Celestial Emperor 2
Ch. 601 - Finished Just So

Inside Lotus Island, Qin Shan's followers were stunned and speechless as they watched all the things that were happening in the real world. When Qin Shan asked them about what had really happened, they cursed him inwardly, "You should have explained all this to us!"

According to what Ji Zhufei said, he knew nothing about the white-robed ghost that could speak. Even during the history of the Primordial World, he had never heard of this at all. Moreover he was still very curious why the third exam that was supposed to end in another year and a half suddenly ended early.

“The ghost seems to have many secrets that are very surprising. From his strength alone, I can guess that he is much stronger than you, Mr.” Ji Zhufei who was still a little shocked tried to express his opinion. “In addition, the Ghost says that he will wait for you in the World of Resurrection. What kind of place is the world? Do you know it?”

Compared to the true identity of the white-robed ghost, Ji Zhufei was more curious about the World of Resurrection. He had lived for countless years, only this time he heard of the place. Moreover, the place was spoken by a mysterious strange Ghost.

Qin Shan heard this and he could only smile wryly. He broadly knew what kind of place the Resurrection World was said to be the white-robed Ghost. That world belongs to one of the Seven Worlds. According to Jie Yun's explanation in the past, the World of Resurrection was an extremely vast and silent world. Qin Shan basically did not know for sure about the place.

Although Qin Shan knew little about the World of Resurrection, he felt reluctant to explain it to Ji Zhufei. According to him telling Ji Zhufei that was a bad choice because it could shake his Heartpeace.

Actually, when a person receives a very surprising and unbelievable fact, that person is likely to experience a tremendous shock in his heart. It is so dangerous that it can tear down one's dao foundation. The phrase 'The less you know, the better', is probably something that makes sense.

“I don't know.” Qin Shan replied calmly and he immediately left the Third Island.

Realizing that Qin Shan did not want to say any further, Ji Zhufei simply kept silent and did not think about it any further.

…

Qin Shan was actually still in a bit of shock due to the previous events. However he tried to remain calm and flew at high speed towards the Fourth Examination Island.

The Universe has a wide variety of unsolved secrets and mysteries. He who was only a Venerable Immortal would not know how vast and terrifying the world out there was. Meeting one strangeness should not be a surprise to him, because in the future he will encounter countless oddities and mysteries. That was why he had to prepare himself and his heart from now on.

As Qin Shan was still trying to calm his faltering Heartpeace, he realized that he had been flying for several months at full speed. It turned out that the loot between the Third and Fourth Examination Island was very far away.

Keep in mind, to surround the Five Elements Treasure Realm alone Qin Shan only needed about half a year at his highest speed. With this fact alone, he already knew that the Deep Ocean Oblique Region was not as small as he had expected.

“What is the Fourth Exam Island like?” The calm Qin Shan asked Ji Zhufei. Keep in mind, it is Qin Shan. All actions that he will do in the future must be calculated from the beginning. Although it sounds simple but this is what makes it able to survive until now.

“The Fourth Examination Island is a volcanic crater filled with hot molten magma. Inside there were guards of the highest level of Heavenly God numbering thousands of people who would fight with you to the death. In fact this does not deserve to be called a fight and is more worthy of being called torture. Those guards will not be merciful and merciful to you even if you kneel down and lick their feet. If you have wealth though, you won't be able to bribe them.” Ji Zhufei explained in a frightening tone.

Upon hearing this, the terrifying shadow of the Fourth Examination place had already appeared in Qin Shan's mind and he became goosebumps. There were more than a thousand guards who were at least level 9th level Immortal Venerable, even he would have great difficulty facing them.

“If you can't kill them all, then you'll be given another chance. Actually me and Yu Qingzun survived for taking this opportunity.” Ji Zhufei continued and suddenly his face turned pale and his body trembled. He remembered the most terrible times he had ever experienced in his life. Not only Ji Zhufei, Yu Qingzun was also seen revealing the same expression.

“What opportunity?” qin Shan asked in astonishment.

“Bound in a wood and then baked on hot magma for a hundred years.” Yu Qingzun was the one who answered and his voice trembled as he said that.

If told to choose, Qin Shan would naturally choose to fight with the guards without any hesitation at all. This place was truly terrifying and was the Hell of the world.

Qin Shan did not say much anymore and he continued flying at high speed towards the front. After being in the sky for a few more months, he had finally arrived at a large island that had a terrifying Volcano in its midst. At the center of the Volcano there is a deep basin filled with lava rocks and hot molten magma.

“Sounds like it's the place.” Qin Shan stared at the outskirts of the Volcano which contained a stone altar there. He approached the place as fast as lightning.

Pondered and prepared for a while. Qin Shan immediately activated the formation that was on the altar quickly. In just a split second, a giant seal and rune array appeared above the sky to cover the entire island.

Qin Shan was stunned when this happened, he even spent days admiring and trying to learn the terrifying formation from the place. But something's wrong...

“Where are the guards who will fight me to the death?” Qin Shan felt puzzled and he swept his gaze across the island. Upon realizing that nothing strange had happened, he was startled by the sudden collapse of the array formation that enveloped the island.

Qin Shan was stunned. His mouth was wide open as he experienced all this. It turned out that there was nothing on the Fourth Examination Island, no cruel guards, nor was there any wood used for grilling. Has Ji Zhufei lied to him about the Fourth Examination? Qin Shan shook his head and thought that it was impossible. He still remembered how the expressions of trauma that Yu Qingzun and Ji Zhufei had displayed as they explained regarding the fourth test. Such expressions certainly cannot be made up on purpose.

“What the fuck is this?” the followers of Qin Shan who were inside Lotus Island became extremely shocked. Among them, the more depressed were Ji Zhufei and Hu Qingzun. They were furious and almost spewed out all the blood in their bodies while witnessing all this.

'Why does this madman continue to experience the absurd events that always benefit him? I don't accept this reality!' Ji Zhufei and Yu Qingzun secretly berated Qin Shan inwardly.

Despite feeling very confused, Qin Shan still felt happy because he did not need to spend time and effort to complete the Fourth Examination. He happily flew back and headed for the Fifth Examination Island with a smile.

Without Qin Shan noticing, actually the Fourth Examination Island had guards numbering in the hundreds of thousands. However, all of them did not dare to go out to face Qin Shan and remained hidden inside the Unbaseless Hole on one side of the Volcano. In their home world, they already knew how powerful and ruthless Qin Shan was when fighting his enemies. This human had even killed hundreds of thousands of Forgotten Souls just to feed his Magical Treasure, was there anyone more ruthless than Qin Shan in this place? That was the reason why those guards became so afraid of Qin Shan.

…

After a long journey of several months, Qin Shan finally arrived at the Fifth Examination Island. This place is an island in the middle of which there is a pond covering thousands of kilometers that emits a mysterious aura.

Ji Zhufei was the only person who had ever gotten to this place and passed the test here. He explained to Qin Shan that in this place one would be forcefully drowned by a Pool Guard.

The water in this pool is different from ordinary water in the real world. The water in this pond contained some sort of mysterious energy that even a Heavenly God could not hold his breath for ten seconds in the water.

“A guard will put your head in the pool to make your lungs submerged in water. You'll be removed once every hour to get the water out of your lungs, and then you'll be drowned again. All of this will continue to repeat itself for twenty years. You can't fight against the Pool Guards because that person doesn't seem to be at the Heavenly God stage, but rather far above it!” Ji Zhufei explained with a face filled with terror.

Qin Shan who heard this gulped his saliva and a hint of horror appeared in his heart. However, he had no other choice at the moment, if he wanted to leave the Deep Ocean Oblique then he would have to pass all the exams present in this place. As he went to the side of the pond to activate the formation array on the stone altar, the entire island was immediately enveloped by an extremely powerful array. After a few hours, nothing happened. There were no Pool Guards and even the water in the Pool slowly started to dry up.

Ji Zhufei who witnessed this could not believe what he saw. “MUSTAHIL!”
