Chapter 1260 - Exchanging information

The child stared at Gu Qing Shan’s fist for a while, then tried probing: “After the Samsara shattered, all of our powers cannot be exerted to their utmost; you should also not be able to utilize this power of yours, meaning it has no real value”

Gu Qing Shan admitted: “You’re right, I can’t exert this power”

He then leaned forward, staring straight into the other party’s eyes: “Whether or not to search for the secret behind this power with me, that’s your own decision to make. If you aren’t interested in such a thing, then never mind”

——-the power of Null Tribulation.

This was a power that managed to shatter the Samsara.

Where did it come from? Can it be controlled for a long time?

These are both secrets at the deepest depths of the Samsara.

What kind of Deific Authority did the War Shaman obtain to be able to mobilize such power?

No one would be able to arbitrarily brush it off and leave in front of such a matter!

“Go ahead!”

Gu Qing Shan raised his hand, expressing that the other party was free to leave.

The child took a deep breath, then coldly scoffed: “You’re trying to look into the secret of the Samsara’s shattering with only yourself, what impudence”

While saying that, he continued sitting still without moving.

Gu Qing Shan appeared to be pondering for a while, then finally spoke up: “Two of my men had already entered the True Samsara Tomb”

The child’s expression immediately changed, then abruptly looked up: “That’s impossible! There are countless Apocalypses within the Tomb River, no one would be able to traverse the entire Tomb River alive and reach the True Tomb!”

Gu Qing Shan casually said: “You can choose not to believe me, I don’t care. But I want you to know that only after we’ve formed a proper cooperation would I tell you more detailed information”

—–this was also a crucial bargaining chip.

While everyone was still competing against one another, the War Shaman’s subordinates had already entered the True Samsara Tomb.

The child stood up and started pacing around the room.

At this point, they were the only two existences within this room, everyone else had already been forbidden from approaching this place.

It was so silent that the only thing that could be heard were the child’s footsteps.

He was pondering.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan remained completely silent without mentioning a word.

Time itself became extremely elongated.

Suddenly, the child turned to Gu Qing Shan and asked: “Shaman, why have you constantly kept up your Samsara derivative power? Keeping yourself prepared to fight me?”

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

I spent almost 200 million Soul Points in order to kill that Shaman.

This person in front of me is an entity of the same level, one that has been awoken for much longer than I can imagine, he’s not someone I can simply match in strength.

Only by cladding myself with Samsara derivative power would I be able to prevent them from sensing the depths of my power.

But that’s naturally not something I can tell them.

“I’m not keeping myself prepared to fight you, I simply want to stay cautious” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Cautious?” the child wanted to mock him, only to hear him continue:

“I can sense it, the matter this time is one of extreme danger. No one can guarantee that they’d be able to survive, so I must constantly maintain my combative state at all time”

The child’s smile gradually faded.

How could an entity of his caliber not know the severity of their current situation?

Without hesitating much longer, the child stopped pacing around.

“Shaman, what exactly do you want?” he finally asked.

This was him signaling that he was willing to cooperate.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression remained unchanged, seemingly falling into thought.

Using his meagre strength, he stopped the enemy’s encirclement from ambushing, lured the other party into a negotiation table, then drove the conversation to one of cooperation, Gu Qing Shan was already doing everything he could.

But it was at this time that he needed to be even more cautious.

Thinking back to when he met his two other selves during the [Night Cruiser] state, Gu Qing Shan recalled the words of one of his ‘other self’:

...

——to be able to obtain this kind of information, one or more of the Shaman’s subordinates must truly have entered the Tomb River.——to be able to obtain this kind of information, one or more of the Shaman’s subordinates must truly have entered the Tomb River....

Gu Qing Shan paused a bit before answering: “How about we first exchange information?”

“Very well” the child agreed.

Exchanging information was something beneficial for both sides, and both sides could take that chance to probe the other party’s actual depths.

“Then I’ll go first” Gu Qing Shan pondered a bit, then said: “In the Tomb River, towards the direction of the Huang Quan burial grounds, there is an Apocalypse from outside the Reality Gate”

The child asked: “What is it like?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “It does not exist within Space-Time, manifesting as a skull with a long cheek. Any entity seen by it would find the Laws of Space and Time separating from their bodies. Living beings would find themselves existing in eternal emptiness unless they die”

The child nodded: “A tough Apocalypse from outside the Reality Gate, very good, I shall accept this information”

Gu Qing Shan turned to the child.

The child cleared his throat, then said: “At the depths of the Tomb River, the True Samsara Tomb is hidden among the six burial grounds of the Heaven, Human, Asura, Wraith, Beast King, and Huang Quan realms. but I don’t know for sure which one it is hiding in”

Gu Qing Shan was also pleased with his piece of information, so he continued:

“In the Tomb River, time is chaotic, and so is space. For that reason, those who traverse the Tomb River would run into the remains of many void monsters. They have no way of leaving, nor could they enter any of the Samsara burial grounds, so they continue to avoid the Apocalypses as much as possible while attempting to make sure that all who travel the Tomb River would end up in a horrible state”

The child looked at him in surprise.

——to be able to obtain this kind of information, one or more of the Shaman’s subordinates must truly have entered the Tomb River.

That can’t be right!

He stood up straight, walked right in front of Gu Qing Shan and observed him closely.

“All of us know, even though we have escaped the great tomb through the substitution method, none of us could enter the tomb again, otherwise the Apocalypses that imprisoned us would immediately sense our souls, then manifest themselves from the various locations of the great tomb to try and take back our souls”

“Then—– my question is, War Shaman, how did you send anyone inside?”

Gu Qing Shan answered without a thought: “Naturally, I used people who had yet to enter the great tomb”

The child’s voice raised high: “That’s impossible! The entire Tomb of Myriad Beasts is under our surveillance, no one could have entered the great tomb without our knowledge!”

He started exuding killing intent.

“If you keep on being that high-strung, I won’t bother to cooperate with you any longer, as that would just implicate me”

Gu Qing Shan acted like he didn’t care about it and simply continued: “My subordinates came from a parallel world, original inhabitants of other Samsara fragments”

———these were referring to the other two ‘Gu Qing Shan’.

And they had indeed entered the great tomb.

This was the truth.

The child couldn’t imagine such an answer, so he was stunned.

Gu Qing Shan: “Your vision is too narrow, always limited to a single Tomb of Myriad Beasts”

The child’s presence from earlier became scattered, followed by a sigh: “Shaman, your plotting and vision truly goes further than I can imagine. You have my admiration”

Gu Qing Shan pointed back at the seat behind the child, asking:

“Then, shall our exchange of information continue?”

“Naturally”

The child sat down again, thought for a bit, then said: “Periodically, the Wraith’s corpse would travel back into the depths of the Tomb River following the flow of the lava, then travel back outside. I suspect that the path it travels does not contain the terrifying Apocalypse like you had described, a relatively safe path, we have prepared to—–”

“Let’s not talk about that Wraith for now, I want to know the extent to which you’ve researched the True Samsara Tomb——- this time, you’re up first” Gu Qing Shan cut him off, then asked another question.

The child hesitated, then recalled how he was impulsive enough to almost attack, which was highly unbecoming.

Very unusually, he decided to compromise.

“Very well, then I’ll tell you. In truth, among the six tombs of inheritance, five of them are fake, only one of them was real. The real tomb contained a Samsara Delimitation Artifact...”

“A Samsara Delimitation Artifact? Which one?” Gu Qing Shan pursued the question.

“It was a sword...”
