"What's this turtle shell used for?"
"It can be used for divination, or as a defensive treasure tool"
"How many spirit stones?"
"100,000, it's yours"
"That's too expensive, your turtle shell can only be used for divination, we're both people of status here, who would use a turtle shell for defense?"
"Ninety-five thousand, no less."
"93,000 at most, I'll buy it"
"Deal"
The two cultivators exchanged the turtle shell and spirit stones, both happy.
Gu Qing Shan looked at this thoughtfully.
He just arrived not too long ago.
The surroundings were a boiling cauldron of voices and cultivators haggling over prices everywhere.
It was extremely lively.
— — -so the {Mahesvara King} realm Tribulation is for business?
As Gu Qing Shan's gaze swept through the entire open-air market, his expression turned serious.
In this market in the middle of nowhere, every cultivator here was a {Yama King} realm peak cultivator, each of them exuding spirit energy waves of the same level.
In other words, everyone here was a {Yama King} realm cultivator who came to face their Tribulation.
A {Yama King} realm cultivator could already be considered a decent cultivation.
No wonder the man just now said 'we're both people of status here' when haggling.
Gu Qing Shan slowly walked through the market.
No one paid any attention to him.
Occasionally, a few female cultivators would look at him, but it was only a glance.
After all, his face had been slightly modified by the Super Dimensional weapon to become a lot more handsome.
In the words of the Super Dimensional weapon, his current appearance was more feminine and feminine, easily attracting the attention of women.
— — -this was a completely different style from how Gu Qing Shan originally looked.
Even the tone of his voice changed slightly.
At the time, to avoid being recognized by the enemy, Gu Qing Shan agreed to the plastic surgery.
As Gu Qing Shan walked around the market, he suddenly had a thought.
— — -none of these cultivators were from the 900 million World Layers of the void.
According to the concept of the world, the space vortex was actually a 'barrier outside of the world', while these people came from the real world.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped.
He had a deep understanding of one thing.
— — -cultivators were able to interact with people from different parallel worlds.
Due to the existence of the Tribulation, they were able to surpass Space-Time and meet each other from different worlds.
For example, the Yama Heavenly Tribulation.
Another example was the current {Mahesvara King} Tribulation.
So what exactly was the Heavenly Tribulation this time?
— — wasn't it supposed to be linked with the Sumeru Mountain Tribulation?
Gu Qing Shan's expression did not change. She just walked aimlessly in the market, occasionally glancing at the stalls.
There were people selling talismans, weapons and armors, pill furnaces and pills, spirit herbs and immortal fruits, food ingredients, and Dao techniques. It was truly dazzling.
The cultivators coming and going almost blocked the road.
Sometimes, it was inevitable that they would get too close to each other. In order to prevent the other party from making the wrong judgment, everyone would release their Spiritual Power Shields and gently touch each other's Spiritual Power Shields. Then, they would borrow the force to move away.
It was a scene of modesty and harmony.
Gu Qing Shan nodded slightly. This was actually understandable. After all, their realms were similar, and they didn't know each other. If they really fought, no one would know who would win.
Gu Qing Shan stopped in front of a stall.
"Fellow Daoist, what kind of information would you like to see?" the cultivator asked.
"Heaven's Tribulation" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The cultivator chuckled and said: "At our level, we naturally know that the information regarding every Heaven's Tribulation is extremely confidential, we can't simply talk about it"
Gu Qing Shan didn't know anything.
"How much are you selling it here?" He asked with an impatient expression on his face, then glanced at another stall selling jade tags.
The cultivator didn't put on any airs and held up a jade tag with two fingers: "Information regarding this time's {Mahesvara King} Tribulation, 10,000 spirit stones"
"10,000?" Gu Qing Shan appeared surprised and asked: "Why don't you just rob a bank?"
After walking around just now, he already knew the value of this piece of information.
The cultivator showed the jade tag in front of Gu Qing Shan and sincerely said: "This is a special edition, I have more information than anyone else"
He silently sent his voice: "I have information regarding the Sumeru Mountain Tribulation here, this alone is worth 6,000 spirit stones"
"Is that so? You're not lying? "Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
The cultivator patted his chest: "I guarantee that it's original content, all of it is a collection that can only be read with a fee, it's definitely not a copy of someone else's work — — if you don't believe me, you can buy it and see if you think it's worth it"
Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded.
If the other party said that, he felt that this piece of information was worth it.
"Deal"
Gu Qing Shan paid the spirit stones.
The spirit stones he had were the same as the pocket money Shifu gave him back at Bai Hua sect, as well as the monthly allowance he received from Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace.
In truth, he had been keeping these spirit stones for a very long time, as he hadn't used this currency for a very long time.
Fortunately, spirit stones seemed to be universal in every cultivation world. After receiving the spirit stones, the cultivator quickly gave him the jade tag.
The cultivator received the spirit stones, gave him the jade tag, and said: "You can read it here, I guarantee you won't lose anything!"
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
So confident?
He stood still and infused his inner sight into the jade tag.
A large amount of information appeared in his Thought Sea.
This was Heaven Pillar world.
This was where the {Mahesvara King} realm Tribulation and Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation would begin.
The {Mahesvara King} realm Tribulation would begin once every 1000 years.
All cultivators who faced this Heaven Tribulation within 1000 years would be able to bypass the limit of Space-Time and directly appear in Heaven Pillar world.
Gu Qing Shan's current location was in the wilderness not too far away from the main city of Heaven Pillar world.
All cultivators who faced the {Mahesvara King} realm Tribulation had to go to the main city of Heaven Pillar world and wait for a cultivator to face their Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation.
The cultivators would become that cultivator's subordinates, be led and escorted to the summit of Sumeru Lord realm, where they would face their Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation.
Once that cultivator successfully faced their Tribulation and became a true Sumeru Lord realm cultivator, the other cultivators who successfully escorted him to the summit of Sumeru Lord realm would also complete their {Mahesvara King} realm Tribulation.
They would become {Mahesvara King} realm cultivators.
— — -which means, this was indeed a combination of the {Mahesvara King} realm Tribulation and the Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation.
This was actually the most dangerous Tribulation a cultivator had ever faced in their cultivation lives.
And there was an even more serious problem.
— — -the Heaven-pillar connecting Heaven Pillar world and Sumeru Lord realm had been broken.
The various Tribulations on the way had become even more unpredictable and unpredictable.
There had already been 5 cultivators who faced their Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation in a row, only to die while climbing Sumeru Lord realm.
The cultivators who escorted him were also mostly dead.
In just a cup of tea's worth of time, Gu Qing Shan had finished reading through the relevant detailed information.
His heart was heavy, but his expression was calm as he nodded and told the cultivator: "Your information is indeed worth this price"
The cultivator then smiled and loudly declared: "Indeed, our business has always been fair and honest, this is the only way for us to have repeat customers"
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight, scanned through the bustling market, and scanned through a certain direction.
Sure enough, he saw a city.
Heaven Pillar city.
In this city, a gigantic stone pillar reached all the way to the sky, but was cut in half by the clouds.
This was the Pillar of Heaven.
According to the jade tag, a long time ago, it was able to connect heaven and earth, all the way to the summit of Sumeru Lord realm.
No one knew why it was cut in half.
While Gu Qing Shan was looking at it, he noticed something.
In the blink of an eye, the entire market abruptly disappeared, all the cultivators disappeared as well. The bustling market returned to silence.
Three swords abruptly appeared from the void of space.
Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan wielded the twin swords Heaven and Earth to protect himself.
All the spirit energy fluctuations disappeared.
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Cold wind blew across the barren land, howling shrilly.
Gu Qing Shan wielded the twin swords and slowly took a few steps forward.
His entire being was in battle mode.
What exactly … happened?
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to scan his surroundings.
— — -there was nothing.
Those people seemed to have evaporated in the blink of an eye.
In this barren land, aside from the sand and rocks, there was nothing but wild grass on the ground.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the numerous footprints on the ground, as well as the marks left by the stalls on the ground, and became even more doubtful.
Those cultivators were clearly here just now.
Their belongings were also here.
How did they suddenly disappear?
Gu Qing Shan's back was soaked in cold sweat.
All of a sudden, he regained his senses and hurriedly reached for his Inventory Bag, only to find nothing.
Gu Qing Shan froze.
His storage pouch was stolen.
— — I'm a sword cultivator, yet someone managed to steal my Inventory Bag without me noticing.
This person's strength is truly terrifying!
If that's the case, if this person wanted to kill me …
No.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head without any hesitation.
My spirit sense couldn't detect anything at all.
Even the Soul Shrieker wouldn't be able to kill me without me noticing.
Most likely, this is some sort of ability specifically designed for theft.
He stood still for a few moments, recalling everything that happened after he entered the market. Suddenly, a certain scene appeared in his mind.
The cultivator who sold the information received the spirit stones and put the jade tag in his hand.
If someone wanted to steal something, the only person who came into close contact with me is the cultivator who sold the information.
He's the most suspicious.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan recalled something else.
He scowled and muttered to himself: "This feeling … seems very familiar …"
At the same time.
Heaven Pillar city.
Inside a luxurious palace.
A certain little girl who looked like she was carved out of jade was holding Gu Qing Shan's Inventory Bag and lightly rubbing it with her hand.
The inner sight lock on the Inventory Bag was instantly released.
The little girl began to count the spoils of war.
"A bunch of cooking utensils …"
"Spirit stones"
"Strange, why aren't there any cultivation inheritances?"
"… There are quite a few Technological items, but unfortunately, they're useless in our world"
The little girl's immature voice resounded one after another, then suddenly stopped.
She was holding a big white brick in her hand with great difficulty.
The little girl's expression became serious.
Although she was serious, she only looked cute — — after all, she was still too young.
"This is Xiao Lou's super-sized jade tag … I remember he said he gave it to Gu Qing Shan …"
