Chapter 100: Illuminating light

Translated and Edited by: La0o9

By noon, everything was ready

White goose carried a jade tag in his mouth, giving it to Gu Qing Shan.

“This is the method, it can ensure your soul vessel will not dissipate, even if you fail to breakthrough you won’t lose your life. But you absolutely must fully comprehend it before attempting to breakthrough” white goose very solemnly said

“I will, thank you first brother”

Gu Qing Shan held up the jade tag, scanning it with his inner sight.

“100 Revolutions of Ascension Method, first part”

Gu Qing Shan looked over all of it very quickly.

He has never heard of this name before, but seeing the method in the jade tag, he could tell there are many places that were erased and rewritten with inner sight.

Looking at all the changes and fixes in the method, as well as the jade tag itself ———there’s not even a single bit of wear on it, a pure white color, this was obviously a newly made jade tag.

Such an awesome sounding name, was probably made up by Bai Hua Fairy on the spot.

Even the content inside was probably made by her overnight.

But he could tell, the information inside was specifically made to help sword cultivator breakthrough, further improving on the methods of “military qi training method” to help increase the flow and capacity of his spirit energy

This was something Bai Hua Fairy herself made specifically to help Gu Qing Shan breakthrough.

Gu Qing Shan felt an indescribable sense of warmth inside.

How many people in the world could say that they’ve received such treatment from the Saint?

“Spend 10 Soul Points, comprehend 100 Revolutions of Ascension Method, first part”

After reading through the entire jade tag once, he spent another 10 Soul Points to fully comprehend it again.

He immediately understood all there is to understand about it.

But Gu Qing Shan still couldn’t stand up right away, because there is no one in the world that’s so monstrously talented that they could fully comprehend a scripture as soon as they read it.

He could only hold the jade tag, eyes closed, sitting on the cushion and acted like he was thinking hard about something.

“First brother, I’ll need a big-sized pill furnace that’s at least 200 years old” Qin Xiao Lou then serious started speaking.

“How big?” white goose ask

“Hm, it have to be at least as big as a person” Qin Xiao Lou thought and answered.

“Very well, I’ll check the treasury” white goose left again.

“Second brother, what can I do?” Xiuxiu couldn’t just stand still, and asked.

“Xiuxiu, you go to Shifu’s place and get me one Dragon’s Tear flower”

“Ok” Xiuxiu fleetingly left.

Qin Xiao Lou held up his hand and began to quickly count on his fingers.

After a bit, he muttered: “3 PM is a suitable time to breakthrough, but it’s usually used for beheading, junior brother might not like it, I’ll have to find another time...”

While Qin Xiao Lou was calculating with Divination, a large sound was heard inside Bai Hua palace.

A pill furnace that’s 3-person tall dropped inside the hall, staggering a bit before standing up straight.

White goose landed on top, checking it again.

“Hm, it hasn’t been used for quite long, but seems like there won’t be any problems” white goose said with satisfaction.

Qin Xiao Lou must not have heard it, as he was still muttering, calculating. (1)

After finishing, he took out a formation plate and began to arrange formations all around the pill furnace.

“Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, Spirit Funnel”

“Wood spirits turns Water, Soul Nurturing”

He arranged formations one after another, only after a while did he wipe the sweat off his forehead and ordered white goose: “Help me a bit, go to the treasury and find me 9 kinds of forging materials”

“I’ll be back right away” white goose just accepted and flew away.

Xiuxiu hugged a bundle of flowers in her hands, breathing heavily as she said: “Second brother, I’m back”

As Qin Xiao Lou saw, he face palmed: “I told you to bring back one flower, why did you bring a whole bundle?”

“I was afraid one wouldn’t be enough for third brother” Xiuxiu smiled, embarrassed.

“Ok, when Shifu comes back, if she says anything then just tell her I picked them” Qin Xiao Lou said.

“Ah, are these very valuable?”

“No no, Xiuxiu, there’s no problem, I was just afraid that Shifu might be stingy”

White goose came back just in time to hear that, his eyes squinted.

...

Gu Qing Shan acted like he was meditating, but he silently paid attention to everything happening in the hall, as he deeply imprints the sight of them busy helping him prepare in his mind.

In the past life, has anyone else ever worry about him like this?

Back then, when he broke through Foundation Establishment, he was one step away from having his soul eaten by a Tianma, luck was literally the only reason why he survived.

Two hours later.

Gu Qing Shan looked up at the 3-person tall pill furnace, and became speechless.

“Second brother, don’t tell me you want to turn me into a pill?”

“What nonsense are you saying? The hall has a giant protection formation, both me and first brother will protect you can both sides, and in the very middle of the hall is the 300 years old spirit pill furnace, and fianally inside the pill furnace is you, that way Tianma won’t have any chance to attack” Qin Xiao Lou glared at him.

Gu Qing Shan smiled, saying: “When do we start?”

“Wait for another minute and it’ll be the best time to breakthrough today” Qin Xiao Lou answered.

Three people and a goose stood there for 1 minute.

As Gu Qing Shan walked towards the pill furnace, he felt his sleeves being pulled.

It was Xiuxiu.

“Third brother, do your best” Xiuxiu looked up, cheering for him.

“I will” Gu Qing Shan rubbed her head.

Then he jumped up directly into the pill furnace.

“Begin”

Qin Xiao Lou turned the formation plate, his hand quickly created hand signs, activating the 71 formations at the same time.

Then as he breathed out, he made some hand seals and silently activates the defensive runes inside the pill furnace.

After all of that, Qin Xiao Lou finally stepped to the left of the pill furnace.

“Where are you going?” white goose asked

“I’m guarding the left, you’re guarding the right, to look out for any Tianma that might come” Qin Xiao Lou said.

“No need”

“Why not?”

“Today you finally seem like someone capable” white goose looked at him and nodded in satisfaction, saying: “Just rest there, I’ll guard him”

“Hmph, I’m always capable”

But Qin Xiao Lou still sat down, closed his eyes and started to circulate his spirit energy.

White goose stood still in the hall, silently protecting the pill furnace.

Frontline.

In the morning, even though the three Saints spent so much time discussing, they still haven’t reached a conclusion.

Originally, after a short rest at noon, they’d continue the discussion in the afternoon.

But even after being invited a few times, Bai Hua Fairy still hasn’t left her tent.

“Could the Saint be unhappy?” One of the general asked in a low voice.

No one replied.

The entire tent was filled with high-ranked cultivators, but no one dared to say anything.

“No, she isn’t one to be unhappy just because we couldn’t reach a conclusion” a voice said.

The one who said that was a Daoist with a red face, wearing a blue Dao robe.

The red-faced Daoist was sitting on one of the three high seats, turning to the old monk besides him and asked: “Great Monk, what do you think?”

“Amitabha” the old monk smiled peacefully, clapping his hands together: “This humble one thinks that Fairy must be tending to something very important, we can wait for her”

In this world, the only people who can make this personage speak such words are the red-faced Daoist, and Bai Hua Fairy herself.

“That’s right, I also feel like she has something on her mind today” the red-faced Daoist agreed.

“It could be something that has to do with the survival of humanity, as we all know, she was the first person to discover the matter of this time”

All the great cultivators here all showed a face of understanding.

That’s right, if Fairy isn’t here, then she must be planning or arranging something meaningful, and it must be reaching a crucial point, enough that she couldn’t spare a thought.

As they thought that, they all suddenly felt a sense of gratitude.

Everyone says that Bai Hua Fairy doesn’t care about anything, but all the big matters that happened lately were all single-handedly dealt with by her.

She alone breakthrough the demon’s frontline, rescued Gong Sun Zhi and Ning Yue Xi, killed four Beast Saints, tamed one of them, and even fished out the traitor Blade Emperor.

Who else in the world could have done all those great achievements?

This is what it means to be a Saint, this is a model for all to follow!

Thinking that, even the red-faced Daoist breath out, silently thought to himself that he couldn’t compare to her.

Then he tapped the handle of his seat, saying: “We’ll just wait for a bit more”

Just like that, a tent full of humanity’s strongest fighting force patiently waited.

Inside the pill furnace, Gu Qing Shan was silently circulating spirit energy according to Bai Hua Fairy’s method, attempt to breakthrough Foundation Establishment realm.

Everything was going well, his spirit energy is already saturated, even his mental state was at its peak.

Inside the dark furnace, a dim light suddenly appeared.

The light circled behind Gu Qing Shan’s head, almost like it was a mist, then slowly concentrated into what looks like frost.

Time passed as more and more light appeared, the circle of light began to light up more and more.

After the entire circle of light was frozen into shape, it emitted a milky white light that illuminates the entire pill furnace like it was the middle of the day.

A full moon was floating behind Gu Qing Shan’s head.

This is called an illuminating light, representing this cultivator’s round of cultivation reaching its perfected state.

Note:

(1) calculating divination: there’s actually a paragraph here that details how he does it, but not only does it make no sense, it contributes nothing to the overall plot, so I’ll just leave it to your imagination. Just know that he was using the Eight-trigram method.
