Gu Qing Shan was standing in the middle of the tide of darkness.
He was carefully observing the Primordial Heaven Realm warp formation plate in his hand.
On the formation plate, the Kirin, the Phoenix, the Spirit Tortoise, and the Yellow Dragon each took a corner and looked around.
Just now, after being killed by the Yellow Dragon in a single glance, Gu Qing Shan decided to change his route again.
After a long flight, he finally reached the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain was a pavilion.
The Mountain Guardian Pavilion.
In the Mountain Guarding Pavilion, a Qilin was sleeping soundly.
Noticing someone approaching, the Kirin lazily opened its eyes and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan's vision went dark.
…
Returning to the tide of darkness, Gu Qing Shan began to think of a way to enter Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace.
He noticed that the first two times he walked on the surface of the clouds, he alerted the Yellow Dragon and Kirin.
Then … how about flying over?
Everything started over again.
This time, Gu Qing Shan didn't walk on the clouds.
He took to the air and turned into a streak of light as he flew towards the palace on the faraway mountain.
After passing through the feeding garden and the Mountain Guardian Pavilion, Gu Qing Shan was about to reach the top of the mountain.
At this point, he suddenly noticed a gigantic Parasol Tree in the middle of the mountain.
A large bird covered in crimson feathers was sitting on top of the Parasol Tree.
As Gu Qing Shan flew over, the bird couldn't help but crane its neck to look at Gu Qing Shan.
— — this bird was exactly the same as the phoenix carved on the Primordial Heaven Realm warp formation plate.
It wasn't a normal bird, it was a phoenix!
Gu Qing Shan sighed helplessly.
Then his vision went dark.
Gu Qing Shan returned to the tide of darkness.
「 What's the matter? Are things not going well? 」 the dark figure of light asked.
The dark figure of light was holding a few jade tags in his hand, reading through some interesting things about the cultivation world.
"It's not going well, but I'll think of a way" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 That's good, I can only use this skill once in my life, make sure to cherish it 」 the dark figure of light said.
"I know, of course I will treasure it" Gu Qing Shan said.
Playing with the formation plate, he silently thought about how to enter Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace.
This was indeed a difficult problem.
If he couldn't even take a look, how could he enter the Heavenly Palace?
Even if he transformed into a bird, he wouldn't be able to withstand the gaze of a phoenix.
The Yellow Dragon was easy to pass, but the Qilin was guarding the mountain gate, and the Phoenix was guarding the group of palaces at the peak of the mountain — apart from them, there was also a Spirit Tortoise hiding somewhere.
Against such an unimaginably powerful spirit beast, even if he had eight hundred chances, he still wouldn't be able to overcome it.
Was there any way to avoid them?
Gu Qing Shan fell into deep thought.
「 Still haven't come up with a solution? 」 the dark figure of light asked.
"Let's try again, take me there" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 Very well 」 the dark figure of light replied.
Boom!
The tide of darkness once again engulfed Gu Qing Shan.
After talking with the Hundred Flowers Fairy, he used the Void String to arrive at the Justice Iron Fist Club and activated the Primordial Heaven Realm Teleportation Circle.
Gu Qing Shan once again returned to the Primordial Heaven Realm.
This time, he walked up to the edge of the clouds and looked down.
Below the gloomy sky was a vast expanse of land.
— — -he wasn't going to travel through the clouds this time.
Gu Qing Shan intended to fly straight down from the clouds, avoiding the feeding garden and the Mountain Guardian Pavilion, all the way to the bottom of the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace.
As long as the mountain is a normal mountain, I can use my swords to open a path from the bottom of the mountain.
This way, I'll be able to perfectly avoid the phoenix and enter the Heavenly Palace from the bottom of the mountain.
Gu Qing Shan thought about it over and over again.
This is a good idea.
However, I'll have to be a bit more discreet when I open the mountain.
Instead, I'll turn into a pangolin-like animal and slowly dig a path into the mountain.
That's it.
Gu Qing Shan jumped down from the clouds.
He continued to descend until he almost reached the ground before slowly stopping.
The ground was barren and silent.
For the sake of safety, Gu Qing Shan didn't even try to touch the ground, nor did he think about moving forward on the ground.
He flew towards the faraway mountain.
Looking up from below the clouds, the scenery was a bit different.
The clouds in other places were very thin and indistinct, but the clouds at the foot of the mountain were a little too thick.
— — -but if the clouds weren't so thick, they wouldn't be able to support a mountain and a palace.
Gu Qing Shan pondered and sped up.
He flew as fast as he could through the sky and safely reached the bottom of the mountain.
The Yellow Dragon, Kirin, and phoenix couldn't pay attention to this place.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to scan the clouds.
He couldn't sense anything.
Seems like there's still quite a bit of distance between this place and the bottom of the mountain.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and flew as fast as he could towards the thick layer of clouds.
Clang!
An earth-shattering sound of impact.
Gu Qing Shan was knocked back by the clouds.
He clutched his forehead and fell down for a while before he slowly stopped.
The impact was too painful!
Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth and endured for a while before the pain subsided a bit.
He looked up.
Thick clouds shrouded everything in the sky.
What kind of clouds are these? Why can't even my inner sight see what's inside?
And also, what kind of thing did I just hit my head on?
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but form a wind hand seal.
This was the most basic of spells, the only thing it could do was summon wind spirits.
As his spirit energy flowed, the hand seal was completed.
The wind picked up.
The wind howled and blew towards the thick clouds!
Gu Qing Shan was now a Virtualized realm cultivator, so any spell he used would be much more powerful than before.
The entire cloud layer where the mountain was located was shrouded in the gale.
The clouds were quickly blown away by the wind, revealing the scene inside.
Gu Qing Shan looked up at the cloud layer in shock, slowly losing the desire to talk.
He finally knew what he had bumped into.
The Spirit Tortoise.
The Yellow Dragon, Kirin, and even the phoenix weren't even 1/10th of its size.
This gigantic Spirit Tortoise was carrying a mountain on its back, slowly flying through the sky.
But its eyes were still closed, as if it was sleeping.
Gu Qing Shan's attack didn't even make it feel anything.
The world was silent.
Time slowly passed.
Gu Qing Shan silently hovered in the sky, staring at the Spirit Tortoise.
Whenever the Spirit Tortoise breathed, clouds would come out from its nostrils and slowly fill the air.
The clouds slowly formed into a layer of clouds that covered part of the Spirit Tortoise's body.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and silently sensed it.
He could sense an extremely tremendous life force from the spirit turtle. The life force was like an endless, roaring fire.
In fact, from Gu Qing Shan's spirit sense, his Virtualized realm self was like a firefly, while the Spirit Tortoise's vitality was like the sun itself.
This has never happened before.
— — wait a minute.
Gu Qing Shan abruptly opened his eyes and muttered: "This can't be right, the Yellow Dragon, Kirin, and Phoenix I saw before, although they were also powerful, why didn't they give me this feeling?"
Gu Qing Shan tried to recall what it was like when he saw the other three ancient spirit beasts.
Something really didn't seem right.
For the three ancient spirit beasts, an ant like me shouldn't have posed any threat.
But they still killed me.
There was no communication.
Not a single sound.
As if they were following the rules, they coldly and mechanically killed me.
— — -but the Spirit Tortoise was different.
The Spirit Tortoise was peacefully sleeping.
Spirit beasts of their level should be able to easily sense a lot of things with their innate spirit sense.
The Spirit Tortoise didn't sense any threat from Gu Qing Shan.
It was still able to sleep peacefully.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but feel that something was wrong with the other three spirit beasts.
All of a sudden, a voice resounded in his mind.
「 You want to enter the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace? Brat, show me your jade disk 」
Gu Qing Shan abruptly looked up.
At some unknown point, the Spirit Tortoise had woken up.
It was staring at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly. A few moments later.
My vision didn't darken.
I didn't die.
That's right, I didn't die this time!
As he hovered in the air, he slowly realized what just happened.
An entity of the Spirit Tortoise's level would definitely be able to perfectly control its power.
When it doesn't want to kill someone, it would definitely be able to restrain its power.
Gu Qing Shan regained his senses and clasped his fist towards the Spirit Tortoise: "The Heavenly Palace jade disk has already been broken, please do me a favor"
The Spirit Tortoise immediately refused: 「 No jade disk? Then you can't enter the Heavenly Palace 」
The Spirit Tortoise stared at him sympathetically, then said: 「 Fine, if you can't enter the Heavenly Palace, only death awaits you, I'll send you off 」
