Chapter 973: Chapter 134: It’s Enough That You Ca Back Alive (3rd Update)
“Swoosh!”
The sound of wind and thunder was extrely fast!
The mont Gu Shen infused his spirit into the bracelet, countless lights blossod simultaneously in the courtyard.
He didn’t even blink.
When ng Xiao erged, Gu Shen sneered.
“I had already guessed… you still have so tricks up your sleeve.”
Gu Shen was all too familiar with this Blessed Son.
Even in death, ng Xiao would never make things easy for him.
The spirit within the bracelet, once out in the world, would likely send ssages to Light City—
However.
ng Xiao didn’t get the chance.
The wisp of residual thought had only traveled twenty ters when it hit an invisible wall, letting out a horrific scream.
“Ah…”
The spirit began to smoke.
What it collided with was a Spirit Array Pattern written using Qingzhong Ancient Text by Gu Shen, specifically to prevent spiritual leakage!
Above the courtyard, dark light flashed, and the ancient texts, like copper walls and iron bastions, blocked his path entirely.
“ng Xiao” gritted his teeth and threw himself once more at the “ancient text” he had previously collided with; although his residual spirit had dissipated a little, the ancient text also dimd slightly from the hit, and perhaps one more strike would shatter it!
“Fool’s talk.”
At this mont, Gu Shen made his move.
He raised his hand and grabbed; the fourth-tier Spirit Sea descended with a roaring sound above the courtyard, and imdiately after, a colossal pressure enveloped ng Xiao’s wisp of residual thought directly!
In the next mont.
The boundless light retracted and gathered.
ng Xiao was caught in Gu Shen’s palm, struggling desperately, still able to move… This scene surprised Gu Shen sowhat, but he imdiately recalled Hong Zhong in the pendant.
This scenario bears quite the resemblance.
Looks like his guess was right—the bracelet and pendant are in the sa series of divine artifacts.
“Gu! You’ll die a miserable death!”
Even with just a wisp of residual thought, ng Xiao still cursed out loud.
But he only had ti to say this one sentence.
Gu Shen looked at the little figure in his palm with indifference, did not hesitate, and threw it into the ring…
What is the greatest torture for a wisp of spirit? Nothing more than sending it into a ring.
“Crunch, crunch!”
The ring sensed the arrival of its al, accepting it without resistance, opening its “mouth” wide, biting down, and ng Xiao’s residual thought shattered without even a scream!
Thus.
The last resort left by this Son of the Light’s Blessing was completely crushed by Gu Shen.
The courtyard regained its calmness.
“Tsk…”
Gu Shen slowly raised the bracelet before him, then picked up the pendant, mumbling to himself: “To store the spirits of the ‘deceased,’ could you two… really be creations of the sa being?”
Of course, there was no response.
Only the faint sound of wind in the courtyard.
Gu Shen chuckled, squinting as he examined the bracelet: “So… your correct usage is to drive out the forr ‘old master’ and then infuse your own spirit?”
The light had completely dispersed.
The bracelet beca less “transparent,” but this was also a symbol of it returning to unowned status.
Gu Shen slowly placed the bracelet on his wrist, then carefully infused his own spirit.
A wisp of dark fire ignited between his brows.
This ti, the bracelet absorbed not the light from Light City, but the opposite “Netherworld Fire”… Black Fla swirled in the courtyard; this bracelet, unlike the pendant, didn’t operate for free, but required the absorption of a certain amount of “spirit” to fulfill its feedback conditions.
Gu Shen’s smile gradually faded, becoming solemn.
Because the “consumption” of this thing was astonishingly large.
Such a small bracelet.
In just ten seconds, it consud two-tenths of his Spirit Sea!
“Boom…”
A low rumble flashed through his mind.
And imdiately, one blurred scene after another erged.
Ti flowed like a river.
At this mont, he seed to transcend this river, capable of pausing and observing scenes from different ti points in the river… Yet, before he truly “focused,” these scenes were extrely blurry, offering only vague clues.
“The Big Bang…”
“Black Snow Mountain…”
Gu Shen squinted his eyes, quietly feeling the bracelet’s power.
These scenes appeared to be events that already occurred within the Duolu River Disaster Realm, and he seed capable of only seeing the history “directly related” to himself.
And going forward…
A certain scene caught Gu Shen’s attention.
“Pause.”
He chose to zoom in and carefully observe.
The scene was set in Qingzhong Mountain Courtyard.
Dozens of mysterious Transcendents in sackcloth robes were waiting outside Xuankong Mountain, and leading them was a man clad in Red Armor, exuding a strong aura… In the image, he was opening the courtyard door to greet this “visit” from the Red Armor man!
These mysterious Transcendents didn’t bother hiding their aura; with one glance, Gu Shen discerned their identities!
Holy Judges from Light City!
“Well, well… have they traced it back to directly?”
Gu Shen felt a slight chill in his heart.
In truth, he wasn’t too surprised about the bracelet’s divination revelation.
Being traced back to him wasn’t unexpected.
Because his conflict with ng Xiao in North Continent wasn’t a secret.
It wasn’t difficult for the Holy Judges to uncover this information, and when investigating the death of the Blessed Son, they would naturally “trace the clues” to him… It seed their visit to Xuankong Mountain Courtyard was sothing that would happen in the near future.
These guys, could they have already set off?
He wanted to continue reading the follow-up to this “Calamity Divination,” but discovered… this bracelet could only provide limited information, just a vague image, with no way of knowing what was to happen next.
“…”
Gu Shen knew that the best way to avoid the scenes shown in the divination was to set off imdiately and leave the North Continent.
If he didn’t live on Xuankong Mountain, the Holy Judge wouldn’t co knocking.
But he didn’t want to do that.
For a simple reason… at this mont, he had already guessed why ng Xiao harbored such hostility toward him. It was likely because he had seen a vague image related to himself when using the bracelet.
To change so minor “misfortune,” he kept attacking proactively.
In the end… he died on the Nether River!
“I scattered ng Xiao’s ashes into the Nether River, and all these sealed objects were burned clean… even the last trace of spirit, I completely extinguished.”
Unmoved, Gu Shen said coldly, “I’m curious to see what other thods Light City has to drag out.”
He withdrew from the ntal imrsion in the bracelet.
This divination consud half of the spirits he had just infused.
“Kid, it seems like you had no good intentions…”
Gu Shen flicked the bracelet and said indifferently, “Did you take even your master, and they all got tricked to death?”
“Clang clang~~~”
The bracelet emitted a crisp sound, sounding naïve and harmless, pleasing to the ear.
After absorbing Gu Shen’s spirit, the bracelet dimd significantly, as though it had been washed in ink, now exuding a sowhat “sinister and eerie” aura.
Gu Shen could already confirm… this divination bracelet was a sealed object associated with the [Goddess of Destiny’s Sanctuary], but its power was different, only providing a certain image.
By comparison,
Its guidance was clearer.
The pendant would tell you what is good or bad.
And it would tell you what “might” happen in the future.
As for good or bad… it’s up to the user to recognize it.
With “ng Xiao” as a lesson learned, Gu Shen felt that even if he saw the “Calamity Divination” provided by this bracelet, there was no need to be too nervous… being able to foresee an event in advance was already a huge advantage.
If Light City really ca to visit,
then he would be well-prepared, opening the door confidently, which would be better than having to improvise without warning.
…
…
When Gu Shen finished dealing with all the trivial matters,
the long-missed, familiar voice rang in his spirit sea.
“Shouldn’t that magic robe be dealt with too? It might also have so similar ‘spirit’ residue…”
Chu Ling had actually been watching everything happening in the courtyard.
She just understood well.
It wasn’t suitable to speak when Gu Shen was highly concentrated in spirit.
So, she patiently waited for Gu Shen to finish his tasks before making the final reminder.
“Don’t worry… the spirit of the magic robe has already been handled by earlier.”
Hearing this voice, Gu Shen felt extraordinarily at ease.
He sighed comfortably, found a chair in the corner of the courtyard, lay down slowly, closed his eyes, let his spirit sink… and then arrived at the familiar “Zero Zero One.”
He saw the girl who had been waiting for him in the carriage.
Gu Shen smiled from the bottom of his heart.
His spirit could finally relax.
In the Duolu River Disaster Realm, he had to face the Mirror Dream of Black Snow Mountain, the pursuit from Light City, the chanisms of the Netherworld Palace, and the sches of the travelers… one battle after another, and the calculations more exhausting than the fights, had drained a great deal of Gu Shen’s ntal energy.
Now.
He could finally lay down those defenses.
“Long wait…”
Gu Shen said sowhat apologetically, “I’m back.”
From the mont he stepped into the Duolu River,
he had severed the link with Chu Ling.
Although the ti wasn’t long… but seeing each other again at this mont felt like it had been ages.
And the next mont, this feeling of being out of place dissipated into thin air.
Chu Ling did not speak.
She simply opened her arms, then jumped into Gu Shen’s embrace, giving him a quiet hug.
“…”
Gu Shen was slightly taken aback.
Perhaps because his spirit was still imrsed in the mories of the “Nether River Blood Battle,”
he was caught off guard by the embrace and felt a bit at a loss, instinctively looking at his fingertips… in the Duolu River, his hands were covered in blood.
But fortunately here, he was only left with his soul, a clean soul.
Chu Ling silently hugged Gu Shen, recalling in her mind the scripts she had read, those lines responding to “I’m back.”
The best reply at this mont was probably “It’s good to be back.”
But this sentence, she had a hard ti saying out loud.
After pondering for a while, she added a few words, making it smoother to say.
“It’s good… to be back alive.”
What truly mattered wasn’t just coming back.
But coming back alive.
These slightly awkward, yet warm words made Gu Shen smile from the bottom of his heart.
He extended his hand to softly pat the head of the girl in his arms, his fingers stroking her soft hair.
It was a warm embrace.
The girl exuded a faint fragrance, which was very pleasant.
“Clang, clang…”
The train pressed forward tirelessly in the Deep Sea, the brilliant light arcs passing by outside the window like silent fireworks; in the depths of the sea, it was a quietly beautiful scene unseen by anyone else.
