「 Do you really want to know this? 」 the Book of Seafloor asked.
"Yes, how much do I need to pay, state your price" Gu Qing Shan replied with a serious expression.
The Book of Seafloor sighed and muttered: 「 You don't have any money on you, yet you're acting like you're ready to pay 」
Gu Qing Shan froze, then replied: "I can't pay you right now, but I'll definitely pay you in the future"
The Book of Seafloor replied: 「 I don't need money, as long as you agree to a small condition of mine, I can tell you the answer to this matter 」
"… You wouldn't want me to kill countless people and offer their souls to you, would you?" Gu Qing Shan hesitantly asked.
The Book of Seafloor angrily replied: 「 This book is a Soul Artifact manifested from the Four Saint Pillars, not some Demonic Tome 」
"Then what exactly is your condition?"
"It's nothing major, I'll tell you when I think of something in the future — — - if you think it's possible, I can tell you the answer right now …"
"That's good, I agree" Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
The Book of Seafloor continued: 「 Within the recorded history of Time and Space, the Samsara had been broken twice 」
"Twice?"
"Yes, twice"
"Within the recorded history of Time and Space — — what does that mean?"
"It means that it is within the range of my detection. You should know that the origin of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is a mystery. Although I know everything about the Void, its past is not in the Void," the Book of the Seabed said.
Twice.
In other words, before Xie Dao Ling took control of the Heaven realm, the Samsara had been broken once.
This truth was a bit outside of Gu Qing Shan's expectations.
He sighed, then continued to ask: "You said 'within the range of detection', could it be that there are places in Space-Time that cannot be detected?"
「 Of course, you should know, if you are able to follow the River of Time upstream and reach the source of the River of Time, you will find — — - 」
The Book of Seafloor's voice stopped.
"Why didn't you continue?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 I'm sorry, that is another secret that cannot be known by all living beings — — not to mention, the Time clan is not to be trifled with, so I can't tell you 」 the Book of Seafloor replied.
Gu Qing Shan wasn't surprised.
The others didn't look disappointed either.
There were countless secrets in the void. Everyone knew this.
Some secrets were too valuable, and not everyone was qualified to know them.
In other words …
If he heard something he shouldn't know, it would only add to his troubles and even put him in danger.
Gu Qing Shan collected her thoughts and looked at the wall again.
It was extremely confusing.
Although he had guessed some things, the secrets of the Samsara were too deep. It was impossible to confirm everything with just a poem.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a while, then turned around and waved at everyone again.
"Alright, everyone can leave now. I have some personal matters to attend to, and it's not convenient for you to see me."
Everyone could only leave the hall.
Gu Qing Shan had set up many Restrictive Spells in the hall, but she was still worried. She held the Delimitation sword and shouted,
"Senluo Sword World!"
In a split second, the entire hall disappeared from Gu Qing Shan's sight.
A pure white world of nothingness appeared.
The Delimitation sword spoke: 「 The Sword World has been opened, you can now create a world with your mind 」
"Let's wait for a bit" Gu Qing Shan replied.
— — -the Senluo Sword World was able to keep out the Apocalypses, even the Eternal Thought Stealer had to spend a lot of effort to enter this world.
It was clear that the Senluo Sword World's barrier was quite tight.
Gu Qing Shan stood in the middle of an empty world and suddenly spoke up:
"… Delimitation, I know that you've been hiding within the Samsara for a very long time, didn't hesitate to break your disguise and even deceive the Samsara, but why did you warn me at the very last moment?"
The Divine Sword circled around him and spoke: 「 I've seen your battle against Reneedol, I've seen your decisive battle against the two Apocalypses, and I've been hesitating … 」
"Later on, you managed to trick the Eternal Thought Snatcher with just my fragment. I'm afraid not even the Six Paths of Reincarnation expected this."
「 I've never heard of someone as weak as you being able to do such a thing … 」
「 Not to mention that you're a true swordsman 」
「 That's why I was thinking, if there was a single person who could help me, it would be you 」
「 — — Of course, when you didn't hand me over to the Envoys of Order at the very last moment, I knew that I'd made the right gamble 」
After saying so, the Divine Sword turned into a sword phantom and flew back and forth in the void of space, seemingly in high spirits.
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
「 Then, you're now my sword, you shall fight by my side 」 he confirmed once again.
The sword instantly gave off a resounding resonance in response.
Gu Qing Shan's expression slowly turned serious and said: "Guard the Sword World for me, don't let anyone spy on it"
The Delimitation sword resonated again and disappeared into the pure white void.
After everything was prepared, Gu Qing Shan took out the Book of Seabed and solemnly said:
"I have something very important to ask you, and it's something that no one can know."
Seeing how serious he was, the Book of Seabed also asked: "What is it?"
Gu Qing Shan said: "You know everything about the void, then … if you were to go to a certain world with me, do you know how many people there are in that world?"
"Such a simple matter, of course I would know" the Book of Seabed replied.
"Do you know the names and appearances of those living beings?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"Names and appearances are very basic information, not even considered knowledge, so of course I would know" the Book of Seabed casually replied.
Gu Qing Shan's tone became a bit more serious as she continued: "Then — — if I tell you a person's name and appearance, if that person happens to be in that world, you would definitely know where they are, correct?"
The Book of Seabed impatiently said: "Correct, what exactly do you want to ask? Could it be that you're only looking for someone in a world? "
"That's right, trust me, this matter is extremely important, more important than anything I've told you before" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Which world exactly?" the Book of Seabed asked.
Gu Qing Shan waved her hand.
The Delimitation sword appeared from the void of space and flew into her hand.
With a single thought from Gu Qing Shan, the empty world began to display endless scenes.
An entire Phase World had been created.
This world was filled with coffins.
From the sky to the ground, there was nothing else.
Large and small coffins of different materials, all of them exuding ominous auras were lined up, filling every corner of her vision, extending all the way to the edge of the world.
The entire world was filled with an indescribable sense of pressure and eeriness.
Gu Qing Shan spoke: "We've seen the Samsara unleash its power, using this world to kill the one who attacked me from beyond"
The Book of Seabed's voice became a bit more cautious as it replied: "I remember this world … there are too many secrets in this world. If I tell you about it, a calamity will most likely descend upon this world in an instant …"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I don't want to know this world's secrets, nor do I want to explore its knowledge, in fact, I don't even want to know anything about it — — I only want to know if there's a single person in this world"
"That's barely possible, what kind of person are you looking for?" the Book of Seabed asked.
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a bit.
Shifu's technique …
She could have taken everyone in Bai Hua sect, as well as herself, away from the Samsara.
Adding her wouldn't have been a lot.
But Shifu chose to stay.
On one hand, it might have been because she took on my Samsara identity, but those identities couldn't be removed, nor could she escape from the Samsara.
On the other hand, it might have been related to the poem just now. The secret in the poem made her unable to leave.
Then — — -
If I don't know about the poem, what would I think? What methods would I use to investigate?
… I would definitely start with Bai Hua sect.
Following this line of thought, the first thing I could confirm, as well as the situation I would definitely notice, was …
Shifu would definitely not give up on a single disciple of Bai Hua sect.
Especially — —
Gu Qing Shan's mind moved.
Instantly, the image of a little girl appeared in the void of space.
The little girl had a pair of large, spirited eyes, her hair was tied into two ponytails, and she appeared a bit nervous and shy.
— — -indeed, everyone in Bai Hua sect had gathered, but this junior sister of theirs had never once appeared.
She had once saved Shifu's life, so she was loved by everyone in the sect.
Shifu also cared about her the most.
If someone managed to capture her, Shifu would definitely not give up on her, nor would she leave the Samsara on her own.
Taking a wild guess, if it was the Samsara, or some power that was secretly controlling the Samsara, trying to capture Shifu — — -
"Help me see if she's currently trapped inside a coffin in this world"
Gu Qing Shan said.
[Tell me her name] the Book of Seabed said.
"She's called Xiu Xiu" Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Let me check] the Book of Seabed said, then went silent.
Gu Qing Shan silently waited.
A few moments later.
The Book of Seabed spoke up:
[Found her, she's in this world]
