Are those the words of the previous Devil King? Il the skull woman asked.

“Yes” Gu Qing Shan affirmed.

The advice that the previous Devil King emphasized the most was for him to flee.

Before he’s capable of overcoming the [One Being Myriad Lives] technique, the only thing he should do, or can do, is to flee!

The further the better!

Gu Qing Shan gently tapped the Devil King Warden Rod and muttered: “Lady High Deity, I’m going to take Hell with me and leave the Huang Quan realm, what are your plans?

The skull woman remained silent briefly before asking: Your sword… I think it’s still sealed by the Heavenly Emperor inside the Hall of Reincarnation, what do you intend to do about that? J

“I’m planning to go with my friend to the Hall of Reincarnation and try to see if I can undo those lock seals, then retrieve my weapon” Gu Qing Shan replied.

If the Heavenly Emperor arrives while you’re in the middle of retrieving your sword, that would be very troublesome

After saying that, the skull woman put her hands together to form a hand seal.

The entire Huang Quan realm began to shake.

A yellow burst of light emerged from within the Forgetting River and hovered in the sky, it first illuminated the whole Grand Tie Wei Mountain, then started flying towards the Hall of Reincarnation.

“Senior?” Gu Qing Shan hesitantly asked.

If we’ve decided to leave, then we’re not leaving anything usable for him—– we’re going to take everything there is to take! J the skull woman answered.

Gu Qing Shan was startled, then asked with a happy tone: “Can we really accomplish that?”

Leave the Forgetting River as well as the Bridge of Life and Death that crosses over it to me, my tower pagoda is still at the bottom of the Forgetting

River after all. Furthermore, if you can resolve the issue with the Grand Tie Wei Mountain and take it with you, then the Hall of Reincarnation that was built upon the Grand Tie Wei Mountain wouldn’t be left behind either the skull woman explained.

“I… how should I do that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The skull woman sighed: t Unfortunately, you’ve already received the Devil King Warden Rod and the Deific Authority of Huang Quan Devil King– according to the Samsara rules established by the Heavenly Emperor, it would be impossible for you to obtain another Divine Artifact…

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but turn his gaze towards the distance, confirming that the entire palace array of the Hall of Reincarnation was resting upon the Grand Tie Wei Mountain and the banks of the Forgetting River.

If the Forgetting River, the Bridge ofLife and Death, the Hall ofReincarnation, the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, as well as the 18 Layers of Hell were all to leave the Samsara with me, then the only thing left remaining in the Huang Quan realm would be the Gates ofHell.

Within the Huang Quan realm, the Gates ofHell has the capability to turn dead people into devil-kind, an ability that isn’t arbitrarily used.

Gu Qing Shan pondered about it for a few moments.

If the only thing remaining in the Huang Quan realm is the Gates ofHell, then all living beings who die would no longer be able to reincarnate here, only converted into devil-kind.

The Samsara’s cycle oflife and death would cease.

The Heavenly Emperor would no longer be able to continue exerting his control over the entire process of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy. This would truly be the very first proper step of our clash!

laughed: “Senior, I have the intention to take an entire realm of the Samsara with me, so why would I obey the rules established by the Heavenly Emperor? Don’t worry, I have a way to bypass those rules and obtain a second Samsara Divine Artifact”

If that’s the case, catch!

The skull woman tossed a badge towards him.

As Gu Qing Shan caught it, he noticed that it was actually a piece of ornamental jade that glowed a bright yellow.

The skull woman said: If Use my badge to open the Thousand Layered Halls, retrieve your Tie Wei Mountain sword and achieve the Samsara Mountain God Deific Authority. Only then would you be able to bring the entire Grand Tie Wei Mountain and leave as Hell departs!

Gu Qing Shan was glad: “Thank you senior!”

His figure vanished and reappeared inside the Hall of Reincarnation in a flash.

This place was the main hall, but to reach the chamber where the Six Paths Great Mountain sword was being sealed, he still needed to go through several layers of barriers.

– – – – -which he doesn’t know the way to.

Gu Qing Shan drew the Delimitation Divine Sword from the void of space and lightly swung.

Demon Dragon instantly appeared from the [All-Encompassing Sword Realm].

“What’s the situation?” he asked.

Gu Qing Shan summarized what had happened.

Demon Dragon looked closely at the ornamental jade in his hand and said: “If you already have the High Deity’s token of identification, then it’s no issue, let’s go-

“Wait! First take me to where you keep your cooking ingredients– – – – – I need to find a couple of things” Gu Qing Shan said.

Demon Dragon was surprised: “You can still eat during such an emergency?”

“No, I have other uses for it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Alright!”

Demon Dragon led the way as Gu Qing Shan followed him through a complicated array of halls, first making their way to the pantry before flying towards the A-rank treasure vaults.

All the lock seals on the way automatically disappeared thanks to the ornamental jade.

Eventually, they reached a certain secret chamber.

Numerous shadows and figures could be faintly seen around the secret chamber, if any unauthorized personnel were to make their way here, they’d be led into inescapable labyrinths, or worse, straight into one of the numerous killing chambers booby-trapped with lock seals.

-this was the Thousand Layered Halls.

Due to it having no artifact spirit, the Devil King Warden Rod wasn’t kept here, but all the other famous Huang Quan Divine Artifacts were stored in this place.

Gu Qing Shan showed the jade in his hand.

All the shadows immediately faded away, revealing a large palace hall in front of him and Demon Dragon.

The two of them quickly made their way inside.

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze and pointed at a crimson pair of claw gauntlets:

“Brother Leng, this is the top-rate claw-type Divine Artifact within Huang Quan, want to switch your weapon?”

Demon Dragon curtly glanced at it before answering: “The Gloom Shadow Devil Claws I possess are a pair with my wife’s kitten claws, I’m not changing them out”

“Tsk, then it’s a shame for these claws” Gu Qing Shan commented.

Demon Dragon perked up his chin and casually replied: “What’s a shame? I have a child, they’ll be wielding these claws when they grow up- – right, do you have a child?”

Gu Qing Shan was speechless.

Demon Dragon appeared startled: “I forgot, sorry”

Gu Qing Shan turned away and started walking towards the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

The sword was still sealed.

Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the sword without saying anything, but gently plucked a strand of hair from his head.

Demon Dragon doubtfully asked: “You’re already the Huang Quan Devil King, how do you plan on becoming the Samsara Mountain God now?”

Gu Qing Shan explained: “The Huang Quan Devil King is Rhode, Necromancer of the River of Death; I’ll use a technique to return to my original form—–even the Samsara’s will have to recognize my original identity”

His body slowly transformed back into his original form.

—-— —this was rIJltimate Mvsterv of All Reinvq F.analll

Instantly, several lines of text appeared in the void of space:

[You’ve bypassed all means of secrecy and used Ultimate Mystery of All Beings

Equal to thoroughly return to your original identity]

[Name: Gu Qing Shan]

[Deific Authority: none]

[All persisting Laws recognize your current identity]

Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and put his hand up towards the void of space around the sword.

“I want to retrieve this sword!”

He uttered.

The seal was instantly triggered.

The sword began to audibly radiate an invisible fluctuation that fully enveloped Gu Qing Shan.

“Be careful, this is the Samsara’s Law of Sealing, you have to fulfill all of the sword spirit’s prerequisites in order to take it” Demon Dragon told him in a solemn tone.

“I know!” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He turned his vision towards the void of space towards some bloody red text:

[You’ve fulfilled the sword spirit’s first condition:]

[Of pristine body]

[You must now fulfill the sword spirit’s second condition:]

[To eat a lot of salted fish without being full]

Gu Qing Shan scanned his vision across the text and ripped open the void of space, allowing a pile of salted fish to fall to the ground.

He then transformed into a big tabby cat and hurriedly began to eat.

[Orange Sovereign] had a unique ability to convert everything he eats into pure energy, so no matter how much he eats, he wouldn’t be full.

-the most that would happen is for his stomach to slightly bulge.

Originally, Demon Dragon was solemnly observing this process, but then he really didn’t know what to think when he saw this.

A few moments later.

All the salted fish had been eaten.

The tabby cat turned back into a human who stood in front of the sword once nonin

Gu Qing Shan glanced towards the void of space:

[You are not full at all]

[You’ve fulfilled the sword spirit’s second condition: To eat a lot of salted fish without being full]

[Please fulfill the third condition:]

[As a dragon, to perform crosstalk]

Gu Qing Shan had already made the preparations, so he took out a jade tag and gave it to Demon Dragon.

“This is the most important final trial, so I need your help” Gu Qing Shan sternly said.

“I’ll do my best”

Demon Dragon received the jade tag with a similarly stern expression, then began to read it.

After the first few sentences, his expression changed.

“Gu… ”

As he looked up to ask something, he noticed that Gu Qing Shan had transformed into a gigantic black dragon clad in black flames.

The black dragon was condensing its form as much as it could, finally stopping when it was about as large as three human adults.

“What exactly are the conditions to unseal the sword? Why do I have to read this?” Demon Dragon asked with a very confused tone.

The black dragon firmly replied: The final condition is to perform crosstalk, I thought about it for a very long time and concluded that I needed a secondary performer J

Demon Dragon’s face twitched, then sighed: “I thought that a sword of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword’s caliber would require some sort of extremely serious trial, who could have known that it only required eating fish and performing crosstalk”

The black dragon scoffed: You think these trials are easy? I’ll tell you honestly, there are a lot of hidden deathtraps within these trials, you wouldn’t even be able to pass the first one J

“You’re really telling me that I wouldn’t be able to pass even the first trial? How is that possible? Which round is this?” Demon Dragon was unconvinced.

r The third J the black dragon replied.

Demon Dragon stared straight at him.

r It’s true, I don’t usually deceive people J the black dragon said with an

extremely earnest expression.

Demon Dragon.

Having no choice, Demon Dragon looked down at the jade tag in his hand and tiredly muttered: “Crosstalk, is an art of speech, comedy, and music-

He really hasn’t done such a thing ever before in his life, so he couldn’t help but stop: “Wait a minute, wait just a minute, Gu Qing Shan, let’s be frank here. I know you’re not nearly as straightforward as you claim to be, so just tell me the truth did you really perform crosstalk to your sword in the past?”

The black dragon replied casually: r I didn’t perform crosstalk to her, but she probably thinks that it’s funny, so now it is J

“Then what exactly did you perform?” Demon Dragon pursued the matter.

r Rapping J Gu Qing Shan answered.

Demon Dragon stared straight at Gu Qing Shan, then recalled the dance he performed all that time ago in the Bramble Bird Kingdom.

This guy- – – –

How exactly can he act so frivolously?

No, the problem isn’t his frivolousness.

The problem is that he can actually resolve a lot ofproblems through frivolousness!

That’s the exceptional part.

Demon Dragon was truly speechless, then finally spoke while gritting his teeth:

“Gu Qing Shan, I suggest that you try rapping”

r But why? J the black dragon was surprised.

“Because she’s never heard crosstalk before, only rapping!” Demon Dragon shouted.

r …That’s true ] Gu Qing Shan clapped his claws together like he just had an epiphany.

A few moments later.

The black dragon cleared his throat and began to come up with a rap.

Demon Dragon raised the jade tag and asked: “Need me to help you write it down?”

r No need, that jade tag is imbued with a unique Law that charges money for every word you read from it, I can memorize long lyrics just fine- please help me find a microphone J

The black dragon boastfully said..
