As the dignified voice spoke, a glowing white lotus landed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
A holy maiden said: "Heavenly Lord, quickly pluck the white lotus, with it, you can officially stay in Cloud Sea realm"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the white lotus, a bit stunned.
My merit can't be measured?
What do I do now?
Another holy maiden said: "This lotus is a Merit Fruit, specifically responsible for calculating the Heavenly Lord's merit — — of course, Heavenly Lord's merit cannot be measured, it is only responsible for proving that you are the Heavenly Lord of Cloud Sea realm"
The other holy maidens all laughed.
Gu Qing Shan didn't reach out to take the white lotus.
He stepped on the lotus seed pod and said: "Then … … please help me calculate my karma"
The Karmic Fire Purifying Lotus Flower slowly gave off a black-red light that circled back and forth.
The holy maidens all became nervous.
"Be careful, Heavenly Lord, karma is a very powerful thing, don't let it harm you" a holy maiden reminded him.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I value my life very much"
A few moments later.
A black lotus seed suddenly jumped out from the lotus seed pod and split open with a 'pop'.
The dignified voice spoke again:
『This person has killed billions of living beings, his karma cannot be measured』
The holy maidens all froze.
This Heavenly Lord is so strange, why can't his merit and karma be measured?
What exactly did he do?
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
A few moments later.
A black lotus descended from the sky and landed in front of him.
The black lotus and white lotus both floated in the air, silent and motionless.
The holy maidens looked at Gu Qing Shan and noticed his hesitation.
A holy maiden cried out as she knelt on the ground: "Heavenly Lord, you have countless merits, don't put yourself in danger"
Gu Qing Shan gently spoke: "I only want to know, has anyone ever been to the Yama stratum?"
The holy maidens all shook their heads.
Only one holy maiden spoke: "Among the holy maidens, I am the oldest, so I once saw someone take the black lotus and go to the Yama stratum"
"And then?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"On the second day, his dismembered corpse was tossed down from the Yama layer. Several Heavenly Lords worked on it for an entire day and night, but they still couldn't complete it," the Holy Daughter said.
Gu Qing Shan remained silent.
The Tian Nu knelt down in front of Gu Qing Shan and said in a soft voice, "Cloud Sea Jie has endless blessings, and the Ye Mo level has to bear the pain of karma. Why is Tian Lord so stupid?"
"All of us women are rare beauties in this world. We will obey the Heavenly Lord and serve the Heavenly Lord wholeheartedly every day. We guarantee that the Heavenly Lord will enjoy immortal blessings."
The heavenly ladies knelt in front of Gu Qing Shan and begged, "Heavenly Lord, please cherish your life and stay in Cloud Sea."
Gu Qing Shan looked up at the dark sky and suddenly smiled.
"I'm sorry" he looked at the girls and said apologetically: "Someone is waiting for me to return"
The Earth sword appeared from the void of space, held in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
He didn't care about the black and white lotuses or the girls as he flew straight up to the sky.
Halfway there, there was movement in the dark sky.
A deafening voice resounded from all directions:
「 To the Yama layer, you need the Karma Lotus to pass! 」
Gu Qing Shan stopped and loudly asked: "You mean the black lotus?"
The deafening voice replied: 「 That is correct 」
"But I forgot, what do I do now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Go back and get it! 」 the deafening voice replied.
"Then can you wait for me for a bit?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Quickly! 」 the deafening voice replied.
"After I get it, I'll probably need to take a bath and eat some food, can you wait that long?"
"Go get it!"
"Won't you get impatient if you keep waiting for me like this?"
"You need to get the black lotus to pass!"
"I'll go get it and bring you something to eat, what do you want to eat?"
"Bring me the black lotus!"
"Got it!"
Gu Qing Shan's figure flashed.
He went through the void of space and directly appeared at the top of the night sky.
The Earth sword gave off intense moonlight sword phantoms and slashed upwards!
Boom!
The sky was cut open.
The darkness slowly receded.
Boundless light descended upon Gu Qing Shan, making him look like a deity.
"I'm such an idiot, talking to a spell for so long" Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.
He flew straight into the sky.
Everything around him was vast.
Boundless clouds covered everything.
Gu Qing Shan kept flying upwards and quickly left the layer of clouds.
It was completely silent, with only a small black dot at the end of his vision.
It was a dilapidated pavilion.
A single person stood in the pavilion with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down at the sea of clouds below.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan appeared, he was already clapping and laughing: "As expected of the Huang Quan Devil King, reaching this place so easily"
As Gu Qing Shan's inner sight scanned through the other party, his expression turned serious.
The other party was wearing a mask.
A yaksha mask.
The man took out a short tea table, two cushions, and a tea set.
He sat down first and skillfully brewed the tea.
"I thought the sea of clouds would be able to trap the Devil King, so I was a bit slow, I'm truly ashamed, allow me to toast the Devil King with this cup of tea"
Gu Qing Shan slowly flew over and landed in the ruined pavilion.
He sat down on the other cushion and clasped his fist: "Thank you for your hospitality, may I ask why you were waiting for me here?"
The man lowered his head to brew the tea and casually replied: "My master ordered me to come here"
"Your master?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Hm, the Huang Quan fragment world was originally used as a prison to imprison criminals, it had always been safe and secure, but the Devil King broke through the hell and released countless criminals. Although this wasn't a big deal, in the end, it was my master's doing, causing him to lose a bit of face"
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "Originally, I was crying and screaming that I didn't want to go to Huang Quan, but someone insisted on transporting me there. To save my own life, I had no choice but to find a few helpers, please understand"
The man went silent briefly, then smiled: "I'm a bit curious, how did the Devil King notice that the sea of clouds was an illusion?"
He pushed a cup of tea in front of Gu Qing Shan and said: "Please enlighten us, Devil King, so that we can improve ourselves"
"What about this sea of clouds illusion — —" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The man nodded: "It was my master's private plot of land, so there's a bit of profit"
Gu Qing Shan sincerely replied: "I didn't notice that it was an illusion, I really wanted to return"
The man asked: "Because someone was waiting for you?"
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The man questioned further: "To return, you're willing to ignore such a Surpassing realm?"
"It's called a Surpassing realm, but it's actually a cage"
"Why is that?"
"The so-called cultivation is to advance bravely, to go against the flow, to search for the truth of the world, to use your own will to create your own destiny, not to indulge in pleasure and stagnate"
Gu Qing Shan's tone became heavier: "Every cultivator, once they decide to stop at the Cloud realm, they're already unworthy of the word 'cultivation'"
The man went silent for a while, then swung his sleeve.
The sea of clouds outside the ruined pavilion scattered.
Countless cultivators hovered in the air, their bodies pierced by thorny vines.
Ji ji — — - gu — -
The sound of blood flowing was very faint, but when countless of these noises overlapped each other, it became quite terrifying.
Strangely, all of these cultivators had smiles on their faces, as if they were in some sort of dream.
The man spoke: "The {Yama Heavenly Realm} has long since been destroyed, only this ruined pavilion that we're sitting on right now"
"My master had used a few methods to modify this place so that the cultivators who came to face their Tribulation would feel at home"
"Of course, as long as they stay here, they will have to use their flesh, spirit energy, and Soul Points as payment"
"With the vines here, this will become a long process, everything they have will be used to its fullest potential"
Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered a bit and asked: "White lotus? Merit Fruits? "
"The Devil King is wise, the so-called Merit Fruits are indeed manifested from the seeds of the Demon Spider Vines" the man praised.
While they were talking, one of the cultivators was suddenly sucked dry.
The vines scattered, allowing the corpse to fall down from the clouds.
Gu Qing Shan activated the Devil King Warden Rod in her Thought Sea and lightly touched the corpse.
— — -no soul.
Even this person's soul had been sucked dry.
"Look, this great Lord of Heaven had finished enjoying his blessings and returned to his own world"
The man sighed and continued, "That's right.
"The Lords of Heaven who shared his ideals even held a banquet for 3 days and 3 nights to send him off"
"What a perfect life. Sometimes, when I think about it, perhaps he really did have good karma"
He waved his hand.
The sea of clouds quickly closed up.
"Devil King, now let us talk business" the man's tone became serious.
"Please go ahead" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The man continued: "Your ability is very unique, you can watch over hell for us, this way, we can save quite a bit of manpower"
A mask appeared on the table.
This mask was engraved with complicated runes that gave off powerful magical power, but it was completely different from the other Wraith masks that Gu Qing Shan had seen before.
"Master said that if you can pass through the sea of clouds, you'll have some abilities that can be used"
The man continued: "Wear this mask and become my master's servant, the matter of the Huang Quan chaos will be forgotten"
Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell onto the mask and doubtfully asked: "Why are there only runes on this mask and not Wraith?"
The man scoffed: "Of course a servant has to be restricted, of course they can't be compared to the masters — — - alright, I can see that you're a smart person, don't miss this chance to live"
The man pushed the mask in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan gladly reached his hand out to take the mask, but then stopped.
He pulled his hand back, looked at the man and asked: "You're your master's servant?"
The man nodded: "I am"
Gu Qing Shan clasped her fist and sincerely spoke: "There's something I've never done before, and I won't do it in the future, so I don't know the truth behind it. I've always been confused about it, please enlighten me sir"
The man was surprised and asked: "What is it?"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "May I ask sir, what is it like to be a dog?"
