Gu Qing Shan's inner sight scanned through the empty space inside the Inventory Bag.
The scripture jade tag was gone!
Just like that, the mountain-like cultivation technique jade slip was silently taken away by someone.
Gu Qing Shan had reached this point, becoming a top-level sword cultivator within the space vortex, yet someone had taken something from her without her noticing. That was completely unbelievable.
There were very few people in this world who could do this.
And that person only took Bai Hua sect's jade tag.
Shifu.
It must have been her.
I really don't know when Shifu did this!
Alright.
The truth of this matter is clear.
Shifu really did come.
Gu Qing Shan's lips curled up a bit, slightly adjusting the yaksha mask with her hand as she leisurely walked on the long path.
The last time I joined forces with Shifu was during the Divine Tribulation on Mount Sumeru.
He didn't know what level his master's strength had reached.
However, since she's hiding among the wraiths and doesn't come out easily, she must still be wary of the Apocalypse.
Otherwise, she would've come to discuss with me how to slaughter those Apocalypses.
Just like how we discussed how to capture a phoenix as a mount on the Divine Mountain.
"Greetings, sir Wraith Might"
Gu Qing Shan stepped aside and bowed to the passing Wraith Might.
After they left, he continued to walk forward.
It was already noon, so the Wraith Temple once again became busy.
At some unknown point, everyone found out about a certain matter.
The giant eyeball was still flying towards the Wraith realm, it wasn't too far away.
Everyone hurriedly passed down various orders.
A few particularly powerful wraiths and Angels received military orders and quickly left the Wraith Temple, heading towards the sky.
Gu Qing Shan kept walking and stopping, occasionally moving to the side to let others go first.
It took him a bit longer before he finally returned to the resting room.
"You're finally back, but big brother Leng still hasn't returned, what now!?"
Zhao Jiuxuan's voice came.
He had already stood up from the hot spring, donned his cultivation clothes, but was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
"What's the rush?" Gu Qing Shan slowly asked.
"No, it's almost time for the Ghost Lord to summon Brother Leng, but Brother Leng hasn't returned yet!" Zhao Jiuxuan said.
Gu Qing Shan could not help but laugh, "Big Brother Leng is meticulous in his work, he never makes any mistakes. I believe he will be here soon."
A voice came from behind them.
"Yes, Zhao Jiuxuan, you should learn from Chu Feng and train your willpower."
Magic Dragon.
He was back.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Brother Leng, is everything going well?"
"Hmm, I'll go see the Wraith Lord first, we'll talk later."
After Magic Dragon finished speaking, he nodded at the two and left in a hurry.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a moment and understood.
Magic Dragon had kidnapped Cang Wu Zhang.
After meeting the Wraith Lord, he would have tricked Cang Wu Zhang into leaving, knocked him unconscious, and used [Mystery of All Beings Equal].
A few hours later, he would return with his past self.
"See, didn't I tell you there was nothing?" Gu Qing Shan told Zhao Jiuxuan.
He sat down on a stone bench next to the hot spring, poured himself a cup of tea, and was about to drink it when he stopped.
Wait a minute.
Why do I feel like something isn't right?
Gu Qing Shan carefully sensed his own body, then reached his inner sight into his Inventory Bag.
Only to find that Bai Hua sect's scripture jade tag had returned without him noticing!
Without anyone noticing!
Gu Qing Shan froze.
He went through all the wraiths he met on his way back and forth, but couldn't find anything suspicious about any of them.
This really is …
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh, feeling a sense of respect in his heart.
I'm a knowledgeable person, having gone through countless battles, met countless powerful entities, as well as witnessed all sorts of strange occurrences.
But when it comes to 'taking without asking', no one has ever surpassed Shifu.
If the jade tag was returned, there must be a reason.
Gu Qing Shan mused, then focused his inner sight on the jade tag.
Immediately, Xie Dao Ling's voice came from the jade tag:
"Qing Shan, to avoid alerting the enemy, we won't be meeting for now"
"Shifu can see that you've entered the Huang Quan Saint Selection and have the qualifications to become a Wraith Saint Selection. As a cultivator, being able to obtain the qualifications to become a Saint Selection of two worlds at the same time is unprecedented, Shifu is truly happy for you"
"There's still a bit of time, I'll teach you the Heart Hex, you must strive to surpass Star River Saint realm and enter Unfathomable realm"
"Unfathomable is the first step of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy"
Crack!
The entire jade tag split open, two sprites of light, one golden and one orange, flew out and hovered above the jade tag.
As Gu Qing Shan scanned it with his inner sight, the two sprites of light followed his inner sight and entered his Thought Sea.
The orange sprite exploded, turning into countless words that appeared in Gu Qing Shan's Thought Sea.
As Gu Qing Shan took a closer look, he saw that it was Xie Dao Ling's handwriting:
"From the Star River Saint realm onwards, living beings of the Samsara can enter the Unfathomable realm"
"At this realm, spirit energy will turn into Samsara Origin power, their strength will be immeasurable"
"This is the Samsara's compassionate will, using the power of Unfathomable to protect the lives of living beings of the Samsara"
"Only those who participate in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, regardless of their opponent's strength, with unparalleled bravery and determination, will be able to break through the encirclement and become a Samsara"
The words slowly faded away, replaced by a scripture that appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
At the same time, a line of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[You've obtained the Samsara Heart Hex of the 72 Words]
[By sacrificing a Divine Skill of a Chosen Path as well as a Samsara fragment, you will be able to enter the Unfathomable realm with this hex]
[Once you succeed, no one will be able to check your strength]
[From now on, your strength will be directly proportional to the power of the Samsara you control, the more Samsara fragments you control, the stronger you will become]
[Description: This is the first step of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy]
Gu Qing Shan silently memorized the hex, then looked at the golden dot of light in his Thought Sea.
A line of glowing text appeared:
[After being isolated by 36 Immortal Arts, no one will be able to detect the existence of the Huang Quan fragment, not even the Apocalypse]
Gu Qing Shan's eyes appeared emotional.
Shifu had already prepared a fragment of Huang Quan for him.
Shifu wasn't a Chosen Saint of Huang Quan, so she didn't provide him with a Huang Quan Divine Skill.
But Gu Qing Shan had already grasped three Huang Quan Divine Skills.
[Huang Quan's Guide], [Forgetting River Slash], [Wraith Devour].
With the hex, Divine Skill, and the fragment, he could now break through to the Unfathomable realm!
"Good! Good! Good! With the war at hand, it's extremely important for me to increase my strength. If I don't try, not only would I disappoint Shifu, I wouldn't be satisfied either "
"I must succeed this time!"
Gu Qing Shan made up his mind and focused on comprehending the hex.
He carried the power of multiple dragons, as well as the Death God's Authority in the River of Life and Death, having traveled with Shroud until now, he had gained a lot of secret knowledge.
It could be said that having reached this point, Gu Qing Shan's understanding of power and Laws had already surpassed normal Professionists.
He didn't need to expend any Soul Points at all, using his own abilities alone, he was able to comprehend the true meaning of the hex.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly looked up and told Zhao Jiuxuan: "I went out for a bit, but I didn't see anything suitable to eat, Jiuxuan, how about you go take a look on the street?"
Outside the Wraith Temple was a bustling street.
After a while, the current Gu Qing Shan would be disguised as Cang Wu Zhang and return from the warp formation at the end of the street together with Magic Dragon.
"Alright, wait for me" Zhao Jiuxuan replied.
He opened the door and left.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes, stood up, and lightly walked around the hot spring.
All of a sudden.
A crimson blood aura and a desolate yellowish mist manifested from the void of space, intertwining as they followed behind Gu Qing Shan.
The crimson blood aura was a manifestation of the Wraith's tool, while the yellowish mist was a manifestation of the Huang Quan realm.
The two auras became more and more entangled, finally turning into two mystical runes that flew into Gu Qing Shan's head and stably entered his Thought Sea.
"Offering … Wraith Devour"
Gu Qing Shan pondered, then placed the fragment of Huang Quan realm in his Thought Sea into the Hex.
At the same time, a notification popped up on the War God UI:
[Through offering, your Spirit of Speech Divine Skill: Wraith Devour, as well as the fragment of Huang Quan realm in your possession have been returned to the Samsara Origin]
A few moments later.
Another line of glowing text appeared:
[You've achieved an unfathomable realm]
[You've completed the Saint Selection and obtained the initial qualifications to participate in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy]
[Thanks to your advancement, you may now choose a Thaumaturgy and turn it into a Huang Quan realm or Wraith realm Divine Skill]
