Chapter 900: Learning
Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9
Deep in the night.
Gu Qing Shan and Shannu were walking along the stream, heading for the red brick house.
They ran into some people on the way who were all ecstatic to see Shannu and begged Shannu to show them the way towards their destinations.
Shannu didn’t think too much of it and showed them what they wanted.
But as this continued, they were heavily delayed.
In order to prevent the people from recognizing her as the Old Guide, Shannu temporarily returned to her original appearance.
Unfortunately, while no one asked her for directions any longer, this caused a different kind of issue.
“Hey there, little lady, what’s a beauty like you doing following a weakling like him?”
“That’s right, pretty girl, come and have fun with us”
“Hek hek, the two of you are probably a couple, so if you don’t want him to die, come quietly with us”
Several burly men stood on the side of the stream and gazed at them with open malicious intentions.
Shannu glanced at Gu Qing Shan.
“Kill them” Gu Qing Shan casually said.
“Yes, gongzi”
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword turned into a blurred image and flashed briefly in the night sky.
[Swallow Returns]!
[Silver Star]!
[Crescent Slash]!
[Drawn Shadow]
Shannu reappeared with the sword in her hand about 10 feet away, lightly landing on top of the stream.
Behind her, the light-blue sword phantoms flashed and bloomed in the shroud of night.
Before those men could even react, all their limbs had already been chopped off and left to soak in the water.
It was only now that they began to scream in despair and horror.
Gu Qing Shan walked past them towards Shannu without changing his expression.
“Why not kill them right away?” he asked.
Shannu replied: “To give them some time to wake up”
Gu Qing Shan nodded and said nothing else.
The two of them continued heading towards the red brick house, leaving the desperate screams and cries behind them that were slowly becoming weaker until they couldn’t be heard any longer.
After an undetermined amount of time, Shannu hesitated a bit and spoke up: “Gongzi, this world isn’t very large, so my inner sight was able to completely cover it”
Knowing that she still had something to say, Gu Qing Shan asked: “And so?”
“I noticed a lot of injustice” Shannu replied.
“Ah? What kind of injustice?”
“For example... what happened just now, as well as bullying and enslavement”
“Go on”
“Since I can see them, I don’t want to ignore them”
“Hm”
Shannu turned to look at him: “...Gongzi, what did that ‘hm’ mean?”
“Kill them all”
Gu Qing Shan replied as he thought about the star chart.
On the star chart, the Gemini star was only the first destination, Gu Qing Shan would have to begin here and travel through many mysterious hidden worlds before he made it back to the 900 million World Layers.
——the star chart was something that the Earth Creator prepared in advance.
This great entity had the ability to foresee parts of the future, so something it prepared must surely be filled with hidden implications.
Fortunately, this Great One is on my side.
A flash of light appeared by the stream and caught Gu Qing Shan’s attention, making him temporarily forget his thoughts just now.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword flew in from afar and landed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
“Gongzi, I’ve killed them all”
Shannu’s voice emerged from the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
Gu Qing Shan held the sword and plunged it deep into the flowing stream below.
The blood on it was washed away.
Once again, the sword became shining clear like the water of autumn.
Shannu then appeared and spoke happily: “Gongzi, I noticed something”
“What is it?”
“What if we simply stay on the Gemini star? Since everyone’s powers are sealed here, with me watching over gongzi, there wouldn’t be any issues in this world”
Gu Qing Shan laughed: “We can’t be a turtle that hides within its own shell, what if someone destroys this world?”
As soon as he said that, a certain thought crossed his mind.
A turtle that hides...
When I travelled from Bai Hua hall to the Justice Iron Fist Club, then from the Justice Iron Fist Club to the Primordial Heaven Realm, I met a Spirit Tortoise.
It was the Spirit Tortoise who brought me into the phantom images.
Unfortunately, the Spirit Tortoise couldn’t enter the true Age of Old with me.
I wonder how that fellow who had lived for several ten thousand years is faring now.
Hearing Gu Qing Shan’s words, Shannu froze.
That’s right, even a powerful entity like the Earth Creator got caught in a mishap, let alone a non-sentient world like this.
Shannu said dejectedly: “Then it looks like gongzi will be busy for a while again”
“It’s ok, living has never been easy, the Apocalypse only made this become more urgent. Furthermore, becoming stronger had always been necessary, after the Apocalypse, when everything is finally over, we’ll be able to look for a place to rest ourselves for a few hundred years”
“Yes, I do hope that such a day would arrive”
...
Following the star chart’s direction, Gu Qing Shan and Shannu made it to the red brick house.
They easily found that crucial item inside one of the rooms——–
A wooden doll.
With this wooden doll in tow, the two of them walked along the stream to the end and sure enough they found an empty well.
Standing in front of the well, Gu Qing Shan asked: “Where is the Abyssal Fate Weaver?”
“She’s resting by the stream about 400 miles away”
Shannu released her inner sight to check and reported to him.
“Alright, let’s go then”
Gu Qing Shan and Shannu jumped into the empty well, broke through the wall and found a treasure room.
All the treasures had already been taken from this room, leaving only a few stone chests here.
Although this was nothing but a cover, there had never been any treasures here in the first place.
The true meaning of this place was to act as a way to travel to a certain hidden world.
Gu Qing Shan began from the left and stopped at the 5th chest.
Yes, it was this one.
But only one person can fit into this chest at a time.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at Shannu.
Shannu obediently turned into a sword for Gu Qing Shan to hand at his waist.
Gu Qing Shan jumped inside, closed the chest and took out the doll.
The doll didn’t move at first, then it began to speak:
[Ah? I was awoken again]
The doll looked around and spoke with disbelief: [After so many years, someone was actually able to find this hidden path that led to the world of the elemental fairies]
Gu Qing Shan said: “Sorry to bother you, please bring me there”
[Are you going to return here?]
“I will”
The doll nodded, took off its own leg and put it into Gu Qing Shan’s hand.
[When you want to return from the elemental fairy world, pinch that leg]
“Yes”
The doll jumped down from Gu Qing Shan’s hand and landed inside the chest.
It knocked on a certain part of the chest.
Some sort of hidden mechanism seemed to have activated as the chest began to shake uncontrollably.
A shroud of light enveloped the entire chest.
Gu Qing Shan felt an intense force acting on him and pulled his body straight into the void of space.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished from this world.
...
At another location.
400 miles away.
The tall slender woman was sitting cross-legged on top of a large tree, silently thinking about what happened today.
...
“You want to repay me? Then give me the twin swords”
“I can’t give you my swords, but I can use them to help you”
...
Damn it, it was because I was too gullible that I was abandoned in the Abyss and turned into this abomination.
I can’t trust the lies of humans ever again.
The tall slender woman clenched her fists.
...
At the same time.
On another side.
Within the Primordial Heaven Realm of this era.
A figure silently appeared.
This figure seemed to be very acquainted with this place as they glanced around briefly before flying straight towards the mountain in the sky.
A few moments later.
The Spirit Tortoise’s voice resounded:
「 Why have you come here? Everything in this world has already come to an end, chaotic energies are littered everywhere. It is very dangerous for you to stay here 」
“You can recognize me?” a childish female voice asked.
「 Of course, although your state has been altered by some sort of technique, I can still infer your identity 」the Spirit Tortoise replied.
In front of it stood a doll-like precious little girl.
She had an exquisite aura that didn’t suit her age and wore a somber expression that seemed more cute than it was solemn.
“Recently, I had a strange feeling, so I performed a Divination——– only to find that the Primordial Heaven Realm had undergone some sort of great change. And yet this great change did not affect history in any realistic shape or form”
“This was an unbelievable occurrence, because no matter who it is, if they tried to change the past, they would be erased by the combined weight of historical momentum and the Laws of Space-Time. And yet history had clearly been changed, and at the same time, everything that happened in the current timeline was exactly how it was supposed to be without going through any changes at all”
“That is why I had to come here——– after all, our Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace’s old teachings still rests in this place”
Xie Dao Ling replied seriously.
The Spirit Tortoise appeared emotional and sighed as it slowly explained: 「 This was quite a long story. In truth, it was the sect master who succeeded you that traveled back in time and returned to the past 」
“What!?”
