Chapter 137 Seed

Gu Shen always felt that something was missing here.

Since it was spring...

Then...it shouldn't be so lifeless. After the Awakening of Insects and Grain Rain, the world should be full of vitality, and all things should recover.

He finally knew what was missing in this wilderness.

It was vitality!

Gu Shen stretched out his finger and touched the water droplet.

At the moment of contact, reality and illusion intertwined... For a moment, he seemed to be in the seasonal wilderness with heavy rain, and for a moment, he seemed to be back in the dojo reading the ancient sheepskin scroll. However, those "spiritual guides" left by Gu Changzhi were gradually erased from his mind in Gu Shen's deliberate contemplation!

He wanted to forget the guidance that Mr. Gu Changzhi left for future generations—

He would walk a path that belonged to him... alone!

Gu Shen suddenly raised his head.

The stagnant time returned to normal at this moment!

Above the seasonal wilderness, countless water droplets fell!

The crackling sound of rain enveloped the entire wilderness. In Gu Shen's narrowed eyes, countless slender rain threads were reflected, and he could clearly feel the texture of touching the sheepskin scroll in the material world.

Was this... true contemplation?

He seemed to have transformed into a wandering and cohesive wave, his consciousness wandering between the two extremes of the spiritual dream and the material world.

Countless mental powers exploded, like mist, no longer having boundaries.

To walk a completely new path.

He had to forget the footprints of his predecessors. Gu Shen touched the ancient characters again, but not according to the writing trajectory left by Gu Changzhi, but in accordance with the induction of the Blazing Fire.

He began to contemplate again.

And this time... what he saw was a lonely, desolate, and dark world.

From the moment he began to contemplate, he became the only master of this spiritual world. Even Chu Ling, who accompanied him, shattered.

This was a... lonely world.

Perhaps because the entire contemplative world had been reshaped by Gu Shen, everything in this wilderness had been erased. There were no flying weeds, and no falling raindrops, only a desolate and desolate earth.

Yes.

There was nothing here originally... Gu Changzhi created a "spiritual world."

And this time, Gu Shen wanted to create his own "Seasonal Wilderness" from the Grain Rain Scroll.

Gu Shen released the Blazing Fire in his palm.

The small flame joyfully collided back and forth in the rain, like a child running wild and celebrating. This scene looked both ridiculous and funny... The fireball, which had finally grown to the size of a baby's fist, dragged a slender tail of flame and shuttled through the rain, whistling.

Gu Shen said softly, "Let there be light."

The dim and chaotic sky produced a ray of light because of this sentence...

The Blazing Fire shuttled back and forth, scattering its "afterglow." In fact, those lights were all the extraordinary source matter that Gu Shen had painstakingly absorbed in the capital. Part of it was obtained from missions, and the other part was collected from the extraordinary beings of the Longevity Foundation.

This small fireball quickly consumed its "stockpile."

The world of the Grain Rain Scroll looked infinitely vast, but in fact... the range of the fireball's collision back and forth was only a few hundred meters in radius. But even with such a narrow area, after flying three times in the sky above the wilderness, the "Blazing Fire," which was originally the size of a baby's fist, was only half its original size.

After having light.

The dim wilderness had a hint of "vitality."

Gu Shen continued, "There must also be water."

The original "Grain Rain" was a majestic rain bead condensed by Gu Changzhi with his spiritual power. At this moment... Gu Shen began to condense the "water" in his own spiritual world. The Blazing Fire continued to scatter its extraordinary source matter. This small flame, which was originally as stingy as a Pixiu that only swallowed and didn't spit, was now incredibly generous, pouring out its extraordinary source matter and sprinkling raindrops in the sky above the wilderness.

In just one round, the Blazing Fire became as pitiful as a fingernail.

That was the "scale" when Gu Shen first started practicing.

Sprinkling rain was something that the "Blazing Fire's" extraordinary source matter could not do, but when Gu Shen had the idea of "There must be water," a sense seemed to emerge from the sheepskin scroll.

In the dark, a force emerged in the spiritual world.

The water mist sprinkled by the Blazing Fire actually condensed at an extremely fast speed... and formed a spring rain.

Looking at this scene...

Gu Shen was a little dazed.

This was the true effect of the Grain Rain Scroll... If someone shaped the spiritual world and reached the point of "bringing down the spring rain," the sheepskin scroll would give great assistance. And the spiritual wilderness left by Mr. Gu Changzhi seemed to be guiding extraordinary beings step by step.

But if one really went far enough, one would realize.

This entire spiritual world could be shaped by oneself!

The true "mystery" of the Grain Rain Scroll did not lie in what the contemplative world was like, but in the rain hanging in the sky... A thousand people comprehending it might condense a thousand different Grain Rains.

"Finally..."

Gu Shen recalled the scene of meeting the tomb keeper.

It was a wilderness like his own.

But different... that world had an old tree.

Gu Shen murmured softly, "This world... must also have trees."

"There must be many trees, towering trees."

"There must be flowers, there must be grass, there must be a river, and there must be... people."

If Gu Shen was the master of this world.

He would shape this spiritual world... into a pure and immaculate land!

The wisp of Blazing Fire floating in the air was a little tired from fluttering under the falling rain, and slowly landed in Gu Shen's palm.

Obviously, it could not sprinkle out trees, flowers, grass, and people according to Gu Shen's wishes... This was a great ambition, more like an impossible "miracle" that only existed in imagination.

A pure land?

How could there be a pure land in this world?

Even if there were a million times more extraordinary source matter gathered in Gu Shen's hands at this moment, he would not be able to complete such a "construction."

"It seems my wish is a little too grand..."

Gu Shen restrained his mind. This desolate and barren wilderness now had light and rain, which could be regarded as the first step in the creation of chaos. He had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

The comprehension of the Grain Rain Scroll awakened him.

Mr. Gu Changzhi asked him to comprehend "The Breath of Spring"... presumably it was to make him understand that he had to walk a path that belonged to him!

Chu Ling's figure condensed bit by bit... After a few seconds, she reappeared in this "brand new" spiritual world.

She didn't understand why the spiritual link was interrupted until her consciousness was completely condensed and she saw the new face of the "Seasonal Wilderness." Only then did she realize what had happened to the comprehension of the Grain Rain Scroll.

Before her was a desolate and primitive wilderness.

Compared with the "tranquil" wilderness given by Gu Changzhi, it seemed too desolate. At this moment, the spring rain was pouring down and the sky was dim... If one stared at it for a while, one could detect a different kind of fun.

This was an unspeakable and indescribable artistic conception.

It was like... witnessing the birth of a "new world."

"I didn't see it wrong, did I..."

Chu Ling murmured to herself in disbelief.

She knew very well what this meant.

In the past, those geniuses in the Eastern Continent Federation who had the opportunity to contemplate the Grain Rain Scroll only needed to discover and follow the induction left by Mr. Gu Changzhi... and they would be able to complete the comprehension of the Grain Rain Scroll without any surprises.

They would see that familiar wilderness.

They would see the falling rain!

They would see the revived spring!

And Gu Shen... had abandoned the broad road that countless people had set foot on, and chose to walk a "muddy path" that belonged to him, using the Grain Rain Scroll to directly shape a "spiritual world" that belonged to him.

Although it was desolate.

But... this was a real contemplative world.

Was this the behavior of a genius, or the act of a madman?

"Hu..."

Gu Shen exhaled a breath of air with some fatigue. He looked at the devastated wilderness and smiled contentedly.

Although it was difficult to equate this place with the pure land he imagined, it looked like an abandoned and desolate place no matter how one looked at it.

But, at least it belonged to him!

The Blazing Fire also spat out a small tuft of flames very satisfyingly. It swayed its small tail of flames and tugged at Gu Shen... as if it wanted to drag him to a certain place.

Where was it trying to lead me?

Gu Shen was a little surprised that his Blazing Fire seemed to be getting more and more spiritual... He did not resist, but followed the guidance of the Blazing Fire and slowly walked forward a few steps, finally arriving at a pit in the ground.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and silently looked at the end point that the wisp of Blazing Fire finally guided him to.

Lying in the mud was a seed.

A seed covered in dirt.

This was what the original "Seasonal Wilderness" lacked.

With seeds, spring had meaning.

...

"The Grain Rain Scroll... is emitting a brilliant light, this is a scene I have never seen before!"

Inside the dojo, someone exclaimed.

"It is said that when Bai Wudi of the Bai family comprehended the Grain Rain Scroll, there was also such a vision... The ancient scroll had a burst of snow-white brilliance, indicating that it was in harmony with the contemplator's mind. This is a dream-interpreting genius that is one in a million!"

"But, why is it that when Gu Shen comprehended the Grain Rain Scroll... the ancient scroll burst out with black light?"

The boy sitting cross-legged was immersed in the contemplative world of the Grain Rain Scroll.

Gu Shen did not know.

At this moment, the sheepskin scroll in his palm was slowly emitting a dark brilliance... This black brilliance was very eye-catching, as if it had a strange magic power. Just one glance and one could not take their eyes off it.

"Fatty... what does this black light mean?" Gu Nanfeng narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

He practiced the "Penetration Method" of the ancient cultivators of the Northern Continent, and had been away from Changye for too long. When he left, Gu Nanfeng was still too young, so he did not know the breathing technique cultivation system of the Eastern Continent Federation.

"Very strong..."

Luo Yu frowned, "There is no doubt that those who can cause the contemplative ancient scroll to produce visions are all top geniuses."

"But I also can't understand why there is black light?"

Fatty Luo murmured in confusion, "According to the record of that little cub of the Bai family, it took forty-eight minutes to comprehend the Grain Rain Scroll... At that time, the spiritual brilliance that was triggered was a brilliant white. Afterwards, those analysis experts from the Safety Committee repeatedly watched the video and believed that this was the comprehension of the soul core of the Grain Rain Scroll, which symbolized new life and hope."

"Bullshit." Gu Nanfeng concisely poured a basin of cold water, "Doesn't that black mean destruction and despair? Could it be that Gu Shen has comprehended it in reverse?"

"I think so too... That group of dog-fart experts are bragging without drafting." Fatty Luo quickly echoed. He scratched his head awkwardly and muttered, "I guess that group of irresponsible bastards received money from the Bai family and were specially building momentum for Bai Xiu."

"But..."

"Gu Shen previously comprehended the Awakening of Insects. After merging the two scrolls of breathing techniques, his aura doesn't seem to have increased much." Luo Yu glanced at the time and murmured, "It took fifty-one minutes to comprehend in reality, which is almost the same as Bai Xiu... As expected of an S-class."

Lu Nanjin remained silent and watched quietly.

As the only spectator who watched Gu Shen comprehend the two scrolls of the Spring Breathing Technique, when Lu Nanjin saw the so-called "spiritual brilliance" of the Grain Rain Scroll, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

Gu Shen was hiding his strength.

And... he had been hiding his strength from the beginning!

How could this kid, with such terrifying dream-interpreting talent, need to spend four hours comprehending the Awakening of Insects?

However, in Da Teng, he used a very mediocre result to complete the initial dream interpretation of the Awakening of Insects... This was a terrifying thing to think about, because the person who bestowed the dream of the Awakening of Insects to Gu Shen was [Heavenly Eye].

A titled extraordinary being whose spiritual power reached the twelfth level of the deep sea.

Sister Luo's spirit shrouded the entire arena, constantly monitoring Gu Shen's reaction... Under such circumstances, Gu Shen actually successfully concealed his comprehension time?

Then... if he could hide it once, why couldn't he hide it a second time?

Fifty-one minutes... Was that really Gu Shen's true strength?

Lu Nanjin kept silent and just silently watched the black spiritual brilliance that lingered on the stage, dissipating and disappearing.

"The spiritual brilliance has appeared... The Grain Rain Scroll has been comprehended..."

Mr. Shan murmured in a very soft voice, mixed with incomprehension, "But... why is it black?"

He stared at the boy whose aura had been restrained to the extreme. The comprehension process of this Grain Rain Scroll... Gu Shen's performance was very similar to Bai Xiu's, but also completely different.

What was similar was that both of them were geniuses, and they completed the comprehension of the Grain Rain Scroll in less than an hour!

What was different was... Bai Xiu's comprehension had an outward release of aura, and the dazzling white light was dazzling, making it impossible to look directly at it.

And Gu Shen was completely introverted, like a collapsing and collapsing small point, and the spiritual brilliance he emitted was like possessing magic power, hooking people's hearts and making it impossible for them to take their eyes off him.

"Fifty-one minutes..."

The Bai family's witch watched Gu Shen's comprehension with relish, and pulled the sleeve of the person next to her with great interest, and smiled: "It is rumored that the S-class of the Tribunal has not broken Xiao Xiu's record... Will it be another stepping stone for Xiao Xiu?"

Bai Chen looked solemn.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the black spiritual brilliance emanating from the boy's body, and said in a deep voice: "The comprehension time of a mere Grain Rain Scroll... is nothing, moreover, this kid is hiding his strength..."

"Hiding his strength?" Bai Lu was a little surprised.

"He should have only spent thirty minutes, or even less, to comprehend the Grain Rain Scroll!" Bai

Chen transmitted his voice with his mind, "My 'Heart World' can sense his mental state, maybe it's not that accurate... but at least in the first twenty minutes, he didn't comprehend it."

"The first twenty minutes... didn't comprehend it? Why?" The Bai family's witch was very puzzled, and frowned, "Is this guy thinking about life?"

Bai Chen shook his head.

This Bai family's eldest brother, who was about to take over as the Grand Judge, slowly said, "If we were to fight now... Gu Shen would definitely not be able to beat Xiao Xiu, but give him some more time, and it's hard to say."
