Chapter 101: Here again?

You only truly reach the requirements to breakthrough a realm if you can enter this state.

At this very moment, Gu Qing Shan’s spirit energy is rushing around his entire body, travelling through every acupoints before concentrating at the full moon behind his head.

“Open!” Gu Qing Shan breathed out one word.

With that word, the full moon broke into pieces, each piece disappeared into nothing as they shattered.

The intense spirit energy released from that created a storm inside the pill furnace, blowing Gu Qing Shan’s sleeves fluttering.

Suddenly, a crack opened in space.

Gu Qing Shan felt himself exiting his body, pulled into the void.

What’s going on?

He never anticipated this.

Even in the past life, despite his brush with death when breakthrough Foundation Establishment, he didn’t face this situation.

He looked down unconsciously to see his body was still sitting in the pill furnace, only his consciousness was being sucked into the void.

“How is this possible!”

White goose jumped up in surprise, and started pacing around the hall.

“What happened?” Qin Xiao Lou opened his eyes, his expression was serious.

“Because I’m here, there aren’t any Tianma, butt Gu Qing Shan’s soul vessel itself is entering the void” white goose answered worriedly.

“How is that possible, what could have happened, I’ve never heard of a situation like that before” Qin Xiao Lou muttered.

“There’s nothing we can do now, he can only rely on himself” white goose said dejectedly.

Xiuxiu thought a bit, then said: “Shifu once told me that breaking through a realm have something to do with your karma”

Qin Xiao Lou’s eyes glowed a bit, saying: “That’s right, it could be that he has some sort of good fortune so he’s being led towards it”

White goose sighed: “Hah, we spent all that time preparing, but still couldn’t protect him, we can only hope he really doesn’t run into any problems”

As Gu Qing Shan melded into the void, he was pulled a mysterious force, flying in a certain direction.

On the way, numerous strange faces appeared.

Gu Qing Shan could even see a Demon-faced Tianma.

But all the faces and monsters seems to be afraid of touching him, so as soon as they saw him get close they immediately ran as far as possible.

While flying, he felt something amiss.

This direction gives him a sense of familiarity.

Suddenly, the mysterious force became clearly stronger.

The force felt like a rushing water current, pulling him along its path, avoiding all the broken space-time along the way.

Gu Qing Shan felt his vision blurred before being pulled into a certain scenery.

A giant pillar was in front of him.

A pillar made of bronze.

A bronze pillar so big it separates heaven and earth, and neither ends can be seen.

A corpse 10-stories tall was pinned to its gigantic shaft.

The corpse was looking downward, his body covered in a full-body black armor.

On the ground under the corpse was an entire world filled with black skeletons.

The skeletons were trying their best to climb up the bronze pillar.

You could tell, they wanted that corpse.

Gu Qing Shan felt a soul-freezing chill, not understanding why he came here again.

This place was supposed to just be a strange place that he accidentally went into last time he travelled through the space-time vortex to reach Shen Wu world.

“You’re here”

A voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan’s consciousness.

“Who are you?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The voice was silent, then answered: “You had better not know that, if my name was spoken then both you and I will be discovered”

Gu Qing Shan looked again, the giant corpse was hidden inside his armor, unmoved.

This is a very weird location in space-time, no one knows how it exists, no one knows what it is, and why it is here.

It is literally a scene that can only be seen in the space-time vortex.

The voice continued: “You only need to know that I’ve seen many worlds born and destroyed, I’ve stood at a peak so high that most creatures can’t reach, even after a billion years, my name would still be known across the corners of the worlds”

“Then why are you here?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The voice went silent, then spoke with a low tone: “There are a few things that even I can’t stop, that no one can stop ——-we don’t have time, let’s not talk about that right now”

“Did you bring me here?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I did” the voice said: “You can’t blame me for that, I’ve not met a single creature for over 200 million years, do you know what that feels like?”

Gu Qing Shan asked again: “Then I’m here already, what do you want?”

The voice spoke: “You are a unique existence, otherwise you would not be able to pass into this prison cell safely”

“There really is no time so I’ll keep it short” the continued: “I want to make a deal with you, one day when you’re strong enough, come and save me”

Gu Qing Shan evaluated again, if the other party could move at all, the very first thing it would do is probably make him stay here.

Even though it could bring his soul vessel, it probably has no way to force him to do anything, that’s why it’s asking for a deal.

Gu Qing Shan purposefully asked: “Why can’t it be right now?”

The voice seems to be laughing, replied: “Because it’s too soon, right now you’re much too weak, I already didn’t have any other way that I had to put my hopes onto you”

“Then what’s in it for me?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“What do you want?” The voice answered.

“Just now, you said you’ve seen many worlds born and destroyed, then I have something that I want to know” Gu Qing Shan said.

“What is it?”

“Why” Gu Qing Shan arrange his words a bit: “Why do so many Apocalypse-level calamities happen at the same time in a single world?”

As the voice heard that, it muttered: “At the same time? This type of situation is very rare, mostly because the cost for it is too high, so demons would always do it one step at a time”

“You should know, everything has a cause and effect, it’s very possible that they’re facing some kind of trouble where they currently are”

“Demons are a type of creature that’s afraid of the strong and bullies the weak, they’ll always pick the softest fruit in the yard first”

Facing trouble where they are.

Pick the softest fruit.

These two sentences felt like lightning, blowing away the mist in Gu Qing Shan’s mind, revealing part of the truth behind the advent of the Apocalypse.

All the rapid changes in Reality quickly appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

It really could be that.

Because I appeared unexpectedly, Gong Sun Zhi and Ning Yue Xi survived, the situation with Shen Wu world became wide-spread.

Because I was accepted into Bai Hua Fairy’s sect, she herself acted, defeating the entire demon army’s frontline, killing 4 Beast Saints and unveiling the traitor amidst humanity in the process.

Because of that, humanity of this world has realized very early on that they needed to band together. To prevent themselves from becoming like Shen Wu world, they’re preparing to retaliate with their full power.

Facing such opposition, the demons turned their effort elsewhere, attempting to penetrate the relatively weaker Reality.

It’s because of that that the calamities of Reality would come so quickly, and things became dangerous so fast.

In the past life, because cultivation world had so many casualties that Reality became their reinforcement to help fend off the demons, it wasn’t until the cultivation world was destroyed that the demons started to be invaded in full force by the demons.

But in this life, because the cultivation world’s flow of events has changed, Reality instead became the main point of attack for the demons.

The fate of the two worlds has been reversed and changed just like that, it’s so ridiculous that he can’t even laugh.

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked: “Is there any way to stop the demons?”

The voice: “Of course there is, you only need to take the two worlds’ main 5-Elemental ———-“

The voice stopped

“What is it? What about the main 5-Elements?” Gu Qing Shan shouted.

But his question was answered by intense lightning raining down on the bronze pillar.

In a matter of seconds, the bronze pillar was already covered in arcs of lightning.

Boom!

Gu Qing Shan felt deeply shocked at what he saw.

This isn’t normal lightning, compared to the Lighting Trial, this is many times much stronger than it.

This is an apocalyptic level of power, no one can resist it no matter who they are.

The corpse didn’t move, and didn’t say anything else, only stayed still and endured the lightning strikes on its body.

Gu Qing Shan could see a drop of black blood dripping down the corpse’s mouth, then dissipated within seconds.

All the skeletons on the ground was struck and destroyed by the lightning, the ground became a sea of black-colored bones.

Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan felt the mysterious force surrounding his body disappeared.

Another immense pulling force appeared, as Gu Qing Shan was sucked away from this world and return immediately.

One second later, he opened his eyes and found himself back inside the pill furnace.

As he opened his mouth, Gu Qing Shan exhaled.

The breath he exhaled concentrated in the air, swirling and formed a natural rune.

When spirit energy naturally forms runes, that means you’ve successfully entered Foundation Establishment.

At the same time, an intense light appeared on the War God UI.

Large lines of text appeared on the UI one after another.

“Detected user to have broken through and became a Foundation Establishment cultivator”

“Begin attempt to awaken Thaumaturgy”

“Detected user to have completed War God Thaumaturgy Quest”

“Detected completed Quest evaluation to be S”

“Begin rolling gacha for Thaumaturgy reward”

Everything happened so quick that Gu Qing Shan didn’t even have time to think.
