All the swords had left.
The entire underground abyss was empty.
There was no more sword qi as deep as the sea.
There was no longer the sound of hundreds of millions of sword spirits buzzing.
Silence reigned.
Suddenly, a faint trembling sound could be heard.
Gu Qing Shan raised her sword.
The Chao Yin sword was trembling, a little, a little.
"No need to feel bad"
Gu Qing Shan told the sword.
"In the end, to be able to bravely move forward for your own path is better than being alone for ten thousand years"
"This is what a sword cultivator should be"
Gu Qing Shan hovered in the air, surrounded by vertical walls of rock all around him. Below his feet was a bottomless abyss.
Deep inside the abyss, a grey Tribulation cloud had completely covered the entire abyss.
Gu Qing Shan lowered her sword and looked up.
If one day, when I die, will I also be able to die in such a heroic manner?
He didn't have time to think about it, nor did he have time to sigh.
He couldn't care less.
Because billions of screams and howls could be heard coming from the ruins below the sea of swords.
Gu Qing Shan quickly flew downwards, slowly landing outside the Tribulation.
The ruins were covered in grey fog. Shadows and shadows filled the entire space.
Countless monsters appeared, attacking Hundred Flowers Fairy.
Each of these monsters was as powerful as a Sainted realm cultivator.
They attacked in unison, not stopping for even a second, as if they wanted to kill Hundred Flowers Fairy on the spot.
The situation had reached its most dangerous point.
Hundred Flowers Fairy's body spun, the vine whip in her hand was quickly covered in white.
As Gu Qing Shan looked carefully, she saw small white flowers sprouting from the whip, blooming.
Hundred Flowers Fairy's hair instantly turned white.
She flicked the whip.
All the flowers scattered, turning into petals that filled the sky, falling down to the ruins below.
As the countless monsters within the Wind Tribulation saw these petals, they all screamed in fear.
They seemed to be very wary of these petals, trying their best to avoid them, afraid that they would be touched by them.
They were supposed to be the ones attacking, but as soon as these petals appeared, they became the ones running for their lives.
Soon, the entire Wind Tribulation dissipated.
Hundred Flowers Fairy descended and made a hand seal.
The petals that filled the sky immediately flew back into the long whip and disappeared.
As the petals returned, Hundred Flowers Fairy's white hair gradually returned to black.
"So it's a group of cowards, not even daring to perish together," she said.
With that, she closed her eyes.
In the void, a door opened, and a huge amount of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy rushed out.
There was not a trace of impurities in the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth. As soon as it appeared, it condensed into a liquid state and flowed into the Hundred Flowers Fairy's head like water.
This was Shen Wu world's purest Origin power.
Once a cultivator reached this step, they would need to obtain the gift of the World Origin in order to obtain enough power to advance to the next stage.
It was because the cultivation world lacked this kind of fundamental power that the highest cultivators could reach was Sainted realm.
And Shen Wu world's Origin power is strong enough to help a cultivator go even further.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy absorbed the World's Origin Power with all her might.
After a while, the door in the void of space slowly disappeared.
Hundred Flowers Fairy's body began to emit spirit energy waves as vast as the sea.
The spirit energy waves swept across the entire ruin like a gust of wind.
Hundred Flowers Fairy suddenly opened her eyes and sighed: "I should have reached this realm a long time ago"
She had finally reached Projection realm.
Gu Qing Shan flew down and said: "Congratulations, Shifu"
Hundred Flowers Fairy looked at him and smiled: "It's all thanks to you for bringing me here and protecting me"
She sighed emotionally: "I, Xie Dao Ling, have always been alone, I've always been the one helping others, no one has ever helped me"
At this point, she didn't say anything else.
The Wild Raging Flame Armor also landed and spoke: "The situation outside isn't good, you need to go save your world's cultivators"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "How strong are they?"
"There are a few hundred cultivators this time, including a Projection realm cultivator"
"They have that many Projection realm cultivators?" Gu Qing Shan asked doubtfully.
"From what I've seen, they have a total of four Projection realm cultivators, two of them died just now, so there are still two left"
Hundred Flowers Fairy said: "I'll go meet him and experience this realm for a bit"
"I'll go as well" Gu Qing Shan also said.
"No, you need to stay here" Hundred Flowers Fairy sternly told her, "your realm is too low, if I can't protect you in time, you'll be killed"
Saying so, her body moved and disappeared from the ruin.
Only the Wild Raging Flame Armor and Gu Qing Shan were left.
"You're really looking down on me" Gu Qing Shan complained: "Didn't my Shifu see what happened just now?"
The Wild Raging Flame Armor replied: "The last moment of your attack was when the Wind Tribulation was at its peak. The Wind Tribulation had turned into a small world, unable to see what was happening outside"
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He suddenly froze and didn't say anything else.
In his retina, the War God UI was glowing.
Notifications popped up one after another.
[Thaumaturgy Quest 6 completed]
[Thaumaturgy Quest 7 begins now]
[Description: This is the final step of the Thaumaturgy Quest]
[Quest description: The power of the sea of swords isn't enough to threaten a Tribulation realm cultivator's life. In two days, the other party will surpass Tribulation realm and enter Virtualized realm]
[According to the System's judgment, with the other party's strength, surviving the Tribulation shouldn't be an issue]
[Two days later, the Virtualized realm cultivator will descend upon this world with his wrath]
[Quest objective: He has locked onto your presence, you must think of a way to survive, even if it's almost impossible]
[Quest reward: Golden Core/Rejuvenation realm Thaumaturgy lottery]
[Attention user!]
[Considering that the user is about to die at the hands of a Virtualized realm cultivator, the System has begun the Thaumaturgy lottery ahead of time]
[If the Quest is completed, the reward will be kept]
[Even if the Quest is failed, the reward will not be taken back, because you will already be dead]
[Golden Core/Rejuvenation realm Thaumaturgy lottery begins now]
The large glass orb in the middle of the War God UI was slowly being filled with water.
The water quickly filled the entire orb.
Seven different colored aquatic animals appeared inside the orb.
A koi fish.
A tortoise.
A toad.
A jade-faced crown carp.
A crab.
A goldfish.
An old turtle.
[A total of seven Thaumaturgies have appeared for this dual realm Thaumaturgy lottery]
[Each aquatic animal represents a Thaumaturgy]
The System's voice came: [Please choose one of the seven aquatic animals to complete your Thaumaturgy lottery Quest]
"Why is it like this?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
[Because Shen Wu world was originally an ocean, the corresponding Laws of the World Source manifested as aquatic animals, it wasn't intentional by the System] the War God System replied.
"Is there a Divine Skill in here?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[There is a possibility that a certain aquatic animal contains a Divine Skill]
Gu Qing Shan asked directly: "Then, which aquatic animal represents a Divine Skill?"
[Please don't ask such a difficult question]
The War God System paused a bit, then continued: [The System can only guide the Law of Heaven and Earth, the System cannot pry into or control the truth behind the Law, the user will need to find out for themselves]
Gu Qing Shan didn't give up: "So many Quests before didn't give me any rewards, surely you should give me some clues now?"
The System went silent for a bit, then finally replied: [This Thaumaturgy lottery comes from the Origin of Law of Shen Wu world, perhaps you can ask a friend who is familiar with Shen Wu world]
"I don't have any in Shen Wu world — — -" halfway through, Gu Qing Shan stopped.
He looked at the Chao Yin sword in his hand.
He suddenly remembered the System's explanation when the Chao Yin sword first appeared.
[In the Age of Old, Shen Wu world was an endless ocean, the Divinities forged this sword before they left to rule over the four seas]
[The wielder of this sword is the king of the seas]
[This sword has been through countless years, it is now damaged, you will need to repair it to be able to use its power]
— — -this sword has been through countless years, and was forged by the Divinities.
If we're talking about familiarity with this world, it would be the best.
Not to mention, the Chao Yin sword's attribute is closely related to the sea, so it might be able to see through the water creatures manifested by the Laws and see the truth behind it.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked: "System, can you let the Chao Yin sword see the crystal ball?"
[If you ask, I can]
"Let it see"
"Understood"
Gu Qing Shan raised the Chao Yin sword with both hands, pointing it at the crystal ball on the War God UI.
Sure enough, the Chao Yin sword vibrated a bit, clearly curious.
Gu Qing Shan answered: "That's right, I'm about to awaken my Thaumaturgy, can you help me take a look?"
"Help me pick the strongest Thaumaturgy" he added.
The Chao Yin sword hovered in the air, slowly circled around the crystal ball once, then vibrated three times towards Gu Qing Shan.
"You want me to choose according to my own characteristics?" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
That's a good hint.
"Thank you first, if I get a Thaumaturgy I like, I'll think of a way to repair you!" he promised.
The Chao Yin sword spun a few times in the air, then landed in Gu Qing Shan's hand, unable to be thrown away.
"No need to be so enthusiastic, hah, fine! Fine! "
Gu Qing Shan could only hold the Chao Yin sword.
He looked at the crystal ball.
7 Thaumaturgies were waiting for him to choose.
And now the Chao Yin sword also gave him a hint.
Gu Qing Shan began to make his final decision.
"My own characteristics …" he mused.
The toad, the old turtle, and the turtle were all eliminated.
He looked at the crystal ball again, then eliminated the crab and goldfish.
Only the koi and jade-faced crown fish remained.
One of the two.
He looked at the two fishes very seriously.
As he looked at the jade-faced crown fish, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but touch his forehead.
Doesn't seem like it.
The jade-faced crown fish was eliminated.
Only the beautiful koi fish was left, swimming leisurely in the glass ball.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but clicked his tongue, suddenly thinking of a poem from the Age of Old.
The silky fowl hid the fragrance of the lotus, the koi circled the island.
The more he looked, the more he liked it, so he said: "I choose the koi"
A notification popped up on the War God UI.
[Because the user's cultivation is rapidly increasing, and the situation is dire, the System has specially rewarded you with a Golden Core/Rejuvenation dual realm Thaumaturgy]
[This is a once in a lifetime chance, once you've chosen, you can't regret it]
[Are you sure you've made your choice?]
Gu Qing Shan coldly smirked. Don't try this with me, do you really think I'll choose the turtle or the old turtle?
"I've chosen, it's the koi" he said.
As soon as he said so, all the other aquatic animals inside the crystal ball disappeared.
The koi suddenly turned around and glanced at Gu Qing Shan.
The crystal ball disappeared.
The koi lightly swam, came out of the War God UI and went into Gu Qing Shan's body.
[You've drawn a Golden Core/Rejuvenation dual realm Thaumaturgy]
[You've obtained a Divine Skill: [Shadow Shift]]
[[Shadow Shift]: Divine Skill, instant cast. You can switch places with anything within the range of your inner sight]
