Chapter 453: Released

Translated by: La0o9

Proofreader: Arya

[Discovered a sword saint technique of this world]

[Sword Array: Taiyi]

[Practice prerequisite 1: Sainted realm]

[Practice prerequisite 2: Sword saint]

[Note: To immediately comprehend this sword array, 2000 Soul Points is required]

2000 Soul Points!

Seeing the note on the War God UI, Gu Qing Shan could only smile bitterly.

At this point, he didn’t have nearly enough Soul Points to learn the sword array.

“Fine, thank you, I’ll learn this when I have the chance”

He put the jade tag away.

No matter what, being able to learn a sword array again was already quite the harvest.

Sword arrays were the true killer moves of a sword saint.

During the past life, it was due to sheer luck that Gu Qing Shan managed to learn a sword array when a Divinity came to them.

At the time, there was hardly anyone else besides him who managed to receive a sword array.

Qing Rou suggested: “Aren’t we going to get rid of the other jade tag?”

“It’s fine as long as Shannu keeps it”

Gu Qing Shan answered.

When she saw how calm and collected Gu Qing Shan was, Qing Rou sighed.

“What is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I can’t help but feel uneasy knowing that we’re keeping that”

“Are you afraid of Tian Shan Ye?”

“No, I’m afraid of this world, the mind and conduct of these people are disgusting beyond imaginable” Qing Rou explained.

“When an entire civilization respects a certain concept, that concept will eventually burrow deep into the people’s psyche, so a trend that goes against the flow of the world will find it very hard to persist”

“And so such a world should just be left to die” Wan Er mimicked Gu Qing Shan’s words from before.

“That’s right, so we have to find the time to escape as soon as possible” Gu Qing Shan said.

“But what about the heaven and earth oath you swore…”

Qing Rou looked at him worriedly.

“Ah, right, there’s still Wang Hong Dao to deal with…” Gu Qing Shan also felt a headache coming on.

Qing Rou and Wan Er were silently worried for him.

Wang Hong Dao wasn’t only a Cryptic realm cultivator, he was also careful, calculating and mercilessly cruel.

He hid his true nature for 300 years waiting for the perfect chance to kill his master Tian Shan Ye.

Even when wounded, such a person wasn’t easy to deal with.

But Gu Qing Shan wasn’t considering how to deal with Wang Hong Dao.

He was thinking about something else.

I had 1603 Soul Points and used 500 Soul Points to learn about formation, so there’s 1103 left.

Although the Spirit Shackles are complicated, they shouldn’t be as complicated as formations.

It took him so much only to just reach the intermediate level of formation for this world.

And his current level was grossly insufficient to extract the world coordinates from Qi Yan’s formation plate.

Truthfully, for both formations and the Taiyi sword array, there was no need for Gu Qing Shan to rely solely on Soul Points to learn.

With his talent and potential, he can simply spend a bit of time to learn and comprehend these things the traditional way.

But the Suspended world was under the constant threat of collapse within the next 7 days.

There was no time for that.

He needed to change this thought pattern and find another method.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the two girls.

Their shackles must be undone…

As they are stronger cultivators than myself, they will definitely be tremendously useful for the upcoming situation.

Gu Qing Shan quickly decided after some thought.

“We need to do something right now”

The three girls looked at him.

“We need to find the scripture for the Spirit Shackles lock seal”

Qing Rou and Wan Er’s eyes lit up.

Shannu flew up and started to search the row of lock seal jade tags.

Gu Qing Shan also walked to where they were.

After checking a few of them Gu Qing Shan noticed something wasn’t right.

When he looked back, Qing Rou and Wan Er were still standing stock still from shock.

Gu Qing Shan urged them: “Quickly! We don’t have much time”

The two girls finally regained their composure.

Qing Rou was squeezing Wan Er’s hand a bit tightly, Wan Er also turned to look and nodded at Qing Rou.

They quickly went to help.

A few moments later.

Wan Er exclaimed: “I found it!”

She was holding a jade tag up like it was the most precious thing in the world.

Qing Rou took the jade tag and infused her inner sight into it.

“It’s no good, this technique is very strict, a person bound by the Spirit Shackles can’t possibly unlock it by themselves” she said

Wan Er took the jade tag back and seriously studied it as well.

“Not only is the method complicated and requires a lot of intricacy, it needs to be done on the first try, otherwise the Spirit Shackles will automatically enter a sealed state that cannot be unlocked for three years” Wan Er shook her head as well.

Qing Rou sighed: “Studying this alone will take a lot of time, to completely master and use it will take even longer”

Gu Qing Shan received the jade tag and checked it.

——that’s not too bad, since I’ve already learnt the art of formation and lock seals are basically a branch within it, it’ll only take me 100 Soul Points to learn this.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes briefly.

He returned the jade tag onto the shelf.

“We can copy this jade tag first——” Wan Er couldn’t even finish her sentence.

While forming the hand seal in one hand, Gu Qing Shan used the other to grab and pull the Spirit Shackles on her body down with some force.

The Spirit Shackles that had imprisoned Wan Er all this time were simply taken off and thrown to the ground.

Wan Er was stunned.

As she looked back, although there was still some blood and bruises where the shackles held onto her body, the shackles themselves were gone.

She was finally free.

Wan Er slowly raised her hand and whispered: “Warden Sealing Technique, Pursuit”

Boom!

Immense spirit energy escaped from her hand, forming a blue flame that rose all the way to the roof.

Within the blue flame, a majestic gate could be seen faintly.

This spell was Wan Er’s specialty, back in her world only those at Tribulation realm and above could use it.

Her cultivation had returned!

Feeling spirit energy flowing through her body once more, Wan Er let out a high-pitched scream.

“Ahhh!!!!!!!”

While she was screaming, tears started flowing down her face like a broken dam without restraints.

Shannu was a bit worried, asking: “Gongzi, should I…”

“No need, she had endured so much, just leave her be for a while” Gu Qing Shan said.

While saying so, he went in front of Qing Rou.

Qing Rou was biting her lip, so anxious her body was trembling.

“That unsealing technique just now must’ve used up a lot of your spirit energy, do you want to rest first?” she asked.

“Why?”

“The Spirit Shackles must be undone in one try, otherwise it’ll go into a sealed state, I’m afraid that…”

“Alright, I’ll rest up for 1 hour first” Gu Qing Shan looked at her and said.

Qing Rou’s anticipation faded from her face, muttering with a sense of loss: “Yeah, you should, I’ll just wait for a bit more”

Before she even finished speaking, Gu Qing Shan had already grabbed the Spirit Shackles on her body and pulled them down.

Clank clank!

It clattered on the ground.

Qing Rou was stunned.

She looked down at the deep bruises and impressions they had left on her body.

Tears streamed down her face, following her chin as they dripped to the ground.

“They became undone…”

Losing the restraints that held her for so long, her voice itself sounded like a long and deep sigh of relief.

Her powerful spirit energy waves were fluctuating nonstop, just like her current emotions.

As one of the strongest cultivators of her world, she had to endure such humiliation for so long, so long that she had fallen into the abyss of despair without knowing.

She didn’t think there would be a day where the light of day would return to her.

“Big sis!”

Wan Er jumped forward and hugged her tightly.

“Wan Er, free, we!”

Unable to even form her words properly, Qing Rou was also hugging Wan Er tightly.

They were both crying their hearts out.

“Hah… let’s leave them for a while first, we’re going to pick out some more formation jade tags” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Yes, gongzi” Shannu was smiling just a bit as she answered him.

She went with Gu Qing Shan.

After they chose enough formation jade tags, they started to choose other kinds.

Since this was basically Wang Hong Dao’s personal stash, they all upheld a certain standard.

The only regretful thing is that Wang Hong Dao didn’t have too many sword techniques.

While choosing, Gu Qing Shan was still thinking about the problem of not having enough Soul Points.
