This was possibly the fastest Wind Tribulation to have ended since the creation of Heaven's Tribulation.
Under the unparalleled pressure of the water, the evil creatures all disappeared without a trace.
They were directly crushed into fine powder that slowly dissipated at the bottom of the ocean.
The only person left at the bottom of the ocean was Gu Qing Shan.
The Chao Yin sword held up the seawater, allowing him to safely float on top of a dry, empty area.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the void of space.
A line of blood-red text hovered on the [Kindling] UI:
[As the evil creatures died due to the pressure of the water, you will not be able to obtain Soul Points from this battle]
After Gu Qing Shan read through it, this line of blood-red text disappeared, replaced by a new one:
[Soul Points are currently dissipating, there are no other Soul Points nearby that can be absorbed. Following the principle of not wasting Soul Points, the System has begun to collect the dissipating Soul Points as a salvage measure]
[38,279 Soul Points have been collected]
[You've obtained this amount of Soul Points]
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
Is that even possible?
He couldn't help but ask: "[Kindling], even if I didn't kill them, I can still obtain Soul Points?"
[It shouldn't be possible, but it would be a pity if the Soul Points dissipated, so it's best to collect them for our use] the [Kindling] UI replied.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and said nothing else.
An [Order] that has no order.
No, it still has its own principles.
— — -by hook or by crook.
There was no longer any wind.
The Wind Tribulation was over.
The air was filled with strange noises.
A cluster of flames appeared from the void of space and lightly landed on Gu Qing Shan's shoulder.
If you look carefully, you'll notice that the flame is almost transparent, it didn't affect Gu Qing Shan's body at all.
The flame quickly expanded, spreading towards Gu Qing Shan's entire body. But Gu Qing Shan only silently waited without moving.
This was a flame that could destroy everything. It was currently penetrating all of Gu Qing Shan's acupoints and meridians, so if she tried to move, she would most likely be burned to ashes.
A few moments later.
The flame finally enveloped Gu Qing Shan completely.
A curious reaction took place.
Endless flames spread out, forming a scene of the world in front of Gu Qing Shan.
The flames dissipated.
The world was clearly visible.
Mountains, blue skies, rivers and streams, immortals coming and going.
This was the Mahesvara realm.
Who would have thought that it was the Mahesvara realm that resonated with him!
The so-called Fire Tribulation was to lead a cultivator's soul to a certain heavenly realm.
Cultivators must return their souls to their bodies within a certain period of time.
Once the time was up, the cultivator's body would be incinerated by the Tribulation Fire.
In this way, the tribulation would fail.
The cultivator's soul would remain in that realm forever.
However, if it was the Mahesvara Realm, many cultivators would rather stay here.
Because this was a wonderful Heavenly Realm.
Even if a cultivator's body was burned away by the tribulation fire, their soul vessel would remain in the Mahesvara realm, allowing them to live for ten thousand years.
Comparatively speaking, even if one overcame the Wandering Tribulations and advanced successfully, a cultivator would still have to experience numerous tribulations and advance without end.
Rather than dying in one of the Tribulations, it would be better for their soul vessel to remain in this realm and live freely for ten thousand years.
Anyone who attempted to face their Tribulation in this place would become everyone's target.
Every soul vessel that remained here would do everything in their power to stop the cultivator from advancing.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed and prepared himself.
He took a step forward.
Instantly, his body was still surrounded by the tribulation fire, but his soul vessel had left the bottom of the sea and entered the Mahesvara realm.
The very next moment.
Gu Qing Shan found himself standing in a spacious courtyard.
The voices around him entered his ears.
Laughter, chatting, drinking, and chatting.
Cheering, singing, and voices filled the air.
A grand banquet was being held in the courtyard.
Someone loudly declared: "Ahahaha, we have a new friend here today, let us welcome him!"
Many people continued to drink and enjoy themselves.
But even more people were looking at Gu Qing Shan with smiles on their faces.
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist and smiled: "Greetings, fellow Daoists"
Someone happily declared: "You're a good one, come and have a drink!"
Gu Qing Shan really did walk over and clinked a glass of liquor with everyone.
"How should I address you, fellow Daoist?"
"This humble one's surname is Gu"
"So it's fellow Daoist Gu — — did you also come to this Divine Mountain to enjoy eternal bliss?"
"Ever since I heard of this, this humble one has been looking forward to it. The path of cultivation is a long one, rather than worrying about life and death every day, it would be better for my soul to return to this place and enjoy eternal bliss"
Gu Qing Shan raised his glass and smiled.
After saying that, he took another big gulp of wine.
"This humble one can finally bid farewell to the life of cultivation that I've been living in fear for, come, let me toast you all!" he loudly declared.
Another glass.
This pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to its climax.
Everyone around him cheered up and raised their glasses in response.
Someone praised: "Fellow Daoist's heart is truly magnanimous, perhaps one of the fairy maidens has taken a liking to you right now"
The female cultivators covered their mouths and giggled.
This young man is so handsome, and to be able to enter the Mahesvara realm at such a young age, his cultivation talent must be top-notch.
He also just came from the outside world, unlike the rest of us who have been living in a drunken stupor — — he must know a lot of interesting things.
What a good husband.
One of the female cultivators asked: "Fellow Daoist, what do you cultivate?"
It was a clear and pleasant voice.
So familiar.
But this voice was clearly a bit more restrained, not as murderous as it was before.
Gu Qing Shan looked over.
The female cultivator's face was still as beautiful as ever.
This was the natural beauty of their race.
It was said that within the Samsara, the women of their race were the most outstanding, many of them possessing beauty that could topple cities.
After the Emperor of the Heaven realm saw their beauty, he didn't hesitate to wage war in order to take away the women of their race.
It felt like it was only yesterday that they first met.
She looked at him and smiled: "I can sense a unique presence of a spell from you, sir"
Spell … huh?
It probably isn't a spell.
But then again, if I reveal my identity as a sword cultivator, a lot of people would feel uneasy.
When have sword cultivators ever been willing to live in a drunken stupor?
— — then it's a spell.
Gu Qing Shan stared at her and calmly replied: "This humble one cultivates Ice spells"
The female cultivator was surprised: "Ah, I would like to exchange blows with you, sir"
"This humble one has only just arrived, I can drink, but there's no need to exchange blows"
At this point, the other cultivators also tried to persuade the female cultivator, saying that it's not a good time to fight since it's only just arrived.
After being persuaded for a while, the female cultivator gave up.
She then said: "Ice spells are quite rare, why don't you show us a thing or two for us to observe?"
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan casually formed a hand seal.
He had all of the God of Frost and Chill's Ice spells, but since he wasn't a Divinity, the power of his spells was greatly reduced, unable to reach the level of a Paragon realm peak stage cultivator.
— — -but in front of a group of Void Beholder realm peak stage cultivators, his Ice spells still appeared to be quite profound.
A long ice bridge extended from the courtyard, passing through the courtyard and extending all the way to the sky.
This ice bridge was built on a verdant mountain that was suspended in mid-air.
"Good!"
"What a good spell!"
"Wonderful!"
The cultivators loudly cheered.
"Unfortunately, it's a bit late today, and the banquet is still going on, otherwise this humble one would like to go to that mountain for a bit" Gu Qing Shan regretfully said.
"The years are long, fellow Dao seeker Gu, you'll have plenty of chances" someone said.
"That's right"
"That's right, next time I'll go with fellow Dao seeker Gu"
Everyone smiled in agreement.
After Gu Qing Shan showed off his spells and said what he said just now, the cultivators became a bit closer to him.
The banquet continued.
Gu Qing Shan had a good tolerance for alcohol, a straightforward person, a pleasant voice, and knew how to be tactful, so he quickly got along with the cultivators.
Half the night passed.
The banquet was finally coming to an end.
At this point.
The female cultivator came forward, raised her glass, and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
"Fellow Dao seeker Gu, would you like to drink with me?" the female cultivator asked.
Everyone roared with laughter.
Quite a few male cultivators appeared envious.
"That's my wish."
Gu Qing Shan received the glass, took a sip, and smiled.
"My dojo is at Bright Clear Peak, since it's your first time here and you're not familiar with the roads, please come with me" the female cultivator said.
Gu Qing Shan bowed: "Please lead the way, fairy"
The female cultivator nodded, then leapt up into the sky.
Gu Qing Shan followed closely behind.
The other cultivators just watched as he left, but couldn't really stop him.
"It's fine, this fellow Dao seeker Gu is a good person, nothing will happen" one of the female cultivators said.
Another female cultivator also followed up: "Big sister Ya Zhi has never done anything wrong, what are you worried about?"
As soon as they said that, most of the cultivators gave up on the idea.
Only a few male cultivators still had hesitant expressions on their faces.
Another female cultivator laughed mockingly: "Do you still want to go to Bright Clear Peak?"
Saying that out loud was pointless.
No matter how much the cultivators wanted to, they couldn't just run into the two of them when they were in love and ruin their plans.
It was only then that the banquet ended.
Gu Qing Shan followed the female cultivator and landed on a mountain.
The female cultivator didn't say a single word, just led him through a mountain path, into a waterfall, then across a small bridge over a stream until the path ahead became clear. It was a palace.
"It's safe now" the female cultivator said.
The indifferent expression on her face faded away, replaced by a bright smile.
"You didn't expect this, did you?"
"I really didn't. You've been waiting for me here? How did you manage to do that? "Gu Qing Shan sighed.
"Of course I can"
The female cultivator carefully looked at him without blinking, as if wanting to carve his appearance into her mind forever.
"I left a tear on you, that is a Divine Skill unique to Asuras, one that can only be used once in a lifetime"
