The ship.
In the banquet hall, the Lord of Total Distortion was enjoying his meal.
The evil creatures all stood in the hall, not daring to make a sound.
Gu Qing Shan silently stood among the evil creatures, silently staring at the red UI in front of her.
[The second Quest has been completed]
[Quest description: You've obtained enough Soul Points, Soul Points upgrade mode will be activated]
[Special note: You've chosen the correct path, you will surely become the strongest entity through this path, the Order shares your glory]
When all the text disappeared, a Card appeared at the center of the UI.
On the Card, Gu Qing Shan wielded a sword with both hands, hovering in the air.
— — Lapis grade True Self Card: Sword cultivator Gu Qing Shan.
Below this True Self Card, there was a long grey bar that seemed to be the number of Soul Points.
A number was displayed in the middle of the bar. A few lines of blood-red text appeared next to the bar for explanation:
[Accumulating 200,000 Soul Points will allow you to advance to the next level]
[Attention: Because your Profession is a cultivator, you must face a Heaven's Tribulation during your advancement, the [Demon King Order] cannot exempt you]
[Attention: Your next realm is Void Wanderer realm, as soon as you advance, you will face the Wind and Fire Tribulation]
Wind and Fire?
After reading through all the notifications, Gu Qing Shan put her hand on her Inventory Bag and checked her cultivation jade tag.
Xie Gu Hong had compiled all of his scriptures into a large-sized jade tag and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.
This jade tag contained all of the scriptures that could be cultivated to Three Thousand Worlds realm perfection, as well as all of Xie Gu Hong's sword techniques, including the [Enemy-killing Sword Technique] that he obtained from the Bygone Era ruin.
Gu Qing Shan's inner sight entered the jade tag, skipped over all of the sword techniques, and quickly found the detailed explanation for advancing to Void Wanderer realm.
— — indeed, during this advancement process, the Lightning of Tribulation had already disappeared.
What replaced it was the Fire Tribulation.
Among the four Saint Pillars of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, Earth represented life, Water represented longevity, Fire represented destruction, and Wind represented passing away.
The Fire Tribulation was a Tribulation of destruction that all living beings had to face.
However, many living beings didn't even have to wait for the Fire Tribulation before they entered the 'Wind' state: passing away.
This time, Gu Qing Shan had to face the Wind and Fire Tribulation.
The next time she broke through to Void Revolution realm, she would have to face the Fire Tribulation of Water and Fire.
When she broke through to Three Thousand Worlds realm, she would have to face the Tribulations of Earth.
This is what everyone in the cultivation world calls' sailing against the current '— — – the four Tribulations of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth, a cultivator has to go through all of them in reverse before they can finally reach Paragon realm.
Even within the 900 million World Layers, a Paragon realm cultivator was already a top-tier existence.
Cultivators would be at Paragon realm Cultivators of Saint Realm. Even.
He temporarily stopped thinking and looked at the center of the [Kindling] UI, asking: "This progress bar is the amount of Soul Points I need to advance, but how do I make the [Order] evolve?"
"You want to" to to "" to ".
"I do, I heard that the higher the rank of the [Order], the more powerful it would be" Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Fire] stayed silent for a bit before answering: [Since you desire more power so much, I will change my strategy and make the following decision:]
[Once you have completed your first rank advancement, [Fire] will issue an Evolution Quest]
Gu Qing Shan nodded and didn't ask anything else.
I need 200,000 Soul Points to break through to Void Wanderer realm — — - I should start planning for this now.
At this point, the Lord of Total Distortion suddenly put down his utensils.
At the same time, the howling wind outside the banquet hall disappeared.
The ship came to a slow stop.
What happened?
Gu Qing Shan released her inner sight to scan through the entire ship, then several hundred miles around her.
— — -the inner sight of a Void Beholder realm cultivator could already scan a relatively large area.
Several dozen nautical miles in front of the ship, a gigantic iceberg was rising from the water.
This iceberg was almost the same size as the ship.
Underneath the iceberg, a gigantic head popped out of the water, glaring at the Lord of Total Distortion's ship.
An ancient demonic sea creature!
Who would've thought a demonic sea creature would stop the Lord of Total Distortion's ship right at the start of the expedition.
『Another one that wants to eat evil creatures, 20 million years old? No, someone tell me, how many tens of thousands of years has it lived for?』 the Lord of Total Distortion asked in displeasure.
At this point, one of the evil creatures spoke up: 『Master, I've seen it clearly』
The evil creatures all turned to the evil creature who spoke.
This was a humanoid evil creature without eyes — — apparently, he used some sort of unique ability to check the demonic sea creature's age.
However, because he wasn't strong enough, his humanoid form was a bit lacking as his lower body still had four hooves.
The evil creature reported: 『This demonic sea creature has lived for 37,679,861 years』
Hearing that, the Lord of Total Distortion's expression loosened up a bit.
『A guy that lived for over 30 million years, not only did he not go to sleep in the Ocean Abyss, he even dared to stop my ship, he's courting death』
He glanced at the evil creatures.
The devils immediately understood.
They bowed to the Lord of Total Distortion and left the banquet hall.
As soon as they left the banquet hall, the evil creatures leapt to the sky and flew towards the iceberg in front of the ship.
The Lord of Total Distortion continued to enjoy his breakfast.
A few moments later.
Chaotic fluctuations of power could be felt from the ocean.
The battle had begun.
The evil creatures in the banquet hall were all ready to act.
They also wanted to participate in the battle.
To be blunt, they were starving, yet they could only stand here and watch their master enjoy hundreds of rare dishes by himself, this was a very torturous thing to do.
Some evil creatures appeared anxious, others silently sensed the fluctuations in the air and observed the situation of the battle.
A few evil creatures were staring at the void of space, their expressions constantly changing.
It was as if they could see through all obstacles and directly observe the situation of the battle several thousand meters away.
Gu Qing Shan only needed a bit of observation to understand one thing.
— — evil creatures didn't have inner sight.
They weren't like cultivators who purposefully trained their inner sight from the very beginning of their cultivation.
Most of them relied on their instincts and inheritances to evolve, only a few lucky ones would be able to obtain unique abilities during this process.
As this battle was taking place over half a city and several dozen nautical miles away, the majority of evil creatures couldn't even see how the battle was progressing at all.
Gu Qing Shan didn't care about these evil creatures.
He released his inner sight again and scanned the vast ship towards the surface of the ocean.
Through his inner sight, he could clearly see everything that was happening above and below the surface of the ocean.
— — -sure enough, since these evil creatures were able to become the subordinates of the Lord of Total Distortion and stand in the banquet hall, none of them were weak.
They were all pure offensive evil creatures, unleashing all sorts of dazzling attacks as soon as they appeared.
Very quickly, quite a bit of the iceberg was destroyed.
The demonic sea creature that had lived for over 30 million years was also beaten to a pulp by the evil creatures, dying a large part of the ocean red.
As he watched, Gu Qing Shan silently felt surprised.
That's strange …
An old monster that had lived for so long wouldn't come here to die.
He gathered his inner sight again and scanned through the evil creatures, heading deeper into the ocean.
He began to carefully observe this giant demonic sea creature that was carrying the iceberg.
But under the ocean, Gu Qing Shan was shocked to find that the demonic sea creature's body was so long that she couldn't see the end of it.
Compared to it, that giant iceberg was nothing more than a speck of snow on top of its head.
— — according to its body, it looked like a gigantic sea serpent.
A sea snake that had lived for over 30 million years.
What a terrifying body.
No wonder the Lord of Total Distortion wanted to check its lifespan first and only relaxed after knowing the result.
The Lord of Total Distortion decided the number and strength of the evil creatures he sent to battle based on this demonic sea creature's lifespan.
Normally, the Lord of Total Distortion wouldn't make a mistake.
And from the state of the battle, the result was exactly as the Lord of Total Distortion expected.
However …
Gu Qing Shan looked at the demonic sea creature.
Its eyes were filled with forbearance and viciousness.
Such an ancient creature shouldn't be too stupid.
Taking a step back, if it really was stupid, there could only be one reason why it was able to live for over 30 million years.
— — -it was too strong.
At this point, the Lord of Total Distortion also stopped eating and mused: 『Still not running even after being beaten to this state? That can't be suicidal … it must be planning something, or it must be very powerful — — how interesting, a monster that has only lived for 30 million years dares to plot against my ship』
His expression became a bit more serious.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded. Sure enough, the Lord of Total Distortion also noticed the demonic sea creature's abnormality.
『Dark Devil, Judge, Silent Ruler, ah, and the Xie Qi Ruler, you are all great evil creatures with unique abilities, I need you to act』 the Lord of Total Distortion ordered.
Following his order, a man covered in grey flames, a man carrying a long guillotine on his back, and a woman without a mouth on her face stepped forward.
The two men knelt on the ground: 『Yes, master』
The woman turned to the Lord of Total Distortion and lightly curtsied.
The three of them looked a bit eerie, but their human forms were all perfect — — - except for the woman without a mouth.
But that seemed to be a secret of hers.
As the Xie Qi Fiend King, Gu Qing Shan also stepped forward and lightly curtsied to the Lord of Total Distortion.
— — -four powerful evil creatures with unique abilities had acted at the same time.
This proved how much importance the Lord of Total Distortion placed on this matter.
『The three of you, go and provide support, no matter what tricks that demonic sea creature has up its sleeves, kill it without any hesitation』 the Lord of Total Distortion ordered.
『Understood』
Gu Qing Shan and the other three evil creatures left the banquet hall.
At this point, the other evil creatures no longer showed any eagerness to fight.
