Gu Qing Shan flew back to Bai Hua Palace.
At this point, Bai Hua Palace had returned to silence.
Everyone else had returned to rest, leaving only Hundred Flowers Fairy sitting on her throne.
Hundred Flowers Fairy leaned back on her throne, resting her chin on her hand and mused: "Even if you tell him everything you know, I'm afraid it won't be of any use"
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "Senior brother is just too used to playing around, I'm sure that if he gets serious, he'll be able to comprehend it"
In the sky above, dark clouds were slowly gathering.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier.
The night rain was turning into a downpour.
A few moments later.
Oom — —
Thunder Flash!
"The Heaven's Tribulation is here, I didn't think it would come so soon" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Hundred Flowers Fairy appeared glad and said: "I can only hope that he'll cultivate seriously for a while longer"
She released her inner sight to observe Qin Xiaolou. Only to see Qin Xiaolou sitting on top of the kite with his eyes closed, completely unaffected by the rain and wind, giving off an unprecedented sense of seriousness.
"Xiao Lou's Tribulation will probably be over for a while, Qing Shan, tell me what happened to you"
"How did Shifu know I had something to do?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
"I can tell" she stared closely at him, "ever since I came back to see you, I've noticed that you've been in a bad mood"
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a bit, then smiled bitterly: "I really can't escape Shifu's eyes"
He tapped his Inventory Bag, took out a long jade box, and opened it.
The Earth sword that was covered in cracks silently sat inside.
Gu Qing Shan raised the Earth sword and showed it to her.
"The Earth sword? How did it get so damaged? "she muttered.
She flew down from her throne, landed in front of Gu Qing Shan, and carefully observed the sword.
"It's already on the verge of shattering — — that's almost impossible, what exactly did you encounter?" Hundred Flowers Fairy asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "We ran into a monster that we've never seen before. At the time, in the lost world of the Old Gods, that monster almost took my life. The Earth sword had to use all of my Soul Points before we managed to kill it"
There were many things that Gu Qing Shan wouldn't hide from Xie Dao Ling.
However, he never mentioned the giant corpse and the monster in detail.
Even when he talked about the [Order] before, Gu Qing Shan only vaguely talked about it and didn't explain the [God Order]'s origin.
That was because there were some secrets that could be detected by some mysterious existences as long as they were spoken of, and the sound of their voices could exist in time and space.
That monster was too strange, so Gu Qing Shan didn't plan to tell anyone about it.
It wasn't that he didn't trust her, but it was a form of caution and protection for the people around him.
Not only did he protect the giant corpse, but he also protected the people of Bai Hua sect — — - because they didn't know about the secret, they wouldn't be in any danger.
Xie Dao Ling reached her hand out and lightly stroked the sword: "It's about to die"
"That's impossible!" Gu Qing Shan shouted in a low voice.
"It's true, the entire sword's spine is greyish white, the sword spirit has fallen into an unconscious state, it won't be able to hold on for much longer"
Xie Dao Ling sighed: "It was already wounded, but it had already done everything it could to protect you before"
"Can Shifu fix it?"
"It's already in this state, I can't fix it, and probably no one in the entire cultivation world can fix it" Xie Dao Ling shook her head.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit stunned.
The Earth sword was the sect's sword, something Shifu personally granted to him.
Gu Qing Shan had thought that Shifu would have a way to fix it if she brought the Earth sword back.
But now, it seems that was nothing more than wishful thinking.
In truth, I understand that a sword that's broken to this state would be extremely hard to fix.
I just don't want to admit it.
Gu Qing Shan slowly lowered her head.
The Earth sword had accompanied him for most of his life on the path of cultivation.
Am I supposed to just let it shatter like this?
— — -there were too many times when I didn't have the Earth sword by my side, my situation would've been countless times more dangerous.
For example, when I killed Zhao Wu Chui, if the Earth sword's power hadn't exceeded his expectations, he wouldn't have been killed in a single strike.
Or when I killed that monster, if the Earth sword hadn't used all of its power, I would've died already.
The hall fell silent.
The sound of thunder resounded throughout the world, but Gu Qing Shan just stood there in a daze, completely unaware of it.
The Earth sword.
There's no way to save it.
Gu Qing Shan felt dejected.
After a while, he took a deep breath.
"Shifu"
He bowed to Hundred Flowers Fairy: "I have to go"
"Go? You've only just returned? "Hundred Flowers Fairy was surprised.
"That's right, seeing that Shifu is fine, Xiao Lou has also improved, Xiu Xiu is growing, Qing Rou and Wan Er have both settled down, I don't have anything else to worry about"
"Where do you want to go?"
"To the infinite worlds, to find a way to repair the Earth sword"
"The Earth sword isn't a normal sword, it's not something that can be repaired by just anyone. Before you can find the person who can repair it, it'll already be dead"
"This is my sword, it saved me before, so I have to save it now"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan once again clasped his fist and bowed.
"Shifu, please allow me to leave now"
She looked at him and asked again: "Where are you going to find a way?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'm going to return to the Justice Iron Fist Club first, then use the Super Dimensional passage to find Bali's friends and see if they have a way"
She fell into thought.
The sound of thunder continued to resound. The lightning illuminated the entire hall.
Through the flickering light of the lightning, Gu Qing Shan could clearly see the hesitation and conflict on her face.
Shifu has always been a decisive person, and her decisions are always quick, so why is she showing such an expression today?
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
At this point, Xie Dao Ling's gaze once again fell onto Gu Qing Shan.
She silently stared at Gu Qing Shan and softly asked: "Qing Shan, while you've been traveling the infinite worlds, have you ever learned anything from others? Or joined another sect? "
Without waiting for Gu Qing Shan to answer, she continued: "I don't mind you learning from others, a strong cultivator naturally needs to learn more things, I just want to know if you've officially joined another cultivation sect"
"I haven't" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Xie Dao Ling silently nodded.
She seemed to have thought through something and sighed: "Truthfully — — your method is useless, those Lord-class Combatants might be powerful, but the Earth sword isn't something they can repair"
She waved her hand to arrange several dozen formations, then used layers upon layers of secret techniques to seal off the entire Bai Hua palace.
"Right now, we can only communicate through inner sight, we can't say anything out loud"
Xie Dao Ling tried asking again: "What can this sword slash, Qing Shan, do you know?"
Seeing how cautious Shifu was, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but carefully recall.
During the Frozen Tribulation, the Earth sword had killed a Huang Quan Hellspawn.
Huang Quan Hellspawn were actually low-level Demis who managed Huang Quan.
Gu Qing Shan sent her voice through inner sight: "The Earth sword … seems to be able to kill Demis"
Xie Dao Ling looked at him and said nothing.
Gu Qing Shan paused, then suddenly realized something.
"Right, the 900 million World Layers was created by the Old Gods, but this sword is able to kill Demis, that's strange"
"No one would purposely create a weapon to kill their descendants"
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
It was now that Xie Dao Ling sent her voice: "This sword was once a worshipped sword of my sect, brought back from the Primordial Heaven Realm by our founding ancestor"
"To repair this sword, you must go to the Primordial Heaven Realm and find the other half of its Origin"
Gu Qing Shan looked at Shifu, unable to digest what she just said.
My sect?
The Primordial Heaven Realm?
The other half of its Origin?
There was too much information in just a few sentences.
But without waiting for him to ask, Xie Dao Ling continued.
"Everyone believes that the Heaven Realm was broken and disappeared without a trace"
"But in this world, I, the last disciple of Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace, know that this isn't the case"
"Because of that, if you want to repair the Earth sword, you must enter the Primordial Heaven Realm and find the Earth sword's twin swords"
"That sword is called Heaven, the Heaven sword"
"The twin swords Heaven and Earth, specifically made to slay Old Gods"
"Qing Shan, I originally didn't want to tell you this, but I know that for a sword cultivator, the sword is everything. Rather than having you randomly search for it in the outside world, only to fail and the Earth sword fall and disappear, it's better for me to tell you the truth"
"Your mind and wisdom are more than enough, unfortunately, you are not suited to go to the Primordial Heaven Realm"
"Shifu, have you been to that place before?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I have. In truth, every sect master of Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace is given a chance to enter the Primordial Heaven Realm — — - otherwise, how do you think I was able to learn so many Samsara Divine Skills?"
Xie Dao Ling revealed a bitter smile and continued: "In the past, when I was still a disciple of Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace, I read that the founding ancestor of our sect once discussed Dao with the Divinities, so I thought the sect was just bragging"
