Chapter 1002 - Calming Soul Country
Chapter 1002: Calming Soul Country
9,000 km.
A single [Shadow Shift] moved the distance of 9,000km.
Indeed, such a distance wasn’t anything special within the endless space vortex.
But Gu Qing Shan was no longer the Rejuvenation realm cultivator that he was in Shen Wu world.
He was now at Paragon realm.
During the Age of Old, he would be equal to any Divinity.
The cost of [Shadow Shift] was nonexistent to his current self.
The airship continued to fly through the space vortex.
Within the boundless blue sea of elemental energy, the ship carried them all forward.
As they approached a beautiful wavy silk-like outer ring of a certain world, the airship vanished at once, reappearing on the other side of the void.
The void was immeasurably deep, unable to imagine using common sense.
——-even a small fragmented rock that stood still within the space vortex might contain 7-8 worlds within it.
While an entire humongous nebula might not contain any signs of life at all.
A single leaf was a single world, and an entire galaxy might also be just a single world.
The concepts of ‘big’ and ‘small’ were useless within the void, incomparable to one another.
These numerous worlds exuded energy fluctuation that clashed and acted on one another, twisting, gathering, erupting, scattering, ravaging, and manifesting as wind.
This was the essence of the never-ending winds of the space vortex.
Gu Qing Shan continued extending his inner sight outward in order to search for the next thing that he would be able to switch positions with.
——there were numerous things that were both useless and unimaginable precious within the space vortex, so this wasn’t very hard.
The only thing Gu Qing Shan had to do was choose one that was the furthest away, then confirm that it was just an item and not an entire world.
He wasn’t strong enough to switch places with an entire world just yet.
He found a tattered chest, wrapped around it with this inner sight to confirm that it wasn’t a world before activating [Shadow Shift]!
And they continued forward this way.
[Shadow Shift]!
[Shadow Shift]!
[Shadow Shift]!
The airship was constantly moving forward through the void of space in a blinking fashion.
Inside the ship.
After watching the surveillance footage for a while, Zhang Ying Hao turned around, took out a marching bed, and put it on the ground.
He then took out a blanket, took off his shoes and jacket, then settled into the bed with the black cat.
“I’m sleepy, wake me after he’s done showing off”
Zhang Ying Hao yawned.
“Hey, is that really ok?” Ye Fei Li asked.
Zhang Ying Hao replied: “With an ability like that, the Soul Shrieker wouldn’t catch up to him even after a year”
Meow!
The black cat meowed out in agreement.
The man and cat covered themselves in the blanket and went to sleep.
Ye Fei Li scowled: “But aren’t you relaxing a bit too much, who knows what we’re going to run into? It’s better to maintain some caution”
While he was saying that, Ye Fei Li took out his game console, skillfully turned it on, chose a saved file, and started playing.
Laura sighed: “My Duke, your facial expression and actions don’t match”
She turned to watch the surveillance footage, observing Gu Qing Shan’s actions, occasionally took out the bronze monocular to check the Soul Shrieker’s distance.
“It seems we’re getting further and further away” Laura muttered.
All of a sudden, the door of the cabin opened and Gu Qing Shan walked back in.
Laura was surprised and asked: “Why did you go back in?”
Gu Qing Shan mused a bit and replied: “I just remembered I have something to deal with”
Laura checked the surveillance footage to see that Shannu had taken his place.
Just like Gu Qing Shan before, Shannu was using [Shadow Shift] to constantly warp the airship forward.
“That sword of yours, hah, I’m feeling both envy and admiration” Laura told him.
“I also feel the same” Gu Qing Shan smiled.
“So, what did you have to do?”
“I just thought that there was something I need to prepare ahead of time—— I assume that the map you have of the 900 million World Layers must be the most complete one”
“It should be, there shouldn’t be anyone who could make a more detailed map”
Saying so, Laura took out a silver metal cube.
She pressed a button on it.
A map was then projected into the air.
Laura pointed at a moving dot on the map and said: “This is the map of the nearest 300 million World Layers, and this dot right here is our airship”
“As we’re currently in the middle of 94,000 elemental worlds, the elemental pressure that completely filled the void is causing our speed to greatly decrease, fortunately, your [Shadow Shift] is able to bypass all of that”
“After going through this area, we’ll run into an area of 599 anti-magic worlds, all of which were destroyed due to the lack of moderation in the usage of forbidden magic. That region of the space vortex is extremely stagnant, but since my airship is coated in a unique material, combined with your ability, it shouldn’t be much trouble for us to make it through”
Gu Qing Shan observed the map and carefully listened.
“Wait”
He walked over to Zhang Ying Hao’s marching bed and called him: “Get up, Ying Hao”
“What is it?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
Meow?
The black cat also peeked his head out.
“There’s something important”
Gu Qing Shan said very seriously.
“For me or for the black cat?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
“For the black cat, but I need you to translate” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The black cat called out:
Meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow
Gu Qing Shan asked: “What is it saying?”
“—–he said that he wants to eat after this”
“No problem”
Everyone walked up to the projected map.
“Black cat, tell me where our destination is” Gu Qing Shan looked at the map and asked.
Laura realized: “Ah, so you wanted to know where exactly we’re heading to in order to make prior preparations”
“That’s right” Gu Qing Shan looked at the black cat.
The black cat looked up at the map and called out:
Meow meow meow!
“He said to expand the range displayed on the map a bit” Zhang Ying Hao translated for them.
Laura pushed a few buttons on the silver cube.
The map expanded to show more areas of the void and the worlds on it.
Meow meow!
“He said that it’s not enough”
Laura zoomed out again.
Meow meow meow!
“He said to zoom out again”
“Got it”
Finally, the map was zoomed out to the black cat’s requirement.
The black cat looked at the map for a while and pointed his claw at a certain spot.
Everyone turned to that area
——it was a completely dark area of the void.
“Wait a minute, why isn’t there anything there?” Laura doubtfully asked.
Zhang Ying Hao chuckled and replied: “Perhaps it’s a hidden world. Such worlds are usually only opened to people from the underworld and won’t arbitrarily give out their locational maps to anyone”
Laura believed that and asked: “Then, what now?”
Zhang Ying Hao replied: “Don’t worry, I have the map and proof of entry for most underworld areas”
He pulled out a black metal cube and pressed it.
Sha!
Another screen of light was displayed.
This map was basically the same as Laura’s map, except for a few small differences.
As they took a look at it, they found that the area where the black cat pointed at was also blank on this map.
“Strange, why isn’t there anything in my underworld map as well?” Zhang Ying Hao felt a bit embarrassed.
Gu Qing Shan mused: “There is strong wind constantly blowing within the void. If the Card is simply floating there, it wouldn’t stay in place for too long”
“In other words, there might be something at that location”
“But our maps displayed nothing in that area” Zhang Ying Hao replied.
Everyone couldn’t understand.
Ye Fei Li sighed: “If it’s not marked on these maps, we probably wouldn’t be able to find out anything about it”
Gu Qing Shan’s eyes twitched slightly, gesturing to Zhang Ying Hao and said: “No, we still have Boss with us. Not only is he strong, but he’s also very knowledgeable, so he might know something we don’t”
Zhang Ying Hao understood and scoffed: “Him? He couldn’t even get the ship to speed up, let’s not ask him about any map”
They quickly got their results.
Boss’ book hovered to where they were immediately.
It opened to display a few lines of text:
[It’s nothing but a mysterious zone, I really don’t understand why you’d make such a big deal out of it]
[My powers have been depleted, so I only need to borrow a bit of origin power from the soul to display it]
Gu Qing Shan answered right away: “No problem”
Everyone hurriedly carried the maps in front of Boss.
Boss stiffly raised his arm and put it up against the book, silently muttering an incantation.
Once the incantation was finished, Boss turned to Gu Qing Shan and nodded.
Gu Qing Shan put his hand on Boss’ back and slowly poured Soul Points in.
Being infused with the power of Soul Points, the book in Boss’ hand suddenly flew up, crashed against the projected maps in the air before taking all the images in.
A few moments later, the book opened by itself in the air.
Lines of text were displayed:
[Discovered the unreachable place of mysteries, the home of vows and secret protection, home for the descendants of the ancient Deities, unique sealed world]
[Calming Soul Country]
[This world is in an eternally sealed and hidden state, without the correct method, it would never open and allow you entry]
As soon as those words finish manifesting on the book, it hurriedly displayed another series of words below:
[Oh no! Damn it!]
[I was too careless! Why is it this place!?]
[Hurry! Give me a few Soul Points drinks, right now!!!]
Sensing the urgency in those words, everyone was surprised.
Boss had always been a calm and collected person, even if he would fall unconscious at the next second, he would still act full of pride and confidence.
——why is he suddenly so frantic?
