Xiang Ji Hall.
This was where all of the sect's resources were stored.
Deep inside the library.
Gu Qing Shan used Zhao Wu Chui's seal to open a secret room.
He led Shannu, Qing Rou and Wan Er inside.
There were about a dozen rows of jade tags inside.
The best scriptures of the entire sect were all here.
This was the personal collection of Grand Elder Wang Hong Dao for thousands of years.
Normally, his disciple Zhao Wu Chui was in charge of this place.
It was impossible for anyone else to enter.
One time, Qi Ruo Ya tried to enter, but was stopped by Wang Hong Dao.
Wang Hong Dao's reason was that he was personally organizing this place, preparing to compile it into a secret scripture.
Wang Hong Dao accused Qi Ruo Ya of trying to steal his cultivation knowledge.
Qi Ruo Ya was the sect master of Guang Yang sect, about the same rank as Wang Hong Dao, but being accused like that in front of everyone, he couldn't back down.
From then on, almost no one was able to enter this place.
Ever since Gu Qing Shan came here, this was the first time the secret room had so many guests.
Inside the secret room.
As Gu Qing Shan's inner sight scanned the entire place, he understood.
The first row had 73 jade tags, all of them about talismans.
There were a total of ninety-six jade scrolls in the second row, and they were all Martial Path Hidden Arts.
The third row had 31 jade tags, all of them about Metal Elemental secret arts.
The fourth row had 164 jade tags, all of them about formations.
…
Time was limited, so Wang Hong Dao couldn't be sure when he would return.
Zhao Wu Chui guaranteed that Wang Hong Dao wouldn't return for at least half a day.
But Gu Qing Shan was still a bit doubtful.
He didn't trust him.
To save time, Gu Qing Shan quickly divided the work.
"Qing Rou, you've always had a good eye, come pick out the formation jade tags with me, I want to take a look right now"
"You're a formation user as well?" Wan Er curiously asked.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and silently thought: I'm going to be one soon.
"Very well, I'll help you pick"
Qing Rou looked at him in surprise, but quickly agreed.
Both she and Wan Er were Tribulation realm cultivators.
She definitely had a good eye for picking out formation jade tags.
"Me too!"
Wan-er said excitedly.
Gu Qing Shan tapped her Inventory Bag, took out a large bag of blank jade tags, and stuffed them into Wan Er's hands.
"Wan Er, you have other work to do — — we don't have enough people right now, so you need to make a copy of all the jade tags here. This is a lot of work, so I'll have Shannu help you"
"Alright, I know what to do."
Wan Er bit her lip and left with Shannu.
Seeing that the three women were busy, Gu Qing Shan also prepared to comprehend the Dao of Array Formations.
He had just taken a step when he heard a crisp "ding".
This was the system's voice again!
Gu Qing Shan immediately stopped.
Ever since the last divine ability extraction, the system had fallen into silence. No matter how he tried to contact it, there was no response.
At this moment, the System seemed to have returned!
"Are you alright?" Gu Qing Shan immediately asked.
"Thank you for your concern. Although it was very dangerous, I've already completed my exploration of this world's origin."
The system quickly replied.
"Now please look at the screen."
Many notifications quickly appeared on the War God UI.
[Attempting to sense this world's Law of Origin]
[Discovered that this world's Law of Origin has almost been completely devoured]
[After 391 evaluations, confirmed that this world's Law of Origin no longer has enough to form a new Thaumaturgy]
[In view of this unprecedented situation, please make a decision based on the following two options]
[First: Temporarily give up on the Thaumaturgy, use the remaining Origin of this world to forcefully evolve a Thaumaturgy that can be upgraded]
[Second: Permanently give up on Sainted realm Thaumaturgy, use the remaining Origin of this world to forcefully evolve an existing Thaumaturgy that can be upgraded]
Gu Qing Shan quickly read through all the notifications.
He muses: "This world's Law of Origin has already been consumed by the realm demon?"
[Yes, the Origin is already empty, only a tiny bit is left] the System answered.
"If the world's Law of Origin is completely gone, what will happen to the world?"
[The world will collapse]
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed and asked: "How long until the world collapses?"
[That's hard to say, the world's destruction is a very complicated process, it could happen in the next second, or a few days later, but it shouldn't be more than 7 days]
7 days!
It could collapse at any moment!
I don't have much time left.
Gu Qing Shan forced himself to calm down.
He slowly asked: "If I use that bit of the world's Origin to strengthen my Thaumaturgy, will it affect this world?"
[It won't, this world's collapse is already set in stone, whether or not that bit of the world's Origin still exists, it won't affect the overall situation]
Gu Qing Shan decisively said: "Very well, I want to use that bit of power of the Origin to immediately strengthen an existing Thaumaturgy that can be upgraded"
[Understood] the System replied.
New lines of glowing text appeared on the interface.
[Special Quest: "Wu San must die" reward has been used]
[Searching for your upgradeable Thaumaturgy]
[You only have one upgradeable Thaumaturgy]
[Your upgradeable Thaumaturgy is: Lightning]
[Lightning Thaumaturgy 1st stage: Loss of Control, learned]
[Lightning Thaumaturgy 2nd stage: Paralysis, learned]
[Your upgradeable Thaumaturgy is: Lightning Thaumaturgy, learned]
[Your upgradeable Thaumaturgy is: Lightning Thaumaturgy 3rd stage]
[Would you like to use the last bit of power of the Suspended world's Origin to evolve your Lightning Thaumaturgy?]
The darkness on the War God UI slowly faded.
The Sainted realm Thaumaturgy Quest has disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally.
This can't be helped.
No matter how powerful a Thaumaturgy is, if it can't be obtained, it's nothing but a mirage.
Right now, he needs to take advantage of any power he can.
This is a struggle for survival.
As soon as the Thaumaturgy Quest disappeared, a long streak of light appeared.
This streak of light took up the entire UI, constantly moving and changing its shape.
As Gu Qing Shan stared at the streak of light, it stopped moving.
[It has begun]
The System reminded him.
Three blue orbs of light appeared from the streak of light.
The three orbs of light silently hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan.
[Please choose one of the three options to complete the evolution of your Lightning Thaumaturgy]
[Attention, this is the 3rd stage of your Lightning Thaumaturgy, you've already touched the edge of the Laws, each of the options is considerably powerful, please choose carefully]
The System reminded him again.
"Very well" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He looked at one of the orbs of light.
Following his gaze, a few lines of text appeared next to the orb of light.
[Thousand Worlds Divine Lightning of Annihilation: Infuse your next attack with Thousand Worlds Divine Lightning of Annihilation, increasing damage against demons and revenants by 1000%]
[Description: Lightning itself contains the power of Smiting, the 3rd stage of your Lightning Thaumaturgy allows you to compress Thousand Worlds Divine Lightning of Annihilation into a single orb, then use it as a one-time attack]
1000% damage, what a powerful evolved Thaumaturgy!
Reading through the description of this Thaumaturgy, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but shake his head.
The one he needs to deal with right now is Wang Hong Dao.
This is a living Virtualized realm cultivator, not a demon or revenant.
If I choose this Thaumaturgy, I won't be able to get any help at all.
I can only give up.
If time wasn't so tight, Gu Qing Shan might consider it a bit more.
He looked at the second orb of light.
[Elemental Lightning Divine Sense: Through the Law of Lightning, you will be able to sense fate from the unseen, allowing you to frequently sense what's going to happen in the next moment during battle]
[Description: This Thaumaturgy cannot be used as a prophecy Thaumaturgy, it is more suitable for giving you premonitions during battle to avoid dangerous situations of death]
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
This is a Thaumaturgy similar to battle intuition.
Grasping this Thaumaturgy will grant you a great advantage in a battle of equal strength.
Unfortunately, the enemy I'm about to face is several realms higher than me.
Even with the help of such a powerful Thaumaturgy, Gu Qing Shan doesn't think he'll be able to win in a direct confrontation.
Gu Qing Shan glanced past this orb of light and looked at the third orb of light.
[Severance: After being struck by your Elemental Lightning, the enemy's consciousness will be separated from their body, lasting for 3 seconds]
[Description: This is an upgraded Thaumaturgy that causes loss of control and rigidity, no living being is immune to it]
[Description: This Thaumaturgy consumes a lot of spirit energy, please use it with caution]
[Special description: Because the first two stages of your Elemental Thaumaturgy are upgraded Thaumaturgy that you were lucky enough to obtain the information of [Severance] from the third stage]
After reading through the third Thaumaturgy, Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
3 seconds …
3 seconds!!!
He hurriedly asked: "System, if the enemy is several times stronger than me, will this Thaumaturgy still work?"
[The System is very tired, please read the description yourself]
"I choose [Severance]"
"Are you sure?"
