Mist rose, and the pearl gave off a murky yellow glow that illuminated Gu Qingshan's face.
The words that one-horned ghost had just spoken contained far too much information.
Unfortunately, after completing its mission, the ghost had vanished completely without explaining the details.
Gu Qingshan sighed softly.
All around him, the blank void gradually disappeared.
The Great River of Forgetfulness appeared once more, and the great tree stood again above its waters.
—This was the Yellow Springs Holy Selection site that the one-horned ghost had left for those who came after.
As for Gu Qingshan, he had already reached the top of the great tree and completed his Star River Tribulation.
Gu Qingshan took the pearl and wrapped his divine sense around it. Before long, he had refined it into his own possession.
In an instant, the entire world receded.
He found himself back in the Holy Spirit World, standing on a floe in the middle of the sea.
Rows of glowing text appeared in the void:
"You have obtained the Yellow Springs Holy Selection Pearl."
"This is proof of identity as the Yellow Springs War Master. With this pearl, you can earn the recognition of the Six Paths Yellow Springs Shards and become the master of the Yellow Springs World."
"The more Yellow Springs Shards you fuse with, the more powerful you will become."
"Please note: you need to speed up your collection of the Six Paths Yellow Springs Shards and prepare for the war to come."
Gu Qingshan glanced over the text, already understanding.
An inexplicable tension welled up inside him.
Just as Mountain and Sea Qixia had said, he, too, felt that the storm was gathering on the horizon.
—The Six Paths Competition was about to begin!
But what exactly was this war?
When would it happen?
