365: Chapter 56: Rematch (8K Word ga Chapter) 365: Chapter 56: Rematch (8K Word ga Chapter) The wind today is particularly boisterous.
Tie Wu awoke leisurely from a long slumber, feeling a gentle breeze caressing his cheek, indescribably refreshing.
Instinctively, he stretched himself…
and imdiately felt as though the wind had passed through his entire body.
He paused for a mont.
Why did he feel slightly drafty?
Bowing his head in a daze, a surge of mories flooded over him.
It seed he had slept for a very long ti…
on this vast…
wilderness…
A mont later.
Tie Wu, his mories fully restored, wore a complex expression as he looked at his hands.
The cool breeze whistled past.
It passed through his hands, his hair, his chest.
Now, he was nothing but a wandering soul hovering over the wilderness; how could he not be drafty?
There wasn’t a single spot on his body to block the wind.
The garnt that was akin to nothingness fluttered aimlessly, like seaweed soaked in ocean water.
“You’re awake?”
A warm, smiling voice echoed.
Above the desolate wilderness, countless fragnts of grass swirled together, forming a “Throne.”
The young man sat on the Throne, resting with his eyes closed; it seed like he was resting, but in reality, with each prolonged breath, the wilderness was embraced by wind, and each breath was a session of spiritual cultivation.
Tie Wu felt as though he had rely slept for a while.
Not much ti must have passed in the outside world, right?
Why had Gu Shen’s presence beco even more unfathomable?
That subtle current of wind seed to carry the essence of “all things reborn,” making him feel as if he was basking in the warm sun of a thawing spring day…
Except, when Tie Wu fully perceived the environnt of the wilderness, his expression grew even more complicated.
If he rembered correctly…
before he fell asleep, this was a vast and tranquil wilderness.
Why was it now…
so barren?
As far as the eye could see, there were large patches of mud, wild grass proliferating, all underscoring a sense of desolation as if it had been bombarded.
Tie Wu had too much he wanted to say.
For a mont, the words were stuck in his chest.
“What…
happened?”
He pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
Before closing his eyes, he thought he was lying on the earth with the long wind as his cover.
But upon opening his eyes, he found he had always been lying on rotten mud.
Although he was only a soul body, and any slight wind could pass through his form, the wilderness now seed too dreadful, beyond what even a soul body could endure.
“This is…
a new world.”
Gu Shen, seated on the Throne, rubbed his brow with a tired tone.
In fact, he hadn’t been cultivating with closed eyes for as long as Tie Wu imagined.
Gu Shen had just found a place to stay in the Snow Forbidden City, a secluded little courtyard where he prepared to reside temporarily…
After inspecting the surroundings of the courtyard to ensure safety, he imdiately used “Spring Breathing” and entered this spiritual world.
Because of the presence of Wind Eye.
Everything he did in Changye was bound to be observed.
It wouldn’t be long before a new group of people ca looking for him…
Thus, where he resided made no difference; trouble that was ant to find him would inevitably do so.
After comprehending the Grain Rain Volu, Gu Shen wanted to find a quiet place to introspect his “new world.”
He didn’t follow the guidance on the sheepskin scroll from Gu Changzhi to visualize the Spring Breathing.
He had carved a path of his own!
“A new…
world?”
Tie Wu was taken aback.
The last mory he retained was of rain falling on the wilderness, Gu Shen extending his hand to him, and his spirit nearly dissipating, with the Extraordinary Essence about to scatter…
He said he wanted to live on.
And Gu Shen told him that he could.
So…
upon waking from this sleep, he truly survived, his spirit exceptionally reinvigorated, as though he had been reborn.
Wasn’t this sothing not even the gods could achieve?
After a mont of consideration, Tie Wu concluded…
at least, the Wine God couldn’t.
“Is this ‘new world’ like the Divine Miracle of ‘bringing the dead back to life’?” Tie Wu looked up earnestly and asked.
Gu Shen paused for a mont.
He rembered what he had said before Tie Wu sincerely submitted to him…
To dismantle Tie Wu’s faith in the Source Tower, Gu Shen half-blinded and half-deceived by portraying himself as the Eighth Divine Seat from the Old World.
It was precisely because of the miraculous act of “harboring a soul” that this envoy of the Wine God truly believed in the persona of the so-called Eighth Divine Seat.
Now.
Gu Shen found it difficult to speak to Tie Wu…
this was actually his own spiritual world ford by ditating on the Awakening and Grain Rain breathing techniques—even describing it as a spiritual world wasn’t quite fitting.
This place couldn’t even be considered a Spiritual Domain.
The vast desolation and muddiness were simply that of an uncultivated savage world.
“You can think of it as…
a world where nothing exists,” after so thought, Gu Shen said.
“This is a Pure Land that was just born from Chaos.”
Although it currently looked nothing like a Pure Land.
Tie Wu was sowhat confused, feigning understanding while nodding earnestly.
“So…
what do you need to do?”
Tie Wu wasn’t one to beat around the bush.
That was too direct.
Gu Shen fell silent for a mont.
He took out a seed from his palm…
Sitting on the Throne, he gently waved his sleeve, and the seed drifted with the wind, landing in Tie Wu’s hand.
“Help cultivate.”
“Cultivate…
farming?” Tie Wu was stunned yet again.
Was he not an envoy of the Source Tower?
After being reborn here…
his first task was to cultivate crops?
