Half a day later.
A certain house on top of the Tie Wei Mountain.
Fei Yue took off her mask and asked: "Are you done with your business?"
"Hm, the seven Lords of the Silent Kingdom have established contact with the Hall of Samsara, Huang Quan's automated machines have all been modified. From now on, they will be sent directly to the battlefield to earn Merit" Gu Qing Shan told him.
"What do you plan to do next?" Fei Yue asked.
"I'm going to the battlefield to take a look, I want to know what exactly is going on with the monsters in this void" Gu Qing Shan answered.
Recalling the stardust monster he ran into before, as well as the dragon that imitated him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.
"Right, where are Buttercup and the others?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"They're all on the battlefield, but we're not in the same division, rather we're separated. This way, it'll be easier to gather intel on the entire Huang Quan world" Fei Yue answered.
"Lord God — — what exactly is going on?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Fei Yue pondered for a bit, then spoke: "I've looked through Huang Quan's ancient records, I know that Huang Quan is the most unique world within the Samsara. The Lord God of Huang Quan's position isn't any less than the Heaven Realm's Emperor Of Heaven, but since he's ruling over the Nine Hells, it's not as honorable and famous as the Heaven Realm, so he can't easily reveal his name or let the other worlds know about him"
"There's one more thing to note — — the Emperor Of Heaven has changed a few times, but the Lord God of Huang Quan has never changed"
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
He drew the Chao Yin sword from the void of space and glanced at it.
A line of glowing text appeared:
"In deep sleep."
[This sword is about to complete its evolution, about half a day's time]
Half a day will quickly pass, so there's no need to hurry.
Then now — — -
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Have you been paying attention to the other swords of mine?"
"Of course, my Fate ability is very convenient for finding secrets, so I've been looking for them when I'm bored" Fei Yue answered.
She raised her hand, and the strands of black threads wrapped around her jade-like arm gathered together, forming a screen of light.
"The Deities of Huang Quan automatically obtained their original Divine Artifacts. Only someone like you, who possesses two Paths of Reincarnation, would have their Divine Artifacts return and remain sealed"
Light and shadow unfolded.
Inside a sacred and solemn palace, the Six Paths Great Mountain sword was hovering on top of a platform, surrounded by layers of light.
It was not just this sword.
Within the same hall, there were nine high platforms. Every single platform was engraved with countless sealing inscriptions, and there was a God Artifact sealed within each of them.
"The divine weapons of the other Daos have also been sealed in the depths of the Samsara Temple," Fei Yue said.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and exhaled heavily.
Shannu.
She was still waiting for him.
"How can I retrieve the sword?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Fei Yue hesitantly answered: "There's actually a problem here that we still haven't figured out …"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What problem?"
Fei Yue sent her voice and continued: "Ever since I came to Huang Quan, I've been purposely trying to get closer to the Divine Lord, finally establishing a good relationship with the Divine Lord …"
"We've always thought that the Divine Artifacts of the other worlds would be sealed away during the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, but one day, the Divine Lord muttered something to herself. I was the only one present at the time"
"What did she say?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Fei Yue took a deep breath and sent her voice: "— — strange, how did that happen?"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
For a Divine Lord to say such a thing, there must be some sort of hidden reason.
Could it be that even she didn't know that the Divine Artifacts of the other Daos would be sealed away?
… That can't be right.
There must be a problem here.
If the Samsara Divine Artifacts also have to contend for supremacy and obtain one of the only six Divine Artifacts of Samsara, then — — -
Why did they have to be sealed away here?
Gu Qing Shan glanced at Fei Yue and sent her voice: "The weapons of the Huang Quan Divinities have never been sealed away?"
"Yes" Fei Yue replied.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit more.
Huang Quan was separated from the other 5 worlds of Samsara.
While the Divine Artifacts of the other worlds belonged to Huang Quan.
Could it be …
Gu Qing Shan's gaze became sharp as she spoke: "I'm now the Huang Quan True Deity, I've made great contributions, if I wanted to take a weapon, I'm sure no one would stop me"
Fei Yue replied: "But you've already obtained a weapon"
Gu Qing Shan held the Chao Yin sword in her hand: "But this sword of mine isn't a Samsara Divine Artifact"
Fei Yue shook her head: "You already have a sword, although it doesn't fit your God of Death's Pillar Deity position, this sword was forged by the Divine Lord himself with the help of the Huang Quan Nine Serenities technique, so if you want to take a second Divine Artifact, no matter if it's a weapon, armor, or treasure artifact, you must follow the rules of Huang Quan"
"What rules?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"First, you must obtain the Samsara Temple Master's permission, then — — -"
"No matter which artifact it is, you must fulfill the requirements of the artifact's spirit before it was sealed in order for it to be granted" Fei Yue said.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
"That sword of mine … what requirements did it make before it was sealed?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Fei Yue raised her hand, letting the thread in her hand float into the air.
"I could have investigated it, but there are too many treasures sealed by the Path of Reincarnation, and as the Pillar Deity of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, it would be inappropriate for me to personally investigate the Reincarnation Temple just for a single sword, as that would draw the attention of others with ulterior motives — — so I'm not too sure what kind of request your sword has, you will need to personally take a look"
"Very well, I'll go now" Gu Qing Shan said.
He disappeared in a flash.
Only Fei Yue was left in the room.
She picked up the cold tea on the table and slowly took a sip.
"So impatient, just for a single weapon …"
Fei Yue muttered in a low voice.
…
"What? You came to choose a sword again? "the Samsara Temple Master was surprised.
"I'm a dual swordsman, so I need another sword" Gu Qing Shan answered.
Dual swordsman …
The Death God really is a swordsman.
The Samsara Temple Master digested this information and fell into thought.
Now that the Death God is a Pillar Deity of Hell, he just released countless dead people to join the battle.
If not for that, as the Samsara Temple Master, I would still be fighting on the frontlines, unable to rest for even a second, and in great danger.
Fine, I'll give him some face.
The Samsara Temple Master smiled and said, "That's true. Although you've obtained a sword, it's not a Divine Weapon of the Six Realms, nor does it have the divine power of the Netherworld. You can indeed ask for a real Divine Weapon of the Netherworld."
"— — Which sword do you want?"
"The Six Paths Great Mountain sword" Gu Qing Shan answered.
The Samsara Temple Master was moved: "That sword … it was manifested from the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, even within Huang Quan, it's one of the strongest weapons"
"Can I?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Have you thought it through? If it's this sword, I'm sure everyone would be willing to give up their Divinity and Divine Weapons just to obtain this sword "the Samsara Temple Master answered.
"You mean, I'll have a lot of competitors?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes, only by defeating countless Deities of Huang Quan and becoming the strongest of Huang Quan, when no one would dare to question you again, can you become its master — — - otherwise, all the Deities of Huang Quan will be dissatisfied" the Samsara Temple Master answered.
This was exactly what Shannu said at the time.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: "Very well"
"What do you mean by 'very well'?" the Samsara Temple Master asked.
"That's simple, I'll prove myself" Gu Qing Shan answered.
The Samsara Temple Master nodded, then ordered someone behind him: "Someone, bring the Death God to take a look"
She lowered her voice: "Sir Death God, please take a look at the sword's spirit's request first, at least make sure you know — — this is against the rules, but since you've helped us so much, let's take a look first"
"Thank you"
Gu Qing Shan clasped her fist, then left with an official of the Samsara Temple.
The official led him past numerous palaces, countless pavilions, as well as a long underground passage, unlocking numerous seals that gave off a dangerous presence before finally arriving at a secret hall.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the secret hall.
Only to see that this secret hall seemed to contain thousands of shadows.
A line of crimson text appeared from the void of space:
[Thousand Layers Shadow Realms]
[There are 1000 temporary small-scale realms here, each with countless treasure vaults and palaces. You need to enter them in a specific order, one wrong step and you'll be transported to the Huang Quan Samsara Killing Formation]
Gu Qing Shan glanced through it without saying anything.
The official turned around and respectfully asked: "Sir Death God, do you have any other swords that you're interested in? If not, I'll introduce all the swords of Huang Quan to you "
Gu Qing Shan glanced at him.
Only to see that he also had a sword on his waist.
So this brat didn't want me to take that sword either.
He casually replied: "No need, take me directly to the Six Paths Great Mountain sword"
The official sighed: "Alright"
He brought Gu Qing Shan towards the secret hall, telling her: "Follow me, don't stray from the path for even a second, otherwise it'll be easy for something to happen"
"Yes, thank you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The two of them walked in front of the Thousand Layers Palace for about 10 minutes before finally stopping.
The official wiped the sweat off his forehead and said: "This place is already very deep, you could even say that it's the deepest palace"
He clasped his hands together and chanted an incantation.
Rumble rumble rumble — —
The void of space split open.
A palace appeared in front of the two of them.
There were nine high platforms in the hall, and every platform was engraved with countless sealing runes. Each of them had a God Artifact sealed within them.
Gu Qing Shan immediately saw the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
His figure flashed and he flew to the front of the high platform, his eyes fixed on the long sword.
Defeat all the competitors and complete Shannu's request — — -
Awaken her again!
"What do I need to do to see the sword's spirit's request?" he asked.
The official stood at the entrance of the palace, shouting from afar:
"Sir Death God, you only need to place your hand on the platform to see the spirit's request"
"I understand, thank you"
Gu Qing Shan's expression turned serious.
— — since Shannu was able to let the Chao Yin sword escape before she sealed it, she must've already made up her mind.
She wouldn't refuse me coming to find her.
Which means, the condition she set up must be to stop anyone else from obtaining the sword.
She must've set up a condition that no one else can fulfill.
— — except for me.
Then, what kind of condition did she set up?
Gu Qing Shan placed his hand on the platform.
In a split second, a thought fell into his sea of consciousness and turned into a woman's voice.
"Anyone who wants to become my sword master must do the following things"
"Firstly, as a human, you must be a virgin"
"Secondly, as a cat, you must be able to eat countless salted fish without bursting"
"Thirdly, as a dragon, you must be able to perform comedy"
Gu Qing Shan froze.
Comedy?
Why comedy?
He thought for a bit, then quickly realized.
When I was a dragon, I already did a trick to trick people.
This girl is so adorably silly, that's called rapping …
Gu Qing Shan shook his head speechlessly.
When I was rapping, she probably laughed in the dark, thought it was funny, and thought it was comedy.
That's great.
I need to beat everyone into submission.
Then learn comedy …
