Darkness.
The pitch-black darkness gradually faded.
Cang Wu Zhang opened his eyes and found that he was tightly bound by countless metal chains, suspended in the air.
What was going on with him?
He stared blankly for a while and gradually remembered what had happened.
— — -the Huang Quan Devil King pressed his hand on his neck and said: 「 Your father seems to be very impressive, but remember, if you provoke me again, your father won't be able to protect you 」
He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but who knew that after the Ghost King left, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and then he didn't know what happened.
So, I'm dead?
Cang Wu Zhang was shocked and couldn't help but struggle.
Suddenly, an old man's voice rang out.
"Wu Zhang, don't move."
Cang Wu Zhang shivered and immediately stopped moving.
This voice was all too familiar. It belonged to the Wraith Lord with the most powerful spells among the three Wraith Lords, Hundred Grudges.
Since he heard this voice, he was definitely not dead.
Cang Wu Zhang regained his composure and asked:
"Ghost Lord, what's going on?"
Bai Yuan's voice sounded again, "You were killed. Fortunately, your soul and body are still there. Your father didn't want to reincarnate you with the evil spirit technique, so he found me and asked me to use this resurrection celestial technique to save you."
Cang Wu Zhang silently sighed in his heart.
Life and death was a big deal, and it was also one of the strictest laws.
If I were to use the Wraith realm's spell to resurrect, I would definitely turn into a zombie, or a skeleton, or even a beast, unable to maintain my current body.
The only way to transcend life and death and bring people back to life was to use immortal arts.
Even if it was an Immortal Art, breaking through the Laws of Life and Death to save a person would definitely require a lot of energy, so the Ghost Lords were not willing to use it easily.
His father was not good at this kind of immortal technique, so he had to ask Hundred Grudges to perform this immortal technique.
Only God knew how much his father had paid for this.
"Huang Quan Devil King …"
Cang Wu Zhang gritted his teeth.
Hundred Grudges said, "Wu Zhang, don't bother about it anymore. Your father has brought an army and surrounded that place."
"There?"
"The place where you died was also the place where the Huang Quan Devil King went to face his Tribulation — — - when a cultivator returns from a Tribulation, they would definitely return to the place they left, and as soon as he appears, he would immediately die"
Hearing that, Cang Wu Zhang calmed down.
With his father personally taking action, there wouldn't be any problems.
Once the Huang Quan Devil King's soul is captured, I can finally take my revenge.
As for now …
"Thank you, Lord Hundred Grudges, for saving me."
Cang Wu Zhang said with a grateful tone.
"Hehe, there's no need to thank me. After all, everything has a price … Your father has already given me sufficient compensation." Hundred Grievances said.
…
Heaven Pillar World.
Gu Qing Shan sat on the city gate tower, took out the straw cage, and released the spirits of the fairies.
Countless fairies surrounded him and expressed their gratitude.
They took out pieces of wood, flowers, leaves, mushrooms, grasses, and the like out of nowhere, and put their souls into them.
These things immediately came to life and turned into the appearance of fairies.
However, the fairies who chose wooden bodies had dark brown bodies; the fairies who chose leaves wore green skirts; and the fairies who chose mushrooms looked like mushrooms with limbs and facial features.
The long-bearded old man appeared again and hurriedly said, "Why didn't you chop that guy into pieces? You should know that he isn't like us pixies who can survive on a random leaf"
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "They have a Huang Quan world in their hands, they can control life and death, and they've even used Immortal Craft before, so I don't think there's any point in killing him"
"Also …"
Gu Qing Shan carefully put a few stray hairs into her Inventory Bag and spoke with a serious expression: "Someone like him is actually a kind of loophole for the Wraith realm. Rather than helping the Wraith realm eliminate him, it's better to keep him as an idle chess piece that might prove useful in the future"
The long-bearded old man shrugged: "Very well, since you weren't being careless and had your own considerations, I won't worry about it anymore"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What about the God of Life?"
The long-bearded old man sighed: "According to those wraiths, the power of [Chaos] is more effective against the Abyss, so they had the Deity of [Chaos] lead the carriers of [Chaos] of the 900 million World Layers to the frontline against the Eternal Abyss"
The old man awkwardly moved his body, then muttered in dissatisfaction: "This body … seems like I'll have to meticulously make a new one when I return …"
Gu Qing Shan immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, the power of the coins can only travel backwards and back to the past, not forwards, so I couldn't save you"
The three Space-Time coins were objects that could alter history, so their power could only be used in the past.
The coins could select a point in history to bring the user to the past, but they couldn't do anything about the present or the future.
When a user traveled from the 'present' to the 'past', the 'present' time would still be moving forward. When the user returned to the 'present', they would already be in the 'future' after a certain period of time.
— — -if the user couldn't return to the exact moment they left, even if they used the power of the coins again, they wouldn't be able to return to the exact moment they left.
Because that period of time no longer belonged to the user of the coins, it completely belonged to someone else.
For example, inside the seal of Drifting Sand world, whenever Gu Qing Shan went to the Age of Old and died on the way, as soon as he returned to the seal, he would see Lin, who was impersonating the dark figure of light, doing something else.
Sometimes, when he returned, Lin would be eating, sometimes Lin would be waiting for him, and sometimes, Lin would be checking his pills, reading a jade tag, or doing something else.
It was only when she sensed that Gu Qing Shan had died that she would return to the moment of Gu Qing Shan's death and bring him back.
Sometimes, Lin would also hide in the shadows, traveling with Gu Qing Shan and directly bring him back if things went wrong.
But in the end, the fact that they returned to the Age of Old couldn't stop the 'present' time from moving forward towards the 'future'.
When he returned from the Age of Old and arrived at the Earth World, the War God UI immediately notified him that over a year had passed.
At the time, the coins told him that Gu Qing Shan would die if he didn't wait for over a year.
Gu Qing Shan had thought that the coins were afraid of Magic Dragon, Lin, and the Soul Shrieker's traps, but now that he thought about it, the coins didn't care that much, they were actually talking about the Law of Time.
Just like the previous times, when Gu Qing Shan returned from the past, time continued to move forward. When he returned, it would already be after the pixies were killed.
Because of that, these three coins were also known as the [Keys of the Past], their power focused on the past.
The past …
Gu Qing Shan suddenly thought of something.
Perhaps there's something unique that can take me to the future?
At this point, the long-bearded old man happily asked: "It doesn't matter, you've already saved us, but where exactly is this place? Should we hold a celebratory ball for surviving a calamity? "
Gu Qing Shan regained her senses and replied: "This is Heaven Pillar world"
The long-bearded old man could already see the towering Pillar of Heaven at the center of the city.
"Whoa, so thick! So sturdy! How regretful that it's broken! "he exclaimed.
The pixie king appeared next to him, arms akimbo: "It took so much effort to get to this foreign world, are we going to climb that pillar?"
Hearing that, the long-bearded old man's eyes glowed.
"That's right! That's the symbol of a cultivator! We should conquer it! "the long-bearded old man said.
Gu Qing Shan facepalmed.
The pixies have a strange way of thinking, and since I have to face my Tribulation, I really can't control them.
"You don't need to climb the pillar" Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and tried to explain: "If you want to leave this place, you'll have to come with me to the top of the mountain. To accomplish this as quickly as possible, I think you'll need to hide and stay … by my side …"
Before he could finish, the long-bearded old man and the pixie king had already become excited.
"There's another mountain?" the king asked.
"That's right, the Divine Mountain of Sumeru" Gu Qing Shan sensed something amiss, but still answered.
"The Divine Mountain!!!" both the king and the old man exclaimed.
The long-bearded old man went silent for a brief moment, then suddenly shouted: "Everyone, prepare yourselves, the first mountain climbing competition of the year is about to begin! The last pixie to reach the top must become a Wupalupa! "
The king loudly added: "— — and he must become a Wupalupa for an entire year!"
Before he finished, the old man had already rushed forward.
"Father's father's father's father, you cheated! You ran first! "the pixie king angrily shouted.
He also rushed forward.
The pixies shouted 'Wupalupa' and happily followed the king and the ancestor of the kingdom towards the Heaven-reaching Pillar.
Gu Qing Shan stood still, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a single word.
Law 57 of the infinite worlds: When pixies are in high spirits and want to do something, you can't stop them.
Then …
The Divine Mountain's vitality has been greatly damaged, and it's only just returned to normal, so it shouldn't be too dangerous … right?
While Gu Qing Shan was hesitating, several cultivators flew towards her from afar and landed in front of her.
Everyone respectfully clasped their fists: "Your excellency, you must be here to face your Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation"
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Sensing the immense spirit energy fluctuations coming from his body, everyone exchanged joyful glances.
This level of spirit energy is — — -
It's something they've never seen before.
The last time someone passed their Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation, it caused a huge commotion.
This time, there were even more people who came to test him.
There were around 30 of them, all of them had eager expressions on their faces.
One of the cultivators respectfully asked: "Your excellency, please tell us how we should prepare. When will we set out? The arrangements of personnel will also be decided by your excellency "
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then suddenly smiled and loudly declared: "Come, let's climb the mountain, the last person to reach the top will turn into a tortoise for everyone to see"
He leapt forward and took the lead!
