While talking to Xie Dao Ling, Gu Qing Shan released a black glow from his body.
Layers of black light converged to form a giant vertical pupil behind his back.
"Go, help that Apocalypse fight against the Emperor Of Heaven"
Gu Qing Shan ordered in a low voice.
The vertical pupil blinked a few times before disappearing from his back.
It was now that Gu Qing Shan turned to Xie Dao Ling and sincerely told her: "This can only buy us some time — — the problem just now was with that black rope, it's too weak to fight against the gu insect that imprisoned you, is that right?"
Xie Dao Ling smiled a bit and said:
"Indeed, the more powerful a treasure, the more power it contains, but where would we find such a treasure in such a short amount of time?"
Gu Qing Shan gritted her teeth: "It's three against one right now, I don't believe we can't solve this problem"
"Three against one?" Xie Dao Ling didn't understand.
"Indeed"
Gu Qing Shan took out a black book from her chest pocket.
— — the Book of Seafloor.
"Tell me immediately, what treasures are in this Elemental War that my Shifu can use against the Emperor Of Heaven's gu insect" Gu Qing Shan said.
[You owe me one day's worth of money] the Book of Seafloor lazily replied.
"No problem" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Book of Seafloor automatically flipped open to display lines of text on its page.
— — -indeed, the Emperor Of Heaven has an artifact manifested from the Four Saint Pillars: The Flame Spirit Pendant.
But the Earth God's coin, the Book of Seafloor, and the Key of the Wind, the other three Saint Pillar Soul Artifacts were all on Gu Qing Shan!
Gu Qing Shan focused her gaze on the page of the book, only to see that it said:
"There are many unique treasures hidden in the Elemental Battlefield, but almost no one has ever discovered them, because they are all treasures sealed away by the Apocalypse, the spoils of war of the Apocalypse, something that not even the Samsara can do anything about"
"Among the countless treasures, only one meets the requirements."
[At the foot of the snowy mountain to your east, there is an Apocalyptic Statue. Open its base, and you will see a long tunnel. Follow the tunnel all the way to the end and defeat all the terrifying monsters along the way. Follow the left, right, left, up, down, down, and you will reach a secret room. There are three hundred Apocalyptic monsters guarding the secret room, but there is only one treasure chest in the secret room, so it is very safe —]
"There is a piece of divine armor hidden in the treasure chest. It will provide your master with enough power to seal the silver worms on her."
Gu Qing Shan glanced through it and shouted, "Key of the Wind."
Hum –
A key glowing with green light appeared in the void.
It was the Passage Key forged by Gu Qing Shan!
It was also the materialized soul armament of the Four Saint Pillars!
Gu Qing Shan said, "I want to go to the place mentioned in the Book of the Seabed. Name your price."
Key of the Wind said curiously, "You can fight your way there yourself."
"I don't have much time, I don't have the time to slowly fight against those Apocalyptic monsters" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Give me 10 days of your lifespan and I'll take you there" Key of the Wind said.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Deal!"
— — what you need to use Key of the Wind is vitality.
Key of the Wind fell into Gu Qing Shan's hand and lightly poked the void of space.
The void of space opened up to reveal a green wind gate.
Gu Qing Shan carried Xie Dao Ling and stepped through the gate.
In an instant, he landed in a quiet and spacious room.
A chest was placed in the middle of the room.
Gu Qing Shan took a few steps forward and lightly opened the chest.
Immediately, a bright green light illuminated the entire room.
A series of hesitant footsteps could be heard from outside the room.
The monsters seemed to have noticed it!
Oom — —
All of a sudden, Emperor Heaven Ye's deafening voice resounded through the thick earth.
"Xie Dao Ling, do you think you can escape from me?"
The entire underground ruin started to shake.
The sound of footsteps outside the door stopped.
The monster shouted: "A Samsara Taoist is attacking, all of you, attack!"
"Attack!"
"Kill that person!"
The monsters roared and flew outside.
The secret room returned to silence.
"Tch, what a coincidence" Xie Dao Ling smiled.
"Before he arrives, Shifu, quickly try this armor" Gu Qing Shan said.
He took out the armor and gave it to Xie Dao Ling.
Sensing it, Xie Dao Ling's frown slowly relaxed and said: "Indeed, it can conceal the presence of Gu insects, making it so that Emperor Heaven Ye can't sense me again"
She stroked the armor and chanted in a low voice:
"Light and darkness are born and extinguished, all Laws are obscured"
The armor instantly crumbled to dust, but a faint green glow manifested into a thin thread that flew onto her wrist.
The silver rope immediately sensed it, but didn't turn into an insect to fight it. Instead, it slid down from Xie Dao Ling's wrist, coiled around the green thread, and turned into a silver thread.
The silver and green bracelet on Xie Dao Ling's snow-white wrist looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Xie Dao Ling waited for a brief moment, then smiled: "This Gu insect is quite a picky eater, it looked down on the black rope but was quite satisfied with this armor"
"You sealed it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes, it will take a few days for it to consume the power of the armor. During this time, I won't be sensed by Emperor Heaven Ye" Xie Dao Ling replied.
Oom — — -
The trembling outside was getting stronger.
The Celestial Thearch was coming!
Gu Qing Shan waved her hand and took Key of the Wind: "Go to the human realm"
"10 days of lifespan" Key of the Wind replied.
"Deal, by the way, pick a secluded place" Gu Qing Shan said.
"No problem!"
The azure key came into contact with the void, and a door of light and shadow immediately opened.
"Let's go, Shifu" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Is this a treasure from the void?" Xie Dao Ling looked at Key of the Wind and asked.
"Yes, the Four Saint Pillars of the void" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Xie Dao Ling pondered: "No wonder I didn't succeed when I wanted to destroy that book and only managed to erase your debt in the end"
She followed Gu Qing Shan into the gate.
The two of them disappeared from the secret room.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
The battle outside calmed down.
A few more breaths later.
Emperor Heaven Ye's furious roar resounded across the entire world.
"Gone? How is that possible!? "
…
The human realm.
On a tall mountain.
Gu Qing Shan and Xie Dao Ling appeared.
"Hoh — – we're safe"
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
Xie Dao Ling didn't say anything and looked at the night sky.
"What's the matter, Shifu?" Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
"The main 5-Elements have been determined, the mutated 5-Elements Chaos Purgatory is about to appear, the Saint Chosens must win against the entire Chaos Purgatory" Xie Dao Ling replied.
"— — -Wind, Lightning, Light, Dark Sound?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes, look" Xie Dao Ling pointed at the sky and said.
A galaxy appeared in the night sky.
All the stars in the sky turned into meteors and fell towards the ground.
The entire world was illuminated by the countless meteors, turning it into daylight.
All the meteors silently landed on the ground, creating bottomless craters.
"These craters all lead to the 5-Elements Purgatory, there are other problems that the Samsara can't solve — — - this is also the Samsara's test for the Saint Chosens" Xie Dao Ling explained.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Suddenly, their expressions changed as they both looked towards the mountain stream.
A monster covered in pale green will-o '-the-wisps rose from the ground, chasing after a meteor.
Xie Dao Ling thought for a bit and said:
"Qing Shan, aside from mortals and cultivators, there are also countless demons and wraiths in the human realm. They originally resided in various Samsara fragments, but now that the Samsara has fused, they are also about to come out"
"Demons and wraiths? Do they want to fight against humanity? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"They look down on humanity, but they know a few secrets of the 5-Elements Purgatory — — - only with their participation will it be easier to win against the 5-Elements Purgatory" Xie Dao Ling replied.
"How is the 5-Elements Purgatory compared to the 5-Elements Battlefield?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"It's more dangerous!" Xie Dao Ling replied.
She became serious and said: "Disciple, now is the time. You must summon all the Saint Chosens of my sect to fight against the 5-Elements Purgatory together!"
Gu Qing Shan's expression froze.
"Shifu, our sect's situation is a bit unique"
"Hm? What do you mean? "
"There are fewer people"
"— — -understandable, even the me in the future would rather have no disciples than shoddy ones. Right, how many people do we have?"
"Five"
"… Only five?"
"Hm"
"Five Saint Chosens, that's a bit too few …"
"Shifu, I meant five disciples, as for the Saint Chosens, I'm guessing that I'll be the only one"
"… It might be too hard for you to do it alone"
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and said: "Shifu, wait a bit"
"What do you want to do?" Xie Dao Ling asked.
"I've actually come to the Samsara very late, so I'm a lot behind the others and know too little; Shifu, you've also been sealed away for countless years — — - neither of us have any reliable information" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Other than that" Xie Dao Ling admitted.
"That's why I need to gather some information first"
"How?"
"I have an idea, let's try it out"
While saying so, Gu Qing Shan walked out and stopped a few dozen feet away from Xie Dao Ling.
He silently activated the Righteous Craft of Heaven.
— — -the Tribulation begins!
In the sky.
Dark clouds quickly gathered above Gu Qing Shan's head.
Xie Dao Ling held herself back and said nothing.
Countless sparks appeared from the void of space.
Faint noises could be heard all around her.
Something seems to be coming.
And quite a few of them!
Xie Dao Ling's gaze focused and shouted: "This is a Wind Tribulation!"
A strange laughter resounded from within the clouds: "It is indeed a Wind Tribulation, ahahaha, this brat didn't face his Tribulation earlier or later, he chose to face his Tribulation right when we reincarnated, he's dead!"
"Ahahaha, that's right, he's dead!"
Countless voices echoed in agreement.
The Tribulation clouds parted.
Numerous ferocious wraiths descended from the sky, surrounding Gu Qing Shan in layers.
Their killing intent rose to the sky — — -
Then they disappeared!
"Ah? Isn't that old Gu? "a black demonic creature covered in flames called out.
Another large shadow rose from the ground, looking down at Gu Qing Shan:
"That's right, it's him!"
"Ah, old Gu, it's been so many years since we last met"
"That's right, I wanted to drink a few times but couldn't find him, I wonder where he went"
A handsome man walked out from the wind and laughed: "Old Gu, where have you been getting rich lately? Why did you only gather here now that the Samsara has been reactivated? "
— — -this was an Asura.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and greeted the ghosts, demons, and Asuras.
Whether it was in Triste's collection world or the Age of Old, he had made friends with many ghosts and demons.
"I've been too busy with business so I couldn't leave, please don't blame me" he said apologetically.
Hearing him say that, everyone chuckled.
Although they would still be doing the same without Gu Qing Shan, he was a person who spoke well and did things on the spot, so getting along with him was always a pleasant experience.
— — -and sometimes, he could even bring you along to get rich.
Who wouldn't want to make a friend like him?
"Let's be serious, the Five Elements Purgatory has been activated, do you want to play with me?" Gu Qing Shan shrugged.
"Did you make any money?" a Balrog asked.
All the monsters went silent and stared at Gu Qing Shan.
"Of course, I've never let my brothers run around empty-handed, haven't I?" Gu Qing Shan casually replied.
Standing at a distance, Xie Dao Ling felt her face stiffening.
— — this brat doesn't have a single helper in the sect, doesn't know anything about the outside world, and doesn't even know how to challenge the Five Elements Purgatory, yet he's already making promises to a bunch of evil creatures.
Does he really think I'm an idiot?
Xie Dao Ling looked at the ghosts.
They were already cheering — — -
"Together, together! Together! "
"There's always money to be made by following old Gu, ahaha!"
"Right, to celebrate today's reunion, let's have a feast first!"
"Let's drink our fill, then head to the Five Elements Purgatory!"
"Agreed"
"Let's not go home until we're drunk!"
The ghosts and demons were shouting and cheering.
The air was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
