Everyone had already left.
Gu Qing Shan stood still, pondered for a bit, then said: "Seems like I'll have to make a trip to the Wraith realm"
The Wraith artifact spirit replied: 「 Indeed, you must bring my main body back, only then would I be able to keep those Apocalypses sealed 」
Gu Qing Shan said: "Shan Hai Qi Xia, return to the Tomb of Myriad Beasts first, I'll come find you after I've retrieved the sword"
Shan Hai Qi Xia was a bit hesitant.
Gu Qing Shan then turned to the Wraith artifact spirit and asked: "How many of the traitorous guards are still alive?"
「 I've sent them into a powerful Apocalypse and killed them 」 the Wraith artifact spirit replied.
"Very well"
Gu Qing Shan turned around, grabbed Shan Hai Qi Xia's hand, and pressed it down: "From now on, no one in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts will have their souls replaced"
"Furthermore, I'm quite proficient in disguise and infiltration, so just return to the Tomb of Myriad Beasts and wait for me"
Shan Hai Qi Xia's expression changed a bit, then said: "Alright"
She took out a small bell, lightly shook it, and silently chanted an incantation.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "You have my communication talisman, we'll keep in touch"
Shan Hai Qi Xia nodded, then slowly disappeared.
— — she had returned to the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
Only Gu Qing Shan and the Wraith artifact spirit remained.
"I'm going to the Wraith realm, do you have any way to help me?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Take this 」 the Wraith artifact spirit replied.
A handful of fine black sand appeared out of nowhere, hovering in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
「 This is the highest-grade restrictive treasure artifact in the great tomb, just take it, it'll be fine 」
「 As long as you can find my main body and place this treasure artifact on it, you'll be able to sever all of the wraiths' restraints on my main body and directly take it away 」
Gu Qing Shan received it, glanced at it, then replied: "Alright, then I'll be leaving"
「 Hm, for the next few days, I'm preparing to completely seal the great tomb, not allowing anyone to enter or leave, to avoid any further dangers 」 the Wraith artifact spirit replied.
Gu Qing Shan touched the Nine Serenities Yin Incantation Jade Tablet and felt it.
Sure enough, Salted Fish Gu Qing Shan was no longer in the tomb.
"What if I bring your main body back?"
Gu Qing Shan asked.
"If that happens, I'll naturally be able to sense it. I'll open the Great Necropolis then," the wraith sword spirit said.
"Very well, I'll be leaving now," Gu Qing Shan said.
The Wraith artifact spirit replied: 「 How about this, I'll take you to a large-scale world near the Wraith realm. That place is a trade world where both good and bad people mingle, people from all over the infinite worlds trade there, even those from the Wraith realm have to follow the rules of trade there 」
"It couldn't be better" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 Hm, you're a very resourceful person, I don't need to say anything else 」 the Wraith artifact spirit replied.
A layer of black mist shrouded Gu Qing Shan's body and enveloped him. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
…
Shan Hai Qi Xia returned to the Western Sea Grotto.
Li Chun Dao and Wang Shun who had been waiting for a long time came up to her and asked in shock: "Sect Master, where are the others?"
Shan Hai Qi Xia shook her head and whispered: "Follow me"
She led the two of them to the center of the School, the Bookkeeping Room.
In the main hall of the Bookkeeping Room, she lightly pressed a button at a hidden location.
A dark and gloomy tunnel opened up.
"Don't say anything, follow me" Shan Hai Qi Xia curtly said.
The two of them exchanged glances, but she was already flying deeper into the tunnel.
Li Chun Dao and Wang Shun had no choice but to follow.
Oom — —
The heavy gate closed behind them.
The glow of countless runes flashed briefly before vanishing.
Even if they wanted to return now, there was no way to do so.
The three of them followed the secret passage, passed through an underground river, went through a series of winding underground passages, and finally arrived at a secret room.
Shan Hai Qi Xia cut her finger and pressed her blood on the door.
A few moments later.
The door opened to both sides, scattering dust everywhere.
Shan Hai Qi Xia led the two of them inside, then stood in the middle of a simple courtyard.
There was a long table made of vines here, with several dozen empty chairs around it.
Completely empty.
Li Chun Dao and Wang Shun were both confused — — they never knew that there was such a long passage below the Bookkeeping Room.
Where exactly is this place?
"Just listen and don't say anything" Shan Hai Qi Xia told them.
"Yes, Sect Master" the two of them replied.
Shan Hai Qi Xia took out a candle, lit it, then placed it on the table, then found a place to sit down.
A few moments later.
Figures slowly appeared on the empty chairs.
"Of the 8 Grottos of this world, Western Sea isn't particularly strong, but since it's Shan Hai Qi Xia, I'll have to pay a visit" a dignified voice resounded.
Li Chun Dao and Wang Shun followed the voice, only to find that the figure was extremely familiar.
Suddenly, they recalled a certain person.
The former Island Master of Nan Long Island, a peerless Combatant who went insane 300 years ago, then disappeared without a trace.
While the two of them were surprised, they heard another voice.
"It's Shan Hai girl, this great one would naturally have to pay a visit as well, after all … she was the only one who survived …"
He didn't continue.
An old man with a sorrowful expression appeared on the chair.
"White-Head Venerable!" Li Chun Dao exclaimed in shock.
Wang Shun's expression also turned pale.
White-Head Venerable, one of the strongest people in this world, but because he hadn't learned the inheritance to its peak, he was ranked below the other four.
He had once suffered heavy damage to his vitality during a famous battle, never to recover, and was rumored to have died a long time ago.
Who would've thought that he would still be alive and appear here.
More and more people appeared.
Almost every chair had someone sitting on it.
In an instant, the deathly silent courtyard was once again filled with lively voices.
All the seats were taken.
Li Chun Dao and Wang Shun stood behind Shan Hai Qi Xia, completely numb.
Too many legendary figures had actually appeared here.
What exactly is going on?
They turned to Shan Hai Qi Xia.
Only to see her calm expression, as if she wasn't thinking about anything at all.
"Very well, quiet down!"
An old voice called out.
This voice seemed to carry a lot of authority, as everyone immediately went silent.
The old voice asked: "Shan Hai Sect Master, the Apocalypses have been rampant recently, although we've been hiding in the shadows, we've also been putting out the fires everywhere. What exactly is the reason for your sudden emergency summon?"
Complete silence.
Every Combatant was staring at Shan Hai Qi Xia.
Shan Hai Qi Xia finally spoke up: "In the name of our entire Tomb of Myriad Beasts, I have formed an alliance with a single person"
The old voice calmed down and asked: "You are the only one among us to succeed, so you certainly have the qualifications, but I want to know, why exactly did you do this, and who is that person"
Shan Hai Qi Xia's expression was a bit mocking.
She recalled everything that Gu Qing Shan had done.
Truly …
Even now, when she thought about it, she still felt that it was impossible.
In fact, just before they parted, he even took the opportunity to silently put a jade tag in her hand.
— — although this was a cultivator's item, there were no seals on it, so it wouldn't be too hard for Shan Hai Qi Xia to learn what was inside.
The jade tag contained several particularly powerful inheritances, as well as three lines of text:
[For now, there are no longer any entities that can replace your souls, you can be assured of this]
[However, all things are unpredictable, and the sword spirit cannot be trusted. Your Tomb of Myriad Beasts must prepare for battle at any moment, as well as retreat at any moment]
[Remember, wait for my news]
Shan Hai Qi Xia suppressed the unease in her mind, regained her composure, and said: "My ally is the sword saint Gu Qing Shan, the reason for this is because …"
She slowly began to recount everything that had happened recently.
The faint candlelight illuminated Shan Hai Qi Xia's beautiful, yet exhausted expression.
At this point, every Combatant hiding in the shadows of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts had gathered in one place.
Within the darkness, they stared at the single lit candlelight, silently listening to everything that had happened recently.
…
At another location.
Gu Qing Shan appeared in the middle of a wilderness.
He landed on the ground, released his inner sight to silently investigate, then immediately flew towards a large city in the distance.
On his way, he took out the Silent Dusk Cloak and donned it again.
— — this cloak was capable of suppressing the Black Dragon's power and isolating all powers. Back when he killed the Magic Dragon, he had been wearing it on his back.
But after he undid the Magic Dragon's power and killed three dragons, he no longer needed this cloak.
Now, in order to hide his figure and appearance, he once again draped it over his back, flipped up the hood, and put it on his head.
"Gongzi, there's no need to worry about the Apocalypse for now, so why do I feel like you're feeling even heavier now?" Shannu asked.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: "To be honest, I don't really like dealing with the people of the Wraith realm"
"Why not?" Shannu asked.
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the clump of black sand in his hand.
This was the treasure that the Wraith artifact spirit gave him, one that could be used to remove all restraints and take away the main body of the divine sword.
But a line of glowing text remained untouched on the War God UI:
[Reincarnation Spirit Devouring Sand, a Spirit Slaughtering treasure, a treasure unique to the Samsara]
[This sand would kill the artifact spirit upon contact, be careful, be careful!]
Gu Qing Shan carefully put this clump of black sand away.
"He really did help me a lot, and he did his best to stop the Apocalypse from erupting, so there shouldn't be any issues with this artifact spirit"
"Could it be … there are two artifact spirits?"
Gu Qing Shan muttered.
