In this part of the lava cave, more and more paths appeared one after another.
If it weren't for the two swords leading the way, Gu Qing Shan felt that she wouldn't have been able to make it this far.
They trekked for several hours.
The air became thick and hot, the temperature quickly rose.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but release her spirit energy to cut herself off from the outside world.
Suddenly, a faintly discernible presence appeared, causing Gu Qing Shan to be cautious.
"Spirit energy wave? … Such pure spirit energy … "
He frowned in surprise.
Who would've thought there would be spirit energy waves in this kind of place.
— — -ever since entering Shen Wu world, other than the demons, the cultivators haven't seen any living beings.
They did find a few Sainted realm Martial cultivators' corpses, but this time, they didn't find anything.
According to the three Saints' deductions, humanity in this world has already been wiped out by the demons.
But right now, Gu Qing Shan sensed spirit energy.
That's a bit unimaginable.
This place is already very far from the surface, the lava cave is filled with holes, it's almost impossible to go back the way they came.
With the Earth Sword in hand, Gu Qing Shan carefully moved forward.
In front of another lava cave, the two swords finally stopped.
Gu Qing Shan flew forward, looked outside, then exclaimed in shock: "How is this possible!"
Outside of the cave was another cliff.
But the bottom of this cliff wasn't flowing lava.
It was a dry lake.
In the middle of the lake, there was a hole about the size of a bowl.
The abundant spiritual energy turned into white mist and rose from the hole.
The two swords moved in the air, then dropped down.
Gu Qing Shan's body moved, following them down.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Gu Qing Shan quickly walked in front of the bowl-sized hole.
Inside this small hole, there was a thin layer of water.
A small fish was floating listlessly in the water.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan forgot everything else.
The Shen Wu world where all living beings are extinct, who would've thought there would still be such a small fish hiding deep underground.
The Spiritual Qi here was so abundant. It was obvious that this place used to be a Spirit Vein, and the Earth Spring just happened to grow on the Spirit Vein.
Although the surroundings had been completely evaporated by the high temperature, leaving only the mouth of the spring the size of a bowl, the fish was still tenaciously living.
This is the miracle of life.
It might be the last life in this world.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing Shan immediately patted her Storage Pouch and released a few dozen square meters of Spirit Spring.
This was collected from the most famous spirit spring in Bai Hua Immortal Country. Normally, Gu Qing Shan used this spring water to wash herself and drink tea.
Cold and full of water vapor filled this space.
The lethargic little fish sensed the cold air and immediately twisted its body, jumping out of the water and looking at the spirit spring.
There was a thirst in its eyes.
The two long swords pointed at the sword hilt in unison, as if hinting for it to enter quickly.
Xiaoyu looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan said, "Come."
Little Fish immediately rushed into the spirit spring.
It swam around inside the spirit spring, clearly very excited.
The two swords were also hovering on the side, watching this without moving.
Suddenly, the little fish jumped out of the water, swam in front of Gu Qing Shan, then pointed at his forehead three times.
With each tap, a white dot of light would enter between Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows.
After three taps, three glowing dots appeared on Gu Qing Shan's forehead.
The light slowly fused into one and entered between his eyebrows.
After these three taps, the little fish returned to the water and continued to enjoy the cool air.
Feeling a cold sensation, Gu Qing Shan felt very comfortable.
A few lines of notification appeared on the War God UI.
[The System did not provide any reward, but you've obtained a gift from an unknown entity]
[You've obtained a Dragon Fish Pearl]
[Dragon Fish Pearl: Able to heal wounds on the soul vessel in an extremely short amount of time]
This is a rare treasure!
Feeling the cool sensation on his forehead, Gu Qing Shan looked at the little fish in surprise.
"Thank you very much" he said.
The fish jumped out of the water, then dived back in again, a few times in a row.
From the looks of it, it seems to be saying thank you for the spirit spring.
Gu Qing Shan nodded, then told the fish and the two swords: "If there's nothing else, we'll leave first"
Unexpectedly, the two swords began to circle around him again.
"… Is there anything else?"
"Alright, lead the way" Gu Qing Shan helplessly said.
And so, the two swords led the way, Gu Qing Shan was in the middle, the fish carried the spirit spring and hovered in the air, continuing to move forward.
At the bottom of the cliff, besides the spirit spring, there were countless lava caves.
Not too long after they left, red lava slowly flowed out from the cave they came from.
This underground area was slowly being surrounded by lava.
And the spirit spring that was originally giving off abundant spirit essence was no longer able to resist the heat, nor was there any spirit essence left.
After the little fish left, the spirit spring quickly dried up and disappeared.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan, together with the two swords and the floating fish, had already gone very far.
They went into one lava cave after another, once again entering the long and arduous journey.
A few hours later, the heat slowly subsided.
A chilling air slowly filled the air as they moved forward.
"Cold air?" Gu Qing Shan scowled.
How could there be cold air at such a deep place?
While she was thinking, the two swords stopped at the entrance of the cave.
Gu Qing Shan walked forward, stood at the entrance and looked outside.
The cliff again.
What was different from the previous times was that this was the true end.
Outside the cave was an endless abyss of cold.
Whether you look up, level up, or down, all you could see was darkness.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't see anything, even his inner sight couldn't sense anything.
He tapped his Inventory Bag, took out a jade bottle and threw it into the abyss of darkness.
In the blink of an eye, the jade bottle turned into fine sand, falling down into the abyss.
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
Such terrifying power, almost like sword phantoms that had been condensed to the extreme.
Beside him, two long swords danced in the air, one above the other, as if they were trying to signal something.
"I'll die if I get close? Don't worry, I won't go over "Gu Qing Shan replied.
He couldn't help but ask: "But, what are we doing here?"
The two swords started to cut away at the wall of lava, slowly peeling away the rock to reveal what was inside.
It was a small formation plate, covered in dust and ash, looking very old.
This place was completely cut off from inner sight, if the two swords didn't act, Gu Qing Shan wouldn't have known that there was a formation plate here.
The two swords carefully cut away all the dirt.
The small fish lightly swung its tail, using a stream of water to wash the formation plate clean.
The stream of water turned into a hand, lightly holding the formation plate in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"A teleportation formation plate? I'll … come back after I get stronger? "
Gu Qing Shan asked.
The two swords and the fish both nodded.
They stared deeply at Gu Qing Shan for a while, then flew into the abyss of darkness.
They disappeared.
As Gu Qing Shan held the formation plate, the War God UI appeared.
[Golden Core Thaumaturgy drawing Quest 2: Helping others has been completed]
[If you cannot become stronger, you will not be able to trigger the third Quest. You will receive the final evaluation of the Thaumaturgy drawing based on the completion rate of both Quests]
After reading through this, Gu Qing Shan silently stood there for a while.
「 What is it? 」 the Earth sword's heavy voice came.
"I want to know, what should I do to save Shifu's life" Gu Qing Shan asked.
