In the ancient and gloomy castle, the candles on both sides of the corridor flickered, casting mottled light and shadows, as if time had stopped here, and every ray of light carried the heaviness and secrets of the past.

The confrontation between Qin Shou and Gu Cheng was like two invisible strong winds colliding violently in a narrow space. Even the air was filled with a suffocating atmosphere of tension, as if even the night sky outside was pulled by this invisible force and became darker. The stars seemed to have hidden their light, just to witness the contest that was about to break out.

Gu Cheng, the legendary figure in the family, has a few shallow marks carved by the years on his face, but it also adds a bit of majesty to his face.

Even though he had realized that Qin Shou opposite him was no ordinary person, and there were some waves in his heart, the pride and confidence that came from his bones were as solid as a rock.

His martial soul, the Sky-Splitting Mirror, is a powerful martial soul that can tear apart space and has extremely strong destructive attack power.

Although it is not as rare as Gu Xun'er's martial soul, the Sky-Splitting Mirror, which can see through all the illusions in the world, but in terms of the purity and domineering attack power, the Sky-Splitting Mirror is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling martial souls in the family's history.

As Gu Cheng's soul power surged, his figure began to be enveloped by a layer of faint blue light, which was the manifestation of the unique power of the Sky-Splitting Mirror.

However, just as this force was about to reach its peak, Qin Shou on the opposite side still maintained his calm attitude. His eyes were deep and calm, as if nothing in the world could touch him in the slightest.

Qin Shou slowly raised his right hand, and a faint flame gently jumped on his fingertips. Although the flame was inconspicuous, it contained terrifying energy that even Gu Cheng couldn't help but look sideways.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which showed both recognition of Gu Cheng's strength and his firm belief in his own victory.

"Senior Gu Cheng, your Sky-Splitting Mirror is indeed breathtaking, but in the face of true power, any defense will be useless."

As Qin Shou finished speaking, the air in the entire corridor seemed to freeze for a moment, and then, an unprecedented powerful pressure burst out from his body, echoing Gu Cheng's power to split the sky, but also had a tendency to suppress it.

At this moment, every stone slab and every wall in the castle seemed to be shaking, witnessing the fierce confrontation that was about to take place between the two powerful men.

The night became even darker at this moment, as if the whole world was holding its breath in anticipation of the upcoming showdown.

Under Qin Shou's terrifying pressure, Gu Cheng clenched his teeth and frowned slightly.

Fortunately, Qin Shou had no intention of hurting anyone. He released and then retracted his terrifying pressure, controlling it very skillfully.

"Huh, I have to admit that I am indeed old. I never thought that there would be a strong person like you among the young people nowadays."

As the terrifying and heart-pounding pressure dissipated silently like morning mist, Gu Cheng seemed to be pulled back to reality from the edge of an endless abyss. He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest heaving violently like a drowning man who had just emerged from the deep sea. The relief of surviving the disaster turned into a long and complex sigh.

There was a self-deprecating smile in his voice, but he could not hide his sincere awe and admiration for Qin Shou's amazing strength. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the tense nerves of the people around him.

"Oh, it's just luck." Qin Shou chuckled, and there was a bit of humility and depth in that smile, as if to say that no matter how powerful the force is, at certain moments it is just a clever arrangement of fate.

He knew very well that the other party was not only Gu Xun'er's beloved great-grandfather, but also an important elder of the Gu family. This blood and family bond unconsciously made his words carry a hint of gentleness and closeness.

When Gu Cheng heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he was recalling the past or thinking about something.

He opened his mouth, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end it just turned into a helpless shake of the head. Those gratitude, surprise or deeper questions were cleverly hidden in his heart.

Then, he changed the subject, his tone deliberately creating a sense of ease: "Forget it, since you and I are both safe and sound, that is the best outcome. By the way, Qin Shou, is there anything else that made you visit so suddenly this time?"

"No, I was just passing by. I came down to take a look when I sensed the fluctuations of your soul power during your breakthrough. Now it's time for me to leave."

Qin Shou shook his head slightly, and that action revealed a kind of indifference and carefreeness that was detached from the world.

After all, at this moment, Qin Shou's strength has reached the pinnacle of this world, and his every move can cause the heaven and earth to change color, but there is no trace of complacency in his eyes, but instead a deep and peaceful state, as if everything in this world can no longer stir up the waves in his heart.

"Strength, to me, is a thing of the past. Especially the several world origins in the system. They are not only symbols of strength, but also keys to changing destiny. They can easily improve the shackles of this world. Now I seem to have lost the motivation I had when I first crossed over. The only thing I have to do now is to leisurely help the girls improve their cultivation and then wait for my child to be born."

Qin Shou's gaze penetrated the layers of night, as if he could glimpse the distant future, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

Gu Cheng did not question Qin Shou's words at all. He thought of the apple of Gu's eye and asked, "Are you going to take Xun'er away?"

"No need. Now that I know this place, I'll let her stay here." Qin Shou withdrew his sentimental thoughts, thought for a while and shook his head.

After all, Gu Xun'er carries the fate of the family on her shoulders. When she chose to leave temporarily, Qin Shou knew that the family was still very important to her.

The next moment, Qin Shou's figure seemed to be completely swallowed up by the night, and he suddenly disappeared in front of Gu Cheng without leaving a trace, leaving only the slight fluctuation of soul power in the air, which slowly dissipated like ripples and quickly returned to calm.

Gu Cheng's gaze was deep and calm, without the slightest ripple. This calmness came from his absolute confidence in his own strength. Now, he had reached the pinnacle of the soul master world and entered the legendary realm of level 100, a supreme realm that was enough to subvert conventions and touch the threshold of the gods.

The night is as dark as ink, with twinkling stars, as if even the sky is silently paving the way for the upcoming changes.

Gu Cheng slowly turned around, his eyes penetrating the darkness and looking directly in the direction of the distant and mysterious Spirit Hall.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a meaningful smile, which showed both indifference to past challenges and infinite longing and determination for the future journey.

"Spirit Hall." He whispered. Although his voice was light, it contained a strength and determination that could not be ignored.
