Chapter 730: Chapter 3: Meeting God_3

"""

In an instant, the dark aura surged.

Black clouds gathered over the cemetery, his robe instantly flowed into a layer of black, transforming into the Netherworld King Robe, while the "Truth Ruler" in his hand also flowed into a pool of black arc light.

Black essence covered his face.

Gu Shen’s body was shrouded in a layer of mist.

He laughed softly, the laugh now sounding extremely hoarse, "So that’s how it is..."

Without even engaging, just this trace of flame breath was enough to be terrifying.

"Tonight, I will cover Snow Forbidden City with the Divine Domain."

Bai Shu said casually, "Whatever you want to do, just do it directly. Those little fellows in the prison probably just want to catch a glimpse of the Netherworld King’s true form; once they see it, it will be enough."

The city where the Divine Throne resided often had a Divine Domain shrouded over it.

The "Light City" of the West Continent was named after this.

In the city shrouded by the Divine Domain, the Divine Throne could easily perceive any "gust of wind or blade of grass" in the surrounding area, all miscellaneous noises, and even minutely feel the distractions of living beings.

Of course, listening to the voices of all things was not something the Divine Throne would deliberately do.

These "Divine Miracles" all consumed essence.

"Thank you, senior."

Gu Shen earnestly bowed.

"Senior..."

Bai Shu chuckled softly and murmured, "I wish that now, you might no longer call me senior..."

The owner of the Netherworld King’s Spark had already been determined to be Gu Shen.

This also meant...

It was only a matter of time before Gu Shen stood on equal footing with himself.

In the world of Transcendents, to be earnestly called "senior" required not just age but a tough fist. As another who would hold the Divine Throne, Gu Shen would instead become "senior" and "sir" among many old monsters.

Bai Shu suddenly asked, "Are you now using the North Continent’s ’Penetration Cultivation Method’?"

"Yes."

Gu Shen nodded, not denying it.

He had not entered the deep water area for over a year to undertake the so-called Extraordinary Trial.

"Not bad..." Bai Shu said with satisfaction, "Before the existence of the [Deep Water Area], Transcendents had always cultivated using the ’Penetration Technique,’ a slightly slower yet solid cultivation method."

Before [Deep Sea] was developed and came into the world, what spirit trials existed in the deep water area?

Both Bai Shu and Gu Changzhi had stepped cautiously, crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Now that they had grown, they naturally preferred these original, primitive cultivation methods.

"The spirit trials in the deep water area... though there are no problems, I always feel that Transcendents who rely on it find it hard to go far." Bai Shu said solemnly, "After reaching the titled stage, every step becomes treacherous."

Today, the [Deep Water Area] could only provide twelve levels of trials.

And beyond the twelfth level of being titled, there were high, middle, and low ranks.

This was a vast macrocosmic improvement.

The entire Transcendent group had a more "efficient" cultivation method, overall strength rising significantly.

According to the original methods, those only able to cultivate to the fourth level could, with the help of [Deep Sea], cultivate to the sixth level or even higher... For them, being titled was an unattainable goal.

"The real geniuses are those who abandon [Deep Sea]."

Bai Shu slowly said, "Your current extraordinary aura is likely at the seventh level of the deep water area, but your spirit realm..."

He narrowed his eyes, carefully observing Gu Shen.

The radiance of the Battle Fire directly shone into Gu Shen’s Spirit Sea.

Chi Huo silently curled up into a ball.

Gu Shen felt this open and warm power. Compared to Mr. Gu Changzhi’s fiery strength, Bai Shu’s "Power of Fire" wasn’t as intense but more restrained and enduring.

Gu Changzhi had studied under the Light God’s Seat.

While Bai Shu had reconstructed the Divine Domain using [Reverse Flow].

Their battle styles and ways of using the flame were entirely different...

After a moment.

Bai Shu was quite surprised. He smiled and exclaimed, "Your spirit realm is at the ninth level of the deep water area, two levels higher than your Transcendent realm... I’ve never seen anyone like you before."

Transcendent cultivation generally emphasized balance.

Natural, assault, and spiritual, each had different cultivation directions, but in the end, they all led to the same goal.

To measure the strength of a Transcendent, it came down to two points.

"Extraordinary Essence" and "spiritual power."

The cultivation path of Extraordinary Essence was a process from quantitative to qualitative change. Some geniuses cultivated the essence swiftly, having an excellent physique, while others quickly understood how to use it.

When Extraordinary Essence reached a certain quantity... a massive divide formed among Transcendents.

This was why the deep water area divided the second, third, and fourth stages.

The first stage of Transcendents began to master the essence, comparable to a baby’s crawl.

The second stage, able to proficiently use it, was like a youth’s walk.

The third stage spread the essence, forming an initial "domain," this was running, the first qualitative change.

The fourth stage formed a complete "domain," expanding the range and controlling freely, akin to "flying."

Therefore... theoretically, third-stage Transcendents hardly ever crossed battle hierarchies to challenge the fourth stage.

Of course, there were always exceptions.

The fastest way to end a cross-stage battle was to use a strong logic bullet.

Beyond seven steps, the bullet was fast.

Within seven steps, the bullet was both accurate and fast.

And Gu Shen’s fighting style had always been simple.
