The ghostly creature scattered.
Only a yaksha mask remained, hovering in front of Gu Qing Shan.
This mask contained the last of the ghostly creature's power, completely different from any other yaksha mask that Gu Qing Shan had ever seen.
It wasn't hideous.
The pure-white mask only had a pair of slender eyes drawn out by a shadow, other than that, there was nothing else.
If one took a closer look, they would notice that the two shadows that formed the eyes were one red and one black, seemingly not moving at all, giving off a sense of spirituality.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[This is a unique yaksha mask, one that had never appeared in the annals of history before]
[Samsara Wicked Mask: Jade Tree]
[This mask can unleash the Wraith realm Divine Skill: Jade Tree Deep Shadow (unique)]
[Jade Tree Deep Shadow:]
[Jade Tree: You can immediately select a certain treasure and allow the mask to obtain that treasure's ability, turning it into a Guise Hex and storing it on the mask, ready to be used at any time]
[Deep Shadow: The ability you obtain will automatically increase by one level, eternally stronger than the original treasure, but this will be hidden and will not be displayed on the mask. Furthermore, when wearing this yaksha mask, your power will become the type of ability you select, others will not be able to see through your foundation]
[Attention: The Guise Hex must be activated using the power of the Samsara or two Origin powers. For example, your Huang Quan Origin power and origin power of the soul]
[The Guise Hex technique is guaranteed to hit]
[Special reminder:]
[This mask is imbued with a one-time consumable technique: Fixed Teleportation, it will activate in ten breaths' worth of time, please wear the mask and prepare yourself]
Fixed Teleportation!
Gu Qing Shan pondered these words.
Why is it a Fixed Teleportation and not a Fixed Teleportation?
Since there wasn't much time, Gu Qing Shan didn't have much time to think and asked:
"Xiao Seng, we're about to be teleported away, can you hide on the Cang Hai Heavenly Ship for now?"
"Where will we be teleported to?" Zhao Xiao Seng asked.
"I don't know either — — I have no idea what kind of place it will be — — I'm afraid it'll be the same as just now, the type of adventure and romance that you like" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Zhao Xiao Seng said nothing.
He took out the glittering golden Cang Hai Heavenly Ship and placed it in the void of space, then silently formed a hand seal.
In an instant, he disappeared.
The Vast Sea Fairy Ship flew steadily into Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Zhao Xiao Seng's voice came from the heavenly vessel:
"Almsgiver Gu, enjoy your romance first. Please let me out when it's safe. Amitabha."
Gu Qing Shan looked at the immortal ship in her hand speechlessly.
There was not much time left. He put away the immortal ship and put on the Jade Tree Mask.
After two breaths of silence, the mask suddenly emitted a fluctuation of teleportation.
Gu Qing Shan instantly disappeared.
After he left, the entire platform began to collapse, and soon, it completely disappeared into the endless darkness.
…
The world was spinning.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly found herself standing on solid ground.
The surroundings were dark, and there was only a thin layer of light.
There were several rotting corpses on the ground. No one knew how long they had been dead, but no one cared about them.
All kinds of tools were scattered on the ground. There was a hoe, a wicker basket, a wheelbarrow, a cloth bag, and a small box with a talisman on it.
A cold breeze blew from the depths of the cave, mixed with the sound of metal hitting stone.
Gu Qing Shan only managed to get a glimpse of the situation. At the very next moment, the sharp sound of something breaking through the air resounded from behind her.
An ambush!
A sharp sensation of being stabbed could be felt. The other party had decided to go all out this time, intending to take her life in one strike!
Gu Qing Shan had already been cautious, so she drew the Earth sword without hesitation and swung it in the air.
A cold sword phantom flashed through the darkness.
Bam!
The ambusher was sent flying, crashing into a rock wall, no longer breathing.
Gu Qing Shan wielded her sword and slowly stepped forward.
This was a wraith cultivator with tattered clothes, struck by Gu Qing Shan's [Life Seeker] from afar. The yaksha mask on his face had fallen off, revealing a ferocious expression full of killing intent on his face.
He was already dead.
His weapon was a hoe, which was also cut in half by Gu Qing Shan's slash. It was sent flying, crashing into a rock wall, and then fell to the ground.
"Strange, why did he want to kill me?" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
He released his inner sight, passing through the mines, tunnels, and caves to observe the situation underground for several hundred miles.
As far as his inner sight could see, corpses littered the ground. Quite a few cultivators who were still alive were avoiding the crowd, specifically hiding in the most secluded tunnels.
They cautiously guarded their wicker baskets, which were full of ores.
— — -are these people fighting for ores?
They aren't particularly strong, so they were sent here to mine ores. Among the entire Wraith realm, they should be at the lowest level.
The lowest level …
What an unassuming beginning, no wonder that wraith teleported me here.
Gu Qing Shan retracted his inner sight and focused on the corpse in front of him again.
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan felt an indescribable fluctuation coming from his mask.
— — [Jade Tree] had been activated!
Gu Qing Shan immediately sensed two things.
A pickaxe.
The yaksha mask.
— — -they belonged to the cultivator who ambushed Gu Qing Shan, the only items he had.
Gu Qing Shan sensed them and quickly understood the power contained in these two items.
A pickaxe naturally had the ability to mine ores, nothing out of the ordinary.
The yaksha mask didn't have any special abilities, only a Guise Hex that could assist in mining ores:
"Search for ores"
[By wearing this Guise Hex mask, your ability to sense ores will increase]
Gu Qing Shan's mind quickly moved, recalled everything that happened, and immediately chose this ability.
"I want this one"
He silently said in his mind.
Following his thought, a grey mist quickly flowed from his mask.
[Deep Shadow] had been activated!
Gu Qing Shan's mask slowly gained runes, slowly becoming the same as the yaksha mask on the ground!
Since they had the same Guise Hex, the mask would naturally be the same!
"Very well, perhaps I really can …"
Gu Qing Shan calmed himself down and glanced at the void of space.
A few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Your Jade Tree mask has gained the ability to search for ores mask]
[Due to the effects of 'Deep Shadow', this ability has been upgraded by one level]
[You've obtained an upgraded Guise Hex to search for ores:]
[Search for ores]
[By wearing this Guise Hex mask, you will be able to directly sense the locations of various precious ores through the heterogeneous power of various ores]
The lines of glowing text flashed before disappearing.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to observe himself, only to find that his mask was still exactly the same as the one on the ground, not changing at all due to the Guise Hex's upgrade.
Gu Qing Shan silently stood there for a long while before sighing and muttering to himself:
"At this point, I've finally truly entered the Wraith realm"
He crouched down and placed his hand on the cultivator's corpse.
[Mystery of All Beings Equal], activate!
Very quickly, he became exactly the same as the cultivator on the ground.
The same face, the same physique, the same characteristics.
— — -and the exact same yaksha mask!
Gu Qing Shan put the corpse away, donned the tattered clothes, and put on the mask.
"So, I'm going to mine now?"
He carried the hoe, dragged the basket, and headed deeper into the tunnel.
