Capítulo 1164: Chapter 67: First Encounter, Reunion

“Sizzle sizzle sizzle!”

This thin thread of Netherworld Fire was pressed into his wound by Gu Shen.

Netherworld Fire and Heavenly Sheath are both powers of the same level… In theory, the Netherworld Fire and Heavenly Sheath Power should neutralize each other and produce an effect.

This was the only method Gu Shen could think of that might remove the curse.

After all, he was the future Netherworld King!

Logically… what curse in this world could actually bring down the Netherworld King?

The sharp pain surfaced, but Gu Shen’s expression didn’t change.

However, his spirit was fiercely impacted at that moment.

Within his Spirit Sea, a wondrous “hallucination” appeared; at the moment when the Netherworld Fire and the Heavenly Sheath Curse interacted, his world suddenly turned black, and the spiritual power he had gathered became uncontrollable, drilling into the depths of his Heart Lake.

Gu Shen groaned.

He only felt as if he was using [Deep Sea] for the first time, as he was swept into a colossal vortex, unable to hear Chu Ling’s call from the Heart Sea.

When he “opened his eyes” again, he found himself in a foggy world.

The interaction of the Netherworld Fire and the Heavenly Sheath Fragment… triggered a wondrous Transcendent reaction, sending him into this unknown Dream.

Was this a pitch-black snow mountain?

The Netherworld Fire burned, only enough to illuminate a narrow area about three feet ahead.

Gu Shen looked around blankly, instinctively walking towards the other side of the fog.

In the distance through the mist, at the far, far edge of the snowy curtain, he seemed to glimpse a very withered and gaunt figure.

…

…

Snow Cage, tonight is a peaceful night.

The Tundra Prison had already started its second reconstruction. Mr. Ghost and Mr. Xue were fulfilling their duties as guardians and had replanned the deployment of the Sky Sheath Core Area… Due to the ongoing encirclement by Central City and Changye, with a large mobilization of manpower, the number of Transcendents responsible for the second construction naturally decreased.

Safety first.

At the Gu family’s temporary base, two Night Watchmen were on duty.

Since the last incident, the Gu family had strengthened the protection of a certain someone—

The northwind howled, kept at bay outside.

The house was very warm, as the Tomb Ghost read by the lamp, though the light was bright, he lay slumped over the desk, dozing off… For several consecutive nights, Xing Yun had barely slept.

Deciphering ancient texts is a task that exhausts one’s spirit.

The house was stacked with drawings.

These were all left by Gu Shen, long life technique drawings brought from Central Continent Linz… Chu Ling was also conducting research, but although she was exceptionally talented, her limited time on earth meant the deciphering she could achieve was limited.

The difficulty of translating these items was beyond imagination.

No matter how hard those without talent tried, in their entire life they could at most understand an “epilogue”… For instance, Ian, whose fame as a Master was widespread, but in this matter, he spent a hundred years with minimal gains.

Xing Yun’s head was hazy, not knowing how long he had been writing.

He just knew his spirit was hovering between reality and fantasy… often thinking he was fully awake, but upon opening his eyes, realized he had already fallen asleep before.

At other times, he felt he was deep in sleep, but turning around, found a thick stack of drawings beside him, all of which he had “unconsciously” written.

In this kind of environment, his already muddled memories became even more confused.

He often dreamed, of various bizarre and outlandish scenes…

He often dreamt of a snowy night, seeing an enormous giant on one knee in front of him, trying with all his might to pull out the “Sky-reaching Sword” before him but ultimately failing, the giant’s body pierced with Ice Swords, falling with a crash, the resulting dust and snow engulfing him.

This time.

He dreamt again.

Except within the Dream… it seemed he had come to a snow mountain.

This was a very strange feeling.

His soul seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, crossing the void, transcending the rules… then landing under the cover of countless snowflakes into a dried-up, dilapidated shell.

This Dream seemed to be different from those before.

…

…

“This Dream… the scene is very familiar…”

Gu Shen walked on the snow mountain.

His consciousness gradually awoke, and his sluggish thoughts began to accelerate.

“Is this… Black Snow Mountain?”

Gu Shen looked at the falling black snowflakes all around, and his expression grew solemn. After the interaction of the “Netherworld Fire” and “Heavenly Sheath Fragment”, he unexpectedly found himself in this place.

Of course, he wouldn’t think this was a coincidence.

Possessing the two-piece set of destiny, Gu Shen knew very well… this Dream must be a contract of some “causal” power.

In an instant, he thought of the scene from years ago when the Netherworld King traded with a traveller.

The greatest secret he had glimpsed beneath the Nether River!

Now perfectly recapped.

Except… as the extension of causality, he replaced the Netherworld King of the past, returning to this trading Black Snow Mountain, he didn’t know what he would see next, would the other side of the snow night mist be the traveller?

Was the traveller still alive? Right in this world?

So the large figure slain by the Empress before, was indeed a large “Angel Envoy”?

Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Shen’s mind.

He held his breath.

Arriving at the end of the mist, before the protruding rock wall of Black Snow Mountain, indeed there was a withered figure, Gu Shen stopped in his tracks, although his expression remained calm, he was inwardly shocked.
