622: Three kalpas and five declines

It really was Luoli.

Gu Qing felt the joy of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land.

Although he didn't know how Luoli came to the Origin Continent, or how she knew of his existence.

However, the Goddess Lei Ye spoke of was undoubtedly Luoli.

It's just that Luoli joined the Lingxu Sect and was eager to find him. Could it be that Tianxu told her, and she was acting on Tianxu's orders to find him?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Gu Qing calmly said, "Lead the way."

No matter what the situation, speculation was just speculation. Only by meeting her would he know, and then he could devise a countermeasure.

Anyway, he had the Primordial Chaos Sky-Opening Banner and the Invisible Escape Technique.

The Boundless Secret Realm prohibits the appearance of power above the Saint Realm, so he was an invincible existence.

"Goddess Ruyu, please!"

Lei Ye was overjoyed and immediately brought out his flying boat, inviting Gu Qing to board it.

As for Xu Ying and Long Ye, he completely ignored them.

"Just call me Yu Qing," Gu Qing corrected Lei Ye coldly.

..."Goddess Yu Qing, please!"

"..."

Are you blind?

If it weren't for the fact that this person was Luoli's subordinate, Gu Qing would have wanted to slap this blockhead to death.

As for explaining, this kind of thing was simply impossible to explain.

Gu Qing brought out his Spacetime Shuttle: "Where is Luoli? Give me the coordinates."

The Boundless Secret Realm was vast and boundless. Who knew how far Luoli was from him? By the time Lei Ye led him to Luoli, the day would probably be over.

"The Goddess is in Myriad Tribulation Valley." Lei Ye took out a sphere of light, which was a positioning Magic Treasure refined by the Lingxu Sect.

The Lingxu Sect was a Divine-Grade Sect, a Dominator of the Origin Continent. Over countless years, its Disciples had explored many treasure grounds in the Boundless Secret Realm.

Coupled with the coordinates of treasure grounds they had purchased, they refined them into a coordinate positioning Magic Treasure.

The value of this Magic Treasure was immeasurable, and only Core Disciples of the Lingxu Sect were qualified to possess it.

Lei Ye giving the coordinate positioning Magic Treasure to Gu Qing was certainly not out of generosity.

He completely trusted Luoli.

If Gu Qing was not Luoli's friend, then Gu Qing would surely be doomed.

If they were friends, that would be even better; it would be considered making friends with Gu Qing.

Anyway, the coordinate positioning Magic Treasure couldn't be located just by looking at it; at most, it would let Gu Qing know the place name.

Xu Ying glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze.

Long Ye stood in place, his eyes filled with admiration as he examined the Spacetime Shuttle. With his eyesight, he could naturally discern the profundity of the Spacetime Shuttle.

This was a flying boat that could jump through space and outrun time.

Such a supreme flying treasure, throughout the entire Origin Continent, was considered a supreme treasure.

"I wonder if Yu Qing is willing to trade this flying boat. If so, I wouldn't mind trading a few Secret Realms with Rank 8 Innate Formations," Long Ye thought to himself.

He stepped onto the flying boat. Only a fool wouldn't take such a good ride.

As for White Dragon City, it didn't need him to guard it at all. No one so blind would dare to loot their Dragon Clan city.

"Good stuff..." Gu Qing thought to himself, his Divine Thought sweeping over the coordinate positioning Magic Treasure.

Immediately, an identical coordinate positioning Magic Treasure materialized in his mind.

Gu Qing calmly took Lei Ye's coordinate positioning Magic Treasure, secretly compared them, and found them to be identical.

Only then did he place the coordinate positioning Magic Treasure as if on the flying boat's control panel, lock the coordinates, and infuse it with magical power. The Spacetime Shuttle instantly transformed into a stream of light, shuttling through spacetime.

When fully unleashed, the Spacetime Shuttle's speed was immeasurable, surpassing time and leaping through space.

A journey that would take Saints several days would take the Spacetime Shuttle at most two hours to reach Myriad Tribulation Valley.

Gu Qing asked, "Are there any treasures about to appear in Myriad Tribulation Valley?"

"Uh... doesn't Yu Qing know that the Myriad Tribulation Fruit ripens every time the Boundless Secret Realm opens?" Lei Ye asked in surprise.

Since Gu Qing knew Luoli, he shouldn't be an ignorant Divine being, right?

"..." Gu Qing: "I naturally know. Besides the Myriad Tribulation Fruit, are there any other treasures appearing?"

In fact, he didn't even know about Myriad Tribulation Valley, let alone the Myriad Tribulation Fruit.

But he certainly didn't need to say that directly.

Although it was just a sentence, if he said it, it would immediately expose him as having no Sect, no backing, and being a Loose Cultivator.

"No."

Lei Ye also didn't suspect anything and said with a regretful expression, "There has always been a rumor about Myriad Tribulation Valley: that a Heavenly Dao-Grade treasure is gestating within it. But since ancient times, countless Saints have entered to search, yet they haven't found a single clue."

"Didn't any Saints turn Myriad Tribulation Valley upside down?" Gu Qing asked.

"Naturally, they did."

Lei Ye nodded with a solemn expression: "However, Myriad Tribulation Valley has a Heavenly Dao-Grade concealment Formation. They were either killed or permanently trapped in Myriad Tribulation Valley."

"Even when the Secret Realm closed, they were not teleported out."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing was overjoyed.

He wasn't afraid of Heavenly Dao-Grade Formations; he was only afraid of there being none.

After all, he possessed the Myriad Transformations Chaos Innate Divine Ability. No Formation could trap him.

Coupled with a pair of Dao Eyes that saw through to the essence, the treasures gestating within were practically within his grasp.

"Heh!"

Seeing Gu Qing's eager expression, Xu Ying sneered disdainfully: "Overestimating yourself."

Since ancient times, countless Saint powerhouses, including Saints at the Perfection of the Ninth Realm, had perished in Myriad Tribulation Valley.

Gu Qing actually fantasized about obtaining the treasures of Myriad Tribulation Valley; it was simply wishful thinking.

Furthermore, whether Gu Qing could survive Luoli's hands was still up in the air.

Luoli was an unparalleled Prodigy who had slain Saints.

However... Xu Ying was inwardly perplexed.

Looking at Gu Qing, he didn't seem to have any enmity with Luoli, did he?

Then why did Luoli want to kill Gu Qing?

Gu Qing ignored Xu Ying and asked You Meng in his mind: "Godfather, what grade of treasure is the Myriad Tribulation Fruit? What is its use?"

"It's an unranked Dao Fruit. Its only purpose is to preserve one's life under the Three Tribulations and Five Declines," You Meng said.

"Huh? What are the Three Tribulations and Five Declines?" Gu Qing was stunned.

"These are calamities brought down by the Great Dao upon Saints and Celestials. Every Saint, if they cannot Breakthrough to the Heavenly Dao Realm within one epoch, their Saint's magical power, Divine Soul, physique, Dao Fruit, and Origin will decline, weakening to an extreme point. In severe cases, they will decline to the point of perishing."

"Besides the decline, there are also Human Tribulations, Heavenly Tribulations, and Dao Tribulations. Each Tribulation varies from person to person, is bizarre and unpredictable, and extremely perilous."

"Celestials in the Heavenly Dao Realm, on the other hand, must Breakthrough to a Chaos Dominator within nine epochs, otherwise, the Great Dao will inevitably bring down the Three Tribulations and Five Declines upon them."

"Every person Undergoing Tribulation has experienced a near-death situation."

You Meng informed Gu Qing of the Three Tribulations and Five Declines in one breath.

"..." Hearing 'near-death situation', Gu Qing's face turned pale with fright: "Godfather, are the Three Tribulations and Five Declines really that terrifying?"

"The Three Tribulations and Five Declines are even more terrifying than what I've said." You Meng's voice was cold and stern, and he said word by word: "Most Saints and Celestials in the world have perished under the Three Tribulations and Five Declines."

Although Saints and Celestials had great battles, Saints and Celestials both possessed the characteristic of being indestructible. Those of the same rank simply couldn't obliterate each other.

Not everyone was like Gu Qing, who had comprehended a Dao-Grade Divine Ability and possessed a great killing weapon that could slay those of the same rank, and even kill enemies of higher ranks.
