Chapter 464: The mystery of the world

Translated by: La0o9

Proofreader: Arya

Gu Qing Shan took out one jade tag after another, comprehending the art of formation from them.

The jade tags were being comprehended at a rapid rate.

His understanding of formations was quickly growing.

In a very short time, he was climbing towards the peak of this world’s art of formation, its highest level of ‘science’.

Although he killed both w.a.n.g Hong Dao and Tian Shan Ye, Gu Qing Shan’s intuition was still extremely tense, unable to be eased at all.

He was comprehending formations at break-neck speed.

“Gongzi, what are you worried about?” Qing Rou asked in a low voice.

Gu Qing Shan was clearly anxious.

“That’s right, gongzi, all of them are already dead, we’re safe now” Wan Er also said.

“I’ll explain later” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He didn’t stop his hands at all, only becoming more and more worried.

There must be something that I don’t know about.

This world has always been mysterious and strange.

Both the people and the demon.

I’ve only been here for so long, how could I claim to have control over the entire situation?

So the best solution would be to escape from here as fast as possible.

To do that, I need to improve my understanding of formation to a level as high as possible in the shortest time.

To prevent any further variables, I need to unlock Qi Yan’s Two-world warp formation and get Shen Wu world’s coordinates now!

“I understand everything, gongzi” Shannu abruptly opened her eyes and spoke.

While continuing to absorb the knowledge from the jade tags, Gu Qing Shan asked: “When w.a.n.g Hong Dao died, he said that every person in the world will have to die, is this true?”

“It’s true”

Shannu made a complicated expression and wanted to explain everything.

Gu Qing Shan stopped her.

He used his inner sight to send his voice: “Don’t speak, use your inner sight to tell us”

Although Shannu was surprised, she still did as Gu Qing Shan said and informed them through her inner sight.

1000 years ago.

Before the realm demon appeared.

The world was at the peak of its prosperity.

The cultivators here were endlessly ambitious.

They conquered and absorbed every world they could find in order to advance their own world and civilization to greater heights.

This was the Suspended world’s Golden Age.

But one day, a girl came to this world.

She came out of nowhere.

n.o.body knew where she came from, or how she got here.

The girl was innocent and simple.

She found everything about the world surprising.

So she wandered across the world without any particular reason or aim.

At the start, none of the cultivators discovered or took any notice of such a normal girl.

Until one day, when the girl happened to come across a group of cultivators who were arbitrarily killing slaves they brought from a world they had conquered.

Seeing their behavior, the girl wanted to stop the cultivators and protect the slaves.

Of course, this led to a fight between her and the cultivators.

Which ended with the cultivators unable to win against her at all.

They were all restrained.

Fortunately for them, the girl didn’t enjoy needless killing, so after forbidding them from doing this again, she let them go.

And so those cultivators came back with reinforcements.

But every cultivator who came as reinforcement couldn’t win against her either.

Waves of reinforcements came one after another, until finally a Cryptic realm cultivator arrived.

The Cryptic realm cultivator lost as well.

Since this battle, this event became renowned among cultivators.

The world was greatly shaken.

Cryptic realm cultivators arrived one after another to pick a fight with the girl, but none of them managed to win.

Where did she come from?

How was she so powerful?

At this point, the Suspended world had already been unable to find any new worlds to conquer.

The Cryptic realm had become the limit for the Suspended world without any option for them to breakthrough.

And this girl who came from a foreign world managed to win against Cryptic realm cultivators.

She represented a new hope.

So they began to dig into her.

Naturally, the entire cultivation world didn’t manage to find out about her origins.

All they knew was that the girl wasn’t a being from this world, as she herself admitted to this.

Various thoughts and ideas were thrown around.

Unfortunately, since they couldn’t win against her, no one could get any useful information from her.

So the top cultivators of the world gathered to discuss a solution.

Tian Shan Ye was nominated.

Although Tian Shan Ye couldn’t win against her, he was a handsome man, and one that knew how to seduce women.

Under the cooperation and secret planning of all the cultivators from the world, Tian Shan Ye began to court the girl.

He succeeded.

Because of Tian Shan Ye, the girl decided to stay in this world.

While Tian Shan Ye carried the ambition of all cultivators from the world and acted like a true lover to her.

He wanted to find out the girl’s secrets.

Finally, at the moment least expected by the girl, he laid a trap.

44 Cryptic realm cultivators attacked her together.

Since she didn’t manage to notice it and got ambushed, she was easily defeated.

When the girl found out about Tian Shan Ye’s true intentions, being restrained by the cultivators, she fell into desperation and gave up.

She killed herself.

Before death, she said this.

“My soul will become the Order of destruction, summoning from beyond a horrible creature that you cannot possibly win against. You will all slowly die in despair until none of you are left, none of you will be spared, this will be my revenge upon you”

After that, she died.

If she only died, the cultivators wouldn’t have cared.

As long as her soul was intact, they could still capture her.

And then, nothing about her will be a secret to them.

Unfortunately, the girl’s soul also disappeared following her death.

Despite all their rituals, spells and techniques, none of the cultivators managed to find the girl’s soul.

And while they were still confused.

The realm demon arrived.

On the first day, the realm demon devoured the sun and moon.

On the second day, the realm demon began eating the stars in the sky. Within a few days, the entire world was plunged into darkness without any light from above.

The cultivators tried to stop it.

But the realm demon’s immeasurable power was despairing.

Every single cultivator who partic.i.p.ated in that campaign was devoured by the realm demon.

It was now that they all recalled the girl’s last words.

But it was too late.

The world slowly walked towards the path of destruction, and the cultivators were helpless to stop it.

Without any solution, the top cultivators of the world once again secretly gathered to come up with an idea.

They unanimously agreed that Tian Shan Ye had to die in order to quell the girl’s raging soul.

And so they quickly sacrificed Tian Shan Ye.

It was Tian Shan Ye’s disciple, w.a.n.g Hong Dao, who was selected to ambush Tian Shan Ye.

Arranged to die by the combined might of his entire world, naturally Tian Shan Ye was killed without any resistance.

But it was all useless.

The realm demon never went away.

The world fell into total despair.

While the cultivators still had the will to struggle, unwilling to just die off, someone invented a certain technique.

The technique could help the floating islands that were formed by each sect directly fly out of the world’s...o...b..t and escape.

The cultivation world celebrated in joy.

The largest floating islands were the first to breakthrough the sky, leaving from the world.

A few months pa.s.sed.

The few great cultivators who went first as scouts never came back to report.

This caused the top-level cultivators to become suspicious.

Through careful tracing, they found that the escape technique, or rather escape formation, was invented by a small-time unknown formation user.

So the formation user was quickly found.

“Strange, this shouldn’t be the case”

The formation user said.

Then he died.

His soul was destroyed without leaving a trace.

Not even a tiniest strand of soul was found.

Exactly like how the mysterious girl died before.

So the top-level cultivators quickly concluded that this was that girl’s plan.

The escape formation must have contained some sort of great danger.

To prevent the world of cultivation from falling into a panicked state, the top cultivators hid this fact.

So more and more sects used the technique in the hope of escaping.

They broke through the sky, escaping this world to enter the void of s.p.a.ce.

Only the top-level cultivators of the world fell into unprecedented despair.

Before, they had gathered and plotted to restrain and capture that girl.

This was their karma.

A few great cultivators went into the s.p.a.ce vortex in hope of searching for a new world.

But they themselves knew better than anyone, every world they ever found was already absorbed into their own.

They have no coordinates and nowhere to flee to.

The cultivators who left alone also disappeared after a long time of wandering aimlessly.

They couldn’t escape the girl’s dying curse.

Truly, no person in this world managed to escape.

Every self-proclaimed great cultivator who thought themselves to be right could only wait for their own death to arrive.

1000 years quickly pa.s.sed.

Resources have completely dried up and 90% of the cultivators were dead.

The only big sect that remained was Rakshasa Peak.

But including Rakshasa Peak, the entire world was helpless to do anything but wait their turn to die.

This was the whole truth.
