Chapter 1 The Door of Holy Light Has Been Set Up

"Lord Long, the Guang Ming Bi Lei has been set up."

On the snowfield, there was a team of transcendents draped in pure white linen robes.

The most outstanding among them was a dignified middle-aged man with a shaved head and ancient golden eye patterns engraved on his forehead.

His body was surrounded by glittering light particles. As the wind and snow swept past, his robe fluttered, making him look holy and dignified.

Long Qi.

The seventh-ranked Holy Judgment Elder of the Shrine.

This time, he would lead the Guang Ming Cheng's ice sea mission, leading the Holy Judges in the first round of exploration.

The so-called Guang Ming Bi Lei was a different kind of application of spatial abilities.

Back then, in the Tundra Prison, there was a heavyweight prisoner with the ability of Jian Qie. His name was Yuan Zhong, and his ability was to constantly cut space, using this characteristic to quickly advance himself.

The Guang Ming Bi Lei combined the large-scale distortion of space created by Jian Qie.

The Eastern Continent had the Four Seasons Breathing Method, and the Western Continent had the Holy Light Breathing Method.

As long as a transcendent's ability had the potential to develop "light elements," they could comprehend the Holy Light Breathing Method of Guang Ming Cheng. After mastering the Breathing Method, they could pay the price to arrange the Guang Ming Bi Lei. Rapid spatial tearing could occur between two Guang Ming Bi Lei. Stepping through the gate and consuming source matter would allow them to traverse at an extremely fast speed.

This was the great application of light-based abilities created by the Guang Ming Throne.

Of course, everything was fair. The "ticket" to enter and exit the Guang Ming Bi Lei was "source matter" and "light."

The more it was used, the greater the load, and the greater the price that had to be paid.

At this moment, Long Qi only left one "door," which could be considered a marker.

"This place is vast and boundless. At a glance, it stretches out infinitely. We must be fully alert..."

Long Qi slowly stood up, his white robe flying with the snow.

"We must not allow the previous accident to happen again."

Just as they were about to reach the Ice Sea Ruins, the Holy Judgment Legion encountered a severe ambush. All the original steps for landing at the Ice Sea Ruins were in the plan.

Now, they were forced to urgently enter the sea fog area and inexplicably arrived at this snowfield.

From top to bottom, everyone was in disarray.

Long Qi extended two fingers and wiped them across the vertical紋 on his forehead. He looked around. The Chi Zhi Tong also followed his gaze, illuminating the snowfield in all directions... This was their greatest reliance on this trip. The authority bestowed by the Guang Ming Throne could illuminate all evil, all misfortune, and all disasters. Even when lost in darkness, they could find the correct direction.

"I see several rays of light in different directions, large and small, each one very conspicuous."

Long Qi lowered his voice and said coldly, "Source Tower, Nagano, Central City, Storm Church... The Eastern Continent thieves who ambushed us are not far away."

A believer respectfully reminded him, "Lord Long, the Great Elder previously instructed us to avoid confrontation as much as possible on this trip and leave as soon as we get the things."

"Mm."

Long Qi didn't say much, but said calmly, "The debt for the Ice Sea ambush will be settled slowly after we get out."

Finally, his gaze landed at the end of the snow-capped mountains.

"There, I also see a ray of light."

Long Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "A ray of purple light. Although the aura is very weak, it seems to possess some kind of indescribable transcendent quality. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that secretly cultivated little girl from Source Tower."

"Gu Xiaoman?"

Someone spoke in surprise.

Gu Xiaoman had become a fairly well-known young genius in recent years.

Although she was young, she was directly absorbed by Source Tower. With Hong Long Zhu Yu as an example, many people naturally began to pay attention to this "successor of the Red Dragon."

The Guang Ming Cheng Shrine had been compiling detailed data on young geniuses from all continents.

"Gu Xiaoman is not as simple as you think." Long Qi chuckled, "The Shrine has always suspected that this is the 'Lord of Wine' that Source Tower wants to cultivate... This little girl was brought out from Sang Continent Cave. Hong Long didn't even care about the transcendents in the sealed area back then and had to take this little girl away. If she was just an S-rank, it would be a bit of an overstatement, right?"

The subordinates beside him still looked somewhat blank.

"But, the spot for the Seed of Wine hasn't been decided yet, has it?"

Everyone in the five continents knew that.

In recent years, the Source Tower envoys had been working desperately, performing tasks, all for the sake of inheriting the Seed.

"Fishing always requires bait."

Long Qi mocked, "If those few envoys were qualified to inherit the Seed, they would have been allowed to try to fuse with it long ago. Why wait until now? They are just sacrifices, stupid and unaware, so they rush forward one after another, tirelessly."

The Holy Judges surrounding Long Qi suddenly understood.

"Gu Xiaoman is acting alone. She should be hunted down by Source Tower. Yun Hu Xuan Gui is not a kind person. I'm afraid they have also discovered the clue and want to take this opportunity to eliminate her."

Long Qi asked with a smile, "This little fellow's direction of travel is the same as ours. Why don't we help those two Source Tower envoys?"

One of the leaders was puzzled, "Lord, aren't we in an alliance with Central Continent?"

"..."

Long Qi looked at the leader with a non-smiling expression. The latter looked puzzled and was patted hard on the shoulder by a colleague before he understood something.

"In this world, there are no eternal allies, only eternal interests."

Long Qi murmured, "If Central Continent really gives birth to a new 'Lord of Wine,' does Source Tower... still need allies?"

"Well said."

From the depths of the wind and snow, a light laugh came, accompanied by applause.

"...?"

Long Qi suddenly turned his head as if he had seen a ghost. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gaunt figure obscured by heavy snow a hundred meters away, making it impossible to see his true face.

Someone was approaching, but he hadn't noticed any warning signs!

"Who?"

The leaders beside Long Qi instantly entered a state of combat readiness.

The scattered Holy Judges also suddenly contracted, and every Holy Judge's linen robe burned with a radiance whiter than snow!

"There are no eternal allies, only eternal interests."

The figure did not answer Long Qi's question, but simply repeated the previous sentence.

Then he slowly walked out of the wind and snow.

The Holy Judges looked nervously at the gaunt figure emerging from the wind and snow. The newcomer had disheveled hair and ragged clothes, and a desolate and ominous aura emanated from his body.

Even more frightening was that.

The guy wore a hideous, ghost-like mask on his face. As the wind blew his black hair, the evil spirit seemed to smile yet also seem to cry.

"So this is the way Guang Ming Cheng operates... Even if they are allies, as long as there is profit to be found, they can also take the opportunity to sneak attack."

Gu Shen smiled slightly. "You guys truly live up to your reputation."

He had been traveling south from the cloud boat crash site.

His luck seemed to be very bad.

Along the way, the release range of Fiery Fire expanded to the extreme, but he had not encountered anyone. But now, he had finally caught up with a team.

When he left the cloud boat, he put on the Gui Mian Sha.

The news that he was "alive" was still inconvenient to spread at the moment. Even if he encountered his own people from the Eastern Continent, it was best to hide his identity.

Of course, it was not necessary to be so troublesome when encountering transcendents from other continents.

Anyone who saw his "true face" would be killed.

"What kind of monster? Acting so furtively!"

A Holy Judge leader frowned at the disheveled ghost and couldn't help but shout angrily, "Take off the mask, bow your head, and you might be spared!"

Gu Shen couldn't help but laugh.

He just quietly looked at these Holy Judges.

Countless rays of light emanated from these people, their aura was strong, like the sun.

Judging from the degree of cohesion, these people were indeed stronger than the Source Tower Enforcers... These were all people who could die for the Guang Ming Church. The power they erupted in a desperate battle was several times that of Source Tower.

For a time, the radiance of the sun shone on the snowfield.

Coupled with the Holy Judge leader's blustering roar.

His disheveled hair and ghost mask really made him look like an unwelcome ghost.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at the leader, "What if I don't bow?"

"..."

Some cold sweat oozed from Long Qi's forehead.

After Gu Shen put on the ghost mask, he deliberately concealed all his aura, intending not to exert any pressure when he met this Guang Ming Church team.

But Long Qi still sensed something was wrong, and a hint of retreat faintly sprouted in his heart.

Gu Shen extended a hand and pointed at Long Qi's forehead, and earnestly asked, "Is this the legendary Guang Ming authority, Chi Zhi Tong?"

"Impudence!"

The Holy Judge leader could no longer bear it and roared, "Spouting nonsense in front of the light!"

He clenched his spear and stepped forward, instantly piercing through the void.

"Boom!"

Gu Shen smiled.

Fourth Order.

Very good strength.

He stood there, unmoving.

This spear went straight for Gu Shen's face, but the phantom flashed past, and the Holy Judge leader's eyes blurred. He clearly saw his spear hit the opponent, but in the end it grazed past, not even hitting a single hair!

Gu Shen did not move a step from beginning to end.

He just extended a palm with a very small movement, as if he had been waiting for the opponent to crash into his arms.

With a muffled "bang" sound.

The Holy Judge leader who thrust out his spear crashed into Gu Shen's palm himself. He coughed out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief.

In the next moment, Gu Shen exerted force in his palm.

He flew backwards heavily and fell into the crowd.

The light of Guang Ming shattered, and his life force quickly flowed away.

A Fourth Order...

Actually died just like that!

Gu Shen shrugged and said, "Sorry, you all saw it... He attacked first."

The scene fell into silence for a moment.

"You... who exactly are you?"

Apart from Long Qi, no one on the scene saw Gu Shen's movements just now.

Putting aside abilities, domains, and sealed objects, all these external enhancements... Just in terms of combat awareness, the person in front of them was also a powerful existence who absolutely crushed the Fourth Order.

The seventh elder of the Shrine felt a stronger desire to retreat.

He asked himself, he could also do that palm strike just now, but he couldn't do it as easily as Gu Shen.

"Don't you have Chi Zhi Tong?"

Gu Shen encouraged him with a smile, "Look, take a look and you'll know."

The radiance emitted by the Holy Judges would not be shaken by the power of evil.

The Holy Judge leader fell.

On the contrary, it ignited the anger of the dedicated believers. Long Qi felt the vast and surging faith behind him. He took a deep breath and lit up the vertical eye on his forehead with a gloomy expression—

"Shua!"

Light shone everywhere!

In Long Qi's vision, everything in the world had different colors because of their transcendent qualities.

The depth and density of the colors became meaningful.

But at this moment... The ghost-masked man in front of him was a huge shadow, a thick ink that could not be dissolved.

It was the most extreme darkness in the world.

Long Qi looked at this scene in a daze, his eyes first becoming shocked, then becoming terrified.

"How is it."

Gu Shen asked with a gentle and caring voice, "Is Chi Zhi Tong clear enough? Do I need to take off my mask?"
