On the ground.
A cold gust of wind blew past, stirring up a cloud of yellow sand.
Luo Bingli took a few steps forward and carefully observed the skeleton.
A few moments later.
She spoke: "The Great Era of Desolation … even compared to our Earth Era, they were equally matched. Being able to grasp a Great Era Spirit Skill, even in that era, you could be considered a Saint"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
When talking about the four Saint Eras, the Apostles all said that their era was the strongest.
But when it came to the Great Era of Desolation, Luo Bingli seemed to think highly of it.
Luo Bingli sighed and said: "Unfortunately, the Great Era of Desolation still couldn't win against the evil fiends, which was why us Apostles hid the Saints away for the decisive battle in the future"
"And now, it's time for the decisive battle" Gu Qing Shan said.
The two of them exchanged glances, then looked at the skeleton in front of them.
The decisive battle was imminent.
But living beings still couldn't understand the origins of the evil fiends, nor did they know how to deal with them.
— — if there was any hope, it was on this skeleton.
Gu Qing Shan took a few steps forward and stared at the skeleton.
"The reason why I didn't use [Entropy] to disintegrate it was because I wanted to see what secrets were hidden inside its body and soul" he said.
"What method?" Luo Bingli asked.
"Don't tell me the Earth Era doesn't have a secret technique to examine corpses?" Gu Qing Shan asked in return.
"They do, but we've already used them in our era — — unfortunately, we couldn't find anything" Luo Bingli regretfully replied.
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
It wasn't just the Earth Era, there were also Water, Fire, and Wind.
Unfortunately, none of them managed to find anything useful, otherwise they wouldn't have been hiding from the evil fiends.
While I …
Other than that Great Era Spirit Skill and the Spirit Summoning Technique, all of my strength has been erased.
If I still hold the ultimate [Mystery of All Beings Equal], I might be able to think of a way to turn myself into the 9 faces and see if I can find any information from them.
But what can I do now?
Gu Qing Shan sighed. She was still unwilling to give up.
Compared to the past, this battle was completely different.
In order to deal with Gu Qing Shan, the demons searched for him in the river of time and suffered a lot. In the end, he merged with the Demon King Sequence in an attempt to determine the outcome of the battle.
Nine-faced Insect Demon was the only Nefarious Demon that had not merged with the Demon King Sequence.
It was not afraid of the Law's revenge.
He could also use the power of fairies.
It was special!
Gu Qing Shan thought for a moment, then clenched her teeth and pressed her hand on the pile of bones.
"What do you want to do? This is the Demon's Bone, be careful! "Luo Bingli warned.
Gu Qing Shan did not answer. She only looked at the void.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared:
"You touched the skeleton of the Nine-faced Insect Demon"
"This has never happened before."
"Chaos has entered the highest state of alert!"
In the next instant —
The entire world suddenly lit up.
From the void of space, an endless golden waterfall suddenly manifested.
"Why is Chaos here!?" Luo Bingli exclaimed in shock.
The golden waterfall converged into an ocean that gathered above Gu Qing Shan's head, then condensed into a thin thread that silently entered his hand.
At the same time, lines of glowing text appeared from the void of space and stopped in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[With you as proof, Chaos is currently analyzing this demonic creature with everything it has]
[Do not let go no matter what]
Gu Qing Shan glanced through, then told Luo Bingli: "Protect me"
As an Apostle of the Era, Luo Bingli was very knowledgeable, so she could roughly guess what was going on as soon as she heard that.
She stepped forward, stood in front of Gu Qing Shan, and spoke:
"Very well, this is the Earth World, I'd like to see what kind of thing dares to provoke you"
The two of them silently stood still.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Time slowly passed.
Nothing happened at all.
This time, Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised. Thinking about it, the evil creatures couldn't leave the Demon King list at all, otherwise, they would be restrained by the countless Laws. Not to mention, this was the Earth World, even if they didn't fear death and wanted to fight, this place also suppressed all supernatural powers — —
They couldn't come, and even if they did, they would still die.
The only one who could come, Nine-Faced, had already been turned into a skeleton.
That was why this moment was so calm.
Gu Qing Shan and Luo Bingli exchanged glances and sighed in relief.
A few moments later.
A line of bloody text suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[Attention!]
[You've reached a certain sealed Primal Chaos ground]
[All Primal Chaos power has been temporarily suppressed, only after you've made your decision will it be activated again]
Phasing seal? Decision?
Gu Qing Shan was confused and couldn't help but ask: "What is a sealed Primal Chaos ground?"
A line of glowing text appeared:
[The so-called sealed Primal Chaos ground is a unique place specifically used to seal away a certain secret]
Gu Qing Shan asked: "In other words, it's used to prevent others from obtaining a certain secret?"
This was a technique that specifically used the Law of Causality to prevent others from obtaining a secret.
— — there's actually such a technique in the infinite worlds?
[Correct] the Chaos War God UI replied: [Whenever someone is about to discover a certain secret related to Primal Chaos, they will trigger the Law of Causality to immediately form a connection with the sealed Primal Chaos ground. If they don't retreat, they will be drawn to that place, their life and death will be uncertain; if they retreat, they will never be able to come into contact with this secret again]
[Attention: You can only go there alone]
Gu Qing Shan held her breath and said nothing.
Killing the Nine-Faced Insect Demon is such a difficult task.
Not to mention, I've already come this far, so how can I retreat?
The only thing I didn't expect was that someone had already discovered this secret and sealed it away.
I can only take it one step at a time.
"Let me take a look and see who exactly is guarding this secret" Gu Qing Shan said.
Lines of glowing text popped up:
[You've decided to continue exploring this secret]
[You've triggered this secret's Law of Causality, you will be transported to the sealed Primal Chaos ground]
Spatial fluctuations appeared around Gu Qing Shan's body.
"What's going on?" Luo Bingli asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "It's nothing, I might be transported to a certain secret location. Wait for me here, I'll probably return very soon"
At the very next moment.
The fluctuations in the void of space engulfed him and took him away from the Earth World.
…
Flying.
Gu Qing Shan was enveloped by some sort of power as he quickly flew through the void of space.
He passed through the endless darkness, then the flickering of time, flying through the countless fragmented worlds.
Finally — — -
The power brought him to a sudden stop, then instantly descended in a certain direction.
Very quickly, the scenery around him changed.
A new world appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
Faint yellow mist, a surging river.
The presence of death and decay permeated the air.
Huang Quan!
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat. Following the guiding power, he silently landed on top of a mountain.
This mountain was almost completely submerged, only the top of the mountain was still above the water.
As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but the water of the Forgetting River all around.
Gu Qing Shan looked around, then turned around to look at the person in front of him.
"Ancestor"
He clasped his fist.
In front of him.
Xie Gu Hong was sitting in front of a stone table, silently looking at him.
"I didn't think the one guarding this secret would be you" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Of course it's me, I wouldn't feel at ease if it was anyone else" Xie Gu Hong replied.
His body was shackled by iron chains that were engraved with fine runes, completely isolating his aura.
— — -for countless years, he had been chained like this on top of this mountain.
"You've suffered a lot" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
"That's nothing, it's those fellow Dao seekers who have been converted by the evil spirits who are the truly pitiful ones" Xie Gu Hong casually said.
Gu Qing Shan finally asked: "Then, in the Age of Old, the one who taught me sword styles — — -"
Xie Gu Hong replied: "Of course it was me"
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and said: "I should have called you Master, but my Master is your daughter, she was before you, you were behind her, so Bai Hua sect is the same as the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace of the Age of Old, and we're both under the same sect, so how about I call you Ancestor?"
"Very well" Xie Gu Hong replied.
Gu Qing Shan asked again: "Ancestor, the secret you're guarding is related to the evil spirits … so this is the place you specifically set up to prevent others from obtaining this secret?"
"If someone else came looking for this secret, I would've directly undone the chains on my body, killed them with everything I had, then tossed their corpse into the Forgetting River to make them forget everything before reincarnating" Xie Gu Hong casually replied.
"Then what about me?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"You've always been quick-witted, why don't you take a guess?" Xie Gu Hong replied.
"I'm guessing that you won't stop me" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Why not?" Xie Gu Hong asked with interest.
"I'm your grand disciple, we're on the same side" Gu Qing Shan pointed at herself and answered with a serious expression.
"…" Xie Gu Hong stared at her for a while.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't hold it any longer and said: "The current situation is extremely dangerous, even the Apostles of the Four Saints Era have appeared, even the Saints have no choice but to come out. Our forces are all gathered together, waiting for the decisive battle — — the only problem right now is that we don't know the origins of the evil spirits. You've been guarding this secret for so long for this day"
Xie Gu Hong then nodded: "In truth … after I found out about this secret in the past, I already knew that the Age of Old wouldn't be able to hold on any longer, so I could only guard it until one day in the future"
"Grand Ancestor, please tell me the secret of the Nine-faced Insect Demon" Gu Qing Shan said.
"A friend of yours came here once, I told him a secret, and also told him that I can't tell him the other two secrets" Xie Gu Hong replied.
"The other two … can't I tell them no matter what?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Qing Shan, there are many Laws in the void of space that are connected to one another. If I tell them, it will trigger a reaction from the Laws and Mysteries, the evil spirits will definitely find out … some of them will cause a great calamity, so you can't tell them anything, otherwise I wouldn't need to guard this place" Xie Gu Hong replied.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised: "That serious …"
Xie Gu Hong formed a hand seal and pointed at Gu Qing Shan from afar, then said:
"That's why you can only see it with your own eyes, as for how much you can understand, that will depend on your own abilities"
A cluster of faint flames appeared around Gu Qing Shan's body and enveloped his entire body.
He wasn't nervous at all, only curious: "This is — —"
Xie Gu Hong replied: "That secret. Remember, you can only see it, not speak of it"
As soon as he said so, the water of the Forgetting River around them flowed upwards, turned into four walls, and sealed both Gu Qing Shan and Xie Gu Hong inside.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes, seemingly falling into thought.
