Chapter 994: Chapter 994

The Lin Family of North Continent, agreed to break the engagement?

This news is no less than a shocking Thunder Shock...

Jia Wei became absent-minded upon hearing it.

He knew that the moment these words were spoken, some matters became irreversible and could not be forced.

The will of two Divine Thrones once drove Light City and Central City to become allies, but now under the new tides of fate’s torrent, they are drifting apart.

As a Believer who carries out the will of light, the only thing he can do is accept.

Jia Wei remained silent for a long time.

He kept his last bit of dignity, slowly bowing to Zhu Xue and the others, then left.

The news of the Holy Judge leaving Central City spread on the same day.

The deep water area forum of North Continent erupted in cheers.

Xuankong Mountain’s courtyard.

The captains at the gathering saw the news and exchanged knowing smiles.

This is truly good news.

Although "Meng Xiao’s death" has nothing to do with them, if Jia Wei continues his investigation according to that list... then all Transcendents involved in the mission restart are likely to be visited by the Holy Judge.

No one wants to meet those Hemp Robed Believers.

After the gathering ended, Xuankong Mountain’s courtyard finally returned to calm and peace.

Gu Shen felt much more at ease.

The departure of the Holy Judge meant they had tacitly accepted North Continent’s explanation of "Meng Xiao’s case." The source of thɪs content is ɴovelfire.net

The investigation of the "Blessed Son’s" file had thus concluded.

The night wind mazes through, brushing against his cheeks, as Gu Shen pushed open the door to Xuankong Mountain’s courtyard. He could finally remove the Ancient Talisman from the place and freely breathe in the "free air" of North Continent... These days in seclusion, he kept pondering how to respond to the divination scene reminded by the Calamity Bracelet, his spirit intensely tensed, till this moment he could finally relax.

"Thankfully... there’s the Jade Ring."

Recollecting the moment Jia Wei activated the Bright Armor, Gu Shen still felt a lingering fear.

The Holy Judge came too fast.

Luckily, he reacted even faster, using the Jade Ring to suppress the aberrations of the "Calamity Bracelet" at the crucial moment...

He might really have been caught by Jia Wei.

The wind blows through the woods, leaves fluttering, [the Source Code] couldn’t form in the real world, yet Chu Ling’s voice lingered in Gu Shen’s ears like the wind, echoing.

"The Holy Judge has already left North Continent."

She softly said, "If at that time, Jia Wei found the ’bracelet,’ I would have tried to sabotage his ’Spiritual Link,’ cutting off his report to Light City, with your current strength... there should be a chance to escape, this probability is not low."

Hearing this, Gu Shen felt somewhat dazed.

He couldn’t help but chuckle, reflecting, "I suddenly thought of the time in Da Du..."

Back then, he had just awakened not long ago, power was weak.

Facing battles against High-level Transcendents, Chu Ling’s suggestion was just one word.

If you run too slowly, you’ll never get away.

But now, after three breakthroughs, although his Extraordinary Power is still only at the seventh level, he already qualifies to challenge Fourth-order Transcendents...

Only, it’s still not enough!

Facing Jia Wei, the "Fourth Rank Strongest," Gu Shen still felt profoundly powerless!

Once engaged, all he could do was run!

When confronting Jia Wei, Lu Zhe, such Fourth-order Transcender, Gu Shen only had the qualification to run.

In fact, even when facing normal Fourth Order Peak like Fisher, Zhong Yuan, he has no chance of winning.

"Whew... cultivation... still requires diligent cultivation."

With the Truth Ruler sealed, it ensures one must be more grounded.

The confrontation between Transcendents, realm and strength crushes everything... seal items are merely external objects, possessing S-rank taboo items like "Bright Armor" can indeed substantially enhance strength, but the more top-tier the seal item, the more likely it’s in the hands of powerful figures!

"I need to quickly elevate my realm, reach the ’eighth level,’ by then... the strength corresponding to three transcensions, though it won’t be as large an increase as this time, at least will be an improvement..."

Gu Shen rapidly regained his composure.

The Transcendent, as an inherently surpassing present realm "genius" existence, their cross-rank power isn’t perpetually fixed... take Mu Wanqiu for example, who accomplished two transcensions at the seventh level, invincible throughout the entire third phase.

But it doesn’t mean, upon advancing to the eighth level, she can directly challenge the "Fourth Rank."

Theoretically speaking, even if Mu Wanqiu ascends to the "eighth level," she still bears a qualitative difference with the "Fourth Rank," and this is the "chasm" of two transcensions and three transcensions.

Even if Mu Wanqiu breaks through again, she would only be crushed by the current Gu Shen.

For her to rival the "Fourth Rank," to perform a "cross one big realm" Divine Miracle, she may have to wait till reaching the ninth level strength, leveraging the formidable advantage of two transcensions; her Spirit Sea at the ninth level can be comparable to the tenth level Transcendents, not much inferior.

The gap between two and three seems to span one "one."

But this "one," is an ocean that cannot be outstripped!

And now Gu Shen has also wholly reached the "limits" of the third-order transcension.

He knows clearly, no matter how much effort he puts in, he can’t make breakthroughs in the "Transcension" aspect; even if Bai Shu Divine Throne gives another "Golden Hoop," it won’t make a difference.

His Spirit Sea has already achieved extreme expansion, reaching a strength not belonging to this level.

In the following days, Gu Shen buried himself in diligent cultivation at the courtyard.

During this period, Fisher frequently visited. The Deep Lake and Xuankong Mountain are very close, and after several encounters, Living Fish noticed that Gu Shen’s Spirit Sea intensity was different from ordinary people, though he didn’t guess towards "three transcensions," since the thought was too frightening.
