Chapter 794: Obstruction

Hearing this voice’s words, Gu Qing Shan immediately thought of the sleeping Water God.

Since she can’t control this world anymore, the world has activated this automatic defense mechanism?

Gu Qing Shan felt a bit of a headache.

He asked: “What if I’m not human?”

[You can enter if you simply prove your human identity]

“Can Desolate monsters and the Divine race enter?”

[You can enter if you simply prove your human identity]

“…Fine”

Gu Qing Shan stepped onto the arena and stood still.

An invisible wave swept through his body.

[Welcome, Elemental Water, Ice Caster cultivator. Your identity as a human has been verified, I will now answer your question]

[If you were not human, you will be ejected by a spatial Law, unable to enter this System’s world]

[You may now enter this world]

Hoh——-

An immense force acted on him.

Gu Qing Shan felt like he was being squeezed into the void of space.

…

Intense blowing wind.

A vast but sorrowful world.

Spirit energy filled the air.

Nature lived and prospered within this wonderful environment.

Not a single person could be seen in this vast landscape.

Only a large towering Daoist temple stood at a distance, connecting heaven and earth.

Gu Qing Shan hovered in the blue sky, observing the Daoist temple.

A faint barrier of white light stopped him here and made it so that he couldn’t enter this world yet.

The voice appeared again: [Please travel to the Daoist temple to look for the Bygone Era cultivation methods and treasure vault]

Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly.

Xie Gu Hong once compiled all of his swordsmanship knowledge into a mega-size jade tag and passed it down to me.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to even cultivate recently.

If I haven’t even grasped this swordsmanship, how am I going to comprehend the Bygone Era spells and techniques?

However, if nothing goes wrong, I can bring some weapons or cultivation scriptures back with me and gradually study them.

He suddenly sensed something and looked down at the path leading up the mountain.

A cultivator was there.

He was the burly man that came here together with Xie Gu Hong.

Still wearing nothing on top, he stood there with his staff in hand, apparently waiting for something.

The screen in front of him disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan appeared.

The burly man immediately noticed Gu Qing Shan.

“Sect master Zhao”

The burly man clasped his fist to greet him.

Gu Qing Shan recalled the man’s name and also clasped his fist: “Fellow Dao seeker Lin, what are you doing here?”

The burly man told him apologetically: “I’m waiting for you”

“Waiting for me?”

“Indeed, after you entered the other world, I immediately received the orders. The Lord said that if you appear in this place, I need to obstruct and kill you”

Gu Qing Shan went silent, then chuckled: “You and I are both Void Revolution realm cultivators, what gives you the confidence that you can kill me?”

The burly man propped his staff on his shoulder and replied: “Humans are feeble and weak, killing you isn’t very hard”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Humans… you are also human, why are you speaking like that?”

He didn’t intend to waste time, so he wielded his Blade and attacked with several dozen cold slashes.

The burly man suddenly dropped his staff and smirked: “Sect master Zhao, you do not know the wonders that come with being Eternal, let me show you right now”

A dull purple glow suddenly appeared from his body to form an enclosed halo.

The burly man spread his arms wide and allowed the cold slashes to attack him directly.

In just a few moments, his entire body was reduced to a fog of blood.

Gu Qing Shan was shocked.

He didn’t try to block it at all?

He pulled the frost Blade back.

But the drifting fog of blood didn’t fade away and simply moved around a bit in the air before turning back into the burly man.

He reappeared in front of Gu Qing Shan, completely intact.

“What are you?” Gu Qing Shan scowled and asked.

The burly man crossed his arms and casually smirked: “Just like you, I’m a human with flesh and blood. But I was reinforced with the power of Eternal”

“Sect master Zhao, your sect was already destroyed, so I pity you. How about you join us and also obtain this immortal body”

Gu Qing Shan was incredibly shaken.

As soon as he saw the purple glow from the burly man’s body, he realized what was going on.

This man called Lin had already surrendered himself to the terrifying True God from the Eternal Abyss——- the Soul Shrieker.

When Gu Qing Shan brought Barry and Kitty back to his home-world, he already saw this purple glow once.

——-those people from God Institute!

They killed the Protector of the 9 Lords.

Luckily, Barry and Kitty happened to travel to his home-world as guests on that occasion, and the two parties met.

Kitty easily restrained them.

But this purple glow appeared on their bodies at the time as well.

From what Kitty said, even after those people were killed, their souls wouldn’t be destroyed and would return to a certain location to be resurrected.

But this burly man seems to be a lot more impressive than those people, he instantly resurrected after death.

If that’s the case…

I wouldn’t be able to kill him and be stuck here.

If I tried to use the power of Divinity, the world itself might discover it and throw me out.

How troublesome.

“Sect master Zhao, you won’t defeat me, so I suggest you listen to what benefits we can give you before you decide” the burly man crossed his arms and spoke.

Gu Qing Shan shouted in disbelief: “What immortal body, I refuse to believe it! I wasn’t using my full power just now!”

He wielded the frost Blade and attacked with countless layers of heavy cold slashes.

The burly man shook his head: “It’s useless no matter what kind of attacks you use—— very well, let me show you one more time”

Once again, he didn’t bother to block and face the cold slashes head-on.

——-this was an all-out attack of a Void Revolution realm Ice caster, yet the burly man didn’t even bother to block.

He was directly turned into a fog of blood again.

Now!

Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed as countless sword images manifested in his eyes.

Title Skill, [True Soul Severing Eyes]!

For a split moment, the fog of blood disappeared from this world.

The [True Soul Severing Eyes] could create a temporary world from nothing, the fog of blood would then be pulled inside that world to face another all-out from Gu Qing Shan.

At the same time, Gu Qing Shan activated his Divine Skill——— [Ground Shrink]!

[Ground Shrink] could directly teleport him to any location within his inner sight.

As a Void Beholder realm cultivator, his inner sight easily covered half of this world.

In an instant, his body disappeared.

Time continued to flow.

The fog of blood once again manifested, gathered together, and reformed into the burly man.

He appeared a bit surprised and praised: “I never knew sect master Zhao had such a rare Eye-bound Thaumaturgy that could form a world of its own. Unfortunately, it still can’t kill me”

Zhao Wu Zong sighed: “So you really can’t die”

The burly man asked: “Sect master Zhao, do you still want to fight?”

Zhao Wu Zong fell silent.

He sent his voice over a thousand miles away: “Gongzi, what should I do now?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Since he’s stalling for time, then you don’t need to fight either. Just talk to him and see if you can find out more information”

“…Gongzi… I don’t really know how to chat with strangers”

“What’s so hard about it? You know all my tricks, just use them”

“I understand, then what about gongzi?” Shannu asked.

“I need to check the Daoist temple to see what exactly happened to Xie Gu Hong” Gu Qing Shan told her.

“Yes, gongzi”

Taking Gu Qing Shan’s orders, Shannu looked at the burly man and hesitantly asked: “What do I need to do to obtain that power you have?”

The burly man was a bit surprised and joyfully asked: “So you’ve thought it through, sect master Zhao?”

“Wait a minute, I still don’t understand what happened with you—–”

Zhao Wu Zong appeared a bit puzzled.

The burly man happily continued: “Wait just a minute, I will ask the great True God to see if they are willing to accept you as their devout believer”

He formed a hand seal with both hands and began muttering to himself.

Zhao Wu Zong silently stood there without attacking.

A few moments later.

The burly man’s eyebrows raised just a bit.

——–originally, I only mentioned this to stall for time.

But the situation was a lot different from what I expected.

This Zhao guy seems to be a bit hesitant, but his eyes showed a very clear desire and craving.

Did he really get persuaded already?

Zhao Wu Zong is a considerable VIP in the cultivation world, and the True God felt him to be dangerous enough to order me to stop him———

If I were able to get someone like this to surrender to the True God, wouldn’t that be a great contribution?

If that’s the case…

The burly man swept his unnecessary thoughts aside and entered a meditative state to seek out the Eternal True God’s will.

A few moments later.

The burly man smiled: “Congratulations, you have obtained the True God’s favor”

Zhao Wu Zong asked: “True God? You mean the Divinities are also here?”

“No, you don’t understand, the bunch that took over the Sky Beyond Heaven aren’t actually Gods” the burly man explained.

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“Let me slowly explain to you”

“Wait!” Zhao Wu Zong stopped him.

“What? You want to change your mind?” the burly man’s expression turned angry.

“That’s not it”

Zhao Wu Zong took out a formation plate and arranged a soundproof formation around the two of them.

With this formation, no cultivator from the outside would be able to tell what was being discussed inside the formation.

——naturally, the cultivators inside wouldn’t be able to extend their inner sight outwards either.

Zhao Wu Zong spoke with a serious expression: “If this is a confidential matter, being careful is a must. We can’t allow anyone or anything to listen in on us”

The burly man faintly sensed the soundproof formation and chuckled: “Sect master Zhao, you’re too careful”

…

On another side.

A few thousand miles away.

A fish that was swimming inside a pond silently transformed into a waterbird and took flight.

After a few moments, the waterbird disappeared.

Another Zhao Wu Zong appeared and began to head for the large Daoist temple at full speed.
