The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1071 - 500: Tomb Robbing (2)

The Silver King did not fully utilize the Candle Light Law.

Of course, neither did Gu Jianlin.

"A remarkable young man."

The Silver King waved his hand slightly, collecting all the fragments of the Stone Embryo, turned around, and sat back on the meditation mat.

"What do you think?"

The Golden King asked without any change in expression.

"It’s not his problem, but there’s definitely something fishy about this."

The Silver King said expressionlessly, "Continue."

Since even the Catastrophe didn’t raise any issues, the heads of the great families wouldn’t have anything to say either.

Only Ye Ni from the Ye Family glanced at the young man with an imperceptible ripple of emotion in her eyes, and said, whether intentionally or unintentionally, "Lord Ying really is blessed, with such outstanding talents among his descendants."

Lord Ying waved his hand and laughed, "Have many children, and one of them is bound to hit the jackpot."

Professor Cheng stood silently with his hands behind his back, but internally he let out a sigh of relief.

This child truly walks an unconventional path.

Over four hundred years ago, the teacher of the President once forged 999 heavy bronze bells in a Buddhist temple, each engraved with complex Alchemy Matrices. Only the Heavenly Person who possesses the Candle Light Law could awaken them. If their sounds could resonate across the world, one could earn the qualification to become a Guardian of the Human World.

Unfortunately, in that era, men were favored over women, and even though Taihua, being a woman who could ring all the 999 bronze bells, she could still not gain recognition and had to serve as an assistant to her husband.

But Taihua was not one to bow to such conventions.

Legend has it she slapped down on the bells, causing 990 bronze bells to shatter one after another.

Stunning the world.

It has to be said, they’re too similar.

No wonder Taihua took a liking to this child.

However, as for Gu Jianlin, the person involved, he never even thought of being this high-profile.

How was he supposed to know that staring at this damn rock a bit longer would cause it to explode?

He didn’t feel much guilt for damaging the President’s collection.

Because soon, he plans to wreck the Order World his Grandmaster painstakingly operated for four hundred years.

Who asked the old lady to no longer be around.

If the old lady were still here, he certainly wouldn’t do that.

Since she is not, no one can control him.

If you have the ability, come back alive.

Gu Jianlin always believed in one saying.

No Taihua’s order, absolutely not order.

Gu Jianlin couldn’t accept the rise of another President in this world.

Because no one deserves it.

Having cleared his suspicions, Gu Jianlin returned to the passageway, breathing a long sigh of relief.

From start to finish, Mu Shiyu was staring at him with a strange expression, eyes sharp as if trying to pierce through his heart, clearly suspecting he had issues yet having to hold back due to the lack of evidence.

Gu Jianlin could only act as if nothing happened. If this young girl really found out something, he would find a chance to wipe her out, as he could currently slaughter Holy Land Level ones with ease.

"You scared me, I thought you had caused a huge disaster."

Xia Zhi quietly approached and whispered in his ear, "Hey, did you tamper with the Stone Embryo ahead of time to help me pass the test, causing it to explode?"

Thinking of this, she felt a mix of fear and sweetness, but once she thought of the fact that he had a girlfriend, her emotions became a jumble of bittersweet feelings.

Gu Jianlin gave her a glance, it seems she misunderstood.

Back then, Xia Zhi being chosen for the Third Law experiment meant she has certain talents.

Alright, she has talents, but not much. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Gu Jianlin just lent a helping hand, nothing more.

"Don’t overthink it,"

He said calmly, "I didn’t do anything."

Xia Zhi pouted, as if to say, ’Who would believe you.’

Ying Changsheng walked over with his hands behind his back, leaned against the wall beside him, expressionless, and said, "What do you think?"

He referred to the feeling of facing a Catastrophe directly.

Recalling the purity of the Candle Light Law he felt earlier, Gu Jianlin thought for a while and said:

"It’s nothing special."

For Gu Jianlin, silver and gold weren’t remarkable apart from their Rank, at least they didn’t bring him enough pressure. In the domains of Candle Light and You Ying’s Supreme Law, they were rather mediocre.

Compared to Qing and Chi, they were indeed far inferior.

Given enough time, he was confident he could handle them both.

At least, from his perspective.

Yet the Ascenders of the Order World revered these two Catastrophes like gods, just like these young people sitting in the Zen Temple, gazing at the two figures in the temple with almost devout solemnness, comparable to venerating Buddha.

After testing these young talents, Platinum and Gold held a solemn Buddhist ceremony. They washed their hands, burned incense, recited sutras, and worshipped the statues in the ancient bell sounds, completing the intricate ritual at dusk.

Gu Jianlin did not understand their purpose and asked in a low voice, "What are they doing?"

Ying Changsheng sat cross-legged on a mat and muttered a code in a low voice, "The young people gathered in the Zen Temple now are all Heavenly Persons who passed the Candle Light Law test. In theory, Platinum and the others might also have created a batch of Evolvers, but as they represent the order, they wouldn’t make it public."

"During the day, Grandpa and Aunt will help the young ones adapt to the Candle Light Law."

He paused, "At night, they will secretly assist the Evolvers in their evolution."

Gu Jianlin nodded slightly, thinking it made sense.

"Now we all have the qualification to enter the Inner Sanctum."

Ying Changsheng hummed, "In the Order World, the Inner Sanctum is an absolute forbidden area because the President comprehended the essence of the Candle Light Law here. Platinum believes all the President’s secrets were left here. They too seek to comprehend heaven and earth here, trying to unlock the ultimate secret of the Heavenly Person."

Gu Jianlin had to admit, there were indeed traces left by his Grandmaster in this Inner Sanctum, and he could even feel a quiet Zen ambiance. His Heavenly Person’s Breathing became extraordinarily smooth here.

Xia Zhi only saw the two of them whispering, completely unaware of what they were saying.

"Everyone present is an elite of the Ether Association and a genuine Heavenly Person of the Order World."

The Golden King stood with his back to the young people, speaking indifferently, "As a Guardian of order, I believe it is time to reveal to you the secret the Order World has passed down for countless thousands of years."

He paused, "Regarding the origins of the Heavenly Person’s legacy."

At dusk, the black-haired boy put on a baseball cap, zipped up his black sports jacket, and walked through the tree-lined path behind the Central Spirit Core Institute, like an almost nonexistent ghost passing through ancient trees, gliding upwards.

This was Gu Jianlin’s true form.

He certainly wouldn’t methodically gather intelligence inside the Order World through advancement.

He had his own methods.

If he were of a higher Rank, he might have directly stormed the mountain gate.

Today’s main target is the Taiqing cemetery, said to be in the deepest part of the Buddhist temple. Tomb raiding was something he was familiar with, whether being the corpse inside or the thief entering the tomb, he had experience.

This operation, however, requires extra caution.

Because the Golden and Silver Kings were inside the Buddhist temple, and this time he was using his true form, any slight oversight would lead to exposure.

Although teachers and uncles promised not to let him die under a Demigod’s hands.

But as of now, the Holy Land Level at the Eighth Rank can still pose a threat to him.

Even as night approached, the mountain paths of the back mountain were still filled with young people who came to perceive the Heavenly Person’s Breathing, wandering like bewitched devotees on the stone steps, taking three steps and bowing nine times while muttering.

Gu Jianlin passed by them ghost-like and arrived in front of a Demon Hunter.

"Lead the way."

He made his presence known and said expressionlessly.

The Demon Hunter seeing him wasn’t surprised, and smiled, saying, "Understood, boss."

The Demon Hunter and his companions lifted their eyes, with eerie gold in the depths of their pupils.
