Above the clouds.
Turtle Saint's residence.
Xie Dao Ling, Asura King, and Turtle Saint were discussing something.
"Old Turtle, how's your strength now?" Asura King asked.
"About 10% stronger, what about you?"
"The same for me"
"For countless years, it's been so hard for us to increase our strength, I didn't think we would be able to increase it by 10%, how unbelievable"
"Thanks to the fusion of worlds, I was able to increase my strength again"
"However, when it comes to the fusion of worlds — –"
Asura King looked down from above the clouds and continued: "It wasn't until last night that the fusion of the two worlds finally calmed down"
Turtle Saint took a sip of tea and slowly said: "In the past years, I've seen the fusion of worlds a few times, but none of them took as long as this"
Xie Dao Ling replied: "Because the two fused worlds are extremely unique, one of them is the Path of Reincarnation, the other is a subordinate world under the Saint Pillar"
"Saint Pillar? Why haven't I heard of that before, Turtle Saint, have you? "Asura King asked.
"I haven't either, that's strange" Turtle Saint replied.
"You've lived for countless years, so you've definitely heard of the four Saint Pillars, but they made you forget" Xie Dao Ling said.
"Me? Forget? "Asura King was surprised.
"No need to be surprised, the power of the four Saint Pillars is unimaginable, when they don't want to know you, you wouldn't even be able to remember their names" Xie Dao Ling replied.
"Your disciple became the Earth and Water of the Four Sacred Pillars, and you gave him the Key of Wind," Turtle Saint said meaningfully.
"Indeed, I naturally have my reasons for doing so — —"
Xie Dao Ling abruptly stopped and turned her gaze towards the distance.
Outside the sea of clouds, at the faraway horizon, numerous sword qi abruptly shot up into the sky, piercing through the clouds and into the endless void.
Asura King looked at the vast sword qi and muttered: "Turning into sword phantoms … seems like he didn't control it well again, he was probably wounded quite heavily this time"
Turtle Saint sighed: "Cut to pieces, it's hard! Hard! Hard! I wonder when he'll be able to find a path "
Xie Dao Ling scowled, took a sip of tea, and forced herself to say: "He'll be fine"
…
Beside the stream.
His badly mutilated body emitted a faint dark golden radiance. Finally, he was completely healed.
Gu Qing Shan's face was pale as she looked up at the sky.
Hu –
The Sword Qi that filled the sky fell from the sky and returned to his body.
"There's nothing wrong with the other aspects … It's just that I didn't control one of the sword gleams well."
He said to himself.
The Sacrificial Dance Lady's shadow quietly appeared and said: "Today's swordsmanship training will end here. You must begin practicing Holy Wish Sacrifice"
"Ah, okay."
Gu Qing Shan sheathed her sword and walked out of the stream.
The shadow stood in front of him and spoke: "The Dance of Divine Will is the path of sacrifice, eliminating all disrespectful, sinful, and deserving beings. If you can fully grasp it, it would be the same as carrying two paths at the same time"
Gu Qing Shan fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong?" asked the Sacrificial Dancer.
"Madam, I was thinking —"
Gu Qing Shan counted with his fingers and said: "There are three enemies, one with [Myriad Life], [Living Being Deceived], and [Parallel World]"
He then gestured with his other hand: "If my side goes well, I'll have [Living Being Sacrificial Dance] and [Lonesome Swan Flying Immortal] — — - 2 against 3, still won't be easy"
The Sacrificial Dancer's shadow replied: "If we can use the Samsara to form a technique, it would be 3 against 3"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then muttered: "3 against 3, it's still hard to tell who's going to win and who's going to lose … not to mention, once the Samsara is about to form a technique, the enemies will definitely go berserk. If they go all out, I'm not confident"
The two of them went silent for a while.
The Sacrificial Dancer's shadow asked: "Right, didn't you obtain one of the faces from [Living Being Deceived]?"
Gu Qing Shan suddenly facepalmed: "Oh no, I was too engrossed in my cultivation that I forgot about Crow!"
He lightly grasped the void of space, caught a cluster of light, and released it.
The cluster of light instantly expanded and manifested as the image of a world.
Crow didn't appear on the image.
Gu Qing Shan gasped and exclaimed: "It's over, it's my mistake, Crow, you definitely can't die — –"
He placed his hand on the image, constantly adjusting the angle of view, searching for Crow's whereabouts.
Finally.
Gu Qing Shan saw a metal tower that reached all the way to the clouds.
At the top of the tower, Crow was tied to a metal rod, blindfolded, unable to move at all.
His appearance was extremely pitiful, his clothes were in tatters, his entire body was covered in scratches, not a single part of his body was unharmed.
"So pitiful? Why does it look like I'm cultivating … "
Gu Qing Shan muttered, then quickly observed their surroundings.
Below the metal tower, quite a few female insectoids were lined up.
They were holding some sort of thorny leather whip, or long tree branches, some were even holding burning candles with an expectant smile on their faces.
"I heard that this bird is quite fun to play with"
"He's especially fierce when he fights, it takes a lot of people to subdue him"
"— — -fortunately, he doesn't kill anyone when he fights"
"Compared to the zoo, this bird is much more fun to play with, he's especially pitiful when he cries out"
"Hm, birds are a rare species after all"
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and slowly closed her eyes.
The Sacrificial Dancer's shadow commented: "You've only considered his mobility, but neglected the fact that compared to the entire insectoid race as a whole, he's still too weak. Furthermore, he doesn't kill anyone, so he naturally wouldn't be able to establish his dominance. Sooner or later, he'll be captured and turned into an ornamental animal"
Lines of text quickly appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[Attention, you're about to fail the test]
[You must immediately send in more people to rescue that bird, then complete the Path's test!]
Gu Qing Shan's mind quickly turned.
— — -this is the only chance to investigate the Myriad Spirit Decoy technique, I can't afford to fail!
Who should I send?
A mission like reproduction isn't something that humans can do in the first place, so who can do it?
While Gu Qing Shan was feeling anxious, a voice suddenly resounded in her ears:
"Say, how did you manage to obtain a Phase World that belongs to our insectoid race?"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then slowly looked down at himself.
— — the insect armor.
It's the Eternal Thought Stealer!
The last time I went to the Dusty World, it wasn't with me, so it naturally doesn't know what happened.
The Eternal Thought Stealer is a true insectoid — — -
Moreover, it's extremely powerful, unique, and knowledgeable.
Once I obtain the power of the Myriad Spirit Decoy technique, I'll have to let it carry it sooner or later.
Gu Qing Shan was overjoyed and immediately said: "I have a mission for you, if you can complete it, I'll be able to find out your identity, perhaps even obtain the power of the Myriad Spirit Decoy technique"
"What!? There's actually such a good thing? "the insect exclaimed in shock.
Gu Qing Shan took off the insect armor and spoke with a serious expression: "I can only rely on you now. You must enter that world and rescue my companions, then face an extremely difficult test"
The insect armor turned into a large-shelled beetle, exuding overwhelming fighting spirit.
The Eternal Thought Stealer!
It loudly roared: 「 What kind of test is it? I'm willing to pay any price to know everything! Let me go! I'll triumph over everything! 」
"Save Crow first, he'll tell you"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan pushed it forward.
The insect was instantly pulled into the image.
A voice resounded from the image:
「 You've sent in new reinforcements 」
「 Let us see if the subordinates you sent as the Insectoid King can complete the mission 」
Gu Qing Shan anxiously looked at the image.
The Eternal Thought Stealer had flown up to the metal tower, turned into a sharp-looking man, and ripped off all the restraints on Crow's body.
Crow's blindfold was also ripped off.
"Ah? Why are you here? "Crow was surprised.
「 Gu Qing Shan sent me to save you 」 the Eternal Thought Stealer replied.
「 Which means, ever since the last Death Match, you've become one of us? 」 Crow asked with interest.
「 Hmph, we're only helping each other for now 」 the Eternal Thought Stealer replied.
It looked around.
Only to see the shrill sound of an alarm resounding.
The insectoids already knew what happened here, so they all wielded their weapons and rushed towards the metal tower.
"Seems like we'll have to fight side by side again!"
Crow took out a rapier and declared.
The Eternal Thought Stealer's aura abruptly erupted as it smirked: 「 Your strength is limited, but these insectoids aren't enough for me to kill. Once they know my name, they'll die 」
"No, you can't kill them!" Crow resolutely refused.
「 Why not? 」 the Eternal Thought Stealer narrowed its eyes and asked.
「 Our mission is to reproduce, to reproduce, dear 」 Crow replied with a serious expression.
The Eternal Thought Stealer was stunned.
More and more insectoids were gathering around them.
Large groups of female insectoid guards had completely surrounded the metal tower.
The Eternal Thought Stealer suddenly spoke: 「 — — You were lying to me just now, weren't you? You actually used that Crow Mouth ability of yours, didn't you? 」
"No, the mission is very difficult, I wouldn't lie" Crow replied righteously.
The Eternal Thought Stealer had a complicated expression as it gritted its teeth: 「 No wonder that brat Gu Qing Shan wouldn't tell me anything … Crow, listen well, I'll let bygones be bygones regarding the last Death Match, but you definitely can't drag me down this time 」
No response.
The Eternal Thought Stealer couldn't help but glance at Crow.
Only to see that Crow appeared to be in a daze, muttering:
「 As a young insectoid, you will bid farewell to your past and fall into a state of extreme malnutrition that will last for a very long time 」
The Eternal Thought Stealer opened its mouth, unable to say anything for a long while.
It looked at the swarm of female insectoid guards in the sky and couldn't help but shudder.
