Gu Qing Shan didn't want to talk about it any longer.
Every minute I waste is the Earth sword getting closer to death.
The Lord of Total Distortion is willing to make a deal with me.
I've also displayed my powerful Mystic-type abilities.
Now it's time to reap the rewards.
"Venerable Lord of Total Distortion, do you think we can make a deal now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Lord of Total Distortion replied: 『Don't rush the deal, I want to show you something first』
He waved his hand.
The entire observation deck began to sink.
The brick walls flew past the watchtower at high speed.
Countless rooms, evil creatures who were discussing business, as well as various treasures of various shapes and sizes, all flew away like flowing water.
The light became dimmer and dimmer.
In the end, the observation deck stopped above an ocean that was shimmering with deep darkness.
『Look below』 the Lord of Total Distortion said.
Gu Qing Shan didn't understand what the other party was thinking, so she tried asking: "This seems to be an underground ocean that connects the bottom of the continent and the ocean"
『That is not the case』 the Lord of Total Distortion replied.
He waved his hand again.
A long winding stone staircase appeared at the edge of the observation deck.
The Lord of Total Distortion took out a burning torch from the void of space and walked down the stairs.
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to follow.
The two of them walked down the ancient, tattered stone stairs until they reached the junction between the stairs and the ocean.
The Lord of Total Distortion stopped.
Gu Qing Shan also stopped and stood next to him.
『This is the lowest level of the cathedral, it is completely sealed off from the outside world. I brought you here to show you the thing below』 the Lord of Total Distortion said.
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan released her inner sight to scan the water.
It was now that she noticed that as soon as her inner sight reached the surface of the water, she couldn't spread it out at all.
The only thing she could see was a black shadow at the bottom of the ocean.
What is that?
This is a secret location inside the cathedral, why did the Lord of Total Distortion want me to see this?
With that question in mind, Gu Qing Shan carefully observed the black shadow at the bottom of the ocean.
Unfortunately, there seemed to be another layer of shielding around the shadow, so she couldn't see what it was at all.
Gu Qing Shan could only sense that it was a living creature.
"I can't see clearly." Gu Qing Shan said honestly.
The Lord of Total Distortion tossed the torch down and muttered: 『Remove the taboo』
The light from the fire illuminated the seawater, revealing the object hidden within.
Gu Qing Shan looked over.
It was a finger.
It was a three-story tall, incomparably thick black finger.
There were sharp nails on the fingers, which looked like part of the claws of some huge creature.
The giant finger was bound tightly by hundreds of tiny black chains and fixed to the bottom of the sea.
The terrifying thing was that the finger was constantly struggling, trying to break free from the shackles of the black chains.
Gu Qing Shan saw that there were already three to five black chains that were broken and scattered on the seabed.
『I've done a thorough and thorough research on this cathedral and found out that the entire purpose of this cathedral was to trap this finger』 the Lord of Total Distortion explained.
After seeing Gu Qing Shan's [Even a sea of bitterness can pass] Mystic-type ability, he became much more talkative, and his attitude also changed quite a bit.
"I'm afraid this cathedral won't be able to trap this finger" Gu Qing Shan said.
Although, compared to the total number of chains, breaking three to five chains was nothing.
But this meant one thing — — -
If it had the ability to break three to five chains, as time passed, this giant black finger would eventually break all of the chains and escape from the bottom of the cathedral.
『It doesn't matter, as long as there are more powerful lifeforms being absorbed into the cathedral and become a part of it, the number of black chains will only increase, and this giant finger will continue to be trapped』 the Lord of Total Distortion replied.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
No wonder this cathedral was always eating the evil creatures.
So it was absorbing the power of the evil creatures.
But it didn't kill the evil creatures, instead it used the evil creatures as a source of power — — or more accurately, as crops that could be harvested endlessly.
Thanks to the power of countless evil creatures, the cathedral managed to maintain the seal on this black finger.
"What kind of thing is this finger?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
『I'm not sure, I've tried attacking it with everything I had, but I couldn't even leave a scratch on its surface』 the Lord of Total Distortion replied.
As he stared at the finger, his grey-green eyes displayed a look of madness and desire.
『Now, let us get down to business』
He abruptly turned around and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
『Xie Qi Fiend King, I can have the Black Bone Witch King use [Death Stasis] on your weapon to help you delay the weapon's collapse』
Gu Qing Shan was glad and replied: "Then I'll trouble you, after the technique is complete, I will offer my two evil realms to you"
『No need』 the Lord of Total Distortion replied.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
The Lord of Total Distortion continued: 『Two evil realm fragments are indeed very valuable, but what excites me more is your ability』
"What do you mean?"
『Tomorrow, my expedition team will depart to explore the depths of the Chaos Demonic Sea — — what you need to know is that as long as you are willing to join my team, our deal will be complete without the need for you to give up your Threads of Law』
"You don't want to use your Threads of Law as part of the deal?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
After seeing that giant finger, he was more willing to give up two Threads of Law than to explore the depths of the Chaos Demonic Sea.
Don't be ridiculous, this cathedral is already so eerie, who knows what else is hidden beneath the depths of the Chaos Demonic Sea.
But the Lord of Total Distortion's answer disappointed Gu Qing Shan.
『Xie Qi Fiend King, your Threads of Law are indeed very valuable, but I have something more important to do right now, which is to explore the Demonic Sea』
The Lord of Total Distortion continued: 『Your ability is very useful in the ocean, I need your ability — — this way, my team will be safer, and it will be easier for us to reach our goal』
Gu Qing Shan's mind moved quickly.
Seems like I can't refuse, otherwise the Lord of Total Distortion wouldn't help me.
If I want to save the Earth sword, I have to agree.
If that's the case — — -
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I can join your team to complete this exploration, as long as you can do what I want"
『Very fair, then it's settled?』 the Lord of Total Distortion asked.
『Furthermore, as I've already shown you, I need to kill』 Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Lord of Total Distortion smiled: 『There are too many demonic sea creatures in the ocean, I'll allow you to help me eliminate a few』
"That's fine" Gu Qing Shan casually replied.
— — -indeed, this is a very fair deal. I'll be risking my life, but the Earth sword will be saved.
The only thing I can do right now is to borrow the other party's great force to quickly gather Soul Points.
The Lord of Total Distortion asked: 『If that's the case, then we have a deal?
』 "Your excellency, please save my weapon first, because it can't hold on much longer. After that, I will fulfill my end of the bargain" Gu Qing Shan replied.
『Very well, I'll deal with your problem now』
The Lord of Total Distortion then spoke to the void of space: 『Tell the Black Bone Witch King to come see me』
『Understood』 a voice replied.
Not too long later, the Black Bone Witch King arrived.
『Master, what are your orders?』 the Black Bone Witch King asked.
The Lord of Total Distortion looked at Gu Qing Shan and said: 『Speak』
Gu Qing Shan then told him what she wanted.
The Black Bone Witch King listened carefully and nodded: 『Take out your weapon』
Gu Qing Shan carefully took out the rectangular box that contained the Earth sword and held it with both hands.
The Black Bone Witch King knelt down and looked at the Lord of Total Distortion: 『Master, I'll be going』
『Go in peace』
The Lord of Total Distortion said.
The Black Bone Witch King nodded and put his hand on the rectangular box.
He then reached out with his other hand and took out an ancient clock from the void of space.
The Black Bone Witch King roared and punched the clock to pieces.
As soon as the clock broke, his body slowly turned into nothingness and disappeared.
The only people left on the observation tower were the Lord of Total Distortion and Gu Qing Shan.
"What's going on?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
The Lord of Total Distortion casually replied: 『His Mystic-type skill can only be used three times in his life, which can make death extremely slow. The third time just now was used, so he died』
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the rectangular box in her hand and carefully sensed it.
She could sense a power similar to Xie Dao Ling's temporal technique from inside the rectangular box.
That's great, the Earth sword won't have to die.
Since the Lord of Total Distortion sacrificed his subordinate's life to help me save the Earth sword, I won't refuse the follow-up transaction.
