Gu Qing Shan sat on the cushion, focusing all his efforts on stabilizing his cultivation.
After passing a karmic adversity, one's cultivation would increase accordingly. This was truly a miraculous period of a cultivator's life.
His spirit energy surged like a tidal wave, surging from every part of his body. Gu Qing Shan had to come up with a way to stabilize and calm this huge surge of spirit energy, otherwise the excessive spirit energy would damage his meridians.
He focused all of his efforts on guiding the spirit energy inside his body into his Dantian, forming a spirit energy vortex that gradually slowed down.
This was a meticulous process that would greatly reduce the damage that the rampaging spirit energy would cause to the body.
One day and one night passed.
Gu Qing Shan finally opened his eyes.
He was now a Tribulation realm late stage cultivator.
This time, because he didn't only train his swordsmanship, but also martial arts, archery, Blade skills, and so on, his body became stronger in every aspect.
This was an unexpected surprise.
Gu Qing Shan's attention was drawn by a flash of light in front of him.
A notification was flashing below the War God UI.
It was [War God Title].
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised and couldn't help but click on it.
Lines of glowing text began to appear on the [War God Title] tab.
[You've reached the minimum cultivation requirement to activate a new title]
[As you've become the Shen Wei General of the cultivation world, and your cultivation has reached Tribulation realm late stage, your title: You Ji General has been overwritten]
[You may now use your new title: Shen Wei General]
[Title: Shen Wei General (Note: You Ji General and Xiao Qi Chaplain titles have both been overwritten]
[Description: This is the number one general rank within the human allied army]
[Equipping this title grants you the Unique Skill: Quick Attack (Advanced)]
[Quick Attack (Advanced): The user's attack speed is increased by 20%]
Gu Qing Shan looked at the new title in surprise, then slowly smiled.
The You Ji General title grants him a 15% increase in attack speed, while the Shen Wei General title directly grants 20%.
That's 20%!
His swordsmanship has always relied on speed to win, now that he has a 20% increase in attack speed, for a sword cultivator, this is like adding wings to a tiger.
— — no, it's not just swordsmanship.
Martial arts, Blade skills, and archery will all be increased.
That was terrifying.
Gu Qing Shan changed the title to [Shen Wei General], took out the Chao Yin sword and began to use the sword seal.
He brandished his sword.
A cold light flashed.
"Eh?"
Gu Qing Shan raised her eyebrows in surprise.
He found that his speed had obviously increased, so much so that he was unable to control his sword momentum.
This speed … was a little too much.
Gu Qing Shan thought about it carefully and finally nodded.
As a sword cultivator, not being able to control his own blade was a very dangerous thing.
Gu Qing Shan immediately corrected her attitude.
He stood up and began to slowly swing his sword.
Starting from the most basic Sword Techniques, followed by a series of Sword Techniques, then Secret Arts, and finally Sword Arrays.
From the beginning to the end, Gu Qing Shan adapted to the change in speed bit by bit.
After practicing for a full four hours, he gradually grasped the speed of his sword that was enhanced by the title of "Shen Wei General".
Putting the Chao Yin sword away, he once again sat down on the cushion to rest.
It was only now that he had the time to carefully think about this karmic adversity.
But the more he thought about it, the more Gu Qing Shan couldn't understand it.
Strange …
How could a karmic adversity be passed so easily?
During the entire process, I was only hit once by those people.
That attack was blocked by the armor and didn't cause any damage at all.
— — -could this be a karmic adversity?
Or could it be that he had encountered something extremely dangerous, but he was completely unaware of it?
He thought about it for a bit, replaying everything that happened in his mind.
After eliminating all the possibilities, Gu Qing Shan was getting closer and closer to the answer.
"Seems like there's something wrong with that tree …"
He muttered to himself.
When he saw that tree, he also released his inner sight to check under the desert.
Unfortunately, his inner sight couldn't find anything.
If my karmic adversity really came from that tree, then it must be far more powerful than he could imagine.
Otherwise, a cultivator's inner sight wouldn't be fooled.
So …
What's going on?
Recalling the little black scorpion he saw after he finished his meditation, Gu Qing Shan seemed to understand a bit.
After thinking for a bit, he remembered something.
Putting his hand on his Inventory Bag, Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to check inside.
The branch that the tree gave him was still perfectly fine inside the Inventory Bag.
It was a black, sharp branch.
At the time, I was a bit cautious and only used a hand seal to put the branch into my Inventory Bag.
But now — — -
Because of his suspicions, he was even more afraid to touch the branch.
Gu Qing Shan moved his hand away from the Inventory Bag and silently sighed.
He quickly made up his mind.
— — -although I don't know why the other party let me go, I got lucky this time.
I need to be more careful from now on, I can't be so reckless anymore.
As for the branch, it's the one that decided the truth of this matter.
According to Wang Cheng's memories, there are a few organizations in the black market that specialize in appraising treasures.
I'll just need to take the branch and appraise it to confirm the answer.
It's time to go.
Gu Qing Shan put the cushion away, took out a pill and put it in his mouth.
His figure moved, and he flew into the sky, rushing high up into the blue sky.
The higher he went, the smaller the sandstorm.
Finally, Gu Qing Shan arrived at a place where there was almost no sandstorm.
Normally, the wind would be stronger at higher altitudes. But this world was very strange, the higher you went, the smaller the wind.
Gu Qing Shan looked afar.
Only to see that the entire world was covered in sandstorm, all the way to the horizon.
There was no place where the sandstorm couldn't be seen.
Occasionally, there were places that managed to avoid the sandstorm, but they were quickly covered by the sandstorm again.
This was caused by some gigantic creature moving around in the sand.
Gu Qing Shan found the right direction and turned into a streak of light that flew across the sky.
…
Five days later.
Gu Qing Shan finally reached his destination.
He appeared outside of a small town, looking travel-worn.
This small town in front of him was the entrance to the black market, specifically responsible for the black market's approval and approval process.
Famous organizations and organizations within the 900 million World Layers, as well as highly developed civilizations, were allowed to directly enter the black market.
But anyone else who wanted to enter would have to go through the approval process in this town.
Gu Qing Shan only hesitated for a single second before deciding not to reveal his identity as a member of the Justice Iron Fist Club.
Bali and Meow were currently in his world, but because the world was currently changing, they couldn't come out yet.
The other Lord-class Combatants were all heavily wounded during the war, so they were protected by the Divine Frost Crystals and scattered throughout the Strife Zones.
Revealing my identity at a time like this was unwise.
He sighed and arrived at the entrance of the town.
There was already a long line of people waiting to enter the town.
The entire line was orderly, quiet, and efficient.
Everyone was polite and polite, giving each other face.
— — -but that wasn't because everyone had a good temper.
Rather, on both sides of the road leading into the town, countless human heads were piled up to form two thick and tall walls.
The walls of human heads stretched from the faraway desert all the way to the entrance of the town.
These tens of thousands of human heads all came from those who didn't follow the rules of the black market.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the people naturally learned the rules of this place at the fastest speed possible.
— — -to enter the black market, you must follow the following two rules:
No cutting in line.
No making noise.
Aside from that, the other reason why the crowd was so quiet was because many of them were holding books in their hands.
Everyone had their heads lowered, silently and attentively reading the contents of their books.
As Gu Qing Shan carefully observed, she noticed that various books would occasionally appear above the long line of people.
They would randomly hover above the heads of people waiting in line, asking them if they wanted to read the contents of their books to pass the time.
This was free of charge.
Because the owner of the black market also felt that more people should learn about this world and the black market.
Looking at the books, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh.
Unfortunately — — Wang Cheng can't read.
Otherwise, I would've known more about the black market already.
At this point, a green-covered book hovered above his head and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you need any help?"
"Ah, yes, I want to know what kind of knowledge you have" Gu Qing Shan politely asked.
"I have a record of the events before and after the 5th destruction of this world, if you are interested, you can read it now"
"I'm very interested, thank you very much"
"You're welcome, then let us begin"
The book slowly fell into his hand and automatically flipped to the first page.
