Chapter 110 Eyes

Outside Changye City.

The *Feng Tong* (Wind Eyes) hung high, thousands of *Feng Tong* arrayed above the clouds, swaying in the wind, the formation spreading... These were the eyes of Changye. In the twenty years that Gu Changzhi slept, these eyes watched over this world for the god.

The Changye District was the most stable district among the nine, without exception.

Criminals who violated the Federation's laws would definitely stay far away from this district, the farther the better... because the *Feng Tong's* ability to capture the aura of transcendents was too acute.

In addition, the Grand Judge, the Grand Commander, and the heads of the five great families were stationed here... except for a certain Grand Adjudicator who wandered in the Eastern Continent, responsible for capturing heavyweight fugitives abroad, and only occasionally returned. The most powerful and cohesive combat power of the Eastern Continent Council was gathered here.

Apart from the divine seat who wielded the power of the Fire Seed, indeed no one else had the courage or ability to invade Changye.

The "Owl" who once stirred up the situation in Dadu, if he were to move the Evergreen Foundation to Changye... then within half a year, it would be uprooted. This was not to say that Changye's strength overwhelmed Dadu.

Rather, the most mature protection system and the most powerful surveillance power in the entire Eastern Continent were placed here.

"Lord Bai!"

Inside the *Feng Tong* Surveillance Room.

A prison official, with a solemn expression, called up the *Feng Tong* images outside Snow Forbidden City...

Above the dome of clouds, wind and frost swept past.

The northernmost *Feng Tong* of Changye were covered with frost at the same time.

The surface of the *Feng Tong* was coated with a strong logic material, which could not be damaged even by severe weather. The occurrence of this phenomenon was obviously the influence of transcendent abilities.

Bai Chen, draped in a white Judge's robe, remained calm, staring silently at the screen.

This surveillance room possessed the highest *Shen Hai* (Deep Sea) authority in theory within the Eastern Continent Council. After all, the *Feng Tong* protected the tranquility of the entire district, and if anything unusual happened, they would provide specific image capture at the first moment.

However... this time the image capture seemed to have failed.

The *Feng Tong* saw nothing.

The covering wind and snow condensed for a moment, then melted on its own.

As if... nothing had happened.

"Huh..."

The official in charge of surveillance scratched his head in confusion, "Did I see it wrong?"

The *Feng Tong* did not issue an alarm.

This meant that everything just now was a false alarm.

Bai Chen retracted his gaze, pressed down his brimmed hat, and said softly, "I'm going out for a while."

He left the surveillance room, straddled his motorcycle, and after starting it, sped all the way towards the location of those northern *Feng Tong* of Changye, with invisible mental fluctuations spreading behind him... The next moment, a huge phantom of a god appeared behind Bai Chen's fluttering robe.

It was a black-robed reaper holding a scythe.

The Arbiter.

"Arbiter... find 'it'."

The reaper holding the scythe high, emitting a faint light under his black robe, now held the scythe flat with his withered hands, a gleam of light swept across the bright blade, and finally it looked in one direction.

"Boom!"

This specially made motorcycle, at this moment, was blessed by Bai Chen's transcendent source matter, instantly accelerated, almost breaking the sound barrier, and in a few seconds turned into a phantom, like a falling meteorite, roaring out extremely wildly.

What spewed out of the exhaust pipe seemed not to be fuel and exhaust gas, but a person's boiling blood!

Soon, Bai Chen arrived in the northern part of Changye, a towering stone wall. He twisted the throttle, with no intention of slowing down at all, his robe flying in the dust.

Beneath the brimmed hat were calm and indifferent eyes.

In the distance, there was a cloud of snow.

Yes.

It was a... cloud of snow.

It "slowly" swept across the sky, freezing those *Feng Tong* one by one after touching them, and then restoring them after dissipating.

In fact, the speed of that snow cloud was no slower than the motorcycle blessed by the Arbiter.

In another ten minutes at most, it could reach the sky above Snow Forbidden City.

In that snow cloud, a vague figure could be faintly seen... that figure was the true body of the "snow cloud."

"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"

Bai Chen increased his strength and charged towards the snow cloud.

The Arbiter swung his scythe!

Mud splattered.

This strike was not intended to kill, but it stirred up dust within a radius of hundreds of meters. On the barren expanse of northern Changye, there were pillars of mud and dust surging upwards, like a sky curtain!

At this moment, the officials sitting in the surveillance room were shocked and confused.

Lord Bai Chen's speed was so fast... he had already reached the northern border. But what confused them even more was that there were still no abnormal scenes in the *Feng Tong*. They could only see Bai Chen wielding his scythe as the Arbiter, shaking the dust!

The motorcycle, as if infused with living blood, made a very large turn on the ground. Bai Chen did not press the brakes at all, but used one foot as a brake, forcibly stopping the motorcycle, while the surging mud and dust surged towards the snow cloud.

"Boom—"

The snow cloud encountered mud and dust.

It also encountered the mental fluctuations transmitted by Bai Chen!

A clear, cold warning voice reverberated across this land!

"Changye ahead... Apostles are forbidden."

The transcendent who could deceive the *Feng Tong* must have extremely strong strength, so strong that they could shield the sky with their mental power. Transcendent of this level generally had the Federation's title authorization.

But their entry into Changye would never cause such a "strange" scene.

Because shielding the sky with mental power was, in a sense, also telling the *Feng Tong* - I'm here.

At this moment, the *Feng Tong* seemed to have seen a ghost.

And there was only one possibility that could cause this phenomenon...

The other party's authority within *Shen Hai* was higher than that of the prison!

The visitor possessed the "freedom" granted by the highest seat, and those who possessed this "freedom"... apart from the Divine Seat, there were only Apostles!

The figure in the snow cloud heard this strand of mental fluctuation.

The mud and dust fell surging.

The original turbid mud and dust, after falling, turned into a clean, immaculate snow rain... Bai Chen looked up, squinting his eyes, watching the rustling white crystals fall.

Each grain of snow dust was a pure, immaculate crystal.

In just a few seconds, the mud that had splashed up was purified by the power in the snow cloud.

"Sorry..."

A very soft voice came from the snow cloud.

The large swaths of snow mist gradually converged and fell. The officials in the surveillance room, hundreds of miles away, were still unable to capture the visitor's image through the *Feng Tong*... but Bai Chen, standing not far away, saw clearly the true appearance of the figure in the snow cloud.

The snow mist gathered and poured into one person's body.

That figure was slender and graceful, with long hair draped over her shoulders, like a snow country maiden.

After all the snow mist dissipated, she revealed her true face.

Beneath the wool felt hat was a pale face like an ice sculpture. Even this young woman's pupils... were white.

However, this white was different from the color of the whites of her eyes.

Deep in her pupils was a silver-white.

"I thought that this place had not yet reached the border of Changye, so using 'Domain' to hurry on my way would not be against the rules."

The felt-hat woman, like an ice sculpture, was surprisingly polite in her words and actions.

She slowly shifted her gaze, her silver-white pupils looking behind Bai Chen.

The Arbiter floating in the air, holding a scythe... suddenly felt pressure.

"Crack crack crack..."

With just a few seconds of staring, a thin layer of frost covered the Arbiter's black robe.

What kind of gaze was this?

It could even freeze mental power... Bai Chen's expression was a little unsightly.

This guy's strength... should not be underestimated. Judging from this outfit, did she come from the north?

"My name is A'liuer."

The woman took off her felt hat, bowed slightly, and said softly, "By order of Her Majesty the Queen of the North, I have come to Changye to pay a visit... I am looking for someone."

An Apostle of the Queen of the North!

The relationship between the Eastern Continent and the Northern Continent was not terrible...

After the other party explained her intentions, Bai Chen's expression softened.

In his heart, he was not really flustered, because the current Eastern Continent was different from before... His Bai family ancestor was sitting in Changye's Qing Tomb. If an Apostle of a Divine Seat from another continent really dared to overstep the line, then a Divine Seat would naturally come forward!

Bai Chen said softly, "Who are you looking for?"

"That person... his surname is Gu."

A'liuer smiled and said, "Gu Shen."

…

…

Gu Shen was currently cultivating in Spring Rain Temple.

A wisp of fire will, surging in the center of his brow.

The golden band vibrated.

In the void, crisp sounds kept bursting out, hair flying, blazing fire shooting in all directions.

However... that golden band remained motionless.

No matter how he operated "Jingzhe" (Awakening of Insects) and "Guyu" (Grain Rain), he could not break through this golden band.

However, after multiple visualizations, Gu Shen had not gained nothing.

When operating the "Spring Breath," he immersed himself in the Pure Land world... as if sitting cross-legged under a *Su Su* tree.

The current Pure Land, after Gu Changzhi and Qianye Yuanxing left, seemed to possess infinite vitality and vigor.

A spring rain.

All things revived.

One gold spike flower after another bloomed in the distance. Although they had not fully grown, they already had a considerable scale as they swayed in the wind. When they fully grew in the future, it would definitely be a golden sea.

In the meditation of the Pure Land world, Gu Shen vaguely sensed the direction of the next step.

Breathing technique.

Many transcendents believed that this was just a method to assist in stabilizing "mental power."

But in fact, it was not so...

This was a path!

A great path!

In the era without *Shen Hai*, transcendents who wanted to cultivate needed to rely on various visualization ideas to stabilize their minds... Thus, the breathing technique was created. In fact, there were different breathing techniques in each era to adapt to different transcendents.

The path of transcendent cultivation was not that the older it was, the more powerful it was.

This path was not immutable.

It was just... those transcendents trapped in the rules were destined not to surpass their predecessors.

"Has my Spring Breath reached its limit?"

Gu Shen vaguely felt that relying on the power of the Spring Breath was no longer enough to break through this golden band.

His Spring Scroll had already been cultivated to perfection.

The revival of all things in the Pure Land world was the best proof.

And after spring... came summer!

"'Mangzhong' (Grain in Ear), 'Dashu' (Great Heat)..." Gu Shen murmured, "Mr. Changzhi did not mention this so-called Summer Breath before he left, and there was no record of the whereabouts of other breathing techniques in the Third Institute..."

All that the Eastern Continent had were Jingzhe and Guyu, which were split into two halves.

However, Gu Changzhi's Four Seasons Wilderness was world-renowned... Everyone knew which breathing techniques corresponded to the four seasons.

Two combined into one, a total of eight scrolls.

But precisely, people had only seen the first two scrolls.

"The revival of all things is the beginning... Having comprehended the Spring Breath, there is unlimited possibility to evolve the subsequent seasons?" A glimmer of light appeared in Gu Shen's heart. He understood the true intention of Mr. Gu Changzhi in creating the Four Seasons Wilderness.

This path was different for everyone who walked it!

Starting from the Spring Scroll.

To the Summer Scroll... it was the transcendent themselves who began to create!

The Great Dao possessed unlimited possibilities.

"I hope that my 'summer'... is vital enough, with all things growing in this season, and the Pure Land being immortal in this season." Gu Shen closed his eyes and spoke softly. He tried to evolve the next scroll of breathing technique after the Spring Breath.

His breathing technique!

Suddenly, a great wind swept through the Pure Land world.

Tie Wu, who was carrying a basket and hoeing in the distance, was hit by this sudden hot wind. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and gritted his teeth, muttering in a low voice, "Damn it, it's so hot, it's going to kill me... What's wrong with this damn weather?"

"Boom!"

The next moment!

Thunder rumbled above the dome.

Tie Wu was startled by this extremely deep rumble!

He looked up and saw rain clouds rapidly gathering above the sky. However, it was completely different from the scene during the continuous spring rain... The entire Pure Land became oppressive. This leaden cloud layer was extremely low, and there were constant muffled thunder sounds echoing, and grass leaves flying.

Tie Wu looked up, his heart pointing, and turned back.

He saw the huge ancient tree in the distance, its thousands of branches swaying, making a gesture of worship.

A young figure sat cross-legged under the ancient tree.

This gust of hot wind rolled up a sea of leaves, rolling towards Gu Shen under the ancient tree...

"Is Lord Divine Seat deducing the world?"

Tie Wu suddenly fell silent.

He put down his hoe, his expression solemn as he watched the phenomena of the heaven and earth, and muttered, "Since that's the case, let it be hot... anyway, I won't really be scorched to death..."

A humid, sultry air swept through this heaven and earth.

The hot wind of this world, with Gu Shen's breathing, slowly pulsated.

Exhale.

Inhale.

It was just that the stuffy rain never fell.

Gu Shen's first deduction of "Summer Solstice Breath" was unsuccessful.

Several hours later, he withdrew from the mental world.

The branches of the ancient tree slowly fell, returning to calm, and the sweltering heat between heaven and earth also slowly disappeared, returning to the original cool "early spring season" with a slight chill.

Tie Wu carried his hoe, somewhat disappointed.

He had been watching the entire process, vaguely guessing Gu Shen's intention, and sighed softly, "It seems that Lord Divine Seat... is trying to change the laws of heaven and earth with his own strength, and give this world new vitality..."

"Lord Divine Seat is so diligent..."

Tie Wu took a deep breath, gripped his hoe again, and straightened his bamboo hat, "Then I have to work even harder!"

…

…

After exiting the Pure Land.

Gu Shen felt that his mental power, which had not increased for a long time, had actually loosened a little.

Obviously, his direction was correct!

And that golden band was no longer completely unbreakable...

Under the collision of the blazing fire, there was a vague force of resistance.

Gu Shen put two fingers together and pressed them to the center of his brow. After taking a deep breath, a weak blaze of fire constantly collided with the golden band, finally forming with difficulty. Although it was only for an instant, it was promptly twisted off by two fingers...

Gu Shen smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at the wisp of firelight lingering on his fingertip, slowly dissipating.

Sure enough... there were no shortcuts in mental cultivation.

If he wanted to break through this golden band, he had to work hard.

This was actually good news.

What Gu Shen lacked the least was the determination and perseverance to work hard.

"Dong..."

Just then, a knock sounded outside the door.

Due to the introversion of his mental power, Gu Shen had not noticed it in advance.

He tidied his clothes and slowly went to open the door... Before opening the door, several people's names appeared in Gu Shen's mind.

But he never expected it.

The visitor was a woman he had never met, with snow-white hair reaching her waist, draped in a cloak and wearing a felt hat.

Most importantly... Chu Ling had not given him any warning.

"This woman is an Apostle... Due to the authority of the highest seat, Changye's *Feng Tong* cannot capture her trail."

Through the mental link, Chu Ling shared Gu Shen's vision within 001. It was not until Gu Shen opened the door that she saw this ghost-like existence with her own eyes.

"... Hmm."

Gu Shen frowned slightly.

Without Chu Ling speaking, from the moment he saw the other party, he guessed the answer in his heart.

"Crack crack crack..."

Gu Shen noticed that frost had condensed on the position where she had knocked on the door.

It was actual ice and snow!

This woman seemed to have a strange "freezing power."

And with just one glance, Gu Shen immediately felt a biting chill...

He reached out and touched his cheek.

He actually felt a thin layer of ice chips...

With a "chi" sound.

A wisp of fire ignited in the center of Gu Shen's brow... It was not a blazing fire, but the fire of battle contained within the golden band. This wisp of fire was not strong, but it was awe-inspiring. Even if there were only a few strands, it easily burned to "boiling," and finally curled into a golden mist.

And in the mist, a vague golden face slowly condensed.

Bai Shu calmly overlooked the visitor.

The Apostle bent one knee slightly, performed a great salute, and said respectfully, "A'liuer greets Lord Divine Seat of Battle..."

Before she could finish speaking.

"If you cannot control your ability, you can close those eyes."

Bai Shu's voice rang out, interrupting her.

A'liuer was stunned.

Her ability was called *Shuang Sha* (Frost Kill), which was an extremely terrifying natural force. *Shuang Sha* could erupt with exceptionally powerful killing power, and the corresponding difficulty of controlling it was also very high... In fact, within the Northern Continent, she could steadily suppress *Shuang Sha*, but now she was carrying out a mission, far away from the Northern Continent and far away from Her Majesty, so this originally stable suppressed ability had shown some abnormalities.

Where the gaze reached, frost spread.

A'liuer was somewhat uneasy on the way, because the abnormality of *Shuang Sha*... was really bad news. This could easily make the transcendents of Changye think that she had come with malicious intent.

Fortunately, after some communication, Bai Chen, who had blocked the way, did not reject her, but brought her to Changye City.

However... the thing she was worried about had indeed happened.

Was the new Divine Seat of Battle angry?

A'liuer sighed softly in her heart and obediently closed her eyes.

"You can open them."

Unexpectedly, just as A'liuer closed her eyes, Bai Shu's voice sounded gently.

A'liuer reopened her eyes in confusion when she heard this.

She saw that in front of the Spring Rain Temple gate, the ice chips that had been frozen by her gaze had returned to their original state... What was going on?

The nature of objects touched by *Shuang Sha* had already changed.

Unless time was reversed, how could it be... completely restored?

Wait a moment...

A'liuer raised her palm, a piece of ice mirror condensed in her palm, and she looked at herself in the ice mirror.

Those pale pupils had returned to black.

"I and that Queen of the North... were also old acquaintances."

Bai Shu said softly, "A'liuer, from now on, Snow Forbidden City will open its gates for you. In my divine domain, you don't have to worry about the *Shuang Sha* power leaking and causing losses."

A'liuer's expression was complicated.

Of course, she had seen miracles... but the miracles of the Divine Seat of Battle were indeed incredible.

And Gu Shen, who was watching quietly from the side, saw it very clearly.

Now, Bai Shu's divine domain had covered the entire Snow Forbidden City.

Superimposed with several layers of [Flow Reversal], made this ancient city extremely safe. Even if a devastating blow came... as long as Bai Shu was still alive, as long as there was one breath, it could be recast and restored.

Of course... Bai Shu's [Flow Reversal] could not violate the iron law of life and death.

He could only restore inanimate objects.

Just now, it was the power of the divine domain that was activated, not only [Flow Reversing] the ice chips on the door, but also estimating to have [Flow Reversed] all the frozen objects that A'liuer had walked along the way.

In addition, a strand of battle spirit was pressed on A'liuer's forehead.

She could not see it.

But Gu Shen could see it... It was a strand of invisible battle fire, which should be the same as the "golden band" on his brow.

However, the strength was increased.

In Snow Forbidden City, A'liuer's *Shuang Sha* was suppressed to a very safe level.

No wonder.

In the past twenty years, the other continents had such a strong foundation.

It turned out that having a Divine Seat in his "peak years" was such a safe feeling... In Snow Forbidden City covered by the divine domain, Bai Shu was an invincible existence. His one thought could reach any corner of Snow Forbidden City.

Here, he was the true "god" in the true sense.

It was also no wonder that Bai Shu allowed him to go to the Underworld's mansion to retrieve things with peace of mind... I was afraid that without Shen Li, even if he walked in swaggeringly, no one would find out.

"... Thank you, Lord Divine Seat."

A'liuer took a deep breath.

She looked at the golden mist above Gu Shen's head and spoke seriously.

She did not know the existence of the "golden band," but only said that with the power of the Divine Seat, it was not surprising to show his divinity and appear anywhere in the divine domain... The fact that it appeared above Gu Shen's head at this moment also proved Gu Shen's importance.

It was just that this scene was quite ironic.

Because the golden mist that A'liuer knelt down and thanked was very faint.

It looked like she was thanking Gu Shen.

Gu Shen subconsciously wanted to say, "Rise, my subject"…

"Heh."

Bai Shu, who could listen to the sounds of all living beings, smiled faintly.

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Shen, then calmly "hmmed" in response to A'liuer's thanks, without responding much, and just slowly dissipated.

Gu Shen's expression remained unchanged, but he silently gathered his sleeves and raised an insulting middle finger.

What did this "heh" mean?

Old geezer, he must have been eavesdropping on his thoughts!
