The Grand Pixie’s palace.
Gu Qing Shan explained every exact detail of the Demon Dragon’s background.
“According to what you said, he is actually the strongest weapon that the ancient humans created?” the long-nosed old man asked.
“Correct, it craves the power of the Abyss, then finally fell into it and was transformed into an Eternal life form——- the Abyssal Demon Dragon” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“But how strange” the long-nosed old man contemplated: “You said that it stayed for a long time at the bottom of the Primordial Fiend Realm’s Chaos Demonic Sea, resting inside a secret Abyssal Jail?”
“Correct” Gu Qing Shan confirmed it.
“Then, if that place was a jail, what was the thing being jailed?” the long-nosed old man asked.
“Sorry, but this is related to another secret, it is unrelated to the Demon Dragon” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Another secret…”
The long-nosed old man patted his forehead, still unsatisfied.
Gu Qing Shan spoke up: “Let’s be frank, I’ve told you everything about the Demon Dragon, this secret should be more than enough to exchange for the Riddle World’s location”
The long-nosed old man replied: “Indeed, this is undeniable, this truly is an unbelievable secret with terrific value”
He appeared hesitant, but couldn’t help himself asking: “But there is one crucial point that you have yet to mention”
“What is it?”
“What was the Demon Dragon going after in that final battle of the Age of Old?”
Hearing that question, Gu Qing Shan laughed.
“Hm, that matter is related to an even bigger secret”
Before the other side said anything else: “According to our transaction, I have told you about the true mastermind behind the Strife Zones of the 900 million World Layers, revealed the outcome of the final battle in the Age of Old, and exposed what the Demon Dragon’s experienced up to now. This is surely a hugely valuable secret that is more than enough to exchange for Riddle World’s next location and time”
The long-nosed old man sighed: “Indeed, I agree with you on this”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Then, please finish this transaction of ours”
The long-nosed old man tried asking further: “I want to use a few exceptionally valuable treasures to exchange for the rest of your secrets”
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “My apologies, I have no intention of selling those pieces of information for now”
The long-nosed old man blinked a few times.
He then slowly answered: “Very well. According to the law of the pixies, as we have agreed on a transaction and you have already given me the information you wished to exchange, I will also provide you the information you seek”
“Tonight, when the moon reaches its highest point, 300 miles North of the Scattered Rock mountain, the swamp that leads into Riddle World will appear”
“This swamp will only exist for exactly 5 breaths’ worth of time, you must take that chance to go in. If you miss your chance, it would vanish and only show up again 3 months later”
The long-nosed old man impatiently took out a coin, blew on it, and tossed it to the air.
Cling clang!
The coin landed with a clear metallic chime.
“It’s ‘Head’! See that? The coin of truth and lie had proven that there was no falsehood in our transaction” the long-nosed old man told him.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and nodded: “Then this transaction is over, thank you very much”
The long-nosed old man kept trying: “Yes, this transaction is over, but are you sure you won’t consider selling the rest of your information?”
“Not for now” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The matter with the twin swords Heaven and Earth are too deeply rooted with too many issues, so I can’t say a word.
I can’t say anything about the Abyssal Fate Weaver either, since she had now lost her Abyssal powers and is heavily wounded, I can’t let anyone find her.
——–within this vast 900 million World Layers, as long as something is put into words, there would surely be some sort of strange and unimaginable way to trace back the origin of that matter and locate the related entities.
This was among the advice that the old man from the Spire had given Gu Qing Shan when he rode their boat.
Barry and Kitty had also once told Gu Qing Shan to be careful about matters like these.
So Gu Qing Shan acted extraordinarily careful when he sold the information just now.
The long-nosed old man appeared disappointed and helplessly waved the short club in his hand: “Fine, fine, this matter, hah, whatever”
The scene around them changed again.
They returned next to the well, Gu Qing Shan was standing where he was before, while the long-nosed old man was still standing on the edge of the well.
“Farewell” Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist.
“See you again, and I really look forward to our next meeting” the long-nosed old man also bowed to him slightly.
Gu Qing Shan leapt upwards and flew away towards the rocky mountain from before.
The long-nosed old man watched as he left, all the way until he couldn’t be seen any more that he waved his short club and returned to his palace.
“Damnit! Damnit! Damnit!”
He angrily cursed inside his palace.
“That snot-nosed brat clearly had even more valuable information, but he refused to tell me!”
The long-nosed old man breathed heavily as he picked up a pure gold alarm clock, wanting to throw it to the ground, but then as if remembering how valuable it was, he softly put it back down.
He roared again:
“I am THE Great Pixie, and he dares do that to me!”
“I’m mad! I’m very mad!”
He angrily plopped himself on his chair and spoke to the air: “Go, put up the Demon Dragon secret information, set it as highest top-secret, and let those guys give me a price”
[Understood] a voice replied to him from the air.
The long-nosed old man sighed and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and was about to take a sip when——-
Bam!
A cluster of white fog abruptly exploded in front of his face, startling him to the point that he almost threw the cup away.
“Shi…”
As the long-nosed old man was about to curse again, he froze.
A long piece of writing paper had appeared in front of him, with more and more words showing up without stopping, causing the paper to grow longer and longer as well.
Taking the piece of writing paper, the long-nosed old man was shocked as he read: “So many people want to know about the mastermind behind the 900 million World Layers’ Strife Zones?”
“Wait a minute, a few people also want to know about the final battle in the Age of Old, but this price is a bit low…”
“Hm, the Demon Dragon’s background, I’m not gonna sell that information if the price is less than several worlds”
Seeing the huge profits coming his way, the long-nosed old man became excited.
At this time, the green frog inside the old man’s green robe jumped out again and said: “Master, I’m hungry”
The long-nosed old man looked away from the paper and glanced at the green frog.
He had a sudden thought.
“You’re the Frog of All Secrets, tell me, was that brat only acting, or did he actually have more important secrets?”
The green frog replied: “I’m hungry, can’t answer anything”
The long-nosed old man angrily threw out a figure even smaller than he was.
The green frog’s mouth swiftly opened.
The figure couldn’t even scream before it was swallowed whole by the green frog.
“There, I just gave you fresh, living food today. I’m clearly not treating you badly, now answer my question!” the long-nosed old man urged the frog.
The green frog opened its big mouth and croaked: “That man was wearing the black Silent Dusk Cloak, he had countless secrets about him, his existence itself is also a secret, but all of his secrets have been carefully hidden away. Only the things that he explained on his own accord may be known to others”
“WHAT!? He actually had more secrets!?”
The long-nosed old man practically jumped.
He paced back and forth inside his palace, his eyes glittering nonstop.
…
At another location.
Not too long after he took flight, Gu Qing Shan took out a formation plate and activated the long-ranged warp formation on it.
His figure vanished from the air.
No one would be able to follow him and search for his location now.
Inside the cave of rocks.
Gu Qing Shan appeared.
“Gongzi, how was your investigation?” Shannu asked.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already found out about how to head to the next world, we will leave tonight”
Gu Qing Shan smiled and answered
His gaze then shifted a bit and asked: “So you’ve already awakened?”
At the end of his gaze, the tall slender woman was leaning up from the soft bedding to silently look at him.
