The eight stones exuded a faint mist, which quickly formed a hazy Misty Realm.
Afraid that the phenomenon would attract monsters, Gu Qing Shan put the stones away.
Just one more stone and I'll be able to pass through the sea of weapons and see the other side of the world.
… how do I get the rest of the stones?
Gu Qing Shan's inner sight looked through the [Bone Forest] Card towards the Old God world.
Only to see Lola sitting in the middle of the Holy Church of Wealth, her eyes closed as she entered a meditative state.
— — -obviously, she was focused on cultivating the Bramble Bird bloodline.
Gu Qing Shan didn't disturb her, retracted his inner sight and silently exited the Card.
Seems like I'll have to think of another way.
The simplest way is to join the organization's missions, that way I'll be able to obtain the shard.
Then …
If I collect the stones myself …
It seemed that before they left the last time, a scout had reported that there was a fragment seven hundred kilometers southeast of the camp.
At the time, I didn't have time to investigate and was summoned back by Cang Wu Mo along with the Moon Goddess.
Then now — — -
After confirming the direction, Gu Qing Shan leapt out of the forest.
Several hundred miles were covered in the blink of an eye.
Ahead of him was a long lake that was as smooth as a mirror.
Under the clear sky, there were only a few lotus leaves swaying in the wind.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
A faint fluctuation could be felt from the center of the lake.
— — this fluctuation was exactly the same as the other shards.
Gu Qing Shan silently landed on the surface of the lake and headed towards the center.
A few moments later.
He stood at the center of the lake and looked down at his feet.
A shard that gave off a faint mist was lying on top of a lotus leaf.
— — -it was that simple?
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but recall the camp that was filled with corpses, as well as Cang Wu Mo's words:
"… The entire organization spent a lot of effort to collect around 8 shards …"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then waved his hand to put the fragment into his sleeve.
In that split second, something happened — — -
Gu Qing Shan's expression suddenly changed. He released the 7 Weapon Cards and manifested them into a giant shield.
Boom!!!
An intense sound of impact resounded on the surface of the lake.
The mist rose to the sky.
Gu Qing Shan held the broken shield with both hands and retreated.
He casually tossed the giant shield aside, turned around, and dodged a streak of cold light. A longsword had already appeared in his hand.
The Earth sword.
The longsword moved, and countless dark sword shadows bloomed in the mist.
The sound of collisions rang out like a heavy downpour.
Suddenly.
A streak of cold light pierced through the layers of sword shadows and went straight for Gu Qing Shan's chest.
What a vicious attack!
By now, it was already too late for Gu Qing Shan to retaliate.
He made a grabbing motion in the air.
A bright moon suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake.
Secret Art, Full Moon Slash!
The bright moon was instantly extinguished.
Clang!
Hualala!
The sound of weapons clashing rang out.
A weapon shattered into pieces and fluttered down to the surface of the lake, causing ripples to form.
— — Gu Qing Shan swung her Delimitation sword in a backhand manner, and with the power of a full moon, she slashed her opponent's weapon eight thousand times, using the power of the Destruction of All Living Things to break her opponent's weapon.
A breath later.
A broken spear giving off a chilling aura suddenly appeared from behind him, aiming straight for the back of his head.
Gu Qing Shan swung her sword.
But the broken spear split into three, avoiding the longsword like a nimble viper, and continued to stab him.
Gu Qing Shan's pupils dilated.
This can't be right!
Logically speaking, her opponent's weapon shouldn't have done this.
Unless — — she used the power of Time!
As the cold light came at him, Gu Qing Shan didn't have time to think any further, so he looked up and roared in anger.
He went straight for the broken spear!
[Chaotic Enhancement] — — -
How stubborn!
With a dull thud, the broken spear retreated back into the mist and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and adjusted his helmet.
Just now, his head was fine, and the enemy's spear was unharmed, but his helmet was cracked a few times.
— — -this insect is too weak.
Gu Qing Shan silently cursed, but his expression was full of killing intent as he asked inside the mist:
"Who are you?"
The mist was silent.
The thick mist slowly receded to reveal a figure.
— — -it was a humanoid piece of paper, wielding a spear cut from paper.
The spear was broken.
"I was focused on fighting you, but you secretly used a Time Skill to cheat, don't you know how disappointing it is to fight like that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The humanoid piece of paper didn't say anything and simply pointed the spear at him.
The shredded pieces of paper flew from all directions and once again pieced together at the tip of the lance.
The spear returned to its original state.
The mist on the surface of the lake dissipated to reveal their figures.
The humanoid piece of paper lightly leapt forward and charged at Gu Qing Shan again.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then let go of the Earth sword and Delimitation in his hand, allowing them to disappear into the void of space behind him.
He gripped the air with both hands and drew the other sword.
Chao Yin.
"I still have something to do, see you later"
He swung his sword — —
In a split second, the surface of the lake manifested into a giant hand that grabbed the humanoid piece of paper.
In a split second, the boundless lake water turned into a blade that slashed the humanoid piece of paper over a million times.
[Suppression of the Myriad Seas], [Screen of Time]!
The lake water slowly slid down and returned to normal.
While the humanoid piece of paper was still standing in place without moving.
Gu Qing Shan didn't bother to look at it anymore and turned back into the mist behind him.
At the very last moment.
He pointed his sword at the humanoid piece of paper without turning around.
The mist dissipated.
Gu Qing Shan had left.
The lake returned to normal.
A gust of wind blew past.
The humanoid piece of paper was shattered into pieces that scattered all over the surface of the lake.
…
The first infiltration point.
Gu Qing Shan appeared from a hidden corner.
He waited for a while before climbing the wall and looked around.
"Where's the Moon Goddess?"
He grabbed a soldier and asked.
"The Moon Goddess is currently resting, she won't be seeing anyone for now" the soldier respectfully replied.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
I was able to defeat them quickly enough to return in time.
The nine Shards of Asura's Credential lay quietly in his storage bag.
I need to find a time to silently make a trip to the abandoned camp from before.
That place is close to the sea of weapons.
I need to think of a way to summon the sea of weapons again.
If I can join that sect and understand the realms after Unfathomable realm …
While he was thinking, a Card appeared in front of him.
Moon Goddess' voice came from the Card:
"Sovereign King of Pain, come to the command room, I have something to tell you"
"Got it" Gu Qing Shan replied.
I wonder how much of the Causality and Mystery techniques that Moon Goddess has unraveled — — -
What did she do?
Gu Qing Shan was a bit intrigued and quickly made his way to the command room.
Only to see Moon Goddess sitting there with a tired expression, seemingly lost in thought.
"I'm here" Gu Qing Shan said.
It was now that Moon Goddess woke up and gestured for him to sit down, telling him: "I have a few secret missions to do recently, so I'll leave the obvious ones to you"
Gu Qing Shan pondered.
Seems like Moon Goddess wants to continue investigating.
"Alright, our obvious mission is to collect the fragments and combine them into a complete Certificate — — - then, what happens after I collect all the fragments?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
He suddenly realized something.
No matter how many fragments I collect, I'll have to hand them over to the organization.
But then — — -
I'm already considered a relatively high-ranking member of the Miracle Deck.
And Moon Goddess' heart isn't on the mission anymore.
If I take the mission on my own …
Why not hide the 9 fragments I have and see if I can use the organization's power first?
Just like Soldier Boy.
— — -using the stones collected by the organization to enter the Asura's place of inheritance!
This way, I can more or less gather some information.
It won't be too late to go to the sea of weapons after I understand this place a bit better.
"If I collect all of them …"
Moon Goddess appeared hesitant and hesitant.
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
Normally, Cang Wu Mo would be the one to decide on these missions.
What does Moon Goddess mean by this?
Why is she thinking about this?
— — -did Cang Wu Mo die?
Perhaps the Moon Goddess had gone to confront him.
Cang Wu Mo doesn't have the protection of the Earth God and Water God.
That's why he died.
Most likely, not too many people know about this.
And Moon Goddess has become the new leader of the organization.
She knows everything.
She received the protection of the two Saint Pillars, so she won't die because she knows everything.
That's why she's currently hesitating.
While she was thinking, Moon Goddess spoke up: "Sovereign King of Pain, make your own decision, after all, you're already a high-ranking member of the organization"
"Don't you need to ask the old man?" Gu Qing Shan smiled and asked.
"Don't — — - don't ask him, I'll decide" Moon Goddess was a bit panicked.
"Very well, then it's decided"
Gu Qing Shan stood up and walked outside.
He suddenly stopped and called out in a low voice:
"Moon Goddess"
"Hm?" Moon Goddess absentmindedly replied.
"Do you feel like something isn't right? Actually, I also feel the same way "Gu Qing Shan said with a hint of fear.
