Gu Qing Shan didn’t intend to say anything else .
With every minute, the Earth sword’s death came closer .
The Lord of Total Distortion had already agreed to the transaction .
And he has already displayed his Mystic-type ability .
It was time to get what he came for .
“Venerable Lord of Total Distortion, do you think we can complete our transaction now?” Gu Qing Shan asked .
The Lord of Total Distortion replied: 『 There is no need to hurry, I want to show you something first 』
Then the entire observatory began to sink .
The brick walls around the observatory were quickly moving up .
Various rooms full of fiends and devils who were doing business with one another as well as countless strange and precious treasures, quickly flashed by as the room went deeper .
The light gradually dimmed .
Until finally, the observatory stopped on top of a glowing sea of darkness .
『 Look below 』the Lord of Total Distortion told him .
Gu Qing Shan didn’t understand what the other party was trying to do so he tried asking: “This seems to be the seabed where the mainland and the ocean meet”
『 That isn’t the case 』the Lord of Total Distortion replied .
A long spiral staircase made of up stone appeared at the edge of the room .
The Lord of Total Distortion took out a torch from the void of space and began to walk down the stairs .
Gu Qing Shan could only follow .
The two of them went down the ancient and tattered stone steps and reached the border between the steps and the sea water .
The Lord of Total Distortion stopped .
Gu Qing Shan also stopped next to him .
『 This is the lowest floor of the cathedral, a completely sealed space that isn’t connected to anywhere outside . I brought you here to take a look at the thing underneath it 』the Lord of Total Distortion told Gu Qing Shan .
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and scanned the water below .
It was now that he noticed his inner sight was being blocked out by the water, unable to see anything below even a little bit .
He could only see with his eyes a dark shadow far underneath the water surface .
This is a secret area within the cathedral, why did the Lord of Total Distortion have to show this to me?
With a lot of doubt, Gu Qing Shan tried carefully observing the dark shadow below the water .
Unfortunately, there was a layer of something that covered the shadow, obscuring what it really was .
Gu Qing Shan could only tell that it was a living thing with his intuition .
“I cannot see it cleary” Gu Qing Shan honestly replied .
The Lord of Total Distortion tossed the torch into the water and muttered: 『 Release taboo 』
The fire began to illuminate below the sea, revealing what was being obscured .
Gu Qing Shan carefully looked back .
A magnificent giant finger the size of a 3-story-tall building .
The finger had a sharp nail that looked like the claw of a giant creature .
The giant finger was being restrained by hundreds of tiny black chains, pinned tightly to the bottom of the ocean .
Even more frighteningly, the finger was still struggling, attempting to escape from the restraints of the black chains .
Gu Qing Shan noticed that about 3-5 chains had already been broken and were lying still on the seabed .
『 After carefully and thoroughly studying this cathedral for many years, I discovered that the ultimate goal of this whole cathedral was to trap this finger here 』the Lord of Total Distortion explained .
After witnessing Gu Qing Shan’s [All Crossing Sea of Bitterness], the Lord of Total Distortion was speaking a lot more with a clear change in attitude .
“It doesn’t seem like the cathedral will be able to trap this finger” Gu Qing Shan replied .

3-5 chains being broken wasn’t a lot compared to the total number of chains that were restraining the finger .
But the fact that they were broken represented a certain fact——–
If it was able to snap 3-5 chains, it would eventually be able to snap all the black chains and escape from the bottom of the cathedral .
『 No matter, as long as there are powerful lifeforms that keep being supplied to the cathedral and become a part of it, the number of black chains would only keep increasing and this giant finger would keep being restrained 』the Lord of Total Distortion replied .
Gu Qing Shan was surprised to hear that .
No wonder this cathedral kept on absorbing more evil creatures into it .
So it has been draining their power .
But instead of killing them, the cathedral turned the evil creatures into a source of renewable power——- or to be more accurate, crops that were constantly being harvested .
Thanks to the ever-increasing number of evil creatures, the cathedral has been able to maintain the seal over this black finger .
“Which creature’s finger was this?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help asking .
『 I’m not sure . I once tried to attack it with my full strength, but I couldn’t even leave a dent on the outside 』the Lord of Total Distortion replied .
As he looked at the finger, he had a clear look of madness and desires in his double pupils .
『 Now, let us get to the point 』
He abruptly turned around and faced Gu Qing Shan:『 Xie Qi Fiend King, I can order the Black Bone Witch King to cast [Death Suspension] on your weapon and prolong its collapse 』
Gu Qing Shan felt glad and quickly answered: “Then please, as soon as the technique is cast, I will dedicate both 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 realms are certainly precious, but what I’m more interested in is your ability 』
“What exactly do you mean?”
『 Tomorrow, I will organize another expedition into the deep of the Chaos Demonic Sea——- that is the price, as long as you join my expedition team, then I don’t need you to offer your Strings of Law, our transaction will be considered complete 』
“So you aren’t willing to take the Strings of Law as the price?” Gu Qing Shan asked .

After seeing the giant finger, he was more than willing to offer the two Strings of Law instead of joining some deep-sea expedition team .
Don’t be ridiculous, if this cathedral was already this eerie, who knew what sort of things would lie deeper in the Chaos Demonic Sea .
But the Lord of Total Distortion’s answer caused Gu Qing Shan to feel disappointed .
『 Xie Qi Fiend King, your Strings of Law are truly precious, but I have more important things in mind right now, and that is exploring the Demonic Sea 』
The Lord of Total Distortion continued: 『 Your ability is exceptionally useful in the ocean . I will need your help——- this way my expedition will be much safer and I will reach my goal a lot easier 』
Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts quickly turned .
Seems like I won’t be able to refuse, otherwise, the Lord of Total Distortion wouldn’t help me .
If I want to save the Earth sword, I have to accept this .
Gu Qing Shan replied without issue: “I can join this expedition of yours, as long as you can fulfill my request”
『 Very fair, then we have a deal? 』the Lord of Total Distortion replied .
“There is one more thing . As I’ve shown you earlier, I need to kill” Gu Qing Shan replied .
The Lord of Total Distortion grinned: 『 There are many demonic sea creatures in the ocean, I shall allow you to help me clean some of them up 』
“Then all is fine” Gu Qing Shan confirmed .
——indeed, this was a fair deal, although I will be put into danger, the Earth sword will be saved .
This is also a chance, since I have no other choice, I can borrow his great forces to quickly gather more Soul Points .
The Lord of Total Distortion asked again: 『 So, it is decided then? 』
“Your Excellency, please save my weapon first, because it can’t afford to wait any longer . After that, I will fulfill my end of the deal” Gu Qing Shan answered .
『 Very well, I shall resolve your issue first 』
The Lord of Total Distortion looked up and spoke to the void of space: 『 Tell the Black Bone Witch King to come see me 』
「 Understood 」a voice replied .
Not too long after, the Black Bone Witch King arrived .

『 Master, how may I serve you? 』the Black Bone Witch King asked .
The Lord of Total Distortion glanced towards Gu Qing Shan: 『 You tell him 』
Gu Qing Shan then told him his request .
The Black Bone Witch King listened to him with a solemn expression and nodded: 『 Take out your weapon 』
Gu Qing Shan then carefully took the long rectangular box that contained the Earth sword and lifted it in both hands .
The Black Bone Witch King knelt on the ground, looked up at the Lord of Total Distortion and said: 『 Master, then I shall be on my way 』
『 Feel at ease 』the Lord of Total Distortion replied .
The Black Bone Witch King nodded and put one hand on top of the box .
He then took out an antique clock from the void of space with his other hand .
The Black Bone Witch King loudly roared and crushed the clock .
As soon as the clock shattered, his body slowly became transparent and vanished into nothingness .
The only people that remained on the observatory were the Lord of Total Distortion and Gu Qing Shan .
“What just happened?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask .
The Lord of Total Distortion coldly replied: 『 He could only use his Mystic-type ability to indefinitely delay death a total of three times in his entire life . Since he used it for the third time just now, he died 』
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the long rectangular box in his hand and carefully sensed inside .
He could sense a power similar to Xie Dao Ling’s temporal spell affecting the box .
That’s great, the Earth sword won’t have to die .
Since the Lord of Total Distortion had given up the life of his subordinate to help me save the Earth sword, I also won’t go back on my words and fulfill my end of the deal .
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Lord of Total Distortion and said sincerely: “Thank you for Your Excellency’s help”
