The first light of dawn.
The light of dawn dyed everything within a thousand miles.
Gu Qing Shan stood in the middle of the Cold Jade Forest and gestured.
The sixteen divine guards immediately stopped in their tracks.
The figure of light spoke: 「 They can stop here, there is no need for too many people to know about human spies 」
Gu Qing Shan looked at the 16 Divine Guards.
The 16 Divine Guards immediately knelt down on one knee: 「 Your Majesty, please allow us to follow you and protect you 」
Gu Qing Shan chuckled: "None of you are as strong as I am, there is no need to follow me. Return and watch over that human female cultivator for me, do not let anyone enter the Grand Divine Palace or get close to her — — - she is related to the future of our Divine race"
"Yes!"
The 16 Divine Guards replied in unison, then turned around and flew towards the Sky Beyond Heaven.
"Let us continue forward" Gu Qing Shan told the figure of light.
「 Very well 」 the figure of light replied.
They flew deeper into the forest.
A few moments later.
The two of them stopped in front of a large tree.
The figure of light spoke to the tree: 「 Come out 」
The tree split open as a middle-aged cultivator appeared.
He had a long beard, wore a Daoist robe, and gave off a faint sense of pressure.
This man was clearly someone who held great authority over life and death for a long time.
The Daoist cautiously observed the figure of light, then looked at Gu Qing Shan and doubtfully asked: "Venerable Deities, I don't think I've met you before"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the figure of light.
The figure of light explained: 「 To hide from the great cultivators of humanity, as well as the Desolate race's investigation, we have placed people in the most important positions of humanity 」
「 Unless absolutely necessary, these people do not normally have any relations with us. Furthermore, without a token of trust, they will not recognize you as a human or a Deity 」
"Then what do they recognize?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The figure of light took out a coin and tossed it to the cultivator.
The cultivator received the coin, checked it a bit, then appeared relaxed.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
— — So it's money.
This middle-aged Daoist knelt down in front of the figure of light and Gu Qing Shan, sincerely speaking: "This subordinate is the sect master of the Drifting Moon Immortal Sect, Zhao Wu Zong, greets the two great Deities"
The figure of light told Gu Qing Shan: 「 This is Zhao Wu Zong, he spends most of his time hiding in the depths of the Drifting Moon Immortal Sect, rarely going out into the world. He doesn't have any close relationships with cultivators of the same realm, so you won't draw any suspicion by using his identity 」
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan told Zhao Wu Zong: "Stand up."
"Understood."
"Now we need to borrow your identity for something."
"May I ask what this subordinate should do?"
The figure of light spoke: 「 I will perform a spell on both you and the Divinity next to me. He will take your appearance and use your identity to do a certain thing. During this time, you will need to hide yourself and make sure not to expose yourself 」
Drifting Moon Immortal Sect Leader Zhao Wu Zong's expression gradually relaxed.
He thought it was something important.
So he was going to use his identity.
That was easy. He just needed to find a place to hide for a few days.
"This subordinate understands" he loudly replied.
The figure of light reached both hands out and said: 「 Come, each of you take one of my hands 」
Gu Qing Shan took its hand.
Zhao Wu Zong also did as he was told.
The figure of light told Gu Qing Shan: 「 This is to use the power of Law to change your appearance. You will take on the appearance and presence of this human cultivator, but don't worry, your strength will not change at all. In fact, this human cultivator was specifically chosen by me, a spell cultivator with the ability to use Water Elemental Ice 」
"Then how do I return to my original appearance?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 This is a high-level concealment technique imitated from the Bygone Era. It has many uses, but it doesn't have any restraining power. If you want to change back, just destroy it with everything you have 」 the figure of light replied.
It continued to remind her: 「 The only thing you need to be careful of is that we Divine race don't have human inner sight, we use telepathy, so if you run into other human cultivators, make sure you don't give yourself away at all costs 」
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised and smiled: "Then I can rest assured"
While saying so, he had already taken on the appearance of the middle-aged cultivator.
Gu Qing Shan waved her hand in the void of space and turned the ice into a mirror.
He took a look at himself and found that he really was the same.
But I'm still the God of Frost and Chill on the inside.
Hm … a bit weaker than [Mystery of All Beings Equal].
It was now that Gu Qing Shan walked in front of Zhao Wu Zong.
"Give me all of your personal belongings" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Ah? Yes, Venerable One "
Zhao Wu Zong was a bit surprised and hurriedly replied.
He took out his personal belongings as well as a few Inventory Bags. It wasn't until he took off the frost Blade on his side that he hesitated a bit.
This was the most precious Blade in the entire sect, its value couldn't be measured.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan chuckled: "I have no use for these pieces of trash of yours, it's only to make it easier for me to disguise as you that I have no choice but to keep them with me"
After a bit of thought, he took out the Frost Staff and waved it in front of Zhao Wu Zong.
— — -this was the God of Frost and Chill's weapon, a Divine Armament.
It was thanks to this staff that Gu Qing Shan managed to learn many of the God of Frost and Chill's techniques.
As soon as he took out the Frost Staff, Zhao Wu Zong's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He was a cultivator who practiced Frost techniques.
This staff in front of him was infused with numerous mystical Laws of Frost, so just looking at it gave him a lot of inspiration.
If I could hold this staff, I wouldn't even need to cultivate to break through my understanding of the Law of Frost.
Zhao Wu Zong sighed.
That's right, a Divinity's personal weapon is so powerful, why would it want this frost Blade in my hand?
— — -such a powerful weapon, such power, isn't this the reason why I joined the Divinities in the first place?
He untied the frost Blade, knelt down on one knee, and offered it to Gu Qing Shan with both hands.
Gu Qing Shan received the frost Blade, then tossed the staff to him and casually said: "Take it for me"
Zhao Wu Zong hurriedly caught the frost Blade and doubtfully asked: "Venerable Deity, what do you mean?"
"I'll borrow your identity and weapons, I'll let you keep this Divine Staff for a few days as your contribution" Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.
Zhao Wu Zong was ecstatic: "Thank you, Venerable Deity! Thank you, Venerable Deity! "
"You're welcome"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan slashed the frost Blade in her hand at Zhao Wu Zong.
Zhao Wu Zong's expression changed, but found that the frost Blade in his hand had silently frozen his entire body.
Sha!
The frost Blade flashed.
Zhao Wu Zong was cut in half and died on the spot.
The figure of light asked: 「 You killed him just like that? 」
「 My identity is too important, only a dead person can keep my identity a secret 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
— — indeed, compared to the Divine King's safety, what is the life or death of a spy?
Not to mention, this is only a phantom image, so if he dies, he dies.
The figure of light nodded and pointed at Zhao Wu Zong's corpse.
The corpse disappeared into the void of space, disappearing without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the War God UI.
A few lines of glowing text appeared:
[Your own strength is inferior to Zhao Wu Zong's]
[But because you disguised yourself as the God of Frost and Chill]
[And because you disguised yourself as Zhao Wu Zong]
[Because of this, the Soul Points gained from this battle cannot be determined by your own strength alone]
Gu Qing Shan sent her voice straight away: "Take as much as you want, remember to leave some for me, no need to tell me here"
The System went silent.
[Ting]!
A line of glowing text appeared on the UI:
[You obtained 5 Soul Points]
5 Soul Points!
Bastard, the one you killed was still the sect master, aren't you being too merciless!?
Gu Qing Shan silently complained.
The System immediately replied: [Don't forget, during the Divine race's inheritance, I used a lot of Soul Points]
Hearing it say that, Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to give up.
— — that's right, it did help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to obtain the secret and level up my Card at the time.
Hah, I can only hope that I'll be able to obtain a bit more Soul Points next time …
While he was thinking, the figure of light took out two more coins and gave them to him.
The figure of light carefully explained: 「 This is the Desolate world's special warp coin, once you arrive at the intersection of the two worlds, activate this coin to enter the Desolate world 」
「 The other is the Primordial Heaven Realm's warp coin, activate it and you'll return 」
「 Keep in mind, both coins can only be used once 」
Gu Qing Shan looked at the two coins curiously.
They were made of different materials.
The one used to travel to the Desolate world was a very rare type of coin, and it was very old.
As for the one used to return to the Primordial Heaven Realm, it was the same design and style as the ones he saw in the Strife Zones.
The figure of light asked: 「 Do you have any other questions about these two coins? 」
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent and didn't ask anything.
— — -he doesn't know anything about the coins.
Then, are there some sort of secret between these two different coins, or is it common knowledge known to all Divinities?
Without knowing this, asking anything would be risky.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then decided to skip this question and asked in return: "Are you coming with me?"
— — -this was another very important question.
Hearing that, the figure of light shook his head: 「 I don't have a true body, so I can't turn into a human and travel to the Desolate world. Not to mention, I'm a manifestation of the will of countless Divinities, the Lord of Desolation would be able to sense me as soon as I appear in the Desolate world 」
"Then go back and watch over that human female cultivator for me, don't let anyone interrupt the creation of the jade disk" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 … Very well 」 the figure of light replied.
Gu Qing Shan emphasized: "Even the Golden Flame Divinity can't touch her!"
The figure of light was a bit hesitant.
Gu Qing Shan walked forward and whispered into the figure of light's ear: "The Golden Flame Divinity can only care about the future, other than asking us for help, he won't bring any benefits to our Age of Old Divinity"
He continued: "In this era, this king wishes to use the Heaven sword to serve the Divinities of this era, to use this sword to change the fate of the Divinities of this era!"
The figure of light remained silent.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "You represent the will of countless Divinities of this era. Tell me, do the Divinities of this era want the Golden Flame Divinity's future, or do they want their own present?"
The figure of light didn't hesitate and nodded: 「 I understand, I will watch over that human female cultivator and not let anyone touch her 」
Gu Qing Shan happily retreated.
The 16 Divine Guards, all the Divinities of the Sky Beyond Heaven, the figure of light — — with so many Divinities protecting Luo Bingli, Gu Qing Shan didn't believe that the Golden Flame Divinity would be able to kidnap Luo Bingli right under their noses.
Now I can head to the Desolate world without worries.
He tied the frost Blade to his waist and recalled Zhao Wu Zong's expression.
"I'm leaving"
