Gu Qing Shan observed the monk's statue.
— — -after the dust on his body had been removed, a simple monk's robe could be seen, but there was a pair of black shackles on his feet that pinned him to the ground, unable to move at all.
Gu Qing Shan had never seen such a situation before, so she couldn't help but feel cautious.
This guy definitely isn't simple.
"Amitabha, the wraiths are about to arrive, benefactor must quickly ascend to have a chance to escape with the world of Kunlun" the monk said.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the black thread on her arm.
The black thread that was thrown into the void of space was giving off a faint pulling force, as if reminding her of something.
— — -the pursuers are about to arrive.
Gu Qing Shan nodded to him: "I'll think of a way to ascend, farewell"
Zhao Xiao Seng said: "Wait!"
"Is there anything else?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The monk explained: "The seven Academies each have their own paths of ascension, consisting of a total of 81 checkpoints. Only after passing through all of them will you be able to reach the Ascension platform and head towards the Jasper Lake Heavenly Palace — — but the pursuers are about to arrive, you probably won't be able to pass through those checkpoints in time"
"Then what do I do?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The monk replied: "I was the backup prepared by the heavenly beings in the past, specialized in dealing with various dangerous situations. Benefactor, I will immediately send you to ascend"
Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked: "I heard that ascension is extremely difficult, one will have to face numerous difficulties, the difficulty is no less than a Heaven's Tribulation. You're trapped here, yet you want to send me to the Heavenly Palace?"
It was no wonder that he was doubtful, as this was the first time they had met, and the other party was sealed inside the palace, unable to move at all.
The monk didn't mind and clasped his hands together: "Benefactor, this humble one once met an extraordinary person in my early years and took him as my master"
"My master said that the world of Kunlun would face a great calamity sooner or later, so he taught me a few techniques to face the enemy, as well as a certain task"
"What is it?"
"If one day, I am trapped inside a temple, holding a foreign object in my hand and facing an otherworldly being, I must chant an incantation to prove that I am a friend and not an enemy"
Gu Qing Shan nodded, "Let me have a look."
The monk chanted an incantation in a low voice: "Time, you are the ruler of all living beings, but you are also my best friend"
Following the incantation, streams of quicksand appeared out of thin air and flew around the monk, transforming into a dignified woman.
Gu Qing Shan silently sensed the familiar power in the void of space, then clasped her fist and bowed: "Lady Fusi, I didn't think I would be able to see you here"
— — the Awaitings of the [Order] faction, the Controller of Time, the Undying Sand, the Lady of Legends, the Queen of Elemental Fairies, the Fairy of Time whose real name was Fusi.
She looked at Gu Qing Shan and smiled: "During the war between the Wraith realm and the Eternal Abyss, I once peeked into the Wraith realm through the River of Time, but there was a unique barrier in their world that even I couldn't see clearly"
"However, I inadvertently discovered this cultivator in a certain corner of the River of Time. He has the talent of time — — an extremely rare talent."
"And now, he is my successor, as well as a new force on our side, you can trust him"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Very well, I understand"
Fusi continued: "The Awaitings are about to awaken, I must stay here and protect them"
"The Wraith realm is very mysterious, make sure to be careful"
After saying so, she nodded to Gu Qing Shan, then turned into a sandstorm and disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan turned to the monk again.
"So that's how it is, I was wondering why you carried a familiar power, but why exactly were you trapped here?" his voice sounded a bit more intimate.
"Time is of the essence, I'll take you to Jasper Pool first, we'll talk later" the monk replied.
Gu Qing Shan clasped her fist: "Then, thank you very much"
All of a sudden, the ground trembled intensely.
As if some sort of immense power was shaking the entire Kunlun realm.
The sky darkened. At the extreme North, a gigantic black shadow could be seen slowly appearing.
— — -it was a gigantic warship, completely black in color, with a green mask of a wraith hanging on the bow of the ship.
The monk's gaze turned sharp and said: "Not good, the wraiths have arrived"
He formed a hand seal with both hands.
The dust on the ground scattered, revealing a gigantic formation beneath the monk's feet.
Countless golden runes circled around the monk, the immense pressure it exuded caused even Gu Qing Shan to feel a bit fearful.
"Time Retreat!" the monk lightly shouted.
A golden streak of light shot out from his hand and shot straight to the sky.
Instantly, the gigantic warship that was flying across the sky was struck by the golden streak of light and disappeared without a trace.
After unleashing this golden streak of light, the formation around the monk instantly collapsed.
— — -but destroying the enemy in a single strike was too powerful!
"You directly destroyed that warship?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
The monk wiped the sweat off his forehead and replied: "That's not the case. Thanks to the formation left behind by the heavenly beings, my Time Technique was strengthened several times over, allowing me to send that warship back to 15 minutes ago — — - after another 15 minutes, the wraiths would be able to reach Kunlun realm again"
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat.
A Time Technique!
This monk's Thaumaturgy is actually related to Time, as expected of Lady Fusi's successor.
He probably knows the entire Kunlun realm like the back of his hand.
Fortunately, he's on my side.
The monk looked at Gu Qing Shan again and urged her: "Quickly, benefactor, take out your sturdiest weapon and fly to the top of the temple, I will send you directly to the Heavenly Palace"
"Very well, then thank you"
Gu Qing Shan took out the Six Paths Great Mountain sword, flew to the top of the temple, and looked down.
"I'm here, may I ask how fellow Dao seeker will send me to Ascension?"
Gu Qing Shan asked.
At the very next moment, the monk took out a gigantic hammer of ancient design from the void of space.
As soon as the hammer appeared, the monk's body sunk a few inches into the ground, showing just how heavy this hammer was.
Strands of heavenly light and spirit energy drifted around the long hammer.
"Is this your weapon?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Indeed, the heavenly beings specially forged this weapon for me, it has the power to pierce through all barriers" the monk replied.
"Have you tested it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Of course"
The monk smiled warmly and said: "The 81 checkpoints are too complicated, we won't be able to go through them in time. With the power of this hammer in my hand, I will be able to send you up — — - but you must use your weapon to block it"
Block … block it?
Gu Qing Shan had a bad feeling.
The monk raised the hammer and shouted: "Amitabha, go!"
In that split second, Gu Qing Shan understood what the other party was planning.
His pupils contracted as he shouted: "Monk, wait — — -"
But there was no time!
Although the hammer was heavy, the monk's attack wasn't affected at all and was almost as fast as it could be.
The giant hammer left an afterimage in the air as it smashed towards Gu Qing Shan with overwhelming momentum.
Gu Qing Shan raised his sword in front of himself to block.
Boom!!!
A resounding explosion resounded throughout the entire palace.
Gu Qing Shan was sent flying by the hammer, quickly turned into a small black dot in the sky, broke through the layers of invisible light, and flew up into the sky.
— — he had ascended!
Gu Qing Shan flew through the clouds and continued to fly upwards.
Numerous barriers appeared from the void of space, but none of them could stop Gu Qing Shan.
He quickly went through all the barriers and arrived at a layer of space that was glowing with runes.
— — -this was the Ascension warp.
It was impossible to enter Jasper Lake by flying alone. Although the Heavenly Palace could be seen from the ground, it was actually located in another space.
Gu Qing Shan formed a hand seal to stabilize himself.
As soon as he stopped, the runes all flew towards him and slowly circled around him.
A second later, Gu Qing Shan's figure disappeared from the sky.
In the temple, the monk used his hand to cover his face as he looked through the broken roof towards the sky with a sorrowful expression.
"Amitabha, that was quite a good strike"
A small rune formation suddenly appeared and wrapped around the monk's body.
A second later, the monk also disappeared from the palace.
