Chapter 348: Chapter 200: A Feast of Desolation for Living Beings

"I almost lost half my life..." Gu Shanhai staggered as he got up. The Heavenly Tribulation had lasted almost a month. During that time, not only did Gu Shanhai rely on the Five Elements Great Escape to cope with the tribulation, but he also constantly perfected the Heart Demon substitute to conceal his own presence.

"With the current strength of the Heart Demon substitute, it can last for a maximum of three years," Gu Shanhai observed a small crack that had appeared on the Heart Demon substitute.

This tribulation was too terrifying. The three words ’Peeping Dao Stage’ represented the highest combat power in the Xuanji Realm, not just any insignificant level. He had survived because of his capabilities, and not because the tribulation was weak.

Within ten thousand li, everything had turned into scorched earth, and countless lives had perished.

"I need to leave quickly, lest something else happens." The three sects had long noticed such commotion, but because this tribulation belonged to the Peeping Dao Stage, no one had come to investigate.

In the current understanding of the Xuanji Realm, generally, one transcends the tribulation corresponding to one’s own realm.

Gu Shanhai used the Five Elements Great Escape, fleeing through Earth Escape, covering the largest distance within the area—about a hundred li this time.

"Ten thousand li, this is almost as long as the journey to the west," Gu Shanhai commented sarcastically.

It was only because of his powerful Five Elements Great Escape that he was able to do this; normally, those in the Foundation Establishment Stage would not be able to escape a hundred li at once, though continuously, there wouldn’t be much of a problem.

"All the nearby cities have been wiped out; the nearest city is now beyond the range of my city locating technique."

Gu Shanhai felt somewhat helpless; he wanted to find a city to rest and gather some information.

Unfortunately, the city locating technique was no help, but locating water sources was slightly more effective. There were still some surviving water sources in the region.

"Is someone coming?" Gu Shanhai’s heart skipped a beat. He would need to use the Five Elements Great Escape’s maximum range about a hundred times to leave the range of the scorched earth left by the Heavenly Tribulation. In his prime, he would have had no trouble doing so continuously, but now, severely injured as he was, it certainly wasn’t possible, especially not over the longest distances.

"They’re not here for me? Right, their target is someone crossing the tribulation at the Peeping Dao Stage, what does that have to do with me, someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage?" Gu Shanhai thought to himself. The other party’s power must be at least in the Upper Three Realms, and they wouldn’t stoop so low as to trouble a junior like him.

Furthermore, his Five Elements Great Escape was strong enough even to evade the notice of those at the Peeping Dao Stage. He had just been using Earth Escape, so it was normal for someone to scan the area and miss him, especially since this place had just been ravaged by a Heavenly Tribulation, filled with a great deal of Thunderbolt Qi, which could confuse many things.

This Thunderbolt Qi was not simple; it also contained a certain essence of tribulation.

As Gu Shanhai continued to retreat outward, he also encountered many cultivators rushing toward the center.

Some were collecting Thunderbolt Qi, others were gathering the essence of Thunderbolt, yet others were using the Thunderbolt here to condense some thunder attribute Spirit Plants, and still others were thinking of altering the Earth Vein to create a Thunder Spirit Vein.

A Peeping Dao Stage tribulation was a rare event that happened once in a millennium and naturally could generate corresponding benefits.

In any case, it was another gluttonous feast.

As for the person undergoing the tribulation, that wasn’t something these outsiders were concerned with, but rather it was the business of other bigshots at the Peeping Dao Stage.

Gu Shanhai didn’t encounter any trouble along the way; everyone was busy working who had time to bother about others?

Compared to ambushing other cultivators, it was more pragmatic to gather more resources for oneself.

"Phew, it should be about enough," Gu Shanhai glanced around at the situation. This area already had quite a few Loose Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, indicating that it had been partitioned into corresponding points of interest.

So, he could rest for a bit now.

The very center was definitely occupied by the Upper Three Realms, and then continuously radiating outwards, each realm had its own designated area.

"Looks like there’ll be a bunch of new Purple Mansion Stage Loose Cultivators soon," Gu Shanhai watched a group of Loose Cultivators continuously condensing Thunderbolt Essence into Spirit Plants. It would take quite some time, and by Gu Shanhai’s estimation, it would need to be calculated in years.

And the Eight Diagrams Spirit Plants Gu Shanhai had were naturally not of the same origin as those obtained by these Loose Cultivators; this type of Spirit Plant belonged to the lowest grade, even if their quality was superb, they could not compare to those natural-born Spirit Plants.

Natural-born, favored by the heavens and earth, harboring enough profound mysteries of creation.

However, for the sake of temporarily resting, he was also acting very congenially. Nowadays, he had already changed his appearance, aura, and even his soul and spiritual fluctuations were altered with Spirit Plants, and relying on the Five Elements Great Escape and the capabilities of the Heart Demon substitute, he concealed his tracks.

He could be even more cautious, by utilizing the Time History Book’s pages and Previous Life Biluo to directly change his tracks, but he was somewhat reluctant to do so, as his current identity was very useful.

[Gu Shanhai (Dharma Transmission Elder of Chengyun Sect/Despiser of Heaven and Earth - Hidden)]

Gu Shanhai was somewhat speechless; that title ’Despiser of Heaven and Earth’ had been with him since he gained Shen Heng’s destiny, originally without the ’Hidden’ suffix, which only appeared after he used the Heart Demon substitute to hide his identity.

He had also tried using the pages of the Time History Book to forcibly change his identity, such as to ’Favored by Heaven and Earth’ or something similar.

Unfortunately, he could not change it; it seemed the implications were too profound, and the pages of the Time History Book simply could not shift it. Perhaps only a complete Time History Book could change it, with just one page, naturally it didn’t possess such great power.
