TN: Iâm sorry to say this but there will be no chapters tomorrow as I will be away for the whole day. Most of todayâs chapters are about twice as long as normal chapters so you can think of today as a double release instead.
Seeing Bai Hua Fairy about to snap, Xuanyuan Tianzun stopped talking.
âIâm only worried about your disciple, no need to get so angryâ he tried to laugh it off.
The Great Monk of Sorrow had already closed his eyes, clapping his hand and chanted Buddha.
After so many years, they understood Xie Dao Ling very well.
Normally, Xie Dao Ling acts very nicely and isnât that hard to convince.
But once her temperament acts up, you definitely cannot take another step, otherwise sheâll personally teach you why flowers are so red.
Since her attitude is clear now, even if theyâre a bit doubtful, they can only temporarily hold it down for now.
âMen, summon the three Ding Yuan Generalsâ Xie Dao Ling ordered.
...
Gu Qing Shan took the Tianma vase and the jade tag, returning to his own tent.
The first thing he did was to use 200 Soul Points to learn the soul reading technique.
This is a very advanced spell; the minimal learning requirement is Rejuvenation realm.
After learning it, he placed the Tianma vase on the table and silently thought about it.
That world has a Virtualized realm cultivator as well as two other Projection realm cultivators.
And the Zishan young master also has a father.
Long ago, Lu Xian of Shen Wu world was already a Virtualized realm cultivator. He used his own power to break through the world barrier and arrived at that other world.
Such a powerful person as Lu Xian was still murdered by the Zishan young masterâs father.
His belongings were taken by the Zishan young master as his own.
This lead to the people of Shen Wu world summoning the Zishan young master instead of Lu Xian.
Then, what realm would the Zishan young masterâs father be?
The cultivation world right now has nothing but Bai Hua Fairy as its only Projection realm cultivator.
Such a vast difference practically guarantees the cultivation world to be the losing side.
Will Xuanyuan Tianzun and the Great Monk of Sorrow manage to survive the Projection realm Tribulation?
From what the Wild Raging Flame Armor said, hardly 1 out of 10 Sainted realm cultivators will manage to breakthrough to Projection realm.
Thereâs a great difference between both Xuanyuan Tianzun and the Great Monk of Sorrow to Shifu.
Even if they have accumulated much over the years, whether they manage to successfully face the Tribulation or not is still questionable.
Even if they all manage to become Projection realm cultivators, how will they face a Virtualized realm cultivator or one even above Virtualized realm?
Gu Qing Shan sighed deeply.
He carefully recalled all the intelligence heâs gathered this far, then remembered something.
Gu Qing Shan raised the Earth Sword, asking: âEarth Sword senior, youâve been through many years, so you definitely know a lot. I have a question I want to ask youâ
ă Feel free to ask ăthe Earth Sword spoke in its heavy voice.
Gu Qing Shan spoke: âIf thereâs a world where no cultivators have ever met a Tianma... is that abnormal?â
The Earth Sword answered: ă From what I know, Tianma arenât omnipotent and omniscient, even they canât show up to each and every world ă
ă Furthermore, there are some worlds that have really powerful guardians, enough that the Tianma doesnât dare go there ă
âThen these are two very different situationsâ Gu Qing Shan nodded: âNow we have to confirm which situation the enemy is inâ
âIf the Tianma has never arrived in their worldâ Gu Qing Shan spoke: âThen would that mean breaking through is a very easy thing for them to do?â
ă Thatâs correct, all they need to be careful of is the Lightning Tribulation ă the Earth Sword replied.
Gu Qing Shan muttered: âThereâs one more problem, how did they arrive at Shen Wu world? And is it easy for them to do so?â
The Earth Sword answered: âAs far as I know, travelling from one world to another is not an easy thing to doâ
Gu Qing Shan frowned: âThen I have to confirm this for sure, but thereâs not much time left, at most 2 days later, a Virtualized realm cultivator will comeâ
âJust how...â
Gu Qing Shan fell into contemplation, sitting as still as a statue, not saying a single world.
Time quickly passed, about one hour later.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly stood up.
He quickly left his tent and went directly to the military intelligence tent, asked for the situation of the battle from before as well as the location of the enemy camp found by the scouts.
After memorizing the location, he left the intelligence tent.
After a bit of hesitation, Gu Qing Shan decided not to let Ning Yue Xi and Leng Tian Xing know.
He wasnât even sure about this, if he asks someone else to come with, itâll be hard to escape when if a situation arises.
If he goes alone, whether if itâs leaving or staying, he can be as shameless as he likes without any worry.
Gu Qing Shan let out his airship and flew away.
About two hours later.
The airship landed near a mountain area.
Gu Qing Shan appeared.
He was being very careful, already stowed the airship away and landed when thereâs still a couple hundred miles left until the scouted camp.
After walking for some distance, Gu Qing Shan arrived near the top of a mountain.
The enemy camp was right on the mountain just a bit further away, but still within his sight.
Gu Qing Shan hid himself inside a thick bush of grass.
Activating the Super Presence Concealment technique, his presence disappeared.
This place is far enough away from the enemyâs camp that he can easily escape if something wrong happens.
He stayed absolutely still for the next few hours.
Night fell.
Suddenly, two figures descended from the mountain top.
One of them followed the other, quickly heading down the mountain.
âPeh, why do we have to do this kind of hard workâ one of them angrily protested.
âDonât speak so loud, theyâll hear youâ the other spoke.
âWeâve already offended them, what else is there to be afraid of!â the first person was still shouting angrily, but also looked around cautiously.
âSenior brother, investigating the enemyâs intelligence is also necessary you knowâ the other person followed behind him, trying to calm him down.
âNecessary? Necessary my ass! Once young master arrives here, every single sorry motherfucker here is as good as dead, what investigation?â
He was angrily stomping, but then suddenly said: âHowever, that Projection realm woman, she really does steal your breath away at first sightâ
âWasnât she wearing a veil?â the other was curious.
âWhen she was fighting against our Venerable, there was a moment where her veil was lifted, just enough for me to see her faceâ
âHow was she?â
âHer beauty makes one itching to try, Iâve lived for over 600 years and Iâve never seen such an alluring woman before!â
He started to click his tongue: âWhen young master captures her, Iâll bet you anything young master would be reluctant to kill her, instead taking her as a personal maidâ
âDoesnât young master already have two stunning maids?â
âYou think young master will mind there being too many? Not to mention, this woman doesnât pale at all in beauty compared to the other twoâ
âThatâs trueâ
While talking, they passed by the bush of grass
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.
He very lightly stabbed the Chao Yin Sword into the mud behind himself.
His sight was set on the other two.
Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
The person walking behind immediately disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan appeared where he was standing.
The Earth Sword gleamed.
The person in front didnât even manage to realize what was happening before he became a headless body and fell down.
In the bush, the person walking behind was still confused ââ-he was just walking, why did his senior in front of him suddenly disappeared while he was standing among a bunch of grass?
He released his inner sight, managing to catch the moment Gu Qing Shan swung his sword, then realized.
âOh no, enemy attack!â
He took out a talisman and was about to trigger it.
Gu Qing Shan once again disappeared, shifting his place with Chao Yin Sword inside the bush.
In the next moment, Gu Qing Shan has returned to the bush, standing behind the second person.
His sword turned into an afterimage
The talisman was instantly slashed in two.
On the path of retracting his sword, the hilt knocked at the personâs neck.
He instantly went limp.
Gu Qing Shan put his sword away.
Without so much as a sword art, he only needed to use [Shadow Shift] twice to achieve the results he wanted.
But Gu Qing Shan frowned, still a bit unsatisfied.
His spirit energy was being consumed too quickly, just using [Shadow Shift] twice took 30% of his spirit energy.
Itâs still better to use [Ground Shrink] since that costs less.
Heâll have to breakthrough to a higher realm before he can use [Shadow Shift] more in battle.
Grabbing the personâs head, he made a hand seal in the other hand.
Soul reading technique.
A few moments later, he lightly squeezed his neck.
The person died in his sleep.
These two were dispatched alone to investigate, so they were clearly minor characters being isolated.
Theyâve only just left, so even if they donât return for a short while, no one would notice.
Gu Qing Shan then carelessly buried their corpses in the grass.
