Chapter 1238: Night Cruiser

Hearing that voice, Gu Qing Shan immediately became cautious.

Because this wasn’t the voice of a person, rather the amalgamation of numerous tiny voices.

Gu Qing Shan had completely no idea why he was here, nor where that voice came from.

He looked around, only to find nothing but desolate barren earth.

The ground was filled with jagged rocks, devoid of all life, with only a single withered tree in his vision.

“Who are you!?” Gu Qing Shan shouted in question.

「 Save me first, hurry! 」

The voice urged.

Gu Qing Shan wanted to say something else, but his consciousness suddenly became blurred for a moment.

He instinctively looked up and opened his eyes.

Only to see Li Qiu Yu holding the folding fan in her hand, still sitting across from him.

The bone fragment had already fallen from his hand back onto the table.

“What’s the matter?” Li Qiu Yu asked.

“What just happened?” Gu Qing Shan asked her in return.

“You suddenly fell asleep” Li Qiu Yu replied.

She muttered: “I’ve never seen someone conducting a spirit linking like this before, by falling asleep…”

Gu Qing Shan was surprised, then fell into thought.

Li Qiu Yu understood that Gu Qing Shan was pondering the mysticism of this spirit linking, so she knowingly refrained from bothering him.

In the void of space, lines of glowing text quickly appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan:

[You’ve completed the second spirit linking]

[You’ve experienced a cloning technique from within the inheritance: Night Cruiser]

[Night Cruiser: When you enter a dream, your consciousness can manifest a clone, this clone is able to freely travel through all obstacles and arrive at any location, limited to one time per use]

[Once you dispel the clone, or your clone is destroyed, you will have awoken from your dream]

[Attention: This cloning technique can only be activated at night, during activation, you won’t be noticed by others]

[Continue practicing it to thoroughly grasp this cloning technique]

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

——so a cloning technique like this was also possible.

In the past, Shifu’s [Thousands Incarnations] allowed her to act as an entire country a true sight to behold.

Who would’ve thought that I would now hold a unique cloning technique of my own?

Watching him from the side, when Li Qiu Yu saw him smiling faintly, she asked: “How’s the spirit linking?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I think I have a faint understanding of it now, but I need to practice more to fully grasp it”

Li Qiu Yu nodded: “No one is able to fully grasp their power after a single spirit linking, you will need to undergo much practice and hardship, spending much effort and time to fully grasp your inherited knowledge”

“Is everyone the same?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Indeed, everyone was the same. Whether it was me, my brother, or the sect master, each of us had to constantly practice and trigger the sensation from within the inheritance before we managed to fully grasp our powers” Li Qiu Yu replied.

“Then I’ll begin practicing now”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan laid his face on the table and closed his eyes.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Li Qiu Yu tapped him on the head and said in a displeased tone: “Oi, you just said you were going to practice, why are you getting lazy already?”

Gu Qing Shan helplessly said: “My sister, this inheritance can only be triggered when I go to sleep”

Li Qiu Yu froze.

Wait…

Just now, he really did fall asleep before he triggered his spirit linking inheritance.

Gu Qing Shan once again laid his head on the table, adjusted himself into a comfortable position, and prepared to sleep.

Watching him Li Qiu Yu felt a bit unfair.

How could that be?

Everyone had to work so hard, how come you get to complete your spirit linking simply by sleeping?

“Hey”

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

“If you’re going to sleep, go back to your room and sleep!”

Gu Qing Shan really did go back to his room.

He took off his clothes, laid on the bed, and soon entered his nap.

For cultivators, it was quite simple to control the state of their bodies.

Gu Qing Shan would still be fine even if he doesn’t sleep for over several hundred years.

Now that he was a Sumeru Lord realm cultivator, he could even eject his soul vessel from his body without using a secret technique.

But dreaming wasn’t related to one’s cultivation or ability, it was simply luck.

More importantly, he had only just arrived at the School of Shan Hai yesterday, he was naturally cautious during his first night, with many things to ponder and a lot to plan for, so he was awake the entire night without sleeping.

He had also been constantly fighting.

For a very long while.

Starting from his return from the Age of Old, after he took hold of the twin swords Heaven and Earth for himself: he returned to the 900 million World Layers; convinced Lin to join his side; dealt with the backflow of the Eternal Abyss; met up with Laura; saved Boss; performed the Dance with Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li; created his World Technique; traveled to Calming Soul Country; traveled to the secret passage of the Dusty World; searched for the Soul Shrieker’s spear—– which then became a shield that he left for Zhang Ying Hao to use; then fought against [Chaos]…

He had truly been through a lot.

Tonight, he had finally gotten a reason that forced him to sleep.

Tonight.

He didn’t dream.

…

Early morning.

“How was last night?” Li Qiu Yu asked.

“Not good, things didn’t go well” Gu Qing Shan looked dejected.

Li Qiu Yu immediately felt a lot better and scoffed: “I knew you were still missing something, how could there be such a simple thing in this world, achieving spirit linking by sleeping, I’ve never heard of such a thing…”

She left the kitchen while mumbling to herself, walking to the closet to change into today’s clothes.

Knock knock knock!

Someone was knocking on the door.

When Gu Qing Shan came to check, he found that it was Zhao Qiong who came.

“Senior Zhao, please come in!” he enthusiastically said.

Zhao Qiong looked at him from top to bottom and commented: “You seem to be in high spirits”

“I’ve always been in high spirits” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Not at all, I’ve always felt that you seemed tired somehow, but not today” Zhao Qiong stroked his head and said.

She went in and greeted Li Qiu Yu who had just finished changing.

“Ah, Zhao Qiong. Come and have breakfast with us, we can talk while we eat. That’s right, I still haven’t congratulated you for your promotion” Li Qiu Yu said.

Promotion?

Gu Qing Shan looked at Zhao Qiong.

Zhao Qiong’s face became a bit flushed, then said embarrassedly: “Ah, that’s right, since I finished compiling my Book of Bones, coupled with the discovery of you and that piece of scale, followed by my cooperation with that legendary Sword Saint Gu against the Apocalypse—— although I didn’t really do anything——- I was promoted”

“Then now, you’re—–” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Head Bookkeeper” Zhao Qiong replied.

Li Qiu Yu added: “One more promotion and she’ll reach the same rank of management as my brother, above that is the sect master”

“How nice” Gu Qing Shan praised.

The three of them sat down and enjoyed their breakfast.

After the meal, Zhao Qiong took out a piece of bone and put it in Gu Qing Shan’s hand.

“This is a book I specifically found for you, it recorded all of the knowledge in our School regarding Spirit Linked fist techniques, I hope that will give you a frame of reference”

Gu Qing Shan and Li Qiu Yu exchanged glances.

“Thank you, senior Zhao, I definitely need this” Gu Qing Shan carefully took the piece of bone.

Seeing that she was able to help him, Zhao Qiong also subconsciously smiled.

She then said her goodbyes and left.

Li Qiu Yu closed the door before asking: “Aren’t you supposed to think of a way to train your sleeping right now? That shouldn’t be of any use to you”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “It can be, even if it won’t help me now, it might in the future”

“You were afraid that she might feel disappointed” Li Qiu Yu asked him straight.

“Others coming to help you so happily always carry their best intentions” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Li Qiu Yu glanced at him but said nothing else.

The two of them silently had their tea, cleaned up, then left.

“I’m going to take a quick look and see if I have any missions today, you can head to class first, I’ll call you if anything comes up” Li Qiu Yu said.

“Alright” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Do you still remember the way to the Study Lodge?”

“I do”

“Hm, do your best and study, don’t be lazy now”

“I know, I’m always looking to improve”

…

15 minutes later.

Gu Qing Shan once again reached the Study Lodge and found a place to sit down.

The other students in the room appeared quite excited.

According to the regular schedule, since yesterday’s practical combat class was postponed, it would be made up for today.

After a while of waiting.

The old teacher who taught history yesterday slowly walked into the classroom.

“Why are you here again!?” one of the students called out.

“That’s right, teacher Liu should have been here to teach us today! I was looking forward to practical class!” another student complained.

The old teacher wasn’t angry, nor did he answer them.

He walked up to the podium, lightly placed his book on it, then took off his hat and placed it in front of his chest.

He lowered his head.

The classroom slowly grew silent.

The students gradually understood a certain thing.

They sporadically stood up one by one, lowered their heads, and began to mourn.

——–their practical combat class teacher would never show up again.
