The wraith stood in the darkness, crouched down, and looked at Gu Qing Shan and Zhao Xiao Seng.
Its entire body was enveloped in black fog, only its head was exposed. A pair of glowing green eyes stared straight at Gu Qing Shan, staring straight at him.
「 Such clear fluctuations, I can sense the power of Life Talismans from your body 」
「 … Another wraith who wants to participate in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy. Did you avoid the stronger ones and risk your life to come here, hoping for me to grant you the Chosen Saint position? 」
Under normal circumstances, when faced with this kind of question, a person would most likely continue talking, hoping to gain more time to talk and understand the situation.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and silently held the black thread in his hand.
One end of this black thread was connected to him, while the other end was connected to the wraith's body.
A faint sensation came from the thread into Gu Qing Shan's mind.
— — through the mysterious sensation that the thread gave off, he could sense the other party's anger and killing intent.
Anger. There are countless explanations.
There is only one kind of killing intent.
Of course, Gu Qing Shan understood this subtlety.
At this moment, he was thinking who knows how many times, at the same time, he also gained a deeper understanding of the Fate ability [Longing].
I don't know this monster.
I don't have any information.
But that doesn't matter, I can directly sense the other party's attitude and emotions.
A Fate ability truly is a powerful ability made to save the day.
"That's not it" Gu Qing Shan casually replied, "I'm not a wraith, I'm the Lord of War of Huang Quan, I came here to get rid of the wraiths, but accidentally awakened you"
The wraith's head retreated a bit, then abruptly came closer, its glowing green eyes opened even wider.
「 Huang Quan? You said you're a member of Huang Quan? 」
It roared full of surprise.
The killing intent from the wraith on the black thread faded a bit.
Very well, it seems my guess was correct.
This monster might be an entity that gave the wraiths something, but for some reason, it's now filled with killing intent towards the wraiths.
"I really did come from Huang Quan" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He took out the Devil King Warden Rod, held it in his hand and circulated his power.
The power of the Yellow Springs enveloped his body, illuminating the darkness around him.
The wraith continued: 「 How strange, how strange, you're clearly the Chosen One of Huang Quan, yet you've come to the Wraith realm and summoned me — — what exactly are you planning to do? 」
Impatience and anticipation could be sensed from the black thread.
Gu Qing Shan felt it.
After a moment of silence, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind before he finally spoke: "The Six Path Tournament for Supremacy is about to begin, I'm here to learn about my opponents"
The ghost suddenly threw its head back and laughed.
"Ahahaha, what a great Huang Quan Warlord, so you wanted to defeat the Wraith realm's Saint Chosen before the Samsara Clash for Supremacy begins — — - what a great idea"
It stopped laughing and spoke with a mocking tone: 「 Unfortunately, the wraiths have even gained control over the Great Flood. They've also chosen three Wraith Saint Chosen, each with their own titles: Fate Obstruction Wraith, Giant Frame Wraith, and Karmic Fire Wraith 」
「 Young one from Huang Quan, although you're a Star River Saint, you're only one person, unable to fight against three Wraith Saint Chosen at the same time, and definitely unable to fight against the Great Flood 」
「 Even if I gave you the Saint Chosen identity, it would still be futile 」
「 Go back 」
Saying so, it shook its head, turned around, and went back into the darkness.
The black thread lightly trembled. Gu Qing Shan immediately sensed the other party's regret and disappointment.
Following that, the black thread broke.
This meant that the other party had given up on trying to communicate with him, as well as not wanting to have anything to do with him.
Recalling the other party's words, Gu Qing Shan had many thoughts running through his mind.
This wraith was able to give me the Wraith Saint Chosen identity!
If that's the case, it really is similar to the one-horned wraith that gave me the Huang Quan Saint Chosen identity.
Perhaps they're the same type of entity.
— — -but that wraith felt that I couldn't fight against the Great Flood, nor the Wraith, so it left in disappointment.
What should I do now?
If I miss this chance, I might not be able to see this entity ever again.
From its words, I can easily tell that it has a certain level of influence over the Wraith realm. Even if it can't make me a Wraith Saint Chosen, it should still be able to help me in other aspects.
I definitely can't miss it!
At this moment, countless scenes of the past flashed through Gu Qing Shan's mind.
The Great Flood.
An Unlivable Apocalypse.
How exactly can I win against the Great Flood?
The big shots of Void City couldn't even resist the slightest omen of this apocalypse.
I wouldn't be able to stop this Apocalypse either.
— — -no, for the current me, the Great Flood is true despair, an insurmountable obstacle.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
In the darkness, the wraith slowly moved away, about to disappear from Gu Qing Shan's sight.
Gu Qing Shan forced herself to calm down and continued to ponder.
— — -there's no way to fight against the Great Flood.
What other way is there to make this wraith stay?
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan recalled what the one-horned demon said when she faced the Star River Tribulation:
"So you were the Devil King of Huang Quan, Lord of the Samsara Divine Mountain. For you to be able to inherit [Ethereal], you must have gone through countless hardships and battles"
"The identity you possess, as well as the things you've accomplished, are truly rare in this world"
"— — -seems like the Saint Selection of the Huang Quan realm can end now"
A thought suddenly appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
He roared into the depths of the darkness.
"Your excellency, I can definitely kill all of those wraiths, none of them are a match for me"
"Even the Great Flood cannot compare to the power I have!"
Gu Qing Shan circulated all of her Huang Quan Origin power, abruptly swung her fist, and struck four times in a row in the void of space!
All four strikes struck nothing but air, but each of them exuded a different kind of power.
Grand Mountain.
No Mercy.
Myriad Shadows.
— — Null Tribulation!
The first three strikes were fine, but Gu Qing Shan wasn't able to unleash this [Null Tribulation] strike.
Even if it was only a demonstration, even if it was a casual strike, this strike had already surpassed his abilities.
As soon as he raised his fist, this strike drained all of his Huang Quan Origin power.
Supernatural phenomena abruptly appeared.
The world of darkness receded, turning into innumerable lines and sprites of light in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
All forms had disappeared.
All living beings, all appearances no longer existed. As far as Gu Qing Shan's eyes could see, there were only the Laws, as well as the Origin power that made up everything.
A split second later.
Everything returned to normal.
Gu Qing Shan's legs went limp as she collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.
Her stamina and Huang Quan Origin power were all expended.
Originally, Huang Quan Origin power was a type of Samsara power that could trigger [Null Tribulation], but due to Gu Qing Shan's current strength, this strike was only the beginning.
— — -how was it?
The black thread suddenly appeared again, one end coiled around Gu Qing Shan's hand while the other flew into the darkness of the void.
Gu Qing Shan looked into the darkness.
The pair of glowing green eyes appeared again.
The ghostly being leapt through the distance and appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
「 So you're the inheritor of [Ethereal], I really couldn't imagine that someone of your level of strength would be able to obtain [Ethereal], completely surpassing my expectations 」 the ghostly being evaluated him.
"I couldn't either, I only killed a monster" Gu Qing Shan admitted.
「 What kind of monster was it? 」 the ghostly being asked with interest.
Gu Qing Shan then described it.
「 No, even ten thousand of you wouldn't be able to kill it 」 the ghostly being resolutely replied.
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to explain the entire process.
The ghostly being looked at him, speechless.
「 A tiny speck of light was able to destroy the blazing sun in the sky, no wonder … 」 it sighed emotionally.
Gu Qing Shan tried asking: "Your excellency, you seem to understand [Ethereal] quite well"
「 [Ethereal] is a fist technique specifically passed down from the Samsara, every Samsara Divinity can use [Ethereal] to recreate the Samsara's painful past 」 the ghostly being appeared nostalgic and replied.
"Your excellency, between this technique and [Great Flood], which one do you think is stronger?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The ghostly being regained his senses and looked at him: 「 Of course [Null Tribulation] is stronger, it's the power that destroyed the Grand Tie Wei Mountain — — if that's the case, your Deific Authority is the [Samsara Mountain God], because only the Grand Tie Wei Mountain has recorded the power of [Null Tribulation], this was done in preparation for the future evolution of the Samsara 」
"Since I have a chance to win against those wraiths, please grant me the title of Wraith Saint Chosen" Gu Qing Shan sincerely said.
The ghostly being's eyes suddenly glowed with an even brighter light and spoke solemnly:
「 Cultivator, I want to see your Six Paths Great Mountain sword 」
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand at the void of space.
An autumn-water clear blue sword appeared out of nowhere and hovered next to him.
The ghostly being stared at the Six Paths Great Mountain sword for a while, then suddenly spoke with a sobbing tone: 「 How wonderful … even though I've forgotten everything, I still haven't lost my spirituality, still as glorious as before 」
The black fog around his body completely scattered, revealing a horrifying body full of wounds.
Over half of this ghostly being's body was already gone, the only thing that remained was a skeleton and bits of flesh.
From the looks of it, it had participated in a terrible battle.
「 The final bit of power … will help you gather the power of Saint Chosen, but this power will be temporarily hidden, otherwise it will draw the attention of the other Wraith Saint Chosen 」
A yaksha mask descended from the darkness, silently hovering in front of Gu Qing Shan.
The ghostly being's eyes became dim, his entire body turned to ash and disappeared into the endless darkness of the void.
「 All power has been used up, I will completely disappear, the rest is up to you — — of course, there's also this sword of yours, make sure to treat her well 」 the ghostly being said.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "You recognize the Six Paths Great Mountain sword? Why did you recognize me as soon as you saw the Six Paths Great Mountain sword? "
The ghostly being chuckled in the end.
Everything about him faded away with the wind, leaving only his final words:
「 You must be a true sword cultivator to be recognized by this sword 」
「 That's enough 」
