A tomb.
There was a tomb on the ground of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
Gu Qing Shan's mind moved quickly.
The entire Samsara had been destroyed, this much could be confirmed.
My homeworld was most likely a Samsara world derived from a fragment of Huang Quan.
The cultivation world was most likely a fragment of the human realm. Because the cultivation world had a path to Heaven specifically prepared for cultivators — — even though it had been broken and could no longer be ascended.
Could it be that the Tomb of Myriad Beasts was a unique fragment? Or perhaps the Tomb of Myriad Beasts itself carried some sort of secret?
The key to this question is how many fragments of the Animal realm were fused into the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
The people of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts could freely appear on the battlefield without the Wraith realm's interference.
— — -if that's the case, the Tomb of Myriad Beasts' fusion rate shouldn't be lower than the Wraith realm's.
I'll have to wait and see.
"Alright, Li San, you can ask me another question" Zhao Qiong smiled and said.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her.
Earlier, when she was standing by herself, other than young master Zhang, no one dared to approach and talk to her.
After all, her status was too high, and she had an unapproachable expression on her face.
Who would've thought that she would treat me like this?
Could it be that the people who can trigger the Apocalypse are really that important?
Gu Qing Shan regained her senses and asked: "Senior Zhao, why does your School of Shan Hai want someone like me?"
Zhao Qiong generously answered: "Because you can trigger the Apocalypse for us to fight against, research, and come up with a way to deal with it"
Seeing the confused expression on the young man's face, she couldn't help but stroke his head and continued: "It can't be helped, the 8 Grottos of this world are all researching how to fight against the Apocalypse, but this is related to an even deeper secret. Only if you join us and become stronger would you be qualified to know this secret"
The young man that Gu Qing Shan was pretending to be was only 15-16 years old, while she was already in her twenties, so she naturally felt much older than Gu Qing Shan.
She had no idea what this guy had gone through.
Gu Qing Shan was already displeased to have her head touched, so she made a bashful expression and avoided his hand, saying, "I didn't expect there to be someone who specializes in fighting against the Extraterrestrial Evil."
Zhao Qiong replied: "The true major Schools are all doing this. After all, this is related to the survival of every single person in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts"
She seemed to have thought of something, and her expression darkened.
Seeing her like this, Gu Qing Shan knows that there must be a reason.
Since it concerned everyone's life and death, it was naturally not an ordinary matter.
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts turned, then spoke in a low voice: "Senior Zhao, if you're willing to tell me why the major Schools want to research the Apocalypse, I'll immediately join the School of Shan Hai"
Zhao Qiong regained her senses and smiled.
"You're quite a smart kid. It seems like it wasn't a coincidence that you were able to say those words to help your young master in the meeting hall just now."
"Fine, I'll tell you. But once you know this secret, there's no turning back. You must join us."
Gu Qing Shan replied: "That's a promise"
Zhao Qiong appeared pleased, then mused: "This is related to the tomb on the surface. Many unimaginable entities are buried within the tomb, most of them are already dead, but a few still have lingering consciousnesses"
"Even in death, they are still using their remnant souls or consciousnesses to resist the Apocalypse"
"But sometimes, the Apocalypse would suddenly erupt, engulfing the entire tomb, or even seeping deep underground to reach our world"
"The few Grotto extermination incidents in history weren't actually caused by plagues or natural disasters, but rather by the eruption of the Apocalypse"
"Of the 8 Grottos of this world, every capable School must think of a way to fight against the Apocalypse, or even enter the tomb on the surface at certain times to eliminate those Apocalypses"
"This is partly due to the circumstances, but also because the entities within the tomb can grant us greater power, weapons, armor, and even help us understand the truth behind the world"
Gu Qing Shan was confused: "So we've always desired to know the truth?"
Zhao Qiong's expression became solemn and said: "Li San, remember this well. Secrets are the most valuable things in the infinite worlds, accompanied by risks, but also great opportunities. They can help us understand everything, so it is worth it for each and every one of us to take the risk"
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan felt a deep sense of respect.
Everything the people of the Wraith realm did was for the sake of plundering and domination, they only cared about benefits.
Compared to them, the people of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts had viewed the secrets of the infinite worlds as their highest goal.
With this philosophy alone, the Tomb of Myriad Beasts had already left the Wraith realm in the dust!
If everything was truly as Zhao Qiong said …
Gu Qing Shan said: "Senior Zhao, I'll join the School of Shan Hai"
Zhao Qiong smiled and nodded.
"Very well, once the Apocalypse outside is destroyed, I'll come and talk to the School of Fei Yu about you"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Senior Zhao, what kind of Apocalypse were those insects outside?"
Zhao Qiong replied: "I already said that I would only answer two of your questions, but seeing that you've already joined the School, I'll tell you"
"— — actually, I don't know what it was either"
Gu Qing Shan was originally listening attentively, but didn't expect to hear such an answer, so she couldn't help but feel surprised.
Seeing his expression, Zhao Qiong couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't worry, although I don't know either, according to the many years of experience of the 8 Grottos, out of the 179 known types of Wicked Revered, not a single one of them would be able to cause any major problems"
"Even if it was something that didn't belong to the 179 types, at least three of them would be needed for it to cause any serious consequences"
Gu Qing Shan nodded thoughtfully.
This was exactly the same as what the old man had said earlier.
While they were talking, their expressions changed at the same time.
Although they had set up a soundproof barrier, the two of them could still clearly see the actions of the young people outside.
Just now, everyone had joyful expressions on their faces.
Zhao Qiong waved her hand to remove the soundproof barrier.
The intense sounds of explosions outside had disappeared, as well as the sharp screeches of the insects.
— — -the battle had ended.
Very quickly, the door of the secret room was opened and a face peeked in.
It was Steward Liu, the one who brought Gu Qing Shan to the meeting room earlier.
"Alright, the monster has been defeated" Steward Liu said.
Saying so, he stepped aside, stood next to the door, and gestured for the young people to leave.
A faint white fog came in from outside the door, silently filling the secret room.
"There's fog tonight, those who haven't cultivated before, make sure to pay attention to your steps" Steward Liu reminded them.
The young people all cheered and walked out one by one.
Young master Zhang suddenly asked: "Where are my father and the others? They should be the ones who came to pick us up "
Steward Liu respectfully replied: "Young master, the opponent this time was too powerful, the Patriarch and the others were injured during the battle and are currently resting, so I came to pick you up"
Young Lord Zhang revealed a puzzled expression, but he still lifted his foot and walked out.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
Normally speaking, the Apocalypse had countless methods, some of which were powerful enough to crush everything in the world; some of which were unimaginably eerie.
For this reason, every manor had a secret room built to protect the young people who represented the hope of their clan.
Normally, the ones responsible for opening and closing the secret room were either the Patriarch or an authoritative Elder.
But the one who came was Steward Liu.
— — -seems like the battle this time was quite intense.
Everyone silently thought so and couldn't help but quicken their steps, wanting to see how their loved ones were doing.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan silently pondered, then whispered into Zhao Qiong's ear: "Senior Zhao, how strong are you?"
Zhao Qiong replied: "I'm not an expert in combat, but I do have a few trump cards that are probably stronger than everyone in this city"
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded, then suddenly called out: "Ouch, Liu Ming! Sir Steward Liu, my stomach hurts, please help me up! "
He crouched down, grabbing Zhao Qiong's hand to stabilize himself while clutching his stomach with his other hand, displaying a pained expression.
Steward Liu turned to look at him, but seeing him like this, he appeared helpless: "Hah, you brat, the Patriarch has already announced that you're going to join the School, why are you still acting like a coward?"
Gu Qing Shan lowered his head and narrowed his eyes.
Steward Liu's words didn't contain any issues, and his tone of voice also maintained the same attitude as before.
In the next second, he saw Steward Liu striding towards him and rambling, "Don't worry.
"Alright, I'll help you up. You're about to become an expert anyways, so don't bother with this old Liu about what happened in the past"
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and continued to grimace.
He used his finger to write a single word on Zhao Qiong's palm:
"Kill"
Zhao Qiong was a bit surprised.
She had been traveling around the 8 Grottos of this world for a long time, so she was used to going through storms and storms. Her mind was clear and decisive, but it was still a bit difficult for her to kill an innocent person.
While she was hesitating, Gu Qing Shan quickly wrote another word on her palm: "Trust me"
Zhao Qiong abruptly realized.
Indeed, Li Sangang had just successfully formed a spirit link and gained some sort of power.
What he formed a spirit link with was a piece of scale that no one knew about.
Although there were quite a few of such items in the 8 Grottos, very few people could successfully form a spirit link with them and bring about an unknown Apocalypse.
Perhaps …
Zhao Qiong's expression was calm, but she held Gu Qing Shan's hand tightly and said: "You might have eaten something bad, but don't worry, once you start cultivating, your body will no longer have this problem"
Gu Qing Shan felt relieved.
These words meant that he was at ease.
— — if Zhao Qiong still hesitated, Gu Qing Shan would have no choice but to do it herself, run away, or think of a way to change her identity.
After all, a person that even the Azure Dragon Origin Hex couldn't stop was definitely not the original Steward Liu.
After thinking about it.
It should be that insect.
In other words, other than this Steward Liu, everyone else outside is probably dead.
