Flying.

More flying.

historical

During his long flight, Gu Qing Shan was still paying attention to the situation around.

There were so many strange and unimaginable sights that it was hard to tell one from another.

One time, a flaming beastly head suddenly appeared in front of him.

The beast was giving off a dangerous air unlike anything Gu Qing Shan had ever felt.

It stared straight at Gu Qing Shan, only begrudgingly got out of the way at the very last second.

Gu Qing Shan could tell, it originally wanted to pounce on him.

It was a real wonder what method the demon called ‘Xiao Die’ used to force these powerful monsters in the space vortex to move out of the way.

The long flight continued.

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

[You’ve moved far away from the world tomb]

[You’ve moved far away from the Scattered worlds]

[You’re currently at the Outer Plane’s 6,344,234th Layer]

[Your time flow had synchronized]

[From now on, the amount of time you experience in every world will be the same]

Gu Qing Shan asked: “You mean, if I stay here for 1 hour, 1 hour will also have passed in Reality?”

[Correct]

“What is the world tomb?” Gu Qing Shan asked further.

[The place you call Reality]

“Why is it called that?”

The System became silent again, not answering Gu Qing Shan no matter what he said.

Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to give up.

He continued to fly towards an unknown world.

Time became unbelievably long.

Sometimes, the only thing around him was the darkness of space.

But after a while of flying, Gu Qing Shan would have felt himself crashing through something.

The dark space around him would also disappear as Gu Qing Shan entered a new space.

The chaotic scenery of the space vortex would show up again.

Of course, sometimes it might not be the space vortex that appeared, but rather another dark space.

This change was unpredictable, chaotic and spontaneous.

The only thing Gu Qing Shan was sure of was that he had entered another World Layer.

After who knows how long had passed, Gu Qing Shan was stopped by a part of space.

This part was so firm and so stable that Gu Qing Shan was unable to just crash through it like before.

He just lightly hovered inside the dark space.

The scroll that unwinded above his head disappeared.

Another scroll came out and unrolled itself.

This scroll depicted a compass.

The compass spun wildly until it finally pointed in a certain direction.

His coordinates were confirmed.

Following that, another scroll unrolled itself.

Depicted on this one was a cute pink pair of wings.

The scroll disappeared.

The wings let out a pink glow as it attached to Gu Qing Shan’s back.

“We’re going now” the wings whispered.

The pink pair of wings spread wide and flapped.

As the wings flapped, its pink glow expanded all around, giving the one wearing it an indescribable charm.

However, that was the past.

Gu Qing Shan felt troubled looking at the wings behind himself.

“Can you change color?” he couldn’t help but ask.

“Change color?” the wings stopped for a bit and asked in confusion.

“Yeah, to black, or any other color is fine too”

The wings refused: “No way! This color of mine is the Ultra Limited Edition! Only 1 of 300 million World Layers would have me! The only one capable of increasing the user’s charm towards the opposite sex simply through wearing me. I’m super extremely rare, I’ll have you know!”

“..” Gu Qing Shan.

Following where the compass pointed to, the wings carried Gu Qing Shan as it flew.

This pink pair of wings seems to have some sort of extraordinary power.

I can tell we’re not flying very fast, but every time the wings flapped, I would sense that I’ve passed through an incalculable distance in space.

This was an indescribable feeling.

Thinking of something, Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag to take out a formation plate.

The Spatial Position Formation.

There were 8 tick marks to represent directions on this square formation.

The cultivators of the Suspended world used this formation plate to record the coordinates of other worlds.

Legend has it that back in the Age of Old, the Suspended world found a formation plate and book in the void of space.

The book detailed how to use the formation plate, as well as depicting how there were 10 tick marks on the formation plate to represent the 10 directions.

But no matter how much the cultivators of the Suspended world tried, they were only able to use at most 8 tick marks to record the coordinates position of a world.

They were completely unable to use the other 2 tick marks.

Over time, newer Spatial Position Formations were reduced to having only 8 tick marks.

The other 2 tick marks were ignored by cultivators of the Suspended world.

Only very few grandmaster expert formation users would think to study the other 2 tick marks.

Gu Qing Shan held his breath as he looked at the Spatial Position Formation plate in his hand.

The pink wings spread and slowly flapped once.

Gu Qing Shan’s hands moved as fast as lightning to coordinate the formation plate.

Some light came from the formation plate.

In an instant, he finished recording the coordinates.

The pink wings flapped again.

Just like before, Gu Qing Shan quickly moved his hands to record another coordinates.

He looked at the formation plates.

Where there were supposed to be only 8 tick marks, now there were 10.

“The 10 directions of the worlds..” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

10 directions!!!

This was a completely unknown coordinate.

This was an experience Gu Qing Shan had never been through before.

He didn’t know what was coming on the road ahead, nor did he know what he would meet.

The pink wings flapped again.

Gu Qing Shan once again recorded another coordinates using the formation plate.

A while of flying later, Gu Qing Shan began to compare the coordinates he recorded.

He found that the distance between these coordinates was even further compared to the distance between Shen Wu world and the Suspended world.

The wings were bringing him across an unimaginably vast vertical distance every time it flapped its wings.

“How unbelievable” Gu Qing Shan muttered as he stared at the formation plate: “A single pair of wings is able to pass through infinite space, just what kind of power is able to do such a thing..”

He turned around a bit to look at the pink wings on his back.

The pink wings were in fact very cute.

But when they’re attached to Gu Qing Shan’s back, it felt off.

As if his entire presence was forced to change.

But this wasn’t the main issue.

The main issue was that the frequency of the wings flapping was increasing.

Passing through countless spaces, Gu Qing Shan was flying the whole way.

At a certain unknown point, his direction began to change to straight up.

The pink glow around him fully enclosed to protect him as it flew in full speed.

Splosh!

Gu Qing Shan found himself inside a body of water.

The pink wings had stopped.

Gu Qing Shan calmly assessed the surroundings as he hovered underwater.

In his vision, there was nothing but light blue-colored water.

The water was clean and refreshing.

Although Gu Qing Shan couldn’t breathe underwater, this wasn’t an issue to him as a Sainted realm cultivator.

The issue was what to do next.

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, another scroll flew out.

Frill!

As the scroll unrolled itself, something appeared in front of him.

Before the item could float away, Gu Qing Shan had reached his hand to grab it.

It was a frilly pink swimming ring.

Noticing this after he grabbed it, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but scowled.

Pink again.

So girly..

He kind of understood now why the girl called ‘Xiao Die’ was tricked by Tian Shan Ye.

Perhaps, 1000 years ago, holding dreams of exploring unknown worlds, the girl left home for the first time.

Thinking of what Xiao Die must’ve gone through, Gu Qing Shan’s expression relaxed.

The pink swimming ring no longer looked as dazzling as before.

He thought he knew what to do next.

Putting the pink swimming ring on his back, Gu Qing Shan waited.

But nothing happened.

While he was wondering about it, a note came out from the pink swimming ring.

Gu Qing Shan caught it and seriously read what it said.

[To activate this magic item, please loudly recite the activation incantation]

[Incantation: Activate, activate!]

Once Gu Qing Shan finished reading, the note yanked itself out of his hand and went back to the swimming ring.

[Activate, activate].. this incantation is girly too..

Looking at the boundless water around himself, Gu Qing Shan really had no other choice.

He gave up and whispered: “Activate”

Forgetting that he was underwater, as soon as Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth, water rushed in and the words he said weren’t even clear enough to make out.

Gu Qing Shan quickly spat the water out.

Taking a look at the swimming ring, nothing changed at all.

So that wasn’t quite right.

Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan used spirit energy to block out the water and insisted on whispering: “Activate, activate”

The swimming ring very unwillingly moved again.

The note came out a second time, hovering in front of Gu Qing Shan.

Written on it was..

[Did you just get dumped? Or haven’t eaten yet? At a crucial moment like reciting an incantation, can’t you at least act a bit excited?]

The note fluttered in front of him for a bit, shook its head and flew back.

Gu Qing Shan froze.

Excitedly..

Holding the frilly pink swimming rink, Gu Qing Shan scowled.

Recalling the first time the note flew out, it wrote “Please loudly recite the activation incantation”

I can do that.

Gu Qing Shan then circulated his spirit energy and loudly yelled: “Activate, activate!”

His voice directly blasted the water around him away.

The pink swimming pink trembled a bit.

A light came out from it, scanning through the entire body of water.

A low voice came from the pink swimming ring.

[Finally, I’ve waited until this day. 1000 years, it’s finally time for revenge~!]

Its voice seems to be really excited.

[I’ve fully awoken, brat, are you ready to take on the challenge?]

Gu Qing Shan hesitantly answered: “I accepted the favor, so of course I’m ready”

[Very well, then how about we begin right now?] the pink swimming ring asked.

“Alright” Gu Qing Shan shrugged.

[Then strip] the pink swimming ring spoke without hesitation.
