If the two people hadn’t been sent here on a mission to investigate, no one would really pass by this place at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Releasing his inner sight to scan the area, he confirmed it was exactly how he left it, no one came by here at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stabbing the Earth Sword on the ground, Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a bottle of Spirit Replenishing pills, taking two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat down cross-legged, slowly using the method he comprehended to breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mystical spirit energy wave began to emit from his body, channeling a link to heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the signature wavelength of those breaking through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 What are you doing? 」 the Earth Sword couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m facing a Tribulation” Gu Qing Shan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Ascended realm Tribulation? Right here!? 」 no matter how composed the Earth Sword’s temperament was, it still couldn’t believe what it was hearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, seems that way”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Did you fall into demonic possession during your cultivation? 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Sword circled around Gu Qing Shan, confirming that there indeed were no problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It then began to speak with its echoing voice: 「 Ascension realm Tribulation takes around 1 whole day and night, the longest Tribulation of any realm, and considering how close we are to the enemy camp ——-are you really sure you want to breakthrough here? 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not really facing the Tribulation; I just have some business with a special ‘friend’” Gu Qing Shan explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Sword couldn’t understand at all, but it didn’t ask anymore and just silently observed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan re-immersed himself in a breakthrough state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, his spirit energy began to let out the mystical wavelength again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heaven and earth of Shen Wu world itself was forming a link with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not too long later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An imp appeared from the void of darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This imp’s head was full of eyes, aside from eyes, all it had was a terrifyingly large jaw of teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling a cultivator breaking through, the hundred-eyed imp came running to see if it managed to get something good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 What alluring, delectable flesh 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stared at Gu Qing Shan, drooling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Sword flew up by itself and swung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hundred-eyed imp screamed in agony, then disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, a huge beast with a human face appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Sword flew up and killed it in one slash again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the time being, no more monsters appeared from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan suddenly said: “Don’t kill them too fast, it’s not good to scare them away”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 What exactly are you trying to do? 」 the Earth Sword asked in an echoing voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Making some friends” Gu Qing Shan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Sword couldn’t help but circle around him again, then spoke: 「 Strange, you’re clearly not under demonic possession, why are your antics so weird today 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Sword began to feel around him, then asked: 「 You’re only channeling the state of breaking through, but not actually circulating spirit energy to breakthrough? 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Why? 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To lure them out”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 To lure them ——–out? 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, it’s troublesome to explain it right now, you’ll understand when you see it” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, his eyes lit up and clapped: “Finally”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the void, a wild-looking beautiful Tianma female descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her thin shirt was half-open, revealing her thin waistline as she shook it and softly hovered to Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Ahahaha, what a handsome young man, you’re about to breakthrough to Ascended realm, what a pleasant surprise 』 the Tianma smiled brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m very happy to see you, my name is Gu Qing Shan, can I ask for yours?” Gu Qing Shan very politely spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 It’s no fun to face the Tribulation, come and play with big sister instead, big sister has so much she could teach you 』the Tianma smiled, waving her sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin, transparent pink mist began to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mist was enveloping Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianma smiled happily, slowly approaching Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stood still without doing anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, the Tianma softly whispered: 『 Don’t worry, it won’t hurt, it’ll be fine very soon 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second before she acted, the Earth Sword gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianma screeched, hurrying to hide into the void again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Sword moved quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave her alive!” Gu Qing Shan shouted lowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Sword stopped, silently sitting right on the Tianma’s shoulder at her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan puffed out in relief, then spoke to the Tianma: “Don’t worry, I just want to be friends, let us talk for a bit and then you can go”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianma opened her eyes wide, thinking she might’ve heard that wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Did you just say you wanted to be friends with me? 』 she completely forgot about the pain and just asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Do you know who I am? 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianma’s eyes rolled, then decided not to mind the sword right on her neck and sat down next to Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then moved closer towards Gu Qing Shan’s chest and softly spoke: 『 Young man, perhaps you fancy me? 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan smiled, but his tone of voice was cold: “If you keep that up, even I will want to kill you”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his killing intent, the Tianma didn’t dare to move close to him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianma retracted her look of allure and looked down at her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just grew both of them back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hands that were on the ground just now had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 What do you want exactly? 』 the Tianma looked at the weird person sitting before her and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you have a leader, probably a Formed Tianma Saint Lord or someone of that nature, can you help me have a little talk with her?” Gu Qing Shan spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianma looked at him, thinking she must’ve heard him wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout her long life, she had traveled to countless worlds, saw countless strange things and events, but the thing happening right now exceeds of all that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 You want to willingly meet the Lord? 』the Tianma asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, I’ll have to trouble you to be a messenger” Gu Qing Shan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Is your thing here sick or something? 』 the Tianma pointed at her head and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m quite healthy. I very sincerely want to meet your master once” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the ranks of Tianma, low-leveled Tianma are considered as high-leveled Tianma’s personal belongings, in other words, they don’t have personal rights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, low-leveled Tianma call high-leveled Tianma their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Why do you want to meet her? 』 the Tianma glanced down at the sword at her neck and added: 『 I can tell you right now, if I did tell her that, she’ll think that I’m trying to make a fool out of her 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instinctively shivered, then continued: 『 She will definitely torture me for a few hundred years before killing me off completely 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out the Tianma’s vase, holding it in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint sound of female singing could be heard from inside the Tianma’s vase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The singing was faint, unclear, seemingly close but also very far. If you pay close attention and try to listen to it, you could even fall into a charmed state and forget yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This thing here, will probably let you not be killed” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the Tianma saw the vase, her eyes couldn’t escape from it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 This is the Tianma’s Pond of Vitality, that’s right, I definitely did not misjudge it 』she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianma suddenly stood up and said: 『 I’ll go meet master and tell her your request 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 But with master’s overwhelming power, it will be very hard for her to descend on this world, she won’t necessarily come here herself 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 She might instead send one of her aides 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s fine as well, please” Gu Qing Shan gestured for the Earth Sword to move let her go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianma flew into the air, then suddenly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she left, the Earth Sword shouted in its echoing voice: 「 You want to cooperate with the Tianma to deal with the Virtualized realm cultivator? 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not entirely, mostly just asking a tiger to skin itself” Gu Qing Shan replied. (1)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Sword spoke: 「 Do you not feel that the Tianma is a different species while cultivators, no matter what, are still fellow humans? 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Different species or not, that doesn’t matter” Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice, “no matter who it is, if they want to take a bite of the two worlds, even if they’re the son of heaven itself, I’ll make sure they break all their teeth”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not too long later, the void of darkness began to shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianma from before appeared first with a nervous expression: 『 She comes 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve troubled you” Gu Qing Shan then stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft glow of light flashed in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of female singing began to resonate from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it’s no longer the faint, blurry singing from before, but a loud and clear audible singing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the tone and rhythm of the song sounded different, definitely not a human language and seems to be the Tianma’s language instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the song continued for a short while, 12 blurry bulbs of flowers appeared from the space void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bulbs bloomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>12 stunningly beautiful Tianma were standing inside the flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the ones singing with their soft voices, elegantly descending from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>11 of the Tianma went one by one before Gu Qing Shan, all curtsied to greet him, then stood solemnly on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first Tianma from before bowed down, very respectfully guiding a black-clothed girl forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This black-clothed girl had a few shadows fluttering at her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadows were screaming, screeching in agony, seemingly going through all the worst tortures of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadows weren’t just fluttering, they were writhing, struggling, trying to escape from her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how much they tried to run, in the end they were still pulled back behind the black-clothed girl by an invisible force.\u003C\u002Fp>",1832,"2026-06-09T03:05:01.244Z",1,"novelbin.me","b5b9c47c088aa6e790c763baaeffca62c35ba9e399f12c0acc6c881a733baf1c","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-461","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-279",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
