Chapter 1101: Chapter 35: If It Really Is a Sword (Part 3)
Gu Shen went straight to the point, “Where was the Tomb Ghost at that ti?”
He always felt that the identity of Tomb Ghost was not ordinary, perhaps there was so hidden connection with the “Sword in Stone”, the ability to read ancient texts fluently and to translate them… Such talent is not sothing an ordinary person can possess.
It’s just that he had already used “ntal Hypnosis” on Tomb Ghost before, and that guy’s Spirit Sea was completely exposed.
The Tomb Ghost wasn’t a deeply scheming person hiding in the shadows.
This was uncertain if it was good news or bad news… Gu Shen’s intuition had always been accurate, but this ti, the trail of “Traveler’s Spark” broke off at the Tomb Ghost.
Gu Shen finished speaking and hurriedly added, “Mr. Xue, don’t overthink, the reason I’m asking is simply because Tomb Ghost is my friend, he is definitely not a suspicious criminal.”
“Don’t worry, I can tell.”
Mr. Xue smiled, “If ranked by strength, your friend should be the weakest Transcendent within a hundred-mile radius, summoning the ‘Heavenly Sheath’, such a thing, he wouldn’t be first in line even within eighty thousand miles.”
“…”
Gu Shen also chuckled bitterly.
“Tomb Ghost was in that direction, outside the Iron Wall at that ti.” Mr. Xue explained slowly, “Due to his special identity, as soon as he left the temporary base, I imdiately noticed his movents… back then, I even deliberately communicated with Ghost, and intercepted him once he stepped into the [Snow Cage]. But he just circled around the base and did not step into the prison.”
After hearing this, Gu Shen fell into deep thought.
Tomb Ghost did not enter the base, could it be that he was really overthinking?
“How is he now?”
“Still in a coma, he was seriously injured. Fragnts of the collapsed Heavenly Sheath pierced extensively into his skin, it’s likely he will lose his abilities for a long ti in the future…” Mr. Xue said with a compassionate expression, “But it’s not a big problem, his Extraordinary Power is weak anyway.”
Tomb Ghost doesn’t rely on his own power.
So… this should be considered a blessing within misfortune, even if stripped of “Transcendence” by Heavenly Sheath fragnts, he can still live, being alive is the greatest fortune in this world.
The two arrived at the edge of the Sky Sheath Core Area.
The area was shrouded in thick fog, snow dust particles swirled, obscuring vision, making it difficult to release spiritual power.
Under normal circumstances, the prison guards inspecting “Snow Cage” would not enter the Core Area… once inside, their Extraordinary Ability would be affected, more or less.
But Gu Shen didn’t hesitate; he stepped directly into the mist.
A buzzing sound.
His spiritual power was very keen, and the strength emitted by the Heavenly Sheath was instantly captured…
The Heavenly Sheath certainly lives up to its na.
This rupture made its “suppression force” even stronger.
Having stepped into the core area of “Sword in Stone,” Gu Shen imdiately felt the source quality swirling around him becoming distant, and the condensation rate slowed down significantly.
Mr. Xue followed closely; he was Titled, the stronger a Transcendent, the stronger the resistance naturally is.
The two stood silently in the mist.
Gu Shen looked up at the “Stone Sword” extending towards the Skytop.
“Mr. Xiao Gu, did you notice anything?”
Mr. Xue stood quietly for a mont, then asked gently… this place isn’t a good observation point, if not prompted personally by the old man earlier, he would not have set foot here.
“I didn’t notice anything, but I have a question.”
Gu Shen opened up.
He extended a finger, pointing at the tall streams of cloud surrounding the Heavenly Sheath, earnestly asking, “What do you think… if it explodes several more tis, and all the fragnts of the Heavenly Sheath break apart, what would be inside?”
Mr. Xue was stunned.
This question really threw him.
After all the fragnts of the Heavenly Sheath explode, what remains inside?
For years, the big figures in East Continent hadn’t considered this question…
Gu Shen paused slightly, speaking with a hint of reflection, “Don’t you think, the Stone Sword looks very much like a sword.”
“… You don’t really think this is truly a sword, do you?”
Mr. Xue couldn’t hide the surprise in his voice.
Six hundred years have passed. The reason it’s called “Heavenly Sheath,” why it’s called “Stone Sword,” is rely because people think the shapes are similar.
What a joke, how could there really be an enormous sword tall enough to slash the Heavenly Cloud in this world?
“Why can’t we think this way?”
Gu Shen retorted, “What if it really is a sword?”
Mr. Xue was speechless.
“Suppose… these stone shells are just a layer of the sword sheath.”
Gu Shen’s tone was casual as he smiled, “Then, when the stone shells peel away, what’s left should be the sword’s body… the explosion of the Heavenly Sheath might an the ‘body of the sword’ inside is coming out.”
At this mont, Mr. Xue’s expression gradually changed.
He fell into silence, his deanor becoming serious.
“Relax, I’m just casually speculating. Don’t take it seriously.”
Gu Shen forced a smile, saying, “The old man said I’m here to investigate, but this kind of inexplicable Transcendent event, how can the origin be clearly traced? I just want to check the scene and take another look at Tomb Ghost…”
