The earth trembled.
Loud explosions.
The screeching of insects.
Trembling.
Intense trembling.
Even the secret room, which was reinforced with layers upon layers of spells, couldn't completely isolate these noises.
— — -perhaps it wasn't completely isolated in the first place.
Gu Qing Shan lay on the chair and scanned through the room.
The young people were all cowering with expressions of either reverence or fear on their faces, silently listening to the noises outside.
This would be their first lesson, allowing them to gain a better understanding of the world they were currently in.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and pondered.
I thought I was going to the Wraith realm, but I ended up in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
I thought that the Tomb of Myriad Beasts was about the same as the Wraith realm, but who could've known that a single resonance and reaction would cause me to witness an Apocalypse.
— — -as well as a certain entity that was trapped by the Apocalypse.
Compared to the Wraith realm, this world contained even deeper secrets.
Not only that.
The Wraith realm didn't have any truly powerful primordial wraiths.
The Tomb of Myriad Beasts also didn't have any Samsara Divine Beasts.
Those who occupied these two places were both humans, humans.
That in itself was a strange thing.
Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist and thought in a different direction.
The situation from now on will only become more and more severe, so I need to continue growing stronger.
Earlier, I was busy fighting against the Soul Shrieker, but now that the decisive battle is over, I'll probably have some time to properly cultivate.
Star River Saint …
This was the realm after Sumeru Lord. According to the knowledge given to me by the world spirits of the past, there was a huge gap between Sumeru Lord and Star River Saint.
To become a Star River Saint, one must first trigger the Laws of Heaven and Earth to manifest the Spiritual Heavenly Tome and Virtuous Karmic Tome within one's body.
The Spiritual Heavenly Tome requires the cultivator to grasp enough Dao techniques, while the Virtuous Karmic Tome requires the cultivator to accumulate enough Karma.
Only when both Dao techniques and Karma have been gathered can a cultivator attempt to break through to Star River Saint realm.
However, manifesting the Spiritual Heavenly Tome and Virtuous Karmic Tome requires an absolutely safe environment, so this secret room isn't suitable for it.
— — after this matter is over, I'll have to start cultivating.
While thinking, Gu Qing Shan observed the young people in the secret room.
Suddenly, he saw Young Master Zhang with a woman. The two of them said something, and Young Master Zhang walked towards him.
"Hey, Li San."
Gu Qing Shan returned to her senses and smiled as she cupped her fists. "Young Master."
"Yes."
Young Master Zhang sat down next to him and opened his arms.
Gu Qing Shan understood. She took out the longbow named "Eagle to the Moon" and put it in his hand.
Young Master Zhang put away his bow and said in a low voice, "Come, tell me, what did you see when you resonated with that piece of scale?"
Gu Qing Shan said, "Clan Leader forbade me to say it."
Young Master Zhang said, "Normally, everyone is kept in the dark. Only those official martial artists, bone masters, and archers will know the corresponding things according to their strength. This time, there is a secret that we know but the clan does not. You should tell me and let me hear it."
"I don't think that's a good idea. It's not a good idea to go against the Patriarch's orders." Gu Qing Shan hesitated.
Young Lord Zhang's face sank.
He turned around to look at the girl, then turned back and spoke with a gloomy tone:
"Li San, even if you've entered the School, you're still my servant. You dare to go against this young master on such a matter?"
Gu Qing Shan paused.
— — young master Zhang's desire for secrets is too great.
In truth, young master Zhang had already resonated with the scale and successfully linked to it, but he hadn't officially entered the School yet and was still practicing basic archery.
There was no need for him to be in such a hurry.
And so …
Gu Qing Shan looked at the girl not too far behind young master Zhang.
The girl's appearance was normal, but she gave off the presence of a ruler, clearly someone who lived a comfortable life.
Thanks to young master Zhang's memories, Gu Qing Shan was able to recall this girl's identity.
She came all the way from the Western Sea Grotto, a direct disciple of a certain powerful School.
Of the 8 Grottos in this world, Eastern Desolate was the weakest, while Western Sea was much stronger than Eastern Desolate, so it was basically the strongest grotto. So after this girl arrived, she was treated generously by both the City Lord and the various clans.
But Gu Qing Shan's heart turned a bit colder.
This young master Zhang, to help an outsider obtain information, he's willing to go this far?
After all, I've just saved his life and helped him out of a difficult situation.
Not to mention — — -
If you have any information you can exchange with me, I can tell you, but I already know everything you know, so why would I tell you so much?
But I'm indeed his follower, so if I don't tell him anything and anger him, there will be problems.
Gu Qing Shan didn't bother thinking about it anymore, so she glanced at the War God UI and equipped herself with the new Title.
— — [The Most Flirtatious Man]
"Young master, come with me" Gu Qing Shan stood up and said.
Young master Zhang was surprised.
Seeing that Gu Qing Shan was already walking towards the girl, he had no choice but to quickly follow.
Gu Qing Shan brought young master Zhang back to the girl's side and told the two of them: "This is a very dangerous matter, if I told you, it would attract even more of those insects, so I didn't dare to tell you"
"Please don't blame me, young master"
Title Skill activated!
Young master Zhang and the girl were both surprised.
"What he said … makes a lot of sense" young master Zhang muttered.
"That's right, if that's the case, then we definitely can't tell him. We'll have to wait until this storm is over, then we'll think of a way to make sure that no one can ask him about it" the girl said with a stern expression.
However, her expression suddenly became lively, and she no longer had that indifferent and indifferent look from before.
Gu Qing Shan smiled brightly and nodded: "That's right"
The girl pondered for a bit, then seemed to have made some sort of decision and suddenly said: "You go first, I have something to tell Li San"
Young master Zhang looked at Gu Qing Shan, then at the girl.
"Don't worry, the things I promised you, not a single one of them will be missing" the girl said.
Young master Zhang then turned around and walked away.
This time, it was Gu Qing Shan's turn to look at the girl, then at young master Zhang who was walking away.
— — what's the meaning of this?
Could it be that when I made young master Zhang give up on his thoughts, this girl had other thoughts instead?
The girl waved her hand to create a soundproof barrier, then said: "Li San, you don't have a name yet, so I'll call you that for now"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Very well, your excellency is …"
"I came from the Western Sea Grotto, Zhao Qiong of the School of Shan Hai"
Gu Qing Shan nodded and waited for the other party to continue.
Zhao Qiong continued: "There are a total of 72 cities in the Eastern Desolate Grotto, and this city we're currently in is the second-to-last city among the 72 cities"
"Even the 72 cities of the Eastern Desolate Grotto combined cannot compare to the strength of my School of Shan Hai"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Zhao Qiong smiled: "I'm saying this because I want you to have a better understanding. In truth, during the spirit linking process, there are many who can resonate with the Apocalypse, but very few who can continuously cause the Apocalypse to descend"
Gu Qing Shan still didn't know how to respond to this.
However, he had already come back to his senses.
— — -so this girl really thinks that I can cause the Apocalypse to descend just by talking.
In truth, I've only equipped [Most Amorous Man] and activated the Title Skill [So Reasonable].
That's why she believed me.
But she said that there are very few who can continuously cause the Apocalypse to descend "
Very few, which means there are.
— — how could there really be such a person?
Gu Qing Shan felt a chill in his heart.
Seeing his stern expression, Zhao Qiong thought that her plan had worked, so she continued: "Li San, you don't actually know what kind of ability you've obtained, but if you want to use this power to control the Apocalypse for yourself, there aren't many people in the entire Eastern Desolate Grotto who can help you"
"Li San, you need the power of our School of Shan Hai"
"Join us"
Gu Qing Shan appeared hesitant, then said: "But I'm about to join the School of Fei Yu"
"You don't need to worry about that. Since time immemorial, many people from the School of Fei Yu had attempted to resonate with that scale, but not a single one of them survived. You are the first, and also a talent that they couldn't nurture"
Zhao Qiong spoke with deep meaning: "Trust me, not too long from now, that scale will leave the School of Fei Yu"
"What do you intend to do?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Just buy it, after all, paying is the simplest way" Zhao Qiong casually replied.
Gu Qing Shan silently clicked her tongue.
This person's background and strength are both quite profound.
In truth, the more developed and powerful a place is, the easier it is to obtain information and authority.
Otherwise, what would be the point of me spending so much time here to become a City Lord?
In the entire Tomb of Myriad Beasts, a City Lord of the Eastern Desolate Grotto can't even compare to a strand of hair.
Unfortunately, I can't actually cause the Apocalypse.
Wait a minute.
It's not that I can't …
Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell onto the War God UI, staring at a certain Title that didn't have a bye.
— — -Starflame War God.
After thinking about it for a bit, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit more confident.
He hesitantly said: "The clan has nurtured me for so many years — —"
Zhao Qiong cut him off: "The amount of effort and money they spent on you isn't much, I can pay them a thousand times the amount, I guarantee that they'll be begging me to take you away"
Gu Qing Shan froze.
For some reason, he suddenly recalled Lola.
Such an act — — -
Could it be a shiny golden Beast King thigh is right in front of me?
Zhao Qiong observed his expression and continued: "Before you make your decision, I can answer two of your questions"
She smiled: "After all, in this world of the Deep Grotto, secrets are the most valuable things, and youngsters of your age all desire to know the truth of the world"
"That's why, ask me anything about this world, no matter what you ask, I can answer you — — consider this as a greeting gift from me to you"
Gu Qing Shan no longer hesitated.
— — he was completely confident that he hadn't revealed any of his thoughts, nor did he display any desire to obtain information.
This Zhao Qiong was completely relying on her sixth sense to make a decision.
What an impressive character.
However, Gu Qing Shan welcomed this.
The Wraith realm had already fused around 70% of the Wraith realm fragments.
How much has the Tomb of Myriad Beasts fused?
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts turned.
No, this question is related to the secret of fusing worlds, I can't ask it.
Li San is only a young master's follower from a small town in the countryside, how could he ask such a question?
One breath, two breaths. Gu Qing Shan quickly thought of something else.
This was a very important matter, and it was also suitable for Li San to ask.
Gu Qing Shan appeared curious and asked: "Senior Zhao, everyone says that the surface is too dangerous, so we've always been living in the Deep Grotto world, only able to come out at night — — I want to know, what exactly is there on the surface?"
Zhao Qiong appeared surprised, but then felt relieved.
That's right, this is something that everyone in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts has to face.
This Li San is also being rash, so he doesn't know how important of a question he just asked.
Zhao Qiong hesitated a bit, but still answered: "The reason why we can't go to the surface is because the world above is a tomb"
