Chapter 1144: Chapter 57: The Old Lion (Part 2)
For the “tempering” of young Transcendents from the two continents, the most important thing is the first wave of extermination!
The highest level of difficulty, the greatest danger!
“Gu Shen, you and Mu Qingyang are responsible for the vanguard exploration… Once we’re rested, we will officially act.”
Mr. Gu said, “Alright, today’s eting is about done, you all can leave for now. The detailed plan will be sent to you by [Deep Sea].”
…
…
The eting adjourned.
Gu Shen did not leave.
Although he was on the road earlier… he didn’t miss a bit of what was discussed at the eting.
Chu Ling synchronized the eting in real-ti, projecting in his Spirit Sea.
Even without real-ti sync, this footage would be sent to his email by [Deep Sea].
Clearly visible, regarding Han Dang’s revealed thods and threats.
Mr. Gu seed unbothered.
The Heavenly Sheath Weapon, that was rely leftover from Changye’s plays thirty years ago… back then soone from Changye made a proposal, surely with a developed blueprint and corresponding containnt plans.
Just after everyone left, only Gu Shen and the old man remained in the eting room.
“Tsk…”
As the footsteps hadn’t completely faded, Gu Qilin couldn’t help but speak.
He looked at the young man before him, ostensibly resting but showing no sign of fatigue, and exhaled a big puff of cigar smoke, carelessly asking, “You kid, really stay hidden so well?”
The battle report earlier, sent back to headquarters, left everyone stunned!
Gu Shen, rely a Third Realm!
In one night, he slew four Fourth Realm opponents!
Such an event has never happened in Changye’s history…
The collective reaction was that Gu Shen had been hiding his strength, and Mr. Gu saw through the “clue.”
“Poison Ghost, Tang Ran, Silver Eye, White-haired Ghost… these four aren’t simply ‘Fourth Realm’ beings.” The old man flicked his cigarette ash, asking, “You wouldn’t have reached the legendary ‘Super Third Realm,’ would you?”
“As expected from you.”
Gu Shen smiled reflectively.
Since it was seen through, he had no reason to hide from the old man, “Mr. Bai Shu gave a hand, luckily broke through, it counts as good luck.”
“Good luck…”
The old man’s lips twitched slightly.
Super Third Realm is not sothing achievable by re good luck!
However… the kid’s claim isn’t entirely wrong, his luck indeed seems extraordinary enough, doesn’t it?
“Actually, my purpose for this trip was to show you this—”
Gu Shen stopped saying much, directly retrieved the black box he carried with him.
Opened it.
The black box was filled with Heavenly Sheath Fragnts.
Suddenly, the room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
“???”
Mr. Gu’s expression turned very complicated; he alternated gazes between the black box and Gu Shen.
Gu Shen seriously explained, “These are all Heavenly Sheath Fragnts.”
“Of course I know…”
Gu Qilin lit another cigar.
He gave a deep cough, asking, “Did you extract all of these?”
Extracting Heavenly Sheath Fragnts is quite the challenge.
Changye has always wanted to extract these fragnts… but these “stone crystals” are exceedingly dangerous, even when they occasionally drop, they’re hard to handle; Transcendents who get contaminated lose ability, making them into weapons and using them beca a problem.
Extraordinary Essence is ineffective against Heavenly Sheath.
The best plan offered by the three schools was wrapping them as fragile material “bullets.”
This plan is feasible.
But… over the years, dropped “Heavenly Sheath Fragnts” remained scarce and would naturally weather away with ti, losing their host, these fragnts seed to lose “Magic Power,” quickly vanishing.
In thirty years, not a single decent bullet was made.
“Kind of.”
Gu Shen thought for a mont…
Yeah, using Netherworld King Authority to let them pluck their own flesh-thorns probably count as self-extraction, doesn’t it?
Gu Qilin watched Gu Shen, forcibly suppressing his urge to quiz further.
This kid carries significant secrets!
Logically, only those stabbed by Heavenly Sheath could extract it without cost.
Gu Shen’s body showed no sign of source essence dispersal.
Looking at his lively appearance, he didn’t seem to suffer any “curse.”
“Why do these Heavenly Sheath Fragnts still retain ‘vitality’…”
The old man puzzled, “Logically, they should have dissipated.”
“Extraordinary Essence is an existence that disrupts order.”
Gu Shen slowly explained, “If Extraordinary Essence is considered ‘disordered material,’ then Heavenly Sheath Fragnts… can be regarded as ‘ordered materials,’ even if its nature differs from Strong Logic Material, but its essence of neutralizing Extraordinary Essence is allowing order to return to balance.”
Strong Logic Material is for suppressing Extraordinary Essence.
Heavenly Sheath Fragnts, are for mutually vanishing.
“The enemy’s enemy is an ally. So for Heavenly Sheath Fragnts, Mithril material is quite a good container; the higher the grade, the better the result.” Gu Shen closed the black box, presenting it to the old man, “According to this principle… then the highest conventional grade Black Silver is certainly an excellent container for Heavenly Sheath Fragnts.”
“Is that so?”
The old man looked at the black box, surprisingly stood up, asking solemnly, “How much Heavenly Sheath Fragnts can you extract?”
“…”
Gu Shen was montarily dazed by the question.
He hadn’t seen such intense glow in Gu Qilin’s eyes before.
“Wait a minute!”
Gu Shen felt a headache, asked, “Thirty years ago… the person advocating refining Heavenly Sheath Fragnts in Changye couldn’t be…”
“It was .”
The old man disclosed, realizing he acted slightly out of place earlier, he sat back, asserting dominantly, “Had the proposal passed, I’d have long been carrying a rocket launcher, shooting Heavenly Sheath shells at the Source Tower!”
Indeed…
Explains the old man’s slightly regrettable tone earlier.
Because the rejection was to his proposal!
“Hehe…”
The old man sneered, “Frankly speaking, regarding the Heavenly Sheath Weapon blueprint, production, usage, I made nurous plans. If realized, it would be a world-changing deterrent force. But the raw materials were so scarce, so were unwilling to break the Heavenly Sheath, I couldn’t do anything… Ever since being hit by a shell in North Continent Battlefield, I’ve been thinking, the things the mundane fears, does the Divine Throne truly not fear at all?”
Extraordinary Cultivation, even at the pinnacle, achieving the titled rank, is mundane.
Mundane, fears heavy firepower.
Fears unintentional area attacks.
But… the Divine Throne does not fear.
All man-made weapons within Five Continents combined cannot inflict the slightest harm on their bodies.
They have transcended the “mundane,” bridged the “chasm.”
But if that shell was made from “Heavenly Sheath?”
Even Gu Shen couldn’t help but admire the old man’s “Biao Han,” three decades ago he had such a fierce idea… the most shocking part is, the notion is actually viable.
The Heavenly Sheath, whose origin is unknown, its emanating power has been proven to be “divine level.”
It carries rules naturally, and rejects the “traveller’s” unsheathing.
Such a thing, if made into weapons, fired at the Source Tower…
The image is too breathtaking, Gu Shen couldn’t envision.
“Xiao Gu, I don’t care how you extract the Heavenly Sheath… now I just want to ask you, how much can you extract?”
Mr. Gu took a deep breath, seriously spoke.
This graying old figure, this mont truly resembled a lion, his eyes flickered with unyielding desire against past regrets.
Extracting Heavenly Sheath was a major issue consuming endless energy, unresolved.
Back then, Tundra Prison was peaceful.
Changye’s thirty years, desperately gathered, failed to collect even one-tenth of the fragnts in this box.
Now, he’s awaited his lifeti opportunity reappeared.
Heavenly Sheath collapsed.
Nurous fragnts erged… Gu Shen also brought a “preservation thod,” directly solving his biggest problem years ago!
What remained is extraction.
Gu Shen watched the spirited old lion, couldn’t help but smile.
“Theoretically… I can extract all the fragnts without harm.”
He calmly said, “So, as long as the container issue is solved, given enough raw materials, however much you need, I can extract.”
…
