Chapter 1605: Descent of the heavenly beings!

Gu Qing Shan silently observed this Heavenly tower.

Indeed, this was a tower from the Heaven realm that s.h.i.+fu left on this world, representing her hopes for it.

But the situation has changed.

Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist.

From the white skull gauntlet, Shroud’s will had recognized his thoughts and instantly began to manifest as layers of great power.

Hoh—–

An immense air current faintly radiated from the gauntlet, which contained a faint aura of destruction.

[All Things Destruction]!

This was one of the additional great powers of the gauntlets, its function was:

[All Things Destruction: All defensive items that are struck by these gauntlets will directly break into pieces]

Defensive item——-

Gu Qing Shan observed the Heavenly Tower.

This Heavenly Tower doesn’t seem to be considered a defensive item.

A notification also popped up on the War G.o.d UI:

[Attention: This Heavenly Tower isn’t considered a defensive item]

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

—-even so, the Heavenly Tower was still made out of stone, which makes it a part of ‘all things’.

Being struck by a punch imbued with [All Things Destruction], this Heavenly Tower would definitely not escape unscathed.

While he was thinking, a voice suddenly called out from the distance:

“Fellow Dao seeker Gu, please stop!”

More voices then called out from all around:

“Sword Saint Gu, please raise your hand high but strike lightly”

“Fellow Dao seeker Gu, please definitely do not destroy this tower!”

“Please hold back!”

With each voice, the sect masters, sect leaders, grand elders and various people from various great sects gathered in the sky right below the Heavenly Tower.

Gu Qing Shan pulled back his killing intent and clasped his fist: “Oh? So it was the various sect leaders of the world, may I know why you wish to stop me from getting rid of this tower?”

One sect leader stood out and clasped his hand to greet him, explaining: “Fellow Dao seeker Gu, this tower contains countless Immortal Crafts, it is capable of helping all cultivators in this world grow stronger, you mustn’t destroy it”

Gu Qing Shan nodded and smiled: “I know that this tower means a lot. But unfortunately, with its existence, even those who are lacking morals have grown significantly more powerful, giving them the courage to try and force their way into our Bai Hua sect. That isn’t fine at all”

The various sect leaders communicated rapidly through their inner sights and said in unison:

“It is fine, we will all protect the status of Bai Hua sect from now on, if such bandits try anything again, the people of our sects would surely act to the best of our abilities to punish them”

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and replied: “That is certainly a good idea——- but there are two small issues”

“What issues would there be?” one Grand Elder asked.

“Firstly, before I returned, Bai Hua sect had been subjected to such coercion plenty of times, so what were you doing at the time? Watching a play?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Everyone stayed silent.

“Secondly, you still haven’t paid the fees up to now, so please take care of that first before you mention what happens from this point on to me again”

Fees?

What fees?

All the sect leaders couldn’t really understand at all, so one of them tried asking: “Fellow Dao seeker Gu, what fees might you be referring to?”

Gu Qing Shan pointed at the Heavenly Tower and replied: “Among all the sects here, so many elders, disciples, and even sect leaders had received the teachings of the Heavenly Tower’s heavenly beings, obtaining their Immortal Craft and other inheritances. After receiving so much benefit, shouldn’t you pay for it?”

“And so, pay up. After you’re done paying, we’ll talk about what comes next”

Hearing him, none of the great cultivators here knew what to say.

They were all speechless.

Everyone was thinking to themselves:

If we all had to pay a fee to Bai Hua sect every time we wanted to use the Heavenly Tower from now on, what kind of reputation would we have?

One sect leader hesitantly said: “Fellow Dao seeker Gu, it might be impudent of this old man, but this was something between us from the mortal world and the Heaven realm, wouldn’t it be too inappropriate to pay a fee to you?”

Gu Qing Shan acted surprised and asked: “Then I ask you, who was the one that obtained his Heavenly Tower?”

Everyone was speechless again.

——indeed, it was during Bai Hua Fairy’s process of fusing two worlds that this Heavenly Tower came into existence.

“This Heavenly Tower was something that my s.h.i.+fu obtained, but she was in a hurry so she had to leave it here, and all of you just decided to use this tower that belongs to our Bai Hua sect as if it was public property—— but very well, considering that all of us are cultivators, I won’t pursue your arbitrary use of it. However, when those bandit-like people used the Heavenly Tower, obtained Immortal Crafts, and tried to use it to bully the disciples of my sect——- all of you ignored them”

The sect leaders remained silent.

Only a Grand Elder couldn’t help but refute him: “Fellow Dao seeker Gu, the cultivators of my sect are different from those bandits, we’ve never been after anything from Bai Hua sect, you can’t drop the entire basket just because of a few bad eggs”

Gu Qing Shan shook his head and sighed: “This world still exists because my s.h.i.+fu and I saved it in the past——– as all of you are great cultivators, you should also know about how we started out. But look at the state of our sect now, all of you used the Heavenly Tower of our Bai Hua sect, yet you ignored our plight…”

“Do you truly think of yourselves as innocent?”

He faced the Grand Elder’s eyes head-on and muttered: “I actually think more highly of those evil-doers compared to the indifferent bystanders”

“When an avalanche hits, not a single snowflake will admit that they were responsible”

His tone was turning more frigid: “All of you mark my words——- if I had returned just a few days later and saw anything happen to the disciples of our Bai Hua sect, I would definitely eradicate every last cultivator who obtained an Immortal Craft in this world”

“Not a single one of you here would have survived, I guarantee that not even the heavenly beings who descended from above would be able to save your lives. These are the exact words that this Gu Qing Shan had spoken, so try and keep them in your minds”

All the great cultivators stayed silent.

Someone suddenly sighed: “Fellow Dao seeker Gu, then there is no other way, we must use the ultimate solution to get rid of you”

Gu Qing Shan furrowed his eyebrows.

At some point, this group of great cultivators had already joined forces and completed their technique, calling out in unison: “As per the order of Heaven, we invite the heavenly beings from the Divine Mountain of Sumeru to descend and help us eliminate evil!”

Instantly, rays of light appeared from their bodies and flew into the Heavenly Tower.

The silent Heavenly Tower suddenly began glowing, as all the heavenly being statues inside recited the same words:

「 Divine Mountain of Sumeru, manifest! 」

Gu Qing Shan looked up to see another Heavenly Mountain manifesting in the sky.

This mountain eclipsed the sky itself, its peak wasn’t even visible from where they stood as boundless clouds had surrounded the side of the mountain.

——–this Heavenly Mountain was different from the previous one, as it had descended in an instant without giving Gu Qing Shan the chance to act.

The Divine Mountain of Sumeru.

The actual Divine Mountain of Sumeru!

Even with Gu Qing Shan’s eyes, this was the true Divine Mountain of Sumeru without a doubt.

He had faced two Tribulations on this mountain, so he wouldn’t mistake it for anything else.

He didn’t expect that the ultimate solution of these cultivators was to summon this Divine Mountain!

Far above the sky, a heavenly aura drifted with a faint supernatural glow.

Streaks of heavenly light were descending from above.

——the heavenly beings had arrived!

All the cultivators cheered.

“How regretful, fellow Dao seeker Gu, we cannot agree with your actions, so we’ve invited the heavenly beings here to determine your life” one sect leader purposely sighed and told him.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t say anything.

He was staring at the sky with a slightly strange expression.

A second later———

A heavenly aria resounded throughout the sky, seeming to call for something.

A monkey then flew down ahead of everyone else and landed in front of the group.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at it and silently nodded.

—–indeed, this was the same monkey who guided cultivators into their Tribulations on the Divine Mountain.

They even had a Dharma Gong specifically made for the sake of discerning which random location the cultivators would enter from within the Divine Mountain.

“Why have you summoned the Divine Mountain?”

The monkey asked.

The great cultivators had all knelt down and spoke in unison: “Heavenly envoy sir, this person wishes to eradicate the inheritance of the Heaven realm, please pa.s.s justice upon him”

“Huh?”

The monkey’s expression became tense and turned to Gu Qing Shan following their instruction.

“It’s you!”

The monkey called out in surprise and began to reminisce.

Gu Qing Shan also thought of something as his expression immediately changed and shouted back: “It’s not me!”

“You—–”

The monkey pointed at him but was unable to remember, so it looked down in thought without saying anything else.

Following that.

Heavenly beings appeared one after another from above, each declaring their t.i.tle and statuses.

“I am the 33rd Heaven’s Inspiring Formidable Heaven Shaking Great Emperor, who dares act impudently here!”

“The First Saint King of the Three Realms is here, mind your manners!”

“This venerable one is the Nine Heavens Jasper Light Fairy, who dares mess with the order of the Heaven realm?”

“This old man is the Mystic Venerable of Absolute Victory from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, here to smite the demons down!”

All the cultivators sighed in relief.

Take a look, just take a look, even the bigshots of the Heaven realm have arrived.

Just hearing their t.i.tles strikes fear into one’s heart!

——Gu Qing Shan is definitely done for!

They all turned to Gu Qing Shan.

Only to see that Gu Qing Shan’s expression had become even more embarra.s.sed while looking closely at these people.

At this point, the heavenly beings had all introduced themselves and turned to Gu Qing Shan.

They all appeared surprised before stepping up to greet him: “Sir Reincarnation Envoy of the Samsara, it has been a long time”

Silence.

Absolute silence.

What is this?

What happened?

All the cultivators were completely stunned.

At this point, the monkey still couldn’t think of Gu Qing Shan’s name, so it decisively took out a Dharma Gong and banged it towards Gu Qing Shan’s direction.

Gong!

A voice immediately spoke from the Dharma Gong:

[Indeed, he was the person who saved the Divine Mountain during the two times he faced his Tribulation. The one whose first epithet was Big Tabby Cat, and second epithet was Feline King, as well as a hidden epithet of Condemnation Cherub, regretfully…]

“What’s regretful?” the monkey asked.

The Dharma Gong spoke with a lamenting tone: [Regretfully, he is no longer a Cherub, nor is he the Feline King. Being grateful for everything he had done, the Divine Mountain of Sumeru had especially bestowed him its most powerful Thaumaturgy, as well as a unique epithet——]

[The Orange Sovereign!]
