Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 58
Chapter 58: A Pig Coming Head On
In the past life, he once worked at a famous restaurant for cultivators as a Mixologist[1].
This was before the death of Queen of the Apocalypse, Anna Medici.
At the time, the spirit alcohol that Gu Qing Shan crafted was famous across the land, to the point that even large sects couldn’t help but recognize his abilities.
He then taught those skills to a certain close friend.
But his friend didn’t know better, the Dao companion that he had feelings for only wanted to use him for the large wealth that he brings, treating him as nothing but a money tree.
To force his friend into doing nothing but make money for her, that woman employed a devious method.
From the Desolate Lands, she found an ancient spider, called the “Poisonous Heart Tormenting Demon Spider”
Once this spider attaches to someone it would seal away half of their strength, and if they won’t obey the controller then the spider will start gnawing on their heart.
This demon spider was born with the power to slowly devour its victim’s soul vessel as it ate their heart.
Very few can withstand this unbearable pain that affects both body and soul at the same time, so they can only choose to either kill themselves or obey the controller.
When Gu Qing Shan found out about this and wanted to come help his friend, that friend had already chose to suicide.
From then on, Gu Qing Shan swore to the heavens that he will never teach his art of alcohol to anyone else.
As Gu Qing Shan awoken from his nostalgia, he sighed deeply.
“You know what this is!” as Leng Tian Xing saw his face like that, his eyes lit up.
Gu Qing Shan answered: “You were probably at Golden Core realm before”
“I was!”
Gu Qing Shan continued: “To not be controlled by the other person, you chose to hide at General Sun Zhi’s side. By using his formation to suppress the demon spider, you were just barely able to retain your consciousness and survive”
“That’s exactly right!”
Leng Tian Xing suddenly stood up, clasped his fist and bowed all the way down to the ground in earnest: “If you can help me, you’ll be my good brother for the rest of this life”
Leng Tian Xing, just over 20 years old, a Golden Core Realm cultivator, direct disciple of Yao Guang sect.
A true prodigy. What kind of person could call such a person his good brother?
Even other Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t dare do that.
Because being able to reach Golden Core realm at 20 years old is a show of truly monstrous talent.
Gu Qing Shan wryly smiled: “Let’s just go attempt the Bai Hua list”
Right now his cultivation is not enough to dispel such a scary curse.
Leng Tian Xing eyes visibly darken.
“Your problem is very complicated, so we have no time to waste, let’s quickly return to the cultivation world”
“Not to mention, I also have a reason to quickly return” Gu Qing Shan said.
Leng Tian Xing looked at all the countless wounds still on their bodies, then also wryly smiles: “You’re in that much of a rush?”
Gu Qing Shan put the iron ball on the super-distance teleportation formation and answered: “Very”
Looking at the War God UI, he could see the Quest was still displayed as “in progress”
Meaning that Gong Sun Zhi and Ning Yue Xi can still persevere.
Gu Qing Shan looked again at his Soul Points.
“Current Soul Points: 651/7”
So much Soul Points, most of which came from the monsters killed by his last strike [Water Flow Severance].
But right now, to change history, to change Gong Sun Zhi and Ning Yue Xi’s destiny, no amount of Soul Points can help Gu Qing Shan; the only people that can are the 3 Saints.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and activated the super-distance teleportation formation.
Streaks of light appeared on the formation to gradually cover the two of them.
In a flash, both of them disappeared from the cave.
…
Border Fortress.
A teleportation formation at the fortress’s main square lit up.
Two people appeared in the formation.
Then a voice was heard from inside: “Are we going to directly continue going?”
“Yes, let’s keep going”
The formation lights up again.
And the two people disappeared.
A middle-aged cultivator guarding the teleportation asked his fellow guards: “Who was that?”
The two others shook their heads.
“Too quick so I didn’t see”
“Probably not the target, otherwise they’d stay here at the border fortress” one of them spoke in a low voice.
The middle-aged cultivator said: “Go to the guard room to check where they were transported”
One of them quickly left and came back.
“They’re going to Bai Hua Immortal Country” he answered.
The cultivator’s face relaxed and confirmed: “Not the target”
“Right, only people who have nothing to do would go there to test their luck” one of his subordinates agreed.
The middle-aged cultivator spoke again: “Don’t let your guard down, the big man ordered us to not miss a single person who teleports here”
“Yes”
The others quickly replied.
Gu Qing Shan and Leng Tian Xing didn’t know, because they were in a rush that they had escaped a life and death situation.
…
Bai Hua Immortal country.
Outside the capital.
A teleportation formation in a secluded place.
Gu Qing Shan and Leng Tian Xing appeared.
“How many spirit stones did you use?” Gu Qing Shan asked
“Don’t worry, money is no object” Leng Tian Xing answered.
Long-distance transportation always uses a lot of spirit stones, and it was all paid by Leng Tian Xing, the direct disciple of a large sect.
“Ok, let’s go attempt a list then” Gu Qing Shan jumped down from the formation first.
Leng Tian Xing sighed and asked: “Are we really going to go just like this?”
Gu Qing Shan looked at him, then at himself.
Both of them had wounds all over, their clothes were ripped and tattered, pretty much already falling apart.
Leng Tian Xing offered: “How about we change clothes and rest up for a day first?”
Gu Qing Shan answered: “We won’t make it in time, hurry”
Leng Tian Xing was curious: “What exactly is the rush?”
“Let’s go first, I’ll tell you after we’re done”
The two of them quickly left the transportation formation and headed for the city outskirts.
Bai Hua Immortal Sect is very different from other places, as any and all teleportation formations are set up in very secluded areas.
No one knows why this is, most only think of it as Bai Hua Fairy’s personal preference.
As Gu Qing Shan and Leng Tian Xing went on their way, more and more people could be seen.
Every bit of arable land in this place is used for raising crops, so many normal people live here.
“If anything happens, don’t act first, let me deal with it” Gu Qing Shan carefully advised him.
“Fine”, even though he doesn’t understand why, Leng Tian Xing still agreed.
After all, he already proved himself, no matter how strange it is, everything he did was for a reason.
As the two of them were quickly gliding along, a pig rushed out from the side of the road, heading straight towards them.
This was a complete accident, but it had caught them off guard.
The pig also appeared at a really opportune moment, as they were gliding along the way, about to land on the ground, where the old force had faded and they didn’t have time to gather force again.
Before this, Gu Qing Shan and Leng Tian Xing had both been fighting demons, so they were already at the end of their strength, without any way to avoid it.
Leng Tian Xing pulled out his fan on reflex.
As a cultivator, if he were to be knocked down by a pig, that would be really shameful.
But just before his hand moved, Gu Qing Shan had already knocked his hand back.
Remembering what Gu Qing Shan had told him before, Leng Tian Xing put the fan away.
To be Yao Guang Sect’s direct disciple, he has to have at least a bit of cleverness.
While still in the air, Gu Qing Shan spread open his arms to hug the running pig.
———heavy! This is a pig? More like a big elephant.
Gu Qing Shan swallowed the Crimson Crane pill so his condition was a little bit better than Leng Tian Xing.
“Hoh!”
He heaved, still hugging the pig, spun around in the air before finally landing.
Both him and the pig were safe.
“Go”
Gu Qing Shan didn’t bother to look back at the pig or stop and continued to rush forward again.
It was the first time Leng Tian Xing had seen something like that so he was a bit confused, but only quickly chased after him.
The two of them quickly went far away.
The pig just stood there confused, but a few moments later, while looking at the two’s back, a hint of a smile could be seen in its eyes.
