This soul has a few small fragments left, Ill just give it to you as a reward the black-clothed girl said.

The two Tianma were first surprised, then delighted.

They couldnt believe that they were rewarded with something as valuable as a Projection realm cultivators soul fragment, and theyre delighted because itll quickly increase their own strength.

With the Tianma, more strength means a higher rank.

master must be feeling extremely pleased right now.

We thank masters generosity!

They very respectfully said and quickly turned into two puffs of black mist and went into each of the cultivators ears.

The black-clothed girl turned around, walked to the doorsteps and looked outside.

The entire camp was silent and peaceful.

All the cultivators stood still as if they were wooden totems.

Their eyes were rolled upwards, a few of them were even showing eerie smiles.

There were also a few who were lying on the ground, already dead.

They had stabbed their weapons into each others body with expressions of malice and killing intent.

Until the moment of their deaths, they were still being controlled by their emotions.

The black-clothed girl nodded lightly and whispered: Such a world is truly worth conquering

A few moments later, the 12 Tianma all landed in front of her, lined up and knelt down.

Im in a good mood today, the rest of you can eat the black-clothed girl waved her hand and spoke.

Thank you, master! the 12 Tianma replied in unison.

They turned into 12 puffs of black smoke and flew all around the camp.

As soon as the black smoke enveloped them, each and every cultivator in the camp instantly fell down one after another, no longer breathing.

Although theyre dead, their expressions werent that of fear, only a stiff dumb look on their face, as if they knew nothing of what just transpired.

The black-clothed girl was heading towards a certain tent.

According to the Projection realm cultivators memory, the formation plate for warping between the two realms were in the hands of their resident formation user.

As long as I get that formation plate

But then the black-clothed girls thoughts were cut off.

There were only two corpses soaked in blood in the tent.

Their heads were severed; their headless bodies had collapsed on the ground.

There were no signs of battle in this room.

They havent been dead for too long

The black-clothed girl was speechless for a bit, then waved her hand backwards.

A faint figure appeared from the formation users body, flying in front of her.

Show the black-clothed girl commanded silently.

The figure then began to screech in agony before turning into a translucent mist of light.

Inside the mist of light, one cultivator walked into the tent, then he was suddenly beheaded. As the scene changed, a sword appeared in the mist of light.

Then it stopped there.

Such a good assassination, how interesting. But just then, they were protected by formations, how were they killed so easily?

The black-clothed girl muttered.

She raised her palm, causing the translucent mist to gather into a small black sphere that fell into her hand.

The black-clothed girl stayed silent for a little bit before glancing at the corpses.

The formation users gem ornament flew up and into her hand.

She opened the gem ornament.

Not here.

The formation for warping between the two worlds isnt here.

The black-clothed girl tossed the gem ornament down.

She then smiled.

So thats it, this is what you mean by business huh? What an interesting human

After about a minute later, the group of Tianma has returned from the mountain top.

The black-clothed girl lightly licked her lips and told Gu Qing Shan: I know youve used us, but a Projection realms soul was so delectable that Im willing to let it go

Are there any left alive? Gu Qing Shan asked.

Take a guess the black-clothed girl flashed an alluring smile.

Gu Qing Shan looked back at the mountain top.

It was completely silent up there.

The black-clothed girl stared straight at him and said: How unfortunate, we werent able to find the two-world warp formation plate

Gu Qing Shan asked: And so?

Just knowing that such a world exists is meaningless the black-clothed girl appeared regretful, as long as we havent been to that world ourselves, we wont be able to locate and accurately find it among the countless worlds

Gu Qing Shan spoke: Thats right, and this is where our business meeting becomes a negotiation

He then took out the small two-world warp formation, holding it in hand.

The black-clothed girls eyes shone, stepping closer to the formation plate, not wanting to miss even a single pattern or detail on there.

Thats right, this is it

She was almost unable to resist taking it by force.

Hm? Ill have you know this thing here is quite fragile, if you do unnecessary things, Ill just destroy it Gu Qing Shan took the formation back and said.

He was holding the Tianmas vase and the formation openly on each hand, as if he wasnt the least bit worried about them being stolen from him.

If the Tianma truly gets violent, hell put both of them back into his Inventory Bag, then destroy it.

The sub-space inside the Inventory Bags are also fragile, once the catalyst, the bag, is destroyed, everything inside will be scattered to the space vortex, impossible for anyone to find.

The black-clothed girl retracted her hand, but seemed much more intrigued than before.

She asked: Interesting, how very interesting. So what do you want from this deal of ours?

I want that Virtualized realm cultivator dead Gu Qing Shan answered.

Countless of our Tianma brethren will die on his hands the black-clothed girl shook her head.

To a Tianma King, I believe sacrificing a few subordinates doesnt mean anything Gu Qing Shan pressed on.

If master wanted to kill a Virtualized realm cultivator, even in the Tianma world, she would have to use up a great deal of Divine power the black-clothed girl replied.

Divine power?

At such a crucial point of negotiation, Gu Qing Shan didnt ask further about it and only said: Its fair to pay a price for such a thing, isnt it?

The black-clothed girl angrily snapped: Its us who has to do the sacrificing, of course you wouldnt feel like its a loss

Gu Qing Shan didnt back down a single bit: But you will get a Virtualized realm cultivators soul for it

Furthermore, theres a whole other world similar to him thatll belong to you entirely

He pressed on a bit more: Just think about it carefully. Youve already seen how their Projection realm cultivator was, the Virtualized realm cultivator is the from the same world, and there are many, many more of these cultivators in the other world

All those cultivators, all the delectable souls, as long as you cooperate with me, will all become yours

The black-clothed girl held her breath.

But the 12 Tianma behind her couldnt control themselves that well and started breathing a bit heavily.

You really cant blame them.

Theyve seen with their own eyes how a Projection realm cultivator didnt even know to resist them.

He didnt have a single speck of experience dealing with Tianma.

They practically spent no effort at all to fully devour the entire camp full of powerful souls, they easily gathered a great amount of Divine power just like that.

This was unprecedented in all of their lives.

If they can keep eating such wonderful meals, theyll very quickly become stronger.

The black-clothed girl exhaled slightly, unable to fully hide her excitement and stared at Gu Qing Shan.

She only stared at Gu Qing Shan, not saying a word.

What is it? Gu Qing Shan asked.

The black-clothed girl was still staring at him and slowly spoke: Ever since a long time ago, its always been the Tianma that tempts humans. Who wouldve thought there would be a day where a human is tempting us Tianma instead

If its a winning deal for both sides, I doubt anyone would be willing to object Gu Qing Shan commented.

I understand what you mean the black-clothed girl spoke, Ill need to return to ask the masters opinion first

Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: Then Ill be waiting for the good news

The black-clothed girl repeated his gesture and also clasped her fist.

She then observed Gu Qing Shan from top to bottom and suddenly smiled: After you die, Dao seeker, would you be willing to reincarnate into the Tianma world?

What is that supposed to mean?

Using your soul as food is too wasteful, if you reincarnate as a Tianma, Id be more than willing to nominate you to master, where you will definitely be valued highly

Dont humans enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation when they die? Gu Qing Shan couldnt help but ask.

The black-clothed girl looked at him with interest, then pursed her lips and said nothing.

She suddenly threw something towards him.

After catching it, Gu Qing Shan found that it was a rattle bracelet, threaded with 5 bells.

The rattle bracelet was unexpectedly heavy, carrying a chilling presence that even spirit energy couldnt fully isolate.

This is my Tianma Rattle, it contains my power and presencethe black-clothed girl explained.

Why give it to me?

When you ring the bells, no matter which world Im in, Ill be able to recognize your location to come find you

I can feel a great change happening in this world, if anything happens, simply use this Rattle to call for me and Ill relay it to master the black-clothed girl explained.

This is to assure that our cooperation wont go awry

If theres a need to, I will definitely use it Gu Qing Shan carefully put the rattle bracelet away and solemnly answered.

All that needed to be said has been said, its time for them to go.

The black-clothed girl looked at the Tianma vase in utter nostalgia.

Then she suddenly asked: Such an artifact, of course would have its own spirit, do you perhaps understand what it is singing?

The Tianma vase was still in Gu Qing Shans hands, occasionally letting out some female singing.

Gu Qing Shan wasnt expecting to hear that so he asked dumbfounded: What is it singing?

The black-clothed girl curtsied, then started to fly backwards into the air.

Suddenly, she chanted with a clear ringing golden voice

Jiojio bi j, zi b kngg. Shng ch y sh, q rn r y. (1)

As the black-clothed girl sang softly, the 12 alluring Tianma all floated into the air following her.

Before the Tianma left, they all turned back, smiling temptingly at Gu Qing Shan.

They all sang harmoniously: Jiojio bi j, zi b kngg. Shng ch y sh, q rn r y.

Their voice was harmonized, echoing, leaving a lingering feeling of not wanting to let go.

As the 13 Tianma finished singing, they slowly spun, disappearing into the void of space.

As Gu Qing Shan watched them leave, he sighed: Thinking of me? What a truly opportunistic bunch

It was now that he wore the rattle.

Everything went smoothly as expected.

Now, he can go ahead with the next part of the plan.

He placed his hand on top of the vase.

A few lines of glowing text appeared from the War God UI.

[The Tianmas Pond of Vitality, Holy Artifact of the 6th Tianma world of Lust. Gives birth to Yinma, Hunma, Sima, Zuima, Chenma, Yema, Xinma, the origin of all demons] (2)

[Skills that this artifact has used]

[Comprehending Demon World Transportation Soul Points cost: 500]

[Would you like to comprehend it?]

[Attention, this Skill can only be performed using the Tianmas Pond of Vitality]

Gu Qing Shan spoke: I want to comprehend it

[User has spent 500 Soul Points, Demon World Transportation learnt]

A flow of warmth came from the vase into Gu Qing Shans hand, following it up until it reached his Thought Sea.

In a few moments, he has instantly learnt the way that the Tianma uses the vase to return to their world.

Note:

(1): This is actually a poem, but since I dont understand Chinese well enough to translate it, Im leaving it as is. The meaning of the poem is basically: There are many beautiful things in our world, but it doesnt have you

(2): these are all names of demons and other obstruction on the path of cultivation. Basically, this vase is claimed to be the origin for all of them.
