Chapter 936: Inner Plane Cards

Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9

A wooden sail ship was moving forward through the space vortex.

As the ship itself wasn’t too big, and it was made entirely from a branch of the Bramble Saint Tree, the ship had a powerful camouflage ability. Even if it ran into any monsters in the space vortex, they would only think of it as a drifting branch being swept along by the wind.

Lin had pulled Laura down below the deck of the ship to talk with her, leaving Gu Qing Shan alone on the deck.

There were a total of 36 Cards on the ground in front of him.

As soon as she heard Gu Qing Shan needed Cards, Laura took out her personal collection for Gu Qing Shan to choose as he liked.

After the battle against the [Demon King Order], even Lord Bloodcloak was shocked by a single Card in the Bramble Bird royal vault that was chosen as his reward.

And so, one could only imagine the value of these 36 Cards that Laura had specifically kept for her personal collection that she gave Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan randomly picked one of them up.

This Card depicted a shifty gnome with a large bag on his back.

A line of text appeared below the Card.

[Unique Card: The Gnome of Wealth] 1

[Description: Unleashing this Card at night will surely bring you unimaginable wealth overnight]

[Special note: After obtaining this Card, you need to make sure to maintain a righteous and just outer appearance, as well as the ability to provide an alibi at a moment’s notice]

Gu Qing Shan picked up this Card and looked at the void of space in front of his eyes.

Lines of glowing text were floating there.

[Please create your own world through the method taught by Little Dusk]

[Reminder: As you already have a temporary eye technique world, if you use it as a basis for fusing Cards and create a new world, the difficulty of creating a new world would greatly decrease while the created world would be a lot more powerful]

Reading this reminder, Gu Qing Shan asked: “If I fuse them that way, what form would my created Card world exist in?”

The War God System replied: [It will exist as part of your Iris Sword technique, furthermore, thank you for 20 Soul Points]

Gu Qing Shan understood it a bit better.

The Fairy of Time also informed him the same thing regarding his Iris Sword technique and Cards.

So this was most likely the best way.

Gu Qing Shan put the [Gnome of Wealth] Card down and looked at the other Cards here.

——–36 Cards, all of which were Unique Cards.

It is probably unprecedented to be this luxurious to create a single world.

But there’s an important prerequisite.

Since I’m creating a world to face my Tribulation, I will need to use a Card that came from the Inner Plane.

If I couldn’t find any, I would have to look for items that contain the Law of the Inner Plane and seal them into a Card.

Gu Qing Shan glanced through the 36 Cards and continued this train of thought.

Fortunately, since Laura took care of this for me, this problem is already solved.

I don’t need to think too much about that and just consider the final issue.

——what kind of world do I need?

For fighting, fully dedicating myself to swordsmanship is more than enough.

I also have powerful supportive means in the form of my Lightning Thaumaturgy and the two movements techniques.

The Iris Sword was actually a form of experiment I tried out before reaching the Great Attainment stage of Sword Saint and gained the ability to control 1200 flying swords.

——an experiment to converge all my power into one sword.

But before I was able to go too deep with this experiment, I’ve already created a Thaumaturgy in the form of the Iris Sword.

Gu Qing Shan had a feeling that his swordsmanship cultivation would require a longer period of training in order to reach the next level.

Then, what kind of world do I need now?

Besides helping me pass my Measure Tribulation, this world will need to be usable in later combat as well.

Gu Qing Shan contemplated this for a long while.

He sat there and completely lost himself in his thoughts, not realizing even after Laura and Lin had come out.

When Laura was about to call out to him, Lin pulled her back.

Lin shook her head towards Laura and brought her back down below deck.

“He’s currently immersed in a miraculous state of comprehension. Most likely he had just come up with a general idea for his advancement, so we shouldn’t break him out of it right now” Lin explained.

“Ah, so that’s what’s going on. I was just about to suggest going to an auction house to pick out a few more things for big bro” Laura muttered.

Hearing her, Lin couldn’t help but put a hand on her forehead and asked: “You still need to buy things at an auction house?”

Laura replied with a serious expression: “Big sis, you don’t understand, I usually like to collect rare and unusual treasures, but haven’t really paid any attention to cultivator’s items before, so I don’t have anything that big bro can use—–”

At this point, she paused and furrowed her eyebrows.

“Ah… I think I ordered Ilya to do something along the same line, but I can’t quite remember…”

As she muttered, Laura took an emerald green leaf out and put it in the air.

The leaf turned into a hologram that showed Ilya’s appearance.

From the looks of it, she seemed to be busy with something in the royal palace.

“Your Majesty, is there something you need from me?” Ilya asked in surprise.

Laura hesitantly asked: “Ah, it’s just that, I seem to remember telling you something about cultivators’ treasures and items—– did I ever say that?”

Ilya swiftly replied: “You certainly did, when we returned from the Aboul resort, you mentioned to me to collect a few cultivation-type treasures”

Laura patted her chest and said in relief: “Then I didn’t misremember—— how much did you manage to collect?”

“Your Majesty, last time we went over the Bramble Bird Kingdom’s 9,745 treasure vault worlds, you even took a look at them yourself, did you already forget?” Ilya asked.

Laura became a bit flushed and forcefully changed the subject: “There were so many worlds, how could I have looked through every single one of them. Ilya, just tell me”

“Very well, let me check…”

Ilya took out a thick book and flipped through it.

“Found it. Your Majesty, according to our records, every world from #8564 to #8691 is full of cultivation-type treasures and items” she reported.

“Ok, I got it. Make the preparations, we’ll go pick some out when we return”

“Understood, you can be assured, Your Majesty”

Laura nodded and took the leaf back.

She turned around and happily looked at Lin, telling her: “Big sis, thank god that you reminded me, otherwise, I would’ve actually taken you on a trip to the auction house, that would have been a real waste of time”

Lin: “…”

While they were talking, Gu Qing Shan was still sitting on the deck of the ship, muttering to himself while thinking about what kind of Card world he should create.

“Swordsmanship, both illusory and real”

“Eye technique, create a world”

“Cards, combine them both, creating a world of both illusion and reality”

He suddenly picked up a certain Card.

The Card depicted a 9-headed lizard that was made entirely from frost.

[Unique Card: 9-headed Mones, the ancient Envoy of Frost]

[Description: Using this Card will summon the ancient world-destroying monster, the 9-headed Envoy of Frost from the world of Permafrost to fight for you]

[Note: This ancient monster had existed since eons ago, never once made friends with any creatures or living beings. Only once has it offered this summoning Card in order to repay someone else for their favor]

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the Card.

Frost and ice were the other forms of Elemental Water, so according to Little Dusk, it could be used to create a World.

He then drew three more Cards.

[Unique Card: The Grand Lord of Flame]

[Unique Card: The Elemental Prince of Wind]

[Unique Card: Guardian of the Great Deep Forest Mountain Range]

——these four Unique summoning Cards make up the four Elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.

Gu Qing Shan’s hands turned into blurred images as he swiftly placed the four Cards together.

Almost immediately the Cards in Gu Qing Shan’s hands began to give off a miraculous resonance.

The earliest form of his World was about to be created.

At this point, the Grand Lord of Flames abruptly roared: 「 Who is it, who has the courage to use our power to create a world!? 」

All four legendary entities on the Unique Cards noticed and turned to look at Gu Qing Shan.

『 May the wind tell me of this one’s background 』the Elemental Prince of Wind whispered.

It then lightly pointed at Gu Qing Shan from the Card.

Various complicated runes then appeared around Gu Qing Shan to form an Azure border.

Azure Card: [Sword cultivator Gu Qing Shan]!

Gu Qing Shan had directly manifested himself as a Card!

The four entities spoke at once: 「『「『 So it is the origin of all Cards, the Envoy with the power to condemn the sin of all living beings! 」』」』

They turned away and returned to silence.

Hoh——-

The four Cards vanished, turning into four clusters of shining light that lightly floated in the air.

The first step of creating the world had been completed!

Gu Qing Shan wasn’t at all affected by what just happened and picked up another Card from the ground.

[Unique Card: Eye of Reality]

[Description: This is a Law Card that can turn an illusion into reality, the ultimate alchemical Card of legend, background unknown]

[Unique Card: The Weave’s Embrace]

[Description: The strongest spatial conversion Card. With a certain catalyst, you may bring the target into a certain world. This Card is rumored to have originated from a place that living beings from the Outer Plane could never reach]

[Unique Card: Observer of Illusion]

[Description: Through using this Card, you can enter any illusory space of choice to observe and feel the events that happened inside, no one in history has been able to create a second copy of this Card]

[Unique Card: Mind Creation]

[Description: By activating this Card, you can create an illusory world with a completed set of Laws]

[Unique Card: Illusory Dream]

[Description: This is a Law Card that can turn reality into an illusion, background unknown]

Indeed, among the 36 Cards, Gu Qing Shan had specifically chosen only the ones whose backgrounds were unknown.

——–the reason why they were so unique and powerful with a background that could not be traced was most likely because they came from the Inner Plane.

In other words, these Cards were the ones that Gu Qing Shan truly wanted to find!
