The banquet didn't begin.
[True Luck] hadn't ended yet, every minute and second was precious, so Gu Qing Shan definitely wouldn't waste her time on a banquet.
The wraiths were all very smart, so as soon as Gu Qing Shan came up with an excuse, they naturally said that they'll meet again next time.
— — -the Five Elements Purgatory was about to open, and Old Gu was a Saint's Chosen, so he naturally had a lot of things to take care of. The wraiths understood this very well.
After discussing the Five Elements Purgatory for a bit, they quickly dispersed.
Xie Dao Ling silently stood at a distance, waiting for Gu Qing Shan to return before she spoke:
"Besides having the demons' help, you also need to enter the Five Elements Purgatory as soon as possible to seize the initiative"
"Is there a need to rush?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
"The Samsara was broken once, so now that it has evolved again, it will become even stronger than before. Only by becoming one of the most outstanding people will the Samsara allow you to wield its power" Xie Dao Ling replied.
"Then what about you?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The Emperor Of Heaven must be looking for me everywhere — — - seems like I'll need to find a secluded place to hide" Xie Dao Ling replied.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell onto her wrist. Seeing the bright-colored bracelet on it, she couldn't help but nod.
If it weren't for [Luck], if it weren't for the Book of Seabed quickly finding the spoils of war from the Apocalypse — — the armor that originally belonged to the Samsara, if it weren't for the Key of the Wind that opened a door, the two of them might have already been caught by the Emperor Of Heaven.
Currently, the Emperor Of Heaven is the strongest.
He also has the Flame Spirit pendant.
For the sake of safety, I should hide first, and it's not a good idea to meet up with my other Shifu.
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts quickly turned and suddenly spoke to the void of space: "All three of you, come out, I have something to discuss with you"
The Book of Seabed and Key of the Wind appeared at the same time.
With a flash of golden light, the Earth God coin also flew out from his hand and hovered in the air along with the other two 4-pillar Soul Artifacts.
Gu Qing Shan crossed her arms and grumbled, "I say, that's enough. Three of you can't even beat one, and you're being chased everywhere. Don't you feel ashamed?"
The Book of the Seabed retorted, "You can't blame us for this — the Soul Artifacts of the Four Saint Pillars have different roles to begin with. For example, my ability is to record knowledge. If you want me to fight, of course I can't."
Key of the Wind continued: 「 There's also another important point. You are the Earth God, so you can utilize the Earth God coin's power to its fullest, but you aren't the Wind God or the Water God, so you can't use the power of wind and water to their fullest potential 」
Ding dong!
The Gold Coin buzzed in agreement.
Gu Qing Shan fell into deep thought.
A Soul Tool must have a master.
It was just like how a weapon needed someone to wield it in order to display its true power.
There was also a more important point …
He pondered for a while and gradually made up his mind.
Now that he was shrouded in True Luck, he could be said to be successful in every endeavor. It was the right time to do this!
Gu Qing Shan cleared her throat and spoke to the Book of the Seabed and Key of the Wind.
"If that's the case, how about I find a new master for you?"
The Book of the Seabed immediately refuted: 「 If you're talking about the woman next to me, I refuse — — she almost tore me apart with her bare hands just now! 」
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to turn to Key of the Wind.
Key of the Wind replied: 「 You're my creator, so I'll give you face and see if she's qualified to be my master 」
Key of the Wind flew out and circled around Xie Dao Ling a few times.
While circling, it continuously unleashed a blue glow of wind that enveloped Xie Dao Ling.
Something miraculous happened.
As soon as Xie Dao Ling was illuminated by it, spirit flowers of various colors bloomed around her, giving off a solemn and mysterious feeling.
Key of the Wind flew back and told Gu Qing Shan: 「 Her spirituality soars to the heavens. Although she's only an incomplete soul, if she can escape the cage and fuse back into a complete body, her strength will be immeasurable — — I'm very pleased 」
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Key of the Wind is a Space-type 4-pillar Soul Artifact, if it accepts Xie Dao Ling as its master, then her safety will be guaranteed.
The Emperor Of Heaven won't be able to catch her again!
This way, I can enter the Elemental Purgatory without worry.
"During the master recognition ceremony, will the Emperor Of Heaven notice our location?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 He won't, this is a matter of the 4-pillar Soul Artifact, it has nothing to do with the other Soul Artifact holders — — of course, you're an Earth God, so we can't chase you away even if you stay here 」 the Book of the Seabed replied.
Gu Qing Shan's heart calmed down.
"Shifu, this Key of the Wind in my hand wants to recognize you as its master. As you can see, it can open any door and go anywhere, but you have to pay with your lifeforce" Gu Qing Shan said.
"I can see that, since you're one of the 4 Saint Pillars of the void, you can lend me a hand — — - come!" Xie Dao Ling called out to Key of the Wind.
Key of the Wind lightly vibrated and obediently fell into her hand.
Something happened — — -
Lines of crimson text suddenly appeared in the void of space:
[You will witness the following ceremony:]
[Xie Dao Ling will become the master of Key of the Wind]
[According to the rules of the 4 Saint Pillars, when one of the Saint Pillars signs a covenant, the other 3 Saint Pillars' Law Manifestation Soul Artifacts will bear witness]
The crimson text quickly disappeared.
In a split second, Heaven and Earth disappeared.
The entire world had turned into a vast sea of stars.
Xie Dao Ling doubtfully asked: "This is — —"
"This is a ceremony of the 4 Saint Pillars, I've also experienced it once when I returned from the Age of Old and obtained the Earth God coin" Gu Qing Shan explained.
The Earth God coin and the Book of the Seabed both flew up, circling around Xie Dao Ling and the Key of the Wind in her hand, seemingly celebrating something.
A few moments later.
The void of space shifted.
A crimson pendant also flew out.
The Saint Pillar of Fire, Flame Spirit Pendant!
The other 3 Saint Pillar Soul Artifacts all flew up and quickly conversed with the pendant.
Ding ding ding dong dong
Ssss, ssss ssss ssss
Clap clap clap, clap clap
Chirp chirp chirp chirp
They chatted happily for a while.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and only silently told them in her mind: "Coin, help me ask that pendant what other methods Emperor Heaven Heaven has used on my Shifu"
Ding dong!
The Earth God coin responded in his mind, then flew up and circled around the Flame Spirit Pendant while chirping.
The Flame Spirit Pendant couldn't resist and could only respond with a hissing sound.
The 4 Law Soul Artifacts continued to communicate. After a while, they flew down and circled around Xie Dao Ling, occasionally whispering to each other as if they were criticizing her.
The Key of the Wind kept ringing as it introduced the other three Law Soul Tools to the sequence of events.
A few moments later, the 4 Soul Artifacts flew up and gave off a golden, red, blue, and black glow that formed a line and resonated with each other.
The resonating sound grew louder and louder, almost reaching the entire sea of stars and shaking countless worlds.
Suddenly, the space above them went away.
All supernatural phenomena disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan and Xie Dao Ling returned to the mountain peak, still standing where they were.
The Flame Spirit Pendant had left.
The Key of the Wind fell into Xie Dao Ling's hand and disappeared without a trace.
A blue gust of wind appeared around her body.
"Shifu, how do you feel?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Xie Dao Ling appeared contemplative and muttered: "It seems … this key doesn't just lead to anywhere, it also has other abilities"
"Of course, since you've become its master, you can naturally exert its true power, but you'll need to explore it yourself" Gu Qing Shan replied.
— — it was only when he was recognized by the Earth God coin as its master that he found out that the coin didn't only have [True Luck], but also the power of [Prohibition] and [Protection].
As another Soul Artifact of the 4 Saint Pillars, Key of the Wind naturally had its own secret abilities.
The Book of the Sea Styx and the Flame Spirit Pendant were the same.
The Book of the Sea Styx was still hidden next to Gu Qing Shan.
While they were talking, the Gold Coin fell down and landed in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding ding!
The coin was giving off a continuous' ding ding '.
Gu Qing Shan listened attentively.
Even after the Gold Coin stopped speaking, he was still deep in thought.
"What is it?" Xie Dao Ling asked.
"I asked the Gold Coin to find out what other miracles Sky Emperor used on you," Han Sen said.
"What was the result?"
"There is still a miraculous power between you and your other self."
"What is it?"
"The Emperor Of Heaven was afraid that you would find your future self, so he paid the price to activate this miracle:"
"— — If you go looking for your future self, you will definitely not be able to find it. In the end, you will only find the true Emperor Of Heaven and be sealed by him again."
Hearing that, Xie Dao Ling went silent for a bit before replying: "… I know that there are countless mystical powers within the endless void, but I never thought the Saint Pillar's power would be so great that it could even control something like this"
Gu Qing Shan also sighed.
The void was boundless, and there were many things that were hard to explain.
It was rumored that the four Holy Pillar Soul Tools were related to an ultimate secret.
But that was a long time ago.
Right now, I don't have the energy to investigate such a thing.
"If we can't find your future self … it seems we'll have to think of another way" Gu Qing Shan said.
"What do you think?" Xie Dao Ling asked.
The two of them went silent at the same time.
At this point, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from the mountain path.
Someone was quickly rushing towards them!
Xie Dao Ling took a step forward and stood next to Gu Qing Shan, whispering: "If it's a Heaven Immortal, I'll open the door right away and we'll leave this place"
"Got it" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The two of them looked towards the mountain path.
Gradually, the figure of a person appeared.
While running for his life, he shouted towards Gu Qing Shan: "Junior brother! It's me, it's me! "
Gu Qing Shan looked closely and exclaimed in shock: "Second brother?"
The man was sobbing: "It's me! I've finally found you! "
