Chapter 475: Chapter 105: Then Reach Out Your Hand_2

"And also..."

Gu Shen took out the "Iron Clothes" that had regained its shape and said, "This is the exceptionally sturdy iron garment I mentioned earlier, which was also a burial object in the coffin."

He tossed out the iron garment.

In the Infinite Scale Domain, a fierce wind suddenly rose.

The old master threw a punch.

The iron garment was struck with a booming sound, slamming into a distant snowy mountain, chiseling a pit several meters deep into the rock wall... After the snow vapor and dust dispersed, the iron garment was undamaged, a sight that made the old master fall silent.

This punch contained sixty years of strength, not to mention an iron garment.

Even an A-level sealed object would be blasted apart with one punch!

Gu Shen raised his hand, and the iron garment slowly flew back: "I said... it’s very sturdy."

The old master looked at his own fist: "It is indeed very sturdy."

"I want to know... whose tomb is this?"

"None of these burial objects are ordinary!"

Gu Shen let out a long sigh and asked earnestly, "And merely retracing a profile can result in someone being tainted with ’inauspicious’ karma... what identity did the tomb owner have?"

"Judging by the age of these objects, they are at least a hundred years old."

The old master shook his head and said, "The Gu family will investigate thoroughly... I will notify you immediately once we have results. However, these objects, the artifacts in the coffin, the Gu family might need to take them away for investigation."

"But..."

He thought for a moment, then added softly, "You can keep this iron garment and this jade ring for yourself."

...

...

He set out to return to Changye.

Gu Shen sat on the plane, resting with his eyes closed.

His spiritual power gently descended and then entered Yingying’s carriage.

"I heard all of the conversation just now."

Chu Ling had maintained her silence up until Gu Shen actively entered the Spiritual World before she dared to speak, her voice carried a hint of worry: "How are you feeling now?"

"I don’t feel uncomfortable."

Gu Shen frowned and said, "Listening to the old master’s tone, the inauspicious doesn’t seem to be so dreadful; many people get tainted with inauspiciousness."

"In the Deep Sea database, this is called ’risk of losing control’..."

Chu Ling let out a light sigh, "When a Transcendent’s spirit gradually becomes mismatched with their body, they face what’s called ’risk of losing control,’ and the greater this risk becomes, the higher the probability of losing control. That’s the purpose behind the creation of the deep water area; undergoing the Extraordinary Trial there can significantly lower the chances of being tainted with inauspiciousness."

Gu Shen reflected upon this.

Indeed.

When one is alone in a Spiritual Link, practicing meditation, the chance of being tainted with "inauspiciousness" is indeed very small.

It seems reasonable then, before Deep Sea was established, so many Transcendents relied on fumbling and inheritance, coming out through life-and-death struggles, like a wild path.

And under these circumstances, the risk of "spiritual out-of-control" could increase!

Therefore... they needed powerful breathing techniques to suppress the disordered spirit!

He suddenly understood some explicitly stated rules of the three institutions.

It’s not that the Transcendents can’t practice two volumes of breathing techniques... Rather, the new generation of Transcendents who meditate in the deep water area, whose spirits and bodies maintain relative harmony, haven’t been tainted with the so-called inauspiciousness and don’t face such a high risk of losing control. If they were to practice the second volume of breathing techniques, it would instead disrupt the harmony and balance.

Of course, there’s also the reason that the second volume of breathing techniques is just too difficult.

When the spirit grows and reaches a higher level... the risk of losing control increases, and at that time, most people will have developed the spiritual conditions necessary to practice the second volume of breathing techniques.

At this thought, Gu Shen vaguely had a new idea.

"If ’inauspiciousness’ leads to ’risk of losing control’..."

He muttered, "Then, is ’inauspicious’ a kind of spiritual power?"

Chu Ling was taken aback, not understanding what Gu Shen meant.

In the domain of the Infinite Scale.

Gu Shen saw a strand of darkness within his own shadow.

Compared to the old master, that strand of darkness wasn’t much... but little by little, it might eventually form an "evil ghost mural". These inauspicious spiritual powers might surge over during his Meditation, breakthroughs, or moments of weakness, and could engulf him!

This must be what those "out-of-control" individuals had experienced!

And if inauspiciousness is indeed a kind of spiritual power, then could the jade ring... swallow it?

Gu Shen was eager to test the power of the jade ring right away.

However, after his condition had improved and the sense of inauspiciousness had cleanly disappeared, it really seemed like a mere shadow hiding in the darkness out of the fierce sunlight.

"It’s a pity... this bizarre power doesn’t appear all the time."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and murmured, "It seems to be waiting for the next opportunity..."

But that’s alright.

Let it be for now.

With the jade ring, if the inauspicious spiritual power attacks again next time, Gu Shen can attempt to strike back!

...

...

Upon landing, Gu Shen didn’t rest and immediately returned to Divine Temple Mountain with the "Lamp of Sorrow".

Before he departed, he had a premonition.

Chu Ling’s "Snowfield Dream" must be connected to Divine Temple Mountain!

Today, only Li Qingci was on the mountain peak.

Li Qingci was tending to the flower beds when she saw Gu Shen, joy flashing across her pale cheeks.

But her expression quickly changed.

She saw that beneath the Judge’s coat, white bandages were wrapped around, with traces of blood seeping through.
