————————–
Gu Qing Shan scanned through his Inventory Bag with his inner sight.
The cultivation jade tag has disappeared!
The mountain-sized jade tag containing all of Bai Hua sect’s cultivation scriptures had been taken by someone without him knowing.
Having reached his place in the world today, Gu Qing Shan could already be considered a first-rate, if not the very best, sword cultivator within the Boundless Void, but someone had done the impossible and took something on his person without him noticing.
.
Very few people would be able to achieve this.
——and that person only took the Bai Hua sect’s cultivation jade tag.
It’s Shifu.
It’s definitely her.
—–I really couldn’t tell when Shifu did it at all!
Alright.
The truth has been made very clear.
Shifu had indeed arrived.
Gu Qing Shan’s lips perked up a small bit before readjusting his yaksha mask, then lazily walked back.
The last time I cooperated with Shifu was during the Tribulation at Mount Sumeru.
I wonder how strong Shifu had actually become?
However, since she’s remaining hidden among the wraiths without showing up, she must be a little bit wary of that Apocalypse.
Otherwise, she would have already come to discuss with me on how to get rid of all the Apocalypses.
——just like how we discussed catching the Phoenix as their mount at the Divine Mountain.
“Greetings, Wraith Might sir”
Gu Qing Shan stepped aside and bowed to greet another Wraith Might.
After waiting for the other party to pass, he once again resumed walking.
The middle of noon had gone by, so the Wraith Temple was slowly becoming busy again.
At some unknown point, everyone had begun to discuss a single matter.
———the giant eyeball was continuously approaching the Wraith realm, and would reach them very soon.
Everyone’s expressions were full of anxiety like before a huge battle while they sent out orders one after another.
Some especially powerful wraiths and angels had even received orders to sortie, so they were quickly leaving the Wraith Temple before taking flight.
Gu Qing Shan continued his casual stroll, occasionally stepping aside for others to go ahead.
After spending a bit more time, he finally returned to their resting room.
“You’re finally back, but big brother Leng still hasn’t returned, what now!?”
Zhao Jiu Xuan immediately called out to him.
He had already left the hot spring and put on his cultivation clothing, currently on the verge of panicking.
“What are you so worried about?” Gu Qing Shan leisurely asked.
“How can I not be? It’s almost time for the Wraith Lord’s summon, but big brother Leng still hasn’t come back!” Zhao Jiu Xuan exclaimed.
Gu Qing Shan chuckled and said: “Big brother Leng had always been a careful and meticulous person, he’s most likely there already”
A voice called out from behind them:
“You’re right, Zhao Jiu Xuan, you should learn from Chu Feng and train your mental fortitude a bit more”
Demon Dragon.
He had returned.
Gu Qing Shan turned to him and asked in a whisper: “Brother Leng, is everything going well?”
“Hm, I’m going to see the Wraith Lord first, we’ll talk later”
After saying that, Demon Dragon nodded to the two of them, then quickly left again.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and understood.
Demon Dragon is going to capture Cang Wu Zhang.
After his meeting with the Wraith Lords, he’ll lure Cang Wu Zhang out, then knock him unconscious for me to use [Mystery of All Beings Equal].
A few hours later, he will return together with ‘myself’ at that point in time.
“See, nothing to worry about” Gu Qing Shan told Zhao Jiu Xuan.
He sat down on the table next to the hot spring, poured himself a cup of tea, but paused right as he was about to drink.
Wait.
——why do I feel like something isn’t quite right?
Gu Qing Shan carefully examined himself, then finally reached into his Inventory Bag with his inner sight.
Only to see that the Bai Hua sect’s cultivation jade tag had already been returned at some point!
Completely unknown to anyone!
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
He recalled every single wraith he saw on the way back, but still couldn’t detect anyone suspicious among them.
This truly is…
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but sigh with a mind full of admiration.
—–I’m also very knowledgeable and have been through many battles, met numerous powerful entities, and seen countless mystical matters.
But when it comes to ‘swiping’, no one has ever surpassed Shifu.
Since she had returned the jade tag, there must be a reason.
Gu Qing Shan pondered briefly before sending his inner sight into the jade tag.
Right away, Xie Dao Ling’s voice could be heard from the jade tag:
“Qing Shan, to not alert the enemy, it’s inconvenient for us to meet for now”
“Your master can tell that you’ve become the Chosen Saint of Huang Quan, as well as the Chosen Saint of the Wraiths——- as a cultivator, to be able to obtain the Chosen Saint qualifications for both realms is truly unprecedented, Shifu is happy for you”
“Since there is still some time, I will pass on a Mind Incantation to you. You must now surpass the Star River Saint and enter the Impossibly Unknown realm”
“Being unknown to gods and demons alike is the very first step of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy”
Crack!
The entire jade tag broke in half, from which an orange and a yellow mass of light appeared, hovering directly above the jade tag.
As Gu Qing Shan scanned them with his inner sight, the two masses of light seemed to have received guidance and followed his inner sight into his Thought Sea.
The orange mass of light exploded into countless words that floated inside Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea.
As Gu Qing Shan focused on them, he saw Xie Dao Ling’s writing:
[The living beings of the Samsara may enter the Impossibly Unknown realm starting from Star River Saint realm]
[At this realm, spirit energy will be completely converted to the Samsara’s Origin power, turning one’s strength indiscernible and immeasurable]
[This originated from the Samsara’s mercy, using the power of Unknown to guard the lives of the Samsara’s living beings]
[Except for those who participate in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, where only those who could utilize their peerless wits and strength regardless of the enemy’s strength would be able to achieve their position within the Samsara]
As the writing disappeared, the incantation of a mind technique appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
At the same time, lines of glowing text swiftly appeared on the War God UI:
[You’ve received a 72-word Samsara Mind Incantation]
[By sacrificing a Samsara fragment and a corresponding Divine Skill from your Chosen Saint realm, you would be able to use this incantation to achieve the Impossible Unknown realm]
[Once this is complete, no entity would be able to discern your exact strength any longer]
[From this point on, the progression of your strength will directly correlate to the number of Samsara power you wield. The more fragments of the Samsara you hold, the more powerful you will become]
[Note: This is the first step of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy]
Gu Qing Shan silently memorized the Mind Incantation, then turned to the yellow mass of light.
Lines of glowing text then showed up:
[A Huang Quan fragment that had been isolated by 36 Immortal Crafts, no entity would be able to detect its existence, not even an Apocalypse]
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze appeared moved.
—–Shifu had prepared a fragment of the Huang Quan realm for me.
Shifu wasn’t a Chosen Saint of the Huang Quan realm, so she didn’t have a Huang Quan Divine Skill to provide him.
However, I currently have three Huang Quan Divine Skills.
[Huang Quan’s Guidance], [Forgetting River Severance], and [Devil Devour].
With the Mind Incantation, a fragment, and a Divine Skill, I can break through to Impossibly Unknown realm right now!
“Perfect! It’s perfect! Now that a great battle approaches, being able to grow stronger is exceptionally important. If I don’t at least give it a try, never mind disappointing Shifu, even I wouldn’t be able to look at myself properly”
“I have to succeed!”
Having decided, Gu Qing Shan focused his attention on comprehending the Mind Incantation.
As the wielder of the dragon race’s power, the authority of the River of Death, and Shroud’s companion, he had researched and learned a lot of mystical knowledge.
It could be said that at this point, Gu Qing Shan’s understanding of power and the Laws had far surpassed that of normal Professionists.
——he didn’t even need to spend any Soul Points, with his abilities alone, he was able to comprehend the core of the Mind Incantation.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly looked up at Zhao Jiu Xuan and said: “I took a stroll outside, but didn’t find anything good to eat at all, Jiu Xuan, how about you go take a look?”
—–there was a prosperous street just outside of the Wraith Temple.
After a bit more time, the ‘Gu Qing Shan’ of this point in time would impersonate Cang Wu Zhang and return to the end of that street with Demon Dragon through a warp formation.
“Alright, wait for me a bit” Zhao Jiu Xuan replied.
He stood up and walked out.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes, stood up, then slowly walked around the hot spring.
All of a sudden.
A crimson red starlight and a mass of sorrowful yellow fog suddenly manifested from the void of space, became entangled with one another, then stood closely behind Gu Qing Shan.
The crimson red starlight was the manifestation of Wraith realm’s power, while the yellow fog was the manifestation of the Huang Quan realm’s power.
The two kinds of power became entangled increasingly more until they eventually turned into two mystical runes that flew into Gu Qing Shan’s head from the top, firmly entering his Thought Sea.
“Sacrifice… the [Devil Devour] technique”
Gu Qing Shan pondered shortly before putting the Huang Quan fragment in his Thought Sea into the Mind Incantation.
At the same time, a notification popped up on the War God UI:
[Through the sacrifice, your Speech Divine Skill: Devil Devour, as well as the Huang Quan realm fragment in your hand had both returned to the Samsara’s origin]
A few moments later.
Another line of glowing text appeared:
[You’ve achieved Impossibly Unknown realm]
[You’ve completed the Saint Selection and fulfil the prerequisites of participation in the Samsara Clash of Supremacy]
[Thanks to your increased cultivation realm, you may now select one Thaumaturgy to turn into a Divine Skill belonging to either the Huang Quan or the Wraith realm]
