Chapter 474: Chapter 105: Then Reach Out Your Hand

Within the Infinite Scale, countless ghosts roamed.

One shadow after another wrapped around the back of Mr. Gu Qilin.

The latter, as if blind to it all.

"Foreboding might lead to ’spiritual discontrol,’ and the best way to suppress it is with a powerful breathing technique," he said.

"The five major families each have their own methods of cultivation... but the Gu family’s breathing technique is the strongest among them!"

Gu Qilin said gravely, "The Jingzhe Scroll, the Grain Rain Volume, are divine items sought after by countless Transcendents... Because of Changzhi’s influence, the famous ’Spring Breathing’ came into existence. But in fact, before him, the breathing technique of the Gu family was already mature enough."

Gu Shen felt within this domain of Infinite Scale, there roamed a familiar spiritual aura.

The old man’s spiritual power was incredibly dense and stable.

Looking closely, any shadow that dared approach would crack and be burnt, with the old man himself resembling a massive sun.

This sun contained a complex spiritual aura.

It was somewhat like Spring Breathing, yet not exactly similar!

It was older, more eternal.

"In the beginning, the breathing technique used by Gu Changzhi was personally taught by me, and only after he became the Divine Throne and carved out his own path did he create what are now known as the Eight Rolls of Breathing, the Four Seasons Wilderness," Gu Qilin said, smiling faintly.

He looked over his shoulder at the spectral murals roaming behind him and softly said, "Compared to him, the ’foreboding’ entwined around me is actually nothing."

Gu Shen couldn’t imagine.

If the foreboding behind the old man was already so terrifying...

What would Gu Changzhi be like then?

"I’ve tried surveying the present, and in an instant, the Infinite Scale was filled with countless forebodings; that was the true Hell, where mere mortals would instantaneously be consumed and reduced to ruins. By refining the fire seed and bearing the fate of mankind, a ’god’ who gains a thousand times more divine power will also encounter a thousand times more disasters," Gu Qilin said calmly, "After becoming the ’Divine Throne,’ Changzhi constantly created new breathing techniques to suppress the misfortune behind him."

Suddenly, Gu Shen remembered something.

He mumbled, "That current slumber of the Divine Throne..."

"No one knows what happened in Qingzhong, but perhaps it’s related to the foreboding," said the old man.

"The Eight Volume Breathing Method isn’t complete. He met with me just before he fell into slumber... He said he was one step away; the Eight Volume Breathing Method was not perfect yet, he lacked the final volume... Great Cold."

Great Cold?

From the awakening in Jingzhe, everything resurrects.

The Four Seasons, which are the cycles of life for all living beings, from birth to Silent Annihilation.

Thinking carefully, the sequence of the Eight Volume Breathing Method aligns exactly from life to death... and Great Cold is the end of the Four Seasons, also the end of life.

"Alright... tell me," Gu Qilin asked, "What did you see in that tomb?"

Gu Shen recounted his experience.

Most of the events here, he did not conceal.

The causes and consequences of battling with the Late Bell Church.

The relics in the tomb, the iron clothes, the ring, and... the battle with the residual thought of the Storm God’s Throne!

About the "Lamp of Sorrow," since it involved the Divine Temple Mountain, Gu Shen chose to keep that secret.

After listening, the old man looked at Gu Shen with a meaningfully deep gaze.

This young man had secrets.

Coming across this Snowfield, infiltrating the underground base of the Southern Continent Church... this was not something that could be accomplished casually... Where exactly did Gu Shen get his information?

"I won’t ask about those things you didn’t mention," said the old man.

Standing in the shadow of the Infinite Scale, he slowly got up and said, "Although I don’t know how you managed to kill a seventh-level Transcendent possessed by Divine Power. But that matter has already ended; you need not worry about the ’Storm,’ the two Transcendents from the Source Tower wouldn’t dare act against Eastern Continent... He won’t be an exception either."

"The reason why Eastern Continent has been so calm over these years... is because of the final breathing technique called ’Great Cold.’ Even the Transcendent from the Outer Continent can’t know whether Gu Changzhi has truly reached Silent Annihilation or is in a state of ’feigned Silent Annihilation,’" he said.

So... there have been so many conspiracies around Eastern Continent, around Changye.

Real Silent Annihilation or false Silent Annihilation, there are always ways to test it.

"Actually, I wasn’t worried about the ’Storm,’" Gu Shen said with a wry smile.

"Because that thread of residual thought from the Storm God’s Throne... will not return to Southern Continent."

The old man was slightly taken aback.

"It’s all here," Gu Shen said, taking out the jade ring, looking at the old man’s bewildered expression, he repeated, "The residual spiritual power of the Storm God’s Throne has been captured by the jade ring."

"???"

The old man looked astonished.

This jade ring... captured a Divine Throne’s spirit?

He accepted the ring Gu Shen handed to him, faintly using his own spiritual power to probe... Inside the ring, a storm raged, seemingly imprisoning a fierce dragon desperately attempting to break free, yet the ring appeared to be the most robust cage in the world.

It had indeed trapped a Divine Throne’s spirit!

Astounding!

And seeing how madly the spirit struggled... it seemed the ring was about to digest it?

The old man’s expression grew complex.

"This object... exceeds my understanding," he admitted.

Despite Mr. Gu’s extensive knowledge and experience, he had never encountered such an eerie object, he stated frankly, "This ring could likely absorb most of the spiritual power."

Gu Shen knew; the old man’s choice of words was still cautious.

If it could absorb the spirit of the Storm God’s Throne.

Then what other spiritual power in this world could the ring not absorb?

Yet, what it could ultimately be used for... Gu Shen hadn’t thought of that yet.
