Chapter 420: Chapter 87: The Silent Sacrificial (Long Chapter, Request for Monthly Tickets)

He had finished reviewing the archives.

Gu Shen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The pressure was immense.

The archives of Bai Xiu were truly perfect, the document detailed every mission he executed.

Not a single fault could be pointed out.

"It has been many years since Changye has seen such a perfect young genius,"

Gu Nanfeng had also looked through the archives, and he said seriously, "Before the establishment of the three institutions, Deep Sea had not set up a central database; our information was incomplete, and we did not really understand the past geniuses. Bai Xiu... can be said to be ’the most perfect’ human seen within the scope of East Continent since the establishment of the database."

The most perfect.

This term is quite excessive... but when used in relation to Bai Xiu, it does not seem inappropriate.

Unparalleled abilities and unparalleled stability.

This, is what perfection is!

"Thunder Realm Walker..." Gu Shen squinted his eyes and asked slowly, "What kind of ability is this?"

"We aren’t clear yet."

"In the Transcendent Genealogy Map, there is only one example of Bai Xiu, so there is no reference... And when he is out on missions, he has not shown his full strength. In the images captured by Deep Sea, the characteristic that Bai Xiu displayed is ’Thunder Power.’" Fatty Luo said seriously, "This name was coined by himself; after contemplating the third stage domain, he revised the information in the Deep Sea database, uploading ’Thunder Realm Walker’ as his title. Even the old man’s authority can only retrieve this much."

Hearing this, Gu Shen had already understood.

Bai Xiu had never fought with his full strength.

Probably only the influential figures of the Bai Family who guided him... and a very small number of close people, knew what the true capability of "Thunder Realm Walker" was.

But this was reasonable.

His own "Chi Huo," likewise, is a unique ability within the Transcendent Genealogy Map and does not have a special name; the information about it in the Deep Sea database is simply "Chi Huo," extremely high temperature, classified under Spiritual.

But in fact, the characteristics of Chi Huo’s "devouring essence" and "digestive abilities"... no one knows!

Gu Shen, would not easily expose it!

"So it seems... Thunder Realm Walker could possibly not just be a natural ability..." he kept a wary mind silently.

"You might not know the suppressive power Bai Xiu has in Changye."

Fatty Luo’s expression became grave as he said, "The three institutions, the five great families, all the young geniuses, have been suppressed by him alone... With an S-tier ability that can fight across levels and a uniquely rapid cultivation speed, if he participates in the rookie battles, then everyone else can only vie for second place!"

"However, a year ago, Bai Xiu left Changye... Many breathed a sigh of relief."

Fatty Luo shrugged his shoulders, "If you think about it carefully, it’s quite ironic. Only after Bai Xiu left did they have a chance to pursue a sliver of Flame Dream, to see if they had a possibility of becoming the future Divine Throne."

The Divine Throne... by right, should be the strongest being above tens of thousands of people!

Suppressed by Bai Xiu to the degree that they didn’t dare to raise their heads... Even if they obtained the "Flame Dream," could they really pass the Spirit trials?

Even... if this was just the simplest level, they would probably be utterly defeated.

Gu Shen asked curiously, "So why did Bai Xiu leave Changye, what was he going to do?"

"Trials."

Fatty Luo spoke solemnly, "No one knows where precisely he went for the trials. The Bai Family claims it was the frozen tundras north of Changye, a harsh environment difficult for survival... But I’ve heard that this was a request from Bai Xiu himself; he wanted to undertake it alone, but the Bai Family definitely secretly dispatched Protectors to follow and guard."

Such a genius, the Bai Family wouldn’t allow any accidents to cause his downfall.

"By the way..."

Fatty Luo leaned down and winked at Gu Shen, "Master Gu, looking into his archives, did you calculate something?"

Gu Shen raised an eyebrow.

Ever since he was officially declared a Divination Inheritor by the Tomb Guardian... his title had gradually become weird and somewhat like a charlatan’s...

The voice of Chu Ling rang in his mind, simultaneously pulling up real-time surveillance images.

"Friendly reminder, there are many people gathered to the north of Snow Forbidden City..."

He glanced at the crowd, noticed the familiar figure of Bai Chen, and immediately understood what had happened.

Gu Shen sighed silently in his heart.

Thinking that this year truly was a "lucky year."

Think of something, and it happens.

"Bai Xiu is back from his trials," he said to Fatty Luo, calmly, "and now people are waiting for him at the gate of Snow Forbidden City, right?"

"Pointless..."

Luo Yu murmured; this was the freshest news, and no one had been informed of Bai Xiu’s return to Snow Forbidden City, the Bai Family hadn’t made any preparations, and looking at Gu Shen’s expression, he was completely unsurprised...

He must have used Divination to foresee this!

...

...

Bai’s Ancestral Hall, strictly hierarchical, with a direct line and several dozen branches, due to the vast family business, the direct line has always inherited the position of Family Head... while the branch members are governed by the Elder Council, spread across the entire Jiangbei.

The system of the five great families is mostly like this.

The whole East State Jiangbei is actually under the joint control of the five great families.

Times will change.

But the blood flowing in the family, and the resonance condensed in that blood... have not changed for hundreds of years. Despite the vicissitudes of six hundred years of Wind Snow, Changye remains the most powerful region in East Continent, and the five great families stationed high in Snow Forbidden City are still the true dominators of Jiangbei.
