Chapter 377: Divine power
Gu Qing Shan looked at the line of text on the War God UI in surprise.
Through his two lives, this was the first time he’s ever heard of a technique named ‘Mystery’
The War God UI was also explaining this special ‘Mystery’ in the most detailed way possible.
The System has never treated any other techniques with such seriousness before.
[Mystery of All Creatures Equal: You learn the most basic composition of any creature, giving yourself the ability to transform into that creature]
[Note: You have to collect a part of the creature, learn its specific composition and laws before being able to disguise as that creature]
[Attention!]
[Attention!]
[Unique message from the War God System: There are two choices to learn this Mystery]
[First: Using spirit energy as the basis of this Mystery, the user will be able to mimic the creature’s appearance, presence and spirit energy waves. The same kind of creature will not be able to distinguish you from the real one]
[Second: Using Soul Points as the basis of this Mystery, the user will in essence become the same creature as that creature]
[Note: A chosen creature must have a soul]
[Note: You must make the decision immediately to determine the source of power for practicing the Mystery]
[Note: Once you’ve chosen the source of power, you will be permanently unable to change it]
Reading through everything, Gu Qing Shan went silent for a bit.
Realistically, a disguise fueled by spirit energy should be enough.
But Gu Qing Shan was thinking much further and broader down the road.
He asked: “System, what do you mean by ‘in essence’? Does that mean I will actually become that creature?”
[Correct, you will temporarily become that creature] the System responded quickly.
Then uncharacteristically, it explained further: [This Mystery is only known to very few existences, but even those existences only know to use their core energy that are the same as spirit energy to practice this Mystery]
[Soul Points are Divine power, the purest form of energy that comes from every world’s origin]
[No one in the countless worlds know that the correct way to practice this Mystery is by using Soul Points]
[The System suggests that you use Soul Points to practice this Mystery]
Gu Qing Shan nodded, this was also his choice after much contemplation.
“I choose to use Soul Points as the source of power” he said.
The System responded: [This Mystery is precious secret hidden deep in the laws that make up the world, to comprehend this Mystery, please spend 2000 Soul Points]
So expensive!
Gu Qing Shan inhaled deeply and gritted his teeth: “I’ll pay it”
[Received 2000 Soul Points, remaining Soul Points: 2100/300]
[Currently comprehending the Mystery with Soul Points]
The glowing cryptic rune suddenly broke into small sprites of light.
These sprites circled around Gu Qing Shan before finally going into his forehead.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and silently felt it.
This technique, the Mystery, is one that encompasses the origin laws of countless worlds. Just by silently feeling it, Gu Qing Shan’s vision was greatly opened.
This is a great gain of knowledge that was born from a fundamental breakthrough of his cognition and perception.
Gu Qing Shan now has a profound understanding of cultivation and usage of power as a whole.
He now deeply understands the law of operation, not for just spirit energy, but all types of power.
The cycle of life and death as well as all living things were also engraved in his mind.
Gu Qing Shan had a realization.
His soul form had reached Ascended realm late stage without him knowing.
He is fully confident in being able to break through to Ascended realm late stage as soon as he returns to his body.
And this was by simply feeling the Mystery!
Even Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
While he was silently feeling the Mystery, the giant corpse was also giving him advice.
“As a cultivator, you can use spirit energy to practice this technique, allowing you to disguise yourself, this will greatly improve your chance of survival in Huang Quan”
Gu Qing Shan noticed that the giant corpse doesn’t know that he has Soul Points, and that he already used Soul Points to practice the Mystery.
“Thank you, I know this must be a very valuable thing, I’ll remember this favor”
He solemnly clasped his fist and bowed.
“No need to thank me, I still need to rely on you becoming stronger to rescue me from here” the giant corpse laughed.
It then added: “The power I stocked up is about to run out so I won’t be able to maintain your stay here, you’ll be ejected soon”
“One last question, I can’t find the Huang Quan realm that corresponds to my world, what do I do now?” Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked.
The giant corpse responded: “No matter how chaotic Huang Quan becomes, it won’t thoroughly lose its connection with the human realm, there should be a guiding force that leads you there”
Gu Qing Shan spoke: “But the force has disappeared”
The giant corpse replied: “In the human realm, this connection might be temporarily covered by a special mean, but within the space vortex, the power of the Six Paths definitely can’t be hidden away, so you only need to carefully feel the connection at the entrance to the space vortex”
“Specifically, you will be able to feel a miniscule connection while in the space vortex, follow that connection to the entrance to Huang Quan, you’ll see a huge dark tunnel that leads downward”
“Make sure to go down only that tunnel and nowhere else ——–because if you go into any of the other paths around Huang Quan, you’ll be permanently unable to return”
Gu Qing Shan carefully remembered its words.
He nodded and spoke seriously: “Then I’ll be leaving, if I don’t die, one day I’ll definitely come save you”
The giant corpse abruptly spoke up: “You have to get stronger a bit faster, I can feel some sort of terrifying monster, this monster is even scarier than any other I’ve ever met before, and it’s coming to this world that imprisons me”
Gu Qing Shan froze.
This was the first time that he heard desperation in the giant corpse’s voice.
Up until now, it’s done so much to help me.
But now it is in danger.
Gu Qing Shan became serious.
He hurriedly asked: “How much stronger do I need to get to be able to deal with the monster you speak of?”
“——-or how much is enough for me to save you?”
The giant corpse sighed: “I’m not sure, because I haven’t seen that monster yet”
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
“Don’t worry, I’ll quickly become stronger and come to save you soon” he spoke with conviction.
The corpse didn’t say anything, but Gu Qing Shan could feel that it smiled.
“Let’s hope we can meet again” the corpse left those final words.
Hoh!
An immense pulling force came.
Gu Qing Shan was ejected from the world of the 100,000 year-old giant corpse.
Like a shooting star, he was jetting back where he came.
It was even faster than when he came.
The strange sights on the way where zipping away so fast they appeared as warped images.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Gu Qing Shan had returned to the space vortex where he was before.
After thinking for a bit, Gu Qing Shan formed a hand seal.
A crack was opened in space.
He went in and returned to the living room of the mountaintop mansion.
Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li were sitting on his left and right.
They were diligently watching over him.
Gu Qing Shan went into his body from the top of his head.
He opened his eyes.
The two immediately noticed.
Gu Qing Shan spoke: “Keep vigilance for me”
Without explaining any further, he went into deep meditation.
After comprehending [Mystery of All Creatures Equal], his understanding of cultivation, of the sword and of the world in general has changed completely.
This was a sublimation of his perception, and through that alone, he already couldn’t hold back his advancement of Ascended realm middle stage to late stage.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and circulated the spirit energy in his body to carefully stabilize his cultivation.
As he had only just broken through to Ascended late stage, his spirit energy waves were fluctuating nonstop, extremely unstable.
Gu Qing Shan has to be careful to let his body get used to the sudden jump in power.
Once he’s finished settling his cultivation and has made the appropriate preparations, he’ll be able to face a Tribulation and break through to a higher realm.
Sainted realm.
The unreachable dream of countless players in his past life.
Time slowly passed, and Gu Qing Shan finally opened his eyes.
“What is it, are you ok?”
“What is Huang Quan like?”
Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li asked at the same time.
“Something unexpected happened, I haven’t gone to Huang Quan yet”
Gu Qing Shan took out a spirit replenishment pill and chewed.
His hands formed the seals for the two Secret Arts again.
The seals were formed.
“I’m leaving for real this time” he said.
Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li exchanged looks and nodded.
Gu Qing Shan stood up from his body, flying into the crack in space.
