Standing at the center of the lake, Gu Qing Shan was thinking carefully.
It's been a very long time since he was this cautious.
It's no wonder he's being so cautious. After all, he's already reached a miraculous realm — — Tribulation realm.
When he first came to Shen Wu world and met the Wild Raging Flame Armor, it had already explained to him about cultivation realms.
He still remembered the Wild Raging Flame Armor's original words.
"The highest realm you can reach is Sainted realm, above Sainted are the Projection realm, Tribulation realm, and Virtualized realm"
"Among them, Tribulation realm is the most unique, a cultivator has to face countless Tribulations at this stage, only when the Tribulation is over will they break through and become the True Virtualized realm"
Because of that, Tribulation realm cultivators don't have to face the Wind Lightning Tribulation, they have to face all sorts of other Tribulations.
After they've passed all the Tribulations, the cultivator will naturally reach Virtualized realm.
The Suspended world has a common view — — Tribulation realm cultivators are always facing their Tribulations.
At this point, they have the same understanding as Shen Wu world.
However, the Suspended world cultivators have a much deeper understanding.
They believe that this Tribulation is related to a cultivator's good deeds and karma.
Cultivators who have committed a lot of killing will be plagued by countless sins and Karma Tribulations at this realm.
There was once a demonic cultivator who went through 8,963 Tribulations at Tribulation realm.
Finally, he died during the final Tribulation before reaching Virtualized realm.
That Tribulation came from his disciple.
In the past, when he first entered the sect, he betrayed one of his junior brothers when they were attacking a world.
After the junior brother was pushed into a dangerous ruin, he was never heard from again.
But this demonic cultivator managed to get his junior brother's fiancée after much coaxing and pestering.
Many years had passed since then.
Who could've guessed that his junior brother would gain a blessing in disguise and obtain great fortune from the ruin, after cultivating for a few dozen years, he finally broke through.
When his junior brother returned, the demonic cultivator was just about to reach Virtualized realm.
His junior brother took advantage of the last moment of his breakthrough to kill him.
Because of that, many cultivators in the Suspended world aren't afraid of Virtualized realm's Tribulation, only the Tribulation realm's Karma Tribulations.
After all, cultivators of the Suspended world will always have to commit countless sins and face countless Karma Tribulations.
Tribulation realm …
From beginning to end … it was a tribulation …
Gu Qing Shan felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but rub the space between her eyebrows.
He tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a jade tag.
This was a secret scripture he found from Guang Yang sect in the Suspended world, the Great Elder Wang Hong Dao's Inventory Bag.
When Gu Qing Shan killed Wang Hong Dao with a single strike, Shannu quickly took his Inventory Bag.
As a Cryptic realm Grand Elder, Wang Hong Dao's Inventory Bag is full of good stuff.
Now, all these belonged to Gu Qing Shan.
As he lightly held the jade tag, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
"Item Name: Thousand Tribulations Karma Detection Secret Technique."
"Type: Cultivation Method."
[War God Skills: Those who practice this skill will be able to sense how many tribulations they will have to go through in the Tribulation realm]
[Attention: This is a Secret Art that the cultivators of the Suspended world researched specifically for Tribulation realm cultivators. Although it can help you roughly understand the number of tribulations you will have to go through, it cannot predict when the tribulations will occur]
[Description: To practice this Secret Art, you will need to spend 200 Soul Points]
[Doomsday Chronicles event description: None]
He still had over 80,000 Soul Points left, so Gu Qing Shan paid the 200 Soul Points right away.
Holding the jade tag in hand, he closed his eyes.
A warm flow flowed from the jade tag into his finger, followed his arm, and entered his Thought Sea.
Very quickly, Gu Qing Shan comprehended this Secret Art.
He formed a hand seal and infused it with spirit energy.
Immediately, heaven and earth resonated with him, displaying his past Merits and sins in his mind.
The corresponding number of tribulations began to manifest.
A total of …
Three times.
One at the early stage of Tribulation, one at the middle stage, and one at the late stage.
After that, he could advance to Virtualized realm.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes, a bit surprised.
Three times was the most basic number of tribulations, any cultivator at Tribulation realm would have to face at least three Tribulations.
— — -could it be that my sins are so few?
If that's the case, I've actually saved quite a few people …
Regardless, there are only three Tribulations, as long as I'm careful, I'll be able to get through them.
This is something to be happy about.
Gu Qing Shan's mood instantly improved.
Now that this matter has been dealt with, it's time to contact Shifu.
After this, everything will depend on the sect's situation.
Without hesitation, he tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a unique talisman.
This was the Universal Talisman that Shifu gave him before.
If the distance between them isn't too great, one person can put something into the Universal Talisman, and the other person can take it out.
Gu Qing Shan then took out Hundred Flowers Fairy's Communication Talisman, spoke a few words into it, and put it into the Universal Talisman.
Almost immediately, he sensed that the Communication Talisman had disappeared.
Hundred Flowers Fairy had taken his Communication Talisman away!
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
It's been a long time since I've seen Shifu.
At the time when he went to the Suspended world, he tried to activate the Universal Talisman, but probably because the distance was too far, the talisman couldn't be activated.
After returning to Shen Wu world, even though this world has become incredibly vast, the Universal Talisman can be used again.
A few moments later, a Communication Talisman appeared in the Universal Talisman.
Gu Qing Shan took it out and infused it with spirit energy.
With a sense of concern, Hundred Flowers Fairy's voice came from the talisman: "Qing Shan, someone has been impersonating you recently, although I've already dealt with them, you shouldn't run around right now to avoid causing more misunderstandings and trouble. Just wait for your two junior sisters to pick you up and bring you back"
Impersonating … me?
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
But he quickly realized.
Other than a sword cultivator, who else could possibly impersonate him?
Something like that shouldn't have happened in this world.
This was most likely done by someone from another cultivation world — — or perhaps even someone from the cultivation alliance.
Seems like the person who did this had already thoroughly investigated Qi Yan's invasion of Shen Wu world.
At the time, Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Great Monk of Sorrow acted together to fight against Qi Yan. In the end, Gu Qing Shan brought over ten million Tianma to send Qi Yan into the Tianma world.
Gu Qing Shan himself also had no choice but to go to the Suspended world.
This was something that all cultivators saw with their own eyes.
Gu Qing Shan scowled.
Obviously, the person who planned this knows what he, Gu Qing Shan, did.
They also know that the person called Gu Qing Shan has already disappeared from this world.
If there really was someone who could impersonate me, they would definitely be able to obtain a lot of information about this world.
But with Shifu here, how could they — — -
No!
In order to obtain the quota to fuse with the world, Shifu had already joined the cultivation alliance.
She must have gone out a lot to participate in the alliance's battles.
If she's no longer in this world, and someone deliberately tried to impersonate me, they might actually succeed!
After saving Shen Wu world, now returning from a faraway world.
The person who impersonated me would definitely receive everyone's gratitude.
Perhaps, the person who impersonated him had already thoroughly investigated the background of this world.
The reason why Shifu told me not to run around is probably because she's afraid that cultivators who are overly cautious would attack the real me.
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a bit, then couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Who would've thought that as soon as I went to the Suspended world to impersonate Qi Yan, someone would immediately come to Shen Wu world to impersonate me.
This was really an eye for an eye.
Fortunately, his Master had already learned of this matter and dealt with it.
However …
