Tian Shan Ye gave her two jade tags.
One was his lifetime's worth of Sword and Blade knowledge.
The other was a random jade tag that he picked up, which recorded his understanding of the realm demon.
Of the two jade tags, the one with Sword and Blade knowledge fell to the ground.
Gu Qing Shan caught it.
This jade tag was very clear, probably having been kept for who knows how many years.
At first, the jade tag was only a normal milky white color. Only certain jade tags' contents were so treasured by cultivators that they kept them close to their bodies and played with them from time to time.
During this process, the cultivator's spirit energy would unknowingly seep into the jade tag. Over the years, the quality of the jade tag would become better and better.
This was a very common occurrence in the cultivation world.
Because of that, once a jade tag of good quality was taken out, everyone would be curious about what was inside.
Gu Qing Shan held the jade tag in her hand.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[This is a cultivation scripture written by the two of them, divided into Blade and Sword parts]
This line of glowing text appeared very quickly and even blinked.
It seemed to be reminding Gu Qing Shan to read it.
Skimming through it, Gu Qing Shan silently thought to herself. Just as I thought.
Perhaps before reaching Ascended realm, a cultivator who liked to use weapons could choose many weapons at the same time.
But when facing the Ascended realm Lightning Tribulation, a cultivator must choose a single weapon as their main path.
For this reason, Gu Qing Shan gave up on Lightning spells and archery to focus on swordsmanship.
Swordsmanship was the Dao with the strongest exclusivity.
Once a cultivator chooses swordsmanship, they must give up all other weapons.
The last time Gu Qing Shan returned to Reality, after helping Ye Fei Li cause a ruckus at the Congress election, she went to the Masala Desert to face her Tribulation.
At the time, Gu Qing Shan had already made her choice and chose swordsmanship.
In the cultivation world, it's common to hear of people being able to use two weapons at the same time, but that's only because they didn't choose swordsmanship.
A true sword cultivator would know that it's impossible for someone to use two weapons at the same time on the path of swordsmanship.
But Tian Shan Ye's genuine sword qi proved that he was a sword cultivator.
In that case, how could he practice saber arts?
In fact, Gu Qing Shan wasn't the only one who didn't understand. The cultivators of this world from a thousand years ago were also confused.
The records from a thousand years ago were actually very detailed.
Including Tian Shan Ye's every battle, every single move he made, every single move he used to decide the outcome of the battle.
At the time, many people didn't understand Tian Shan Ye's Sword and Blade Dual Mastery.
But for so many years, no one had been able to find out his secret.
Tian Shan Ye was the strongest cultivator.
As long as Tian Shan Ye didn't want to talk, no one would be able to pry his mouth open.
Gu Qing Shan murmured softly, "Two people … Fortunately, I've seen such things before. Otherwise, I would've been easily fooled."
Gu Qing Shan looked at the other jade tag in the air.
What Tian Shan Ye said about the realm demon was recorded in this jade tag.
Compared to the sword and blade manual in Gu Qing Shan's hand, this one that recorded the realm demon's secrets made people feel more relaxed and curious.
Qing Rou reached out to take it.
Gu Qing Shan caught her hand.
"Gongzi?" Qing Rou hesitantly asked.
Shannu's figure suddenly flashed and disappeared.
A second later, she reappeared in the air.
This was a simple teleportation, but she used the Divine Skill: [Ground Shrink]!
Shannu moved as fast as lightning and put the jade tag into her Inventory Bag.
This happened in the blink of an eye.
Before the two girls could react, the second jade tag had already been put into her Inventory Bag.
That jade tag also didn't react in time.
Shannu floated down.
"Well done" Gu Qing Shan happily praised.
Seeing the two girls' confused expressions, Shannu casually explained: "It was gongzi who sent his voice to me, telling me to put everything I have into this jade tag"
The two girls froze, their minds a bit confused.
This seems to be a precaution against me, to prevent me from reading the jade tag.
Gu Qing Shan doesn't trust me?
They both had the same thought.
Wan Er looked at Gu Qing Shan and carefully asked: "You don't trust big sis Qing Rou? She wouldn't tell this secret to anyone other than you "
Qing Rou pursed her lips, seemingly a bit dejected.
Our lives are tied to this person, and I've tried my best to help him, but he doesn't trust me at all.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit of a headache.
He could only say: "This is too troublesome, and I don't want to accidentally hurt you"
Qing Rou was smart to begin with, so hearing that, she carefully thought about it and said: "Gongzi said before, between sword cultivators, there is only the sword"
She muttered: "Once the sword is drawn, life and death are decided"
"Which means, gongzi is receiving the sword"
"Qing Rou, you're so smart" Gu Qing Shan praised.
"Heart Sword?" Qing Rou looked at him and asked.
"It's the Heart Sword"
Gu Qing Shan explained: "Sword and Blade dual master, what a great title, this kind of scripture jade tag is enough to make many people greedy"
"The second jade tag recorded the information that I couldn't wait to find out"
"There shouldn't be any traps in the first jade tag, and it's the best scripture in the world. After checking and confirming that there aren't any traps, I would more or less relax a bit, this is normal human nature"
"At that time, I would go and take the second jade tag — — because I want to know more about this, I would probably use my inner sight to check the realm demon's secrets without hesitation"
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
"After 1000 years, he has already improved a lot and learned how to use the heart as a sword"
"But I won't give him that chance"
Qing Rou understood again, but she quickly had a new suspicion.
"Why do you think that the Sword and Blade scripture jade tag doesn't have any traps?"
"Because it definitely doesn't have any, otherwise I would be suspicious on the spot and Ye Qiancheng wouldn't be able to carry out any of his future plans"
"Why did you make Shannu take the second jade tag so quickly?"
"Because Tian Shan Ye must have hidden a lot of things in this jade tag, but if I take it into my Inventory Bag, it would be the same as entering another space. That way, he wouldn't be able to do anything to me — — - unless he has a way to escape from Shannu's Inventory Bag"
As the two girls looked back, they saw Shannu putting her hand on the opening of the Inventory Bag.
"No matter what method he uses, he won't be able to escape from my hands" Shannu casually said.
Wan Er also regained her senses and looked at Gu Qing Shan: "Which means, you never trusted him"
Qing Rou also asked: "Just now, when you said that he wouldn't use any tricks, did you also say that in front of the jade tag?"
"Of course, I can't make him suspicious at the last moment"
"When did you notice that there was something wrong with him?" Qing Rou's eyes lit up as she asked.
"That's because he was placed in an extremely powerful offensive spell formation."
Gu Qing Shan looked at Shannu.
Shannu nodded: "Other than me, none of you would've been able to come out"
"With Wang Hong Dao's personality, it's normal for him to do such a thing, so Tian Shan Ye definitely wouldn't have the chance to come out and meet anyone"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Even though I told him that I was the Hallmaster of Zwei Wei Hall, he never asked about my Shifu or my background"
"That's a bit strange" Qing Rou nodded.
"He first talked about how Wang Hong Dao killed his Shifu, then deduced that I wasn't Wang Hong Dao's disciple, why is that?" Gu Qing Shan asked in return.
"Could it be … to give himself an excuse to teach you his sword and blade techniques?" Wan Er asked.
"That's exactly the case, as soon as I became greedy and wanted to learn his sword and blade techniques, I would have to say that I wasn't Wang Hong Dao's disciple"
"And so, he was sure that I took the bait"
Wan Er shook her head: "His deduction was quite accurate, you really weren't Wang Hong Dao's disciple"
"How did he deduce that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Wan Er recalled: "He said that Wang Hong Dao doesn't know swordsmanship, only the Blade and Sly Corpse, so Wang Hong Dao wouldn't have a disciple who specializes in swordsmanship like you"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Zhao Wu Chui is a Virtualized realm Martial cultivator, so he wasn't Wang Hong Dao's disciple?"
Wan Er was speechless.
Qing Rou sighed: "Using the truth to make a lie, as long as a cultivator becomes greedy for a top-tier scripture, no matter what their original identity was, they would admit his deduction on the spot, how impressive"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "After that, he used every cultivator's fear of the realm demon to create a second jade tag — — just like how Guang Yang sect once used an entire world to investigate the realm demon's weakness, this is nothing more than a cultivator's desire to live"
"The first jade tag used greed to lure me in, the second one used the desire to live, then he gave me an especially high requirement to learn the scripture, making me think that I was the one begging him to give me the scripture jade tag instead of him giving it to me for free"
"Even if I didn't vow to kill Wang Hong Dao, he would still have other requests waiting for me — — as long as I wanted to learn his scripture, he would give me a condition that was just right for me, but definitely not too easy"
Wan Er held her head and muttered: "How could this person calculate to such a degree, how terrifying"
"Even so, he still couldn't beat Wang Hong Dao" Qing Rou commented.
The two girls exchanged glances and saw the deep fear in each other's eyes.
They were both great cultivators with a lot of knowledge, but they've never seen such a psychological battle before.
If it was them, they would've already fallen for it.
And there's an even more powerful Wang Hong Dao waiting for them.
What should I do now?
"Despair can drive a person mad" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
He looked down at the jade tag in his hand.
The jade tag contained the world-renowned Sword and Blade dual-mastery secret.
But in this Suspended world, this place that can drive a person mad with despair, the human heart is so treacherous that it's chilling to even think about it.
Would he be able to practice the techniques here without worry?
Of course not.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, another line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
