Gu Qing Shan appeared in the darkness of the void.
"Where are we going?" Lola asked.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Key of the Wind in her hand and replied: "We can't run around randomly anymore, we need to wait for the Key of the Wind's spirit to return to the key before we decide what to do next"
— — who would've thought that the Reality Gate would be hidden at the bottom of the Eternal Abyss, guarded by an unknown demon.
I still can't imagine that the twin swords Heaven and Earth would be able to deal with such a demon.
He suddenly thought of something and took out the Book of Seabed, asking: "Do you know about the demon at the bottom of the Eternal Abyss?"
The Book of Seabed replied: 「 It doesn't belong to the void, and no one has ever seen it before, so I don't know about it 」
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "Didn't you claim to know all knowledge?"
「 Can something that no one has ever seen be considered knowledge? 」 the Book of Seabed asked in return.
That's true, but — —
"But Shroud has seen that demon before, otherwise, how would he know about its existence?" Gu Qing Shan refuted.
「 He has seen that demon, but it's not a human, it's an Apocalypse 」 the Book of Seabed replied.
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
At this point, the Key of the Wind in his hand suddenly jumped up and chirped in joy.
The Book of Seabed and the Gold Coin also flew up with it, enthusiastically responding.
The Key of the Wind circled around Gu Qing Shan twice, then spoke in human language: 「 How unbelievable, someone actually managed to gather three of the Four Saint Pillars. I'm guessing that you're going to search for the manifested Soul Artifact of the Saint Pillar of Fire? 」
Gu Qing Shan nodded in greeting, then turned to the Book of Seabed: "Indeed, but before that, I want to make sure of that question first"
The Book of Seabed sincerely replied: 「 I've already told you, unless someone has seen it, or I personally see it, I wouldn't be able to obtain the corresponding knowledge 」
Lola tilted her head in thought, then cut in: "Gu Qing Shan, let's go take a look at that demon right now"
"You mean — —"
"Indeed, we can use [Infinite Worlds' Shelter] — — - this is the rarest ability of our Bramble Bird race, even the world rulers of the Dusty World couldn't discover us, so I'm guessing that demon can't see us either"
"… It's worth a shot."
After saying that, Gu Qing Shan grabbed the Key of the Wind.
"I want to go to the bottom of the Eternal Abyss — — no, I don't want to go to the bottom directly, just get close to that place, can you take us there?" he asked.
The Key of the Wind replied, "Of course you can. I can take you anywhere, but every time you use me, you'll have to pay with your lifespan."
"Lifespan?"
"Yes, this is the rule of the Saint Wind Pillar, it cannot be changed."
"How much do you need?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 After the Frozen Corpse's hair and eyeball left, the Eternal Abyss had already been completely destroyed — — - it isn't a special place, so you only need to pay a year of your lifespan, and I will take you there 」 Key of the Wind said.
Gu Qing Shan's brows immediately smoothed out.
For an existence like him, one year of lifespan was negligible.
"Deal, Lola, hold the umbrella first!" Gu Qing Shan said.
Lola immediately opened the small flower umbrella and covered the two people's heads.
「 Are you ready? 」 Key of the Wind asked.
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan and Lola answered at once.
The Key of the Wind abruptly gave off a blue light that illuminated the dark void of space.
It flew up and drew the outline of a door in the void of space.
「 Open it, and you'll immediately reach the bottom of the Eternal Abyss — — - but before that, please keep me safe, I don't want to be eaten by the demons 」 Key of the Wind said.
"Hm"
Gu Qing Shan took the Key of the Wind and hid it on her body before pushing the door open.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the blue light enveloped Gu Qing Shan and Lola.
The two of them disappeared without a trace.
…
The bottom of the Eternal Abyss.
Without any warning, Gu Qing Shan and Lola had arrived.
As far as the eye could see, they were surrounded by necrotic red muscles that gave off a faint red glow, reflecting a blood-red color.
These muscles were no longer wriggling strangely like before, nor were they giving off a thick layer of poisonous fog.
And there was no sign of the Abyssal form.
— — -other than the red glow that the muscles themselves gave off, there was no sign of life.
Key of the Wind's voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan's mind:
「 Fly downwards, in a few minutes, you'll reach the bottom of the Eternal Abyss 」
Gu Qing Shan looked down.
The red, withered muscles formed a large ring that extended all the way down into the bottomless darkness.
Lola silently moved closer to Gu Qing Shan and whispered: "This place feels so creepy"
Gu Qing Shan consoled her: "It's ok, the Frozen Corpses have already left, there are no other dangers here — — - aside from that demon"
"Let's go, I don't want to stay here any longer, I feel uncomfortable" Lola said.
"Hold the umbrella, we're going to take a look" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Hm" Lola replied.
The two of them leapt down and flew downwards.
Not too long after, the last of the red glow also disappeared. The darkness had completely swallowed their figures.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silent darkness.
It continued until Gu Qing Shan and Lola slowly slowed down their descent.
A gigantic silhouette appeared in the deep darkness.
It was motionless, as if it was sleeping.
The size of this entity was unimaginable. Standing in front of it, Gu Qing Shan and Lola were like two specks of dust floating above the head of a Great Ancient Dragon.
As far as they could see, they could only see a few scales on its body.
— — -fortunately, it wasn't alerted.
"Is that a dragon?" Lola sent her voice and asked.
"It shouldn't be, I've never seen such a gigantic dragon before" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Lola was trembling a bit.
She held her breath, sat down on Gu Qing Shan's shoulder, and held the umbrella tightly with both hands.
Seeing that she had regained control of her emotions, Gu Qing Shan took out the Book of Seabed.
"Book of Seabed, do you see it?" he whispered.
"I do" the Book of Seabed replied.
"Do you have any knowledge about it now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The question is, what do you want to know about this demon? Is it its strength? Characteristics? Or why it wants to guard that gate? "the Book of Seabed asked.
"Can't you tell me everything?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"No, I can't tell you that much. From my experience, this thing isn't a native lifeform of the void, so it might be able to sense that we're talking about it. If it wants to see what we are — — - once it has that thought, the consequences will be unimaginable" the Book of Seabed replied.
It then added: "Of course, I don't know if this experience is correct or not. After all, the knowledge I have here can only be manifested for both you and I to know if you're willing to pay the price"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Since the Book of Seabed said that, it means that I need to be a bit more cautious.
Then, what kind of information should I obtain about this demon?
Gu Qing Shan silently thought for a bit, then sent her voice: "I want to know its history"
"History?" the Book of Seabed asked.
"That's right, no matter what characteristics it has, what secrets and abilities it has, it's not something I can win against, so I want to know where it came from. That's the most valuable information I have right now" Gu Qing Shan replied
"You need to pay 90% of your wealth" the Book of Seabed replied.
"That's fine" Gu Qing Shan replied.
A second later, he sensed a slight movement from the ring.
The large amount of treasures stored inside the ring disappeared.
At the same time, the Book of Seabed automatically flipped open to reveal lines of human language:
"Celestial Ruler of Six Paths (Clone)."
"This is the true body of the Celestial Emperor of Six Paths. He originally came from the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and he arrived at this world gate a long time ago. He immediately sensed something special about this place, and so he stood guard here."
[He does not allow anyone to approach this place, because he is guarding the secret of this place]
[Special note: This is only a newly manifested phantom that only has 10% of the Emperor Of Heaven's power — — - the true body of the Emperor Of Heaven is nowhere to be found]
Gu Qing Shan quickly finished reading through these lines of text.
— — was the Samsara Emperor Of Heaven the Emperor of the Heaven realm from back then?
If this was only a phantom, then where did the true body go?
"Who would've thought that this Samsara guy would have already made arrangements here so early on" Lola sighed emotionally.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "The Samsara is the ultimate weapon, someone who was able to become the Emperor Of Heaven within the Samsara is definitely not simple, so you should never underestimate them"
After saying that, he also felt a bit more cautious.
— — -if I recall carefully, countless things have happened within the space vortex in history.
But the people of the Samsara have all fallen into slumber.
Are they really slumbering?
Or have they been silently watching over this place, silently waiting for the Samsara to complete its evolution?
— — only a phantom.
The true body isn't here.
Where exactly did it go?
The Thousand Dragons Ancestor was able to activate the Fundamental Dragon Hex to force the Samsara Contenders into an extended state.
But what if there were some people who had been hiding in the shadows from the very beginning, coldly watching without showing up?
Various thoughts appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
He suddenly thought of something.
Definitely …
Don't let that be the case …
He immediately asked, "Book of the Seabed, tell me something else. If the Six Paths of Reincarnation are about to open the Era of Strife, but there is a Saint Chosen One who refuses to open it, is there any way to bypass this person?"
[You don't have much wealth left, I want all of your remaining wealth] the Book of Seabed replied.
"Take it!" Gu Qing Shan shouted.
Lines of text appeared on the Book of Seabed:
[As long as you are in a different Space-Time, or within a different space vortex, you can avoid the uncooperative Saint Chosen and directly activate the Samsara Clash for Supremacy]
Gu Qing Shan's heart slowly sank.
— — -things are starting to look more and more like that.
He immediately took out Key of the Wind and said: "Take me to the other Reality Gate, the place surrounded by countless Apocalypses, where my Shifu is currently guarding!"
[5 years of lifespan] Key of the Wind replied.
"Deal, quickly take me there!" Gu Qing Shan urged him.
Key of the Wind abruptly gave off a blue glow that formed the outline of a gate in the darkness.
Gu Qing Shan immediately put his hand on the gate.
Instantly, both he and Lola disappeared from the bottom of the Abyss.
…
In the void of space, the two boundless gates were rumbling.
It sounded like something was knocking on the gate from the outside.
Inside the gate.
Gu Qing Shan abruptly appeared.
"Shifu!" he shouted.
His voice drifted through the air, echoing very far within the vast space vortex.
No response.
"Strange, isn't your Shifu supposed to be guarding the Reality Gate here?" Lola asked.
"Shifu!" Gu Qing Shan shouted again.
Still no response.
— — -xie Dao Ling was no longer here.
Instead, the two gates were shaking intensely, as if they were about to be pushed open by something.
"The gate! Gu Qing Shan! The gate is about to be opened! "Lola hurriedly said.
