In the wilderness.
A frosty fog was constantly manifesting.
The fog quickly scattered to reveal a middle-aged cultivator.
He had a long beard, wore a Daoist robe with a frost Blade hanging from his waist, giving him a dignified appearance.
Drifting Moon Immortal Sect's master, Zhao Wu Zong.
Of course, the real Zhao Wu Zong was already dead, this was actually Gu Qing Shan borrowing his appearance and identity.
Gu Qing Shan was pacing back and forth in the wilderness, carefully sensing the location of the Desolate world.
— — the Desolate world and the Primordial Heaven Realm overlapped, which was why the two worlds could be connected.
Gu Qing Shan had to find that place in order to enter the Desolate world.
A few moments later.
Gu Qing Shan stopped in front of a pile of rubble.
He crouched down and carefully examined the rubble in his hand.
These rubble contained chaotic and powerful power, which were the Desolate world's demon stones.
"Seems like this is the place"
Gu Qing Shan muttered.
— — according to the Golden Flame Divinity, when the Bygone Era humanity left, the worlds they created also disappeared, leaving only the Primordial Heaven Realm and the Primordial Wraith Realm.
As for the Desolate world, it couldn't be considered a complete world.
It was actually a temporary base that the Bygone Era humanity built before they left.
The Bygone Era humanity used various unimaginable powers to build this place right next to the Reality Gate, allowing them to investigate and study the mysteries of the Reality Gate.
After the Bygone Era humanity entered the Reality Gate, this place became empty.
After that, the Desolate race betrayed humanity and took over this place.
Took over …
Recalling the Golden Flame Divinity and the figure of light's words, Gu Qing Shan felt that the word 'took over' wasn't exactly accurate.
Because even now, the Desolate race was still exploring this place.
They didn't fully understand this place either.
It was just that they used power far greater than the Divinities and cultivators to take over this place, not allowing any other entities to take a single step inside.
Standing on top of the demon stone, Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out to take the coin and crushed it.
Instantly, an overwhelming power appeared out of nowhere and pulled him into the void of space.
…
The Desolate world.
The wilderness, which was made up of Magic Stones, was filled with powerful and chaotic energy.
Thunder boomed in the pitch-black night sky.
The raging wind swept across the dark clouds, whistling incessantly under the influence of the chaotic power.
Gu Qing Shan silently appeared from thin air.
With the frost blade in hand, he lightly landed on the ground.
There was no sound in the surroundings.
The thick smell of blood assailed their nostrils.
Gu Qing Shan's nose twitched.
Hmm …
Human blood doesn't taste like this …
He released his Divine Sense and swept it in the direction of the smell of blood.
A few hundred feet away, the corpses of the Desolate soldiers were strewn all over the ground.
Gu Qing Shan flew forward and carefully inspected the corpses.
"The meat isn't fresh anymore … It's been a long time …"
Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Judging from the marks on the corpses, these monsters were obviously killed by various spells and sharp weapons.
In other words, the missing great cultivators were heading in this direction.
Xie Gu Hong was also among them.
— — if I follow Xie Gu Hong, I'll definitely be able to find out what exactly happened.
Almost without thinking, Gu Qing Shan immediately decided to follow him.
The chaotic power in the sky was almost tangible, and flying would be very eye-catching, so Gu Qing Shan didn't dare to fly either.
He quickly ran across the barren wasteland filled with demon stones.
One incense stick's worth of time later.
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to conceal his presence and hide in a crater.
The wilderness ahead of him was filled with various Desolate monsters.
They filled the entire wilderness, all of them had their eyes closed as if they were hibernating.
Looking past these Desolate monsters towards the depths of the wilderness, he could faintly make out a gigantic structure that resembled the Pupil of Shadow.
Most likely, it was built by the Bygone Era humans.
Unfortunately, the entire wilderness was filled with monsters, making it impossible to pass through safely.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit, picked up a demon stone from the ground, and threw it towards the wilderness.
The demon stone only flew for a bit before it was shattered by a blurred figure.
The blurred figure stopped in mid-air.
— — -it was a long tongue that came from a certain Desolate monster on the ground.
It was a giant frog with three eyes.
"Croak!"
It uttered a resounding cry.
Instantly, many Desolate monsters woke up and cautiously looked around.
Whoosh!
Several hundred Desolate monsters flew up from the ground to check their surroundings.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan had already activated the camouflage formation and used the Presence Concealment technique.
— — -perhaps because these monsters weren't particularly strong, they didn't notice anything.
The monsters that were flying in the sky also retracted their wings and returned to their original positions.
They all closed their eyes and fell asleep again.
Gu Qing Shan waited for a bit longer until everything returned to silence before she lightly breathed out.
The entire wilderness was filled with countless monsters of all shapes and sizes.
I can't make it through.
But it's also unrealistic to kill my way out.
Using the power of the God of Frost and Chill, or unleashing 700 flying swords to fully display my swordsmanship, I might be able to alert the high-level Desolate monsters — — - or even the Lord of Desolation.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan was a bit impressed by the Lord of Desolation.
He didn't set up any patrols or defenses at all, just filled the entire wilderness with monsters, who would be able to enter that place?
— — then, how do I make it through?
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
Suddenly, not far from him, there was a hidden fluctuation of spiritual power that flashed and disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows twitched.
Only humans know how to use spirit energy.
In other words, there are other people here!
Gu Qing Shan immediately retracted the formation and formed a hand seal.
He used the simplest of techniques.
Telekinesis.
This was different from a sword cultivator using their mind to control their flying swords, they couldn't precisely control objects to the point where they could transfer spirit energy into their weapons, nor could they continuously unleash powerful attacks.
— — -when using Telekinesis, a cultivator could only use spirit energy to move objects.
Following Gu Qing Shan's hand seal, a demon stone on the ground moved a bit.
Gu Qing Shan immediately let go.
The hand seal faded.
The faint spirit energy fluctuation only existed for a split second before disappearing.
The Desolate monsters in the distance didn't notice it at all.
But Gu Qing Shan felt that this fluctuation was enough.
— — -if it was a human great cultivator, they would definitely notice the spirit energy fluctuation of this technique.
This would be enough to prove that I'm a human.
— — -in this era, when facing the Desolate monsters, humans are naturally united, so as long as I can prove my identity, there won't be too much of a problem.
Gu Qing Shan stood in the middle of the pit of rocks and silently waited for a few moments.
A few moments later.
A voice suddenly came from his inner sight: [So it was sect master Zhao, please wait a moment]
The voice disappeared.
Very quickly, the bottom of the pit where Gu Qing Shan was standing shook a bit to reveal a large hole.
A glowing red talisman flew out from the hole and spoke with a cultivator's voice:
[Brother Zhao, it's not safe here, once the chaotic tides erupt, you'll be easily discovered by the monsters, please come with us]
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: "Thank you"
Without hesitation, he jumped into the hole and followed the talisman until he reached a tunnel.
A white-haired cultivator was already waiting at the entrance of the tunnel.
When he saw Gu Qing Shan in front of him and sensed the spirit energy fluctuations coming from Gu Qing Shan's body, he finally relaxed a bit.
"Come quickly"
As soon as Gu Qing Shan came out from the tunnel, the white-haired old man put the talisman away and formed a hand seal towards the tunnel.
The tunnel instantly disappeared as if it was never there in the first place.
At the same time, another voice came:
"Sect master Zhao, why are you here as well?"
Gu Qing Shan turned around.
Only to see seven swords silently manifesting behind the person who spoke.
