The top of the bronze pillar, really really far above the sky.
Large arcs of light were appearing one after the other.
The arcs of light seem to be sentient, slowly moving outside the sky itself, wandering in place without any intention to leave.
From the looks of it, they seem to be peeking into the world below.
“What are they?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The corpse sighed deeply, speaking: “Why did they come here, I’ll have to borrow some power to chase away these detestable corpse eaters”
“There’s not much time left, my power isn’t enough to keep you remaining here for too long”
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly: “Then please answer the question, how can I stop the demons from corrupting the world?”
“Of course, you need to collect all the core essence of the 5 main Elements of a world, refine it into a String of Law and bring it to the second world”
“This string will pull and guide its original world ——-“ historical
Immense and violent arcs of lightning began to manifest on the bronze pillar.
The corpse’s voice stopped.
Gu Qing Shan loudly asked: “It will guide the world, then what?”
The lightning began to descend!
An extremely violent and devastating lightning of destruction, enough to make even Gu Qing Shan’s soul shake in fear.
In just a few moments, the bronze pillar was completely covered by the lightning.
The skeletons on the ground were also struck, shocked to dust as the entire ground became a sea of black skeleton dust.
The corpse was covered completely by the lightning without even the littlest bit of a gap.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis is not normal lightning, in fact, it already can’t be considered lightning anymore.
This is a power that can destroy anything and everything, manifesting as lightning.
The drifting light above the sky seems to be scared, scattering away.
They didn’t stop to look back, just quickly escaped without any trace.
Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth, still insisting on asking further while shouting: “What happens to the world? Tell me!”
Finally, a voice of agony echoed in his ears.
“Will be… absorbed… by the second world…”
The corpse’s voice was intermittent, but it kept enduring and spoke: “The second… world’s… beings… will… become stronger…”
Boom!
Now, the entire sky was filled with flashes of lightning, an even more intense pillar of lightning struck the bronze pillar again.
The corpse wearing jet black armor coughed up blood.
There was no other sounds or voices in the world except the sound of thunder.
At the same time, an invisible force started to act on Gu Qing Shan’s body.
He understood, he’ll have to leave right away.
“Thank you for this!”
Gu Qing Shan shouted at the corpse: “I know you’ve done all you can, one day I’ll definitely come save you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the invisible force became stronger, shooting Gu Qing Shan off this world.
The force this time was much stronger and more merciless than when he was pulled here.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Gu Qing Shan has jetted across the space-time vortex to make it back to Shen Wu world.
In the few moments before he entered the world, he could see a blurry shadow looming over the world.
“What is that?”
Gu Qing Shan wanted to take a closer look, but there was no more time.
He was sent straight into Shen Wu world, then all the way through the ground.
One moment later, Gu Qing Shan suddenly opened his eyes and found himself still sitting cross-legged in the lava tunnel.
He stood up and patted the dirt off his body.
His sleeves were fluttering without any wind as the excess spirit energy naturally emits from his body, capable of influencing the air around himself.
Gu Qing Shan slightly jumped as his body softly hovered in the air.
His Golden Core is formed.
He has officially escaped from the shackles of the Earth, capable of flying through the clouds and above the sky.
Silently feeling around himself, Gu Qing Shan found his spirit energy was almost erupting from all the pores on his body, with every move he makes, he can easily attack with overwhelming power.
“Such strength… I think the power of my sword phantoms would increase by at least two fold”
Gu Qing Shan smiled, extremely pleased with this breakthrough.
——this is Shifu’s own scripture that she used all those years ago, so cultivating and breaking through with this method will bring about strength unlike normal scriptures.
After he finished observing and checking himself, he clasped his fist at the Earth Sword and said: “Thank you for protecting me”
「 There’s no need, in all our previous battles, you’ve proven to me that you’re a sword cultivator qualified to become my master 」the Earth Sword’s voice echoed of a heavy mountain.
The Earth Sword then flew at him.
Gu Qing Shan grabbed the sword.
The Earth Sword let out a light ‘ong ong’ sound as it sighed and spoke: 「 Ling er is about to die, but you haven’t grown enough yet, I can’t just sit by and watch all this happens 」
「 With the great calamity approaching, I will unleash my sealed power and fight with you 」
As soon as it finished speaking, the War God UI popped up a few notifications.
[Special story scenario has been triggered, user’s attention please]
[Special story scenario has been triggered, user’s attention please]
[Special story scenario has been triggered, user’s attention please]
After three notifications, a line of eye-catching large letters appeared.
[The Earth Sword has fully awakened]
[Note: Through your battles, you’ve gained the approval of the Earth Sword, as it has decided to fight with you with all it has]
[The Earth Sword, weighs 86370 thousand tons, carrying the Sword Spirit Thaumaturgy: I am heavy]
[This sword is a Divine armament from the Age of Old, once used as a ceremonial sword, it is able to contact the Divinity]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[The System can feel the sky is falling and the world is about to collapse, but now that Earth Sword has suddenly awoken, its attitude will influence everything in an unknown way]
After Gu Qing Shan read through the notifications, they disappeared.
After that, a flash cut across the War God UI, forming blood-red letters at the center.
[Detected user to have triggered a special story scenario]
[Current conditions fit the Quest trigger requirements]
[Initiating Destiny Quest]
A Destiny Quest!
Wasn’t the Destiny Quest already triggered?
Gu Qing Shan quickly looked down.
[Destiny Quest: Decisive Battle (2) – fixed]
[Breaking the chains of fate, changing the flow of the world, user Gu Qing Shan has triggered the Destiny Quest]
[Quest description: As the fate of the world and the people intertwine, within the brewing storm, you’ve been accepted by the Earth Sword, changing details within the flow of destiny]
[Quest objective: In the near future, make sure that Shen Wu world will at least stay intact]
[As the Earth Sword has joined in the battle, you will receive a new Quest reward]
[Quest reward 2: Sealed capsule (one-time use)]
[Sealed capsule: The System has sealed something that belonged to you in the past life in the form of a capsule. When you need it, the System will return it to you (Attention, this is a consumable item, you must use it as soon as you open it, otherwise it will disappear completely)]
[As this is an exceptionally dangerous battle, to ensure that the user does not die prematurely, Quest reward 1: War God Title, Quest reward 2: Sealed capsule has been granted early]
[If the Quest fails, Quest reward 1 and 2 will be rescinded, the user will not be able to increase their cultivation for 3 years]
Gu Qing Shan was really shaken from what he saw.
Now that he’s gained the Earth Sword’s approval, the War God UI doesn’t want him to find the truth of the world anymore, but rather want him to keep Shen Wu world intact.
A Quest that’s already given suddenly changed, this has never happened before.
Not even in the past life.
And this is all due to the Earth Sword.
From what the System says, this sword is actually a Divine armament.
Even as a Sword Saint in the past life, he has never even touched such a powerful weapon before.
