A beautiful girl appeared in front of the three disciples.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Congratulations, Master!"
Qin Xiaolou, Wan Er, and Qing Rou spoke at once.
Xie Dao Ling closed her eyes, seemingly recalling something.
Time passed slowly.
Xie Dao Ling's presence grew stronger and stronger, but her eyebrows slowly scowled.
She raised one of her snow-white arms and quickly calculated with her fingers.
She seemed to have encountered some kind of problem. Her hands moved faster and faster, and finally, she even took out a tortoiseshell and lightly tapped on it with her finger.
Qin Xiaolou said worriedly, "What is Master calculating? Do you want me to calculate it for you? "
"No need."
Xie Dao Ling opened her eyes and spoke with a solemn expression: "Once you know what I'm calculating, you'll be in danger — –"
She clasped her hands together and quickly formed a seal, then said in a low voice, "Listen to my order!"
The air rippled, and bewitching black flowers appeared out of thin air.
A dignified woman stood on a flying flower and hovered in front of Xie Dao Ling.
"Emperor, I've been waiting for you for a long time," the woman said excitedly.
Xie Dao Ling looked at her with a sentimental expression and asked: "Is your daughter Li Yang?"
"That's right" the woman replied.
So she was the Progenitor Fiendess.
"Your daughter is currently assisting my disciple, are you at ease?" Xie Dao Ling asked.
『Don't worry』 the Progenitor Fiendess said.
Xie Dao Ling nodded and said: "At the time when I reincarnated, I entrusted a few matters to you. Now that I've returned, you can report them to me"
The Progenitor Fiendess spoke: 『Monarch, you only sang a few lines of the ballad back then, and you said that there was no need to keep the ballad a secret and that it should be spread around』
"Seems like it's something that only I can understand — — - sing it for me" Xie Dao Ling said.
The Progenitor Fiendess paused for a bit, then sang: "You you deer cry, eating the wild apple. I have guests to play the flute and the flute. Clearly like the moon, when will it disappear? Worry comes from within and cannot be severed. "
She stopped as soon as she finished singing, but her voice lingered in the air, as if she hadn't finished.
"Nice," Qin Xiaolou praised.
Wan Er and Qing Rou also showed expressions of longing.
But Xie Dao Ling said nothing.
She stood motionless like a statue.
For some reason, a wisp of sorrow appeared on her face.
…
Great Necropolis.
In the depths.
A monster with blade-like wings was hiding behind a sand dune.
Gu Qing Shan.
He quietly observed the buildings in front of him.
The buildings were made of glazed bricks and tiles, with richly ornamented beams and painted rafters, giving off the feeling of a heavenly palace.
However, amidst their magnificence, they were constructed entirely out of black bricks. Sinister patterns were carved on them, giving them a rather ghastly appearance.
These buildings were innumerable. They rose and fell, row upon row, extending to the end of one's sight.
— They formed a complete city!
Gu Qing Shan looked at it for a while, then whispered: "That's strange, is there a city in your phase world?"
The Delimitation sword's voice came from the void beside him.
"Of course not. It was originally empty."
Gu Qing Shan clicked her tongue: "Then that's troublesome, it actually built a city here, and I can see that the entire city is surrounded by tight formations — — - we probably won't be able to enter"
The Delimitation sword replied: "You're overthinking it, these weren't built by it. In truth, I can follow the sword master's will and create a phase world inside the sword hilt. All of the buildings and facilities can be manifested through thought, no different from reality"
"Then, all of this is your sword hilt's Thaumaturgy?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes, of course it's my Thaumaturgy" the Delimitation sword replied.
As soon as he said so, a wondrous fluctuation enveloped both him and the divine sword.
— — this was a scene that any swordsman would be familiar with.
Master recognition!
However, this was only the first stage of recognition, there was still a long way to go before the sword and man truly acknowledged each other.
A line of crimson text appeared in the void of space:
[You've heard the sword spirit's description of one of its Thaumaturgies:]
[Senluo sword realm]
[Description: This sword can create a phase world inside the sword hilt according to the sword master's will, manifesting through thought, no different from reality]
[Attention!]
[You've learned of one of the Samsara Delimitation sword's Thaumaturgies]
[If you hear it describe three more Thaumaturgies, you will become its true master]
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
The divine sword was also stunned.
"What are you doing!?"
They both shouted at the same time.
"Why are you asking about my Thaumaturgy?" the divine sword angrily asked.
"I'm only asking about those buildings, not about your Thaumaturgy" Gu Qing Shan loudly explained.
[Be careful, don't ever ask about my Thaumaturgy again!] the Delimitation sword sternly warned her.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely remember" Gu Qing Shan solemnly replied.
— — I absolutely cannot become this sword's master, otherwise I won't be able to retrieve the Six Paths Great Mountain sword!
Skipping this point, the man and the sword continued to observe the city.
"Strange" Gu Qing Shan muttered as she watched.
[What is it?] the Delimitation sword asked.
"The sculptures and decorations on those buildings … all seem to be in the style of the Wraith realm …" Gu Qing Shan commented.
[Perhaps when the Samsara was broken, a few wraiths hid inside my sword hilt, and their leader took control of the sword hilt] the Delimitation sword said.
"But there's no one in the city, what's going on?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[I don't know, the entire city manifests according to the other party's will, so you have to enter to find out what's going on] the Delimitation sword replied.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
To find the sword hilt, I have to enter the city.
Regardless of the situation, I'll have to try it out.
He looked towards the city.
Only to see that the city was isolated by a formation, but the city was filled with tiny fragments of light, occasionally drifting out from the buildings and drifting into the sky.
— — it actually looked a bit dreamy.
But there was still no one.
This is an empty city.
Or perhaps, there's a secret hidden in this city?
Gu Qing Shan pondered: "Do you have a way to get me through the formation?"
[I can, after all, this is a city manifested by my Thaumaturgy, but you'll have to rely on yourself after entering the city] the Delimitation sword replied.
"Why? Can't you just summon the sword hilt? "Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
"I can't, the other party seems to have used some sort of unique technique to fuse with my Senluo Sword Realm, so I can't control that world, nor can I summon the sword hilt — — - it's hidden deep within the combined technique"
"Seems like I have no choice but to go in" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
[Wait a minute — — you're going to charge in as an apocalyptic monster?] the Delimitation sword asked.
Gu Qing Shan's figure shifted and returned to normal.
"To avoid being surrounded, I will enter the city in the blink of an eye, so you need to quickly open the formation" Gu Qing Shan told her.
[Don't worry] the Divine sword replied.
Gu Qing Shan nodded, then abruptly disappeared.
[Ground Shrink]!
He directly passed through the layers of formations and silently landed on a secluded street in the city.
There was no one around.
Gu Qing Shan held his sword and remained vigilant for a few moments, preparing to react.
— — -there was still no one around.
It was as if the entire city was dead.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "What exactly is …"
Before she could finish, the entire world abruptly disappeared.
Lines of crimson text quickly appeared in front of his eyes:
[Attention, you have entered a fusion Divine Skill]
[This Divine Skill is called: Life Stripping Reincarnation]
[You will fall into a memory of the past]
[You will see many things that have never been seen before, as well as bear witness to a crucial moment in history]
[This sequence recommends that you immediately enter and discover the true secret of history]
[— — -be careful, fortune and disaster are only a matter of time]
All the crimson text faded away.
The scenery around him slowly solidified.
Gu Qing Shan found himself standing in front of a grand, ruined temple.
Everywhere around him were ferocious-looking, gigantic wraiths.
They were covered in wounds, apparently having gone through many battles. Now that they had a bit of free time, they were taking it to recuperate.
Gu Qing Shan looked down at himself.
— — I'm also a wraith.
All of a sudden, a solemn voice resounded from the center of the temple:
[Tomorrow is the decisive battle between the Samsara and the Apocalypse, we Wraith realm need to share the burden of the Emperor Of Heaven — —]
[I've decided to perform a void summoning]
Gu Qing Shan followed the voice, only to see a jet-black wraith wearing armor, holding a pale white bow in one hand and a blood-red talisman in the other, sitting on a throne high up on the throne.
— — -it was the wraith that was hiding inside the sword hilt!
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
So this wraith was the Wraith Daolord!
But how is that possible?
Didn't the Wraith Daolord betray the Emperor Of Heaven?
Another wraith voice resounded:
[Wraith Lord sir, you can't, that void summoning is indeed powerful and has helped us quite a bit, but we don't know what exactly we would be able to summon]
The black wraith on the throne shook his head: [Say no more, we have no other choice]
[— — -if we don't think of something, the Samsara will definitely be pierced through by the Apocalypse, all of us will die]
Listening to this, Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
The Samsara Delimitation sword suddenly flew out and hurriedly spoke: [Go! This is a secret of the Samsara's past, you cannot pry into it]
Gu Qing Shan paused, then hesitantly said: "But I can't leave this place"
[I'll take you with me!] the Divine sword hurriedly said.
Gu Qing Shan stared at the Divine sword.
— — -the highest echelon told me to carefully explore the secrets of history.
But the Divine sword told me to leave.
Seemingly noticing that he was about to leave, the wraith on the throne abruptly turned around and looked at him: [This is what happened all those years ago, aren't you curious at all?]
Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything, the Delimitation sword loudly spoke: [Don't listen to it, if you fully understand this part of its history, you will end up the same as it!]
Gu Qing Shan scowled.
He had finally noticed some sort of hidden danger.
At the time, the Wraith Daolord betrayed the Emperor Of Heaven, stole the Samsara, and finally became the new Emperor Of Heaven.
But!
But!
There's a Wraith Daolord here, while the current Emperor Of Heaven is only a shell of the Eternal Thought Stealer.
What exactly happened all those years ago?
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a few moments, then a face appeared in his mind.
Xie Dao Ling.
This is related to Shifu, how can I not get to the bottom of this?
— — not to mention, the highest echelon wouldn't screw up at a crucial moment.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "I'm not leaving"
「 Ahahahaha, that's right! If I don't know anything, how would I be able to survive in the Samsara? 」 the black wraith laughed in a frenzy.
The Samsara Delimitation sword spoke in a low voice: [Gu Qing Shan, there's great danger hidden here, if we don't leave now, it will be too late!]
"I need to understand what exactly happened before I think about anything else"
Gu Qing Shan resolutely said.
A few moments later, the black wraith stopped talking to him and returned to its original expression.
「 The Samsara and the Apocalypse have collided, the war has reached a stalemate, countless living beings have died, even the Emperor Of Heaven is deeply hurt 」
It slowly stood up from the throne and ordered: 「 Immediately open the altar, we need to summon a stronger force to help us face the decisive battle tomorrow 」
「 Understood! 」
The wraith loudly replied.
