Following Gu Qing Shan's choice, the System let out a chime.
[Ting]!
[You've chosen the evolution direction of your Lightning Thaumaturgy, the second stage Thaumaturgy: Rigid is about to evolve]
[You've chosen the third stage Thaumaturgy: Severance]
Following this, the line of light on the War God UI disappeared.
And Gu Qing Shan's Thaumaturgy began to evolve.
[The user has obtained the evolved Smiting Thaumaturgy: Severance]
[Severance: After being struck by your Lightning spirit energy, the target's consciousness will be separated from their body, duration: 3 seconds]
Gu Qing Shan reached her hand out and lightly tapped Wan Er and Shannu's shoulders.
Shannu didn't react at all and only asked: "Is this Lightning?"
"Yes, it's a Lightning Thaumaturgy" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Wan'er stood rooted to the ground, motionless.
"Time's up" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
It was now that Wan Er regained her senses.
"What happened to me just now?" she asked in confusion.
Qing Rou noticed and smiled: "Gongzi might have grasped some sort of Thaumaturgy after evolving, he was just joking with you"
Wan Er immediately asked: "I was in a daze just now, I don't know anything — — how much time has passed?"
"Not too long, just one and a half breaths" Gu Qing Shan answered.
"One and a half breaths!" Wan Er's expression changed.
She was also a Tribulation realm cultivator, so she knew very well how terrifying one and a half breaths of time was for a sword cultivator.
Qing Rou praised: "Gongzi being able to comprehend such a powerful Thaumaturgy, our chances of survival are much higher now"
Feeling the increase in Lightning power inside her body, Gu Qing Shan was also half happy and half worried.
Happy because even though she didn't awaken a new Thaumaturgy, she was able to increase the time she could control an enemy to 3 seconds. Gu Qing Shan felt that [Severance] wouldn't be any weaker than any other Thaumaturgy.
For a sword cultivator, 3 seconds was a very long time.
Gu Qing Shan could even easily perform 7 strikes in 3 seconds to complete [Seven Stars Flowing Dragon].
From now on, [Severance] will replace [Stiffen] as an important trump card, and it will shine brightly in future battles.
What worried him was that this move consumed too much spiritual power.
Using [Severance] on two people in a row, Gu Qing Shan's Reiki has been reduced by 30%.
He was now a Sainted realm cultivator!
This Divine Power really consumed too much spiritual power, and it was not suitable for a prolonged battle.
Once he used this ability, it was best to end the battle quickly.
Gu Qing Shan calmed herself down and went through her skills again.
Apart from swordsmanship, there were only four main skills.
"Severance", "Shrink", "Shadow Shift", "Mystery of All Beings Equal".
— — From now on, the Dao of Formations would be added to the list.
Gu Qing Shan told the three women: "Let's continue working."
The three women responded and went to choose their own jade slips.
Gu Qing Shan walked up to the row of formation jade slips and stopped.
Casually flipping through it, he found that the array jade slips ranged from simple to profound, with everything one could expect.
Gu Qing Shan chose the simplest formation jade slip and quickly began to comprehend it.
[The current jade slip contains the basics of formations, as well as the 9 basic formations, to fully comprehend it requires 200 Soul Points, would you like to comprehend it?]
[Yes]
A warm flow flowed into Gu Qing Shan's body through the jade slip and gathered in his Thought Sea.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes for a bit, silently comprehending the basics of formations.
A few moments later, he opened his eyes.
Putting down this jade slip, he picked up another jade slip.
[The current jade slip contains the basics of formations, as well as the 5 basic formations, to fully comprehend it requires 300 Soul Points, would you like to comprehend it?]
[Yes]
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes again, focusing all his attention on comprehending the mysteries of formations.
Using Soul Points to learn formations is indeed very fast, but there's one thing that's not good about it.
— — -the cost is too high.
Just the most basic formation alone cost Gu Qing Shan 500 Soul Points.
This can't be helped.
Formations are one of the two hardest to learn among the 6 arts of cultivation.
Otherwise, the Formation Grandmaster Gongsun Zhi wouldn't have been given the title of Ding Yuan General back in the cultivation world.
Even in this world, being a formation master is one of the most popular professions.
Gu Qing Shan checked the amount of Soul Points he had left.
"I still need to use the remaining Soul Points.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and took out another jade slip.
The content of formations recorded in this jade slip was too profound, not suitable for him to comprehend with his current understanding of formations.
He casually took out another jade slip and prepared to comprehend formations.
Suddenly, he remembered something and couldn't help but smack his head in annoyance.
Qing Rou and Wan Er are still waiting for me to release them.
If I can release them from the Spirit Shackles, I'll have two more Tribulation realm cultivators on my side.
If they can help me fight against Wang Hong Dao, they'll be a decent fighting force.
— — -at least they're stronger than me.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan stopped studying formations.
"Lockdown, I need to find the lockdown jade slip for the Spirit Shackles" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
At this point, Shannu came to find him.
"Gongzi, someone wants to see you" Shannu said.
"Someone? See me? "
Gu Qing Shan froze.
This is the secret room, where would someone else come from?
Shannu was holding a jade slip in front of Gu Qing Shan.
An illusory figure suddenly flew out from the jade slip and condensed into the figure of a cultivator.
This was a cultivator with a long beard, exuding an ancient aura of decay.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but frown.
This was a vengeful soul.
— — -and it was the vengeful soul of a powerful cultivator.
When a cultivator was strong enough in life, they were unwilling to die, so their soul remained in this world, looking for something to hold onto and didn't reincarnate.
For such a powerful soul to remain in the human realm for the sake of their obsession, it wasn't a good thing for both the world and the soul itself.
Bai Hua sect's mountain of resources was full of such things.
Qin Xiaolou hated these things the most.
Because as long as a vengeful soul knows how to take over someone's body, they can use a few unique items as a medium to take over someone's body.
As soon as someone touches those items, the vengeful soul will be able to enter their body and take over their body.
There were some people who were usually mediocre or useless, but one day, their talents would suddenly become top-notch, their cultivation would also slowly rise to the top and shock the world.
In truth, they were all being taken over.
"What happened?"
Gu Qing Shan asked Shannu in a low voice.
"There was a particularly powerful offensive formation, I was a bit curious so I went in to take a look and found this jade tag" Shannu answered.
Shannu had the [Law Breaker] Thaumaturgy that could break all Laws in the world, so offensive formations were completely useless against her.
"You didn't let him come into contact with Qing Rou or Wan Er, did you?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I didn't, I was very careful" Shannu said as she held the jade tag.
That's good. Gu Qing Shan felt a bit relieved.
Although Qing Rou and Wan Er were powerful, they were still sealed, so it was still a bit difficult for them to take over someone's body.
But Shannu wasn't the same as the others.
Not to mention, she was a sword spirit, so no one would try to take over her body.
