At the bottom of the ocean.
The Chao Yin sword silently hovered behind Gu Qing Shan, creating a cool and dry space.
The flames around Gu Qing Shan's body were becoming more and more intense.
At a certain point, the temperature of the flames had already begun to distort the void of space.
At the border between the void of space and the ocean, white steam began to appear.
Even Gu Qing Shan's hair began to curl.
The Chao Yin sword was anxiously vibrating.
It could tell that the terrifying flames were slowly but surely trying to corrode Gu Qing Shan's body.
Under its control, a few streams of water flowed from the ocean into this space, pouring down on Gu Qing Shan's body.
But before the streams of water could even get close, they were evaporated by the intense heat.
The Chao Yin sword cried out in pain, anxiously circling around.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.
Hoh — —
In the blink of an eye, the flames that enveloped him went out.
"I'm sorry for making you worry"
Gu Qing Shan said apologetically.
When his soul vessel returned just now, he heard the Chao Yin sword's cries of pain.
The Chao Yin sword was overjoyed and began circling around him.
"Don't worry, I've successfully passed my Tribulation" Gu Qing Shan said.
He looked at the [Kindling] UI.
Lines of blood-red text appeared one after another:
[Wind and Fire Dual Tribulation has ended]
[You've become a Void Wanderer realm cultivator]
[Advancement Quest has been completed]
[Soul Points required for next advancement: 700000]
[Current Soul Points: 310000]
[The System will undergo a short period of adjustment, temporarily shutting down all functions to enter evolutionary mode]
All the blood-red text disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly called out: "Wait a minute!"
A large question mark appeared on the [Kindling] UI.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Why aren't there any Thaumaturgy Quests for advancement?"
Lines of blood-red text appeared on the [Kindling] UI:
[The Order does not have any Thaumaturgy Quests for human cultivators]
[The System will now enter the adjustment period, if there's anything, please wait for the System's adjustment to finish before communicating]
The entire [Kindling] UI disappeared from Gu Qing Shan's sight.
It began to prepare for evolution.
Gu Qing Shan pondered and silently compared the War God UI to the [Kindling Order].
From a Thaumaturgy perspective, the War God UI's abilities were much more powerful.
Not only that, the [Battle God Title], [Battle God Quests], [Battle God Skills], and other functions could help a cultivator fight better.
Once the [Fire Seed] evolved into [Origin], he would be able to use his soul power to exchange for a powerful Demon God to help him in battle.
To put it bluntly, this was still a foreign object.
However, [Kindling]'s desire for Soul Points far surpassed the War God UI's.
As long as soul power appeared, it would think of a way to obtain it.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head and was about to leave when a card appeared in front of her.
Emerald card, Sword Cultivator Gu Qing Shan.
This was his own Body Card.
Three more cards appeared in front of him.
[Bleed], [True Crimson Demon Spear], [Black Mist Armor].
A sense of realization appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
— — -following my advancement, regardless of whether an [Order] exists or not, I can now draw a new card.
This drawing is completely random, no one would know which card they would be able to draw from the Emerald cards in the Condemnation deck.
Gu Qing Shan didn't think too much about it and casually drew a card from the void of space.
Suddenly, a card appeared in his hand.
The front of the card depicted a full set of smithing tools, with an empty space below where the card's name and function were written.
[Consumable: Armor Blacksmith's full set of tools]
[When you use this card, you will be able to strengthen a certain function of a piece of armor]
Gu Qing Shan didn't hesitate and used the method that Little Dusk told her before to put this card on the [Black Mist Armor] card.
"Activate!" Gu Qing Shan ordered.
The [Armor Blacksmith's full set of tools] card gave off a bright glow.
It slowly sank into the [Black Mist Armor] card and disappeared without a trace.
Very quickly, the description of a certain function changed at the empty space below the [Black Mist Armor] card.
[Black Mist's Embrace: When you stand still, the black mist will conceal your whereabouts, only enemies 3 realms higher than you will be able to notice you]
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Before, it was 2 realms higher, now it's 3 realms higher.
I'm currently at Void Wanderer realm, after Void Wanderer realm are Void Revolution realm, Three Thousand Worlds realm, and Paragon realm — — in other words, when I want to hide, only enemies at Paragon realm or higher will be able to notice me.
This is already quite good.
After I advance to Void Revolution realm and use the Realm Breaker Pill to reach Three Thousand Worlds realm, only {Mahesvara King} realm cultivators will be able to notice me.
Such a powerful concealment ability, as expected of the Demon King's armor!
He held the [Black Mist Armor] card in his hand and lightly shook it.
In an instant, the entire set of armor that gave off black mist was donned.
Everything has been taken care of.
I need to hurry back to the ship.
"Chao Yin, let's go"
Oong — — -
…
The location of the Tribulation was extremely far away from the ship, and it was millions of meters below the surface of the ocean.
Gu Qing Shan was quickly flying through the air.
While doing his best, he casually swung his sword at the void of space.
The entire void of space was cut open by his sword, revealing the chaotic space vortex.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
The so-called '90 Void Wanderer' — — I can now cut open 90 layers of worlds without the help of any external objects and enter them at will.
The only regretful thing is that I'm currently inside the phantom images of the Age of Old.
When the Divine race imitated the Bygone Era humans to create worlds, to avoid being discovered by the Desolate race, they purposefully placed those worlds as far away from the Primordial Heaven Realm and Primordial Wraith Realm as possible.
Because of that, when Gu Qing Shan opened the void of space, all he saw was a chaotic space vortex, no worlds appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes.
Time quickly passed.
Gu Qing Shan finally reached the area near the giant ship.
He first caught some seafood in the ocean, then slowly moved towards the giant ship before jumping back on board.
The evil creatures had already recognized him, so they didn't stop him.
The evil creature that greeted him before also greeted him.
After all, it only took Gu Qing Shan a bit more than an hour to go back and forth.
Some of the evil creatures had amazing appetites, so they went into the ocean even earlier than Gu Qing Shan and still haven't returned.
Gu Qing Shan silently felt fortunate.
It was fortunate that Zhi Luo had already prepared to help him face his Tribulation in the Mahesvara realm.
Zhi Luo …
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
Suddenly, a voice resounded in his mind.
『What's the matter? You don't seem to be in a good mood』
Gu Qing Shan realized.
This was the Silent Ruler's telepathy.
Ever since they fought side by side, their relationship had turned from strangers to acquaintances who could occasionally exchange a few words.
As he was about to look up, the Silent Ruler's voice resounded again: 『Don't look for me, otherwise, you'll attract attention』
"What's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan noticed his nervousness and asked.
「 The Lord of Total Distortion had put down a small boat and was leaving this place with some of his subordinates 」
『What!? Where?』
『The bow of the ship』
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to scan the area in front of him.
The bow of the ship was heavily guarded, two evil creatures had unleashed a series of techniques to completely conceal this place.
The Lord of Total Distortion's guards were stationed here, no one could approach or spy on them.
Quite obviously, something was happening here.
However, for the last few days, the entire ship had entered a state of high alert. Large-scale operations were frequently taking place, all of which were under the direct command of the Lord of Total Distortion, no other evil creatures were allowed to spy on them.
Because of that, the evil creatures had also gotten used to such strict security measures, no evil creature dared to offend the Lord of Total Distortion and try to check the situation at the bow of the ship.
It was likely that the Silent Lord had used some special method to find out about this matter.
『What can you see? What do you think?』 Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Silent Ruler didn't reply.
After a while, she sent her telepathy: 『The Lord of Total Distortion is boarding the ship, it seems they're about to leave』
"Can we catch up to them?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
『How is that possible』 the Silent Ruler smiled bitterly, 『I'm already doing everything I can to observe from afar, as long as I get closer, the Lord of Total Distortion would definitely notice』
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
Indeed, the Lord of Total Distortion was the strongest Evil King, so he had to be extremely cautious and cautious when he moved.
What exactly is he planning to do now that he's abandoning the entire city of evil creatures?
Will he come back?
No one knew, and no one dared to try and find out.
The Lord of Total Distortion must have made preparations beforehand, any evil creature that tried to approach would be noticed.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a few moments.
With the Lord of Total Distortion's strength, he wouldn't need to go through all the trouble of riding a ship if he wanted to do something.
Unless he was planning to embark on a long voyage, or had already decided to leave this ship.
"Did you see his two daughters?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
『I did, they were the first to board the ship, that's why I felt that this wasn't normal and wanted to discuss it with you』 the Silent Ruler replied.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
Even his two daughters had boarded the ship, so the Lord of Total Distortion most likely wouldn't return to this ship.
Why is that?
Gu Qing Shan pondered, then tapped her Inventory Bag.
The jade gourd pendant jumped out from her Inventory Bag.
Xiu — –
It seemed to be moving slowly, its voice also sounded a bit lazy.
"Don't sleep, I've prepared some Soul Points for you" Gu Qing Shan told it.
The jade gourd pendant immediately became spirited.
Xiu xiu?
『It's true, but there's something I need to trouble you with』
Xiu, xiu xiu xiu!
『Go to the bow of the ship, follow that small ship to see what happens, then come back and report to me』
Xiu!
The jade gourd pendant responded.
With a flash of white light, it disappeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
It flew towards the bow of the ship, but none of the evil creatures noticed it.
Only Gu Qing Shan could see it clearly.
Indeed, since the jade pendant Adorable had the Thaumaturgy [Spotless Jade], it didn't need to worry about being discovered by the Lord of Total Distortion, so it was a good time to investigate.
『Silent Ruler, thank you for your information』
Gu Qing Shan said.
Since he was facing his Tribulation just now, he didn't know what happened on the ship.
Fortunately, the Silent Liege had informed him of this matter. Otherwise, he might have missed out on this matter due to a freak combination of circumstances.
『No need to thank me, I can feel a chill from what happened just now, it's enveloping me』 the Silent Ruler replied.
『Then why don't you leave and return to your evil realm?』 Gu Qing Shan asked.
『I have a contract with the Lord of Total Distortion, so I must complete this mission』 the Silent Ruler replied.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
He has always abided by the principle of fair trade.
The other party sacrificed a life to save the Earth sword.
Then as a trade, I'll help him cross the sea.
This is a very fair trade, and I'm willing to do my best to repay him.
But that's all.
At this moment, Gu Qing Shan also sensed some sort of indescribable malice.
Just like the omen of death that he felt before he went out to sea, this entire situation was filled with eeriness.
If the Lord of Total Distortion really did have other plans, then this wasn't what he said from the start — — -
