Gu Qingshan stood on a tree branch.

When the whole world appeared before his eyes and became reality, he realized that he was already standing on the branch of this great tree.

— but it's the shortest branch.

Looking down, the dusk Lethe River flows under his feet.

As long as you are not careful, you will fall into the river, instantly turn into a dead person, and forget everything in the past.

Gu Qingshan stepped on the branches steadily, reached out and grabbed the surrounding branches, and looked up.

On the bare branches, there were not a few leaves, but there were many hanged people.

Between heaven and earth, a new enlightenment came to mind:

No tricks.

Can't be fooled? Gu Qingshan thought secretly in his heart.

At this time, Di Jian asked, "Do you want to fly up directly?" ”

Gu Qingshan came back to his senses and said, "You can't fly, this tree is composed of the six laws, and the way to trick will be abandoned by the law and judged to be a failure." ”

"Childe, what are you going to do then?" The voice of the mountain maiden rang out.

"Climb up." Gu Qingshan said briefly.

He climbed the branches, step by step, towards the heights.

Soon, he was far away from the Lethe River.

"I didn't expect that the Holy Election of the Yellow Springs Star River Tribulation turned out to be like this." Earth Sword said with a sigh.

"Childe, be careful." Mountain Maiden Road.

Gu Qingshan remained calm and climbed quickly between the branches.

At one point, he suddenly stopped and looked up.

Directly in front of him, on a branch, hung a hanged corpse.

To the left and right of the corpse, it was full of dense branches, and there was no other way to go.

Gu Qing continued to look upward.

I saw all kinds of corpses hanging on those roads that had to be passed.

- No shortcuts.

Gu Qingshan silently recited the reminder of the law in his heart, and slowly crawled in front of the corpse.

The corpse moved, and gradually woke up.

It appeared to be a male cultivator before his death, and he was still wearing a Taoist robe.

"Ah...... It's been a long time since anyone has chosen the Yellow Spring, cultivator. The corpse said.

Gu Qingshan slowly stood up from the trunk of the tree and said, "I don't know about this, can you let me go, I want to go over." ”

The corpse smiled inexplicably and looked at Gu Qingshan.

"Teenager...... It's really young, forget it, I'll tell you, this is the path of the Holy Choice of Yellow Springs, and you need to pay enough to buy me until I'm satisfied before I can pass here. ”

"What if I have nothing to give you?" Gu Qingshan asked.

The corpse showed a look of memory and said, "At the beginning, my strength was almost as good as that of the Star River Saint, but I didn't pass this tribulation, so I was hung here. ”

It looked at Gu Qingshan, and its voice became a little more ruthless:

"I'm immortal here, and if you're really disobedient, then prepare to die, understand?"

"Understood."

Gu Qingshan said, throwing a punch lightly.

- Puppet of the Mountain!

The corpse was already holding a jade ruler, but it suddenly stopped after this punch.

Gu Qingshan grabbed the ground sword and slashed hard at the vine where the corpse was hanging.

The vines are cut off.

The corpse rolled down the trunk and fell.

Thump!

The corpse fell into the Lethe River, floated and sank a few times before disappearing.

"What's going on?" Earth Sword asked.

"I don't know." Gu Qingshan Road.

"I don't know?" Earth Sword was speechless.

"The law only tells me one rule, that is, you can't take tricks, and I guess buying this corpse is a trick." Gu Qingshan Road.

Di Jian said: "So, as long as you promised to pay the price just now, you will lose your qualification?" ”

"Yes." Gu Qingshan Road.

"Isn't it a trick to cut vines?" Dijian asked.

Gu Qingshan patiently explained: "When you encounter an obstacle on the road, if you cross the obstacle, you may be considered a trick, but if you eradicate the obstacle in order to move forward, it will definitely not be counted as a trick, because this is the stupidest way." ”

As soon as the words fell, an inexplicable feeling came from the tree.

Gu Qingshan closed his eyes for a moment, and said in surprise: "I succeeded in crossing the tribulation." ”

"What? How easy is it? "The earth sword is incomprehensible.

"Yes, if you can pass the first corpse, even if you barely finish it, you can go back." Gu Qingshan Road.

"Barely done...... What if you don't go back? Dijian asked.

"The higher you go, the stronger the power of the six realms you will gain after the tribulation." Gu Qingshan Road.

The earth sword stopped talking.

- There is no need to say anything, Gu Qingshan will definitely continue to climb up.

Gu Qingshan really said: "I want to continue to climb up, not to mention anything else, maybe I can find out some things from the past from the mouths of these dead guys." ”

He put away his sword and continued to climb upwards.

This tree was full of dry branches, dense, and full of slippery moisture, Gu Qingshan was very careful when crawling.

- In such a strange environment, the devil knows what else will come.

Finally, he broke away from the bottom of the tree and came to the second corpse.

It's a female corpse.

"Please let me pass, I don't want to do anything superfluous." Gu Qingshan Road.

The female corpse hung there, glaring at him, and said puzzledly: "Among the Holy Choices, very few people choose the Yellow Springs World, everyone generally chooses the Beast King Realm or the Heavenly Realm, why did you choose the Yellow Springs World?" ”

Gu Qingshan said frankly: "I'm a little sure, what about you?" ”

"I mainly tried to take a path that few people take, but in the end I failed." Female corpse road.

"How did you fail?" Gu Qingshan asked.

The female corpse sighed, "I chose Huangquan as my world, but I was too greedy in the Star River Tribulation, and I looked through the third layer, and was killed—I stayed here forever. ”

Gu Qingshan looked up, and saw that deep in the branches not far above the female corpse, there was indeed another corpse hanging from it.

Gu Qingshan said: "So you are hanging here, intending to stop me from continuing to climb?" ”

"Nope." Female corpse road.

Gu Qingshan was slightly stunned.

The female corpse said: "The people on this tree all want to leave the latecomers behind, so that they will feel that their failure is nothing." ”

"I understand." Gu Qingshan nodded.

The female corpse continued: "No matter what they think, what I can tell you is that on this tree, everyone can only attack a few feet in front of themselves, so as long as you are careful, self-preservation and return will not be a problem." ”

Gu Qingshan said: "Thank you for telling me this, you want to-"

"I've been here enough, and I hope to be reincarnated." Female corpse road.

Gu Qingshan said with relief: "I can help you with this." ”

He drew his sword.

"Finally, is there anything else you want to say?" He asked.

The female corpse said sadly: "After practicing for thousands of years, it ended up like this, I really don't know what the Six Realms are all about, I just want to become stronger, why suffer from these?" ”

Gu Qingshan was silent for a moment and said, "No one knows the reason, but this is the path that cultivators have to take, in order to become stronger, they can only fight for their lives, as for what it will be like in the future, what secrets are there in the six realms, only when they are stronger, can they be qualified to see it." ”

The female corpse nodded, and said tiredly: "Send me away, may I never be a cultivator again in the next life." ”

Gu Qingshan said sincerely: "Good journey, I hope you have good luck in your next life." ”

- A swing of the sword.

The female corpse fell, fell into the Lethe, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Gu Qingshan sighed, walked through the position originally occupied by the female corpse, and continued to climb upward.

For some reason, his mood became a little low.

Practitioners are always different from other professions.

No profession is struck by lightning every day, endured all kinds of calamities, and is devastated every time when it advances, and is in danger of dying every time.

Why are the Six Laws so strict?

Is it natural selection? Or are you preparing for something else?

Gu Qingshan thought as he continued to climb up.

When he arrived in front of the third corpse, another slight fluctuation of the law between heaven and earth descended and fell on him.

"What's going on?" Dijian asked.

"Hmm...... Now that the end of the tribulation will be stronger than just now. Gu Qingshan said softly.

"But you're not going to end the tragedy."

"Yes."

Gu Qingshan looked at the third corpse.

It was the corpse of an old man, and he had already raised his head and looked at Gu Qingshan with a playful expression.

"Tsk, I finally looked forward to a new person, but it was such an impulsive guy, and everyone was very unhappy." The old man said.

Gu Qingshan looked up.

I saw all the corpses hanging from the trees, all of them opened their eyes and looked at him.

"You know what? The first two guys are the weakest, and if you can't get something enough to impress me, you're going to die here. The old man said.

Trading is tantamount to cheating, and it will be disqualified directly.

No trade, only death war.

Gu Qingshan shook his head slightly, and opened his eyes to look at the dead bodies hanging from the branches.

He waved his hand and said loudly, "Hello, everyone, friends here, well, and friends over there." ”

The corpses glared at him.

Gu Qingshan cleared his throat and continued, "As for me, I'm in a bit of a bad mood right now, so I don't plan to continue talking to you." ”

"For the sake of you all dead, I came this time to bring you a gift."

He pulled out the Hell Suppressor Scepter.

On the pitch-black staff, a red glow lit up.
