Gu Qing Shan sighed helplessly.
A human cultivatoring to the Wraith Realm to face his tribtion can be thought of as nothing but a provocation.
<i>If I begin to face my Tribtion right now, my identity would be exposed.</i>
<i>To protect his dignity, the Lord of Total Distortion would surely rip me to shreds.</i>
<i>The other evil creatures would also attack me.</i>
<i>If that happened, even if I could escape from the Lord of Total Distortion, I wouldn’t be able to return to the Wraith Realm.</i>
<i>What can I do to avoid the evil creatures and begin breaking through?</i>
Gu Qing Shan silently contemted.
At a certain point.
His Inventory Bag moved.
The jade gourd pendant appeared again.
It flew in front of Gu Qing Shan’s face and loudly squeaked, trying to draw Gu Qing Shan’s attention.
<i>Xiu…</i>
“How much?”
<i>Xiu xiu xiu!</i>
“Here”
Because of how rich Gu Qing Shan currently was, he just put 20,000 Soul Points into it without thought.
Being nurtured, the jade gourd pendant became lively again.
It flew in a number 8 pattern in front of Gu Qing Shan, trying to tter him.
<i>Xiu xiu xiu, xiu xiu xiuuuu xiu!</i>
(You’re so generous, boss, hope you keep earning more profit!)
“Sheesh, go back to sleep already, I’m feeling troubled here” Gu Qing Shan said angrily.
But the jade gourd pendant didn’t crawl into the Inventory Bag right away.
It slowly hovered around Gu Qing Shan and observed his expression.
<i>Wu wu?</i>
(Did you get dumped?)
Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer.
<i>Xiu—— xiu xiu xiu xiu?</i>
(Ah—– your wife ran away with someone else?)
Gu Qing Shan ignored this real piece of work of a jade pendant.
Seeing his indifferent expression, the jade gourd pendant stopped in mid-air as if it was shocked.
<i>Xiu xiu xiu wu wu?</i>
(Could it be, you didn’t actually have much Soul Points?)
Itnded on Gu Qing Shan’s palm, trying to put all of its Soul Points back into Gu Qing Shan’s body.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t bear to act cold anymore.
He lifted the jade gourd pendant and told it: “If you really want to know, I’ll tell you. It’s because there’s something I can’t really do here conveniently that I’m a bit upset”
<i>Wu wu?</i>
(Pooping?)
“No, breaking through”
The gourd squeaked in surprise.
<i>Wu wu, xiu xiu xiu!</i>
(Of course, this is the Wraith Realm you know!)
Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly: “I know, that’s why I’m bothered by this”
The jade gourd pendant flew up again, circled around him, then crawled back into his Inventory Bag.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t pay much attention to it.
No matter how impressive this jade pendant was, he couldn’t depend on it to know everything.
He fell back into contemtion, thinking about a certain thing over and over again.
<i>——how much time does the Earth sword have left?</i>
<i>I spent all that effort to exchange one cast of the [Death Suspension] ability from the Lord of Total Distortion.</i>
<i>But even the Lord of Total Distortion doesn’t know how long this ability wouldst.</i>
<i>After spending a few days here, I already found out the general situation of the Lord of Total Distortion’s subordinates.</i>
<i>It was extremely rare for an evil creature to have a temporal Mystic-type ability.</i>
<i>There wasn’t a single evil creature around the Chaos Demonic Sea who had an ability of the same nature as [Death Suspension]</i>
<i>In other words, as soon as this temporal ability that’s affecting the Earth sword ended, I would have no other solution.</i>
Gu Qing Shan clenched his fists tightly.
<i>No!</i>
<i>I can’t dy this any further!</i>
Gu Qing Shan abruptly stood up, and left his room.
He walked quickly along the hallway of the ship until he reached the edge of the deck.
「 Xie Qi Ruler, where are you going sir? 」a devil guard came up and asked him.
“To get some dinner” Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Understood, please be careful 」
After hearing that, the devil guard didn’t ask anything else.
The Lord of Total Distortion had a team of personal chefs, but beside himself and his two daughters, no one was allowed to share a meal with him.
So the other evil creatures have to catch their own food from the ocean.
——-of course, there were always some unlucky fellows that got eaten by demonic sea creatures instead.
Fortunately, thanks to the Demon Dragon’s nail that was hung on top of the ship’s sails, many demonic sea creatures avoided this area.
Most evil creatures could go into the ocean and get some normal seafood without much trouble for thest few days.
Gu Qing Shan leapt off the deck and dived into the water.
The Chao Yin sword let out a loud cry as it followed behind him.
Right away, the seawater in front of Gu Qing Shan moved out of the way and formed a long road that allowed him to fly through the ocean as he pleased.
Half an hourter.
Gu Qing Shan was now a long distance away from the ship.
He flew at full speed and even asionally used [Ground Shrink], only after getting a few ten thousand miles away did he gradually slow down.
This should be far enough from the giant ship.
Gu Qing Shan stopped.
He didn’t continue to fly forward but began to descend.
———he dived down into the depths of the sea!
A few thousand meters.
10,000 meters.
50,000 meters.
100,000 meters.
190,000 meters.
300,000 meters.
600,000 meters.
1,007,000 meters!
Legends had it that after going past the Wood Bristles, the Ocean Abyss would be so deep it was practically bottomless, but as Gu Qing Shan saw it, even without reaching the Ocean Abyss, this ce already felt bottomless.
——-it he didn’t have the Chao Yin sword to control the water around himself, Gu Qing Shan’s cultivation wouldn’t be enough to do anything here.
Standing at the bottom of the ocean, Gu Qing Shan observed as various giant sea monsters quickly swam past him.
This ce should already be far enough from the giant ship, and even further away from the Ocean Abyss, but it was still the bottom of the sea, so this area should be enough for him to not worry about the Lord of Total Distortion or any ancient demonic sea creatures over 100 million years old.
As for the demonic sea creatures that were at the 10-million years old level——-
Gu Qing Shan took out his Demon Dragon nail and randomly put it on the ground.
As soon as the curious sea creatures around him saw that, they immediately scattered.
Don’t even joke about it, if they got assimted by that thing, their lives would be reduced to just over a few hundred thousand years!
“Chao Yin, give me a clear area, enough for a few dozen to stand”
The Chao Yin sword vibrated a bit and created a bigger area around where Gu Qing Shan stood.
“You’ve worked hard” Gu Qing Shan said.
He then took out a pill, ate it, and began to rest.
About half an incense’s worth of timeter, he opened his eyes, having returned to his peak state.
He finally said the words he has been waiting for so long:
“Break through”
As soon as he did, a line of blood-red text appeared in front of his eyes.
[You’ve chosen to break through]
At the center of the [Kindling] UI, the progress bar at the bottom of the Lapis Card [Sword cultivator Gu Qing Shan] turned into burning mes.
More blood-red text appeared.
[The Void Wanderer realm Tribtion is about to begin]
[Attention please, as you are a cultivator, you will have to face the Wind and Fire Double Tribtion]
[After the countdown, your Tribtion shall begin]
[5]
[4]
[3]
[2]
[1!]
All the text vanished from the blood-red UI.
The wind began to pick up.
The Wind Tribtion was up first.
Various voices and noises came out from this undersea area that the Chao Yin sword opened up.
『 Kishishishis— 』
「 Ahihihihih—– 」
「 Flesh! A cultivator’s flesh! 」
『 Another idiot, I want to devour him whole! 』
『 Where is this ce? 』
「 Looks like the bottom of the sea 」
『 Huh? Strange, why do I feel that I haven’t gone to the Primordial Heaven Realm? 』
Powerful evil creatures appeared one after another.
Gu Qing Shan calmly stood there without saying a word.
All the way until the evil creatures have taken up all the Seats of Tribtion———-
The evil creatures were a bit shocked as they observed their surroundings.
Then they realized, everything was this cultivator’s doing.
『 Bastard, I’ve never heard of a cultivator facing their Tribtion at the bottom of the sea 』
「 Human cultivator, have you chosen this as your ce to die? 」
『 Why isn’t the seawatering down? Is this his ability? 』
The evil creatures all stared at Gu Qing Shan and discussed without minding him.
Gu Qing Shan looked up and nced at the evil creatures around him.
“My apologies, but my time is precious”
He simply said so.
A secondter.
Aside from where he was standing, the seawater suddenly rushed in.
