BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1124 - A Letter
Chapter 1124: A Letter
The secret passage to the Dusty World.
Two men in yaksha masks descended from above, standing on top of the jagged rocky ground.
They searched the surroundings and soon found what they were looking for.
“Is it over there?” one of them asked.
“Yes, the Heavenly King had chosen its master and revealed where its real body had been suppressed” the other person replied.
The first person spoke emotionally: “With this Divine Armament returned to us, our Wraith realm would no longer have to worry about gaining victory against the Abyss!”
The two of them reached a desolate location and looked towards a wall.
One of them reached their hand out to press against the rocky surface.
Rumble rumble!
The rock wall slowly opened.
While the inside was empty, tens of thousands of stone heads showed themselves in front of the two wraiths.
These heads displayed furious expressions on their faces, hovering and spinning in the void of space.
They neatly arranged themselves while exuding an unknown force that caused the heart to unknowingly beat faster.
“Suppression of Ten Thousand Heads, forbidding deities and wraiths alike”
“Hm, these Occultism rocks were actually able to open the path to a different space entirely, how admirably terrifying”
The two of them looked down at the area below the stone heads.
A pale longbow was being suppressed by the stone heads, pinned to the ground, unable to move.
This was one of the two great Divine Armaments of the Wraith realm, the Bow of Mara!
This bow was the Heavenly King Mara’s true form!
One of them was surprised: “When the Heavenly King Mara came to us, there were 80,000 Hex Ghosts that followed, where are those Hex Ghosts’ true forms?”
The other person replied: “The master said that when the Bow of Mara is drawn, a Hex Ghost would manifest as an arrow that would always hit its target”
“——that’s why all 80,000 Hex Ghosts are actually attached to the string of the bow, we only need to bring this entire bow back”
The first person was startled and nodded: “Right, let us get to work. Take out those Divine Armaments and arrange them according to the method, we need to rescue the Heavenly King’s true form as soon as possible”
The other person stood still, apparently recalling something.
His companion asked in confusion: “What’s with you?”
It was now that the other person sighed: “I heard that there exists a Mountain God in the Huang Quan realm, it’s a pity that the Huang Quan realm we rule over doesn’t have such a Deity”
“What’s so special about that Mountain God?”
“If that Deity was here, they would only need to wield the Divine Armament manifested from the Grand Tie Wei Mountain and simply take the Bow of Mara out”
“Huh?” his friend was intrigued and asked: “Can that Divine Armament ignore this Suppression of Ten Thousand Heads formation?”
“Yeah, legends has it that the Divine Armament manifestation of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain is able to break all Laws, but that’s nothing but a rumor, we haven’t been able to confirm it”
“If that really is the case, that’s very impressive”
After talking, the two of them slowly focused their thoughts and began to arrange the means to procure the Divine Armament.
The two of them took out over a dozen Divine Armaments, arranging them into a formation.
Time slowly passed.
While they were completely focused on their work, a figure suddenly appeared behind them.
This figure silently arrived without any presence or sound, simply stood there silently and watched the two of them.
They eventually finished arranging the formation.
They activated the formation, used the power of the dozen Divine Armaments, and finally formed a weak resonance with the Suppression of Ten Thousand Heads formation.
A few moments later, the Suppression of Ten Thousand heads formation opened up a very small gap.
“Come!” one of them shouted.
The pale bow shot up with a ‘sha’, using that gap to fly out.
While the two wraiths were glad, that bow was tightly grabbed by another’s person’s hand.
“This is the Bow of Mara? Why isn’t the weapon spirit here?”
A curious female voice asked.
No one responded.
The two wraiths stood there, unable to move.
The female voice spoke again: “I’ve just returned with disappointment from the Giant of Beginning’s place, who would’ve thought that I would run into this unexpected benefit here?”
As she turned the bow over in her hand, it vanished.
“Very well, I shall gradually reconsider the matter of the weapon spirit, since this bow is now mine”
Saying so, the figure slowly left.
The two wraiths were still unable to move.
They stood still, blood seeping from the pores on their skin, gradually dying their entire bodies red, like humanoid puppets made from red wax.
Even much later, when the Wraith realm sent other people, they were found to remain absolutely still here.
After taking the bow, that figure continued moving forward deeper into the secret passage.
Soon, she reached the location where a battle had previously occurred.
The Starlight Empire war base.
She didn’t immediately fly through and instead landed on top of the base.
“The scent of death... how strange, could someone have come here?”
She muttered.
Following her whispers, an image manifested itself from the void of space, displaying what had happened in the past for her to see.
Su Xue Er fought against the two Deities.
Gu Qing Shan returned.
The two worlds overlapped.
Gu Qing Shan summoned the dead people to mess up Huang Quan.
The army of pixies arrived.
The group promised to see one another again, Su Xue Er entered the base while Gu Qing Shan left while piloting a ship.
——-she silently watched until the very last moment.
All the images then disappeared.
“That girl called Su Xue Er, is she right under my feet?”
She spoke up again, her voice didn’t seem to contain any emotions.
After that, a holy light illuminated the darkness, revealing her beautiful and pure visage.
The Sacred Chant Angel, Frost.
She looked down at the outside of the base, her gaze constantly moving about.
It was as if she was able to see through the metal and observe the inside of the base.
“Found you”
Her body turned incorporeal as she went through the outer layer of metal and entered the base.
While maintaining her incorporeal form, the Sacred Chant Angel continued flying forward until she reached Su Xue Er’s location.
This was a large transparent incubation chamber.
Su Xue Er was sleeping inside, floating in a fetal position.
Numerous tubes were attached to her body, countless sprites of light that were constantly being absorbed into her body.
The Sacred Chant Angel observed for a while and muttered: “Technological artifacts, makes me sick just by looking at it”
Saying so, she reached her hand towards Su Xue Er and spoke in a cruel tone: “Gu Qing Shan will surely be mine, you, on the other hand, should disappear from this world”
Another female voice suddenly sounded from behind her: [I can’t care who you are, if you try to harm her, the one who’s going to disappear is you]
The Sacred Chant Angel stopped.
She turned around to look at the other party.
“Who are you?” she questioned.
[The one you can take your life] the other party replied.
The Sacred Chant Angel observed that person with a startled gaze.
She then turned to the black handgun in her hand and mocked: “With just that thing?”
[You can give it a try] the other party coldly replied.
The Sacred Chant Angel noticed the implications in her voice and didn’t say anything in response.
More holy light manifested from every direction.
They formed a total of 73 visions.
Each vision displayed the scene of the two of them fighting one another.
Within 43 of those visions, the Sacred Chant Angel and the other party ended in mutual destruction; while the other 30 visions showed her being heavily injured and the other party dead.
In one breath’s worth of time, all the visions vanished like they had never appeared.
The Sacred Chant Angel casually said: “If this base does not contain so many weapons of total destruction, you wouldn’t be able to do anything to me”
The other party replied: [But we are currently inside this base, and I can kill you at any moment I wish]
The Sacred Chant Angel scoffed: “Are you really not afraid to die? I refuse to believe that you’d choose to kill yourself with me!”
The other party curtly answered: [Of course I’m not afraid, and I know that you definitely are afraid of death]
The Sacred Chant Angel was in disbelief and stared closely at her: “How are you so sure of yourself?”
The other party replied: [I had time to prepare, you did not]
The Sacred Chant Angel’s body trembled slightly.
As an entity who had lived for numerous years, she naturally understood what Technological-type life forms were capable of.
So she could only remain silent.
After a while, she whispered: “I hate technology”
The other party didn’t respond and simply pointed a handgun at her.
The Sacred Chant Angel had no choice but to give up, preparing to leave this place.
Before leaving, she suddenly replied: “Your name, tell me”
The other party answered: [Impartial Goddess]
The Sacred Chant Angel shook her head and said: “I didn’t ask for your title, I wanted to know your name”
Impartial Goddess kept her mouth shut and didn’t give her an answer.
The Sacred Chant Angel seemed to think that she had understood something, laughed sarcastically, and said: “Coward, are you an evil creature or something? Otherwise, why don’t you even have the courage to give your name?”
Saying so, she immediately vanished.
Impartial Goddess stood still in silence.
[My name...] she muttered.
The Sacred Chant Angel left without turning back, quickly made her away out of the war base, and raised both hands into the air.
A giant hammer manifested from white light appeared in her hands.
——now that I’ve left the base, I’m no longer under her threat!
“Die!” she maliciously declared.
The giant hammer was thrown straight at the war base without hesitation
In that split second, the war base suddenly vanished.
Such a giant base disappeared without a trace in less than a second, completely unbelievable.
The Sacred Chant Angel scowled.
She waved her hand.
The hammer of light turned back into countless sprites of light that returned to her body.
“Gu Qing Shan’s... woman, and a guardian who won’t even gave their name”
She pondered for a while, then muttered to herself: “This can’t do, he has the Twine of Cloud Atlas, as well as the power of Occultism. He must belong to none other but me, I definitely can’t let any other woman take him”
“That’s right, I’m going to find him and unify with him!”
She abruptly grabbed something from the void of space.
A mass of aura was held in her hand.
“...He gave my power to the Giant of Beginning... fortunately, there’s still this”
——this was a mass of Gu Qing Shan’s aura that she collected while Gu Qing Shan was dispelling her curse.
The Sacred Chant Angel hesitated for a while before spreading this aura in front of herself.
She started to write something on the aura with her finger.
After she finished, she chanted a long incantation and lightly blew on the aura.
“Do, regardless of where he is, by the power of Occultism, this letter will arrive in front of him”
The aura quickly melted into the void of space and vanished.
While the Sacred Chant Angel silently stood still in wait.
...
On the other side.
Gu Qing Shan was flying through the air.
He was following a few cultivators, who were also here to breakthrough, towards Heavenly Pillar city.
All of a sudden, he stopped.
“Ah, gentlemen, please go ahead, I have something to take care of, I’ll catch up soon” Gu Qing Shan called out.
“Keep in mind, you must enter the city before sundown!” one of the cultivators loudly reminded him.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
The other cultivators left first.
Gu Qing Shan stood still.
His three swords also appeared from the void of space.
「 What’s the matter? 」the Earth sword asked with a resounding voice.
“A sort of special sensation, it’s as if something that belongs to me is trying to find me again” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Something that belongs to you?” Luo Bing Li asked doubtfully.
The Chao Yin sword also gave off a curious ‘wuu’.
“It’s here!” Gu Qing Shan said.
The void of space immediately broke open as a mass of invisible aura appeared.
“Huh?” Gu Qing Shan called out in surprise.
Because he noticed that this aura belonged to him.
This aura hovered in front of Gu Qing Shan and manifested as glittering light.
The light gradually reformed as a letter
He and his three swords got closer to read the letter.
The letter contained a message written in the Holy Heaven’s language, the general gist of it was to show that the Sacred Chant Angel had written this letter: she felt grateful to Gu Qing Shan for saving her, so now that she had fully recovered, she had nothing to do, and that she was willing to come to Gu Qing Shan and fight along his side.
At the end of the letter, the Sacred Chant Angel left a summoning incantation.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan chanted his incantation, she would arrive at Gu Qing Shan’s summon.
——-she expressed clearly that she was ready to fight, and was waiting for Gu Qing Shan to summon her.
Gu Qing Shan and his three swords finished the letter.
The Earth sword commented: 「 That woman is very powerful, and a rare person aside from yourself who holds the power of Occultism. Your current situation is unpredictable, so perhaps it might be a good idea to ask for her help 」
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “No need”
Luo Bing Li’s doubtful voice resounded from the Heaven sword: “You’re refusing such a good helper? Why?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I think something isn’t quite right—- my spirit sense is giving off an adverse reaction”
Luo Bing Li was in disbelief: ” You’re refusing her for such an unclear, obscured reason? Wait, Earth sword, was that angel actually very ugly?”
「 That’s not the case at all 」the Earth sword shook its body and spoke in an obscured tone: 「 In layman term, both her figure and face were the ultimate fantasy of many human males—– and she’s quite the holy one as well, tch 」
Luo Bing Li understood.
The Heaven sword circled around Gu Qing Shan like it was evaluating Gu Qing Shan.
“You... are you sick somewhere? If you are, you need to cure it quickly, don’t drag it out” Luo Bing Li told him out of concern.
“I’m not sick” Gu Qing Shan answered beyond any doubts: “No need to mention this any longer, I have an eerie sensation regarding her, and I trust my intuition”
“Then, you’re not going to respond at all?”
“Not a single word”
Luo Bing Li worriedly thought: “She’s still waiting for you to summon her, so if you do that, you might offend her”
The Earth sword also commented: 「 This is a very powerful woman—– if you refuse to summon her, how do you intend on explaining if you ever meet again in the future? 」
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the letter in his hand, pondered a bit, and replied: “I can’t read”
