This life, Gu Qing Shan hadn’t entered Worlds’ Apocalypse Online yet, he instead mysteriously obtained the War God UI.

Gu Qing Shan doesn’t need to accept the shackles of the game’s experience points anymore.

This life, he can use Soul Points to directly level up.

In later battles, when he breaks through Sainted, or perhaps even Projection, Tribulation, Virtualized, Cryptic realm…

The insane potential of a Sword Saint will finally be realized.

“Sword Saint…”

Gu Qing Shan muttered nostalgically.

He looked up at the sky.

The frigid rain was still pouring without end.

A calamity was about to come.

On the other side, once I passed through the space vortex completely, I will have arrived at a world about to meet its end.

There are no friends where I’m going, only foes that will devour me whole with the slightest of mistakes.

An extremely dire environment.

From now on, I have to get stronger as fast as possible!

Gu Qing Shan silently made a decision.

While he was thinking, a line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.

[Sword saint awakening Quest will now begin]

[You will have to complete a series of Quest to get ready and recover your prowess as sword saint]

[Quest no.1: Collect two swords]

[Quest begun]

Looking at the text on the War God UI, Gu Qing Shan understood.

One sword for attacking, one for defending.

As a sword saint, although he doesn’t necessarily have to be surrounded by countless swords, but there should be a minimum of two.

But then, don’t I already have 2 swords?

The Earth Sword and the Chao Yin Sword.

While he was thinking, the line of text on the Quest changed.

[Quest no.1: Collect two swords (completely undamaged)]

[Quest begun]

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

The Chao Yin Sword was currently heavily damaged, unsuitable for intense battles of life and death.

“Will any sword be fine?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The System responded: [Only swords that can handle your level of battle are considered swords]

Sure enough. Otherwise before when he had just returned to the past, he could’ve easily gotten back his memories after buying a random sword.

As for the current situation, there are two ways to solve this.

The first is to go directly to the other world and wait until he manages to fool them and escape from the verge of death before looking for a sword.

The second is to put effort into repairing Chao Yin Sword.

After thinking for a bit, Gu Qing Shan made his decision.

Before, I already promised the Chao Yin Sword to repair it.

As a sword cultivator, I shouldn’t break a promise with a sword spirit.

Which means, I’ll have to think of some way to repair it.

Not to mention, if I can truly grasp the full power of a sword saint before reaching that other world, my chances of survival would increase greatly.

Let’s get started.

Gu Qing Shan took out a 7-colored fragrance bag.

The entire inheritance of Bai Hua sect was in here.

Bai Hua Fairy collected quite a few scriptures for training with the 6 arts, and they were all of the highest possible quality.

There’s actually an entire forge and workshop inside the fragrance bag.

Gu Qing Shan scanned around the bag for a few seconds before he found what he was looking for.

A few jade tags teaching methods for forging swords appeared in his hand.

On the War God UI, [War God Skills] was blinking.

A few lines of notifications appeared on the War God UI.

[Discovered the following Smithing scriptures]

[Smithing general knowledge]

[The complete guide to forging a sword base and core]

[Darkfire Smithing technique]

[Flame merging treasure crafting technique]

[Sword Smithing encyclopedia]

[Finishing touches note]

[Please select the scripture you want to comprehend]

Gu Qing Shan asked: “Is there a cooldown period for learning Smithing scriptures?”

[Ting]!

The System responded: [Learning the 6 arts will not lead to the user’s power level increasing in leaps and bounds, nor will it put too much pressure on the user’s body, so there are no cooldown periods]

Gu Qing Shan happily declared: “If that’s the case, then I want to comprehend all of these scriptures”

[Comprehending all listed scriptures will require 1100 Soul Points. Would you like to spending the Soul Points?]

“Spend it!”

[The user has spent 1100 Soul Points, comprehended all Smithing scriptures listed above]

[Remaining Soul Points: 5600/300]

Wave after wave of warmth flowed from the jade tag into Gu Qing Shan’s hand before finally settling in his Thought Sea.

As there were too many scriptures, Gu Qing Shan took one incense’s worth of time before he managed to comprehend everything.

He pulled the Chao Yin Sword out and leave it hovering in the air.

The Chao Yin Sword hovered for a few seconds before flying around left and right.

It then tried flying up, then down, hovering close to the ground.

After a while, the Chao Yin Sword finally flew close to Gu Qing Shan again.

It let out a ‘wu wu’ sound.

“That’s right, this isn’t your original world” Gu Qing Shan confirmed it.

The Chao Yin Sword curiously tried to poke at the sand on the ground.

When it realized its entire shaft was sinking into the sand, it panicked and tried pulling itself out.

“No, the entire world isn’t the same as this ground here” Gu Qing Shan explained

“Since I called you out, of course there’s a very important reason”

“It’s like this, I know how to forge, but I need to take a look at you before I can be sure what kind of materials need to be used to repair you”

The Chao Yin Sword nodded with its hilt, gesturing ok.

“The materials on your world will definitely be called different names from mine. So I need you to give me all the materials’ shape and special characteristics to determine the correct one”

“Yes, after I gather all the materials, I’ll begin to repair you”

Listening to him the Chao Yin Sword excitedly rolled around in the air.

Suddenly, a glowing small fish came from the hilt and swam around in midair.

This is the sword spirit that Gu Qing Shan met before in the magma cave.

The fish swam around, came in front of Gu Qing Shan and lightly touched his forehead.

Then the fish went back inside the Chao Yin Sword.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head a bit, muttering: “So you need that much materials huh, this won’t be easy”

Hearing that, the Chao Yin Sword panicked and started flying around him.

“Don’t spin, I’m dizzy” Gu Qing Shan smiled wryly, “don’t worry, I said I’ll repair you so I’ll definitely repair you”

“No matter, all the materials of this world are still here, untouched by anybody, so there’s definitely enough”

In Reality, cultivation resources aren’t lacking compared to any other world.

But humans in Reality haven’t gotten around to using these resources yet.

Except Gu Qing Shan.

Ever since he returned to the past, every day had been a busy day fighting for survival.

Today was officially the first day he finally have the ability to unearth these resources.

He spoke, full of confidence: “I can definitely repair you, rest up first, I’ll call you when the time comes”

The Chao Yin Sword let out a chime, then went back into the void of space.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and began to check his bodily situation.

After checking, he found his presence was extremely chaotic, the spirit energy waves he emitted were fluctuating up and down constantly.

He had finished breaking through the realm, but his spirit energy was still in an agitated state.

Which means it was not a good opportunity to keep breaking through.

Gu Qing Shan then put the jade tags back into the fragrance bag.

Before he was about to put the fragrance bag away, he suddenly thought of something.

Wait a minute.

Gu Qing Shan looked back at the bag.

This bag was weaved from a 7-colored thread, unassuming at first glance, but it’s impervious to both fire and water, and is practically unbreakable.

Before, then Bai Hua Fairy saw her omens of death, she had entrusted all the inheritance to Gu Qing Shan.

All cultivation resources, including unique cultivation scriptures of Bai Hua sect were here inside this fragrance bag.

Which means, the Divine Skill [Forgetting River] was also in here?

All the 5-Elemental Divine Skills as well as Martial Thaumaturgy Divine Skills that Bai Hua Fairy is famous for should all be here!

Gu Qing Shan suddenly became very excited.

Since Shifu had entrusted everything to him, that would mean she also implied that he had permission to use anything in here.

Gu Qing Shan glanced over at the War God UI.

[Current Soul Points: 5600/300]

There’s a lot of Soul Points left.

If he doesn’t learn it now, what else was he waiting for?”

He immediately used his inner sight to search around the fragrance bag for scriptures.

After a while, Gu Qing Shan was shaking as he took out a jade tag.

As he held it in hand, notifications appeared on the War God UI.

[Huang Quan path Divine Skill: Forgetting River]

[To start cultivating this Divine Skill, the following prerequisites must be met]

[Female cultivator]

[5th stage Elemental talents]

[God’s Chosen Skill: Soul Caller]

[Secret Art: Sealed Body Yin Shift]

[Secret Art: Soul Comes Soul Goes]

[Six Path Divine Contract: Huang Quan Ferryman]

Reading through them all, Gu Qing Shan shook his head dejectedly.

He immediately didn’t quality from the very first condition.

The second condition, his Elemental talents are so-so at most.

The third is a God’s Chosen Skill, this is simply something given from birth, he can’t even train to get it if he wanted to.

The 4th, 5th and 6th conditions have their own descriptions.

[Secret Art: Sealed Body Yin Shift – You will enter a state of death, not unlike any dead body in the world]

[Secret Art: Soul Comes Soul Goes – After you die, your soul will be able to enter Huang Quan and return at will]

[Six Path Divine Contract: Huang Quan Ferryman – You’ve signed a life force contract with the Ferryman of the Forgetting River, the Ferryman represents the Law of heaven and earth, it will always answer the call of your spell]

Reading it through again, Gu Qing Shan sighed more heavily.

Apparently you need this many prerequisites just to start learning a Six Path Divine Skill.

No wonder Shifu doesn’t pass this on.

Before, when Shifu taught him [Ground Shrink], she once said: “My other spells have a lot of restrictions, as well as requiring many years of search and an Elemental root that fits, together with complicated hand seals…”

Seems like I’m not fated to learn this.

However, Shifu knows more than just one Divine Skill.

If I can’t learn this one, I’ll just check out the other Divine Skills.

Gu Qing Shan returned the jade tag and continued his search.

Following that, he found [Void Treasure Grab], [Sky Fall], [Unbreakable Mountain], even the Ashura Divine Skill [Pygmy Doro]

But all of these Divine Skills require a lot of prerequisites to learn.

The only Divine Skill that had no prerequisite was the Martial Divine Skill [Sky Fall]

But after thinking carefully, Gu Qing Shan decided not to learn it.

There are many Professionists who can cultivate more than just their main Profession.

But sword cultivators are unlike any other Profession, because asides from very few special cases, the sword highly rejects Martial Arts.

As a sword cultivator, learning even a single Martial Skill can seriously hamper their path of the sword.

For a sword cultivator, the most ideal situation was being able to learn a supportive-type Divine Skill, like [Ground Shrink] or [Shadow Shift]

The Six Path Divine Skills should be fine as well, unfortunately the prerequisite for learning them was too harsh and he was not suitable.

The Ashura Divine Skill had about 19 prerequisites.

Gu Qing Shan only glanced at them before giving up.

He put all the Divine Skill scriptures back into the fragrance bag as his desire temporarily died down.

Alright, let’s just gather the materials to fix the Chao Yin Sword first.
