Gu Qing Shan held the Earth Sword and read through the Quest description again.
Since there were words like [The sky is about to fall, the world is about to collapse], the System must've noticed something.
Shen Wu world will definitely change greatly from now on.
Secondly, the sealed sphere has to be used as soon as it's opened, otherwise it'll disappear.
It's hard to even guess what it is.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "System, what exactly is inside this sealed sphere?"
[Ting]!
The System replied: [The System isn't sure what it is either, it was too chaotic at the time, so the System randomly drew a type of power from your body in case it needed to travel through time, but it was a success, so I haven't used it, so it's left]
[The sealed sphere only keeps this power in place, it doesn't completely seal it, you can try to sense it to see what it is]
"Fine …" Gu Qing Shan helplessly said.
But in the past life, I've already reached the level of a Sword Saint, so the things I use are quite powerful — — -
Gu Qing Shan raised the sealed sphere in front of her and carefully sensed it.
Two flickering rays of light shone out of the sealed sphere.
One of them carried the sealed sphere, slightly vibrating in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
The other force followed closely behind, constantly chasing after the first force.
"So it's [Summon Soul Karma Sword], unfortunately it's useless in this world …"
Gu Qing Shan appeared nostalgic, a bit surprised and disappointed.
This sword style isn't very powerful, but because it's related to the Laws of the world, it has a special place among the many sword styles.
There are two styles in total.
The first style, [Summon Soul Sword], relies on the relic of the dead to summon souls from the Samsara to attack the enemy.
The second style, [Karma Sword], is a sure-hit style, its power comes from the total damage the soul can deal to the enemy.
Unfortunately, the souls come from the Samsara, so they don't have a physical body, so they can't deal much damage to the enemy.
So even if this style is sure-hit, it won't be able to unleash much of its power.
In the past life, [Summon Soul Karma Sword] was specifically used to deal with God's Chosens who have powerful abilities but weak bodies.
In both the cultivation world and Shen Wu world, cultivators' soul vessel and body are both very powerful, so this sword style shouldn't be of much use.
At this point, the Earth Sword in his hand stopped for a bit, as if asking him why he was silent.
"Since you've removed the seal, then I'll also be putting my life on the line" Gu Qing Shan spoke seriously, "none of our Bai Hua sect will die, I'll do everything in my power to change everything"
A heavy voice resounded from the Earth sword: 「 That is how it should be, I shall fight by your side 」
At this point, lines of notifications appeared on the War God UI.
"Player has successfully advanced to Golden Core realm, Soul Power limit expanded to 100."
"Currently, Soul Power has greatly increased the player's cultivation. According to the player's memory, the sword techniques that will not cause the player's body or soul to collapse are as follows."
[Secret Art: Drawn Shadow]
[As the user has a deep understanding of all Sword Styles, the Soul Points required to awaken past Sword Styles has been minimized]
[Awakening Secret Art: Drawn Shadow costs 10 Soul Points]
[Do you wish to awaken this Secret Art?]
Looking at this Secret Art, Gu Qing Shan was full of emotions.
This was a Secret Sword that he had discovered in an ancient ruin in his previous life when the final battle was nearing.
Unfortunately, he found it too late, as soon as he memorized the sword's contents, the final battle had already begun.
This Secret Art didn't even have time to shine before it disappeared along with that world.
Now that he's returned, all of his memories have been sealed, and because of the Secret Art's power, awakening it requires Soul Points.
But Soul Points can be obtained by killing enemies.
Looking at the Earth Sword in his hand, Gu Qing Shan was suddenly filled with pride.
I'm walking on a path that's constantly searching for power. From now on, I'll surpass myself step by step.
"I want to awaken this Secret Art" Gu Qing Shan said.
[User has spent 10 Soul Points, Secret Art: Drawn Shadow has been awakened]
At this point, Gu Qing Shan has a total of four Secret Arts, Water Flow Severance, Crescent Slash, Seven Stars Flowing Dragon, and Drawn Shadow.
Holding the Earth Sword, Gu Qing Shan walked in front of the lava wall.
Hesitating, he still hasn't attacked yet.
「 Don't worry 」 the Earth Sword's voice resounded in his mind, 「 I can sense how much force you want to use, it won't collapse this place in one strike 」
"Then that's good" Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
If every strike is 86,370,000 tons of force, then no matter how much force I use, this lava cave will definitely collapse.
From now on, he won't be able to use any non-lethal moves.
Fortunately, the Earth Sword has a spirit, able to communicate with him and understand his intentions.
Gu Qing Shan held the Earth Sword and lightly knocked on the lava wall.
The wall loosened, shaking the broken sword out.
The broken sword shook a bit, then quickly circled around Gu Qing Shan.
"Don't rush me, you're making me dizzy" Gu Qing Shan scowled.
Who would have thought that the sword would spin even faster?
"Fine, fine, I'll go now" Gu Qing Shan helplessly said.
From Golden Core onwards, a cultivator can already fly as they please, going in and out of the blue.
And now, he can go and get the sword.
Gu Qing Shan once again arrived at the edge of the lava lake, lightly leapt into the air and flew.
He flew all the way to the center of the lava lake, hovered in the air and lightly touched the hilt of the broken sword with the Earth Sword.
Clang!
The sword flew up from the lava and landed on the shore of the lava lake.
With a clang, the sword hit the ground and didn't move for a while.
The broken sword flew up and tapped the sword with its tip, as if it was calling out to it.
The sword was burned bright red, slowly stood up, turned around, and finally saw Gu Qing Shan.
It lightly tapped the hilt of the sword towards Gu Qing Shan.
"No need to be so polite, it was nothing" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He looked at his Quest UI.
[Quest name: Helping others is a joy]
[Quest description: Do everything within your power to help the sword and gain its goodwill]
[Quest objective: Complete the sword's request]
"Description: A successful start. Please keep up the good work!"
[(Completion status: Incomplete)]
What? It's still incomplete?
Didn't I already save this sword?
As Gu Qing Shan turned around, he saw the two swords flying towards him, circling around him.
"Stop spinning … I'm dizzy …"
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll go save it …"
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to fly up again, crossing the lava lake and heading deeper into the cave.
The surrounding temperature was getting hotter and hotter.
The air itself was warping, making it impossible to see what's ahead of them.
Gu Qing Shan scowled, then released his inner sight to scout ahead.
For some reason, inner sight can only be released up to 10 meters away, aside from scouting, there's nothing else it can do.
This cave is incredibly deep.
Even with Gu Qing Shan's speed as a Golden Core cultivator, it took him about half an hour to reach the entrance of the cave.
It was a long journey.
The two swords hovered at the entrance of the cave.
Outside the entrance was a dark mist that gave off a red glow.
"We're here? Hoh, we're finally here "
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and walked to the entrance of the cave.
He looked out of the cave and his expression suddenly changed.
"This is — — -"
A scorching hot gust of wind rose from the ground, blowing Gu Qing Shan's hair and clothes upwards.
Gu Qing Shan's expression was solemn.
Outside the cave was a bottomless cliff.
At the bottom of the cliff, boiling lava covered the ground and continued to flow into the depths of the earth.
Gu Qing Shan observed the lava for a while.
Then he suddenly said: "This isn't right"
It really isn't right. The lava seems to be sentient, moving extremely quickly like a flowing river.
As long as they found a crack, all the lava would immediately rush up and try to melt that area.
But real lava isn't like this.
The ground was constantly being melted by the lava, but the lava was also slowly sinking deeper into the ground.
Seeing that he had reached the entrance of the cave, the two swords flew towards the other side of the cliff, quickly disappearing into the void of darkness.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, but then saw the two swords flying back, swinging slightly as if urging him.
"Alright"
Gu Qing Shan leapt up and flew above the river of lava.
The two swords were flying in front of him while Gu Qing Shan was flying behind, quickly reaching the other side.
This was the other side of the cliff.
There was also a cave entrance here. At the entrance, there was a small winding path that seemed to lead straight underground.
As Gu Qing Shan landed and was about to take a step forward, he suddenly flew back and carefully observed the cave.
He touched the outside of the cliff, then casually released a light to illuminate his surroundings.
Only to see that the vertical surface of the cliff was wavy and lumpy.
The grey mud-like outer layer hung down from the top of the cliff, forming a vertical, multi-faceted pillar that was full of cracks.
This was a scene that would only appear after the lava passed through the surface of the ground.
A shocking truth appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
— — -this lava was falling straight down from the ground, continuously corroding and dissolving as it went deeper into the ground.
"Is this all caused by the rain of fire?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The two swords were vibrating at once.
"It really is a rain of fire … how could it be like this …" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
The cooling process of lava was a very quick one, but this lava had been burning all the way from the surface all the way down to the ground.
The only way for this lava to maintain its temperature was if it was sentient, or if it was fueled by spirit energy.
But who would be able to fuel such a terrifying rain of fire?
After all, the rain of fire in the sky never stopped. If it was a cultivator, their spirit energy wouldn't be able to keep up with this level of consumption.
No cultivator would be able to do such a thing, not even the three Saints.
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, the two swords returned and circled around him.
"Alright, alright, let's go"
He silently remembered this and followed the swords into the lava cave again.
The long journey began again.
