Gu Qing Shan sat on top of the cliff, looking at the boundless darkness.
— — -this was a barren world, other than the space vortex, there were only layers of mysterious runes that occasionally glowed in the darkness.
Isolation runes.
The entire world was in a state of isolation.
Buttercup stood behind him and said: "This is a cultivation world that our Ominous Demon Tower collected, there are no longer any people here, but the world's Origin still exists"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Thank you for lending this world to me"
Buttercup nodded: "Then I won't bother you any longer, take your time to break through — — there won't be such a safe environment in the Wraith realm"
"Alright, I'll do my best" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Buttercup's figure flickered and disappeared into the darkness.
She had returned.
At this point, the only person left in this world was Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan took out a cushion, placed it on top of the cliff, and sat down to silently ponder.
Fortunately, with Fei Yue's jade tag, the City Lord's manor's collection of cultivation-type scriptures was even more complete than many other cultivation worlds.
And now, Gu Qing Shan finally understood a bit about the process of becoming a Star River Saint.
To achieve this realm, three conditions must be fulfilled.
Firstly, the total amount of spirit energy must be twice that of a Sumeru Lord.
The more spirit energy one has, the more powerful the techniques they can perform, so increasing the total amount of spirit energy is the most basic requirement.
Gu Qing Shan silently evaluated the spirit energy in his Dantian and quickly found the answer.
— — thanks to the battle in the Saint Spirit world, I absorbed the powerful Origin of that world, so my spirit energy should be almost enough.
I only need to silently cultivate for another 10 days to reach the required amount of spirit energy.
However, just reaching the required amount of spirit energy isn't enough, I still need to fulfill the second condition.
— — the inheritance of the Samsara.
The inheritances of the Samsara are as vast as the Milky Way, innumerable, as long as I can obtain even one of them, I would be able to trigger the power of the inheritance itself and aid my breakthrough.
In other cultivation worlds, there were also people who could obtain inheritances, but the inheritances of those worlds were quite normal, unlike the Tomb of Myriad Beasts where the Wraith realm coveted them and had their souls replaced.
Gu Qing Shan silently felt glad that she had made a trip to the Tomb of Myriad Beasts earlier.
There, he obtained the inheritance of the Six Paths: Ethereal.
It seemed to be one of the most powerful legacies in the Great Necropolis.
According to the War God UI's notification, this inheritance even represented an identity that could participate in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy.
Now that he had the Spiritual Energy and the inheritance, there was only one condition left for him to advance to Celestial River Saint.
Saint Selection.
The explanation was simple. There was only one sentence:
Choose a suitable world as your path.
There was a note at the end:
"All the powerful cultivation worlds know the importance of the Chosen Saint. They usually choose the Heavenly Realm or the Beast King Realm, because according to legends, the Heavenly Realm is the strongest; in reality, the Beast King Realm has the highest degree of fusion, and can provide Star River Saints with many insights."
Recalling the description on the jade tag, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but silently sigh.
With a wave of his hand, the Chao Yin sword, Earth sword, and Six Paths Great Mountain sword appeared from the void of space in front of him.
"Gongzi, why did you call us out?" Shannu asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I have something I want to hear your suggestions about"
「 Go ahead 」 the Earth sword replied.
Gu Qing Shan paused for a bit, then asked: "Among the Samsara worlds, if I wanted to choose a world, which one should I choose?"
The Earth sword replied: 「 That depends on what you want to do with the world you want to choose 」
"What do you mean?"
「 If you want to drink alcohol, flirt with girls, and enjoy life, then the mortal realm would naturally be the most suitable world for you 」 the Earth sword replied.
"I need a world that can represent the path I choose" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Gongzi, then it must be the Heaven realm. You've seen a few Immortal Crafts and experienced how powerful they are, so the Heaven realm should be the most powerful world" Shannu said.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then said: "Now that I think about it, of all the worlds we've been to, only my homeworld's Samsara was nearly complete"
「 That's right 」 the Earth sword confirmed it, 「 my homeworld also had a Wraith realm, and even though those wraiths were weak, they were still true wraiths 」
"But the Heaven realm of my homeworld is actually the descendants of the Inner Plane's Divinities, this is very strange" Shannu added.
"According to the jade tag, none of the Heaven realms of the Samsara worlds have any people, so those descendants of the Divinities should have gone there later" Gu Qing Shan said.
The Earth sword continued: 「 The Tomb of Myriad Beasts is full of humans, and there are no truly powerful beasts 」
Gu Qing Shan followed up: "The Wraith realm is also full of humans, there are no true wraiths"
Shannu suddenly said: "But the world of Huang Quan has dead people, hell, the Forgetting River, and the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, it's almost like a complete Huang Quan world"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
"That's right …" he muttered, "other than Huang Quan, we don't actually know much about the Samsara worlds"
Tapping his Inventory Bag, Gu Qing Shan took out the Devil King Warden Rod.
He lightly stroked the rod, muttering in a low voice: "For some reason, when I was choosing a Samsara world, only when I thought of the Huang Quan realm did I feel a bit more at ease"
「 So you're not going to choose another world? 」 the Earth sword asked.
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan slowly made up his mind and said: "I have the Devil King's Deific Authority of Huang Quan, as well as the Grand Tie Wei Mountain Divine Sword that stabilized the Samsara world, both of these are powers that exist in Huang Quan"
"Gongzi wants to choose Huang Quan?" Shannu asked.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
Countless years ago, the Samsara was destroyed.
Whether it was the Apocalypse or something else, there was a single thing that could destroy the entire Samsara, causing countless fragments of the Samsara to scatter within the space vortex.
— — no.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly squinted his eyes, exuding a different aura.
He had been so busy dealing with various matters that it was only now that he had the chance to silently think about everything.
He noticed something amiss.
The Wraith realm destroyed many parallel worlds and used Fate Corrosion to attack the Eternal Abyss.
— — could the fragments of the Samsara world have been scattered across many parallel worlds?
After all, the parallel worlds are only a 'smokescreen'.
Taking a step further, could it be that many of the Samsara's secrets are also hidden within parallel worlds?
The Tomb of Myriad Beasts claimed to have fused 99% of the Beast King realm's fragments, only to create a great tomb.
Could it be — — -
They only fused the majority of the Beast King realm's fragments from the current parallel worlds?
Or perhaps there are even more fragments hidden within other parallel worlds?
The true clue is that great tomb.
But the great tomb hid many Apocalypses, and it was temporarily sealed off by the Wraith artifact spirit, causing the Delimitation sword to be completely destroyed and brought back to the Wraith realm.
To find out the truth, I have to go to the Wraith realm and find that Delimitation sword!
Other than that — — -
Without even the Tomb of Myriad Beasts fully understanding the Beast King realm's secrets, how could I possibly choose another world?
I don't understand it at all.
The result of this situation was that many cultivators who chose the Beast King realm during the Saint Selection were also completely clueless.
The Beast King realm they knew was only the Beast King realm where humans existed, it wasn't the Beast King realm's true form.
If I also chose the Beast King realm, even if I managed to complete the Saint Selection, I would be the same as my predecessors and take many detours due to my ignorance.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
If I hadn't discovered the truth of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, I would have most likely chosen this world as well.
— — -in truth, if I were to compare the six worlds together, the one I understand the most is still the Huang Quan realm.
"I've decided, I'll choose the Huang Quan realm" Gu Qing Shan said.
"It's good that gongzi has decided" Shannu replied.
「 Then you can prepare to break through now, we will remain vigilant and protect you 」 the Earth sword said.
Oong! The Chao Yin sword vibrated.
Gu Qing Shan nodded, closed his eyes, and began to accumulate spirit energy.
His breathing slowly became lighter and lighter before disappearing.
— — -10 days.
I'll need around 10 days to complete this stage and attempt to break through to Star River Saint realm.
…
At another location.
In the normal flow of time.
Deep within the palace walls shrouded in mist.
Xie Dao Ling was standing under a peach blossom tree, holding six glittering pearls in her hand.
She stared at the pearls and muttered:
"Heaven realm, Human realm, Asura realm, Animal realm, Wraith realm, Huang Quan, six worlds …"
"Four of them don't suit me"
She put the four pearls away, leaving only the last two in her hand.
One of them was white jade, the other was a faint yellow like mist.
"The strongest of the Heaven realm, undefeatable in Huang Quan"
Xie Dao Ling's gaze fell onto the faint yellow pearl, hesitated a bit, then muttered to herself: "Qing Shan has the proof of the Huang Quan Devil King, so he might choose this path"
She put away the dim yellow bead.
At this point, the only thing left in her hand was the white jade pearl.
"Then, for the Saint Selection, I'll just choose the Heaven realm"
