Chapter 518: Chapter 119 Spectator_3

Now only a small sign of it had emerged.

Gu Shen hadn’t used the deep water area’s Extraordinary Trial to test his strength, but he had a clear self-awareness, his spiritual power had grown several times stronger than a year ago.

Even without using the "Iron Throne," he could hypnotize Shen Li, who possessed a Spiritual defensive sealing item, with just one move.

This was also the reason why Shen Li would come running over to the Spring Rain Temple’s courtyard every so often to "ask for guidance"... It not only satisfied his insatiable desire to fight but also, every time they sparred, he ended up falling asleep, and after the fight, he would realize he had a good sleep.

Now his view of Gu Shen had completely changed in his heart; this was simply a Divine being.

The fellows in the Snow Forbidden City used to always compare Gu Shen with Bai Xiu... In Shen Li’s heart, these two couldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath.

Could Bai Xiu cure his "out-of-control" state?

Impossible!

But Gu Shen could!

The Gu Shen in Spring Rain Temple was simply his second mentor on his path of cultivation.

For Gu Shen, being able to regularly and punctually see the little metal man Shen Li during these calm and uneventful days was actually a pleasure.

Having abandoned the deep water area’s Extraordinary Trial, he still needed to spar with others to approximately evaluate the increase in his own strength.

Chi Huo was continuously digesting the Black Flowers on Divine Temple Mountain, transforming them into his own power.

And for his assessment of his combat strength... Gu Shen had already started to use "Shen Li" as a basic unit.

Each time they sparred, he was exploring the power of Chi Huo as well as his own real strength.

Setting all this aside.

Healing Shen Li’s loss of control was also a win-win situation.

Because Shen Li’s "inauspiciousness," to the jade ring finger, might be considered a kind of nourishment.

At the moment, Gu Shen was not clear what changes would occur after the jade ring finger absorbed spiritual power... or whether there would be any changes at all.

But he didn’t care, because the power demonstrated by this object, even just this little bit, was already strong enough.

It could absorb the Divine Power of a Divine Throne!

It could devour what’s called "inauspiciousness"!

This was an undeniable divine artifact, even more surprising than "Iron Armor."

Gu Shen was always waiting... waiting for the inauspicious shadow lurking within him to leap out at some moment, and then, with the jade ring finger, he would capture it all!

Over the past year, few things happened each day.

Yet, when gathered together, they were not few.

The Li Family’s "Copper Human Lamp" plan was very successful; of the three lost Copper Human Lamps overseas, two had already been successfully retrieved. They completed three corners in the Ancient Temple... only the last one remained.

The Li Family had used a lot of manpower, paying a great price, spreading messages throughout the Five Continents, buying ancient artifacts.

All of it was worth it.

If they could gather the four Copper Human Lamps, the cost of material goods and manpower was really nothing at all.

However, the secrecy of the "Copper Human Lamp" plan was very high. Other than the Family Head and the two sisters from Divine Temple Mountain, no one else knew... This also ensured the smooth recovery of the antiques, as those Transcendents outside had no clue why the Li Family would collect those "meaningless" antiques.

In the world of the Transcendents, if it’s not a sealing item, it’s meaningless.

Besides, Chu Ling had once again successfully "entered" the body of the Divine Embryo baby in the well water on the top of Divine Temple Mountain.

An important message can be inferred from this.

That is, the collection of Copper Human Lamps indeed strongly promoted the awakening of the Divine Embryo.

After the placement of the three Copper Human Lamps, Chu Ling seemed to experience a "split" in 001’s consciousness.

Or to use another word, a manifestation.

She often dreamt of seeing that well, breathing in the well water, in deep slumber.

With the converging of the patches of luminescence and the aggregation of white flowers, her body was constantly spreading and growing.

However, what Gu Shen saw in the well water was just an ordinary baby.

Chu Ling’s dreams were something Gu Shen was curious and worried about...

If one day.

They really gathered the four lamps... after Chu Ling’s "birth," would it be a baby?

With this question in mind, he subtly sought guidance from the Tomb Guardian.

The guidance Gu Shen sought was not for Master Qianye to use Divination Skill to peek into the future.

Rather, it was because Master Qianye was knowledgeable enough and might know something.

And the master’s reply was very straightforward.

"If Divine Embryos truly existed in this world... then they would have begun growing 600 years ago, and by now, how could they be infants?"

This statement wasn’t hard to understand.

The "infant" form of the Divine Embryo was, after all, just an external manifestation.

Its existence was completely different from that of humans.

The Divine Embryo required 600 years to incubate, while the birth of a human requires only ten months... If the Divine Embryo truly was a life form, then its growth trajectory was impossible to predict.

Perhaps it would take ten thousand years to grow.

Or perhaps... it’s perfect from birth.

If it’s a life born from countless "Extraordinary Essences," and if it possesses its own consciousness, it might freely choose its own shell, be it an infant or an elderly body, both are only a physical vessel.

While talking about this, the Tomb Guardian even lifted a corner of his robe to reveal his withered left hand.

The existence of Divination and Prayer Techniques, these two Forbidden Techniques, adequately proves one thing.

Spirit and matter cannot be separated and are also mutually opposed.

When the spirit is strong enough, matter is just a vehicle... nothing more.

After receiving this reply, the one thing Gu Shen had been most worried about was put to rest...

He quietly became a spectator.

Watching as the Black Flowers on the Divine Temple Mountain decreased over the year, with the mountaintop returning to serenity, watching as Qingzhong’s Array Pattern Diagrams increased, with the mist gradually clearing.

The life of a spectator wasn’t so bad.
