Abundant Martial Arts Virtue-Chapter 1027 - 866: Alternation

The colorful ribbon in the oil pot no longer glows.

It's like a long squid tentacle, covered in scorching oil, making a pleasant sizzling sound as it flips and sways with the masterful skill of the spatula.

This pot uses the latest Emergence Level fire gathering formation, the oil is blessed by God, and each stir fry by the spatula is brushed by the Law of the River of Life and Death.

Then.

It is cooked.

Gu Qingshan plated it, arranged the dish, and gently sniffed the aroma.

—Actually, a bit of Power of Eternal Destruction could still be added.

But to avoid giving anything away, this regret had to be kept.

Gu Qingshan took out a pair of golden chopsticks and cheerfully said:

"Tasting begins."

The chopsticks picked up the squid tentacle and put it in the mouth, gradually making a "crunch crunch" sound as it was chewed.

A gleam of light flashed in Gu Qingshan's eyes.

Waited too long.

For the sake of all beings, he couldn't go all out and could only guard the Blood Sea.

Now, finally tasting an eternal-class enemy.

This counts as a small gain of interest to prevent himself from being too oppressed emotionally.

Speaking of the taste.

– This thing is actually a bit fishy.

Besides the fishiness, its advantage is fresh tenderness and rich energy, completely suitable as a seafood ingredient for cooking.

Next time when cooking, it must be strongly deodorized.

Next time... right...

Gu Qingshan looked up, only to see the other half of the ribbon floating in mid-air, already frozen still.

Running was not possible.

According to the rules of the "Pilgrimage," it now belonged to him.

Then fighting?

– The most powerful one just arrived, and was already defeated by him!

Hide back into his body?

This is the only way, I'll hide—

The half ribbon flashed, about to dive back into "Wu Xiaode's" body.

But this "Wu Xiaode" had already seen this move.

He casually clamped the ribbon with chopsticks, just like that.

"Look at you, how wonderful."

While eating the pan-fried ribbon, Gu Qingshan praised the live ribbon:

"Half of you was fried and you're still alive, can think, know how to run—"

"Since that's the case, I'll cut another piece."

As soon as he said this, the ribbon immediately struggled desperately.

Gu Qingshan quickly comforted:

"No worries, no worries, this time I will definitely de-fish properly."

He finished the last bite, took out a kitchen knife, was about to cut again when a sudden change occurred—

A woman's voice suddenly came from the void.

"Little Wu."

Calling Little Wu.

I am Gu Qingshan, cutting squid here.

Wait.

Oh, I'm Little Wu.

…My acting skills are a bit rusty.

Gu Qingshan became vigilant, immediately looked up.

Only to see the phantom of a woman quietly appearing before him.

"Sister Lan! Why have you come!"

He imitated Little Wu's voice, stood up with surprise and joy.

"I haven't actually come, I am still in the future world."

The woman's phantom said.

"Sister Lan, have you come to me because something happened in the future?" Gu Qingshan asked.

The woman's phantom said:

"I came to tell you, you don't need to worry about death—"

"Because I assure in the future that 'you will definitely appear in the future', so you won't die in the 'past era'."

Gu Qingshan pondered for a moment and immediately understood.

Yes.

Wu Xiaode is a person born in the future, who has been studying and schooling in the future era until his power awakened.

If Xia Huilan can ensure that the future he is in always exists.

How could he die in the past then?

Death in the past means the future him doesn't exist.

But the future him always exists.

– So he won't die.

This is thanks to Xia Huilan!

"Thank you, Sister Lan, rest assured, my progress here is very smooth." Gu Qingshan said.

"I cannot be reassured, Little Wu."

"Why?"

"In the future, there are still some changes, after the era of Ten Thousand Spirit's arrival, many evil spirits are continuously descending, they are attacking this world, attacking me and others."

Gu Qingshan, after pondering for a bit, remembered.

Yes.

He checked Wu Xiaode's past.

It was indeed because an evil spirit captured Xia Huilan, and Wu Xiaode, in order to enhance his strength, found a way to save Xia Huilan, hence traversing back to the past era again.

Strange…

This doesn't make sense at all.

"As the King of Evil Spirits, I actually cannot command the evil spirits in the future, Sister Lan, why is that?"

Gu Qingshan naturally asked.

Xia Huilan's voice came up:

"I don't know, I also find it very strange, but when you saved me in the past, you sent me back to the future with all my powers."

"So you don't have to worry about my safety, I can take care of myself."

"It's just that others might find it a bit difficult..."

"You'd better handle things over there quickly, and then come back, so we can protect everyone together."

"Okay, I got it, I'll hurry up!" Gu Qingshan said.

Xia Huilan nodded and said softly: "Good luck, Little Wu, I'll wait for you in the future."

After speaking.

Her figure disappeared.

Gu Qingshan thought for a few breaths in place.

An older sister-younger brother romance—

What's the feeling of it?

Little Wu really is quite open.

Oh, I seem to know the feeling of an older sister-younger brother romance.

Since the future also is full of crises from evil spirits, I must speed up things here on my side.

"Deliver the message to Wu Xiaode."

He ordered.

—Little Wu seems to be improving quite fast over there.

It stands to reason that I should immediately start fighting too.

But this is Little Wu's "Pilgrimage," how can I cook someone else's rice?

Gu Qingshan hesitated.

He continued eating the fried "squid tentacles," waiting quietly for Wu Xiaode's news.

Suddenly.

A violent tremor came from above the river.

A dark shadow burst from the water and released an ominous aura piercing the sky.

It loudly declared:

"I am the Evil Demon King, slumbering in this hidden world, guarding the secret passage to the Holy Realm."

"—Any pilgrim who has reached this world must pass my challenge!"

"Otherwise, you'll die without a burial ground!"

Gu Qingshan continued chewing loudly while waving his hand and saying:

"Alright, got it, go play."

There was still half a piece left on the plate, and he had to finish eating.

—Wasting food is shameful.

As for the fate of this so-called Evil Demon King, let the main player decide.

...

On the other side.

Thunder and lightning filled the distant sky.

A yellow dragon hid in the rain clouds, slowly approaching with the wind.

Wu Xiaode stood in the rain, feeling a bit impatient.

—This boss's arrival ceremony was too long-winded.

Suddenly.

Lines of small bronze characters appeared in front of him.

Through the fused Doomsday sequence, Gu Qingshan had sent over what was happening on his side.

"Did Sister Lan send a message?"

Wu Xiaode immediately began reading carefully.

He meticulously went through the entire process, so much so that when the yellow dragon arrived in front of him, looking down, he didn't notice.

When that gaze's power gradually strengthened, he finally said impatiently:

"What are you looking at?"

"No one can covet the secrets of the ancient times, mortal," the yellow dragon roared.

Wu Xiaode posed on the spot and swung a blade through the air.

Finishing Move: Guillotine!

The sky resounded with the yellow dragon's earth-shattering wails.

Blood rained down heavily.

Lines of bronze characters instantly appeared:

"The Power of Doomsday has risen to Doomsday: Demon King's Advent!"

"Please keep up the effort!"

"Just a little more, and you can reach the level of 'Doomsday: Holy Demon King'."

"Once you reach that level, you will be able to grant eternal annihilation to all parasites, fearing this method no more."

Alright!

Wu Xiaode gathered himself and said:

"Inform Gu Qingshan to stall for a bit, I'm almost done here."

The lines of bronze characters disappeared.

Wu Xiaode braced himself, shot into the sky, and instantly traversed time and space to the era when the Heavenly Sword emerged.

—That was Gu Qingshan's sword.

Wu Xiaode directly crossed over the human territory, going deep into the desolate ancient area, arriving in front of that ghastly creature.

This was a half-male, half-female monster.

Seeing Wu Xiaode, it sighed, stood up, and said:

"Here again?"

Wu Xiaode didn't understand.

He vaguely sensed that this monster was a bit bizarre, so he refrained from advancing aggressively and instead made a hand seal.

—Evil Soul Heart Stealing: Divine Puppet Ghost Loss!

The monster immediately grew angry, took a deep breath, and was about to scream.

As soon as it took action, "Evil Soul Heart Stealing" activated!

In an instant.

The monster was engulfed by dreams.

When it reappeared, it had already been refined by countless evil spirits into a puppet within the "Divine Puppet Ghost Loss."

Lines of bronze characters immediately jumped out:

"The Power of Doomsday has risen to Doomsday: Holy Demon King!"

"Congratulations."

"You have graduated!"

"From now on, you possess the Power of Eternal Destruction; and also have a hidden attribute:"

"Eternal Destruction Call."

"Whenever you wish, you can resonate with Gu Qingshan's power, drawing him to meet with you."

A meeting...

An image filled with mosaics emerged in Wu Xiaode's mind of the two meeting.

How disgusting.

This ability can be skipped.

"I'm done here, send me back."

Wu Xiaode said towards the Void.

The Void flickered.

Liu Ping reached out his hand, grabbed his shoulder, and the two instantly turned invisible.

The two left this temporarily created "private server" world.

Using the Blood Sea as a transit, they crossed through time and space again, arriving at the "Pilgrimage."

Upon landing, they saw the Evil Demon King attacking "Wu Xiaode."

Thud.

With a dull sound, "Wu Xiaode" was beaten flying, directly crashing through several mountains, and rolling into the forest.

"Damn it, I'll remember you."

"Wu Xiaode" vomited a few mouthfuls of blood from the beating but didn't die, got up, ran while mocking, and even found time to gather a few fungi.

Liu Ping and Wu Xiaode watched speechlessly.

"Hurry and swap you back, otherwise he'll collect a bunch of random ingredients again."

Liu Ping said.

"Let's go!" Wu Xiaode said.

The two chased after him.

Liu Ping kept the invisibility skill with one hand while placing the other on "Wu Xiaode's" shoulder.

"We're leaving now, be careful yourself," Liu Ping warned.

Wu Xiaode nodded.

"This ribbon needs extra cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, it tastes great," Gu Qingshan handed the ribbon back to Wu Xiaode, reminding him.

Wu Xiaode numbly nodded.

The two vanished into thin air.

Leaving the real Wu Xiaode, blood at the corner of his mouth, dust-covered, looking at the Evil Demon King as if facing a formidable enemy.

—This was the guise Gu Qingshan used to buy time, pretending to be weak.

After all, he couldn't use the power of Doomsday.

Otherwise, it would be exposed.

Fortunately, he had bought time.

Now.

He was back.

Wu Xiaode glanced at the other party, suddenly withdrew his gaze, wiped the blood from his mouth, and casually tied a black cord around his fist.

"I didn't catch it earlier, say it again, what's your name?"
