At the moment of Su Qing's death, Gu Qing Shan noticed something.
The stream was flowing backwards.
Gu Qing Shan was certain that no one was using any spells or techniques around him.
He looked up at the sky.
It was currently noon, but the sun was quickly setting towards the East.
The sky slowly darkened.
Time moved back from noon to morning.
Dawn came, then was swallowed by the darkness of night.
In the darkness of the night, the faint moon peeked through the clouds, illuminating the earth with its faint moonlight.
The moon rose and set.
The light of day once again dispelled the darkness of night.
The setting sun was infinitely beautiful.
At dusk, the sky was filled with the glow of the setting sun. But the crimson red setting sun had returned to the sky, becoming brighter and brighter until it hung in the middle of the sky.
Noon.
It was noon again.
Gu Qing Shan didn't move and only cautiously observed her surroundings.
The stream returned to normal and flowed down the hill.
Su Qing's body suddenly disappeared.
A streak of light flew in from afar and landed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan received the Communication Talisman, a nervous voice resounded from it:
[Su Qing, it has been confirmed. Tomorrow morning, the Disciplinary Elder will speak about your matter in front of everyone!]
Su … Qing?
How did I really turn into Su Qing?
Gu Qing Shan threw the Communication Talisman away, opened her hand, and looked at the jade tag.
— — this was the jade tag that Su Qing left for me before she died.
According to Su Qing, this jade tag would be able to help me.
Gu Qing Shan infused the spirit energy in her Dantian to activate the jade tag.
A second later, Su Qing's voice resounded from the jade tag:
[Fellow Dao seeker Gu, you must seriously listen to what I'm about to say]
[For countless years, the world of Kunlun had a constant day, from noon on the first day all the way to noon on the second day. During this period, everything would repeat itself without exception]
"Almost no one noticed this, except me."
"Because on this day, I was the only cultivator who chose to commit suicide. When my soul left my body, I seemed to have broken some kind of spell, so every time I came back, I could always remember how I died."
"I don't know why the world has become like this, but I've stayed in this world for a long time. Every time I die, I go deep into Kunlun City as a soul and figure out everyone and everything, but I still can't find the answer."
"Until recently, when I was about to die again, a fragment fell from the sky and landed in front of me."
"That's right. It's the fragment that you want to take."
"When it descended, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky. All the immortals in the Jade Pool Immortal Palace suddenly disappeared. They only reappeared after I hid the fragment."
"Perhaps this is the key."
"It's a pity that I'm dying every day and suffering all the time. I'm completely powerless to change my fate, let alone ascend."
"Now, I can finally rest in peace. You will stay in this world and take my place."
"Think of a way to go to the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace. All seven Dao Academies have ways to ascend, but no one can cultivate them to perfection in a single day and fulfill the conditions for ascension."
"You come from the outside world and are so strong. There's definitely hope for you to unravel the secrets of this world."
"I … can't stand this world anymore. Goodbye."
The voice disappeared at this point.
Gu Qing Shan was silent for a few moments, then suddenly looked at the black thread in his hand.
The black thread was still connected to his hand, the other end pointing somewhere in the city.
No matter what, I'll first get the fragment of the Delimitation sword, then think about other things.
Gu Qing Shan made up his mind. His figure flashed and flew in the direction the black thread was leading.
Fifteen minutes later.
He stood in front of a dilapidated temple, carefully looking around.
This temple was already dilapidated, but it still took up a lot of space. There were a lot of people around, but not a single one of them looked at the temple, nor did they enter it.
One end of the black thread was holding onto Gu Qing Shan, the other end went through the ancient formation on the wall and went deep into the temple, so deep that he couldn't see where it was going.
The entire temple was enveloped by a strange power, within a certain range, inner sight wouldn't work.
"This is the power of the Dharani … it's been so long since I've seen a monk"
Gu Qing Shan muttered, walked to the front of the temple and loudly asked: "Is there anyone inside?"
No answer.
Gu Qing Shan's figure flashed and entered the temple.
There was a thick layer of dust everywhere.
It's been too long since anyone came here.
Gu Qing Shan calmed down.
If there's no one, that means the fragment is still safe and hasn't been taken away by anyone.
Since inner sight doesn't work, he could only walk in step by step.
Walking up a long flight of stairs, passing through several corridors, passing through several Buddhist halls, Gu Qing Shan finally reached the deepest part of the temple.
He stopped in front of the final hall.
There was a hole about the size of a fist at the top of the hall, sunlight shone through the hole, illuminating the only statue of a monk.
This monk statue was smiling, kind and friendly, but covered in dust, as if it hasn't been cleaned for many years.
In the hand of the statue, there was a sharp piece of shard.
— — -the fragment of the Samsara Delimitation sword.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell on the fragment.
He thought for a bit, then clasped his fist towards the statue: "Fellow Dao seeker, the fragment in your hand is very useful to me, I want to exchange it with something else"
The monk statue shook a bit, the dust on its body fell off.
"Amitabha … I've been waiting for this day"
The statue opened its eyes, evaluated Gu Qing Shan, then slowly shifted its gaze back to its hand.
The sharp sword fragment of the monk statue asked: "Benefactor, may I ask, who in Kunlun city has reincarnated?"
— — -he actually came back to life.
As Gu Qing Shan silently watched this, he quickly pondered.
"Su Qing" he answered.
The monk statue asked: "So benefactor has now become Su Qing?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "That's right"
The monk sighed, then continued: "Back then, we had calculated many times and found out that even though Kunlun world has been crippled and will no longer attract the wraiths' attention, as time goes by, the wraiths will only become stronger and stronger, and will soon achieve their goal. At that time, they will destroy the eyesore Kunlun world"
"— — -but before the destruction, a unique item will fall on Kunlun world"
Their gazes fell on the fragment of the Samsara Delimitation sword at the same time.
"You mean, this item can save Kunlun world?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"No" the monk statue answered, "it is only an opportunity"
"An opportunity?"
"That's right, look, it brought you to Kunlun world, as well as allowed this world to give birth to the first person to escape the sea of suffering after countless years"
Gu Qing Shan knew that the other party was talking about Su Qing, so she directly asked: "You want me to help you?"
The monk raised the fragment and asked in return: "Benefactor, do you want to obtain it?"
The monk flicked his finger.
The Samsara Delimitation Fragment fell into Gu Qing Shan's hand.
"Thank you" Gu Qing Shan immediately put the fragment away.
The threads on his hand all disappeared.
This meant that there were only two fragments of the Samsara Delimitation sword in Kunlun world.
Understanding this, Gu Qing Shan immediately wanted to leave this world.
— — -but now that I've replaced Su Qing, I'll have to spend countless repetitive days in this world. What should I do to escape from this situation?
While he was thinking, the monk statue spoke again: "The wraiths are about to catch up, you must quickly ascend to Jasper Lake Immortal Palace"
Gu Qing Shan looked down.
At some point, a black thread had flown out into the sky, extending endlessly towards the outskirts of Kunlun city.
The other party wasn't lying, there really was something that was chasing after them.
The shadow of death slowly spread through Gu Qing Shan's spirit sense, a sense of urgency arose.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Didn't you need my help to save Kunlun world, sir? Why do you want me to ascend? "
The monk statue was emotionless and calmly replied: "You must quickly escape, and take the entire Kunlun world with you"
"You feel that I'm no match for the wraiths?" Gu Qing Shan smiled and asked.
The monk statue smiled and clasped his palms together: "Amitabha, benefactor's killing intent is too heavy, this humble monk admires it"
