The Soul Siphon Apocalypse.
How did this Apocalypse find Shifu?
Gu Qing Shan silently muttered in his mind, but kept a smile on his face: "Xiu Xiu, you should keep these two gems. Senior brother has a lot of good stuff, there's no need to steal Shifu's gifts"
He put the two gems back into Xiu Xiu's hands.
"Alright, third brother, can you turn back into a cat for me to pet again?" Xiu Xiu asked.
Gu Qing Shan's body shivered.
To be honest, the way I pinched my tail just now was a bit …
I don't feel very well.
Gu Qing Shan didn't know what the other cats thought about this, but he clearly didn't like the feeling.
He forced a smile:
"Xiu Xiu, two of the flowers I gave you are Nocturnal, how about you plant them now and come over for dinner?"
"Alright! I'll go right away! "
Xiu Xiu agreed and hurriedly headed towards the garden.
Gu Qing Shan regained his composure, stood still, and returned to his thoughts.
If it really was that Soul Siphon Apocalypse, how did it find Shifu?
Firstly, it was the Apocalypse outside the door.
Secondly, it was summoned by Reneedol that it was able to descend.
Reneedol …
At the time, she was experiencing her own fate, while I was a fruit in the Age of Immemorial.
I don't know what Reneedol actually did.
Tch.
How troublesome.
Gu Qing Shan paced back and forth a few times, then suddenly recalled something.
My own fate …
Indeed, if Reneedol chose to pursue the Heaven sword's fate, she would have definitely seen that scene …
Xie Gu Hong entrusted the orphan girl to him.
Perhaps at that time, the Apocalypse hiding inside Reneedol's body discovered Shifu's presence.
Indeed, Reneedol didn't go too far in the Age of Old, she didn't reach the final moment or enter Xie Dao Ling's dreamscape.
Then the only chance she had to come into contact with Xie Dao Ling was when Xie Gu Hong entrusted the orphan girl to him.
That was it!
Gu Qing Shan stood still and thought for a moment before walking towards Bai Hua Palace.
Halfway there, he suddenly saw a woman standing beside the stone steps.
Qing Rou.
"Are you waiting for me?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Qing Rou nodded and said: "I had Wan Er clean up Bai Hua Palace, I excused myself to get the spirit spring water and came out to wait for you here"
"Junior-martial sister, what's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Qing Rou replied: "The words Shifu said before she left seemed unintentional, but when I think about it, I can't help but feel that there's a deeper meaning to them, and since you've suddenly returned, I feel like I should explain everything to you clearly"
Gu Qing Shan sighed, "No one else noticed it, only you did."
Qing Rou replied: "I've been through so much, my heart is constantly on edge, so of course my senses are sharper than normal people, but also more pessimistic"
"Where's Wan 'er?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"She's different from me" Qing Rou replied.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
The two of them had different personalities, so even if they went through the same thing, their actions and choices were still different.
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: "Junior-martial sister, other than me, your cultivation is the highest in the sect, your mind is sharp, and you're also the best at dealing with people. After I leave, I'll leave the sect in your care"
Qing Rou stepped to one side, not accepting his bow and shook her head: "If you hadn't saved me before, I would've already been killed by Qi Yan, and doing my best for the sect is my responsibility"
Gu Qing Shan smiled and nodded.
"Alright, senior brother, I'll talk to you about proper business" Qing Rou said.
"Hm"
"Before Shifu left, she called all of us together and gave each of us a present, only Xiu Xiu got two"
"I've already seen Xiu Xiu's" Gu Qing Shan said.
Qing Rou continued: "This is what Wan Er and I received, I'll keep it for now"
She took out two masks.
"Yaksha Mask?" Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
"Yes, these two masks are a rare set, called the [Trap of the Shadow Puppet]" Qing Rou explained.
"What are they used for?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"During battle, both Wan Er and I can deal extra damage to the enemy when the other party hits them"
"For example, if I hit the enemy's arm, and Wan Er immediately casts a spell, the spell will also hit the enemy's arm"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Did Shifu say anything?"
Qing Rou replied: "Shifu's exact words to me were: You and Wan Er are like sisters, no matter where you go, the two of you will always be together, even when you cultivate, this set of masks is also very suitable for the two of you to fight together, making it impossible to defend against"
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
Two.
Two … two …
What kind of person is Shifu? She once brought the entire Samsara to escape into the Reality Gate, why would she be afraid of a Soul Stealing Apocalypse?
Under normal circumstances, if a Soul Stealing Apocalypse came to find Shifu, Shifu would most likely fight it and not leave in a hurry.
Then …
Two Apocalypses?
Other than Soul Stealing, there are also powerful Apocalypses following them?
Gu Qing Shan sighed and clasped her fist to Qing Rou: "Junior sister, thank you for telling me this"
Qing Rou replied seriously: "My cultivation is too low, I can only see the general situation, I'll leave everything to senior brother"
Gu Qing Shan nodded and said: "I'll go take a look at the house at the back of the mountain"
"Hm, senior brother, go ahead, I'll see you later" Qing Rou said.
Gu Qing Shan's figure flashed and disappeared.
Qing Rou stood still for a while, looking around with a gaze full of longing.
"Bai Hua sect … such a good place, such good senior brothers and sisters … I really hope everything will be fine"
She muttered in a low voice.
On another side.
Gu Qing Shan had already arrived at the back of the mountain.
Only to see that Qin Xiaolou had already prepared all sorts of cooking utensils, so busy that he forgot about everything else.
"Junior brother, I've prepared everything, let us brothers show off our skills today"
Qin Xiaolou called out.
"Alright, that's exactly what I wanted"
Gu Qing Shan rolled up her sleeves and walked forward, carefully looked through the ingredients, picked out a few of them, and began cooking.
After a while, they finished making a table full of dishes before stopping to rest.
"Right, I heard that before Shifu left, she left each of you a present, what did you get?" Gu Qing Shan casually asked.
"Ah, it's this"
Qin Xiaolou nonchalantly took out a jade tag and said:
"This is called a cultivation rumor log, it's a joint report issued by the various cultivation worlds. It's updated regularly, recording the most recent happenings within the space vortex, allowing everyone to understand the situation of the outside world"
"Seems like Shifu wants you to understand more about the outside world" Gu Qing Shan commented.
"Truthfully, there aren't any major events in the outside world, they're all trivial matters, but there have been a few interesting things that happened in the last few days"
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Wait a minute, my last dish is about to be steamed" Qin Xiaolou gave the jade tag to Gu Qing Shan and hurriedly said: "Take a look first, we can chat after you're done"
He turned around to open the steamer to get the ingredients.
As Gu Qing Shan received the jade tag and scanned it with her inner sight, his expression changed.
Even though he's been through so many battles, he was still so shocked that he forgot to breathe.
He stood there quietly like a wooden sculpture, not moving at all.
Qin Xiaolou continued to put the ingredients on the plate without turning around:
"How is it? It's quite interesting, isn't it? "
"Interesting" Gu Qing Shan mechanically repeated.
Qin Xiaolou turned around and excitedly gestured: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really didn't think there would be such a giant eyeball in this world, capable of destroying the ruins of the Pantheon to the point where it almost reached the legendary Wraith realm of the Samsara"
"Furthermore, I heard that there were some particularly powerful entities who were currently in slumber, but the Era of [Chaos] that they created actually allied with the Wraith realm!"
"That's yesterday and today, junior brother, don't you think it's interesting?"
Gu Qing Shan forced a smile: "It really is"
He touched his forehead, only to find that he was sweating profusely.
The Era of [Chaos] allied with the Wraith realm.
The Frozen Corpse's eyeball went to destroy the Wraith realm world.
These two events were originally quite separate.
They should have formed an alliance first, then after the Eternal Abyss was defeated, the giant eyeball appeared and flew towards the Wraith realm world.
This should have been the normal sequence.
But now, the giant eyeball flying towards the Wraith realm world was yesterday's information.
While the battle between [Order] and [Chaos] was today's information.
The sequence was completely reversed.
And the timeline I'm currently in doesn't match up with the flow of time in the outside world at all …
If the entire Cultivation-type intelligence agency wasn't faulty, then there could only be one answer.
Time.
There's an issue with time.
But what kind of entity could manipulate time?
Gu Qing Shan was full of doubts and fell into thought.
From Xiu Xiu, I saw a dark purple glow, which represented the Spirit Siphoning Apocalypse.
Qing Rou and Wan Er both received a pair of masks. Shifu emphasized on 'two', which means there were two Apocalypses that were chasing after her.
Qin Xiaolou's records here recorded everything that happened in the outside world, which proved that the time in the outside world had already become chaotic.
Then …
Other than the Spirit Siphoning Apocalypse, the second Apocalypse is related to time?
If that's the case, then it would be terrifying.
Because no one can fight against time.
An Apocalypse related to time would definitely not be any weaker than the actual Apocalypse that the white flame skeleton belonged to.
But this Apocalypse wasn't busy destroying the world, but was instead chasing after Shifu!
Gu Qing Shan felt his throat tightening.
He suddenly recalled something.
In the future.
In the future where I came from, the Samsara Clash for Supremacy had yet to begin.
The Samsara was brought into the Reality Gate by Shifu.
… could it be that Shifu is dead?
Gu Qing Shan's mind was in chaos, unable to conceal his presence anymore.
Boom!
A gust of wind erupted from his body.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?" Qin Xiaolou was surprised.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'm sorry, senior brother, I have something urgent to do, please explain it to everyone for me"
"The next time I return, I'll make it up to them"
As soon as he said so, he disappeared without a trace.
