Chapter 11: The Lonely Soul of the Mountain God, Du Gu's Nine Swords

  Gu Ting once again arrived at the place where he last killed a spider, standing on the mountain top, he suddenly felt bewildered. Wasn't I here to kill monsters? Why did I run all the way up to the mountain top in one breath? It was as if something here was calling out to him.

  He turned around at the top of the mountain and solved a few small monsters that didn't see far, just as he was about to leave empty-handed. He was tripped by a branch that appeared out of nowhere and fell down. In the place where he fell, he found a cellar, a door that seemed like a cave, but why did it fall on the ground? It's as if someone had cut off the entire mountain head and then flipped it 90 degrees back to its original position.

  Everything seems so strange, yet so harmonious, as if for thousands and tens of thousands of years this mountain, this cave has always been like this.

  Gǔ Tīng slid down along the entrance, and all he could hear was the sound of wind whizzing past his ears. The surroundings were pitch black, and he had no idea how long it took before he finally reached the bottom. Gǔ Tīng felt himself land on a soft grassy ground.

  Luo Di's Gu Ting found himself standing at the edge of a huge square, which was as large as two football fields. In front of him, there was a high platform, and under it, the ground was paved with massive granite stones. Everything seemed so quiet, quietly terrifying!

  Suddenly a voice sounded in Gǔ Tīng's ear: "Grape wine, night light cup, jade bowl filled with amber light, drunk and sleeping on the battlefield, don't laugh, how many people have returned from ancient times... Haha... How many people have returned from ancient times...... You who have fate, you've finally come."

  Gu Ting vigilantly looked around, the huge space was empty and devoid of anyone, only his own shadow stretched out long under the illumination of the night pearl.

  "You don't have to look for me anymore, I've been gone from here for tens of thousands of years. This is the last wisp of my soul that remains here...Fated person, I've finally waited for you....I endured this tens of thousands of years of loneliness just for today..."

  "Who are you? Why did you say I'm a destined person?"

  "Young one, listen to me as I tell you slowly. I was originally the mountain god of this mountain, ruling over everything here tens of thousands of years ago. Until one day, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly issued an edict, ordering me to gather all my subordinates and head to Mount Buzhou to await orders. Since tens of thousands of years ago, when my main body led its subordinates away, it never returned. I don't know what happened, but the flame of life of my main body had already gone out 5,000 years ago, which means that my main body has been reduced to nothing..."

  Before my physical body's flame of life goes out, I will pass on a message: "On a certain day 5,000 years later, a group of immortals will descend upon this world. They will take on the responsibility of protecting this world, but they need someone with eight characters and four pillars of four yang to lead them, to rescue the people from water and fire, otherwise the tragedy of ten thousand years ago will be reenacted."

  "I don't know what happened a thousand years ago, but since that thing happened a thousand years ago, the monsters and demons in this world have suddenly increased, and the spiritual energy in the air has also decreased. This world is no longer suitable for human cultivation, and humans are becoming weaker and weaker."

  Gu Ting said helplessly, "I don't even know my own birth eight characters, how can you be certain that I am the person with the four pillars and four yangs that you mentioned?"

  "I'm running out of time, I can sense the aura of Sword Demon, one of the Twelve Saints, on you. I trust Sword Demon's judgment, and in two months at most, I'll be gone for good. After all, I'm just a wisp of residual soul. I believe you can lead the undead to protect this world." The Mountain God's residual soul continued.

  Before I die, I used all my remaining energy to create a space that is almost identical to the world thousands of years ago. However, I can only send you in, but I don't have the ability to bring you out. Only if you possess the ability to break through the barrier yourself can you come out from inside... Young man, do you want to become stronger? Are you willing to accept my trial?

  Ding! System Prompt:

  The Mountain God's residual soul invites you to participate in the trial, the Mountain God's test. Will you accept?

  Task Reward: Unknown.

  Gǔ Tīng looked at the prompt in front of him, Task Reward: Unknown, which meant that it was very likely to reward top-notch equipment or a large amount of experience and money; Task Difficulty: 30-----50000, which meant that this task was very likely to have a shortcut to complete. Looking at these prompts, Gǔ Tīng resolutely chose to accept the task, he wanted to become stronger, he wanted to be able to protect his loved ones and brothers in the future, he had no other choice...

  Ding! You have entered the first layer of the Mountain God's Trial Grounds. Kill all the monsters and the level one guardian to enter the second layer.

  Current monster kills: 0/500.

  Gu Ting slowly sized up the first layer of the trial cave, the golden yellow ground, various mountain peaks and hills reflecting each other, dry land, a huge crack stretching into the distance...

  Monster Name: Grave Robber (Normal Monster)

  Humanoid monsters, the lingering souls of tomb raiders from various eras.

  Magnitude: 5----8

  Attack: 30-60 points

  Defense: 54 points

  Monster properties: distribution is relatively scattered.

  Skills: None.

  Looking at the lone monster in the distance, Gu Ting gripped his Qingfeng sword tightly... Kill!

  Gudong unconsciously began to use the moves of Dugu Qiubai in his mind: Broken Sword Style, Broken Blade Style, Broken Spear Style, Broken Rope Style, Broken Palm Style, Broken Arrow Style, and Broken Air Style.

  （Before that, it was not possible because Gu Ding's level had not reached 5. Only after reaching level 5 can new players use martial arts other than beginner martial arts. Generally, players will have other martial arts after completing the transfer at level 10, but Gu Ding is an exception.）

  He silently recited the final decision of Dugu Jiujian (legendary martial art): Return to Guimei, approach Wuwang, Wuwang approaches Tongren, Tongren approaches Dayou. Jia turns into Bing, Bing turns into Geng, Geng turns into Gui. The intersection of Zi and Chou, the intersection of Chen and Si, the intersection of Wu and Wei. Wind and thunder are one change, mountain and swamp are one change, water and fire are one change. Qian and Kun collide, Zhen and Xun collide, Li and Kan collide. Three increases to form five, five increases to form nine.

  Recalling his master's words, he made a move... another move... yet another move... and another move... Gu Ting forgot himself... at this moment, there was only the sword in his heart.

  As the grave robbers fell one by one, Gu Ting's experience was also rising rapidly...

  Gu Ting didn't feel the passage of time at all...

  Qian Kun Wu Xue system is divided into:

  1. Novice martial arts: Generally belongs to the lower-level martial arts of the Jianghu, can be learned in a martial arts school or some small sects' entry-level martial skills. Generally, escorts and martial artists who travel the Jianghu will know this kind of martial art, which is not particularly powerful, but more focused on strengthening the body and physical fitness, stronger than those who do not know martial arts.

  2. Basic martial arts: Generally refers to certain schools or factions with some power, and also serves as a foundation for further development; after mastering it, one can roam the Jianghu (martial world), but that's all.

  3. Mid-level martial arts: This type of martial art is more profound and generally has some reputation in the Jianghu; after many years of practice, it can also become a good hand in the Jianghu; it is usually the main force of small schools or gangs, and in some large schools, it is often the orthodox disciples' martial art.

  4. Advanced Martial Arts: This level of martial arts has great power and is the goal of competition among various schools and factions; those who have mastered this level of martial arts are already famous in the martial world, with the right to speak in their respective schools and factions; a school that possesses such martial arts can already dominate one side.

  5. Master-level martial arts: Every set of martial arts at this level is top-notch, each one the result of its creator's painstaking effort and dedication. Practicing such martial arts can drive people crazy with desire. Those who master these martial arts are already considered top-notch seniors in the Jianghu world, where they rarely meet their match. Such figures are few and far between in the Jianghu world; sects that possess such high-level martial arts are also renowned as major powers.

  6. Legendary Martial Arts: The legendary martial arts, this kind of martial arts generally does not appear in the Jianghu, if it appears in the Jianghu, it will definitely bring countless storms and blood rains; those who practice this kind of martial arts must be a master-level unparalleled expert, even the top masters in the Jianghu have to admit defeat; ordinary schools do not have such martial arts.

  7. Transcendent Martial Arts: An existence akin to a god, this martial art is an existence that defies the heavens. In the thousands of years of history of Wuxia, among hundreds of schools of martial arts, there are less than 10 such martial arts, and those who have successfully cultivated them are extremely rare, because they defy the heavens, most have been lost to the ages.

  8. Divine Martial Arts: Said to exist in the realm of gods, a martial arts technique that has never been seen by anyone, only existing in mythological stories passed down through word of mouth. Its power is unknown.
