Chapter 463: Soul Reading

Translated by: La0o9

“How did you know about the split soul!”

Tian Shan Ye asked in disbelief.

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan also felt a bit relieved.

“Because I’ve seen it before” he slowly answered.

In the previous life, up until both worlds were destroyed, no one had even seen another world.

Humanity understood nothing, even thinking that the word “Worlds” referred to Reality and the cultivation world.

How ridiculously naïve!

Being able to redo everything again, he had seen more worlds than before, got to know the people of those worlds, and even began to touch upon the secret between worlds.

All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan realized just how important knowledge and understanding was.

Not too long ago, he saw Hazeden not hesitating to split his soul in order to save Soft Note.

He used 10,000 years and managed to restructure his card deck.

While Tian Shan Ye managed to ignore the iron-clad rule of the sword rejecting the practice of all other weapons, becoming an top-level expert in both the sword and the Blade.

If Gu Qing Shan had never seen Hazeden, he would definitely be just as confused as the other cultivators of this world, unable to understand how such a thing was achieved.

During his brief contact with Tian Shan Ye, as his plan and scheme revealed itself, Gu Qing Shan slowly had a thought that he might have a main and secondary soul.

That was the only possible way for a sword cultivator to cultivate another weapon.

All the clues pointed to that possibility.

And finally it was confirmed.

The cultivator Tian Shan Ye knew how to do the same thing as Hazeden!

But one contradiction to this was, according to the records and history of this world, there had never been a case of someone splitting their own soul before.

This was what confused Gu Qing Shan the most.

Besides the split soul, Tian Shan Ye mentioned that the realm demon might have another secret.

These mysteries successfully riled Gu Qing Shan’s sense of curiosity.

Wang Hong Dao and Tian Shan Ye’s souls were both trapped inside Wang Hong Dao’s severed head right now.

Gu Qing Shan took hold of Wang Hong Dao’s head, wanted to use Soul Reading.

“Be careful gongzi, let me do it” Shannu hurriedly spoke.

“Why?”

“So far, dealing with the people of this world required utmost caution every step of the way, even if there’s some sort of spell that we don’t know about, at least it won’t affect me” Shannu answered.

“You’re right”

Gu Qing Shan thought what she said made sense so he threw the head to Shannu.

Shannu was naturally unaffected by any and every spell.

Catching it, she used Soul Reading while the souls were still inside the head.

Gu Qing Shan told her: “When you use Soul Reading, disregard everything that happened in the last 1000 years, try to look for the reason that everything happened, start at the period when Wang Hong Dao killed Tian Shan Ye”

“Yes, gongzi” Shannu answered.

She began to do it.

“Aargghhh!”

Wang Hong Dao’s head started to scream.

“”Let me go, I’ll tell you everything””

He was speaking with a combined tone of two people.

Gu Qing Shan refused: “I don’t believe a single word that comes out of you couple of master and disciple’s mouth”

Seeing no hope left, Wang Hong Dao suddenly broke out into frenzied laughter.

“You killed me… but so what! The people of this world will all have to die, none of you are ever getting away!”

His agonizing screams suddenly stopped.

In Shannu’s hands, all his preparations were useless.

So after struggling for so long, he simply died.

Wang Hong Dao eyes were opened wide from unwillingness, greedily staring at the world.

His mouth opened wide, all his facial muscles were cramped, obviously expressing a mad desire to live on.

Two souls that were equally grudgeful departed from this world at the exact same time in the exact same way.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

“The people of this world will all have to die?”

He muttered these words, slowly figuring out what they meant.

He had a sudden feeling of unease.

Truthfully, this feeling had always been present, but only now did it become clear.

“What did you find out?” Gu Qing Shan asked Shannu.

Shannu slowly closed her eyes, answering him: “Gongzi, there’s too many things that happened, I need some time to arrange my thoughts”

“Alright, there’s something I have to deal with now as well”

Gu Qing Shan looked down at his chest.

The Corpse King Blade was still lodged in his chest, but due to being prepared beforehand, he managed to avoid the vitals.

And now, he had to pull it out.

Two figures quickly came flying.

Qing Rou and Wan Er.

After the large-scale quarantine formation resumed its function, the two of them began running here as fast as possible.

The two girls landed in front of Gu Qing Shan and Shannu.

They were both stunned, staring at the head in Shannu’s hand.

“A Cryptic realm cultivator…” Qing Rou muttered blankly.

“Kill by a Sainted realm cultivator!” Wan Er whispered.

They couldn’t contain their surprise and opened their mouths wide, unable to digest what was right before their eyes.

A few seconds later, their gazes fell back on Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan’s chest was stabbed with a Blade, currently attempting to pull it out.

The two girls exchanged looks.

They both saw the uneasy look in each other’s eyes.

Qing Rou suddenly step forward, leaning her entire body on Gu Qing Shan and spoke with a suggestive voice: “Gongzi, you’re so awesome”

Wan Er also came and purred: “Gongzi, you have to bring us with you everywhere later on”

Gu Qing Shan carefully avoided their bodies with a troubled look on his face: “There’s no need to be that way”

Seeing his reaction, the girls finally stepped back.

“It’s him” Qing Rou concluded.

“That’s right, the same spring chicken” Wan Er also muttered.

“…” Gu Qing Shan.

“You can’t blame us for this” Qing Rou sighed as she explained to Gu Qing Shan.

“This really can’t be helped, we were afraid that you were taken over by someone” Wan Er followed up.

Even after making sure that he was Gu Qing Shan, they still felt like they were dreaming.

When Gu Qing Shan cooperated with the Tianma and used a scheme to kill Qi Yan was already an unbelievably impossible feat.

But now, he alone killed the strongest man in Guang Yang sect, the Cryptic realm Wang Hong Dao.

As a top-level schemer, Wang Hong Dao has never gotten defeated so thoroughly.

But before Gu Qing Shan, his only defeat became his death.

However, they rarely saw Gu Qing Shan scheme for anything at all.

They couldn’t understand how he did it.

Then they looked at the Blade in his chest.

This battle was a truly fierce one.

Wan Er rolled up her sleeve: “I’m an expert at healing wounds like this, let me do it”

“Thank you” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

Wan Er carefully took out some medicine before helping Gu Qing Shan pull the Blade out.

“I can’t understand how you killed him at all” Qing Rou asked him.

Gu Qing Shan then told them the entire process.

Qing Rou started thinking.

“You mean you never intended to kill him within the 5 minutes?” she asked.

“Correct” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“But why?”

“A Cryptic realm cultivator even without the use of spirit energy isn’t someone easy to deal with when they’re determined to risk their lives”

The two girls both nodded.

“And I was also afraid that he might purposefully use spirit energy at the very last moments in order to ensure mutual death by attracting the realm demons”

“Then what was your plan?”

“To make him feel like his victory was assured”

Seeing Qing Rou’s confused look, Gu Qing Shan explained: “When a person like Wang Hong Dao feel like they have an assured victory, they won’t be willing to risk their lives at all”

Qing Rou slowly nodded: “That’s right, he will wait until the 5 minutes was over, until the time that the quarantine formation reactivates”

“So everything I did was for that very last moment, for the last strike”

“The strike that you took a hit in order to hit”

Qing Rou stared at Gu Qing Shan’s chest.

The Blade was already removed by Wan Er.

Wan Er moved her hands very quickly, rubbing the necessary medicine to stop his bleeding and gave him the appropriate healing pills.

She really was an expert at dealing with such wounds.

“Thank you, Wan Er”

Gu Qing Shan swallowed a pill and answered: “That was the only moment I could get close to him”

Qing Rou continued: “And also the only moment Shannu could use either the jade tag or her thaumaturgy”

“That’s right, the victory of this battle wasn’t decided at the moment when the formation was broken, but rather the moment when it reactivates”

Qing Rou sighed: “A smart person who likes to plan things out wasn’t be able to account for a person that would go so far and risk their own life just to get close”

Gu Qing Shan casually commented: “This kind of unreasonable act is unable to kill the opponent and gives no benefits at all, of course he couldn’t account for it”

“That’s right, you getting close to him wouldn’t be able to ensure mutual death, and gives no advantage at all. But why couldn’t he account for it?” Qing Rou was still confused.

Gu Qing Shan explained: “Because ever since birth, he had always relied on calculations and schemes to win, never has he ever risked his own life and ignored everything for the sake of victory”

Qing Rou was stunned.

“The Blade as a path pointing forward becomes unbeatable. A person that values his own life above anything else would never be able to understand that principle”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan was thinking of a beautiful female figure in his mind.

The girl who wore silver armor and a silver mask.

Despite being wounded, she held her Blade and rushed towards the sky.

She was a true Blade user.

Is she well?

What about Shifu?

Or Xiao Lou?

Or Xiuxiu?

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

“That’s why he couldn’t understand your thought process and couldn’t account for your following actions” Qing Rou happily concluded.

“That’s exactly it”

While saying that, Gu Qing Shan was looking at the War God UI.

A few lines of glowing text had been here for a while.

[You killed Virtualized realm cultivator Zhao Wu Chui]

[As you killed someone 3 realms above yourself, furthermore an instant kill, you will receive the full amount of Soul Points]

[Soul Points +2000]

[You killed Cryptic realm cultivator Wang Hong Dao]

[You killed Cryptic realm cultivator Tian Shan Ye (main soul)]

[As you killed someone 4 realms above yourself, furthermore an instant kill, you will receive the full amount of Soul Points]

[Soul Points +5000]

[Soul Points +3000]

[As the above kills were achieved while being weaker than the opponent, you’ve received Soul Points exceeding the limit of Sainted realm]

[Your remaining Soul Points: 10,000/400]

Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag right away and took out a formation jade tag.

He began to study the art of formation again.

A line of glowing text quickly scrolled past the War God UI.

[Would you like to spend 700 Soul Points to comprehend the advanced formation knowledge in his jade tag?]

“Yes”

Gu Qing Shan answered.

A warmth flowed into his body from the jade tag and settled at his Thought Sea.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes for a few moments to digest the knowledge he just learnt.

He then took out another more advanced formation jade tag.

And began to comprehend it.

Having gained 10,000 Soul Points, Gu Qing Shan can just ignore however much the expenditure was.

He can learn as many things as he wants.
