The Pillar To Heaven.
There was a flight of stairs on top of the pillar that reached all the way to the clouds.
According to ancient legends, whenever someone tried to climb this flight of stairs, the entire Heaven Pillar world would experience supernatural phenomena, heavenly music would play, and countless deities would come to witness this.
That was a very long time ago.
But now, never mind the deities, even the Pillar To Heaven had been broken.
What followed was a fact that caused the cultivators to feel despair — — -
The number of cultivators who could successfully advance to Sumeru Lord realm was becoming fewer and fewer.
In the last few thousand years, the number of cultivators who managed to become Sumeru Lord realm was zero.
The era of cultivators seemed to have entered a gradual decline.
Under the shroud of night.
Xie Dao Ling led the 11 cultivators to fly from the ground to the sky, following the broken Pillar To Heaven upwards.
Not too long after, the cultivators saw a lake above the sea of clouds.
The water of the lake reflected the clouds and sky, vast and boundless, without end in sight.
Xie Dao Ling didn't say anything, only formed a hand seal and flew into the lake first.
The others quickly followed.
The cultivators fell into the lake and continued to descend until the light around them became dimmer and dimmer.
Finally, the lake was completely dark, so dark that they couldn't see anything at all.
A faint glimmer of light flickered.
This glimmer was almost undetectable, but the cultivators had already released their inner sight to search for it.
"That direction" Young Tortoise immediately called out.
Xie Dao Ling's body moved and led the group towards the glimmer.
A few moments later, the darkness around them turned bright.
The light shone through the surface of the water, creating a ripple of light.
The lake water became clearer and clearer.
The group leapt out of the water.
The lake was vast and boundless, there was no wind or mist around, not a single thing could be seen in the sky.
Everyone looked at Xie Dao Ling with complicated expressions and a bit of anxiety.
No one knew what would happen to them next.
Indeed, to be able to cultivate to their current realm, they were all Combatants with firm minds, great willpower, and great awareness.
But no one had ever successfully faced their Tribulation in the last few thousand years.
Anyone in their position would be doubtful.
Especially in the last few hundred years, very few people were willing to face the {Mahesvara King} realm Tribulation anymore.
This was because the people who came were basically all dead and gone.
Only a few lucky ones were able to regress their realm and return with their lives.
Even so, he had to recuperate for hundreds of years before he could gradually recover.
— — Gu Qing Shan had used the most advanced Realm Reversion Technique, which was why she was only lightly wounded.
The technique to reverse one's cultivation level came from a broken cultivation world and was long lost.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Qing Shan was the inheritor of the World Sacrifice and could communicate with the will of the World Fragment, she probably wouldn't have been able to obtain this technique.
In addition, Gu Qing Shan also had the power of the Magic Dragon.
After retreating for a while, he immediately released the enormous power of the Magic Dragon, allowing himself to return to his peak state before entering the Heavenly Tribulation again.
"The Immortal Lake of Inversion has passed, Sect Master Xie" a cultivator reminded him in a small voice.
Xie Dao Ling nodded.
She looked in a certain direction and couldn't help sizing it up.
"What a brilliant Lapis Lazuli mountain" Xie Dao Ling sighed.
Everyone looked over, but they saw nothing.
Sumeru Mountain was a mountain of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, only great cultivators who faced their Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation could see it.
A cultivator praised: "Seeing Sumeru Mountain with one's eyes, from now on, immortals and mortals will be separated, I wonder when we'll be able to reach this step"
Everyone went silent.
The Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation and the {Mahesvara King} realm Tribulation were linked.
If no cultivator could break through the Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation, then no one could break through the {Mahesvara King} realm Tribulation and become a {Mahesvara King} realm Tribulation.
Xie Dao Ling watched for a while without saying anything.
The water of the lake began to boil.
A gigantic creature was quickly swimming through the lake, approaching them from afar.
A few moments later.
A monster crawled out from the water.
It was 5-stories tall, with a lion head, antlers, and dragon scales all over its body. As soon as it appeared, someone exclaimed in shock: "A Qilin!"
The Qilin was an Ancient Divine Beast that had already gone extinct in the infinite worlds.
Everyone remained cautious while greedily looking at the Qilin's appearance.
— — -this was a legendary Divine Beast!
The Qilin looked at Xie Dao Ling and spoke in human language: "Who is facing the Tribulation?"
"Bai Hua sect, Xie Dao Ling"
"Very well, follow me into the Lapis Lazuli world"
"Wait"
The Qilin stopped and asked again: "Is there something else? Do you want to regress your cultivation and give up on this Tribulation? "
"That is not the case" Xie Dao Ling casually replied, "I still need to wait for another person to arrive before I can face the Tribulation"
"Who are you waiting for?"
"My disciple, Gu Qing Shan"
…
At another location.
Gu Qing Shan returned to Heaven Pillar world, flew through the wilderness, and returned to the city wall.
"Ah — –" he sighed deeply.
"Ah — –" the Earth sword let out a heavy 'wu wu' sound.
"What?"
Luo Bingli doubtfully asked.
Neither man nor sword answered.
Luo Bingli could only follow their gazes.
On the city wall, a beautiful bird was sitting on the roof of a building, inadvertently looking at them.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly clasped her fist towards the bird: "Shifu, I have some personal matters to attend to, I originally didn't want to disturb your Tribulation"
The bird squinted its eyes and asked: "Who bullied you?"
"It's not that kind of thing" Gu Qing Shan slowly replied, "Someone was bored out of his mind and came to provoke me … I just showed him the road to Huang Quan"
The bird's presence faded and sighed: "That is how our Bai Hua sect should be, if Xiao Lou could be like you, I would be assured"
"I'll talk to him later" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Are you still coming to face the Tribulation this time?" the bird asked.
Gu Qing Shan awkwardly replied: "Ah, I still have some loose ends to take care of … how about you go first, Shifu, I'll be right there"
"Do you want Shifu to help you with your own matters?" the bird asked.
"No need, I'll be done very quickly" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Hm, I'll wait for you"
After saying so, the bird disappeared.
— — this clone had returned to Xie Dao Ling's side.
Gu Qing Shan stood still, shielding her eyes with her hand as she looked up at the sky.
"They should be here soon … hm, they aren't as fast as the Azure Dragon, but they should be able to get through"
While she spoke, several dozen black dots appeared in the sky.
Boom!
The black dots all descended, completely surrounding the section of the city wall where Gu Qing Shan was.
— — Abyssal monsters.
These ferocious monsters were fully armed, exuding a terrifying presence.
One of the monsters spoke with a low, muffled voice: "Please take a look, master of [Order]"
The dozens of monsters raised their hands at the same time, giving off a grey glow.
This glow manifested into strings in the air, forming a cage.
Inside the cage, a blue-clothed man was covered in wounds, his hands and feet bound by the grey glow, unable to move at all.
The Azure Dragon.
He was already at the brink of death, his life like a candle in the wind, about to go out at any moment.
Even so, as soon as he saw Gu Qing Shan, he began to struggle intensely.
"You thief! You're too treacherous! You're not a true warrior! "
"You're even more of a wraith than a wraith!"
"The Wraith realm will definitely cut you to pieces!"
The Azure Dragon roared in frenzy.
He had never felt so aggrieved before.
Gu Qing Shan tilted his head in thought, then replied: "That's not true"
The Azure Dragon froze.
"What did you say?"
Despite his rage, he couldn't help but ask.
Gu Qing Shan raised a finger and replied: "If you think I'm even more of a wraith than a wraith, then how can the Wraith realm cut me to pieces?"
The Azure Dragon coldly spoke: "Brat, with your meager strength, don't — — -"
Gu Qing Shan cut him off: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry"
Strands of black aura exuded from his body and entered the cage.
The power of Magic Dragon's bloodline.
With the help of the Living Being Sacrificial Dance, Gu Qing Shan had gained full control of Magic Dragon's power, so she was naturally able to use this unique power.
The Azure Dragon was slowly being corroded by the power of Magic Dragon's bloodline.
"This is … such power!"
He knelt on the ground, trembling as he received the power of Magic Dragon's bloodline, muttering in surprise.
A few moments later.
The Azure Dragon understood.
"You gave me this power in order to control me and make me work for you?" he narrowed his eyes and asked.
— — -first he beat me into a sorry state, then he bestowed me power, this is the classic example of giving a jujube for every hit.
Seems like …
This brat understands the value of the dragon race, as well as how much support the dragon race can provide.
Among the countless worlds, having a dragon to fight for you has always been the dream of many ambitious people.
This brat wants me to follow him and work for him with my life!
The Azure Dragon understood.
However … this idea is too naïve.
— — -does he really think everyone will listen to his orders? Become his subordinate?
I'll definitely agree to him first, even if I have to put various seals on myself, even if I have to sign various contracts, it doesn't matter.
When my master comes later, he'll definitely be able to undo those things.
What I need to do is …
First feign civility, then provide my master with the whereabouts of this Huang Quan Devil King.
The Azure Dragon instantly confirmed what he needed to do.
"Work for me? You have such an idea? "
Gu Qing Shan asked, a bit surprised.
The Azure Dragon nodded: "Your wisdom is truly admirable. I'm willing to sign any contract with you, even if you put seals on my soul, I'll listen to your orders and be at your beck and call — — as long as you spare my life"
Gu Qing Shan paused.
He appeared troubled and finally said: "About that … I'm sorry, it seems I'll have to explain a bit"
"— — -speaking of which, do you know of a certain cooking method called 'eating more than one fish'?"
The Azure Dragon froze and shook his head: "I don't know what you're talking about"
Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat, then slowly explained: "It's like this, for a fish, you can actually use the flesh to make sashimi, the fish body and other spices to make soup, while the fish head can be made into steamed chili pepper fish head by adding a bit of chili and pepper"
"Actually, I prefer the fish head to be braised and the fish body to be steamed — — - this is how I usually like to make saltwater"
"In this case, the whole fish will be finished. It won't be wasted at all."
"And so …"
Gu Qing Shan drew her sword and lightly swung it at the cage.
The Azure Dragon was already on the brink of death, so his power was at its weakest, so he naturally couldn't resist such an attack.
Sha — — -
A head flew up.
Gu Qing Shan sheathed her sword.
The head fell to the ground, but it was still staring at Gu Qing Shan with a confused expression.
It really couldn't understand what Gu Qing Shan was thinking.
He died with his eyes wide open.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and could only explain:
"I'm sorry, I don't usually make friends with my enemies, and I'm not so naïve as to think that I can make them my subordinates"
"I usually kill them as soon as I can — — - only when I run into a worthy enemy would I use my brain to think like 'eating more than one fish' and not waste anything"
As soon as she said so, a few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You've killed a Magic Dragon's bloodline descendant]
[The power of this Magic Dragon's bloodline descendant will be completely devoured by you as the Magic Dragon]
[You've killed a mythical creature: Azure Dragon]
[This battle has been judged as a battle above your level, you'll receive the corresponding Soul Points]
[Calculating Soul Points …]
