Gu Qing Shan stood in front of the Daoist temple's gate and looked up.
The walls of the Daoist temple reached all the way to the sky, without any end in sight.
According to this world's Subsystem, the Daoist temple was a place to store cultivation scriptures, weapons, and treasures from the Bygone Era.
But because this world was under the Desolate race's control, it had never had any contact with human cultivators.
— — no.
From the looks of it, it wasn't under the Desolate race's control, but rather a clone of the Soul Shrieker.
In terms of strength, the Soul Shrieker's clone was invincible among the Desolate race, capable of slaughtering the Divine race as if they were livestock.
But it allowed Xie Gu Hong's group to enter this place.
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent briefly, then acted.
He put his hand on the Daoist temple's gate.
Immediately, a voice came from the gate:
[Welcome, human civilian, young boy]
[This place contains a large number of cultivation-type inheritances and treasures, a total of 36 floors, each floor contains countless treasures and scriptures]
[Attention, you may only choose a single treasure during this entry]
[Some treasures have a certain degree of backlash, some treasures will automatically choose their own master, as well as other situations]
[You must be careful, keep that in mind!]
Rumble rumble!
The gate opened on both sides.
Gu Qing Shan leapt into the Daoist temple.
The first floor of the Daoist temple was completely empty, only a single warp formation was set up at the center.
Gu Qing Shan scanned it with his inner sight.
This was a short-distance warp formation.
A short-distance warp formation was one of the simplest types of formation, in fact, this formation from the Bygone Era wasn't too different from the ones from the future.
The various grooves of the warp formation had already been filled with spirit stones, ready to be used at any time.
Gu Qing Shan was already a top-notch formation user, so he circled around the warp formation and carefully sensed the state of each spirit stone.
These spirit stones contained quite a bit of spirit energy, forming a gentle and balanced flow of spirit energy.
Around the formation, the residual spirit energy fluctuations had already calmed down, but there was still an extremely faint spatial fluctuation in the void of space.
… Half an hour later.
From the intensity of this fluctuation, the last time the formation was activated was about half an hour ago.
— — there's no mistaking it, it must be Xie Gu Hong's group.
Gu Qing Shan leapt onto the formation.
Buzz!
The formation was instantly activated and brought Gu Qing Shan away from this floor.
The second floor.
Gu Qing Shan appeared on a high platform.
Looking at the scene in front of him, he was slightly shocked.
Below the platform was a vast ocean that flickered with a metallic luster.
All sorts of weapons and armors were piled up densely, layer upon layer, and were simply innumerable.
As far as the eye could see, it was impossible to see just how deep these artifacts were piled.
Even with Gu Qing Shan's eyesight, she could only see what seemed to be another high platform in the distance.
Gu Qing Shan leapt up from the platform and activated [Ground Shrink]!
He didn't want to take a second look at this' ocean 'filled with treasures.
— — the burly man was waiting at the entrance of the world, trying to stall me.
Since that's the case, Gu Qing Shan decided to buy as much time as he could to take a look at what was going on!
At the very next moment, Gu Qing Shan had already passed through this vast ocean of weapons and reached another high platform.
It was still a warp formation.
The indentations on the formation were still filled with spirit stones.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan stood on it, he was teleported away.
He left the second floor and arrived at the third floor.
This floor was different from the one before it.
Below the high platform, there were countless talismans floating quietly.
The Elemental talismans were glowing with the corresponding Elemental light.
The buffing talismans didn't glow, but there were runes revolving around the talismans that manifested in the void of space.
The space-type talismans gathered by themselves to form a distorted space.
There were also various other mysterious talismans that found their own corners and stayed there by themselves.
Gu Qing Shan only glanced through them without feeling tempted.
He quickly found the high platform that led to the next floor, so he used [Ground Shrink] again and moved up.
The fourth floor.
Clouds drifted around.
Below the high platform were scriptures and scriptures.
These scriptures weren't complicated at all, so there was no need to specifically pass down images or thoughts, they could just be recorded in books.
Gu Qing Shan knew that there must be some important sword techniques among them.
Although there was no such thing as a Secret Art in the Bygone Era, every single strike and strike was a world-shaking sword technique.
From the development of swordsmanship, the cultivators of the future didn't have a high enough cultivation and spirit energy, so they couldn't help but think of a way to concentrate all of their power into a single strike to unleash a powerful attack.
This was how Secret Arts were created.
Purely from the perspective of swordsmanship, this could be considered a type of progress.
If he gave the Secret Art to those ancient sword cultivators — — -
With their top-notch cultivation and abundant spirit energy, the Secret Art would be able to unleash even more power.
Gu Qing Shan only hesitated for a split second before giving up on the chance to choose a scripture.
There's something more important to do right now!
His figure flashed and leapt onto the high platform that led to the next floor.
The fifth floor.
Spirit energy converged to form a small stream that flowed around a lush green island.
This was an ancient spirit botanical island that was filled with all sorts of rare and precious plants.
Gu Qing Shan scanned around with her inner sight, but didn't find Xie Gu Hong anywhere, so she leapt onto the high platform that led to the next floor.
Sure enough, the indentations on the warp formation had already been filled with spirit stones.
Gu Qing Shan activated the formation and left this floor.
The sixth floor.
Countless precious smithing materials floated in the air.
The seventh floor.
There were all sorts of small treasure tools here, mainly clothing items like earrings, thumb rings, hair bands, jade pendants, and so on.
The eighth floor.
From this floor onwards, there were a lot fewer things.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the tortoiseshell in the middle of the floor.
The tortoiseshell gave off an indescribable sense of vicissitudes, it was even giving off a faint grey glow that rose straight up to the sky.
This was a top-grade Divination treasure, even with Gu Qing Shan's spirit sense, she could faintly sense some vague images from it.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Although I've never practiced Divination before, with this tortoiseshell, both Xie Dao Ling and Qin Xiaolou can guarantee that Bai Hua sect will be able to foretell the future for the next few hundred years.
— — – Gu Qing Shan suddenly thought of something.
Did the humans of the Bygone Era leave in a hurry because they knew too much?
Shaking his head, Gu Qing Shan didn't think about it anymore.
His figure flashed, leapt onto the high platform that led to the next floor, activated the formation, and left.
The ninth floor.
Hazy specks of light floated in the air like fireflies dancing under the high platform.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
This was a Spirit Bestowment technique from the Age of Old, which turned a certain Thaumaturgy into light to form sprites of light.
If one wanted to use it, they would need to take a sprite of light and put it into an artifact.
Some powerful Thaumaturgy that could move mountains and fill oceans were passed down from dead cultivators through this method.
But this method had already been lost.
Gu Qing Shan didn't have the time to look into the secrets of these Spirit Bestowment techniques.
He left again.
The tenth floor.
At this floor, there were even fewer treasures, but their rarity had also greatly increased.
Gu Qing Shan decided not to look at these treasures to avoid being unable to control his thoughts.
He flew onto the high platform that led to the next floor.
— — -the warp formation here was still filled with spirit stones.
Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally.
Even with so many treasures here, Xie Gu Hong didn't care for any of them.
So what exactly is Xie Gu Hong doing right now?
The light of the formation flashed.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared from this floor.
The eleventh floor.
There were 30 sets of armors on this floor.
Even though they weren't worn by anyone and were just sitting there, they still exuded a sense of power and beauty, enough to make anyone want to pick one up and take it away.
Gu Qing Shan turned around and left.
The twelfth floor.
More than twenty pills were jumping and playing around under the high platform.
— — -they had gained sentience and sentience, never mind consuming them, just carrying them around would greatly benefit a cultivator.
The thirteenth floor.
18 formation plates silently hovered in the air. Various supernatural phenomena were constantly manifesting in the void of space around the formation plates.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit anxious.
Why isn't there even a single clue? Which floor did Xie Gu Hong go to?
The fourteenth floor.
There were many spirit beast summoning talismans on this floor.
Gu Qing Shan didn't know how the Bygone Era humanity ensured that these spirit beasts could survive until now.
Time was of the essence, so he didn't have the time to investigate this miraculous matter.
The fifteenth floor.
Many jade plates were floating in the air.
These talismans could open certain Bygone Era Heaven's Grotto-Heaven.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit tempted.
But Xie Gu Hong was still nowhere to be seen.
He had no choice but to continue.
The sixteenth floor.
"Sect master Zhao, you're here as well"
A familiar voice called out.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Xie Gu Hong and the white-haired old man were both standing in front of a row of jade tags.
The two of them were both looking at him.
Gu Qing Shan noticed that Xie Gu Hong was holding a bronze mirror in his hand.
Bronze … mirror?
Gu Qing Shan quickly walked forward and smiled: "I didn't think this place would really be humanity's inheritance ground. Palace Master Xie, did you choose this bronze mirror?"
Xie Gu Hong replied: "This is a treasure that fellow Dao seeker Lin left behind before he died"
Fellow Dao seeker Lin was the burly man.
"Fellow Dao seeker Lin died?" Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
The white-haired old man spoke with a heavy tone: "Fellow Dao seeker Lin chose this bronze mirror, but when he used it, he received backlash and died"
"Died from backlash …" Gu Qing Shan repeated.
