After a few moments, Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped.
He tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a jade tag.
This is the Golden Core realm scripture that Bai Hua Fairy prepared for him, Bai Hua Rejuvenation Script.
[Discovered Golden Core realm scripture: Bai Hua Rejuvenation Script]
[The scripture is split into three parts, first stage comprehension Soul Points cost: 30, second stage Soul Points cost: 60, third stage Soul Points cost: 120]
Gu Qing Shan checked his Soul Points to see that it has increased from 0 to 174.
But it’s still not enough to fully comprehend the entire script.
He raised his sword, turning himself into a bright crescent moon that cut through the horde of demons.
The black blood of demons splattered everywhere like a shower.
The notifications went crazy again.
A demon whose body was covered in flames discovered him, screeching as it jumped to attack him from behind.
This is a Rejuvenation realm demon.
Gu Qing Shan’s strike has just reached its end, he could only barely manage to turn around, using the Earth Sword and his armor to absorb the impact.
Clang!
A huge impact.
Gu Qing Shan was knocked flying backwards a few dozen feet.
“Peh”
He raised the Earth Sword and stood up again.
His equipped title has been changed to [You Ji General]
A few moments later, he disappeared.
The strikes came invisibly fast, tearing through the air.
Three consecutive strikes hit the demon, tearing a part of its flesh away with each strike.
Even when the demon is as strong as a Rejuvenation realm late stage cultivator, it still couldn’t stop the sword at all.
It wasn’t until the 4th strike that the demon was able to gather its power to protect its body.
But then, the terrifying human sword cultivator suddenly disappeared, then came a thrust filled with lightning element from behind its back.
As the strike hit, the demon was stunned in place, trembling but unable to move.
The 5th, 6th and 7th strike.
Gu Qing Shan had held back the strength of each strike to make sure he couldn’t outright kill the demon.
7 blinding bright lights appeared on the Earth Sword.
Gu Qing Shan once again changed his equipped title, this time it’s [Talented General]
As the sword slashed forward, the Secret Art was unleashed.
[Seven Stars Flowing Dragon]!
[Rampaging Sword Qi]!
A lightning dragon rose from the Earth Sword, crunched down on the demon and continued forward into the writhing sea of demons.
Lightning naturally counters all demons, increasing the damage greatly.
Wherever the lightning dragon passed by, all the demons screamed in agony before being turned to dust in just a few seconds.
Once again, notifications popped up like crazy on the War God UI.
[Soul Points +100]
[Soul Points +7]
historical
[Soul Points +11]
..
Right after that, another phantom dragon formed from sword qi escaped from the Earth Sword and flew out in another direction, devastating the ranks of the demons as the foul stench of their blood filled the air.
Double dragons!
Gu Qing Shan returned his sword, tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a few Spirit Replenishment pills to chew and swallow.
At Golden Core realm, his body could already endure the force of [Seven Stars Flowing Dragon], but it still consumes a lot of spirit energy.
Suddenly, a long notification appeared on the War God UI.
Gu Qing Shan checked it.
[Amidst the intense battlefield, you’ve frequently used Ground Shrink enough for the Skill to level up]
[Divine Skill, Ground Shrink (advanced): Using a special speed technique, ignore the constraints of space and immediately appear at an appointed location or enemy within range]
[Range: As far as your inner sight]
From the 30 meters limit it has increased all the way to the range of his inner sight, an exceptionally large change.
The range that a cultivator’s inner sight can envelop will gradually increase as their cultivation advances.
Every time Bai Hua Fairy uses this Skill, she can move over hundreds of meters at a time without any trouble, this must be why.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit pleased.
Aside from that, as the two dragons were rampaging across the battlefield, his Soul Points was also increasing nonstop.
[Current Soul Points: 560]
That’s more than enough!
Gu Qing Shan immediately said: “I choose to comprehend the full Bai Hua Rejuvenation Script”
[The user has comprehended the full Bai Hua Rejuvenation Script, Soul Points spent: 210]
[Current Soul Points: 371,
372,
392,
416,
..]
His Soul Points was still increasing.
Gu Qing Shan just stood there until all the knowledge from the system comprehension has been digested, then changed his title back to [Ace Assassin] again.
He once again went in the middle of the sea of demons and lightly swung his sword.
Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow]
Countless black sword shadows exploded outward, blooming like a beautiful but deadly flower.
[Determined instant kill, spirit energy returned]
[Determined instant kill, spirit energy returned]
[Determined instant kill, spirit energy returned]
[Determined instant kill, spirit energy returned]
..
[Soul Points +12]
[Soul Points +5]
[Soul Points +9]
..
After the Secret Art was finished, there was no demons left near him.
Inside the silver mask, Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes.
His spirit energy began to circulate according to Bai Hua Rejuvenation Script, layered on top of each other then finally merged and once again was absorbed into the manifestation inside his Dantian.
Being nurtured by this miraculous method, the dragon-shaped manifestation grew a bit tougher, stronger.
Gu Qing Shan’s spirit energy was full again.
This is the good thing with using Soul Points to breakthrough, as long as he succeeds, his spirit energy will be fully replenished.
Gu Qing Shan’s spirit energy wave increased by about 30%.
At the moment, he’s a Golden Core mid stage cultivator.
Looking around, he found himself still only at the outermost edge of the battlefield, most of the demons around him were only Golden Core or Foundation Establishment realm.
The truly powerful demons were all at the center of the battlefield, fighting against the human main fighting strength.
Only great cultivators at Rejuvenation or Ascended realm are qualified to enter the fray.
“Seems like I still haven’t qualified to enter the true battlefield..” Gu Qing Shan glanced over and mutter.
Then he suddenly roared: “Not enough! This is nowhere near enough!”
A golden light flew up, passed through the clouds to reach the sky above.
Gu Qing Shan reappeared, closed his eyes, looked upward and began breaking through again.
The Earth Sword only silently floated next to him, protecting him.
A few moments later.
Gu Qing Shan coughed up some blood.
He bent down, then began coughing up even more blood.
His body ached all over like he was slashed by a thousand knives, his acupoints were all stretched to their very limits, close to the point of breaking.
But his spirit energy wave was increasing once again.
Golden Core late stage.
At this time, a notification popped up in [War God Skills]
[Because the user had broken through in rapid succession, usage of cultivation scriptures to breakthrough has entered a cool down period]
[The user can gather Soul Points to decrease the cool down period]
It didn’t say how long the cool down period was, but Gu Qing Shan understood.
It simply wanted Gu Qing Shan to challenger even stronger foes.
If he wants to breakthrough again, he has to gather more Soul Points!
The Earth Sword let out a deep echoing voice: 「 You’re in too much of a rush, it won’t be good for stabilizing your realm 」
“It’s fine, I know that very well” Gu Qing Shan said.
For normal cultivators, burning through stages in a rush isn’t a good thing.
Breaking through in rapid succession will put very heavy stress on both the body and the mind of the cultivator, they can’t help but spend even more time to nurture their body and get used to their new stage of cultivation.
But in the past life, Gu Qing Shan has already reached the pinnacle of cultivation just below Sainted realm, his memory of this was extremely clear.
For him, Golden Core realm is nothing but a revisit, this won’t affect his firm Dao heart in the slightest.
The only worry he has is his body being under too much stress.
