Uncle Gao narrowed his eyes.
His expression grew grave…
Those four bronze lamps were of considerable importance to the Li Family as “sealing objects,” guarding the four corners of the temple and forming a powerful barrier.
Over the years, the Li Family had tried to liberate the ‘Copper Human Lamp’ from the old house.
Unfortunately.
It was an impossible task.
Once those four lamps were moved, the temple risked collapsing.
“If I’m not mistaken, these four ‘Copper Human Lamps’… seem to be incomplete…”
Gu Shen observed Uncle Gao’s expression and confird his conjecture.
“They have lost their ‘faces’.”
“Correct.”
Uncle Gao nodded, “You have good eyesight.”
Gu Shen said earnestly, “If we can liberate these four lamps from the temple… perhaps we can find a way to ‘repair them completely’.”
“How to liberate?” Li Qingsui blinked her large eyes, curiously asking.
“The Divine Temple is surrounded by Black Flowers; clearing them might… allow the barrier to be moved,” suggested Gu Shen.
“Of course, this is only my speculation.”
“Theoretically feasible,” Uncle Gao evaluated.
He looked at Gu Shen with profound aning.
To clear the Black Flowers of Divine Temple Mountain… even he couldn’t achieve it.
“How long will it take?” Li Qingsui held her breath and asked cautiously.
“Given the current pace…” Gu Shen thought for a mont, then said, “At least another three to five years?”
The flowers atop Divine Temple Mountain were several tis denser than those on the mountainside.
The difficulty of eradicating them was also much higher.
“And that’s just the Black Flowers near the old house…” Gu Shen added, “If the ‘Copper Human Lamp’s’ barrier is ant to protect the mountaintop… then it might take even longer.”
Li Qingsui’s face displayed an unmistakable look of disappointnt.
Three years… Five years…
For the Li Family, that was not a long ti.
But for her, it was quite distant.
Moreover, as Gu Shen had said… even if they managed to clear the Black Flowers, there was only a possibility of liberating the ‘Copper Human Lamps.’ The actual ti needed would only be longer!
“To have hope is always better than no hope at all,” she said.
Taking a deep breath, the young girl’s deanor once again beca resolute.
Over the past two years, she had traveled through Changye and even beyond the East Continent more than once, seeking ways to save “Divine Temple Mountain.” She had long been prepared for a prolonged battle.
Her sister was in the mountain.
She was outside the mountain.
As long as there was a glimr of hope, she would never give up.
Only, she could wait; her sister couldn’t… The liberation of the ‘Copper Human Lamps’ might just be the first step.
How much of Li Qingci’s life would remain once everything was done?
With a resolute expression, Li Qingsui asked, “If you beco stronger…”
“Then the ti needed to liberate the ‘Copper Human Lamps’ will be shorter,” Gu Shen said slowly.
“…I must reiterate, I’m not making any guarantees.
These assumptions are based solely on theoretical feasibility.”
“I understand,”
Li Qingsui nodded and said solemnly, “What do you need?
As long as the Li Family can provide it… you need only ask!”
Her words were full of vigor.
“Boss… impressive, truly commanding,”
Gu Shen smiled with a hint of emotion in his voice, “Worthy of being the future head of the Li Family, speaking with such authority… Don’t worry, if I need your help, I won’t be shy.
But for now, I just need a quiet environnt.”
Li Qingsui was taken aback slightly.
Leaning back in the rear seat of the car, Gu Shen slowly closed his eyes, his voice sowhat weary as he addressed Uncle Gao, “Before leaving Divine Temple Mountain, I need to take so things; the rest is up to you, Uncle Gao… please take to Qingzhong Cetery.”
This act of “devouring” left Gu Shen feeling sowhat fatigued.
Devouring Black Flowers was indeed a laborious task.
Even though Chi Huo’s intrinsic nature was to absorb chaos, the massive influx of “Black Spots” during two consecutive sessions left Gu Shen feeling sowhat uncomfortable, a reaction that might require so ti to adapt to.
At the boundary of Divine Temple Mountain,
Gu Shen took out so “materials” and got back into the car, then began to rest with eyes closed.
Uncle Gao silently observed, not saying anything.
His spiritual power allowed him to vaguely discern what those “things” were… In fact, a person like him with his level of spiritual power could cover half of Snow Forbidden City; nothing within his detection range could keep its secrets from him.
It was clear that Gu Shen’s visit to Qingzhong Cetery was to et the Tomb Guardian.
This news… certainly could not be hidden from Wind Eye.
However, now that the young man and the Li Family had joined forces, he would naturally choose to intervene and provide appropriate help.
The car drove out of the “Divine Temple Mountain Boundary.”
Gao Tian’s spiritual power unfurled a domain that shredded the sensory reach of Wind Eye.
…
…
Gu Shen fell into a deep sleep.
He had never felt like this before… As if he’d beco a wandering soul, floating in the heavens with a god’s-eye view, scrutinizing himself.
He could feel the opening and closing of every pore, the expansion of every cell.
It was as if he saw a miniature world within his own body.
It was a vast wilderness.
There was wind, rain, dawn, and dusk.
There were farrs swinging hoes and sweating profusely as they toiled.
With the waking of insects, the rains of Gu Yu, seeds rooted and sprouted, the soil was tilled, and riverbeds were newly carved.
