A towering mountain hovered in the sky.
At the top of the mountain stood four Cryptic realm cultivators.
A woman wearing a white fox mask sat on the throne above them.
"Then, Qi Yan is dead?" Rakshasa's Daughter asked.
"Yes, Qi Yan was tricked and killed by Wang Hong Dao, Wang Hong Dao said so himself"
Ye Ying Mei knelt down on one knee and respectfully reported.
"You trust Wang Hong Dao that much? Don't you know what kind of person he is? "Rakshasa's Daughter's tone was a bit hostile.
"Saintess, I don't trust Wang Hong Dao at all" Ye Ying Mei respectfully replied.
"Then how did you confirm that Qi Yan is dead?" Rakshasa's Daughter questioned further.
"Because I secretly checked the large-sized security formation and confirmed that only Wang Hong Dao and I were left on the island"
"Then, I went to see Wang Hong Dao, and I got the same conclusion from him."
Hearing her say that, Rakshasa's Daughter nodded in satisfaction.
All I needed to do was open my mouth and give the order to kill that piece of trash without any effort.
I didn't even need my subordinates to do anything.
Wang Hong Dao killed Qi Yan and still shamelessly tried to curry favor with me.
Finally, I've vented my anger.
Seeing her expression soften, Ye Ying Mei's heart also calmed down and continued to report: "Peak master, Wang Hong Dao wants to join our sect, so he asked me to bring you a gift"
"A gift?" Rakshasa's Daughter repeated.
"Yes, a gift"
The corner of Rakshasa's Daughter's mouth curled up into a mocking smile.
All the cultivators here laughed.
A Cryptic realm cultivator laughed: "That Wang Hong Dao is a cunning man, he thinks he can still join us, but he's already going to become our puppet, why would he need to give us a gift"
Another Cryptic realm cultivator also said: "That's right, everything he has will soon belong to the peak master, giving him a gift now can only be considered giving it to the peak master ahead of time"
"Forget it, let's see what it is" Rakshasa's Daughter waved her hand dismissively and ordered.
"Yes"
Ye Ying Mei tapped her Inventory Bag and took out a large box, handing it over.
The box lightly landed in front of Rakshasa's Daughter.
This was a common type of storage box, able to prevent inner sight from spying and ensure the item's secrecy.
"Peak Lord, please send your subordinates to check the boxes, just in case it's a trap" a Cryptic realm cultivator said.
With a Cryptic realm cultivator personally inspecting the box, even if Wang Hong Dao himself was hiding inside, he wouldn't be able to assassinate him.
All other traps were nothing in front of Cryptic realm cultivators.
Rakshasa's Daughter thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
The Cryptic realm cultivator placed his hand on the box.
The sealing runes on the box immediately disappeared.
The sealing runes indicated that the chest had never been opened.
This was a verification rune to ensure that the receiver knew if the box had been opened during delivery.
The Cryptic realm cultivator formed a hand seal and slapped the box.
Immense spirit energy flowed into the box.
If it was a living creature like an assassin, the Cryptic realm cultivator would know immediately through the feedback of spirit energy.
— — if there were any traps or spells, they would have already been activated upon contact with such spirit energy.
However, the box was still lying there without any changes.
It seemed like there was no problem.
Everyone calmed down.
The Cryptic realm cultivator inspecting the box smiled: "Wang Hong Dao must be trying to rely on our sect for protection, even if he ate a bear's heart or a leopard's guts, he wouldn't dare to do anything to it, otherwise anyone from our sect would be able to kill him"
"I don't know what kind of trap Wang Hong Dao could have, not to mention there aren't any traps that would be able to deal with Cryptic realm cultivators like us" another Cryptic realm cultivator shook his head.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Be careful, this subordinate will open this box" the Cryptic realm cultivator inspecting the box said.
"Open it" Rakshasa's Daughter was bored to death.
He's pretty much collected all the good stuff in this world.
He wasn't really looking forward to seeing what Wang Hong Dao could give him.
The Cryptic realm cultivator opened the box.
Inside the box, a formation plate was floating in the air, lightly trembling.
There were several formations around the formation plate that were still in operation.
"A formation plate?" everyone exclaimed at once.
That's strange.
If it was an offensive formation plate, it would have been activated already.
But this formation plate was also activated, but it didn't unleash any offensive spells.
What kind of formation plate is this?
Thinking that, the cultivators all calmed down.
No matter what kind of formation it was, it wouldn't be able to kill a Cryptic realm cultivator — — not even a Virtualized realm cultivator.
"What is this — — -" Rakshasa's Daughter was about to ask.
But one of the formation masters shouted in shock.
"It's a small-scale space-breaking formation!"
The space-breaking formation was invented by that formation master many years ago, a method to escape from this world.
None of the cultivators who used the space-breaking formation to leave this world ever returned.
Before he even finished, the formation plate was fully activated.
A few moments later, the four Cryptic realm cultivators around the box as well as the confused Ye Ying Mei disappeared without a trace.
Rakshasa's Daughter's expression changed, she only had time to take out a single item before she also disappeared.
— — -this was a self-activating small-scale warp formation. It brought the most powerful cultivators away through space.
Ever since that formation master invented the space-breaking technique, this was most likely the most sudden and hurried space-breaking teleportation.
While rapidly traveling through space, Rakshasa's Daughter did everything she could to activate the item in her hand.
A blinding gleam of light flashed.
He escaped the range of the warp formation and warped towards another direction.
At the very last moment, he managed to react!
But from the direction he was heading towards, it seemed to be a very faraway place in the void of space. Returning to this world probably won't be an easy task.
At another location.
Guang Yang sect's floating island.
"Gongzi, with this, that Rakshasa candidate has lost the right to compete with you" Shannu smiled.
"This is only a bit of trouble for him, maybe he'll be able to return" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"It shouldn't be very likely for him to escape from the space-breaking formation, right?" Shannu wasn't sure.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head: "I've already killed him once with a formation, if he's defeated twice by the same method, then he's not worthy to be my opponent"
"Most importantly, even if we ignore strength, he should be an enemy that I have to take seriously"
Hearing that, Shannu didn't understand.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
I have the [Mystery of All Beings Equal], while the other party has the [Mystery of All Beings Equal].
At the very last moment of the world's destruction, these two mysteries will be very useful.
If Rakshasa's Daughter can return, she'll definitely use the [Mystery of All Beings Equal] to compete with me to see who can survive longer.
At this point, Shannu realized something.
"Gongzi, the other party seems to have the upper hand" she worriedly said.
"Why do you think that?"
"Because he only needs to turn into an inanimate object and doesn't need to care about how the world is destroyed. But gongzi, no matter what kind of living thing you turn into, you need to ensure that you survive first"
That's right.
Rakshasa's Daughter doesn't need to do much, she only needs to pretend to be a rock, find a place to lie down and wait for the world to be destroyed.
And no matter what method Gu Qing Shan uses, she has to face the world's destruction.
"That's not necessarily the case" Gu Qing Shan said.
He muttered to himself as he pondered.
"I've never seen what a world's destruction looks like, and there's also the realm demon as a huge variable — — I think he doesn't know what would happen in such a situation either"
Gu Qing Shan muttered, then waved his hand at Shannu.
"Let's go, we need to find something"
"Yes"
Gu Qing Shan turned into a streak of light, flying all over the floating island.
Shannu followed behind him.
Passing by a courtyard, Gu Qing Shan flicked his sleeve to catch a butterfly.
Passing by a stream, Gu Qing Shan crouched down to pick up a fish.
Jumping on top of a tree, he picked up a caterpillar that was resting on a leaf.
While climbing up a cliff, he shaved off all the hair of a Flametail Monkey and carefully put it away.
While flying in the sky, Gu Qing Shan picked up a feather from a bird.
Gu Qing Shan took Shannu to every corner of the floating island.
This world was lacking in resources, so cultivators placed a lot of importance on raising and breeding spirit animals and birds.
They were the source of food, the most basic form of survival, so nothing can go wrong.
Time quickly passed.
Gu Qing Shan collected at least a few hundred hairs from different animals, as well as a few living ones.
He even opened Wang Hong Dao's jade pendant — — which was also the common Inventory Bag of this world, and took out an entire leg of a spirit deer.
The fact that this Six-eared Flower Deer's leg was kept by Wang Hong Dao meant that it had been meticulously cooked and was a top-notch delicacy of this world.
Finally, Gu Qing Shan came to the bottom of the floating island and replenished the spirit stones for each formation.
Shannu silently followed him until this point.
As Gu Qing Shan carefully replenished the spirit stones for each formation, Shannu finally couldn't help but ask.
"Gongzi, you've already collected most of the hundreds of living creatures on this island — — but you don't need that many, do you?" Shannu asked.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything for now.
He randomly took a handful of hair and observed it.
This was the fur of a Flametail Monkey.
Following Gu Qing Shan's thought, a few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[Discovered Flametail Monkey's fur]
[Please use this fur to analyze the mysteries of the Flametail Monkey's body]
[To transform into a Flametail Monkey, 270 Soul Points must be used, please pay]
Reading through these notifications, Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
Just as I thought.
Before he went to the dark tunnel of Huang Quan, he turned into a Sharp-boned Demon.
Because he turned into a demon, he was able to quickly pass through the dark tunnel.
Turning from a human to a high-leveled demon is definitely an unusual process.
At the time, he spent a total of 1000 Soul Points.
But the Flametail Monkey is only a normal demon monkey, so it wouldn't be that complicated or difficult.
Sure enough, the amount of Soul Points required to transform into All Beings Equal is determined by the difficulty of the transformation.
If I want to transform into a Demon Lord or Demi, not to mention how to obtain their body parts, the amount of Soul Points alone would be an astronomical amount.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit.
— — -but I wonder if Rakshasa's Daughter also needs Soul Points to use All Beings Equal to transform herself into a certain substance.
The Apocalypse is right before us.
Will my All Beings Equal last longer, or Rakshasa's Daughter's All Beings Equal be more suitable for survival?
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
He was comparing the pros and cons of the two mysteries.
After all, he's about to find out.
After a while, Gu Qing Shan put away the fur and answered Shannu's question.
"I'm collecting a few samples of different species to ensure that I can deal with the drastic changes that will occur when the world collapses"
"Deal with the drastic changes?" Shannu was confused.
"That's right, Shannu" Gu Qing Shan smiled, "do you know what kind of species will be able to survive until the very end when the environment changes irresistibly?"
"The strongest species?" Shannu thought for a bit and answered.
"No"
"The … smartest species?"
"Not really."
"Gongzi, then what do you think it is?"
