Gu Qing Shan's expression was serious like never before.
All of a sudden, the situation took a turn for the worse and became extremely dangerous.
The enemy knows everything, they're calculative and have a high cultivation.
What do I do now?
Gu Qing Shan silently thought for a bit.
After a while, he took out two jade tags.
These were the formation manuals that he picked out.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan had given the System 200 Soul Points, so he had 803 Soul Points left.
Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan used up all of his Soul Points and learned all the jade tags he had.
A warm flow flowed from the jade tags into Gu Qing Shan's body, all the way to his Thought Sea.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes as countless formation manuals flashed through his mind.
His understanding of the Dao of Formations gradually deepened.
— — -the cultivation civilization of the Suspended world was most famous for their formations.
To be able to reach this level, he was already an existence that wasn't any weaker than Gongsun Zhi in the cultivation world.
Formations were the highest achievement of this world's cultivators.
Even Shen Wu world and the cultivation world combined couldn't compare to this world's formations.
However, Shen Wu world's Smithing was unparalleled, while the cultivation world's resources were abundant, both worlds had their own unique characteristics.
A few moments later.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.
At this moment, he had just reached the level of a first-rate formation user in this world.
Although his level was only about the same as Qi Yan and couldn't decipher the world coordinates on the formation plate, he could easily control the majority of this world's formations.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
There's no turning back now, he can't delay any longer.
There are some things that he needs to understand clearly.
He asked: "Qing Rou, Wan Er, I haven't been in this world for long, so there are some things that you need to tell me honestly, this is related to whether or not we can survive"
Seeing how serious he was, Qing Rou and Wan Er also became serious.
Qing Rou whispered: "Whatever you want to ask, I'll tell you without holding anything back"
Wan Er also spoke: "You saved us, I've been wondering how to repay you, so I'll answer whatever you ask"
"Did any of the big sects that left return?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The two girls were surprised.
This was something they hadn't thought about before.
After thinking about it, Wan 'er said, "I don't think so."
"Really? Think about it carefully, "Gu Qing Shan said.
Qing Rou confirmed: "I'm very sure, no sect has returned to this world"
Shannu couldn't help but say: "It took so much effort to escape from this world, any normal sect wouldn't want to return"
"According to common sense, they should be wandering around, looking for a new world" Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He continued to ask: "Since no sects have returned, what about the cultivators? Did any cultivators come back? "
"Cultivator …?"
The two women muttered to themselves and fell into deep thought.
Gu Qing Shan's question puzzled them.
Gu Qing Shan then reminded, "It doesn't matter if any cultivator has the lowest or the highest realm, as long as they show themselves again, it will count as them returning."
"It seems like no cultivators have returned. Big sister, what do you think?"
Saying so, Wan Er looked at Qing Rou with uncertainty.
"Ever since Wan Er and I were taken to this world, I've never seen a cultivator from a sect return" Qing Rou nodded to Gu Qing Shan, expressing that she was very sure of this.
"Wait a minute, I just remembered something" Wan Er suddenly said.
The three of them looked at her.
"There was once a Cryptic realm cultivator who said he was worried so he took his entire sect and flew away"
"He tried it himself. He broke through the void and left by himself. He wanted to explore the way."
"And then?" Gu Qing Shan immediately asked.
"And then he never returned. Without him, his sect was no longer able to fight against the other sects and was quickly destroyed" Wan Er explained.
"Later on, there was a theory that after the realm demon descended, there must have been a problem with space-time"
"Once a cultivator leaves this world, they'll be sent to an especially faraway place, never to return again"
Qing Rou replied: "That's right, this theory was very popular for a while, almost universally accepted"
"No, that can't be right" Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice.
"What can't be right?" Qing Rou asked.
"If that's really the case, then why was Qi Yan able to travel back and forth freely after obtaining Shen Wu world's coordinates?"
The two girls were stunned.
That's right, why was Qi Yan able to do that?
It's been a very long time since this world has explored a new world.
Everyone had already forgotten about the fixed way of traveling between two worlds.
Gu Qing Shan slowly explained: "The coordinates of this world should have been determined long ago when the cultivators conquered countless worlds"
"They also used that to create a large-scale Tribulation formation in the space vortex"
"If they know the coordinates of another world, the cultivators only need to create a world warp formation to teleport there"
"If that's the case, after they left, they must have brought the coordinates of this world with them, so they can teleport back"
The two girls couldn't say anything.
That's right, they couldn't refute any of Gu Qing Shan's words.
But Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows slowly scrunched up.
A terrifying guess silently appeared in her mind.
Even someone as experienced as Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but feel anxious.
"I think, even if the majority of people aren't willing to return, there will always be a few cultivators who want to come back and take a look" he said.
"Gongzi, what do you mean?" Qing Rou followed his train of thought and asked.
Gu Qing Shan waved her hand to signal her not to say anything else.
He casually took out a high-grade formation plate.
In just a few breaths' worth of time, he had arranged a small-scale sound-proofing formation in the secret room.
This kind of formation wasn't difficult for him at all.
Sound wouldn't be able to pass through the formation.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, but still didn't say anything.
If that guess is correct …
Then it's best not to say anything.
He only used his inner sight to transmit his voice: "All the sects have left this world through the void"
"I think there's a problem here, and a very terrifying one at that"
He suddenly felt anxious.
He paced back and forth in the secret room, his steps becoming faster and faster.
The three girls silently stood on one side, watching him without interrupting his thoughts.
At a certain point.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly said: "No, we can't wait any longer, we have to leave right now!"
"Gongzi, you have a vow to heaven and earth! You have to kill Wang Hong Dao! "Wan Er said.
"Not to mention, without the world coordinates, where can we go?" Qing Rou asked.
Gu Qing Shan froze.
That terrifying event made him so anxious for the first time in his life that he forgot even the most basic of things.
It was very rare for Gu Qing Shan to be this confused.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "Cryptic realm … even if we fight together, we still won't be able to win"
Qing Rou took his hand and spoke with a resolute expression: "If this is the only way, I'm willing to fight by your side"
"Me too!" Wan Er loudly said.
Shannu didn't say anything and only nodded.
"… Right now, we need to gather our thoughts and come up with a solution" Gu Qing Shan said.
"But Wang Hong Dao is Cryptic realm, no matter what kind of plan we come up with, it's probably useless against him" Wan Er dejectedly said.
Gu Qing Shan pointed at her, then looked at Qing Rou: "The two of you are both Tribulation realm great cultivators, as well as former top-notch figures of your respective worlds. You need to think of a solution, since this is related to our lives"
"Shannu, after living for so many years, you're also a knowledgeable person, you should think about it as well"
Hearing him say that, the three girls had no choice but to use their minds to think of a solution.
"I suggest we use an airship to escape" Wan Er said.
"An airship won't do" Qing Rou rejected it right away, "from what we know, a Cryptic realm cultivator's movement speed is extremely fast, at least faster than an airship"
"An airship is fine — –" Wan Er still wanted to say something else.
Gu Qing Shan cut her off: "An airship really won't do, we need at least a cultivator at Wang Hong Dao's level to stay on the airship to make sure that the other Wang Hong Dao can't catch up"
"Then I can't think of anything" Wan Er lowered her head.
"Then …" Qing Rou contemplated.
Gu Qing Shan just looked at her and didn't say anything to stop her from thinking.
Qing Rou was a very smart female cultivator, so she might be able to come up with something that would make people's eyes light up.
"Wang Hong Dao is a calculative person, but from what I've seen so far, he's someone who values his own life a lot" she said.
"Go on" Gu Qing Shan said.
Qing Rou thought for a bit, then said: "We need to think of a way to lower the floating island a bit closer to the realm demon, that way Wang Hong Dao himself will be afraid and won't come to this island again"
Gu Qing Shan face-palmed and didn't say anything.
"That's right, he doesn't need to come to this island, he only needs to push it down a bit — –" Shannu muttered.
Qing Rou's face went red, as if embarrassed that she suggested such a bad idea.
"Shannu, what do you think?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"Gongzi, I've seriously thought about it" Shannu answered.
"And then? What's your plan? "
Shannu changed the topic and asked seriously: "Gongzi, what do you think a sword's responsibility is?"
"Cut?"
"Yes, so I won't do anything like using my head"
"… Fine"
Gu Qing Shan could only sigh.
Seems like I didn't get anything out of it.
Qing Rou suddenly asked: "Gongzi, do you have any ideas?"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then hesitantly said: "Hm — — I have a not-so-good idea, so I want to hear your opinions first to see if there's any that can replace my idea"
"What idea? Why don't you tell us? "Wan Er asked with interest.
Gu Qing Shan only said a single thing.
The three girls went silent.
After a while, Qing Rou calmed down and said: "Gongzi, your idea … can't be considered an idea"
