Barrier of Light

Outside Nagano Castle.

[Wind Pupils] hang high, and thousands of [Wind Pupils] are arranged on the clouds, swaying in the wind, and the array spreads... These are Nagano's eyes. During the twenty years that Gu Changzhi slept, each of these eyes Watch over this world for God.

Nagano Region is the most stable region among the nine regions.

Criminals who violate federal laws will definitely stay away from this area, as far away as possible... because [Wind Eye] is too keen on capturing the aura of extraordinary beings.

In addition, here are the Grand Judge, the Grand Commander, and the heads of the five families... Except for a certain Grand Judge who wanders around Dongzhou and is responsible for catching heavyweight fugitives, and only comes back occasionally, the Dongzhou Council is the most powerful. The most concentrated combat power is gathered here.

Except for the god who holds the power of fire, there is indeed no one else who has the courage and ability to violate Nagano.

The "Owl" who once stirred up troubles in Dadu, if the Nagano Foundation is moved to Nagano... then it will be uprooted in less than half a year. This does not mean that Nagano's strength crushes Dadu.

Instead, the most mature protection system and the most powerful supervisory force in the entire East Continent are placed here.

"Master Bai!"

Feng Tong monitors the room.

A prison official looked solemn as he called up the image of [Wind Eyes] outside the Snow Forbidden City...

Above the dome of clouds, there is wind and frost passing by.

The few wind pupils in the northernmost part of Nagano were covered with frost and snow at the same time.

The surface of [Wind Eye] is coated with strong logic material, and it cannot be damaged by bad weather. This phenomenon is obviously due to the influence of extraordinary abilities.

Bai Chen, who was wearing a white judge's robe, looked calm and stared at the screen silently.

This inspection room has the highest theoretical [Deep Sea] authority of the Dongzhou Council. After all, [Wind Pupil] protects the tranquility of the entire region. If something strange is encountered, it will provide detailed picture capture as soon as possible.

It's just that...the screen capture seems to have failed this time.

[Fengtong] didn't see anything.

The covering wind and snow melted on their own after condensing for a while.

It was as if... nothing had happened.

"Huh……"

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

[Wind Eye] There is no alarm.

It means that everything just happened was just a false alarm.

Bai Chen withdrew his gaze, pressed down his big-brimmed hat, and said softly: "I'm going out."

He left the inspection room, got on his motorcycle, started it, and galloped towards the northern part of Nagano where the wind pupils were. Invisible spiritual fluctuations spread out from behind... The next moment, a huge phantom of the gods appeared in Baichen. Behind the rustling robe.

It was a black-robed god of death holding a scythe.

【Judge】.

"The Judge...finds 'it'."

The god of death held the sickle high, with a faint light emitting from under his black robe. At this moment, his withered hands held the sickle flat, and a ray of light passed over the bright sword, and finally it looked in one direction.

"boom!"

This specially made motorcycle, blessed by Bai Chen's extraordinary source of energy at this moment, accelerated instantly, almost breaking the sound barrier, and turned into a shadow in just a few seconds, like a falling meteorite, with an extremely wild roar. And out.

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 at a towering stone wall in the north of Nagano. He turned the accelerator without any intention of slowing down, and his robe was flying in the dust.

Under the big-brimmed hat is a pair of calm and indifferent eyes.

There is a snow cloud in the distance.

Yes.

It was a...snow cloud.

It just "slowly" passed through the sky, and after being contaminated by the wind pupils, it froze these Nagano Eyes one by one, and then restored them again after being separated.

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

In ten minutes at most, we can reach the sky above the Snow Forbidden City.

In the snow cloud, a vague figure can be vaguely seen... That figure is the true nature of the "snow cloud".

"Buzz buzz!!!"

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

The judge swings his scythe!

Mud splashes.

This knife had no killing intent, but it stirred up hundreds of meters of dust. On the barren land in northern Nagano, there were pillars of mud and dust rising up like a sky curtain!

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

Lord Bai Chen was so fast... He had already arrived at the northern border, but what confused them even more was that there was still no strange scene in [Wind Eye]. They could only see Bai Chen wielding his sword as a judge, shaking the dust. Picture!

The motorcycle, which looked like it was filled with the blood of a living person, made a huge turn on the ground. Bai Chen didn't press the brake at all. He just used one foot as the brake and stopped the motorcycle abruptly, causing it to roll violently. The mud and dust rushed towards the snow cloud.

"boom--"

Snow clouds encounter mud and dust.

I also encountered the mental fluctuations transmitted by Bai Chen!

A cold warning voice sounded across the land!

"Nagano ahead...the apostles are forbidden to travel."

Extraordinaries who can deceive [Wind Eyes] must be extremely strong, strong enough to cover the sky with their mental power. Extraordinaries of this level are generally authorized by the federation to be titled.

But when they enter Nagano, they will never see such a "weird" scene.

Because shielding the sky with mental power, in a sense, it can be regarded as telling [Wind Eye] that I am coming.

At this moment, [Fengtong] seemed to have seen a ghost.

And there is only one possibility that can cause this phenomenon...

The other party's authority in the [Deep Sea] is higher than that of the prison!

The visitor has the "freedom" granted by the highest seat, and the only one who possesses this "freedom" is the [Apostle] except the [God's Seat]!

The figure in the snow cloud heard this spiritual fluctuation.

Mud and dust billowed down.

The originally dirty muddy dust turned into a clean snow and rain after falling... Bai Chen raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at the falling snow-white crystals.

Every grain of snow dust is a pure and untainted crystal.

In just a few seconds, the splashing mud was purified by the power in the snow cloud.

"Feel sorry……"

A very soft voice came from the snow cloud.

The large tracts of snow and fog gradually converged and fell. The officials in the inspection room who were hundreds of miles away were still unable to capture the image of the visitor through the [Wind Eyes]... But Bai Chen, who was standing not far away, I saw clearly the true appearance of the figure in the snowy clouds.

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

The figure was slim and slender, with long hair hanging loose, like a girl from the snow country.

After all the snow and fog cleared, she revealed her true appearance.

Under the woolen felt hat, there was a pale face like a sculpture of ice and snow. Even the pupils of this young woman... were white.

It's just that the white color is different from the color of the whites of the eyes.

The depths of her pupils were silvery white.

"I originally thought that since we haven't reached the border of Nagano yet, using the 'territory' to rush on is not considered against the rules."

The woman in the felt hat who looked like an ice sculpture was surprisingly polite in her words and deeds.

She slowly moved her gaze, and her silver-white pupils looked behind Bai Chen.

The [Judge] floating in the air, holding a scythe... suddenly felt the pressure.

"Kachacha..."

After just a few seconds of staring, the judge's black robe was covered with a thin layer of frost.

What kind of stare is this?

Even his mental power can be frozen... Bai Chen's expression was a bit ugly.

This guy's strength... shouldn't be underestimated. Judging from his attire, does he come from the north?

"My name is Azhaer."

The woman took off her felt hat, bowed slightly, and said softly: "By order of Her Majesty the Queen, I came to Nagano to visit... I came to find someone."

The apostle of the Queen of Beizhou!

The relationship between Dongzhou and Beizhou is not bad...

After the other party explained his purpose, Bai Chen's expression softened.

In fact, he is not panicked in his heart, because today's Dongzhou is different from before... His ancestors of the Bai family are sitting in the Nagano Clear Tomb. If the apostles of the Outer Continent God's Throne really dare to cross the boundaries, then they will have their own God's Throne. Come forward!

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

"That man... his surname is Gu."

Azhaer smiled and said, "Gu Shen."

…

…

Gu Shen is currently practicing at Spring Rain Temple.

A wisp of fire stirred between the eyebrows.

The golden hoop vibrates.

In the void, tinkling sounds continued to erupt, hair flew, and blazing fire shot out.

However... that golden hoop didn't move at all.

No matter how he operated "Jingzhe" and "Grain Rain", he could not break through this golden hoop.

However, after meditating many times, Gu Shen found nothing.

While running the "Breath of Spring", he was immersed in the pure land world...as if he were sitting cross-legged under a hanging tree.

Today's Pure Land, after Gu Changzhi and Qianye's journey, seems to have infinite vitality and vitality.

A spring rain.

Rebirth.

One after another golden spike flowers bloomed in the distance. Although they were not fully grown, they were swaying in the wind and were already quite large. When they mature one day, they will surely be a sea of ​​gold.

Gu Shen vaguely understood the next step while meditating in the Pure Land world.

Breathwork.

Many extraordinary people believe that this is just a method to help stabilize "mental power".

But that’s not the case…

This is a way!

A great avenue!

In an era without [Deep Sea], extraordinary people who want to practice cultivation need to rely on various visualization thoughts to stabilize their spirits... So the breathing method was created. In fact, there are different breathing methods in every era. Adapt to different extraordinary beings.

The path to extraordinary cultivation does not mean the older it is, the more powerful it is.

This path is not static.

It's just...those extraordinary beings who are trapped in the rules are destined to be unable to surpass their predecessors.

"Has my Breath of Spring practice come to an end?"

Gu Shen vaguely felt that if he wanted to break through this golden hoop, relying on the power of the Breath of Spring was no longer enough.

His Spring Scroll has been practiced to the point of perfection.

The pure land world and the resurrection of all things are the best proof.

And after spring... comes summer!

"'Mang Zhong', 'Great Heat'..." Gu Shen murmured: "Mr. Changzhi did not mention the so-called Breath of Summer before he left, and there are no other breaths in the records of the Three Institutes. The whereabouts of the law..."

All Dongzhou has is Jingzhe and Guyu split in two.

However, Gu Changzhi's Four Seasons Wilderness is famous all over the world... Everyone knows which breathing methods correspond to the four seasons.

Two volumes combined into one, a total of eight volumes.

But unfortunately, people have only seen the first two volumes.

"The resurgence of all things is the beginning... Once you understand the breath of spring, there are infinite possibilities to evolve the subsequent four seasons?" A ray of inspiration emerged in Gu Shen's mind, and he understood Mr. Gu Changzhi's true intention of creating the four-season wilderness.

This road is different for everyone!

Start with the Spring Scroll.

When it comes to the Scroll of Summer...the extraordinary ones themselves begin to create!

The avenue has endless possibilities.

"I hope that my 'summer'... is energetic enough. All things will grow in this season, and the pure land will be immortal in this season." Gu Shen closed his eyes and spoke softly. He tried to evolve the next breathing method after Breath of Spring. .

His breathing method!

In the Pure Land world, a strong wind suddenly blew.

Tie Wu, who was hoeing the ground in the distance with a basket on his back, was hit by the sudden hot wind. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered through gritted teeth: "Grandma Te, it's too hot. It's almost too hot." Damn it...what's going on with this damn weather?"

"boom!"

next moment!

Above the dome, thunder suddenly rose.

Tiewu was startled by the extremely low thunder!

He raised his head and saw rain clouds gathering rapidly above the sky, but it was completely different from the scene during the continuous spring rain... The entire pure land became depressed. This lead cloud layer was extremely low and kept on There was a dull thunder echo, and blades of grass flew.

Tie Wu raised his head and turned back with a hint.

He saw the huge ancient tree in the distance, with thousands of branches swaying in a posture of worship.

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

The hot wind swept up the sea of ​​leaves and swept it towards Gu Shen under the ancient tree...

"Is this Lord God's seat deducing the world?"

Tie Wu immediately fell silent.

He put down his hoe and observed the vision between heaven and earth solemnly, muttering: "In that case, let it be hot... Anyway, I won't really be killed by the heat..."

The humid and sultry air swept across the world.

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

Exhale.

Breathe in.

But the heavy rain never fell.

Gu Shen's first attempt at deducing "Summer Solstice Breathing" was unsuccessful.

After a few hours, he exited the spirit world.

The branches of the ancient trees slowly fell, calmness returned, and the heat between heaven and earth slowly disappeared, returning to the original "early spring season" of coolness and a bit of chill.

Tie Wu held the hoe, feeling a little regretful.

He was observing the whole process, vaguely guessing Gu Shen's intention, and sighed in a low voice: "It seems that Lord God... wants to use his own power to change the laws of heaven and earth, and give this world new vitality..."

"Lord God is so diligent..."

Tie Wu took a deep breath, gripped the hoe again, and straightened his bamboo hat: "Then I will work harder to farm!"

…

…

After exiting the Pure Land.

Gu Shen felt that his mental strength, which had not increased for a long time, was actually showing signs of loosening.

Obviously, I am heading in the right direction!

And that golden hoop is no longer completely unbreakable...

Under the impact of the blazing fire, there was some vague resistance.

Gu Shen put two fingers together and pressed them between his eyebrows. After he took a deep breath, a weak blazing fire kept hitting the golden hoop, and finally took shape with difficulty. Although it only lasted for an instant, it was twisted down by two fingers in time... …

Gu Shen smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at the wisp of fire that stayed on his fingertips and dispersed.

Sure enough... there is no shortcut to spiritual practice.

If you want to break through this golden hoop, you have to work hard.

This is actually good news.

What Gu Shen lacks most is the determination and perseverance to work hard.

"Boom..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Due to his restrained mental strength, Gu Shen did not notice it in advance.

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

But never expected.

The visitor was a woman he had never met before, with snowy hair reaching her waist, wearing a long cloak and a felt hat.

The most important thing is... Chu Ling didn't give himself any warning.

"This woman is an [Apostle]... Due to the authority of the highest seat, Nagano's [Wind Eye] cannot capture her traces."

Through the spiritual link, Chu Ling shared Gu Shen's vision for a few seconds. It was not until Gu Shen opened the door that she saw this ghost-like existence with her own eyes.

"……Um."

Gu Shen frowned slightly.

Chu Ling didn't need to speak, he already guessed the answer from the first moment he saw the other person.

"Kachacha..."

Gu Shen noticed that frost had condensed where she knocked.

That’s actual ice and snow!

This woman seemed to have a strange "freezing power" on her body.

Just by looking at each other, Gu Shen suddenly felt a biting chill...

He reached up and touched his cheek.

I actually touched a thin piece of ice...

A "chi" sound.

A ray of fire ignited between Gu Shen's eyebrows... It was not a blazing fire, but the fire of fighting contained in the golden hoop. This ray of fire was not strong, but it was intimidating. It was only a wisp, and it burned easily. It reaches "boiling" and eventually becomes a golden mist.

And in the mist, a golden and blurry face slowly emerged.

Bai Shu calmly looked down at the visitors.

The apostle bent one knee slightly, saluted, and said respectfully: "Azha'er has seen Lord Dou Zhan..."

She hasn't finished yet.

"If you can't control your powers, you can close those eyes."

Bai Shu's voice came out, interrupting him.

Azhaer was startled.

Her ability is called [Frost Kill], which is an extremely terrifying natural power. [Frost Kill] can explode with extremely powerful killing power, and the corresponding control difficulty is also very high... In fact, she can do it in Beizhou. [Frost Kill] was stably suppressed, but now the task is far away from Beizhou and His Majesty, so there are some abnormalities in the original ability to stably suppress it.

Frost spreads as far as the eye can see.

Azur was a little uneasy on the way, because [Frost Kill] had something strange... It was really bad news, and it could easily make the extraordinary people in Nagano think that she came with malicious intentions.

Fortunately, after some exchanges, Bai Chen who blocked the road did not turn her away, but took her to Nagano Castle.

It's just that... what I was worried about now actually happened.

Is the new Battle God Seat angry?

Azhaer sighed softly in his heart and closed his eyes obediently.

"You can open it now."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Azhaer closed his eyes, Bai Shu's voice sounded softly.

Azhaer opened his eyes again in confusion after hearing this.

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

The properties of objects touched by [Frost Kill] have changed.

Unless we go back in time, how is it possible to... fully recover?

Wait a minute...

Azhaer raised her palm, and an ice mirror formed in her palm. She looked at herself in the ice mirror.

Those pale pupils returned to black.

"The queen of Beizhou and I...were also old acquaintances."

Bai Shu said softly: "Azha'er, from now on the Snow Forbidden City will open its gates to you. In my divine domain, you don't have to worry about the power of [Frost Kill] leaking out and causing losses."

Azhaer's expression was complicated.

Of course she has seen miracles...but the miracles of the Douzhan Seat are indeed incredible.

Gu Shen, who was watching quietly from the side, could see it clearly.

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

Several layers of [Backflow] have been superimposed, making this ancient city extremely safe. Even if a devastating blow comes... As long as Bai Shu is still alive, he can recast it and restore it with just one breath.

Of course... Bai Shu's [Reverse Flow] cannot violate the iron law of life and death.

He can only restore dead things.

At that moment, the power of the divine realm was activated, not only "returning" the ice chips on the door, but also probably "reversing" all the frosty objects that Azhaer had walked along the way.

In addition, a ray of fighting spirit pressed on Azhaer's forehead.

She couldn't see.

But Gu Shen could see... it was an invisible ray of fighting fire, which should be the same as the "golden hoop" on his eyebrows.

It's just that the intensity has been increased.

In the Snow Forbidden City, Azhaer's [Frost Kill] was suppressed to a very safe level.

No wonder.

In the past twenty years, several other continents have had such strong confidence.

It turns out that having a god in his "peak years" feels so safe... In the Snow Forbidden City shrouded in the divine domain, Bai Shu is an invincible existence. His single thought can reach any corner of the Snow Forbidden City.

Here, he is "God" in the true sense.

It's no wonder that Bai Shu reassured himself that he could go to Hades' mansion to pick up things... He was afraid that without Shen Li, no one would notice him just walking in like this.

"...Thank you, Lord God."

Azhar took a deep breath.

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

She didn't know the existence of the "Golden Hoop". She only said that with the power of a divine throne, it would not be surprising to show up anywhere in the divine domain... The appearance above Gu Shen's head at this moment was also a side proof. Understand the importance of Gu Shen.

It's just that this scene is quite ironic.

Because Azhaer knelt down and thanked Jin Wu very lightly.

It looked like he was thanking Gu Shen.

Gu Shen subconsciously said, "I love you, please stand up"...

"Ah."

Baizhu, who can listen to the sounds of all living things, smiled lightly.

He raised his eyebrows and leaned over to glance at Gu Shen, and then he calmly thanked Azhaer and left without much response.

Gu Shen's expression remained normal, but he silently rolled up his sleeves and raised his middle finger with disdain.

What does this "heh" mean?

Damn old man, he must have eavesdropped on his own thoughts!
