Chapter 1149: A scheme

The world disappeared from in front of Gu Qing Shan.

At the same time, another world appeared and quickly unfolded in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes.

Light.

Scatter.

Heaven and earth were peaceful.

Lush green forests, clear river streams.

Gu Qing Shan found himself in the middle of a forest, standing on top of a rock by a stream.

The scenery around him was clear and ordinary.

But since this was within the divine beast Qilin’s memories, there was no way it would be just some scenery.

Gu Qing Shan silently stood still on top of the rock and waited.

Soon enough, he saw a grey wild dog leading its pack to the stream to drink water.

After quenching their thirst, they didn’t immediately leave and instead played in the meadow by the stream.

Everything was normal.

Until——-

Gu Qing Shan abruptly turned back.

An extremely beautiful woman appeared from the void of space, landing by the stream.

Countless stars were manifesting behind her, constantly emerging into existence and being destroyed.

Reneedol!

Gu Qing Shan was shocked.

He had seen the scene of her destroying the Samsara fragments back in Heaven Pillar world, but never did he think he would also see her on Mount Sumeru.

Reneedol’s appearance naturally drew the attention of the wild dogs.

Having excellent intuition, they seemed to have realized something and quickly fled into the forest.

However, no matter how desperately they ran, they remained in the exact same place, unable to move at all.

Reneedol muttered to herself: “This Mount Sumeru does not have a path to Heaven, completely different from the other cultivation worlds”

She silently pondered for a moment, then glanced at the group of wild dogs below.

“Even if I destroy the sites of Tribulation like the Yama Heavenly realm and Mount Sumeru, after some time passed, they would simply be reborn after a while”

“Destroying these worlds can truly cause them to slowly fall to ruin, but this will require me to constantly be here, which would take a lot of time…”

“Rather… I should leave these sites of Tribulation to exist, but alter them slightly”

Saying so, she blew a breath towards the wild dogs.

All of them turned to dust, vanishing from this world.

Only a single wild dog remained.

It laid flat to the ground, fearfully moaning, begging Reneedol to spare its life.

“Today is your lucky day” Reneedol suddenly smiled.

She raised her hand and lightly reached into the void of space.

A colorful cluster of glowing clouds appeared in her hand.

She looked down on the wild dog and spoke: “This is the mountain guardian Qilin that I just killed. I’ve fully unraveled its structures and understood the Laws that make up such creatures”

“Do you wish to die, or turn into the mountain guardian Qilin and live?”

The wild dog immediately lowered its head and flatteringly moaned at her.

Reneedol appeared pleased and muttered: “Turning a wild dog into a Qilin, stationing it here to stand watch and search for secrets for me, this should be quite interesting”

The colorful cluster of glowing clouds was tossed into the wild dog’s body.

The wild dog laid flat on the ground, uttering moans of pain and suffering.

A few moments later.

The wild dog’s body slowly grew, a glowing cloud that signified fortune manifested beneath its feet, followed by an extraordinary aura.

Quite visibly, it was turning into a Qilin!

The power that restrained its body was finally undone.

It lowered itself as much as possible, keeping its body close to the ground as it inched towards Reneedol and uttered a tiny flattering noise.

Reneedol pondered for a bit before ordering: “I have broken a hole through the Divine Mountain’s Law barrier, I will now bind the power of this hole to your body, using that to cancel out the Divine Mountain’s self-repairing powers”

“Listen well, you will stay here and observe in my stead, then report what state this mountain will ultimately end up in after it falls to chaos”

“But your most crucial role is to search for the path to Heaven during the Divine Mountain’s destruction”

“You must destroy the path to Heaven!”

“During the countless years after this, if someone ever comes to save this mountain, then come up with a way to kill them, but if someone wishes to destroy it… then let them. After the Divine Mountain is destroyed, you will enter the newly created Divine Mountain and continue to search for the path to Heaven”

Thinking of something, Reneedol placed her hand on top of the Qilin’s head and muttered: “Search for the path to Heaven, then destroy it. This will be the only meaning to your survival, understood?”

Some light appeared in her hand, slowly being absorbed into the Qilin’s head.

The Qilin then spoke in a human language: 「 Understood, noble Deific King 」

After she had finished arranging matters here, Reneedol slowly disappeared.

The forest, the stream, the Qilin, Reneedol, everything suddenly faded away.

The entire world was rewinding in Gu Qing Shan’s vision.

He had returned to the summit of Mount Sumeru.

Xie Dao Ling stood next to him, cautiously guarding him.

“How was it?” Xie Dao Ling asked.

“Please wait a moment, Shifu”

Gu Qing Shan’s figure flashed and appeared in front of the Qilin.

He caught the Qilin’s head in one hand and held the [True Crimson Demon Spear] in the other.

“The Divine Mountain of Sumeru had existed for countless years, gradually falling to ruin, yet it turns out the issue was with you all along”

The Qilin struggled with all its might, but as its head was being held by Gu Qing Shan, it couldn’t escape no matter how much it tried.

——Gu Qing Shan currently had the power of two dragons!

He violently pierced the [True Crimson Demon Spear] into the Qilin’s body.

At first, the spear didn’t react to the Qilin at all, but as time passed, it began to tremble.

The entire Divine Mountain was trembling.

It seemed to have been greatly angered.

A short moment later.

A vast ray of colorful light descended from above, falling into the [True Crimson Demon Spear].

This was the power of Mount Sumeru!

At this moment, it had finally discovered the source of all the destruction!

「 AARRGGHH—–」the Qilin uttered a resounding cry of pain.

Numerous colorful lights appeared on the spear before flying into the Divine Mountain.

Not too long after that, the Qilin’s body slowly shrunk until it finally became a wild dog.

The wild dog stood still, its body crumbled into dust and faded away.

Silence, all around.

The sound of loud howling wind began to echo from all over the world.

An invisible fluctuation of power had descended upon the [True Crimson Demon Spear], causing it to vibrate with increasingly high-pitched noises.

Watching this, Xie Dao Ling muttered: “The will of the Divine Mountain seems to be highly agitated, could this mountain guardian Qilin had been behind the destruction of the Divine Mountain from the beginning?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “In reality, it had always been the Wraith realm that was behind the destruction, but this Qilin was being directed by someone else, holding a deeper secret”

He explained Reneedol’s actions according to what he saw in the Qilin’s memories.

Xie Dao Ling pondered: “So, this individual called Reneedol had been constantly destroying countless worlds, could it be that she’s afraid of heavenly beings coming into existence?”

“Regardless of why she did it, from the very start, she had been standing against the Samsara” Gu Qing Shan casually replied.

The noises that the [True Crimson Demon Spear] gave off became louder and louder, almost like it was both delighted and urging him.

Gu Qing Shan slowly closed his eyes and communicated with the will of the Divine Mountain.

As time passed, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[You’ve helped the Divine Mountain discover the source of the destruction, saving it from Reneedol’s scheme]

[From this point on, the only hole in Mount Sumeru’s protection had disappeared, the Divine Mountain’s Law barrier will slowly return to normal]

[Within the Apocalypse of the infinite worlds, the path of all cultivators’ Tribulation have been opened once more]

[The Divine Mountain of Sumeru will grant you the ultimate Mahesvara Thaumaturgy in accordance to your epithet as feedback for your actions]

[Your Mahesvara Thaumaturgy: Evil Suppressor – Orange Unseen is evolving]

[Please hold the True Crimson Demon Spear tightly and wait for 10 seconds]

Gu Qing Shan then grabbed the [True Crimson Demon Spear].

“What’s the matter?” Xie Dao Ling asked.

“The Divine Mountain said that since I’ve found and eliminated the source of destruction, it is currently granting me an ultimate Mahesvara Thaumaturgy in accordance to my epithet” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Xie Dao Ling was intrigued and asked: “Oh? What was the epithet that the Dharma Gong picked out when you arrived?”

“…That is a bit hard to say”

As soon as he said that, a resounding chime came from the War God UI.

New lines of glowing text appeared:

[Your Mahesvara Thaumaturgy had finished evolving]

[In accordance with your epithet, the Divine Mountain of Sumeru had created a Mahesvara Thaumaturgy that perfectly suits you:]

[Evil Suppressor – Mountain of Orange]

[Ultimate Mahesvara Thaumaturgy]

[When you use this Thaumaturgy, you will transform into the Embodiment of Evil Suppressor]

[Embodiment of Evil Suppressor: While in the state of ‘Mountain of Orange’, all power you absorb from your surroundings will be quickly converted into your own powers, unable to be suppressed or sealed by powers similar to the Wraith seal]

[Mountain of Orange: While in this state, you will continuously absorb the scattered power of the soul from the boundless void, countless living beings, and all things in existence]

Gu Qing Shan could hardly contain his excitement.

In other words——

As long as I use this [Mountain of Orange] Mahesvara Thaumaturgy, I will be able to thoroughly convert the duo dragon power into my own, no longer affected by any sealing powers.

And it would be the same when I use the Demon Dragon’s bloodline ability in the future to convert an enemy’s power as well!

This Mahesvara Thaumaturgy is simply the perfect combination power for the Demon Dragon’s bloodline ability!

Not to mention, there was another more important ability——-

While I use [Mountain of Orange], I’ll be able to constantly absorb Soul Points from the void!

——-ever since I obtained the duo dragon power, I haven’t gained any Soul Points.

This was because, by the War God UI’s standard, I’m stronger than any of those monsters!

However, when it came to a fight of life and death in the infinite worlds, simply being stronger didn’t guarantee victory, and there were always numerous strange and unusual abilities that could completely turn the tide of battle.

That was why Gu Qing Shan still required a lot of Soul Points to perform the unimaginable sword techniques and Thaumaturgies that he possessed.

He was still a bit anxious about this issue, but never did he think that the Divine Mountain immediately granted him the most perfect Mahesvara Thaumaturgy to resolve this essential problem just because he caught the Qilin.

What a powerful Mahesvara Thaumaturgy indeed!

Xie Dao Ling had already noticed the change in Gu Qing Shan’s emotions and smiled: “Qing Shan, what kind of Thaumaturgy is it? Perhaps you should perform it so that your master can judge for herself”

Gu Qing Shan agreed right away: “Yes. This Thaumaturgy is called [Mountain of Orange], apparently a type of [Embodiment of Evil Suppressor]. I do not know what would happen when I use it either, so please take a look for me, Shifu”

He silently sensed the power he just obtained and slowly grasped how to activate it——

[Mountain of Orange], activate!

Poof!

Gu Qing Shan vanished without a trace.

What?

Where is he?

Xie Dao Ling’s expression changed for a short moment, then quickly returned to normal.

“So… is this it?”

Xie Dao Ling lightly asked as she picked up a big orange tabby cat from the ground.

…

TN: LMAO!
