He opened his eyes.
Gu Qing Shan found himself inside the black tide of light again.
So I'm dead.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
Just now, the Spirit Tortoise said that not entering the Heavenly Palace means death.
Because of this, it had killed him out of sympathy.
Is it really that hard to survive outside the Heavenly Palace?
But the jade disk is already destroyed, I can't even use [War God Skills] to replicate the method of creating it.
What should I do now?
The dark figure of light spoke up: 「 You still have 700 — — - 」
Gu Qing Shan cut him off: "I don't want to know how many more times I have"
「 Alright, do as you wish 」
Saying so, the dark figure of light continued to munch on a chicken drumstick.
Gu Qing Shan picked up a gourd of liquor from the ground, opened the cork, and gulped it down in one gulp.
The dark figure of light looked at him and commented: 「 Your taste is quite unique 」
"Why do you say that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 That thing you just drank was too spicy, it didn't taste good at all 」 the dark figure of light replied.
「 Once you go out and experience a few more things, you'll come to like its taste 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
He put the gourd of liquor back on the ground, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Again!"
「 Very well! 」 the dark figure of light replied.
The dark figure of light surged forward like a tidal wave, once again enveloping him into the abyss of time.
Bai Hua Palace fetched the formation plate.
Justice Iron Fist Club transported him.
Once again arrived at the Primordial Heaven Realm.
Gu Qing Shan stood on top of the clouds, carefully rethinking the entire process.
He walked to the edge of the clouds, leapt up, and rode the wind to fly.
It wasn't until he reached the bottom of the mountain, right in front of the thick layer of clouds that Gu Qing Shan stopped.
He formed a wind hand seal again.
The intense wind blew the clouds away, revealing the Spirit Tortoise's mountain-sized body.
As soon as the clouds scattered, the Spirit Tortoise had already sensed it.
It slowly opened its eyes.
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: "Senior, I am the current sect master of the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace, please take me into the Heavenly Palace"
The Spirit Tortoise evaluated him: 「 Do you have the Heavenly Palace jade disk? 」
Gu Qing Shan replied: "The Heavenly Palace jade disk has been passed down to my generation, so it's already completely broken, but I can prove my identity"
He performed [Heaven's Fall], [Ground Shrink], followed by [Unbreakable Mountain].
— — -these were both Divine Skills from the Barren Cloud Palace.
After that, Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a rectangular jade box.
He carefully opened the jade box and showed the half-broken Earth sword to the Spirit Tortoise.
The Spirit Tortoise stared closely at the Earth sword and muttered: 「 I knew it was heavily wounded, but I didn't think it was already broken … 」
"That's right, the reason I came to the Primordial Heaven Realm this time was to find the Heaven sword, I heard that only the Heaven sword can help it recover"
The Spirit Tortoise looked at Gu Qing Shan with a complicated look: 「 Although your cultivation is higher than those who came before, you are still too weak. Without the jade disk, you won't be able to survive here with your current strength 」
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: "Please show me the way, senior, I must save the Earth sword"
The Spirit Tortoise replied: 「 You should return, it's already not easy for a Virtualized realm cultivator like you to appear in the lower realms, don't die here so easily 」
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist again and sincerely said: "With the invasion of the demons, the fall of the Divinities, the awakening of the ancient evils, and the destruction of billions of worlds, this humble one would only be waiting for death if I return, so I might as well die here. Please show me the way, senior, this humble one will save the Earth sword even if I have to go through fire and water"
The Spirit Tortoise sighed: 「 Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! Although you are sincere, without the jade disk, you won't be able to survive here, let alone find the Heaven sword 」
Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked: "Do I really need the jade disk to survive in the Heaven realm?"
The Spirit Tortoise answered: 「 With the jade disk, you will be able to survive in the Heavenly Palace, at least with your life intact 」
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Is there no other way to survive?"
The Spirit Tortoise answered: 「 As a spirit beast, I still have to rely on my innate Thaumaturgy to survive until now. The Yellow Dragon, Vermillion Bird, and Kirin have all fallen, leaving only a sliver of their souls. Your chances of survival are even slimmer, even if I were to risk my life to help you, it would be a waste of effort 」
Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked: "But I'm still alive right now"
The Spirit Tortoise went silent for a few moments, then spoke: 「 It's coming 」
It glanced at Gu Qing Shan with a look of pity, then retracted its head and four claws into the giant turtle shell.
The Spirit Tortoise's voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
「 If you can survive for more than 2 hours, you will have a chance to survive in the wild. At that time, come find me again, I will take you to steal the jade disk 」
After saying so, the Spirit Tortoise went silent.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Survive for more than 2 hours?
What exactly is going to happen now?
Before he could think about it, an unknown fluctuation suddenly swept across the entire world.
Gu Qing Shan felt an irresistible spirit pressure descending from above.
He was pressed down from the sky to the ground by this immense spirit pressure, unable to move.
Gu Qing Shan moved his body a bit.
He wasn't hurt at all.
This spirit pressure was both gentle and firm, as long as it sent him down to the ground.
Gu Qing Shan sighed helplessly.
According to Shifu, the outside of the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace is ten thousand times more dangerous.
The Spirit Tortoise also said that it would be useless even if it risked its life to help me, only if I can survive for more than 2 hours would I be worthy of its help.
But …
Aren't I still standing in the middle of the wilderness?
Perhaps after hundreds of millions of years, those dangerous things had already died?
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking that, his vision suddenly blurred.
The barren land disappeared.
He found himself standing in the middle of a large group of people.
Gu Qing Shan's expression didn't change as he silently looked around.
Only to see that all the cultivators around him were fully armored, each of them had a serious expression on their faces.
Gu Qing Shan silently sensed their spirit energy waves, feeling that even the weakest among them was stronger than Shifu.
The strength of these people is too terrifying.
Could it be an illusion?
… No, this is much more realistic than an illusion.
Gu Qing Shan silently sensed his surroundings.
He looked afar.
As far as the eye could see, there were cultivators clad in battle armor everywhere.
They drew their weapons, followed by their spirit beasts, standing in neat combat formations.
The entire land was filled with cultivators.
In the sky, airships were flying back and forth — — - the ones that were moving slowly were the large-scale war fortresses hovering above the cultivators' formations.
The world was silent.
Only the sound of the wind could be heard.
All the cultivators were gathering their strength, as if waiting for something.
"Get ready — — -"
Someone shouted.
"What?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
The voice from before resounded again: "Everyone, charge!"
All the cultivators shouted in unison: "Charge!"
But they couldn't do it in time.
Far away in the sky, a streak of white light shot towards Gu Qing Shan's direction.
Boom!
The white light exploded in the middle of the formation.
The entire ground was blown up by the immense force.
The cultivators on Gu Qing Shan's side were instantly decimated by the white light.
Before Gu Qing Shan could react, he was only affected by the shockwave for a brief moment before he was sent flying into the sky.
Before he died, he saw a giant head full of eyes slowly looking down from the sky.
Darkness descended.
…
When he opened his eyes again.
Gu Qing Shan found himself standing in the middle of the tide of darkness.
"You've returned from the dead?" the dark figure of light stood on one side and looked at him.
"Hm, something strange happened" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
He suddenly recalled something and asked: "Wait a minute, you can see how I die every time?"
"Yes" the dark figure of light replied.
"Then just now — — -"
"Just now, you were sent to the Age of Old by some sort of power, almost unable to return"
