Chapter 555 - A sudden meeting

Chapter 555: A sudden meeting

Translated by: La0o9

Proofreader: Arya

A thin layer of frozen ice that was glowing dark blue.

Intense chill transmitted from below Gu Qing Shan’s feet.

Spirit energy wasn’t able to resist this chill, the same as when he was at the ice mountain of the Gods.

Gu Qing Shan crouched down to take a closer look.

A vast and endless ocean.

A thin but borderless layer of ice.

How do I get through this and enter the world below?

Gu Qing Shan tried knocking on the ice.

It didn’t move at all.

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and tried punching the ice.

The piece of ice where he struck released a faint golden light.

Mystical runes started to appear around the ice layer, spreading all around.

In an instant more golden runes appeared.

A dangerous presence filled the air.

Two lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI.

[Divinity: World’s Forbidden Divine Law is about to activate]

[Please cease any attacks, otherwise you will immediately be disintegrated]

Gu Qing Shan felt goosebumps all over.

Remembering what happened to the Dead Soul Demon King, Gu Qing Shan hurriedly pulled his hand back and used presence concealment to hide himself.

Without a source of threat, the golden light stopped expanding.

After a while, the light faded.

Gu Qing Shan finally sighed in relief.

“It seems this is a protective measure set up by the Old Gods to prevent outside invasion” Laura commented.

“I also think so” Gu Qing Shan agreed.

In his vision, the War God UI showed a few more lines of glowing text.

[You’ve found a completely new world, to find out this world’s secret, please keep on working hard]

[Notice: As this is a completely untouched and unrecorded world, the War God System doesn’t know the exact situation inside either]

[You must think of a method to go inside and collect the corresponding intel]

Gu Qing Shan shook his head after reading through everything.

Since this place is a civilization left behind by the Gods, and the Chao Yin sword was also forged by the Gods…

He pointed the Chao Yin sword and tried using [Even a sea of suffering shall pass] on the ice.

Just like the sea water, the ice also parted to make way for them.

An opening just enough for Gu Qing Shan and Laura to go through appeared on the layer of ice.

Laura was surprised to see this.

From where they were standing, above them was an endless ocean, while below was a layer of ice filled with divinity.

But before Gu Qing Shan’s sword, both the vast ocean water and the layer of ice gave way without a thought.

Laura stared at Gu Qing Shan’s sword with glittering eyes, unable to move them away.

A weapon that could control the Old God’s barrier must be something forged by the Old Gods themselves.

What a stylish sword.

I would definitely look awesome holding it.

“Your sword looks really useful, do you want to exchange it for something else with me?” Laura tried a negotiating tone.

“This isn’t for sale, to me swords are a part of my own body” Gu Qing Shan explained.

“I can show you a few Divine Armaments to choose from, won’t you consider it?”

“I’m not exchanging it, if someone else had asked me, I would’ve beat some sense into them” Gu Qing Shan lightly flicked Laura’s forehead and smiled.

If anybody else wanted his swords, he would’ve slashed them on the spot.

But Laura was only a little girl, she wasn’t greedy for them and probably felt that it was a nice toy to have.

Not to mention, she didn’t know what a sword meant to a sword cultivator, and Gu Qing Shan didn’t want to scold a child for not knowing something.

“Fine, stingy”

Laura held her forehead and pouted.

They entered through the opening.

They were now in a lost world of the Old Gods.

Far in the sky.

There wasn’t any strong wind blowing here.

It was silent all around.

Under the vast sky, various cities could be seen slightly apart from each other.

The cities gave off a faint blue light, as if they were created from ice, but not a single bit of chill could be felt.

Gu Qing Shan swung his sword and canceled [Even a sea of suffering shall pass]

The ice layer behind him closed up.

Laura hid inside Gu Qing Shan’s chest and took out a black cloth to cover her eyes.

“Can we go down a bit faster? I’m a bit scared of being so high up”

“You’ve become calmer than before”

“An adult always has the hardship of daily life to face, what choice do I have?”

“Fine, fine” Gu Qing Shan said with a slight chuckle, “I’ll land quickly”

He chose the closest city, moved his body and flew downwards in full speed.

He was going really fast, occasionally using [Ground Shrink] during flight to traverse over long distances.

In just a few moments, Gu Qing Shan gently landed.

“We’re here” Gu Qing Shan took a look around and told her.

“Ah? That quickly?” Laura was in disbelief.

As she peeled the cloth from her eyes, Laura gave a sigh of relief: “It’s good to finally touch the ground again”

She jumped down from Gu Qing Shan’s chest, landing on her feet.

The ground here was firm and thick, although it was giving off a faint blue color.

Looking around, they found that the city wasn’t actually created from pure ice.

The blue glow they saw from the sky was a lapis-like material, most of the buildings were made from this, which was why they were glowing.

Gu Qing Shan chose a particularly secluded spot to land, almost right at the outer rim of the city, and it was now midnight, so it was extremely silent around here.

Because the environment was foreign, and he already activated the Old God’s defense mechanisms by mistake once before, Gu Qing Shan was being careful, not releasing his inner sight to cover the entire city.

Laura looked around.

Hm…

Not far from where they were, a male and a female were together, hugging each other tight.

They both looked very young with human-like appearance, the only difference being their faint blue skin.

Laura hurriedly turned away and apologized: “I am sorry, we have bothered you, excuse us”

Gu Qing Shan stood still without moving.

He had already noticed these two before Laura. At first he wanted to try communicating with them, but now that wasn’t necessary anymore.

Gu Qing Shan silently pulled Laura closer.

At the same time, his three flying swords appeared from the void of space behind him, ready to strike.

“What is it?”

Seeing him like that, Laura also became anxious.

“They’re dead” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Dead?”

Laura froze, then tried carefully looking at the couple.

The two of them were hugging each other close with a look of fear and desperation in their faces.

Obviously, they knew what was about to happen to them before their deaths.

“Something… feels wrong”

Gu Qing Shan scowled and commented.

He felt a heavy pressure approaching with his spirit sense.

In the past, this type of pressure on his spirit sense would only appear if it was before an important military campaign, or when he was in a desperate situation of life and death.

Staring at the hugging corpses, Gu Qing Shan felt more and more cautious.

Not good——

He tapped his Inventory Bag without hesitation, taking out a formation plate.

This was a top-level formation plate from Guang Yang sect of the Suspended world, taken from Wang Hong Dao’s secret stash.

His greatest gains from the Suspended world all came from the secret room of Guang Yang sect.

Of course, there was also his level of expertise in using formations.

To create the Two-world warp formation and escape that world, Gu Qing Shan had learnt all there was to learn about formations.

With Gu Qing Shan’s current level, this formation was exactly the thing he needed to show his expertise.

His hands quickly moved around the formation plate, arranging a common defensive formation in the area several dozen meters around them.

Right after that, he arranged more defensive formations, including anti-demon beasts, anti-demons, anti-flying swords, anti-spell, anti-thaumaturgy and anti-ghost.

He put up every single top-level defensive formation he learnt in the Suspended world.

Besides the concealment formation, every layer of formation would glow with light briefly right after they were set up and then slowly fade.

Under Gu Qing Shan’s careful manipulation, the light shined on the formation plate like will-o-wisps, illuminating the entire area.

“Isn’t that a bit too eye-catching, we might attract attention” Laura spoke in a low voice.

“I originally wanted to slowly explore this world” Gu Qing Shan’s hands didn’t stop as he smiled bitterly: “But now we need to worry about our lives first before anything else”

Laura was shocked.

She stared at Gu Qing Shan’s movements, noticing a sense of unease in his voice.

Finally, the formations were finished being set up.

Gu Qing Shan stood in the middle of all the formations as he silently felt around.

At a certain point, he suddenly turned to look at a section of space 20 meters from where he was.

That was the innermost layer of formation, specifically set up to counter ghosts and revenants.

“Who’s there?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

A cold breeze blew.

No one answered him.

The anti-ghost formation was giving off intense light.

This meant that it was being heavily pushed again.

Something was trying to break through the formation and get inside!

“What is that thing!?” Laura exclaimed in fear.

From the void of space, a large fiendish face appeared.

Its entire head was as big as a 5-story building, heavily pressing against the anti-ghost formation, wanting to get in.

Through the formation, Gu Qing Shan could see the long strands of green hair on its head, sharp fangs and its facial bones carved full of runes.

This ghost opened its eyes wide, staring at Gu Qing Shan.

Cri-rak!

In that instant, the anti-ghost formation broke.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyebrows twitched as he quickly operated the formation plate with both hands.

Clack clack clack!

In a split second, he had set up another three layers of anti-ghost formations.

Even so, Gu Qing Shan’s hands didn’t stop at all, he continued setting up more formations.

This is very strange.

All the other formations didn’t react at all, only the anti-ghost formation managed to stop it briefly.

Since that was the case, Gu Qing Shan put up a total of 36 anti-ghost formations at once!

As soon as the monster broke through the first layer, it wanted to rush in, but then got blocked by another newly formed formation.

The ghost became furious.

It stretched its jaws and began to rip apart the anti-ghost formation.
