Chapter 411: A crazy idea.
“Devil King? No, I’m a sword cultivator”Gu Qing Shan replied.
He felt a force moving below his feet.
The ship was rejecting his presence.
The very next moment, the ship turned into distorted waves and slowly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan found himself now standing on the platform above the Blood River Hell.
As the countless dead there saw him, they held their breaths anxiously, not wanting to get his attention.
Gu Qing Shan activated the Devil King Warden Rod to leave the Blood River Hell.
He arrived at the entrance to hell.
The dozens of Huang Quan weapons were gathered outside.
As they saw him appear, they cried out in celebration.
“Success!”
“Greeting to the Devil King!”
“Devil King! Nicely done!”
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
These weapons were still as friendly as before.
The small white bird flew over and chirped merrily: “Who would’ve thought, you’d become the Devil King! Oh my god, I want to be Devil King too!”
“You’re just a Blade” the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook reminded it.
“No, I’m a bird” the small white bird glared back at it.
“Fine, even if you are a bird, the Devil King is an existence to be feared by hell, they can’t possibly be a birdy like yourself” the shield curtly cut it short.
As if remembering something, the shield looked over to Gu Qing Shan: “I’m sorry about that, I’m not talking about you” (1)
“It’s nothing” Gu Qing Shan didn’t mind that.
It was now that the Earth sword and Chao Yin sword both appeared from thin air, circling around him nonstop.
To prevent the possibility of him being disqualified from the Devil King selection, they didn’t move a single step into hell.
? Everything went well?? ?
The Earth sword’s heavy voice asked.
“Thanks to Shannu’s help, I managed to succeed” Gu Qing Shan answered.
The Chao Yin sword also let out a ‘wu wu’ sound.
“Yeah, I’m fine” Gu Qing Shan smiled to the Chao Yin sword.
Since the 4 hells have retreated from the human realm, Gu Qing Shan could finally relax.
The crisis of the human realm was finally dealt with.
The unsolvable Frozen Hell disaster of the past life was now solved by him at the roots.
The Demon Lords and demons in Huang Quan have also been massacred completely.
The only problem left was the 7-color spear whose origins were unknown.
Remembering the 7-colored spear, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help frowning.
Using the 7-colored spear to massacre all the demons was a good plan, but now what?
The sealing talisman on the spear before was now taken off, so this terrifying spear would definitely not allow itself to be restrained by any force again.
Hmmm…
What if I just leave it on the Grand Tie Wei Mountain?
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Shannu, leaving the 7-colored spear up there would prevent the demons from trying to take over again, how about we just ignore it?”
Shannu was a bit stunned.
She then hurriedly: “It’s not that easy, if we leave it as is, Huang Quan, the human realm, even the other worlds of the Samsara would be destroyed sooner or later”
“Destroy!? It can’t be that serious?” Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
Shannu continued: “Huang Quan is the place that receives the dead of all the realms, you know this right?”
“I do” Gu Qing Shan nodded.
“If the 7-colored spear is left like that, then as the creatures of the other 5 worlds die and enter Huang Quan, they won’t be able to even reach the Forgetting River, let alone hell”
“Are you saying that they will be killed by the 7-colored spear?”
“That is indeed correct”
“But there shouldn’t be any problems, since the dead can just enter slumber in hell before waking up again”
“Since they haven’t entered hell, they aren’t recognized by any of the hells, thus the Law of hell will not be able to act upon them”
“So it’ll be an irreversible permanent death?”
“That’s right, anyone and everyone who dies will be killed again by the 7-colored spear, the perfect cycle of the 6 worlds will be broken, slowly leading to the destruction of all 6 worlds”
Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly: “So it’s that troublesome, now I feel like I’ve done something wrong”
? Those that only want immediate gratification always end up like this? ? the Earth sword commented.
Gu Qing Shan turned away, ignoring the Earth sword’s words.
“We have to think of a way to resolve this problem, otherwise Huang Quan will be the first world to collapse” Shannu spoke seriously.
“That is indeed the case, let me think about this” Gu Qing Shan started contemplating.
Everyone went silent.
The weapons all remain still, afraid that they’ll disturb his train of thought.
A while later.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
“The 7-colored spear is able to kill both Demon Lords and Divinity, so the most I could do is take advantage of it to kill the demons, I don’t have a way to clear it away” he helplessly told them.
Shannu was now panicking.
“Please think a bit more, I’m sure you’ll have a solution”
She was gritting her teeth: “Truthfully speaking, the beginning of all our troubles has always been this 7-colored spear, so please help Huang Quan”
“Very well, I’ll try to think a bit more to see if there are any solutions”
Gu Qing Shan agreed.
Since this was literally the biggest problem for the Samsara right now, he couldn’t skim any efforts.
Sitting down in the tunnel to hell, he began to think.
But the 7-colored spear was still the strongest weapon he had ever seen.
Aside from the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, no creature had ever managed to stop the spear at all.
Even at a distance of a few thousand miles away, the spear could take the life of a Divinity in one hit.
Who the hell could think of a way to deal with such a thing!
After a while.
Even after wracking his brain for solutions, Gu Qing Shan still couldn’t think of anything.
Despite how powerful the Devil King Warden Rod is, its abilities only have to do with hell, unable to affect the 7-colored spear at all.
The 7-colored spear is resting on the Grand Tie Wei Mountain…
The Grand Tie Wei Mountain…
Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled the Six Paths Great Mountain sword’s descriptions.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword has a total of 4 Thaumaturgies, [Invincible], [Law Breaker], [Living’s Wisdom] and [Divine Protector]
He already knows [Invincible], [Law Breaker] and [Living’s Wisdom].
[Divine Protector] probably is referring to the Grand Tie Wei Mountain. (2)
But what does this Thaumaturgy actually do?
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “Shannu, can you control the Grand Tie Wei Mountain?”
“That’s not possible, the Grand Tie Wei Mountain can’t be controlled by any power since it has to shield against the winds of chaotic tribulation outside”
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan was very confused.
Then what exactly is this [Divine Protector] used for?
His relationship with Shannu isn’t that of master and sword yet, they’re still getting to know and get used to each other.
If I arbitrarily ask about her abilities, it’s easy to lose the little bit of trust that we’ve just built up.
Openly asking about the weapon’s spirit Thaumaturgies is a very rude thing to do.
When he was still busy considering how to do this, Shannu had actively told him: “Since you’ve asked about this, I’ll explain it a bit to you”
“I was created from the Law of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, so only at very specific times can I control the Grand Tie Wei Mountain”
“What specific times are those?”
“When the world of Huang Quan is destroyed, or when the world of Huang Quan is born, or at the time the Laws of Huang Quan undergo great change”
“The birth of Huang Quan happened and ended years ago, so it’s not possible to take advantage of that time period anymore”
For the sake of explaining this clearly, Shannu was exceptionally patient this time around: “Once Huang Quan is destroyed, the mountain will rise from the ground, encircling the other 5 worlds to make sure they aren’t affected by the winds of chaotic tribulation”
Gu Qing Shan asked further: “Then the time when the Laws of Huang Quan undergo great chance, when is that?”
“Only when the world of Huang Quan itself is changed will you get a chance to use me and alter the Grand Tie Wei Mountain”
“When the world of Huang Quan itself is changed?”
“That’s right, since it’s not the birth nor destruction of the world, even I don’t know what kind of situation that would be like”
Following Shannu’s explanation, a few lines of glowing text appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s vision.
[You’ve discovered the 4th spirit Thaumaturgy of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword: Divine Protector]
[The Six Paths Great Mountain sword’s attributes are now complete]
[Six Paths Great Mountain sword, Worlds’ ceremonial sword, Divine Armament of Huang Quan Path]
[This sword is the manifestation of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain’s Law]
The 4 Thaumaturgies of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword: [Invincible], [Law Breaker], [Living’s Wisdom] and [Divine Protector] all appeared in details in front of Gu Qing Shan.
[Invincible: No powers of any world is capable of damage this sword’s body]
[Law Breaker: No Laws of any world is capable of affecting this sword]
[Living’s Wisdom: With your permission, Shannu will gain all your skills, abilities and knowledge, either using the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to fight for you, or fight with you by your side]
[Divine Protector: At the time of Huang Quan’s birth, destruction and great change, these three important moments, the Six Paths Great Mountain sword may control the Grand Tie Wei Mountain]
Gu Qing Shan silently stared at the final ability, [Divine Protector].
He was a bit hesitant, but also expectant.
Seeing him not speaking for a while, Shannu finally couldn’t help and ask: “Did you think of a solution?”
“I want to ask one thing, if the 7-colored spear remained as it does on the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, will the 6 worlds really be destroyed?”
“That’s right, Soul Separation Hook, what do you think?” Shannu asked.
The Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook answered: “The 7-colored spear is too powerful, it will stop all life from reincarnating, and the process of reincarnation is the central Law of the entire Samsara”
It added: “Once the Law of reincarnation collapses, so will the Samsara worlds”
“I understand” Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He lowered his head again, falling into thought.
As the weapons looked, they saw that he was fully concentrated, closing his eyes and losing himself in contemplation.
A long time later.
Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice: “There are no more Divinities in Huang Quan, if I leave it as is, it will be attacked again by the demons sooner or later”
“If Huang Quan is attacked again, then we’ll have another troublesome battle on our hands”
Shannu added: “Not only that, but since the demons were able to create the 7-colored spear, they might be able to reclaim it again after a while”
That’s right, the demons might have a way to reclaim that terrifying weapon.
If they happen to throw that thing into the human realm…
Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan felt so anxious he couldn’t sit still.
With every last bit of grey matter he could muster, he was contemplating, until a wild idea popped up in his mind.
“If that’s the case, then…”
He sighed, using his hand to cover his forehead.
“What’s going on? Are you ok?” Shannu hurriedly asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I have an idea, it might be a bit crazy, no, it’s very crazy”
“What idea is it? As long as we can deal with the 7-colored spear, I will support you with everything I have” Shannu spoke with determination.
“Then please tell me, where are the 5 Elemental roots of Huang Quan?”
Note:
(1) Birdy: the Chinese slang for a newcomer or amateur in anything is “young birdy”
(2) Divine Protector: I shortened it to keep it from being a mouthful, but the original name is actually “Divine Mountain that protects the world”
