Chapter 444 - Silent System



Proofreader: Arya

The lightning glittered like stars in the sky.

Millions of stars, whirling around in the space vortex.

Standing at the eye of the storm, Gu Qing Shan raised his sword.

Sword phantoms erupted to strike at the stars.

Stars fell like rain.

Such a treatment seemingly angered the stars.

Each star grew to become a large monster of lightning, filling the inside of the tribulation formation with blue light.

Gu Qing Shan tried slashing one of them

—–boom!

The lightning scattered into countless lightning snakes coming at him.

Without much time to prepare, Gu Qing Shan turned into a blinding white crescent moon, slashing forward.

As the white crescent moon slashed through all the lightning snakes, he reappeared at the other side of the formation.

The Chao Yin sword vibrated worriedly.

“That’s right, I didn’t think it would be so hard to deal with either” Gu Qing Shan replied as he stared at the multitudes of layers of lightning.

There were too many of them, and each was stronger than any lightning he ever saw before.

After being destroyed, the streaks of lightning could even scatter into lightning snakes that attacked a second time.

Countless cultivators fall under this barrage of attacks.

This was the Sainted realm tribulation.

In the entire cultivation world, only the three Saints managed to pass it.

Over a hundred streaks of lightning came at him at the same time.

As if sentient, they were circling around Gu Qing Shan, looking for an opening.

But Gu Qing Shan didn’t wait for them to attack and took the initiative himself.

“Go!”

A sword phantom flashed and disappeared.

The Chao Yin sword attack caused all the streaks of lightning to explode.

The very next moment, countless lightning snakes fell down on him like a tsunami.

Looking at the tsunami of lightning, the Earth sword suddenly commented: 「 Didn’t you forget something? 」

“What?”

「 You forgot your equipment 」

Gu Qing Shan face-palmed himself.

——I actually went silly from being busy.

A second later, a full plate for golden armor was donned on his body.

He also switched his War God title to [You Ji General]

Just like that, both his speed and defense increased.

Receiving the tsunami of lightning, Gu Qing Shan slashed them away.

His movements were quick and efficient, not wasting a single breath or showing any hesitation.

For a short while, his sword phantoms were practically weaved together.

Gu Qing Shan decided to just entered the lightning formation directly and used Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow]

One time.

Three times.

Ten times!!

He activated it a total of ten times.

The sword phantoms erupted, slashing through all the gathering lightning in this area of the space vortex.

The lightning then split into electric snakes that went after Gu Qing Shan in a frenzy.

Gu Qing Shan was using his full power with all his Secret Arts.

The sword phantoms flowed like a torrent or a wave crashing down on itself.

Two strikes of [Torrent] interweaved, forming a giant tsunami that swallowed the lightning whole.

The tsunami was screaming as it crashed down.

Everything in the void of space was decimated.

This was the decisive strike.

Following this exchange, less and less lightning appeared in from the void of space to attack.

The pressure Gu Qing Shan felt was slowly decreasing, until no more lightning appeared.

Gu Qing Shan waited for a bit more.

Sure enough, no monsters or Tianma showed up at all.

A line of glowing text showed up on the War God UI.

[Sainted realm tribulation, completed]

Gu Qing Shan’s spirit energy began to rise.

This was an exponential increase unlike anything ever before.

He was now a Sainted realm cultivator.

Closing his eyes, Gu Qing Shan silently felt the change inside his body.

His maximum Soul Points became 400.

His spirit energy doubled.

His lifespan increased to 1800 years.

His thoughts became clearer than ever before——– as if his previous mind was always clouded.

He began to mysteriously sense a few things about the world, particularly a faint feeling of what consequences his previous actions would result in.

This was his power increasing enough for him to feel close to reaching a Law or Mystery.

As time passed, the mystical feeling also started to go away.

“Sainted realm…”

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

Finally, I’ve reached a height that I never could in my previous life.

Taking out the tag, Gu Qing Shan infused it with spirit energy and flung it towards the formation.

A second later, he was transported back to the Suspended world.

The meeting platform.

Qi Yan’s expression slightly twitched as he opened his eyes and stood up.

Seeing that, Zhao Wu Chui couldn’t help but ask: “Where are you going?”

“My disciple” Qi Yan answered.

Zhao Wu Chui was surprised.

“How could the Sainted realm lightning tribulation be that fast? Unless he failed——- it couldn’t be, with that brat’s strength…”

He released his inner sight to scan across the entire floating island.

With his vast and overwhelming inner sight at Virtualized realm, he found Gu Qing Shan almost immediately.

The spirit energy waves on Gu Qing Shan’s body was sure enough different from before.

Unable to believe it, Zhao Wu Chui observed him again with his inner sight.

He really did advance to Sainted realm.

Zhao Wu Chui was speechless.

After a while, he sighed: “The young can’t be underestimated”

Gu Qing Shan started to fly towards Qi Yan’s villa.

While flying, he glanced at the War God UI.

I shouldn’t wait anymore and just deal with this now.

“System, I want to use the Special Quest reward to complete the Sainted realm War God thaumaturgy mission right away” Gu Qing Shan said.

[Ting]!

[Special Quest: Wu San must die. Quest reward: Choose one Quest and immediately complete it]

[Following your request, this reward will be used to receive the Sainted realm War God thaumaturgy]

[Quest reward used]

[The System is currently connecting to the world origin to receive the thaumaturgy]

[Please wait]

The System went silent.

Even after Gu Qing Shan waited for a while, the System didn’t say anything else.

During that time, he had already made it back to Qi Yan’s villa.

Wan Er was waiting for him in front.

“Has my master not returned yet?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I’m here”

From above, Qi Yan brought Qing Rou flying back.

The four of them went back inside.

Inside the villa.

Qi Yan’s appearance slowly changed and turned into an indifferent looking blue-dress girl.

“Congratulations, gongzi, you’ve advanced to Sainted realm” Shannu said

“How’s the situation on your side?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I acted like you told me and directly went into meditation to heal, the man named Zhao Wu Chui didn’t suspect anything”

“That’s good to hear” Gu Qing Shan sighed from relief.

“What do we do now?” Shannu asked.

“We change back, you become me, and I’ll become Qi Yan” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Shannu nodded and used [Mystery of All Beings Equal]

In a split second, she turned into Gu Qing Shan again.

The only difference is that this time ‘Gu Qing Shan’ was already a Sainted realm cultivator.

The stronger Gu Qing Shan was, the stronger Shannu became.

This was the effect of her ability [Living’s Wisdom]

Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag, took out another vial of genetic modification drug and injected himself.

His appearance slowly changed to that of Qi Yan.

Truthfully, Shannu’s personality was just too cold, even if she had Gu Qing Shan’s mastery of the acting skills, she couldn’t use it as well as Gu Qing Shan could.

To be natural and calm in front of the two Hallmasters as well as being capable of making quick decisions required more than just basic acting skills.

That was why when it comes to the two Hallmasters, Gu Qing Shan didn’t dare to leave it all to Shannu.

He could only do it himself.

“Good, now we have to go to the meeting platform right away to prevent changes from getting out of hand” Gu Qing Shan said.

Qing Rou once again opened the door as the four of them left in order.

Gu Qing Shan glanced over the War God UI.

The entire UI was silent without a single sound.

How strange.

This had never happened before.

What’s going on with the System?

Back when he received the skill [Shadow Shift], the System had also connected to Shen Wu world’s origin.

That time the available skills showed up right away.

So what happened to the System now?
