Within the Pure Land World.
Tie Wu, who was directing the soul to do major construction, turned his head to look in the direction where the Su Xuan Wood was located.
His mind was inexplicably restless, and a sense of panic was overwhelming.
Tie Wu stood on his hoe, unmoving for a long ti, his gaze fixed there.
"What’s wrong?"
Li Qingci slowly landed beside him.
"It’s nothing..."
Tie Wu murmured softly, this unsettling feeling didn’t last long; it vanished in an instant, but the lingering panic took a while to fade... he recalled so mories he wished not to revisit.
"Miss Qingci, I wonder if it’s just my imagination..."
After hesitating for a long ti, Tie Wu finally spoke: "Just now, did soone co from the ’Pure Land’?"
Li Qingci was taken aback.
In the absence of Gu Shen, she held the highest authority within this Divine Domain World—Gu Shen had not kept any secrets from Li Qingci concerning the Pure Land, so she could sense every arrival.
"... Yes."
She looked at Tie Wu and asked: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Just now, I felt a familiar ’aura’."
Tie Wu raised his head.
He took a deep breath, speaking slowly to the sky.
This ssage was for Gu Shen.
"It’s... the aura of the Wine Spark."
...
...
In the silent test chamber.
Shen Li was sitting on the ground, cold sweat drenching his body, his clothes soaked.
"What’s... the situation?"
His voice was hoarse.
In Gu Xiaoman’s spirit sea visualization... there appeared a "spark"?!
And just now, the Annihilation Wind...
Could a newly awakened Transcendent cause such eerie and terrifying phenona of destruction?
If not for Gu Shen’s intervention, the "Annihilation" phenonon just now could have spread!
As for himself.
He was a Ninth Layer Transcendent of the Deep Sea, naturally could not be severely hard... but if he were to make contact recklessly, he might indeed be injured!
"Quasi-S-level ability... [Dissolving Dream]..."
Gu Shen spoke each word slowly.
His hand was pressed against Xiaoman’s forehead.
Gu Shen stared at the flickering and spreading "blaze" covering his palm.
Xiaoman raised her head in confusion.
The spiritual detection instrunt helt she wore was shattered, powerful nihilistic forces tore apart everything within a two-ter radius, this was the anomaly caused at the start of her awakening.
"Dissolving Dream?"
Shen Li was taken aback, he knew of this ability, in the currently known federation spectrum, [Dissolving Dream] is listed between A-level and S-level... Many years ago, in the Dadu District, there was a brilliant transcendent nad "Zhou Yu" who awakened [Dissolving Dream].
The Security Committee of that ti conducted an evaluation and found that Zhou Yu’s [Dissolving Dream] could drag objects from the real world into dreams and destroy them!
This is beyond the capabilities of an A-level ability...
If Zhou Yu hadn’t perished too early, further developing his ability, [Dissolving Dream] might have been rated higher, thus securing an "S-level" evaluation!
The spectrum ratings are revised every year.
For example, many years ago, [Iron Eater] was not considered an A-level ability, many transcendentals possessing this ability died prematurely due to the side effects of "voracity", making it difficult to cultivate to later stages.
Until a great general known as "Rust Bone" erged in the North Continent, during the Red War, he gradually cultivated [Iron Eater] to its peak, continuously breaking limits, finally showcasing a high ability ceiling!
The year following that, the Security Committee revised the transcendent rating for [Iron Eater]!
"Gu Xiaoman’s ability is [Dissolving Dream]?"
Shen Li swallowed nervously, asking: "But what about the spiritual visualization scene just now?"
"..."
Gu Shen frowned and remained silent, he had no answer to this question.
Xiaoman’s awakened ability resembled [Dissolving Dream] closely!
Gu Shen had seen a nearly perfected [Dissolving Dream] in the Dadu District, if a sufficiently strong spirit seal could provide amplification and spread, this ability could cause destructive impacts to an entire city... but the genius judge Zhou Yu of those years died too early, the danger rating for [Dissolving Dream] remained at quasi-S level.
"Are you all okay?!"
Qi Mo hurriedly arrived at the scene, first asking with concern, seeing Gu Xiaoman unhard, he sighed in relief.
Next mont, he saw the remaining instrunt remnants on the floor, a deep heartache in his eyes... The spiritual detection instrunt brought by the East Continent was exceptionally valuable, in the South Cave, there were still many awakening youths who could use this instrunt to evaluate spirit and upload data.
And it had just begun to be used.
Only to be damaged so quickly!
"Gu Shen, I... seed to have had a dream..."
Gu Xiaoman murmured softly, "I saw a deep sea, in the boundless ocean... a very small spark was floating."
The few held their breath.
"What was the spark like?"
Little Iron Man cautiously asked, "Think carefully, were there any features..."
"That spark, it was purple."
Gu Xiaoman thought for a mont, raising her little face, she told Gu Shen seriously: "It emitted a faint fragrance, intoxicating... I rely glanced at it and felt an unprecedented ’warmth’, the seawater enveloped , and I felt very comfortable."
"And then I just..."
Xiaoman was about to say "Pure Land" in the next mont, but she paused for a second, wisely avoiding ntioning that Gu Shen led her to another spiritual world, "And then I woke up."
The world Gu Shen took her to was also very warm, with towering trees and lush greenery.
She instinctively felt that this wasn’t a secret to be disclosed outwardly.
Gu Shen did not ask her to keep it secret, but she chose to do so.
Gu Shen looked at the young girl with a bit more warmth in his eyes, squatting down to brush off the helt fragnts from her shoulder, and asked gently, "Xiaoman, the glimpse of the fla you saw... does it look like this?"
Initially, the "spiritual imagery" projected by the instrunt was actually very vague.
They should have clearly seen Xiaoman’s Spirit Sea.
But when that glimpse of fla appeared, the image was imdiately cut off—
resulting in everyone only vaguely seeing the shadow of a fla, without clear details.
Gu Shen raised his palm, and with spiritual power, began to evolve that glimpse of fla within the Deep Sea...
He heard Tie Wu’s ssage in the Pure Land.
Gu Xiaoman’s description also provided ample "fla" information.
He had once witnessed that divine war in the cetery.
Although Di Jiu was killed by Gu Changzhi’s two punches... he was ultimately the Master of the Spark.
The [Purple Sea] of the Wine God Throne was completely burned away by Gu Changzhi’s Battle God Domain in that war, but Gu Shen distinctly rembered the "burning appearance" of this spark, he simply simulated it with Chi Huo—
"Hiss."
In his palm, a very small fla appeared.
The aura was completely different.
But the color, the core, gradually began to evolve—
"Yes."
Seeing this purple fla, Gu Xiaoman’s eyes lit up, and she murmured, "That fla looks just like this... it’s just that the internal ’spirit’ seems a bit different..."
Gu Shen extinguished the fla with a backhand.
"Wine Spark."
He said in a low voice, "The fla image that just appeared in the [Deep Sea] is the spiritual manifestation of the ’Wine Spark’..."
This news is enough to shock the entire outside world.
"It’s really a spark... and it’s the ’Wine Spark’!"
Shen Li was incredibly shocked, "Why would the ’aura’ of the Wine Spark appear in Xiaoman’s Spirit Sea?"
"There are two explanations."
Gu Shen cald down and said slowly, "First, Gu Xiaoman had already been chosen by the ’Wine Spark’... a legacy resembling ’authority’ appeared in her Spirit Sea."
"Has there been such a precedent in the Five Continents?" Shen Li was puzzled.
"...Hmm."
Gu Shen nodded sowhat perfunctorily.
Such a precedent had occurred in the Five Continents... and that was himself!
The Netherworld King’s Spark had long chosen him, the Truth Ruler, Su Xianmu, Pure Land, all these creations the Netherworld King had scavenged for ages had already taken root in his Spirit Sea... it’s just that such a "Divine Miracle" couldn’t descend out of nowhere, it was because of the "Divine Descent" battle in the Dadu District that Mr. Gu Changzhi gave him the "Four Seasons Wilderness," allowing him to gradually grasp authority and touch the truth.
Gu Xiaoman being chosen by the "Wine Spark"... requires a dium!
Sangzhou Cave closed the island for three years.
The start of the awakening experint... perfectly coincided with the fall of the previous Wine God Throne...
All of this is too coincidental to even be described as such.
The perpetually confused Little Iron Man, rarely clever for a mont, did not follow Gu Shen’s thoughts further but suddenly asked in confusion, "Wait, Brother Gu, how do you know about the ’spark’ and ’authority’ matters?"
Being chosen by the spark in advance...
Such records, even the heads of the five families may not be able to access them; these are "highest seat" level top secrets.
"..."
Gu Shen looked at Shen Li with a sowhat complicated gaze.
This guy isn’t smart where he should be, yet quite clever when not needed...
"It’s the result of divination."
He said grumpily, "Put your brain where it’s needed."
Shen Li was left speechless and smiled awkwardly.
He imdiately pursued further, "What about the second explanation?"
"When I went to E0 District to find Xiaoman, the Source Tower was searching for ’genius young ones’... The guardian of E0 District at the ti was He Chan, with the four Divine Envoys guarding five city districts, each doing their best to find those ’born with exceptional talent.’
Gu Shen slowly began to speak: "I scoured a Source Tower Enforcer’s Spirit Sea and learned they were scavenging these ’talented individuals’ as part of the Sky Divine Throne’s ’Cloud Mirror mission.’
Shen Li puzzled, "This seems quite normal..."
Surrounding transcendent arrivals at Sangzhou Cave would do such things.
"No..."
Gu Shen shifted his gaze and asked, "You’ve already seen the spiritual manifestation of the ’Wine Spark,’ don’t you think it’s normal anymore? The Source Tower Transcendents weren’t just scavenging ’geniuses’... they were looking for the new owner of the ’Wine Spark!’
"However..."
Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, recalling the scene when Zhuque confronted him.
"These Divine Envoys may not know what they’re doing..."
"Source Tower Enforcers believe they are rely completing a task..."
Shen Li suddenly realized.
He murmured, "You an, Source Tower is using its Divine Envoys to find the ’Lord of Wine’..."
"Correct."
Gu Shen lowered his brows and couldn’t help but smile, "So... whether it’s Zhuque or Cloud Tiger, they exert such effort simply because the temptation is strong enough. Mr. Tianshui from Source Tower must have told them that by completing this ’Cloud Mirror mission,’ they would have the chance to beco the future ’Lord of Wine.’"
