In the barren wilderness.
The figure stood still without moving, as if waiting for something.
Time slowly passed.
15 minutes later.
A stream of light flew over from the sky, and a figure appeared in the air.
It was a patrolling cultivator who was ordered by the sect to check the situation.
This place was so secluded that even if there were any supernatural phenomena, it would be very hard to sense it from several thousand miles away.
Not to mention, the figure only took a few breaths' worth of time to appear before the supernatural phenomena disappeared.
The nearby sect only sensed a slight abnormality, so they sent a cultivator to check the situation.
The patrolling cultivator flew above the figure and shouted: "Who are you? What are you doing here? "
He held the tool in his hand, ready to attack at any moment.
In such a desolate place, there was a single person standing still, this in itself was very strange.
"You asked who I am?"
The figure asked in return and looked up.
The patrolling cultivator's expression changed.
He hurriedly descended from the sky and knelt down in front of the figure: "I didn't know that Divinity was here, I have offended you, please forgive me"
There's no mistaking it. A flame of light between the eyebrows, a body shrouded in glorious light that makes it impossible to see their appearance — — - this is a Divinity.
I actually scolded a Divinity, this is a great crime!
Thinking that, the cultivator couldn't help but tremble.
The figure carefully observed the trembling cultivator, then after a long while, spoke in satisfaction: "Hm, your attitude is quite good, it allowed me to feel the humbleness of living beings from the Age of Old, so I have decided to grant you forgiveness and a gift"
The cultivator froze, unable to understand the first half of the other party's sentence.
Fortunately, he understood the last half.
A Divinity wants to grant me a gift!
This is truly a great opportunity.
The cultivator bowed and spoke in joy: "Thank you, Divinity, for your favor, this humble one is eternally grateful"
The figure reached his hand out and placed it on the cultivator's forehead.
"Your gratitude is so real. I can feel it."
Saying so, the figure began to change.
It turned into the cultivator's appearance.
They were exactly the same, so much so that even the closest people to this cultivator couldn't tell them apart.
The only difference was that one of them had a flame of light between his eyebrows.
The figure seemed to have noticed this as well.
He wiped his forehead with his hand, and the flame immediately disappeared.
It was only then that he spoke: "Since you are so humble and have provided me with an identity, I shall grant you a painless destruction — — I rarely grant living beings such a peaceful death, it is your honor"
The cultivator was stunned.
He had no idea what was going on.
Before he could do anything, his entire body gradually lost its vitality and turned into a gray statue.
The sculpture was blown away by the wind and turned into dust, flying all over the sky.
He no longer existed in the world.
No.
The other him was still there.
He waved his hand.
All the magic tools and Storage Bags on the ground flew into his hands.
He put the items away, closed his eyes, and carefully examined the cultivator's memories.
Gu Qing Shan, Xie Gu Hong's eldest disciple, caused a ruckus in Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace, drawing the attention of the Divinities … hm, this is a crucial time, many Divinities are paying attention to that sect, how troublesome, I can't meet them from the past … "
"Seems like I'll have to think of a way to enter Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace"
The cultivator pondered for a long time before flying into the sky and flying into the distance.
The other side.
Human Race 23rd Reserve Corps Camp.
It was deep into the night.
Gu Qing Shan wandered around the camp several times before arriving at the main gate.
The cultivator in charge of guarding the formation looked at his waist tag and smiled.
"I was wondering why the spirit cooking today was unexpectedly delicious, turns out it was because of a new cook"
"You flatter me" Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.
"Then where are you going?" the cultivator asked.
"I'm going to take a stroll, I'm not familiar with the surroundings yet" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Hearing that, the cultivator patiently told him: "Don't go North, that place is close to a few other camps, you can't trespass without permission. The West side is a barren mountain with nothing in it, but there's a market in the Southeast that's close to a few sects, it's very lively, you can go there"
"Thank you for your guidance" Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist and said.
"Hm, go"
The cultivator opened the formation and Gu Qing Shan left the camp.
He first flew Southeast for a while, only after confirming that there was no one around did he turn West.
After flying for about half an hour.
Gu Qing Shan had reached the deepest part of the barren mountain.
He chose an empty area, landed, and finished arranging the layers of formations.
Standing still and silently meditating for a bit, Gu Qing Shan felt that he had made his preparations.
He put the ice cicada silver mask away, circulated his spirit energy, and began to break through to the next realm.
Sensing a certain omen from his body, heaven and earth began to change accordingly.
Intense wind began to blow.
Dark clouds gathered.
Bolts of lightning flashed incessantly in the clouds.
Lines of glowing text began to appear in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes on the War God UI.
[You're currently breaking through Virtualized realm, advancing towards Cryptic realm]
[The Heaven's Tribulation is about to descend, please prepare to face it]
[Five]
[Four]
[Three]
[Two]
[One]
[Begin!]
Boom — — -
The sparks of lightning rained down.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and focused his thoughts.
Two flying swords appeared from the void of space, shot to the sky, and slashed at the sparks of lightning.
The bolts of lightning were split into sparks and scattered by the flying swords.
But even more bolts of lightning appeared from within the Tribulation clouds, striking towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan silently formed a sword seal.
The two swords turned into blurred images, flying through the storm of lightning at full speed.
The balls of lightning were pierced through by the flying swords.
The sparks of lightning and the flying swords continued to clash!
…
Time slowly passed.
The Lightning Tribulation was reaching its end.
Gu Qing Shan knew that something was about to happen.
He sighed, rubbed his face, and tried his best to appear as friendly as possible.
A second later.
『Wahahaha, Devil King Gu, you're facing your Tribulation again, your advancement speed sure is fast』 a Devil King jumped out from the void of space.
『… Old Gu, when this King appeared this time, I can feel that the Tribulation's suppression on this King has lessened quite a bit, it seems you've grown stronger』 a gigantic Devil King appeared from the void of space with his back hunched.
Another Devil King wearing a Daoist robe without a single wrinkle on it appeared from the void of space and waved at Gu Qing Shan.
『Boss Gu, come, come, since you've reached Cryptic realm, the Heaven's Tribulation has finally arranged for a few big shots to come here, let me introduce you to them』
Gu Qing Shan opened his arms and smiled: "Old Blood Devil! Ahahaha, welcome, welcome, brothers and sisters, I've already prepared quite a bit of spirit food and meat, let's take this chance to have a good gathering "
『That's right! As soon as I received the confirmation of the Tribulation, I immediately accepted the Seat of Tribulation and came here early, it's all because of you, old Gu』
『Come, everyone get a table and have a drink, it's been a while since I last came out』
『Ah? Where's that female Devil King from last time?』
『Ahaha, you like her? She likes to eat fiends like you』
『Hah … actually, I also like to eat fiends like her, but that's all in the past when I was young, now is a good time to have a chat』
A female voice came: 『Have a chat? Or just flirt?』
A female Devil King appeared from the void of space and floated down.
She landed next to Gu Qing Shan, blew into his ear, then looked at the other evil creatures: 『Devil King Gu is the fiercest type of fiend, only this Devil King likes them, the rest of you don't need to bother』
The evil creatures all laughed.
Gu Qing Shan offered a cup of liquor to the female Devil King and smiled: "Come, drink"
His face was already a bit stiff.
A grand banquet began.
