Chapter 1736 Gu Qing Shan the Wraith

Translator: La009

Standing on top of the mountain range, Gu Qing Shan’s vision reached far into the distance.

Wild jagged rocks could be seen in every direction.

Some of the rocks appeared humanoid, others looked completely disfigured, but also monstrous at the same time.

The rocks simply stood there as if ready to brave another eon to come, silently bearing witness to the barren wasteland.

As he looked up, he saw the towering peaks of the mountain range that reached far beyond his vision, seemingly extending into unknown heights.

Looking down, the foot of the mountain range was also covered in fog and clouds, making it impossible to discern where things began and where they ended.

ene this is the Wraith realm’s shelter?

The Human realm’s shelters were dormant Wrought Iron Giants.

The Beast King realm’s shelter was some sort of giant beast’s leftover corpse.

aan– while the Wraith realm’s shelter was simply a towering giant mountain range?

The good news is that the most powerful monster isn’t here!

Did I happen to arrive when it was still in slumber?

—-do I really have such good luck?

Gu Qing Shan was silently surprised at himself.

But he didn’t try to investigate the mountain range’s secrets right away and instead stood still.

According to his previous experiences, it was necessary to verify one’s identity whenever one entered a Samsara shelter.

Gu Qing Shan had been forcefully evicted from the Human realm’s Wrought Iron Giant, and once more from the Beast King realm’s shelter.

It wasn’t until he imitated a corpse that he managed to remain within the Beast King realm’s shelter.

wannnnn Chosen Saints who don’t originate from a shelter’s realm would always be evicted from those shelters.

ane but the Wraith realm’s shelter wouldn’t evict me, right?

Gu Qing Shan silently waited while being deep in thought.

A few moments later.

Sha sha sha sha——–

It’s here!

As the gravel under his feet gradually turned loose, Gu Qing Shan looked down, only to see a long boney claw had reached out from underneath.

The boney claw was holding up a transparent shiny piece of jade.

“This is… for me?”

Gu Qing Shan asked.

The boney claw moved slightly down, then up again, seemingly to nod at him.

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze towards the piece of jade.

Only to see some text written on the jade:

[Area No.9100]

What does that mean?

Gu Qing Shan accepted the jade.

The jade suddenly began to give off rays of light that projected themselves into the void of space to form a picture.

The picture displayed the place of the Qilin’s death.

Countless heavenly beings stood to cover the sky, while the blade-armed Heavenly Devourer Gu Insect was standing on the ground.

“This is… a real-time scene of area No.91002” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The boney claw moved slightly again, once again nodding at him.

Gu Qing Shan turned his attention toward the projected picture.

Only to see the Heavenly Devourer Gu Insect loudly declaring: [ Do not fret! When | fought against that individual earlier, I had secretly released Soul Tracing Powder:

whereabouts after being marked by Soul Tracing Powder unless they leave this world or they are dead J

Gu Qing Shan scowled.

Unless I leave the Elements War Zone or die, I won’t be able to conceal my whereabouts?

Being able to covertly use a tracking technique without me noticing, this humanoid insect monster really is impressive, no wonder it alerted even the Delimitation Divine Sword.

Among the heavenly beings, a heavenly official flew forward and gave his orders:

“Hurry and point us to his whereabouts, we’re going to pursue and eliminate him!”

[ Then I shall trigger the Soul Tracing Powder now—- J the Heavenly Devourer Gu Insect said.

After observing to this point, Gu Qing Shan stopped.

He coldly sneered——

Thud!

He had dropped dead.

an— [Govern Spirit]

Unless I die, I wouldn’t be able to escape their pursuit.

Then there’s no other choice but to die once and see how well that works.

Gu Qing Shan’s dead body laid motionlessly on the ground.

In the projected picture, the Heavenly Devourer Gu Insect rapidly vibrated its wings and uttered a high-pitched noise.

An invisible, distorted fluctuation began to radiate from its body.

All the heavenly beings stood around it, silently waiting for the results.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The Gu insect opened its eyes and spoke: [ I can’t find his whereabouts, the Soul Tracing Powder has completely lost its effects! J

“Useless bug” the heavenly official scoffed in disdain: “Can you feel if he is dead, or if he had left the Elements War Zone?”

The humanoid insect’s expression became grim and scoffed back: [ Why don’t you go and investigate it yourself J

The heavenly official angrily rebuked him: “Huang Quan has yet to be accessible, how am I supposed to investigate? Don’t you at least have an idea?”

The humanoid insect answered: [ It’s unlikely that he’s dead, his combat skills are exceptional, if our powers hadn’t been sealed, all of you here would still not be enough for him to kill

the Elements War Zone ]

nobody would be able to conceal their

I suspect that he had left

The heavenly official’s expression was unsure, then gave an order to someone behind him: “Report this to the Human realm, tell them that the successor of the Wraith realm has shown himself, order all the Chosen

Saints within the realm to quickly go after his head!”

“Sir, yes sir!”

The heavenly beings shouted out in unison.

The Heavenly Devourer Gu Insect didn’t bother saying anything else to the heavenly beings, simply cutting open a colorful streak of light with its blade arm before walking inside.

an— it had left.

As soon as it did, Gu Qing Shan sat up from the ground.

“Ah, thank you very much, | didn’t think I’d receive such protection as soon as I came here”

He clasped his fist towards the boney claw.

The boney claw tilted downwards and began writing words on the ground:

[Head to the foot of the mountain]

Gu Qing Shan read it and asked: “Why should I head towards the foot of the mountain?”

The boney claw wrote a reply: [Because the entrance is below]

“l understand, I’ll head down right away” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Hearing him say that, the boney claw shrunk back into the mountain range and disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan silently took note.

That boney claw seemed to be able to monitor the situation outside as it wished.

What exactly is it?

Gu Qing Shan quickly proceeded towards the foot of the mountain on the rocky, uneven side of the mountain.

After a short while.

He reached the foot of the mountain.

The ground was covered in fog, making it impossible to see anything within the mountain valley.

Gu Qing Shan tried reaching his hand forward, only to find that the fog was already so thick that not even his hand was visible.

Such a thick layer of fog is…

Suddenly, a shrill voice spoke up:

[ That’s right, with such a thick layer of fog, nobody from any of the other Samsara realms would be able to locate the true entrance into the Wraith realm’s shelter J

“Your grace, you are?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[ You don’t need to care about who | am, what you should be concerned about right now is to find the entrance so that you can enter the shelter J] the voice answered.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression became solemn and clasped his fist: “Your grace, the Chosen Saints of the Beast King realm were able to directly enter their shelter without issue, so why do I have to go through a trial even

though I’m already the final successor of the Wraith realm?”

The voice suddenly became irritated and answered him: [ You don’t understand anything, the Wraith realm was completely different from the other Samsara realms, its requirements had always been exceptionally

high, and you must begin it now—– J

What else could Gu Qing Shan say?

“Very well” he answered.

The fog around him suddenly became even thicker.

Some faint echoing voices could be heard from the distance.

As if countless female voices were lightly humming a melody from a distant world.

Sel the Tianma!

There are no mistakes, this is the voice of the Tianma.

Gu Qing Shan silently waited for the trial to begin.

Suddenly, another voice echoed in his ears: [ This is the Six Heavenly Tianma Aria, Gu Qing Shan, hurry up and run! J

LiAn!

How am I hearing Li An’s voice right now!?

Gu Qing Shan was shocked and quickly asked: “You shouldn’t be able to enter this place, why—– ”

[ 1 am indeed not here, but I’ve left some powers on you so that I can always sense your real-time state! J] Li An answered.

“How strange, didn’t it say this was a trial? What should I do?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[ This is no trial! This is a Tianma soul-devouring melody, an exceptionally potent one—– the other party is clearly going straight for your throat:

to suddenly drop dead and think of a way to escape this place! J Li An urged him with an anxious tone.

“Got it!”

Gu Qing Shan was about to act right away, but then noticed an issue.

The fog is too thick.

The path from which I came earlier is already gone.

I have no idea where I should run at all.

The faint echoing female voices were growing increasingly louder and more rapid, rousing an increasingly more ominous sensation…

Should I use [Govern Spirit] right now?

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze towards the fog, only to see something faintly moving within, seemingly floating or hovering to surround him.

A heavy shadow of death was approaching him.

[ Stop, stand still and don’t move, the trial is about to be over J the shrill voice from earlier resounded again.

I’m not going to buy your bullshit!

Arcs of lightning began to radiate from Gu Qing Shan’s body as he has decided to ignore everything and find a direction to head towards first.

The shrill voice continued to call out: _[ Come, come, the final moments are upon us, your trial is about to—— J

Gu Qing Shan had stopped listening to it completely and leapt into action.

Gu Qing Shan! You need to flee while also using the power
