Chapter 376: Mystery
Indescribable chaos
Both time and space were in chaos.
Everything around was like a vast ocean.
Occasionally some strange creatures would appear, then quickly disappear into the unknown vortex.
This was the space vortex.
Seeing this familiar space, Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank.
According to the description on the two Secret Arts, the space vortex would only be visible for a very short time.
After that, he should immediately be able to tell where Huang Quan is.
I followed the method on the Secret Art to feel a guiding force towards Huang Quan.
But despite being in the space vortex for so long, I still can’t sense any guiding force at all.
Why is that?
Gu Qing Shan forced himself to calm down and think.
Right, maybe the Secret Arts are only supposed to guide you to Huang Quan of the cultivation world, not the Huang Quan of the human world.
The Six Paths of each respective world are different, so the Huang Quan realm is also different?
Perhaps the road from here to the Huang Quan of the cultivation world is exceptionally far.
That’s why I couldn’t feel any guiding force that was supposed to appear like the technique said.
At this time, a strange force appeared.
The force softly enveloped Gu Qing Shan and guided him towards a certain direction.
Carefully feeling it, Gu Qing Shan understood.
The 100,000 year-old giant corpse!
This was its power!
Gu Qing Shan softly sighed.
The last time we met, it revealed a lot of secrets, told me how to prevent Bai Hua Fairy’s premonition of death, as well as the method to combine two worlds.
In turn, it received an intense lightning punishment unlike ever before and hasn’t contacted me since.
Has it healed?
Might as well go check on it.
Maybe it’ll be able to give me some advice, with how knowledgeable it is.
Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan let the force freely pull him through the space vortex.
When the force noticed his reaction, it even sped up.
Gu Qing Shan’s soul was moving faster and faster.
He went past a black whirlpool, passing through a desolate hill and even an abandoned city.
Countless monsters of all shapes and sizes loomed in space.
Suddenly, a one-eyed giant holding an enormous staff could be seen fleeing desperate.
Before Gu Qing Shan could even look to see what was chasing it, the force has pulled him up and away from that place.
After a long flight, he arrived at the same desolate world.
A bronze pillar that connected heaven and earth.
A giant corpse wearing black armor, pinned on the bronze pillar.
Countless black skeletons standing blankly in the vast empty land.
Gu Qing Shan slowly floated in front of the giant corpse.
“You’ve come” a voice called out.
“I did, long time no see. How is your wound?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Not enough to die, or better said, I’m already dead, this type of pain can only torture me for a while, not thoroughly kill me off” the giant corpse replied.
“Regarding last time, I have to thank you, I was able to save a very important person to me” Gu Qing Shan told him.
“What? You really did it?” the corpse was shocked.
It was obviously intrigued.
“You managed to wrestle a person out of destiny’s grasp, destiny must have also put you through an unimaginable ordeal as revenge. Can you tell me what you went through?”
“Of course” Gu Qing Shan answered.
He then retold what he’s been through up until now.
“How interesting, so you said you’re going to replace that Zishan young master to return to an ending world” the giant corpse commented.
“That’s right, but it doesn’t seem like that’s the end of it” Gu Qing Shan bitterly said.
“What else is there?”
“Just look at me now, I’m now in a dead state with my soul escaped from my body trying to find Huang Quan, but could only wander in the space vortex without finding anything”
Hearing that, the giant corpse snickered in a low voice.
“From what I can tell from what you said, destiny’s vengeance hasn’t ended yet. Do you regret saving that person?”
Gu Qing Shan spoke determined: “I don’t regret it at all”
The giant corpse praised: “Very good, come, let me see your state right now”
An abrupt wind then pushed Gu Qing Shan’s soul form forward.
“How fast, you’re almost at Ascended realm late stage already, you’re still very weak, but this speed of growth is incredible”
“Hm, so you chose to cultivate the sword… and you’re already a sword saint, very good, very good, I know I didn’t choose the wrong person”
The giant corpse solemnly commented: “Your growth is fast and your potential is great, I’ll be needing your help quite soon”
“Just ask, I’ll help you” Gu Qing Shan said.
“There might be a bit of danger”
Gu Qing Shan smiled: “Sometimes, even without doing anything, life is dangerous. The most important thing is that you helped me, and I’ll never forget that”
The giant corpse was even more pleased when it felt his attitude.
“Good, the next time you breakthrough to a higher realm, I’ll summon you here again”
“No problem”
The giant corpse stopped for a bit, then asked from concern: “Arbitrarily leaving your flesh behind is very dangerous, why do you have to go to Huang Quan?”
Gu Qing Shan then told it about what happened in Reality and asked: “Regarding Huang Quan, do you know anything about it?”
The giant corpse was silent for a while, apparently finding it hard to tell him.
It considered its words carefully: “The thing called Six Paths of Reincarnation refers to 6 worlds that form a harmonic cycle, so there should be a corresponding Huang Quan realm to the human realm where you are from.”
“What about other human realms?”
“Naturally there would also be other Huang Quan realms that correspond to other human realms, but there are some human realms that are very highly ranked, and thus their Huang Quan would also be unbelievably strong”
“If it’s as you said, the Huang Quan that corresponds to my human realm shouldn’t be too strong?”
The giant corpse couldn’t say clearly and only told him: “You should go see it yourself, sometimes the situation is completely different and will turn your common sense on its head”
“But realistically, I don’t recommend that you go to Huang Quan”
The giant corpse continued: “Something extremely terrifying must’ve happened to be able to drive an entire Huang Quan realm to chaos”
“With your current cultivation, you wouldn’t be able to do anything against such danger, I recommend that you give up on your world”
“As long as there’s hope, I have to try, otherwise my Dao heart will go astray and I will become useless” Gu Qing Shan answered.
“Is that world so important to you?”
“The world itself is nothing, but there are a lot of people that are important to me in that world, and I don’t want to make them drift around in space”
The giant corpse went silent for a long time.
It then abruptly spoke up full of emotions: “Life is unexpected, just like how I never thought I would reach such an end, and you’re my only hope right now”
“If you weren’t such a person, you wouldn’t be worth me putting my hope on you as well”
Saying that, the giant corpse then sighed.
“Alright! Let me think about this carefully…”
After much contemplation, it seems to have decided.
“Because of how excellent you are in both mentality and abilities, I originally wanted to hide you away for a while longer”
“It’s still too soon for you to touch upon a few special existences”
“The best choice now would be for me to bestow ‘that’ to you”
A small, unassuming piece of scale detached itself from the giant corpse’s black armor.
This scale flew directly in front of Gu Qing Shan.
“What is this?” Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
“I’ve fought in too many worlds to count, having been through to many victories, I don’t simply rely on brute strength alone, but also a few means to protect my life”
“And this is one of those means, take it and learn it well”
“Is that so?” Gu Qing Shan received the black scale.
The outer layer of the scale peeled off to reveal a shining cryptic rune.
“Countless eons ago, when I was still weak, I found this in a certain ancient ruin”
“It has helped me greatly too many times to count”
“I’ve completely mastered it, and now I’ll pass it on to you. Make sure to learn it well”
“If you decide to go to Huang Quan no matter what, this technique might be useful for you”
Gu Qing Shan seriously listened before looking down at the cryptic rune.
A line of glowing text was flashing on the War God UI.
