Gu Qing Shan was incredibly shaken.
This was the part of my deduction that was least likely to be wrong.
And yet it was actually the only thing that was wrong.
What Xie Gu Hong took was a Bygone Era sword technique, not the phantom images technique.
——-then where did the phantom images technique come from?
If it came from the Desolate race or the Eternal True God, why did they give such a powerful spell to humanity?
Seems like there are still a lot of variables that I still haven’t accounted for during this era.
Gu Qing Shan stood in front of the floating jade tag and fell into thought.
He once again scanned the jade tag with his inner sight.
“Enemy-killing Sword Technique…”
“Why does this sound so familiar?”
Gu Qing Shan muttered as he tried to recall where he heard this before.
All of a sudden, he placed his hand on his Inventory Bag and began to search through it.
The thing he wanted to find was so big that he found it almost right away.
——-a mega-sized jade tag.
This was from Xie Gu Hong.
Xie Gu Hong put his entire life’s experience and techniques into this jade tag.
Gu Qing Shan once took a brief glance through it so he had already seen the name ‘Enemy-killing Sword Technique’.
But at the time, not only was the requirements to study ‘Enemy-killing Sword Technique’ too high for him, but the name was also so simple that he didn’t pay much attention to it.
Who would’ve thought, this was actually a Bygone Era sword technique!
The Bygone Era…
What kind of swordsmanship did that era practice?
Gu Qing Shan already couldn’t wait to study this sword technique.
Right next to where this sword technique was recorded, Xie Gu Hong had written a note:
[This is a sword technique beyond all of my imagination, after a long time of contemplation, I understood something: With my current level of swordsmanship, I will need to improve by several more leaps and bound in order to reach any level of attainment on this sword technique]
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
Even Xie Gu Hong couldn’t learn this sword technique!
Wait, no, not ‘couldn’t’, just not ‘yet’ for now.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head, kept a respectful mind, and put his inner sight into the portion of the jade tag that recorded ‘Enemy-killing Sword Technique’.
He was fully focused on trying to learn the ‘Enemy-killing Sword Technique’.
A few moments later.
Hm…
As expected…
I don’t understand a single thing…
Gu Qing Shan was still unwilling to just give up so he glanced at the War God UI.
Lines of glowing text had already appeared on the War God UI for a while.
[Enemy-killing Sword Technique]
[This is a Bygone Era sword technique, it was used to end everything]
[As your cultivation is still too low, you are temporarily unable to study this sword technique well]
[To comprehend this sword technique, you will need to spend 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Soul Points]
Briefly counting the number of zeroes, Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and said: “Shannu, let’s go”
Shannu was reading through the jade tag that introduced what the ‘Enemy-killing Sword Technique’ was.
“Ah? Gongzi, this sword technique seems to be really powerful” she said.
“Yes” Gu Qing Shan replied, still shocked.
“I didn’t expect palace master Xie to give up on taking a Realm Breaker Pill and chose this Bygone Era sword technique instead” Shannu commented.
“Hm” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“When we come back, let’s find palace master Xie and ask him to teach you this sword technique” Shannu suggested.
Gu Qing Shan stopped and spoke with a serious expression: “Shannu, even Master couldn’t grasp this sword technique, I don’t want to be a sword cultivator who dreams too far ahead”
“What does gongzi mean?”
“Before I surpass Master, I won’t study this sword technique”
“Gongzi, you really are a steadfast person” Shannu praised him.
“Let’s stop talking and go”
“Yes, gongzi”
Gu Qing Shan took out a warp talisman and infused it with his spirit energy.
He immediately vanished from the 36th floor and was teleported away.
…
The Desolate world.
Within the wilderness made completely from demon stones.
Inside an underground cave.
Gu Qing Shan appeared.
When they came here, there were a total of 4 people, but only Xie Gu Hong and Gu Qing Shan came back.
The white-haired old man and the burly man were both subordinates of the Eternal True God, they both betrayed humanity.
Xie Gu Hong was given the forging method of the twin swords Heaven and Earth from the old man, he himself also took the ‘Enemy-killing Sword Technique’ and had already left.
So Gu Qing Shan was here by himself.
He released his inner sight to observe the surroundings.
On the surface outside of the cave, the horde of monsters was still everywhere, taking up every single spot in the direction heading deeper into the Desolate world.
Most of the monsters on the outside weren’t too powerful.
But the closer one got to the fortress wall, the more terrifying the monsters became.
This was the sea of monsters that the Lord of Desolation——— no, the Soul Shrieker had set up. Without Shadow Origin Power to conceal oneself, no one would be able to cross it.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a short moment, slowly left the cave and stopped behind a hidden dune of rocks.
He opened his palm.
A coin appeared in his hand.
This was the coin that the figure of light gave him. It can only be used once to return to the Primordial Heaven Realm’s Sky Beyond Heaven at any time.
Gu Qing Shan went silent briefly.
“System, do you still need Soul Points now?” he asked.
[Ting]!
The War God System replied with a clear chime: [Naturally, the more Soul Points, the better]
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He didn’t even bother to ask why the System still needed Soul Points, he simply hid behind the dune of stone and silently waited.
A few moments later.
His expression shifted.
An intense rumble resounded across the entire world.
The chaotic tide had arrived!
This was a phenomenon caused by the power of the demon stones accumulating inside the void of space to the very limit, mixing and clashing before erupting.
The monsters were troubled.
They stopped looking around and stuck close to the ground, afraid that they would be caught in the chaotic tides.
——-since there were so many types of different powers into the chaotic tides, if one of them happens to counter them, it would be very bad to get caught in it.
Gu Qing Shan’s eyes shined.
He silently triggered his sword technique.
The Chao Yin sword and Six Paths Great Mountain sword both appeared from the void of space.
“Go!” he uttered.
The two swords let out a faint vibration as they flew into the sea of monsters.
The first monster was beheaded by the Chao Yin sword.
Before it died, it only managed to let out a high-pitched shriek.
But the chaotic tides were so loud that it drowned out its shriek, unable to transmit too far.
——all the monsters were currently doing their best to avoid the chaotic tides so they didn’t have the time to worry about other monsters.
Taking his chance, Gu Qing Shan used numerous Secret Arts and expended his spirit energy like no tomorrow.
The two swords weaved and moved all over——–
The chaotic tides were dyed red in blood!
The lives of the monsters in the vast wilderness were like a bountiful harvest waiting to be collected, and the two swords were the harvesters.
At a certain point, a sharp ‘Kih’ was heard.
The Chao Yin sword spun in the air and returned.
It was hit by some sort of strange power.
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help asking: “Are you ok?”
The Chao Yin sword vibrated briefly, turned back into a streak of light, and continued harvesting the monsters’ lives.
Gu Qing Shan observed for a while more.
Occasionally, the Chao Yin sword would take a hit.
Since the Six Paths Great Mountain sword had the [Invincible] and [Law Breaker] properties, none of the powers managed to affect it, allowing it to kill the monsters without interruption.
Gu Qing Shan decided to throw the frost Blade out as well, using it to cast large AOE ice techniques.
Finally, the cries of the monsters managed to overpower the sound of the chaotic tides.
Partly because Gu Qing Shan killed too many of them.
But also because the chaotic tide was gradually coming to an end.
Some of the more powerful Desolate monsters had already noticed Gu Qing Shan’s ambush, quickly regained their composure from the fear of the chaotic tides, and charged towards his location.
Roar!!!!
The monsters were all roaring in anger.
There isn’t much time left.
If I kill more, there might be a problem.
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand.
The Blade and swords quickly came back and disappeared into the void of space behind him.
Gu Qing Shan activated the coin in his hand.
It gave off a faint light.
At the very next second, Gu Qing Shan disappeared without a trace.
He returned to the Grand Divine Palace inside the Sky Beyond Heaven.
The figure of light was waiting here.
Luo Bing Li was still busy creating the jade disk.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan returned, both of them noticed him.
Luo Bing Li acted indifferently and continued to create the jade disk without looking up.
The figure of light greeted and couldn’t help asking: 「 How was it, your Divine Majesty, were you able to find any secrets? 」
“Naturally, I found out everything”
Gu Qing Shan replied and gestured to the other party not to be in too much of a hurry.
He glanced at the War God UI.
——–notifications of the Soul Points he obtained was still scrolling up like crazy on the War God UI.
