Bai Hua hall.
Bai Hua Fairy was carefully explaining to Gu Qing Shan.
“Qing Shan, I originally didn’t want to tell you about this, but I know that for a sword cultivator, their swords are their everything. Instead of allowing you to wander the outside world aimlessly and fail, falling into dejection while losing the Earth sword in the process, I would rather tell you the truth instead”“The Earth sword has accompanied me for a very long time, and you’re my direct disciple, so I hope that both of you could be safe”
Hearing these familiar words, Gu Qing Shan felt his emotions welling up in his chest.
If time had stopped here forever, who could’ve known that there would be so many despairing events in the near future.
He spoke with conviction: “Shifu, I want try and repair the Earth sword now”
“Your cultivation is still too low, you wouldn’t be able to live in the Primordial Heaven Realm” Bai Hua Fairy shook her head.
“Shifu, you’ve forgotten that I’m actually a Returnee” Gu Qing Shan said.
This was the excuse he came up with to persuade her.Bai Hua Fairy was briefly stunned.
She looked at him with a doubtful expression: “But I saw your expression earlier, you didn’t seem to know what a Returnee was?”
“That’s not it, I was surprised that Shifu already knew about Returnees” Gu Qing Shan explained.
“Then tell me, what is a Returnee?” Xie Dao Ling tried asking him.
Gu Qing Shan recalled the words Chen Wang told him in the Profession Committee and answered: “Those who reincarnation themselves from the worlds of the Old Gods in order to help the billions of worlds being caught in the apocalypse and destructions, these people are called Returnee”
Xie Dao Ling shook her head: “You’re not wrong, but your cultivation is still too low, even if you are a Returnee, it’s not yet the time for you to go to the Primordial Heaven Realm”
“Qing Shan, what you should do now is to improve your cultivation, and the best way to do that is to risk yourself in the Strife Zones”
At this point, Gu Qing Shan felt his vision darken.
He opened his eyes.
He suddenly found himself still standing within the tidal wave of darkness.
“What happened just now?” he asked doubtfully.
The dark figure of light answered: 「 You couldn’t change what happened in that time node, instead, affecting something that would have already happened, causing the flow of time to become turbulent, so you were erased by the Law of Time 」
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly: “What would have happened next is that Shifu insist that I travel to the Strife Zones”
The dark figure of light spoke: 「 Correct, once your master is determined to send you to the Strife Zones, everything that happened later would still happen one by one, leading up to this moment. Before that, try everything you can to make something that never happened occurs, that way you won’t be erased by the Law of Time 」
「 By the way, you have 797 tries left 」
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and spoke: “Got it, send me back again”
「 Alright 」
Oom.
The tidal wave of darkness swallowed him up again.
Within the boundless tidal wave of darkness, he once again travelled through time.
Bai Hua hall.
“Qing Shan, I originally didn’t want to tell you about this”
Bai Hua Fairy’s voice came once again.
Gu Qing Shan cut Bai Hua Fairy off and spoke: “Shifu, I have a secret that I must tell you”
“What kind of secret?” Bai Hua Fairy asked.
“In truth, I’m not only just a Returnee, I’m also someone who came back from the future” Gu Qing Shan told her.
Bai Hua Fairy glanced at him from top to bottom and asked: “You’re from the future?”
“Yes” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Then why are you still so weak?” Bai Hua Fairy asked doubtfully.
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
After some thought, Bai Hua Fairy says: “Qing Shan, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but no matter what happens, strength is always the basis of all things. I’ve decided to send you to the Strife Zones to first increase your cultivation”
Gu Qing Shan died.
He opened his eyes.
He suddenly found himself still standing within the tidal wave of darkness.
「 796 tries left. I seem to recall you telling me that you only needed 2 tries? 」the dark figure of light asked.
“Do you really have to mention that? Don’t you have anything better to do?” Gu Qing Shan asked in annoyance.
「 Being sealed like this, there’s never anything to do except sleeping 」the dark figure of light sighed.
Gu Qing Shan recalled Little Dusk.
He tapped his Devil King Warden Rod and took out a bunch of cooked dishes.
“Learn how to eat then, you’ll need it later when you get out” Gu Qing Shan told it.
The dark figure of light seemed a bit intrigued: 「 That sounds like a crucial survival skill, the people outside are always eating at least once a day 」
Gu Qing Shan recalled how it destroyed the town when it escaped the seal and tried convincing it: “Yeah, also, don’t eat people anymore, they carry all sorts of diseases and impurities, not to mention humans aren’t very delicious, you can try what I do and eat normal food instead”
The dark figure of light stayed silent briefly before nodding: 「 If I can get out, I would naturally be willing to start a completely new life 」
It then turned into Gu Qing Shan’s appearance and sat down in front of the food, thinking about what to eat first.
“Send me back first, you can slowly choose what to eat, no one is going to steal from you” Gu Qing Shan told it.
「 Alright 」
The tidal wave of darkness swallowed him up again.
Bai Hua hall.
“Shifu, I feel that I’m still too weak, so first I should increase my cultivation” Gu Qing Shan said right away.
Bai Hua Fairy agreed: “Hm, strength is the basis of everything, I plan——”
Gu Qing Shan cut her off: “Shifu, I’ve decided to steel myself in the Strife Zones, but before that, please tell me the way to travel to the Primordial Heaven Realm, that way, when I become strong enough I can head to the Primordial Heaven Realm any time I want”
Bai Hua Fairy briefly thought about that: “That is true, after entering the Strife Zones, you will have to stay there for a long time. Forcing you to return to Shen Wu world specifically for this isn’t beneficial to anyone”
She took something out.
It was a 4-directional formation plate made out of bronze.
On each of the four corners of the formation, effigies of the Kirin, the Vermillion Bird, the Spirit Tortoise and the Golden Dragon were carved.
Bai Hua Fairy explained: “You need two things to enter the Primordial Heaven Realm. The first is our sect’s Primordial Heaven Realm warp formation, the second is the Heavenly Palace protective jade disk”
“The first will allow you to travel to that world, while the second will protect your life”
“But the Heavenly Palace protective jade disk has already used up all of its power and crumbled”
“So all I have now is the Primordial Heaven Realm warp formation plate”
“I hereby bestow it to you”
Saying so, Xie Dao Ling lightly tapped the formation plate with her finger.
The Primordial Heaven Realm warp formation plate hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan received it.
The formation plate felt heavy and cold to the touch, filled with indescribable vicissitudes.
This was a formation plate from the Age of Old, engraved with complicated and mysterious runes, even after staring at it for a while, Gu Qing Shan found himself unable to understand it.
He then realized that the formation depicted on the plate was so advanced that his current understanding of formation arts wasn’t enough to decipher them.
Sure enough, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[Item name: Primordial Heaven Realm warp formation plate]
[Grade: Unique item, no grading]
[Doomsday Chronicles: This item has never appeared within known history]
[War God Skills: This item consists of the Primordial Heaven Realm warp formation. To comprehend the structure of this formation, 800,000 Soul Points is required]
[Note: Improving your understanding of formation arts will reduce the Soul Points necessary to comprehend this formation]
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
800,000 Soul Points. This huge amount is already almost enough to upgrade [War God Skills].
So for now, studying formation arts wasn’t his top priority.
Fortunately, now that I have the formation plate, I’ll be able to travel to the Primordial Heaven Realm to find the Heaven Sword.
Gu Qing Shan put the formation plate away and sincerely said: “Shifu, thank you for bestowing me this”
“There is no need to be so formal between us student and teacher” Xie Dao Ling smiled.
Gu Qing Shan also smiled, still feeling grateful.
Shifu is still the same as always, treating her disciples as family.
Xie Dao Ling continued: “Qing Shan, this time I will personally send you to the Strife Zones, that way you will be able to join the novice qualification test and obtain the help of the [Life Order]”
As soon as he heard that, Gu Qing Shan felt his vision darken.
He opened his eyes again.
He suddenly found himself still standing within the tidal wave of darkness.
He looked towards the dark figure of light.
It had already turned into his appearance, currently holding a chicken drumstick in its hand with its mouth open wide, seemingly about to bite and find out what it tastes like.
Their eyes met.
“…” Gu Qing Shan.
“…” the other Gu Qing Shan.
