Reading the description on the War God UI, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit glad.
Sure enough, I made the right choice.
This Divine Skill is truly powerful, perhaps even more powerful than the Forgetting River Slash.
It's a guaranteed hit.
As soon as it hits, [Dreamjolt] would be triggered, making it impossible for the target to retaliate.
— — -and the mountain ghosts would also come to possess the target and sacrifice them to the Wraith realm.
Who would've thought that not only would my strength increase after entering the Unpredictable realm, I would also obtain such a powerful Wraith realm Divine Skill.
Bam!
The door suddenly opened.
Zhao Jiuxuan came in and placed a pile of food on the table.
He also brought a gourd of liquor.
"I saw that there were a lot of people in this shop, so I went in and bought some as well — – come, come, let us brothers have a drink first"
Zhao Jiuxuan invited her.
Gu Qing Shan sat down across from Zhao Jiuxuan.
The two of them divided the utensils, poured a glass of liquor, and toasted each other.
"This liquor is quite nice" Gu Qing Shan praised.
"Of course, I'll tell you the truth. These wraith cultivators have conquered countless worlds, their food and clothing are the best in the infinite worlds, how enviable" Zhao Jiuxuan said as he picked up some food.
Gu Qing Shan picked up a pair of chopsticks and tasted each of the dishes.
"Did you see brother Leng on the way?" he asked.
Hearing that, Zhao Jiuxuan poured himself a glass of liquor, drank it all at once, then replied: "I didn't see him, but I heard that he had just returned with Cang Wu Zhang — — - if you ask me, who do you think big brother Leng is? Why does he like to curry favor with that Cang Wu Zhang? How boring"
— — -he's already returned?
The one who returned with Magic Dragon must have been me disguised as Cang Wu Zhang.
After this, I'll have to meet Reneedol in the palace.
I'm getting closer and closer to that point!
— — -the giant eyeball will soon arrive in this world!
Gu Qing Shan took a sip of liquor and sent her voice: "Shroud, how are your preparations going?"
"No problem, I can only wait until that moment" Shroud replied.
"At that time, leave everything else to me and Shifu" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Hm" Shroud replied.
Gu Qing Shan poured another cup of wine for Zhao Jiuxuan and said, "You have to understand Brother Leng. It's not easy for him either."
Zhao Jiuxuan finished his drink and said: "I just can't stand that Cang Wu Zhang — — - if it weren't for big brother Leng's words, I wouldn't have — — -"
He seemed to realize something and didn't continue.
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
What did Magic Dragon say to him?
Gu Qing Shan showed an angry expression and said disdainfully,
"Zhao Jiuxuan, we've been through life and death together for so many years. I thought you treated me as a brother. Who would've thought that you would keep the things that Big Brother Leng told you a secret from me, Chu Feng?"
When Zhao Jiuxuan heard him say this, he felt a little embarrassed and mumbled, "That's right.
"I'm not trying to hide it from you, but I just remembered that big brother Leng specifically told me not to get into a conflict with Cang Wu Zhang"
Gu Qing Shan remained expressionless and didn't look at him, only lowering his head to eat.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Jiuxuan knew that he had taken it to heart, so he put his chopsticks down and said: "Big brother Leng didn't say anything, but there was one time when he cautiously told me not to provoke Cang Wu Zhang, because Cang Wu Zhang had a certain item on him that was the key to a certain secret location. The thing we're after might very well be in that secret location"
"Key?" Gu Qing Shan repeated.
"Actually, it wasn't a key, I heard that it was an Occultism artifact" Zhao Jiuxuan replied.
Cang Wu Zhang …
An Occultism artifact …
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts quickly turned, carefully recalling everything that happened in the Wraith realm.
All of a sudden, he recalled what Magic Dragon had told him and that scene.
Magic Dragon knocked Cang Wu Zhang unconscious and brought him to the mine to meet him.
— — indeed, Magic Dragon had told him about this!
"Cang Wu Zhang once had a fortuitous encounter, during one of his campaigns in a certain world, he obtained an Occultism artifact"
"That Occultism artifact, although it wasn't very useful, it had always been accurate"
These were Magic Dragon's exact words.
Gu Qing Shan silently pondered, then asked Shroud: "Do you remember that thing?"
Shroud awkwardly replied: "How could I not remember, 'what's in one's life will always be there, don't force it'?"
Gu Qing Shan carefully recalled: "That's right — — - the small box that Magic Dragon found on Cang Wu Zhang's body contained a wooden statue, about the length of a finger, depicting an old man with a white beard and a wrinkled face"
Cang Wu Zhang was brought here by Magic Dragon, so this thing was one of Magic Dragon's spoils of war, so I didn't really care too much about it.
Now that I think about it, there's something fishy about this entire thing.
The problem lies with this wooden statue.
— — wait a minute.
Gu Qing Shan paused briefly.
Now that I think about it, when Magic Dragon first met me, he seemed to be a bit different from when I was an Apocalypse Envoy.
His tone, demeanor, actions, behavior, and aura had all changed.
Rather than saying that he was just pretending to be courteous with me, why didn't he directly attack me?
If he was able to predict that the one who left the Wraith realm was me, then he could have set up an even more powerful trap specifically to deal with me.
But instead, he only found me, tricked Cang Wu Zhang, and had me enter the Wraith Temple disguised as Cang Wu Zhang.
— — if Magic Dragon wanted to deal with me, after entering the Wraith Temple, he could have secretly contacted Reneedol and the three Wraith Lords, then set up an inescapable trap to deal with me.
However.
He didn't do that.
In the eyes of Chu Feng and Zhao Jiuxuan, Magic Dragon came to the Wraith realm to find a way to obtain something in order to save their world.
During his meeting with Gu Qing Shan, he was helping Gu Qing Shan infiltrate the Wraith Temple.
— — -but he ended up becoming the Apocalypse Envoy.
This doesn't make sense at all.
Even from the most basic of logic, this is full of contradictions.
Gu Qing Shan became even more cautious.
There must be something that was hiding in the shadows that I didn't know about at the time.
— — what exactly was it?
While eating and drinking, Gu Qing Shan silently pondered.
At some point, he silently called out: "War God UI, do you still remember the notification when I activated the Dance of Death for the first time?"
A line of glowing text appeared from the void of space:
[Remember, I will present to you the following:]
[— — You have heard the music and singing of Occultism]
[As you have completed the 5th stage of the Living Being Sacrificial Dance, the Sacrificial Dance of Three Lives]
[From now on, you may begin to practice the 6th stage of the Sacrificial Dance, the Dance of Death at any time]
[Attention, the Dance of Death is a Dance of War, similar to the 4th stage of the Sacrificial Dance, the Dance of Sword Sacrifice, but much more expressive]
[A certain entity of the Dusty World wishes for you to diligently practice and grasp this stage of the Dance as soon as possible]
Gu Qing Shan put the glass down and lightly sighed.
"What is it?" Zhao Jiuxuan asked.
"It's nothing, I've eaten enough" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
— — -indeed, that wooden statue of Occultism definitely isn't simple.
It was only after listening to this wooden statue's singing that my Dance of Death was fully activated!
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, a sound came from the door.
Bam.
The door was pushed open again. Magic Dragon walked in.
Zhao Jiuxuan stood up in surprise and called out: "Ah, big brother Leng, I heard that you were together with Cang Wu Zhang — —"
Magic Dragon's tone carried a bit of excitement: "He went into the palace to meet the Empress, so I came back to tell you some good news"
"What news?" Zhao Jiuxuan and Gu Qing Shan both asked in unison.
"I found a way"
Magic Dragon replied.
He showed something in his hand to the two of them.
A small box.
When the box was opened, it was a wooden statue that was about the length of a finger, depicting an old man with a white beard and a wrinkled face.
As Gu Qing Shan looked at the statue, her heart couldn't help but jump.
Indeed, for the sake of caution, I also touched this statue and used the War God UI to check its properties.
There shouldn't have been any issues.
But now, something seems to have gone beyond my and the War God UI's expectations.
Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked: "Brother Leng, what's this thing used for?"
Magic Dragon replied: "This is an Occultism treasure that originally belonged to the Wraith Lord, but was now given to Cang Wu Zhang. He carries it with him at all times, its use is to tell you if the time is right or not"
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
— — -indeed.
"It's quite useful, did you borrow it from Cang Wu Zhang?" Zhao Jiuxuan asked.
「 That's right, I've borrowed it. Right now, we need to hurry up and do something 」 the Demon Dragon said.
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Do you remember that the Wraith realm originally had two Divine Armaments?" Magic Dragon asked.
"I do, a talisman and a longbow" Zhao Jiuxuan replied.
Magic Dragon continued: "For countless years, both the talisman and the longbow had always gone wrong — — - either the artifact spirit went missing, or the Divine Armaments themselves went missing, so the Wraith realm has never had a world-stabilizing Divine Armament"
Gu Qing Shan and Zhao Jiuxuan both nodded.
Magic Dragon took a deep breath and solemnly said: "This is because there is something that won't allow them to return"
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I don't know either. In short, there is one thing that can cause the two world-suppressing divine artifacts to have inexplicable problems, causing them to be unable to return to their original positions. I have tried many times and found many methods, but in the end, it must be an even more powerful weapon," the Demon Dragon said.
Zhao Jiuxuan excitedly asked: "Which means, as long as we obtain that item, we'll be able to save our world?"
"Brother Leng should know where that weapon is — — - so this Occultism treasure will be able to tell us when to obtain it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Magic Dragon lightly nodded with a reminiscent look in his eyes.
He seemed a bit emotional as he slowly explained: "In the past, there were two Divine Armaments, the main body of the weapons of the Eternal Abyss, the Evil-suppressing weapon at the bottom of the Endless Abyss, the Protector of Extinction, the Sword of Destiny, and the Key to infinite worlds, known as the twin swords Heaven and Earth"
"The one who obtained those two swords had become incredibly powerful"
"After going through countless trials and tribulations over the past few years, I've finally found a Divine Armament even more powerful than the twin swords Heaven and Earth"
"I will catch up to that person's footsteps, and surpass him — –"
