A large tiger head fell to the ground and rolled 2-3 meters away.
Gu Qing Shan put the [True Crimson Demon Spear] away and clasped her fist towards the void of space: "Southwest 15th frontline observation tower, Corporal, Gu Qing Shan, reporting"
The void of space shifted.
The tiger head disappeared in an instant. Following that, a voice shouted: "Come in quickly"
Gu Qing Shan took a few steps forward and entered the formation.
Inside the camp, there were cultivators everywhere, all of them wearing armor with a cold expression on their faces.
Several enforcer cultivators were shouting, hurriedly ordering groups of cultivators to enter the warp formation and retreat towards the rear.
As Gu Qing Shan came in, she saw a few cultivators dressed as scouts checking the tiger head.
"Confirmed, it is the Ghost Feeder Tiger King" one of the scouts stood up and reported.
Hearing that, the General who was standing among the commanders smiled: "Very well! I've heard that Corporal Gu breaks through realms as easily as eating or drinking, but I didn't know that Corporal Gu was also here to cover the rear, otherwise why would I need to send scouts to investigate the Tiger King's whereabouts? "
Gu Qing Shan clasped her fist and calmly replied: "Chang Yu Li and Bai Zhuo are most likely dead"
The General's smile disappeared, replaced by a sense of sorrow.
Everyone else also went silent.
Gu Qing Shan looked around, only to see that all of them were wounded, their weapons were still in their hands and their spirits were a bit tired.
Seems like this was the last camp responsible for covering the rear for the frontline troops.
A jade tag appeared in the General's hand.
While reading, he muttered: "Corporal Gu, the military situation is urgent, I'll make it short"
"Please" Gu Qing Shan said.
The General replied: "This morning, there was a rumor that a Corporal on the lookout managed to overcome his Tribulation and became a {Yama King} realm cultivator. Unfortunately, before we could check, the entire frontline was wiped out"
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and only listened.
The General muttered: "{Yama King} realm … very well, I'll give you three choices"
"First, retreat according to the original plan and return to the rear. We'll wait for the military merit assessment to be completed, and we'll listen to orders after we're promoted."
"Secondly, the official inspection and appointment of military merits can wait until the war situation has stabilized. Now, I will transfer a group of people to you and temporarily appoint you as a centurion. You will immediately lead the army into battle."
"Thirdly, because you were able to kill the Ghost Feeder Tiger King on your own and you're a sword cultivator, I'm afraid that leading an army will drag down your combat power. How about this, I'll transfer you to the scout camp and allow you to roam freely. You'll go to the frontline to investigate the enemy's situation and look for opportunities to assassinate those powerful monsters."
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a moment, then cupped his fist and said, "I'm willing to join the Scout Battalion."
— — in Gu Qing Shan's plan, she should have gone to Shifu directly, but the situation had changed.
In this great defeat, he was at the frontlines, so as long as he went deeper, he would definitely be able to obtain first-hand information on the battle of Mount Meru.
This way, it would be easier for him to find the crux of this world.
When it came to leading an army into battle, Gu Qing Shan was quite familiar with it. But the problem was that after he obtained the inheritance from the countless world fragments, his swordsmanship, cultivation, spells, and the 6 arts had all been rapidly improving through 'enlightenment' time and time again.
Now that he had entered a state of 'enlightenment', it was very easy for him to empty his mind and ignore the outside world.
This way, he wouldn't be able to take care of the entire army.
So it was better to go alone.
Seeing his attitude, the General spoke in a low voice: "Very well, for cultivators of our generation, cultivation alone doesn't mean much, only those who dare to enter the enemy's ranks by themselves are true heroes!"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "I have a condition"
The General asked: "What condition?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I need supplies, most likely a lot of supplies"
The General's eyebrows relaxed and smiled: "What kind of condition is that? A {Yama King} realm cultivator should have access to high-level supplies, and since you're going to the frontlines by yourself, no matter how lacking in supplies, this General will definitely make up for your needs"
"— — -men, bring me my badge"
Very quickly, a black badge was presented in front of the General.
The General used a crimson brush to write a military order on it and tossed it to Gu Qing Shan.
As Gu Qing Shan received it, he saw a few words written in flamboyant calligraphy: [Roaming Cavalry Loose General]
Everyone became rowdy.
Gu Qing Shan was now a Loose General.
Although a Loose General was the lowest rank among the Generals, it could be said that he was no longer a soldier.
At the same time, Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
Inside his consciousness, the jade token given to him by the Godly Mt. Xumi quivered slightly, showing some changes.
A piece of information came out from the jade badge and spread throughout his Thought Sea.
Gu Qing Shan understood.
The Divine Mountain of Sumeru was borrowing the hands of these cultivators to help him gain a foothold in this world.
Compared to when he first came here, he would be able to control more resources and gather a certain amount of strength.
This change in status meant that he had gained the first step of being recognized by the Divine Mountain of Sumeru.
The General waved his hand.
"Go, collect your supplies and return to the frontlines. Kill as many monsters as you can along the way, report back if there's any news"
"Understood"
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist and left.
An armament officer brought him along and gave him two formation discs, a bundle of talismans, five bottles of medicinal pills, two sets of battle armors, a string of ancient copper coins, and the corresponding spirit stones according to his rank as a Wandering Cavalry Loose General.
"Is that all?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The armaments officer carefully answered: "Ah, that's right, these are all good items for war, this is the last batch of supplies we have here, do you have any other requests?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'm not a greedy person, but there are a few things that I can't use, I want to exchange them for something else"
The armaments officer smiled: "That's fine, as long as General Gu is willing to pay the corresponding price, we still have 2 good offensive treasures left, I guarantee that they'll be very powerful, General can exchange them for another one"
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: "I want to exchange for some cooking utensils and ingredients"
"What? Cooking utensils? "
The armaments officer froze, thinking that he heard wrong.
Under Gu Qing Shan's strong request, the armaments officer took all the talismans and one formation plate, brought him to collect a large amount of spirit cooking ingredients, as well as a set of cooking utensils.
Everything was prepared.
"Thank you for accommodating me"
Gu Qing Shan was satisfied and clasped his fist.
The armaments officer also clasped his fist, opened and closed his mouth, but didn't say anything.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and watched as Gu Qing Shan left.
…
The night deepened.
The snow had stopped. A bone-chilling cold slowly swept across the world.
While flying, Gu Qing Shan touched his face with his hand.
It was completely cold.
His spirit energy barrier couldn't completely stop the natural chill of the world, this was the first time Gu Qing Shan had ever seen something like this.
Here, even the Earth sword couldn't cut through the ground with its full power.
The Divine Mountain world's Origin was immeasurably vast and indestructible.
— — which was why the Laws of Heaven and Earth here were also unimaginably powerful.
On the other hand, the 900 million World Layers in the void had varying amounts of Origin power, but the difference wasn't too great.
That was because the Divine race's world-creation technology had always remained stable without too many fluctuations.
Comparing the two, Gu Qing Shan suddenly had a thought.
Before entering the Divine Mountain, he had already noticed that the various worlds of the Divine Mountain were connected.
Could it be — — -
Something went wrong during the process of connecting these worlds?
Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped his train of thought and formed a hand seal to completely conceal his presence.
He leapt onto a tall tree branch, took out a formation plate, and instantly set up a concealment formation.
— — Gu Qing Shan had comprehended a lot of the pinnacle knowledge of the cultivation civilization, so this formation plate had been modified by him to be more effective than any other cultivator could ever imagine.
He silently stood on top of the tree branch, not moving an inch.
A second later, three flying swords appeared from the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan gestured for them to be careful.
The three flying swords were silent and motionless, protecting his body.
A few moments later.
The ground began to tremble.
At the frontline, a boundless torrent of skeletons was rushing towards them.
This torrent was like a terrifying tsunami, but it was moving faster and faster.
— — -a sea of skeletons.
Countless skeletons were squeezing, rolling, and devouring everything in their path.
Ahahahaha!
They were rushing through the ground right under Gu Qing Shan's feet, giving off a cacophony that made anyone who heard it feel numb.
Gu Qing Shan looked down at these skeletons and activated the Devil King Warden Rod in his Thought Sea.
The Devil King Warden Rod lightly trembled, but didn't react.
— — -not the souls of the dead.
Then what are these things?
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and looked far ahead.
In the middle of the night, the mountains were so vast that he could only observe them with his inner sight.
The sea of skeletons was slowly swallowing up all the mountains, growing stronger and stronger until he couldn't see the end of it.
This was an unprecedented scene. Even in the 18 layers of hell, Gu Qing Shan hadn't seen such a sea of skeletons before.
"Strange …"
Gu Qing Shan muttered, took out his Roaming Cavalry Loose General armor and equipped it.
As soon as he put on his armor, he seemed to sense something and abruptly turned his head to look in the direction he came from.
Only to see a sky-high green flame rising from the direction of the camp.
In that direction, the ground became illusory.
At the same time, the faint image of another world appeared. It only lasted for a few breaths' worth of time.
Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes for a bit.
In that illusory world, he saw all sorts of strange monsters that he'd never seen before.
All of a sudden, the two illusory worlds alternated. The illusory world disappeared.
Where the camp used to be, all the trees and snow also disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
He's seen this before.
During the battle against the Huang Quan fragment world, the red gate used a Divine Skill — — [Cycle of Life and Death].
It was also like this at the time.
Could it be that the entire camp was sent to the Huang Quan realm?
No.
That can't be right.
That's not Huang Quan at all!
"Ah? There's a fish that escaped the net here "
A heavy voice resounded.
A giant claw reached out from the sea of skeletons, instantly pierced through the formation and reached for Gu Qing Shan.
