BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1251 - I trust you
Chapter 1251: I trust you
At this point, Gu Qing Shan suddenly thought of something.
“When I was in the Eastern Desolate Grotto, I sensed a drifting evil spirit in the School of Fei Yu clan meeting room with my spirit sense”
“At the time, I believed it to be the School of Fei Yu’s secret weapon, and with the presence it gave off, it should have been able to directly eliminate me”
“But now, if my guess is correct...”
“The Patriarch of the School of Fei Yu is already no longer his original self”
As he said that Gu Qing Shan himself felt fearful.
Inheritance.
Inheritance from the Samsara.
In these years of Apocalypses, how tempting would this be?
Spirit Linked Martial Artists, Weapon Wielders, Bone Masters.
All of them rely on inheritances in order to fight against the Apocalypse!
I wonder just how many people within the Tomb of Myriad Beasts as a whole have already been replaced.
The War God UI fell into a long silence.
After a while.
The War God UI spoke up: [Inheritances are of the same nature as cultivation knowledge bestowal, following to existing rules, I would not reject them right away]
[In accordance with your conjecture, the system had now altered the corresponding rules:]
[From now on, if any inheritance wishes to enter your body, it must first obtain your approval or be rejected]
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
A few moments later, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You’ve successfully resonated and become a Spirit Linked Martial Artist]
[If you spend 10,000 Soul Points, the system will erase this inheritance from you]
[Would you like to spend the Soul Points to finish this erasure?]
Gu Qing Shan was about to say yes, but then he paused with his mouth open, not answering.
Wait.
His gaze turned, then started walking within the destroyed world of darkness.
Time slowly passed.
The lines of glowing text continued to remain in front of Gu Qing Shan’s vision, but he still didn’t give the order.
[It isn’t a difficult task to remove the inheritance, why haven’t you confirmed the order yet?] the War God UI asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Everything I’ve said is only a conjecture, I don’t have solid proof to confirm this”
[Safety over all else] the War God UI replied.
“Let me think about it a bit more”
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought again.
He climbed a long metal pole in the middle of the ruined structure, watching over the widespread scene of carnage with a complicated expression.
[What are you still hesitant for? It should be known that if your conjecture is correct, every second wasted means you’re one step closer to danger] the War God UI replied.
Gu Qing Shan pondered: “A conjecture can never be taken as truth beyond any doubts. I need to see the truth with my own eyes to confirm”
“Furthermore, if that human-headed snake is attempting something against me, I should at least retaliate, otherwise it would think I’m someone easy to bully”
The War God UI replied: [The system can help you erase its inheritance]
“Not enough” Gu Qing Shan spat out those words.
He lightly waved his hands.
Two swords appeared from behind his back.
“I remember you explaining just now that inheritances are a kind of unique magic, similar to cultivation knowledge bestowal?”
[Correct] the War God UI confirmed.
Gu Qing Shan pondered and slowly spoke: “If I use [Night Cruiser], my consciousness would surely be moved into my clone and taken away, even if I left Shannu here by herself, she wouldn’t necessarily be able to defeat it”
Recalling that human-headed snake entity, Gu Qing Shan felt his heart beating faster for no reason.
It managed to put me into complete stasis simply by looking at me.
If it’s so strong, how would I fight against it?
Gu Qing Shan thought about it for a while longer, finally muttering:
“Then... I’ll simply not give it the chance to act...”
He held the Six Paths Great Mountain sword in one hand and the Earth sword in the other, abruptly stabbing both into his own chest.
“Gongzi!”
「 Gu Qing Shan! 」
Both sword spirits called out in horror.
His blood spilled.
Gu Qing Shan knitted his eyebrows, enduring the pain and said: “Don’t worry, for a cultivator of my caliber, as long as you don’t exert your powers, I won’t die so easily”
「 What exactly are you doing? 」the Earth sword questioned in a heavy voice.
The Chao Yin sword also appeared from the void of space, anxiously circling around Gu Qing Shan while vibrating in fear.
“I suspect that when I use [Night Cruiser] to make a clone of myself, something else will emerge to enter my main body”
“After I sleep and leave my body as a clone, do not move and remain right here in my chest”
“Shannu, continue to dispel any spells or techniques; Earth sword, I’ll allow you to use all of my Soul Points; since both of you are already thrusted into my chest, the other party will have no margin to resist...”
Gu Qing Shan endured the pain, took a deep breath, then continued:
“If anything tries to take control of my body, kill it”
The three swords silently listened and finally understood his intent.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly smiled and said: “Make sure to choose the right target, especially the Earth sword, don’t use [Earth’s Choice] on my body—— you need to act at the exact moment when it enters my body, you can definitely detect it!”
「 If we truly did that, it would be extremely dangerous 」the Earth sword spoke with a heavy tone.
“You can do it” Gu Qing Shan resolutely said.
As his blood continued to drip out, Shannu’s near-sobbing voice came from the sword: “Gongzi, I’m afraid that I might carelessly hurt you”
“It will be fine. After I fall asleep, my body wouldn’t perform any techniques, you can simply thrust yourself into that guy trying to enter my body with all your strength—— I know you can cut apart all magic and techniques, it won’t be able to stop you”
He smiled at them in encouragement: “Your are my swords, I trust you”
Hearing him, the two swords knew that he was determined, so they didn’t say another word and silently prepared themselves.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and began preparing to activate [Night Cruiser].
Although there was a constant pain radiating from his chest, cultivators were the kind of people that could keep their minds completely still under extremely harsh states; so controlling his body so that he would fall asleep wasn’t that tough of a task.
Gu Qing Shan had already gotten used to [Night Cruiser], so when he was about half-delirious, he immediately triggered this cloning technique.
Hoh——
His consciousness carried the Chao Yin sword to traverse through countless obstacles and once again headed towards the sky above.
Through the dark night sky, he continuously headed upwards, and further upwards.
Darkness scattered; the sky was blue.
Through the ocean, through the clouds, locating the entrance to the cave among the countless upside-down mountains above, then silently went in.
Now that he thought about it, these mountains must have originally been a part of the world’s underside, which means they just happened to be the underground portion of that great tomb.
—–the two swords were waiting for that monster to fall into the trap by itself.
Taking this time, Gu Qing Shan planned to use [Night Cruiser] one last time to enter the great tomb and search for where that wraith’s corpse was.
The further into the cave he went, the more people there were.
Everyone was busily moving along.
Gu Qing Shan could now recognize who was a Bone Master, who was a Spirit Linked Martial Artist, and who was a Weapon Wielder.
His consciousness followed the flow of people towards a certain direction.
A few moments later.
He saw a pool of red-hot lava, which was connected to a vast sea of lava without borders.
Everyone was standing around the edge of the sea of lava
There was something inside, bobbing up and down.
Is that the wraith’s corpse?
Gu Qing Shan was thinking that when he abruptly felt something.
A great force was pulling at him from behind, which yanked him backward in an instant.
Wind howled by his ears.
His speed had reached some sort of limit, going through the entire length of the cave, mountain, sky, and sea in an instant, returning him to the destroyed world of darkness.
He opened his eyes.
Pftt!
He abruptly spat up blood.
“Gongzi, your orders were successfully carried out”
This was Shannu’s voice.
「 Hurry and treat your wounds! 」the Earth sword swiftly followed.
Gu Qing Shan stood up.
I didn’t even manage to manifest the clone—–
He looked down to see the two swords still stabbed into his chest, wave after wave of unbearable aching pain being transmitted from the wounds.
His body became incredibly weakened.
But something else had appeared within this world of darkness.
Gu Qing Shan looked up.
In front of him, a set of skeletons several hundred meters in size laid on the ground, completely lifeless.
——-it was indeed that human-headed snake.
On the War God UI, lines of glowing text appeared:
[Your conjecture was correct]
[All of your Soul Points had been used to activate Earth’s Choice, furthermore, 100 million Soul Points in the system’s personal storage had also been fully consumed]
[Through leaving your sword in your body, you made sure that the other party could not prevent this attack]
[You had accomplished an impossible slaying—— this was equivalent to a tiny dust mite exterminating a dragon]
[You killed the monster summoned by spirit linking: Samsara Chief War Shaman (specific name and identity unclear)]
[By killing this monster, you have surpassed all restraints and definitions of weak and strong]
[The number of Soul Points obtained through kill this was unbelievable, the UI is still performing calculations]
[Please wait...]
