Chapter 1594: 281: Return to Changye

Capítulo 1594: Chapter 281: Return to Changye

Two days later.

A silver-white sword light slowly suspended among the clouds.

“This is…Changye?”

Gu Xiaoman sat cross-legged on Gu Shen’s “Sword of Truth,” now high above the clouds, overlooking the square ancient city, feeling both the profound historical atmosphere and the ethereal, otherworldly mist.

“Yes, this is Changye.”

Gu Shen glanced at Gu Xiaoman with a smile.

This was the Changye she longed to see from afar.

“Let’s go down quickly, what are we waiting for?”

Gu Xiaoman’s eyes sparkled, she eagerly spoke.

“Don’t rush.”

Gu Shen replied leisurely: “Take a look around, and then look above…”

Gu Xiaoman looked up, seeing countless black mechanical vertical eyes hidden in the clouds.

“What’s this?”

Xiaoman had seen the “Heavenly Eye” controlled by the Deep Sea, but these mechanical vertical eyes were higher and more concealed. If not reminded by Gu Shen, she wouldn’t have noticed these overseers.

“This is Changye’s unique ‘eye,’ named ‘Wind Eye.’

Gu Shen smiled: “The Wind Eye captures every view of Changye; you can think of it as the Cloud Mirror created by the people of Changye.”

Gu Xiaoman was a bit nervous: “Aren’t we in danger now?”

Gu Shen had been waiting for this question.

“Not dangerous, with my sister-in-law around, it’s not dangerous.”

Sister-in-law?!

Gu Xiaoman was baffled.

Gu Shen stood on the iron sword, leisurely sent a mental message to Chu Ling…the countless “Wind Eyes” simultaneously stopped moving, the images they captured had already been processed by Chu Ling, a scene precisely made for Xiaoman to see.

The two slowly descended, landing on a hill outside Changye City and then entered the city via a small path.

It was Gu Xiaoman’s first time seeing such a classical old city; most areas in the Central Continent were skyscrapers and concrete jungles. Even a town like “Linz,” which retained a bit of historical feature, could not compare to the grandeur of Changye.

She widened her eyes, her gaze captured by a woman holding an umbrella at the city gate.

The breeze swirled, and the bell rang.

The woman, dressed in a red and white skirt, holding an umbrella, revealed only half of her face. The snow-white, jade-like jaw and stunning crimson lips attracted countless passersby.

This must be an exceptional beauty.

“Could this be…”

“Indeed.”

Just as Gu Xiaoman spoke, Gu Shen already took over the black umbrella, squeezing under it.

“???!” Gu Xiaoman was like struck by thunder, stunned in place.

“Isn’t this improper…”

A helpless female voice came from under the umbrella.

Chu Ling glanced back at Gu Xiaoman, saying, “The child isn’t grown yet.”

“There’s nothing wrong with knowing the gloomy side of the world at this age.”

Gu Shen joked, turning to ask: “The umbrella still has space, want to squeeze in?”

“No…no need.”

Gu Xiaoman quickly waved her hand; during the moment of shifting the umbrella, she had already seen Chu Ling’s face.

Beautiful beyond measure, simply stunning.

This sister looked like she stepped out of a painting!

However…why hadn’t Gu Shen mentioned this in the Sang Province Cave?

“If not coming under the umbrella, at least wear the ‘cloak’ for the ‘Wind Eye,’ as well as the ‘Cloud Mirror.'” Gu Shen advised as he led Xiaoman into the city.

Looking forward to the scenery of Snow Forbidden City.

Gu Xiaoman didn’t have much interest for sightseeing now; she was only pondering over the beauty of her sister-in-law.

She didn’t remember the good scenery.

Only remembered the glimpse of peerless elegance under the umbrella.

Thus they entered Qingzhong Cemetery, Chu Ling took the umbrella and left, entering the cemetery first, giving Gu Xiaoman the chance to be alone with Gu Shen.

She elbowed Gu Shen in the waist.

“That’s you, you…”

The little one was stuck, unable to say a word.

“Wife.”

Gu Shen helped her out, rounded off, smilingly asked: “Doesn’t match?”

“…”

Gu Xiaoman scratched her head. Though in her heart, Gu Shen was top priority, she couldn’t override her conscience and honestly replied: “Indeed not matching, but that’s you not matching her; really like a blessing from ancestors that you found such a good girl.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Shen’s eyes became somewhat complicated.

He chuckled softly, saying: “What you said isn’t wrong.”

Having disappeared for over five years in the Ice Sea.

Chu Ling sent the destiny gold thread to Ice Sea upon each recovery.

Day by day, year after year.

Such waiting, such steadfastness…whenever Gu Shen thought about it, he felt a sour ache.

“I’m usually quite lucky.” Gu Shen smiled: “Remember your sister-in-law’s name, Chu Ling.”

“Chu Ling…”

Gu Xiaoman seriously committed the name to memory.

“Never heard of it?” Gu Shen raised a brow and asked.

Gu Xiaoman shook her head.

Gu Shen scolded: “If you had inquired a bit more about things in East Continent over the years, you wouldn’t be ignorant even of ‘Chu Ling’s name.”

Chu Ling’s name was known to many in East Continent; she was the new Tomb Guardian of Changye, and the current sole Divination Inheritor from Master Qianye.

All along, Chu Ling and Gu Shen were seen as a “golden couple.”

Chu Ling always appeared together with Gu Shen, never alone.

Outsiders were unaware of the restriction from the Divine Temple Mountain, only thought this new cemetery Divination Master preferred tranquility and disliked socializing.

Thus, after Gu Shen’s death…

Chu Ling no longer appeared before the world.

There is less and less news about her, and there are even rumors that after Gu Shen’s death, she lost heart in guarding the cemetery and has already “followed him into martyrdom.”

The clamor and rumors of this world will gradually fade away.

Time will dilute everything.

Chu Ling has not shown up for five years, and people have slowly forgotten her, just as they once forgot Gu Shen.

…

…

Before long, the fog in the cemetery dispersed.

Gu Shen, accompanied by Gu Xiaoman, walked slowly towards the depths of the Qingzhong. Chu Ling controlled the formation, helping them avoid the other Transcendents worshipping in the cemetery, leading them directly into the inner tomb.

Nearly six years have passed.

The Qingzhong Cemetery now is no longer shrouded in golden fog as it was back then.

It has returned to tranquility, with no more anomalies floating around.

This is not because the Bai Shu Divine Throne’s realm has receded.

On the contrary… this just happens to be a manifestation of the Battle God Domain’s perfect fusion with the divine throne!

The true Great Success Divine Domain does not need to display anomalies all the time.

The cemetery is incredibly calm now because everything here has been refined and controlled by Mr. Bai Shu.

Gu Xiaoman clutched Gu Shen’s sleeve, a bit nervous as she could feel the powerful aura permeating the air…

The closer they got to the inner tomb, the more fierce the battle intent of the Battle God Throne became.

As the future owner destined by the “Wine Spark.”

She is extremely sensitive to the aura of the “Battle Fire”—

The previous Lord of the Wine, Di Jiu, fell in this cemetery.

In that Divine War, Gu Changzhi completely crushed Di Jiu.

The golden divine domain of battle also left a certain shadow on the “Wine Spark.”

“I’m a little scared.”

Gu Xiaoman murmured softly, standing before the golden mist of the inner tomb, her heart, the part connected with the spark, gave birth to a strong resistance, no matter what, she refused to take another step forward.

Gu Shen saw this and smiled helplessly.

The Wine Spark is scared?

Well, it makes sense… The last owner was brutally killed by Gu Changzhi, and as a divine artifact with certain consciousness, having seen such a scene, how could it not be frightened?

“Rest assured, Mr. Bai Shu is not a bad person, he won’t hurt you.”

He comforted softly, “If you can, pass on a strand of spirit, tell the ‘Wine Spark’ not to worry, this visit to the tomb, is not for fighting, but for visiting as a guest.”

“Phew…”

Gu Xiaoman took deep breaths repeatedly.

“Gu Shen, finally we meet again. How does the taste of the Ice Sea feel?”

At this moment, from within the inner tomb, a tender boyish laughter sounded.

Hundreds of strands of golden divine radiance swiftly flew out from the void, consolidating not far from the two.

The [Reversed Divine Domain] has already perfectly fused with the Battle Fire.

Under the blessings of triple domains.

Mr. Bai Shu’s “Divine Throne Shell,” his age would occasionally fluctuate… this is his cultivation within the divine domain.

Now appearing before Gu Shen is a divine vessel that looks only about ten years old.

The child Bai Shu appeared with a smile.

Though he appeared very young, the power hidden within this divine body is exceptionally strong; with every move, the massive source quality flowing in the void subtly trembled.

“Is this… the East Continent’s Battle God Throne?”

Gu Xiaoman incredulously looked at the boy in front, and the inexplicable fear in her heart mysteriously dissipated by more than half.

“Oh.”

Bai Shu squinted his eyes, looking at the little girl before him.

“Mr. Bai Shu… this is ‘Gu Xiaoman.’

Gu Shen bowed and spoke softly, “The girl I rescued back in Sangzhou Cave.”

“I know, she is the next Lord of the Wine.”

“The cloaks you two wear, quite impressive.”

Bai Shu marveled with a smile, “Stepping into Qingzhong Cemetery and facing me directly, I didn’t even notice the ‘Flame Breath’… No wonder you dare bring the ‘Lord of the Wine’ into Changye, with such level of treasures, surely you needn’t worry about being detected by the [Cloud Mirror]. Are these cloaks the gain from the Ice Sea mission?”

“Yes, but not entirely.”

Gu Shen chuckled, “The matter of the Ice Sea, it’s quite complex; allow me to explain slowly later… but our gains are not just two cloaks.”

He unfolded the field.

“Shush—”

Under Bai Shu’s permission, the Pure Land was allowed to spread, countless branches and leaves swaying in the air.

To showcase a “sense of shock.”

Gu Shen directly unboxed the nano-compressed Black Silver crate, letting heaps of pure Black Silver fall to the ground.

“??? “

The calm, gentle expression on Bai Shu’s face instantly froze.

Seeing Gu Shen releasing Black Silver, Gu Xiaoman also unfolded [Dissolving Dream].

The little one waved her hand, tearing open a gap in the cemetery’s void, like unzipping a zipper, [Dissolving Dream] inverted dream and reality, now Gu Xiaoman also began unloading.

Bang bang bang!

For a moment, the sounds on the small hill of the inner tomb were like thunder.

Dozens of seconds later, Bai Shu, looking at the mountain-like stack of Black Silver, felt disoriented.

This was Bai Shu’s first time doubting his eyes…

Is this Black Silver?

The kind that the entire Five Continents put together couldn’t produce much of in terms of pounds?

The Black Silver before him, piled into a small mountain! This is a quantity that would stun, that would shake another divine throne into awe!

“If you want to know what we brought back from the Ice Sea, perhaps it’s these…”

Gu Shen said sincerely, “A total of two thousand seven hundred pounds of Black Silver.”
