Gu Qing Shan is currently at a crucial point in his cultivation, so he was going to wait for the Tianma to get close to him before suddenly attacking.
But the Earth Sword took the initiative to kill the Tianma.
Gu Qing Shan's inner sight flashed.
That's right, this is a divine weapon protecting its master — — -so the Earth Sword has a spirit!
Different from the broken sword stuck in the wall, the Earth Sword is hovering next to him, guarding him.
The Earth Sword spoke in a low voice: 「 Focus, break through 」
Gu Qing Shan calmed himself down, closed his eyes and entered the breakthrough state again.
That's right, this is a very crucial moment.
Everything can wait until after he breaks through.
Gu Qing Shan silently began to use Hundred Saints Core Formation Script to break through to Golden Core realm.
Everything is going smoothly, so smoothly that it's almost ridiculous.
Ever since the battle with the Holy Church's Pope, Gu Qing Shan feels like he's already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment realm.
Because his body was heavily injured before, he couldn't break through.
But now he's in a critical situation. His body is completely healed, so it's time for him to seek more power!
Gu Qing Shan's spirit energy is already full, so his mental state is also at its peak.
In the underground passageway that was faintly suffused with red light, the dazzling blue light gathered together and produced a qualitative change.
The blue light slowly turned into a blinding white lightning spirit energy, then turned into several lightning snakes, circling around Gu Qing Shan.
As time goes by, more and more lightning spirit energy gathered to form lightning snakes, swimming around the entire tunnel.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly opened his eyes, formed a hand seal and shouted: "Combine!"
In a split second, all the lightning snakes combined into one, turning into a lightning dragon.
The dragon circled around a bit, then suddenly descended and drilled into Gu Qing Shan's head.
This is Spirit Manifestation, representing a cultivator's Foundation Establishment realm cultivation has reached the peak.
A Golden Core isn't a round Dan.
Golden Core realm is when a cultivator's spirit energy breaks free from its muddled state, slowly awakening and turning into a unique spirit object.
This spirit object is called Spirit Manifestation.
Materialized Spirit Light was much more powerful than spirit force. It could be used to attack others, but it could also be used to defend oneself. It could also be used for refining, alchemy, divination, formation construction, and so on.
Forming the Manifestation Spirit Light wasn't too difficult. Being able to do this meant that he was halfway through his breakthrough.
Next, he had to absorb the terrifyingly powerful spiritual light into his dantian.
Once the spirit light was completely absorbed into the dantian, the body wouldn't die because of this, and the Golden Core Realm would be achieved.
This was an extremely dangerous process that could easily injure one's dantian.
Many cultivators fell at this moment.
Even more people had their Dantian severely injured and had to spend a few years recuperating before they could attempt to break through again.
Gu Qing Shan carefully guided the light, refining it bit by bit.
Even if he had completely comprehended the Hundred Sages Core Formation Method, he still had to be extremely careful during the process.
At this time, a ghost-faced monster peeked its head out from the void of space.
The monster's aura was brilliant, and the fiery red light in the air was dyed black by it.
It stared at Gu Qing Shan, drooling.
『What a tempting piece of flesh …』
Before it could finish, the Earth Sword flashed.
The monster screamed in pain as it was pierced into pieces.
The monster also disappeared into the void of space.
The Earth Sword returned, hovering in front of Gu Qing Shan and continued to protect her.
Gu Qing Shan was still refining the light.
A few moments later.
The surroundings were filled with all sorts of strange noises. Muffled whispers, the sounds of tearing, chewing, swallowing, screaming, cursing, crying, all sorts of different sounds, too many to count.
The Earth Sword flew up, circled around in the air, then abruptly emitted an invisible force.
A heavy mountainous voice came from the Earth Sword, echoing throughout the entire cave.
『All Tianma and heretics, get close and die!』
Hoh!
An intense wind blew.
The invisible shockwave turned into a gust of wind, howling back and forth in the cave.
In a split second, the gust of wind scattered, all sounds returned to silence. No more sounds could be heard from the void of space.
It was now that the Earth Sword returned, hovering next to Gu Qing Shan.
Time slowly passed.
A phantom dragon suddenly manifested from Gu Qing Shan's back.
This phantom gave off a blinding glow of Elemental Lightning.
The refinement had reached its final moments.
Gu Qing Shan wasn't afraid, instead entering a state of oblivion.
He attached his Divine Sense to the dragon-shaped shadow and carefully and quickly refined it as if he was spinning silk from a cocoon.
The phantom dragon slowly disappeared, while Gu Qing Shan's presence continued to rise.
When the phantom dragon completely disappeared, Gu Qing Shan's spirit energy also skyrocketed.
All of a sudden, a crack appeared in the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan felt himself leaving his body, being sucked into the chaotic space vortex.
A mysterious force was pulling him towards a certain direction.
Along the way, many strange things brushed past him.
A Time Tortoise that was taller than a mountain, dragging a small island behind it, slowly moving through the space-time vortex.
Dozens of bewitching and beautiful Heavenly Enchantresses were riding colorful flower petals, singing a beautiful song as they flew towards a glowing door.
A phantom soul that looked exactly like him flew past him with a fearful expression, fell into a large vortex, and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan could even see a black lighthouse slowly disappearing from below the space-time vortex.
As Gu Qing Shan flew, he felt a familiar sensation.
Instinctively, he understood that he was heading towards the world of the bronze pillar.
Within the space-time vortex, there was no concept of time, so Gu Qing Shan didn't know how long he had been floating. Suddenly, the force pulling him became stronger.
This force was like a rapid torrent, crowding around and pushing him, bringing him into a world of ignorance.
Gu Qing Shan's vision blurred, then a pillar appeared in front of him.
The bronze pillar.
Another bronze pillar!
The bronze pillar stood tall, so tall that he couldn't even see the top or the bottom.
A ten-story tall corpse was nailed to the body of the bronze pillar.
The corpse's head was lowered, wearing a full set of black armor, seemingly dead for who knows how long.
Below the corpse, the world was filled with black skeletons.
The skeletons were trying their best to climb up the bronze pillar.
It was clear that they wanted the corpse.
"Long time no see" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 It hasn't been that long, I've only been here for 15 minutes 」 the corpse in the black armor replied.
"You didn't answer the question from last time, I need that answer" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 Ah, that question, you saw it last time as well, as soon as I answer it, I'll be hit by the Lightning of Extinction 」
The giant corpse changed the topic and asked: 「 Do you still remember our deal? 」
"When I'm strong enough, I'll definitely save you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Very well 」 the corpse's tone was a bit pleased, 「 As a mutual promise, I'll answer that question, but only after a while 」
"Why?"
「 Because as soon as I tell you that, I'll be punished, my power won't be able to keep you here 」
The corpse paused, a bit surprised: 「 You have the presence of several worlds on you, which means, you're currently at war? 」
"Yes, I'm currently in another world" Gu Qing Shan answered.
「 Sure enough, there's an eternal struggle between worlds 」 the corpse sighed emotionally.
Gu Qing Shan had something on her mind, so she didn't pay much attention to what it said and quickly asked: "If a Sainted realm cultivator has a premonition that they're about to die, will this premonition always come true?"
The corpse answered: 「 The stronger they are, if they have a premonition, the easier it is for that premonition to come true 」
The corpse continued: 「 Sainted realm can already cross the River of Fate and faintly see their own future 」
"In other words, it will definitely come true?" Gu Qing Shan didn't give up and asked.
「 Not completely, but there's a 90% chance it will come true 」
"Is there a way to avoid it?"
The corpse paused, then said: 「 Look at me, I'm ten thousand times stronger than a Sainted realm cultivator, but I couldn't avoid the premonition 」
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
The corpse continued: 「 But, it's not like there's no way at all 」
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked: "What should I do?"
The corpse mocked himself: 「 Take me as an example, the premonition has already told me what will happen to me, but I can't do anything about it, because no one can help me 」
「 I'm so strong, so strong that I don't even have a single friend, that's why I ended up like this 」
"You think someone can help you? It can't be that simple "Gu Qing Shan was a bit doubtful.
The corpse answered: 「 This is like a river full of undercurrents, when you're about to sink to the bottom, you need someone to give you a push in order for you to deviate from your intended path 」
「 At the most crucial moment, the most crucial push might be able to change the premonition of death 」
「 But you have to remember, the one who pushes you will have to pay the price 」
「 What price? A life for a life? 」
「 No, that's not necessarily the case, I don't know what the price is, but there are bound to be some unknown and unpredictable things that happen 」
The giant corpse reminded her: 「 I hope that the one who pushes you isn't you, because you're still too weak, you won't be able to handle anything too strange 」
