Chapter 1395: Unfamiliar

Flying through space.

The vision of the teleportation area had disappeared for a while, and Gu Qing Shan was still flying through the dark void of space.

Multitudes of talisman runes filled the space around him to form a cylindrical tunnel that gave off immense irresistible power.

As Gu Qing Shan carefully examined the talismans around him, he was silently surprised.

Even his inner sight could not fully reach the end of the tunnel passage.

——-he couldn’t even begin to imagine how many Life Talismans the wraiths have placed around this place, let alone to cover the entire Wraith realm.

The five Life Talismans around him were continuously resonating with the tunnel, using that to produce the power that was propelling Gu Qing Shan forward.

Gu Qing Shan was silently feeling a sense of confusion.

So many Life Talismans…

As soon as one of them is touched, it would awaken the power of every Life Talisman in this place, which would immediately erase any entities inside.

Yet the entire tunnel was able to resonate with the warp talismans to create this warping spatial power.

There were no living beings here.

If this tunnel didn’t exist, Gu Qing Shan would have felt himself being completely isolated as he silently moved forward through an ocean towards an unknown abyss.

No direction, no destination, nothing to use as a point of reference.

After a while.

The five Life Talismans around him shut down.

—–these warp talismans were supposed to take him to a place to be punished, but Gu Qing Shan had managed to alter them to change directions and took him all the way here.

Without the power of the talismans, Gu Qing Shan gradually slowed down until he stopped completely.

This place was still inside the tunnel with nothing ahead and nothing behind him.

Gu Qing Shan hovered in place for a bit, then gradually felt the fluctuation of Life Talismans approaching him.

From his spirit sense, a sense of urgency descended on Gu Qing Shan.

As if someone was pursuing him.

——it’s definitely not a good idea to continue waiting like this.

Gu Qing Shan silently thought as he went through the structure of the five warp talismans from before in his head several times.

He then rapidly drew a warp talisman with his finger in mid-air.

The runes flickered and manifested as a burning flare.

Success!

300 Soul Points was deducted on the War God UI.

300 Soul Points for a talisman, this literally was nothing to Gu Qing Shan.

The talisman fluctuations behind him were growing increasingly stronger.

Gu Qing Shan continued drawing several more warp talismans without hesitation.

As the fifth warp Life Talisman was drawn, all of them automatically turned into a swirling ring of fire around Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan’s body slowly began moving forward, once again supported by the spatial power of the talismans.

He quickly moved along the tunnel.

Just like that, for the next few moments, Gu Qing Shan continued to use the power of the warp talismans to fly deeper into the tunnel.

Whenever the Life Talismans lose power and drop, he would simply draw new ones to replace them.

After an unknown amount of time, the Life Talisman fluctuation behind him disappeared.

The sense of urgency in Gu Qing Shan’s mind also faded.

Strange, why aren’t they giving chase?

This place is the Wraith realm, it should be completely under their control, so why did they give up on pursuit?

Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.

At this point, he saw something eerie.

The tunnel in front of him was cut off.

A grand mountain appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s vision with a large head mounted on top of it.

The head slowly closed its eyes and exhaled through its nose, producing a mass of white mist.

Just as Gu Qing Shan wanted to take a closer look, the warp talismans quickly pushed him through.

On the other side of the mist was another dark tunnel, but many of the talismans that made up this tunnel had already become rotten and crumbled, no longer giving off any light that a talisman should.

From the looks of it, this talisman tunnel was in a state of abandonment.

Gu Qing Shan hesitated.

Should I continue moving forward?

He looked down a bit at the black thread in his hand.

Only to see that the other end of the thread continued to reach deeper into the abandoned tunnel, still nowhere in sight.

A wondrous sensation naturally appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

“Not far, what I want to find… is right ahead…”

Gu Qing Shan muttered, clenched his teeth, then continued to fly deeper into the tunnel.

From this point onwards, the talisman tunnel became completely different from before, occasionally displaying inexplicable illusions.

An abandoned train station suddenly appeared in his vision.

The tracks were completely rusted with a destroyed train engine and grass that had overgrown the entire area.

In the empty train station, a dark figure could also be seen standing there while looking around.

Gu Qing Shan’s pupils dilated, muttering to himself: “Strange, why does it feel so familiar…”

The illusion flashed.

Gu Qing Shan continued flying forward, seeing more abandoned Technology-type structures on the way.

At first, they were mundane things like wooden bridges, horse carriages, small buildings, then eventually things like steam cars, cement structures, clocks, planes, and even a giant mecha could be seen.

All of them were completely broken without fail.

By the time a tattered spaceship appeared in his vision, the tunnel around him had completely become dim.

All the Life Talismans here had lost their light, no longer giving off any fluctuations.

The flare around Gu Qing Shan’s body had also just faded away.

No longer supported by the teleportation talismans, he once again hovered in mid-air.

Gu Qing Shan was about to draw talismans again, but then noticed that the black thread was no longer reaching forward, it now coiled around his hand before lightly pointing downwards.

“Below…”

Gu Qing Shan looked down.

But before he could discern anything, he suddenly felt a huge suction force pulling him downwards.

He directly vanished from his position.

…

Night had enveloped the world.

Outside of a bustling huge city, a figure slowly climbed out from the city moat.

Gu Qing Shan.

He stood on the bank of the moat and casually used a hand seal to dry off the water on his body before turning to the huge city.

There was no issue with calling this a huge city, since Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight that could easily envelope certain small worlds aren’t able to even reach either sides of the city’s border.

The city was filled to the brim with spirit energy, some people would occasionally take flight above the clouds.

——as he looked up, he could see beautiful palaces and structures hovering in the air, continuously stacked up until they reached the depths of space.

Gu Qing Shan took a short look before noticing that none of the people here was wearing wraith masks.

…strange, this place is clearly the Wraith realm, so why aren’t there any wraiths here?

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to examine more carefully.

Wherever his inner sight passed through, several people would become cautious and even reacted angrily, but they quickly smiled, turned towards Gu Qing Shan’s direction and greeted him:

“So it was a Star River Saint”

“Venerable Saint, accept this humble one’s bow”

“Greetings, venerable Saint”

…

Everyone swiftly followed Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight to greet him.

Gu Qing Shan instantly pulled his inner sight away.

In a Cultivation-type world, arbitrarily using one’s inner sight to investigate others is certainly rude behavior.

It had been so long since he went to a Cultivation-type world that he had temporarily forgotten this tacit rule.

When he first arrived at Void City, when he used his inner sight to examine the city, he was instantly noticed by a cultivator and even got berated for it.

Right now, the fact that these people are able to immediately recognize my cultivation realm means that they’re all used to this level of inner sight and that this wasn’t an unusual occurrence.

That’s one detail I can’t gloss over.

Gu Qing Shan formed a hand seal to use Qin Xiao Lou’s improved Presence Concealment technique, then slowly disappeared into the shadow.

Noticing the Star River Saint’s inner sight disappearing, the people in the huge city slowly relaxed and went back to their own businesses.

Gu Qing Shan waited for a few more moments until the city had regained its calm before he appeared from another direction.

At this point, he had gotten far away from the moat, currently walking in the wilderness.

There was a man lying in the grass here.

A sharp dagger had pierced through the man’s body, his blood slowly dripping out.

Gu Qing Shan looked down and saw that the black thread on his hand was coiled around the man’s body.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression became strange.

He could guarantee that he had never seen this man before, but the Fate Talent is telling him that there was a connection between him and this man.

That made things even more confusing.

Maybe, the thing I’m looking for is on this person’s body?

He walked forward, about to examine him more carefully.

Suddenly, a transparent figure appeared from the man’s body and observed him: “Who are you?”

Gu Qing Shan was surprised, but before he could even reply, the other party had hurriedly said: “I know, you must be the Black and White Impermanence, I beg you, please take me away”

“I… why should I take you away? And I’m not the Black and White Impermanence” Gu Qing Shan replied.

It was the transparent man’s turn to be shocked.

He confusedly asked: “The Black and White Impermanence didn’t arrive, you… who exactly are you?”
