A few minutes later, the fire turned to ash, the smoke was blown away by the wind.
The entire circus was flattened to the ground.
At the time of the explosion, the Pope was the only person still inside the circus, but now she's nowhere to be seen.
A black card floated quietly in the air, and a dazzling milky-white Holy Power radiated from the card.
Time slowly passed.
Other than [Penance Ascetic] Ivan, the other 6 Holy Apostles came one by one, lined up in front of the black card and knelt down on one knee.
"I couldn't win against my opponent, this is my sin, please punish me" Great Holy Apostle Hurt lowered his head and spoke.
"This is not your fault, this person is a very unique existence" the Pope's voice came from the black card.
The Pope continued: "The rest of you, put whatever you're doing aside for a bit"
The Holy Apostles looked up, waiting for the next order.
"This person attended Madame Punta's banquet. Go and find him. Investigate his every move and every word for me."
"After you've investigated his background, do not act rashly, wait for my return"
The Holy Apostles all answered: "Yes!"
Cardinal Kid asked in a low voice: "How long will it be before you return?"
"I temporarily hid here, so I can only return when time is up. You don't need to worry, just focus on your duties and do what I tell you to do"
As the Pope said so, the black card disappeared without a trace.
The Holy Apostles stood up and began to carry out the Pope's order.
Very quickly, the entire Holy Church was moved.
Gu Qing Shan appeared on the S.W. Divine Temple Interstellar Fortress.
Everyone quickly gathered around him.
Only to see that he was covered in blood, his muscles were torn all over, the wounds all over his body were horrifying.
Such wounds can't be easily touched.
Anna was so worried that she didn't know what to do, so she hurriedly said: "Impartial Goddess, quickly arrange a shuttle, we need to send him to the capital for emergency treatment!"
Gu Qing Shan coughed up some blood and spoke with a hoarse voice: "No need, I can heal myself"
Saying so, he took out a bottle, poured out 2-3 pills and swallowed them.
Then he sat down cross-legged, formed a spirit gathering seal with both hands and fell into a meditative trance.
When Gu Qing Shan woke up again, it was already a day later.
The meridians in his body still felt as if they were being pricked by needles, and from time to time, he would feel an unbearable pain.
Fresh blood had formed a layer of scab on the surface of his entire body, and it hurt whenever he moved.
Her dantian was empty. Gu Qing Shan tried, but she couldn't gather any spiritual power.
As soon as he moved his Dantian, his Dantian started hurting as well.
What? Even his Dantian was injured?
Gu Qing Shan felt a little uneasy.
In the following period of time, he didn't even have the courage to move his dantian. He could only connect spirit pills from time to time to slowly repair his meridians and dantian.
He carefully tried releasing his inner sight — — fortunately, his inner sight was normal, which meant that there was nothing wrong with his Thought Sea.
Only then did he use his spiritual will to scan his body.
He was seriously injured.
There was no doubt that he was seriously injured.
His limbs and bones were all severely injured, and his meridians were on the verge of rupturing due to overexertion.
This was the heaviest injury Gu Qing Shan had ever suffered since her rebirth.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In my current state, even a normal person could easily kill me.
Seems like what the War God UI said was true, the Secret Art of Flowing Dragon isn't something that can be used at this stage.
But then again, if I hadn't persisted in cultivating this Secret Art, it would have been impossible for me to escape from the Pope's clutches.
At this point, Impartial Goddess' voice came.
[Sir, the medical pod is ready, can we start healing you now?]
"I can't, I need to first heal the wounds that modern medicine can't cure first"
Gu Qing Shan shook his head, took out a spirit pill, swallowed it, and entered a meditative state again.
Half a day later, he finally breathed out and said: "Send me to the medical pod to repair my body"
Anna carefully carried him up and brought him to the medical pod on the S.W. Divine Temple.
Very quickly, a mixture of nutrient fluid and cell repair fluid enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
As the hypnosis drug took effect, he fell into a deep sleep.
Three hours later, he woke up.
Releasing his inner sight to check his body, Gu Qing Shan found that his wounds were a bit better.
His wounds were still severe, but his overall condition was stable, his body was slowly recovering.
Looking at the people surrounding him, Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly and said: "I managed to keep my life"
Anna's eyes were red. She caressed his face and didn't say a word.
Jang Young-ho couldn't help but say: "If I knew it would be so dangerous, I wouldn't have gone to get the recipe"
"That thing is very important, I definitely would have gone"
"So you got what you wanted?"
"Hm, for the next step, I still need the Fuxi Empire's Elementalist Awakening Serum"
"Do you need the recipe or the serum itself?" Anna suddenly asked.
"What's the difference?"
"The Emperor definitely won't give the recipe to outsiders, but the serum can be sold"
She continued: "His Majesty the Emperor is a practical person, as long as he can afford it, he'll sell the serum"
"But I've never heard of anyone being able to buy such a top-notch serum" Jang Young-ho scowled.
"— — The Emperor isn't an idiot, he only sells it to people of the Fuxi Empire, and usually only uses it in front of him" Anna said.
"How much for a bottle?" Ye Fei Li asked.
"If converted to Federation Credits, it's 1.5 billion per bottle" Anna answered.
Ye Fei Li couldn't help but click her tongue.
"No wonder the Fuxi Emperor lives the most extravagant life among all the major countries, even the 9 Lords' aristocrats can't help but feel powerless" Jang Young-ho commented.
"But if that's the case, isn't he afraid that someone will use the serum to decipher the recipe?"
"No, the Empire's Pharmaceutics has already reached a level of genetic encryption, if anyone tries to test it, the entire bottle will immediately lose its effect"
"What if someone can decipher it?" Liao Xing asked with interest.
"If they have that kind of technology, they'll be able to create the same serum themselves"
"I don't have anything else, but I do have a bit of money, but I'm not sure if he'll sell it to me, because I'm a member of the Federation" Gu Qing Shan said.
Anna patted her chest and said: "Just leave it to me, maybe I'll even get a discount"
"Impartial Goddess, I authorize Anna to use my Federation Merit whenever she wants" Gu Qing Shan said.
[Very well, it's been verified] Impartial Goddess answered.
Anna glanced at him and scoffed.
All the men were confused.
Once she said she would do it, Anna didn't stay for even a second and directly boarded the small starry sky ship and left.
She quickly arrived at the Fuxi Empire and found the Emperor.
The Emperor was currently choosing a horse in the horse farm.
"A 99% purity Elementalist Awakening Serum?" the Emperor asked while stroking the large horse in front of him.
"That's right, Your Majesty, please sell me a bottle" Anna clasped her hands together and smiled, trying to flatter him.
The Emperor didn't say anything.
Anna immediately said: "I'll pay you however much you want"
"But I remember that your Fire Elemental has already awakened to the peak of the 4th stage, you don't need this" the Emperor slowly said.
"I'm not using it for myself, I'm giving it to Gu Qing Shan"
"Ah — –" the Emperor turned around and flashed a meaningful smile.
Anna's expression didn't change at all: "What is it, who doesn't want their man to be strong?"
The Emperor shook his head: "But he's not a Fuxi Empire citizen, that's breaking the rules"
Anna answered: "If he follows me, he'll leave the Federation sooner or later"
These words struck the bottom of the Emperor's heart.
"You're that confident?"
"Of course"
The Emperor smiled.
