"A seed..."

Gu Shen crouched down, brushed aside the mud, slowly extended his fingers, and pinched up the seed covered in grime.

"This is something that originally didn't exist in the Seasons Wilderness."

Chu Ling, recalling the scene of the vast wilderness, softly lamented, "You've walked a path that belongs to you."

"No..."

Gu Shen shook his head.

He remembered meeting the tomb guardian, also in a vast wilderness, and in that spiritual world, there stood an ancient tree!

If that was the "Seasons Wilderness" shaped by Gu Changzhi, then that meant... seeds also existed there.

It was just that in that wilderness, there was only one tree.

Did Mr. Gu Changzhi only plant one tree?

Or... could he only plant one tree?

The answers to these questions were impossible to know.

Gu Shen slowly withdrew from the state of "comprehension."

He opened his eyes and saw the complex gazes of hundreds of people in the entire dojo...

"Fifty-one minutes," Chu Ling smiled. "Among the comprehension score records that can be found in the prison, it ranks second."

If she remembered correctly... a comprehension time within two hours could be considered a transcendent with S-grade potential.

Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief. Although his meditation had taken some time, this comprehension score... was completely worthy of an S-grade rating.

It could also be considered giving Zhou Jiren some face.

However, a score of fifty-one minutes... could only rank second?

"Who's first?" he asked, puzzled.

"Bai, Bai Xiu," Chu Ling said solemnly. "A maverick organizer... He didn't join the Three Institutes, and he refused to be absorbed by any transcendent organization. Because of the restrictions of the Bai family, the Eastern Continent Federation chose to turn a blind eye to this top genius."

"Bai Xiu..."

Hearing this name, Gu Shen subconsciously looked towards the brother and sister not far away.

The Bai family's witch, and her brother, the prison's second-in-command.

Naturally, this gaze did not escape the other party's notice.

Bai Lu returned his gaze keenly, but Gu Shen quickly shifted his gaze. She was slightly annoyed and disdainfully said, "Is this a demonstration... Comprehending the Guyu Scroll, what's so great about it?"

Bai Chen suddenly asked, "You seem to care about this young man?"

Bai Lu realized that she had said too much, so she quickly shook her head and said, "I'm just taking a look for Little Xiu... at his future opponent."

"I must remind you, no matter what ideas you had before... you need to rethink them now, and it's best not to provoke Gu Shen." Bai Chen said solemnly, "He has the Grand Arbiter and the Zhao family of the capital behind him."

Bai Lu was slightly stunned.

"The Zhao family is in the past... it's more appropriate to replace them with Huazhi."

Bai Chen glanced at the corner and said, "Did you see the woman over there? That's Lu Nanzhi's younger sister, Lu Nanjin, Gu Shen's senior sister. As far as I know, Huazhi values Gu Shen extremely highly."

That beautiful woman holding a wooden sword?

The Bai family's witch narrowed her eyes slightly, lost in thought.

Of course she knew Lu Nanzhi.

The current master of Huazhi.

The capital's Huazhi possessed the Eastern Continent's top transcendent technology, and a powerful economic strength sufficient to influence an entire region.

This Tribunal's S-grade, inconspicuous, with a file sealed by the council, impossible to view... except for a very few high-ranking figures like Bai Chen who could get a glimpse of the capital's files, almost no one in Nagano knew about the close connection between Gu Shen and Huazhi.

"Thanks for the reminder." The witch smiled with interest, "I'll consider it carefully."

...

...

"Comprehending the Guyu Scroll... only took fifty-one minutes."

Gong Zi was somewhat dumbfounded.

He scratched his cheek, really not expecting that this S-grade was so fierce. Because the comprehension time was too fast... the crowd that had gathered inside and outside the dojo had just arrived and started to disperse.

The crowd surged.

The image presented by the snow grains also shook violently, no longer stable.

This "theft" mapping, which was positively correlated with spiritual power, was also related to the surrounding transcendent aura and the rate of image fluctuations.

Fatty Mu Nan waved his hand to dismiss his spiritual power.

He adjusted his glasses and clicked his tongue in admiration, "The Deep Water Area forum has already exploded."

Another top genius who came out of nowhere!

The appearance of this S-grade... was too sudden, like a bomb suddenly thrown into Nagano, suddenly telling everyone that such a little guy had been discovered, and he was on his way to Nagano!

And when he came, he was already showing his talent.

"Fifty-one minutes... another Bai Xiu." Gong Zi's expression was uncertain, and sweat oozed from his forehead. "In this year's rookie battle, do others still have a chance to stand out?"

"He's different from Bai Xiu."

The fatty thought for a while and said, "The 'spiritual radiance' when he comprehended the Guyu Scroll was black, Bai Xiu's was white."

Hearing this, Gong Zi was slightly stunned.

"That's right..." He frowned and pondered, "Why is this guy's spiritual radiance so strange when he comprehends? Pitch black, it looks kind of creepy..."

"Color doesn't matter, he doesn't seem like a bad person." The fatty smiled innocently, "In short... I don't like Bai Xiu, I like Gu Shen."

...

...

The Grand Judge personally took the Guyu Scroll handed over by Gu Shen.

He stared deeply at the young man in front of him... After comprehending the ancient scroll, Gu Shen's aura was even more restrained. He couldn't see any progress in the young man's transcendent aura at all.

But without a doubt.

Gu Shen had successfully fused the second volume of breathing techniques.

Over the years, Mr. Shan had encountered such a situation for the first time. The other party was just a young man with a low realm, who had not even figured out his transcendent abilities.

But no matter how he looked at it, it was like looking through a layer of mist.

He couldn't see clearly.

"Thank you."

Gu Shen bowed, feeling relaxed.

The most important thing in coming to Nagano... although there were some twists and turns, the result was still smooth.

After fusing the two volumes of breathing techniques, he clearly felt that his spiritual power had expanded, as if his entire field of vision had invisibly become larger.

Jingzhe and Guyu merged into the "Breath of Spring."

At this moment, with every breath Gu Shen took, he felt vitality erupting within his chest.

The speed of spiritual power cultivation doubled again!

He vaguely had a feeling... if he were to return to the Jiangtan or Yuandan Street of a few months ago, facing Qu Shui or Shi Li, the killing power and duration that the Ruler of Truth could unleash would increase geometrically.

He couldn't wait to find a deserted place to see what his spiritual world looked like.

Unfortunately.

Things were not settled.

Lan Qie, carrying Gu Nanfeng's voice, simultaneously reached Gu Shen and Mr. Shan's ears.

"Little Gu... Master Chino wants to meet you."

This sentence was only conveyed to the two of them.

With ulterior motives.

Gu Shen was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Master Chino wants to see me... is it in the spiritual world or...?"

"In Qingzuka."

Gu Nanfeng said in a deep voice, "She's waiting for you in Qingzuka!"
