The dark clouds above scattered.
Qin Xiao Lou successfully went through his Tribulation.
Although he had already accomplished Bai Hua Fairy’s requirement, Qin Xiao Lou didn’t return to the ground.
He sat still on top of the kite, taking a jade tag in hand and seriously studied the scripture for Ascended realm.
Both Xie Dao Ling and Gu Qing Shan had never seen Qin Xiao Lou be that serious in his cultivation before.
If it was him from the past, he would’ve already flown down and hurriedly went to find something fun to do.
Xie Dao Ling and Gu Qing Shan both pulled back their inner sights, happy with what they saw.
For Qin Xiao Lou to show such exemplary behaviors, it was similar to seeing the sun rise from the West, but it was something to look forward to.
Gu Qing Shan and Bai Hua Fairy continued to talk for a bit more, then he took out the 7-colored fragrance bag and returned it to his Shifu.
This bag contained all of Bai Hua sect’s inheritance and stock of resources.
Looking at the fragrance bag, both master and disciple felt a bit emotional.
Too many things have happened since the last time they both saw this bag.
Fortunately, everyone was still alive and well.
Gu Qing Shan spoke: “All the scriptures and techniques I obtained from the Suspended world are recorded in the jade tags in here”
“Furthermore, I’ve also copied a few of our sect’s jade tags so that I can slowly study them, what do you think, Shifu?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Of course, there’s no problem with that” Xie Dao Ling answered him.
“Then this disciple will go back first”
Gu Qing Shan nodded and stood up, preparing to go back to rest.
“Wait, Qing Shan” Bai Hua Fairy called out.
“Do you need me for something else, Shifu?”
“Hm, during my time in the cultivation alliance, I fought and cultivated day by day, but I was able to exchange knowledge and experience of many other cultivation worlds, cross-referencing together”
Xie Dao Ling took out a jade tag and threw it to Gu Qing Shan.
She told him: “There was a certain Secret Art that was very useful, even to my eyes”
“And so I had exchanged for this Secret Art from that person through various means”
“As you are a sword cultivator, I grant this Secret Art to you”
Gu Qing Shan received the jade tag and felt indescribably grateful, clasping his fist together: “Thank you, Shifu”
——–even though Xie Dao Ling explained that so casually, he understood very well.
Sword Secret Arts are hard to obtain.
It was a general consensus that sword Secret Arts are a sword cultivator’s spells, with each of them being much stronger than others of the same level.
Bai Hua Fairy’s eyes have always been higher than her head, so a Secret Art that caught her eyes must be quite a unique one.
To be able to exchange for such a rare sword Secret Art from someone else, she must’ve spent untold amounts of expensive resources to exchange for it.
But I am the only sword cultivator in the sect.
Which means, she had specifically exchanged his Secret Art from someone for me.
Gu Qing Shan’s heart felt warm.
“Study it well and learn that Secret Art as soon as you can——- you may go back now” Bai Hua Fairy dismissed him.
Without saying much, Gu Qing Shan simply nodded and went back.
…
On his way back to Orchid Hall, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but sigh.
Shifu treats me and all of her disciples of the sect like her own family.
How could I slack off at all?
But then, as Gu Qing Shan recalled what he saw from before, he still couldn’t believe what he saw.
While we were standing in a Super Dimensional world, Barry easily managed to break through countless World Layers.
But that was partially due to the properties of a Super Dimensional world, because it had the ability to connect to many worlds, so breaking through their void of space was relatively easy.
But Shifu was standing in a Samsara world as she broke through the void of space and made the worlds appear in front of her.
In comparison, Shifu was a lot weaker than Barry, but she was still much stronger than what she had shown.
As expected of the strongest person in the cultivation world!
Those people in the cultivation alliance really had an accurate eye in choosing their leader.
Gu Qing Shan sighed to himself as he returned to Orchid Hall.
Everything was well-kept inside the big hall.
However, the hall itself was empty, so staying there by himself felt a bit lonely.
Fortunately, the large space allowed for wind to drift in from outside, making the atmosphere refreshing.

Gu Qing Shan sat down on a cushion and began to consider the Strife Zones.
——his original world was currently under the Old God’s Protection.
During its transformation, no living being could enter or leave.
So he had no way to return for now.
At this moment, to quickly increase my cultivation I need to enter the Strife Zones.
This was once suggested by the giant corpse before.
Barry and Kitty also had the same opinion.
Now even Shifu feels the same, preparing various things for me with the authority she currently holds.
So Gu Qing Shan had decided to make his preparations to go to the Strife Zones.
He organized everything he currently had.
The 7-colored fragrance bag has been returned to Shifu—— although I have used quite a few things inside, I’ve also replenished them with things from Wang Hong Dao’s Inventory Bag, so now the sect’s resource stock has actually increased compared to before.
Of course, Gu Qing Shan also left a few things for himself to use.
For example, he made a copy of every jade tag scripture in the bag.
Right now, as he held a jade tag in his hand, a few glowing words appeared on the War God UI.
[Huang Quan Divine Skill: Forgetting River]
[To practice this Divine Skill, you must satisfy the following prerequisites]
[Female Cultivator]
[5th stage Elementalist talents]
[God’s Chosen Skill: Soul Caller]
[Secret Art: Soul Comes Soul Goes]
[Secret Art: Sealed Body Yin Shift]
[Samsara Divine Contract: Huang Quan Ferryman]
After reading through it everything again, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but sigh.
There are at least this many prerequisites for learning a Causality Samsara Divine Skill.
Fortunately——
I’ve already unlocked my soul, so no restrictions can no longer apply to me!
Gu Qing Shan smirked confidently and told the War God UI.
“System, I want to use Soul Points to learn the Divine Skill, [Forgetting River]”
[Ting]!

A chime came from the System.
The War God UI replied: [You are unable to learn this Divine Skill]
Gu Qing Shan froze, then hurriedly asked: “Why not? My soul is already unlocked, shouldn’t I be able to learn any skills without restrictions?”
The War God UI answered: [Indeed, your soul has been unlocked, you will no longer be restricted by any single domain, but you are still affected by the gender restraints]
Gender restraints!?
Gu Qing Shan almost coughed up blood.
“In other words, this skill can only be learned by a female cultivator?” he asked
[Indeed, this is the most important prerequisite]
Gu Qing Shan regretfully sighed.
Seems like I’m just not fit at all to learn this skill.
Unless——
No, forget it.
He took out a Blade.
The Blade was jet black, just by being there, it gave off countless cries of pain and suffering.
Grey shadows lingered around the Blade.
The grey shadows waited for a few moments, seeing that no spirit energy was used to activate any spells, they slowly disappeared.
——this Blade was slender and thin; rather than a weapon to be used in close combat, it was closer to a medium used to unleash spells.
This was the Corpse King Blade, a weapon from the Suspended world, the Cryptic realm cultivator Wang Hong Dao’s personal Blade.
This weapon had been with Wang Hong Dao for countless years, witnessing all of his battles.
—–and it recorded all of his battle skills.
Gu Qing Shan reached out his hand and lightly grasped the Blade.
Right away, the [War God Skill] icon of the War God UI lit up.
Countless glowing text swiftly scrolled past the screen.
All the Blade techniques as well as spells that Wang Hong Dao had ever used with the Blade as its medium appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes.
Not even half of Wang Hong Dao’s skills were actual Blade techniques, the majority of them were spells that were related to either corpses or insects.
The Blade has been used to perform so many evil and cruel techniques throughout its entire life that Gu Qing Shan was scowling all the way through reading the descriptions of each technique and how to activate them.
He specifically picked out only the Blade techniques, combined it with Bai Hua sect’s own techniques and comprehended all of them.
The remaining evil skills were discarded.
And then, Gu Qing Shan also reorganized the Bow techniques of his sect.
In the cultivation world, the bow was a rarely used branch of weapons, so Xie Dao Ling didn’t collect too many techniques, most of them were nothing but the essential basics of archery.
After some thinking, Gu Qing Shan also took out Guang Yang sect’s scriptures and searched through them.
He was actually able to find a set of archery scriptures.
But only one.
It could be seen that among cultivation arts, archery wasn’t a mainstream branch.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t mind it too much since he has already forgotten all of his archery skills with only [Shifting Flurry] remaining.
So he learnt all of these skills as well.
After the Blade and Bow, it was time to check Shifu’s jade tag.
Gu Qing Shan held the tag in hand.
A few glowing words appeared on the War God UI.
[Discovered new sword Secret Art]
[Secret Art: Life Seeker, can now be practiced]
