Chapter 832: Key of The Seal

Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9

The demonic sea creatures quickly scattered.

If it was just fighting against a single Divinity, they still had plenty of fight to give, but after that cave of grey lightning was turned against them, they lost all of their fighting spirits.

Such a grand battle ended in such a ridiculous way.

Gu Qing Shan also calmed down.

“I’m glad you’re here”

Gu Qing Shan smiled at the jade gourd pendant Adorable.

The gourd Adorable spoke weakly

Xiu… wu wu…

(I… I feel weak)

“What? How are you feeling right now?” Gu Qing Shan immediately asked.

Xiu xiu xiu xiu xiu wu wu

(That summoning spell just now was too powerful, and I used my powers too many times before that, so I’ll have to die soon)

Die?

Gu Qing Shan’s heart skipped a beat and loudly asked: “What happened? Why do you have to die? How do I save you?”

Xiu… wu wu…

(After using my abilities three times, I will die)

Gu Qing Shan was shocked.

Adorable first stole the piece of metal, then immediately returned and fought together with me, it used its abilities several times during the battle with the demonic sea creatures.

It has indeed used its abilities too many times to count at this point.

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly shouted: “Why didn’t you tell me, if I knew about that, I wouldn’t have let you joined the battle”

Xiu… Xiu xiu xiu… Wu wu!

(It’s fine… I was glad I could fight alongside you… even if I have to die!)

Gu Qing Shan was completely clueless on what to do.

First the Earth sword, now the gourd, can’t I save anything at all?

He spoke in a low voice: “Adorable, there must be a way to save you, tell me”

Xiu xiu xiu, wu wu, xiu xiu xiu xiu, xiu xiu xiu… Xiu… xiu xiu xiu

(Death is a path that must be tread, after I die, take my gourd seed, infuse it with Soul Points… may be…)

(Farewell, and goodbye, Gu Qing Shan)

After telling him that, the jade gourd pendant lost all signs of its life.

The glow around its body was also completely gone.

With a ‘bang’, the jade pendant shattered and crumbled into dust in the wind.

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

After waiting for so long, we only just got to know each other and it already shattered?

I had thought it was a very powerful treasure.

But just like the Earth sword, it was already at the end of its rope, barely hanging on to life but didn’t tell me and used the last of its life to right.

Gu Qing Shan’s heart slowly sank, unable to say a thing.

All of a sudden!

Gu Qing Shan noticed that he was holding a gourd seed in his hand!

(take my gourd seed, infuse it with Soul Points… may be…)

Recalling the jade pendant Adorable’s words, Gu Qing Shan felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He carefully clutched the gourd seed and glanced at the [Kindling] UI.

——-seeing his Soul Points having now reached over 7 million, Gu Qing Shan infused Soul Points into the gourd seed without hesitation.

One breath’s worth of time later.

He poured in a whopping 100,000 Soul Points!

Another crisp ‘bang’ sound of something shattering was heard.

The gourd seed was no more.

It was now a jade gourd pendant.

This jade gourd pendant looked exactly the same as the jade pendant Adorable, it was trembling constantly as if trying to suppress some sort of emotions.

And finally, it couldn’t suppress it anymore.

Xiu~ xiu~ Xiu xiu xiu xiu~

(Hahaha~ You should’ve seen your face just now, that was really quite something!)

The jade gourd pendant squeaked happily

Gu Qing Shan: “…”

“You—— aren’t dead?”

Gu Qing Shan glared at it and asked.

The jade gourd pendant explained: (Whenever I use my abilities three times in a row, I’ll be captured by all the Origin Laws of the current world and killed once)

“Why does it work like that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

(Several hundred million years ago, someone people had discussed this, but after they changed their perspectives and thought about it again, they felt that the Origin Laws were doing the right thing) the jade gourd pendant answered him.

“So then why are you still alive now?” Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.

(I have to use this method to fool the Laws in order to continue living—— or did you actually get fooled by that as well?)

The jade gourd pendant floated in mid-air, shaking its body.

Gu Qing Shan sighed deeply and felt a bit ashamed.

Yes, I do occasionally fool and deceive a few people, I won’t deny that.

But just take a look, my treasure tool was already deceiving the Laws of the world.

Compared to that, what I did isn’t even considered an achievement.

I still have a lot more to learn.

Since the gourd was in no danger, Gu Qing Shan didn’t want to chat with it anymore.

He flew back onto the ship, entered the lava cathedral, and headed straight for the deepest part of the cathedral.

Several hundred thin chains laid scattered on the ground.

The giant finger that was originally restrained here was nowhere to be seen.

As expected, the Lord of Total Distortion brought the mysterious finger with him.

What exactly is he trying to do?

With a lot of questions in mind, Gu Qing Shan left the giant ship.

He wielded the Frostlie staff towards the ship.

The entire giant ship was frozen and turned into an ice mountain that floated on top of the ocean.

All the evil creatures were sealed inside, unable to move.

The Chao Yin sword vibrated a bit.

A tidal wave came up from underneath the sea.

The wave raised the ice mountain and slowly carried it back where they arrived.

The Demon Dragon nail was still being hung at the top of the ship’s sails, and there aren’t any other 100-million-year-old demonic sea creatures on the way back, so this slow trip should be quite safe for them.

Even if they happen to run into a sea creature that wasn’t afraid to become a Demon Dragon bloodkin, it would have to first break the ice that’s protecting the ship.

As soon as the ice was broken, the evil creatures would awaken.

At that time, whether they live or die will have to depend on their own strength.

After doing that, Gu Qing Shan took out a piece of metal.

Because of how sudden it appeared last time, he hurriedly threw it away as soon as possible.

But now, Gu Qing Shan intended to take a closer look at it.

——–this was something the jade gourd pendant Adorable stole from the transaction between the Lord of Total Distortion and the demonic sea creatures.

Thinking of the finger that the Lord of Total Distortion obtained as well as the deal he made with the demonic sea creatures, Gu Qing Shan could faintly guess what he was planning.

This deal of theirs was probably related to that monster.

Gu Qing Shan held the piece of metal between his fingers and carefully observed it.

This was an incredibly ancient piece of metal with various marks showing its age on the outside.

The piece of metal was basically a thin and small triangle, whatever patterns and letters that were on it were now faded, leaving only the holes and deeper carvings intact.

As Gu Qing Shan took the piece of metal into this hand, lines of blood-red text appeared on the [Kindling] UI.

[Key of the Seal]

[Description: This key can open a secret path]

[Note: All secret paths leading into the Eternal Abyss have been sealed, but only the key of one of them was passed on]

After Gu Qing Shan read through all of this, the blood-red text on the UI disappeared.

[Kindling]’s voice came: [Your Excellency, I suggest that you don’t try and go to that place]

“Why not?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[Kindling] replied: [The Eternal Abyss is endless and bottomless, even the Soul Shrieker was nothing but a single monster within the Abyss, once you step inside, there’s no telling what could happen]

“Are you worried that I would be eaten by the monsters?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[No, I’m not worried about that at all. After all, you are still too weak, the energy it takes any monsters from the Eternal Abyss to open their mouths would far exceed what they could obtain from eating you. It’s a huge loss so they wouldn’t bother to do such a thing] [Kindling] answered him.

Gu Qing Shan silently listened to the end before he understood what it meant.

Yeah, that’s a bit annoying to hear.

Gu Qing Shan sternly asked: “Then why are you suggesting that I don’t go?”

[Kindling] answered him: [As your sword said before, he who wrestles against an evil dragon would ultimately become an evil dragon himself, and he who associates with the Abyss would one day become a part of the Abyss. You are an excellent seed to become the Demon King, the Order hopes that you will become the Demon King of Condemnation, and not some unknown, inexplicable entity]
