The Pillar to Heaven.
There was a flight of stairs on the pillar that led straight to the clouds.
The cultivators and pixies climbed up the clouds together.
— — Frost's appearance was only a small interlude. Right now, everyone was trying their best to climb the Heavenly Pillar and reach the Divine Mountain of Sumeru!
"The last time I was here, this Sky pillar was broken. Why is it all right now?" one of the cultivators mumbled in a puzzled tone.
"Yes, according to the records, this Sky Pillar has been broken for a very long time. The cultivators wanted to search for the Immortal Lake of Inversion within the layer of clouds." Another cultivator continued.
"That Immortal Lake is not easy to find. Usually, people would only find it after searching for a long time."
"Mm, it is said that in ancient times, there were immortals in the clouds who specialized in testing cultivators. Unfortunately, the immortals have disappeared without a trace."
…
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything. She just kept climbing in silence.
It seemed like as the Godly Mt. Xumi recovered, the Heavenly Pillar also became complete.
He wondered how those disgusting monsters on Godly Mt. Xumi were dealt with in the end.
How did Master find the Immortal Lake?
Master …
Sigh, perhaps Master doesn't even need to look for him. He just needs to think about it and he'll be able to remember.
What kind of person was Master?
When he first met his master, she was one of the Three Saints of the Mortal World.
Later on, when they went to the Ancient Era, they found out that she was the daughter of the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace's Palace Master. Because she was born with a golden lotus flower and possessed peerless talent, she was envied by the Divine Race and cursed.
But now, it seemed that Master's identity wasn't just that.
The ancient cultivators did not know so much about the Six Paths of Reincarnation …
The more she thought about it, the more confused Gu Qing Shan felt.
The Heavenly Pillar had penetrated deep into the clouds.
After climbing for a few hundred breaths of time, they suddenly poked their heads out of the sea of clouds.
Right in front of them, a vast lake appeared in front of them.
The edge of the lake blended with the clouds, looking boundless.
Based on her previous experience, Gu Qing Shan stretched out her hand and made a hand seal, then flew into the lake first.
The others followed suit.
The pixies and cultivators fell into the lake, following Gu Qing Shan as they dived deeper and deeper until the light around them became darker and darker.
In the end, the lake was so dark that nothing could be seen.
Everyone continued to dive, and even when they spread out their Divine Telekinesis, they could only explore the endless darkness.
Gu Qing Shan gestured for everyone to wait.
After a few breaths.
A dim glimmer of light flashed in the darkness.
This light was almost undetectable, but the cultivators had already released their inner sight to search for it.
"Let's go." Gu Qing Shan transmitted her voice to everyone.
Everyone moved in a grandiose manner toward the source of the faint light.
After a while, the surroundings gradually became bright.
In the clear water of the lake, the gentle sunlight shone down from the sky, indicating the direction to float up.
Everyone quickly floated up and leaped out of the lake.
The lake water was vast, and the clouds were boundless as far as the eye could see.
The cultivators all looked at Gu Qing Shan.
— — – only cultivators who faced their Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation would be able to see the divine mountain of clear glass that connected heaven and earth.
Gu Qing Shan sensed the subtle ripples in the void. She spread out her divine sense and scanned the surrounding thousands of miles. Finally, she saw the mountain.
The Divine Mountain of Sumeru!
At this point, the Divine Mountain of Sumeru had returned to its original glassy color, no longer showing the gloomy gloominess of before.
"Come with me"
Gu Qing Shan called out, took flight, and flew towards the Divine Mountain.
Everyone followed her order.
A few dozen breaths later.
The group stopped at the foot of the Divine Mountain.
The void of space split open as a monkey jumped out.
As soon as the macaque saw Gu Qing Shan, it shouted:
"You again!"
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "That's me"
The monkey clasped his fist and respectfully spoke: "Thank you for your assistance and saving the Divine Mountain of Sumeru"
"You're welcome, I only did it for the convenience of my Tribulation" Gu Qing Shan returned the gesture.
Hearing that, the cultivators were so shocked that they forgot to breathe.
What?
The Divine Mountain was saved by this cultivator who broke through to the Sumeru Lord realm?
Who exactly is he to be able to accomplish such a great feat!?
A female cultivator suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute, when the Divine Mountain of Sumeru was on the verge of destruction, he was the one who saved it?"
Everyone turned to the female cultivator, only to see that she was the daughter of the Star River Saint.
The monkey glanced at the female cultivator and nodded: "It was his and his Shifu's joint efforts, truly impressive"
Gu Qing Shan said: "Let's not talk about small talk, we're going to climb the mountain now"
"Alright! The Divine Mountain is also waiting for you "the monkey said.
He took out a Dharma Gong and a gavel from his back and told everyone:
"Strike the Dharma Gong and you'll be guided in by the Divine Mountain"
"The Dharma Gong will randomly take one of your epithets, decide according to the epithet you receive, and send you to different corners of the Divine Mountain"
"Who's first?"
Everyone turned to Gu Qing Shan.
With a troubled expression, Gu Qing Shan abruptly moved and retreated behind everyone.
He clasped his fist to the group: "Everyone, please go first. I've seen your epithets, so I naturally know your abilities, so I'll be prepared"
Everyone was surprised.
So that's what it was, this great cultivator was truly meticulous!
But the monkey raised his voice: "Brother cat, your 'Big Tabby Cat' epithet has reached the limit of {Mahesvara Thaumaturgy}, the Divine Mountain specifically ordered you to strike it first, so that you can go in and discuss something with it first"
!!!
I've already avoided it so carefully, why did you have to say my epithet out loud?
Gu Qing Shan was full of resentment, under the indescribable gazes of the cultivators, he stepped forward and struck the Dharma Gong.
A voice came from the Dharma Gong: [Gu Qing Shan, due to the Divine Mountain's care, today's epithet will be: Cat King]
[Cat King is — — -]
The Dharma Gong stopped for a bit, but couldn't find a way to describe it, so he angrily shouted: [Gu Qing Shan, location of entry: Samsara Divine Palace]
A layer of light appeared around Gu Qing Shan's body, enveloped him, and disappeared with a 'sha'.
"Alright, next!"
…
Gu Qing Shan only felt himself being dazed for a split second before he disappeared.
A second later, the scenery around him changed.
He found himself standing in the middle of a palace.
There were six doors to the palace, and there was a long queue outside each door.
Gu Qing Shan looked around, only to see a busy scene.
Quite a few people were maintaining order in the palace.
"Silence! Silence! "
"Don't cut the queue! Those who cut the queue will go straight to Huang Quan! "
"That pig over there, I'm talking about you, your only choices are the Huang Quan realm and the Beast King realm, why are you trying to squeeze into the Human realm — — you only have the Huang Quan realm left now!"
Following that, a desperate pig's cry resounded.
The pig was gone.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead.
— — so what exactly is going on here?
He suddenly saw a familiar person.
Bai Zhuo!
Bai Zhuo was maintaining order, so he quickly walked over as soon as he saw Gu Qing Shan.
"Thank you for avenging me and Chang Yu Li last time, killing that vicious tiger" he clasped his fist and thanked her.
"It's fine, what's going on here?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Ah, the Divine Mountain is about to split into the Samsara again, so all the demonic beasts from before will have to reincarnate again" Bai Zhuo replied.
"That pig just now — — -"
"Pig demon"
"Ah, so the pig demon went to Huang Quan?"
"Yes, the Divine Mountain is actually a miniature Samsara, cultivators who face their Tribulation usually have to pass through the six peaks to reach the top, return to the Human realm, or the Path to Heaven"
"The Path to Heaven …"
As Gu Qing Shan repeated that, he suddenly had a thought.
Before, Reneedol couldn't find the Divine Mountain's Path to Heaven, so she could only leave the Qilin here to continue searching for it for her.
After so many years, even when the Divine Mountain was about to be destroyed, the Qilin still couldn't find the Path to Heaven.
In the recorded history of the cultivation world, the Divine Mountain had always been used to face Tribulation, so no cultivator had ever found the Sumeru Mountain's Path to Heaven.
— — where exactly is the Path to Heaven?
