Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Inside the main hall.

Ten statues of sword cultivators had disappeared.

Only the golden-armored goddess statue stood tall on the offering platform, gazing at the two without saying a word.

"This formation is... rather strange, from now on, I will be on the sidelines to protect you from unforeseen harm." The palace maid said.

"Thank you." Gu Qingshan Dao.

He walked step by step to the offering table of the golden-armored statue and said archly, "What deity is Your Excellency? Why is it offered here?"

The golden-armored idol slowly bowed its head, looked down at Gu Qingshan, and spoke, "Do you know what this sword is?"

He held up the sword in his hand.

Gu Qingshan took a closer look at it and shook his head, "I've never seen this sword before."

"Could it be that you've forgotten?" The golden-armored idol asked.

"Any sword weapon, as long as I have seen it, I will definitely remember it." Gu Qingshan said.

"Do you dare to hold this sword?" The golden-armored idol asked again.

"How dare you? But this place is owned by a saint, so how can I overstep my kitchen and take the long sword from your hand?" Gu Qingshan Dao.

The palace maid stepped forward and extended her hand, "Please give the sword."

The golden-armored idol said, "You're not a sword cultivator."

"Only give sword cultivation?" The courtesan asked.

"Right." The golden-armored idol looked at Gu Qingshan.

The palace maid wondered, "He's only at the Qi Refining Stage, and his cultivation path has yet to be determined, so how can you be sure he's a sword cultivator?"

"He's the sword cultivator." The golden-armored idol.

The palace maiden was speechless for a while, and remembered the matter of the Earth Sword recognizing its master, and that was how she felt a bit relieved.

"It's better for you to do it, the Sage won't be blamed, don't worry." She rushed at Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan then arched his hand towards the idol and said, "Please give the Sword."

The golden-armored idol moved slightly, loosened its hand, and drank, "Receive the sword!"

The longsword sliced through the void and gently landed in Gu Qingshan's hand.

The next instant.

The golden-armored deity statue whispered, "We, the cultivators, have waited here for countless years, only to reveal this matter, you must be very careful, be cautious, one wrong step is an abyss, and there is no turning back!"

Boom-.

His entire body scattered into a burst of light and instantly disappeared.

The palace maid squinted at the scene and whispered.

"Another spirit... but more powerful than the previous few spirits... has gone to the Phase World..."

Gu Qingshan couldn't help but say, "Dare I ask Your Excellency, what is the Phase World all about?"

The palace maid looked at him and shook her head, "When you reach the Jindan Realm, it will almost be enough to touch this aspect of the art, but now you only need to know that it is a special kind of world."

Gu Qingshan's heart was shaken.

Jindan Realm!

This is completely incorrect, at this moment in time, the world of cultivation has no contact with the world of phases at all.

The highest level of cultivation in this world was Sealing Saint.

Above the Sealed Saint, there was still the Divine Illumination, Thousand Karma, Taixu, Xuan Ling, Chaotic Star, Returning to the Origin, Bright God, Seeing the Sky, Ninety Traveling Searches, Eight Hundred Empty Wheels, Three Thousand Worlds, Four Pillars Sacred Realm, Nightmare Sky, Self-Existence King, Lord of Mount Sumeru, and then the Mosaic Realm.

I was still at the Moksha Realm before I understood what the world was saying.

Why did Xie Dao Ling say that the Golden Dan could touch the Phase World?

At this point, how could she just say anything about the phase world?

-What went wrong?

Gu Qingshan pressed the shock waves in his heart and lowered his head without moving, gazing at the longsword in his hand.

Two lines of small, glowing characters flew out.

"You have obtained a special spiritual technique: the Ten Thousand Swords Demon Suppressing Rope."

"This spirit technique has been linked to your soul, and no one other than you can use it again."

"All that is required to activate it is a turn of your mind."

"Description: this is a spirit technique released with the full strength of all the sword cultivators in the Spiritual Realm, who came to you before the Long ago Calamity and were willing to fight alongside you."

"Now, they've done this in this manner."

Gu Qingshan's heart fluttered as he gently fondled the longsword.

This sword was a Spiritual Skill.

Spiritual Skills were so strong that they could almost transcend realms, and were the power manifestations of the entire world system.

For example, Control Spiritual Technique, Song and Dance Performer.

For example, the summoning spirit skill, World Overcomer.

-- There's also the attack class, the Realm Spirit's Descent.

And this Ten Thousand Swords Demon Suppressing Rope was a Sealing Class Spiritual Technique.

These Spiritual Skills were infinitely powerful.

Gu Qingshan gripped his long sword and drank, "Open!"

The longsword scattered countless runes and connected into a cable out of thin air, flying straight towards the mural behind the offering platform.

Clang, clang, clang!

The cable stuck into the wall as if it was stuck in something.

The palace maid and Gu Qingshan both looked moved.

There was something behind the mural!

Gu Qingshan tightened his grip on the longsword and pulled back hard-...

Boom!

The entire wall broke open.

A prison cage composed entirely of sword weapons appeared before the two.

In the cage, there was a shriveled corpse curled up.

A long sword passed through the corpse and pinned it to the cage, unable to move a muscle.

--This corpse looked like nothing more than an ordinary cultivator.

"What is this?" Gu Qingshan muttered.

When the corpse heard the human voice, it suddenly moved and raised its head to look at Gu Qingshan and the palace maid.

"It's... a cultivator!"

The corpse's eyes lit up and shouted, "Quick! Quickly get me out of here, as long as you save me, I'll definitely teach you unparalleled techniques that will make you the strongest existence in the world!"

"Who are you?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"I'm a Flood Sage, I was seriously injured in a great calamity of Heaven and Earth countless years ago, and I was unaware of it and was taken advantage of by the Yakuza, that's why I'm in such a state - save me! I will be repaid!" The corpse roared.

Gu Qingshan didn't move.

The palace maid stared at the corpse, her appearance becoming serious.

"Flood Saints... So that's how it is... Those Sword Cultivation spirits want us to take a look at an evil creature like you." The palace maid muttered.

"Bold! I am the Supreme Sage of the Flood, one of the strongest number of people in the world, and you dare to call me an evil object!" The corpse drank.

The palace maid looked cold and absently said, "You smell of evil all over you, where is there any hint of a cultivator's breath? Besides - I finally saw one alive."

"What do you mean?" The corpse said in a deep voice.

"You're just a corpse, not even the original owner of this body, so why do you know so much?"

The palace maid shook her head and headed towards Gu Qingshan, "Let it go."

Gu Qingshan said hesitantly, "It seems to be fierce."

"It's fine."

"...Good."

Gu Qingshan thought that even if he unsealed it, he could use the Ten Thousand Swords Demon Suppressing Rope again at any time, so he unsealed it with a hard scalp.

Only the dense long swords all disappeared, and the corpse staggered and fell to the ground.

The corpse climbed up and laughed wildly, "Hahaha, I finally-"

Before the words were out of her mouth, the courtesan held up a roll of her sleeve.

The corpse suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Only then did the palace maid turned to look at Gu Qingshan and said gently, "You're very good, you've completely unlocked the secrets of this place, I'm sure the saints will be pleased when they know about it."

Gu Qingshan said hesitantly, "That guy was quite powerful just now, there won't be any problems, right?"

"No, it's just a corpse, not the Flood Sage from back then." The palace maid said.

She thought about it and explained, "There's nothing powerful about the corpse, but in our hands, we can reverse-engineer a lot of information from the corpse's life, which is extremely valuable information that is worth a thousand gold."

Gu Qingshan finally put his mind at ease.

Xie Dao Ling had always done things steadily and would never be arrogant.

Since she said that there was no problem, then there must be no problem.

--But, she only had a Saint Sealing Realm cultivation, so how was she going to deal with this Flood Sage's corpse?

The palace maid looked at him and sighed softly, "Never thought that a young man at the Qi Refining stage could be favored by the ancient sword cultivators - by the way, what is it that you've come to ask for an audience with the saints?"

Gu Qingshan pressed his doubts and arched his hand, "The matter at the front line, Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yue Chan are still surrounded by demons, I was entrusted by the two to sneak all the way here, I have something important to report to the Sage, please let me go down to meet the Sage."

"You're already a person who has picked the Sword List, so naturally you should go see her." The palace maid said.

She casually squeezed a secret.

All the surrounding scenes instantly disappeared.

In a whirl, Gu Qingshan landed his feet on the ground.

He only saw himself and the palace maid still standing in front of the huge green jade screen.

"Come, follow me to see the Immortal."

"Okay."

One by one, they passed through the long corridor and over the layers of the palace to the main hall of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

"Announce that the sword list was taken off today, let's see what His Immortal Holiness will say." The palace maid said.

"Yes."

The two palace maids listened and separated into one person who entered the main hall with quick strides.

"His Immortal Holiness now has just enough time to declare an audience with the list pickers."

The palace maids looked at Gu Qingshan and extended their hands in a virtual lead, "Go to see His Immortal Holiness."

"Then I'm on my way." Gu Qingshan cupped his fists and said.

The palace maid smiled slightly and said, "I have to remind you that you can't have a false word in front of the Immortal Dignity, say whatever you have to say, or else you'll suffer the consequences."

"Thank you for instructing me." Gu Qingshan said.

The palace maid nodded slightly and turned sideways, allowing him passage.

Gu Qingshan walked up the steps step by step, walking slowly, and soon entered the main hall.

As always, the Hundred Flowers Hall was still as cool and empty as ever.

The breeze comes with a dark scent.

---just like back then.

Gu Qingshan looked around.

Anyone who came to this palace was all too careful, afraid of being rude.

But how would they know-.

This was merely a place where the Hundred Flowers Sect disciples ate breakfast.

Gu Qingshan temporarily put aside his memories and followed the faint aroma to the depths of the main hall.

He saw a towering platform with thousands of flowers and grasses carved out of immortal jade in various postures.

In the center of these flowers and grasses, a huge flower was in full bloom, revealing a throne among the stamens.

The Ten Thousand Flowers Throne.

On top of the throne sat a woman wearing an emerald green neon feathered dress with a veil over her face.

"Were you the one who picked the sword list?"

The woman opened her mouth to ask, sounding like a hundred birds crunching.
