiu’s was white."

At this, Gong Zi was slightly startled.

"Right..." he frowned and pondered, "Why is his Spiritual Radiance so strange during comprehension? It’s pitch black and looks rather eerie..."

"The color isn’t important, he doesn’t seem like a bad guy." The chubby man grinned and said, "Anyway... I don’t like Bai Xiu, I like Gu Shen."

...

...

The Grand Judge personally took the Grain Rain Volume handed over by Gu Shen.

He gazed deeply at the young man before him... after comprehending the ancient scroll, Gu Shen’s aura had become even more restrained, showing not the slightest inkling of his Extraordinary Aura progressing even a tiny bit.

But undoubtedly.

Gu Shen had successfully assimilated the second volume of breathing techniques.

It was the first time in many years that Mr. Shan had encountered such a situation, the other party being a young man of low realm, who had not even fully grasped his Extraordinary Ability.

Yet no matter how he looked, it seemed as if there was a layer of fog.

Unclear.

"Thank you."

Gu Shen bowed, feeling relieved.

The most important thing to do in Changye... although there were some twists and turns, the result was still smooth.

After assimilating two volumes of breathing techniques, he clearly felt his spiritual power broaden, as if his entire field of vision had invisibly expanded.

Insect Awakening and Grain Rain merged into "Spring Breathing."

At this moment, with every breath Gu Shen took, he felt vitality bursting within his chest.

The speed of his spiritual power cultivation had doubled again!

He vaguely felt... if he were to return to the river banks or Yuan Dan Street months ago, facing Qu Shui or Shi Li, the lethality and duration that Truth Ruler could unleash would increase geometrically.

He was now eager to find a secluded place to see what his Spiritual World looked like.

Unfortunately.

Things were unsettled.

Lan Qie’s voice carrying Gu Nanfeng’s words reached both Gu Shen and Mr. Shan’s ears at the same time.

"Brother Gu... Master Qianye wishes to meet you."

This sentence was transmitted only to the two of them.

With ulterior motives.

Gu Shen was startled and asked reflexively, "Master Qianye wants to see me... in the Spiritual World, or?"

"In Qingzhong."

Gu Nanfeng said solemnly, "She is waiting for you in Qingzhong!"
