Chapter 100 The Reunion

Two days later.

A silvery-white sword light hovered slowly in the clouds.

"This is... Changye?"

Gu Xiaoman sat cross-legged on Gu Shen's Sword of Truth. She was currently hundreds of meters above the ground, overlooking the square ancient city. She could feel its rich historical aura, as well as a sense of ethereal detachment.

"Yes, this is Changye."

Gu Shen glanced at Gu Xiaoman with a smile.

This was Changye, the place she had always longed to see.

"Let's go down quickly. What are we waiting for?"

Gu Xiaoman's eyes shone with excitement, and she spoke somewhat impatiently.

"Don't rush."

Gu Shen said leisurely, "Look around you, and look above..."

Gu Xiaoman raised her head and saw countless black mechanical eyes, hidden in the clouds in a formation.

"This is?"

Xiaoman had seen the Heavenly Eyes deployed by the Deep Sea, but these mechanical eyes were higher and more concealed than the Heavenly Eyes. If Gu Shen hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have even noticed their existence.

"This is Changye's unique 'eye,' called 'Wind Eye.'"

Gu Shen smiled and said, "The Wind Eye captures everything in Changye's field of vision. You can think of it as a Cloud Mirror created by the people of Changye themselves."

Gu Xiaoman was a little nervous. "Then aren't we very dangerous now?"

This was the question Gu Shen had been waiting for.

"Not dangerous. It's not dangerous with your sister-in-law here."

Sister-in-law?!

Gu Xiaoman was completely confused.

Gu Shen stood on the iron sword and calmly sent a mental message to Chu Ling… The countless Wind Eyes stopped moving in unison. In fact, the images captured by the Wind Eyes had already been processed by Chu Ling to some extent. This scene was just for Xiaoman to see.

The two slowly descended and landed on a small mountain outside Changye City, then entered the city through a small path.

This was the first time Gu Xiaoman had seen such an antique old city. Most areas in the Central Continent were filled with skyscrapers and steel jungles. Even classical towns like Linz, which retained some historical features, were far from being as grand as Changye.

Her eyes widened, and her gaze was drawn to a woman holding an umbrella at the city gate.

A gentle breeze swirled around, and a bell jingled.

The woman was wearing a red and white Ruqun dress, standing with an umbrella. Only half of her face was visible, but her fair and jade-like chin, as well as her stunningly beautiful crimson lips, attracted the attention of countless passersby.

She must be a beauty.

"Could that be..."

"Exactly."

Gu Shen had already taken the black umbrella and squeezed under it before Gu Xiaoman could finish speaking.

"???" Gu Xiaoman was struck by lightning and stood rooted to the spot.

"Isn't this a little inappropriate..."

A helpless female voice came from under the umbrella.

Chu Ling glanced back at Gu Xiaoman and said, "This child is not yet an adult."

"What's inappropriate? This is the perfect age to understand the darker side of the world."

Gu Shen joked and turned to ask, "There's still enough space under the umbrella. Do you want to squeeze in?"

"No... No, thank you."

Gu Xiaoman waved her hand quickly. She had already seen Chu Ling's face when the umbrella was moved just now.

She was breathtakingly beautiful, simply stunning.

This older sister was so beautiful that she looked like she had walked out of a painting!

However… why hadn't Gu Shen mentioned this in the Sanctum of Mulberry?

"If you're not coming under the umbrella, put on your cloak. Firstly, to defend against the Wind Eye, and secondly, to defend against the Cloud Mirror." Gu Shen reminded her and led Xiaoman into the city.

She had been looking forward to the scenery of the Snow Forbidden City for so long.

Gu Xiaoman wasn't in the mood to look at it now. She was only thinking about her sister-in-law's beautiful face.

She didn't remember any of the beautiful scenery along the way.

She only remembered that glimpse of unparalleled beauty under the umbrella.

And so, they entered the Qingzhong Mausoleum. Chu Ling took the umbrella and left, entering the inner mausoleum first, before Gu Xiaoman had the chance to be alone with Gu Shen.

She jabbed Gu Shen hard in the waist with her elbow.

"This is you, you..."

The little one stammered for a long time, unable to come up with a word.

"Wife."

Gu Shen finished her sentence for her, rounding out the word. He asked with a smile, "What, not a good match?"

"..."

Gu Xiaoman scratched her head. Although Gu Shen held a top-tier position of importance in her heart, she couldn't go against her conscience at this moment and honestly replied, "Indeed not a good match, but it's you who doesn't deserve her. You really struck gold to find such a good girl."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shen's expression became a little complicated.

He chuckled softly and said, "You're not wrong to say that."

During the five years he disappeared in the Ice Sea.

Each time Chu Ling recovered, she would send a thread of the golden thread of fate to the Ice Sea.

Day after day, year after year.

Whenever Gu Shen thought of this kind of bitter waiting, this kind of persistence… he felt a surge of bitterness.

"My luck has always been good." Gu Shen smiled and said, "Remember your sister-in-law's name, Chu Ling."

"Chu Ling..."

Gu Xiaoman took it seriously and memorized the name.

"Never heard of her?" Gu Shen raised an eyebrow and asked.

Gu Xiaoman shook her head.

Gu Shen was annoyed at her lack of ambition. "If you had just inquired more about the affairs of the Eastern Continent in recent years, you wouldn't be in the dark about Chu Ling's name."

Chu Ling's name was known to many in the Eastern Continent. She was the new tombkeeper of Changye, and also the only remaining successor of Master Chino's divination techniques.

Chu Ling and Gu Shen had always been regarded as a "golden couple."

Chu Ling's appearance was always associated with Gu Shen, in pairs, never alone.

Outsiders were unaware of the restrictions imposed by the Shrine Mountain, they only thought that this new divination master of the mausoleum liked peace and quiet, and didn't like to move around.

So after Gu Shen died...

Chu Ling never appeared in front of the world again.

News about her became less and less frequent, and there were even rumors that after Gu Shen's death, she had no intention of guarding the mausoleum and had already "martyred herself."

The noisy and chaotic words of this mortal world would gradually disappear.

Time would dilute everything.

Chu Ling hadn't shown her face for five years, and the world had slowly forgotten her, just like they had forgotten Gu Shen back then.

……

……

Not long after, the fog in the mausoleum dissipated.

Gu Shen led Gu Xiaoman slowly toward the depths of Qingzhong, Chu Ling controlled the formation, allowing the two to avoid the other transcendents who were worshiping and sacrificing in the mausoleum all the way, and finally entered the inner mausoleum.

Almost six years had passed.

The Qingzhong Mausoleum at this moment was no longer shrouded in golden Xia light as it had been in the past.

It had returned to tranquility, and no longer had floating visions.

This was not because Bai Shu's God Seat realm had regressed.

On the contrary… This was precisely the manifestation of the perfect fusion of the Douzhan God Domain and the God Seat!

A truly great God Domain does not need to show visions at all times.

The mausoleum at this moment was extremely quiet, because everything here had been refined and controlled by Mr. Bai Shu.

Gu Xiaoman tugged at the corner of Gu Shen's clothes, feeling a little nervous. She could feel the powerful aura permeating the air...

The closer she got to the inner mausoleum, the more fierce the fighting spirit of the Douzhan God Seat became.

As the future master designated by the "Fire Seed of Wine."

She was extremely sensitive to the aura of the "Fire Seed of Battle"——

The previous Wine God Seat, Di Jiu, had fallen in this mausoleum.

In that battle of the gods, Gu Changzhi completely crushed Di Jiu.

The golden God Domain of Douzhan had also left a certain shadow on the "Fire Seed of Wine."

"I'm a little scared."

Gu Xiaoman muttered softly. Before reaching the golden fog of the inner mausoleum, the part of her that was connected to the Fire Seed had developed a strong resistance, and she was unwilling to take another step forward no matter what.

Gu Shen smiled helplessly upon seeing this.

The Fire Seed of Wine was afraid?

That was also true… The previous owner had been beaten to death by Gu Changzhi, and this Fire Seed was also a divine object that had developed a certain consciousness. How could it not be afraid to see such a scene?

"Don't worry, Mr. Bai Shu is not a bad person, he won't hurt you."

He comforted her softly, "If possible, transmit a wisp of spirit and tell the Fire Seed of Wine not to worry. This time entering the mausoleum is not to fight, but to be a guest."

"Hoo..."

Gu Xiaoman repeatedly took deep breaths.

"Gu Shen, we finally meet again. How was the taste of the Ice Sea?"

At this moment, a childish laughter came from within the inner mausoleum.

Hundreds of wisps of golden divine radiance quickly swept out from the void and condensed into shape not far from the two.

The Regression God Domain had been perfectly fused with the Douzhan Fire Seed.

Under the blessing of the three realms.

Mr. Bai Shu's "God Seat body" would fluctuate from time to time… This was his cultivation in the God Domain.

Appearing in front of Gu Shen at this moment was a child's body that looked only ten years old or so.

The child Bai Shu appeared with a smile.

Although he was extremely young, the power hidden in this divine body was extremely strong. With every move, the vast source quality flowing潺潺 in the void trembled along with it.

"This is… the Douzhan God Seat of the Eastern Continent?"

Gu Xiaoman couldn't believe it. Looking at the child in front of her, the inexplicable fear in her heart dissipated more than half.

"Eh."

Bai Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him.

"Mr. Bai Shu… this is Gu Xiaoman."

Gu Shen bowed slightly and said softly, "The girl I rescued in the Sanctum of Mulberry back then."

"I know, this is the next Lord of Wine."

"The cloaks you two are wearing are quite remarkable."

Bai Shu sighed with a smile, "Stepping into the Qingzhong Mausoleum and facing me directly, I didn't even notice the aura of the Fire Seed… No wonder you dared to bring the Lord of Wine into Changye. With this level of treasure, you really don't have to worry about being detected by the Cloud Mirror. This cloak, is this the harvest of the Ice Sea mission this time?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "The matter of the Ice Sea is complicated to say, allow me to slowly explain later… However, what we have gained is not just two cloaks."

He unfolded his domain.

"Swish——"

With Bai Shu's permission, the Pure Land was able to open, and the leaves of the rustling trees swayed in the sky.

In order to show the "sense of shock."

Gu Shen directly unpacked the nano-compressed black silver box, letting piles of refined black silver fall to the ground.

"???"

Bai Shu, who had a calm expression and a light smile, immediately froze.

Seeing Gu Shen release the black silver, Gu Xiaoman also unfolded Annihilation Dream.

The little one raised her hand and waved, tearing a hole in the void of the mausoleum, like a zipper being pulled open. At this moment, Gu Xiaoman also began to unload the goods.

Clang clang clang!

For a time, the inner mausoleum's small hill resounded like thunder.

Dozens of seconds later, Bai Shu looked at the black silver piled up like a mountain, and his whole body felt bad.

This was the first time in Bai Shu's life that he doubted his eyes…

This was black silver?

The black silver that the entire Five Continents combined couldn't produce many pounds of?

"If you want to ask what we brought back from the Ice Sea, it's probably these…"

Gu Shen said sincerely, "A total of two thousand seven hundred pounds of black silver."
