"I violated the Plane Rules, foolishly attempting to break into the Upper Plane with a Demon Evil Body, and was subdued by the Guardian Army for my defiance, imprisoned in the Senluo Sea, enduring endless heavenly punishment," Jue Shang said seemingly casually, having been confined for countless years, her body and mind shattered. Yet, when she mentioned the past, she only smiled, her demeanour carefree.
Yue Jinghua watched her, feeling that she was quite unreserved, and a certain fondness grew in her heart.
The Senluo Sea, boundless and indefinite, exists in no known Plane, and no one knows its whereabouts.
The sea breeds various Ancient Sea Creatures, these Dark Beasts rank at Sixth and Seventh Grade, naturally ferocious, and repeatedly torment the prisoners trapped within its domain.
Each prisoner confined within the Senluo Sea endures different heavenly punishments according to their own sins, some imprisoned for a thousand years, others for a hundred.
Before Jue Shang was cast into the Senluo Sea, her Demon Fetus was extracted, her legs were cut off, her limbs were shackled by Sealing Demon Daggers, then she was fixed to the Heavenly Punishment Pillar and thrown into the Senluo Sea.
What’s more terrifying is that, every month, the Ancient Dark Beasts at the sea bottom would gnaw at her severed legs once, after which, the sea water would gradually heal her wounds, waiting for the next gnawing.
Year after year, day after day, until the prisoners in the Senluo Sea mentally collapse, their Primordial Spirits utterly destroyed.
Compared to the heavenly punishment, the punishments Yue Jinghua had seen, whether in modern or ancient times, were not worth mentioning.
They say the Heavenly Gods are merciful, but when facing those who defy the Plane Rules, they are utterly cruel.
Seeing Yue Jinghua fall silent, Jue Shang looked up and smiled, "Little girl, are you scared? Don’t worry, I will find a way to help you sneak into the bottom of the sea, over three hundred fathoms deep, to get you out of here. However, before that, you must exchange something on you."
A Demon is a Demon, even after being imprisoned for a thousand years, Jue Shang has not lost the demonic nature within her; she never dispenses favors without expecting something in return.
"What thing?" Yue Jinghua was already on guard, dealing with a Demon requires extra caution, for one could end up not knowing how they died. However, at the moment, she had no other choice but to seek Jue Shang’s help.
"Don’t worry, I won’t harm your life," Jue Shang said with a gentle laugh, "I’ve been imprisoned for hundreds of years, it’s been quite dull, and I’m tired of everything in the Senluo Sea. Find some entertainment for me; leave your treasured item for me to enjoy. I will teach you a Dark Skill, instruct you on how to cultivate Dark Techniques with Evil Qi. In this way, when you return to your continent, you will become the Peak existence," Jue Shang’s voice was like a harp singing in the wind, gently plucking at one’s heartstrings.
To cultivate with Evil Qi, Yue Jinghua was shocked; there was actually such a cultivation method. On the Canglong Continent, there had never been any records of cultivating Dark Techniques with Evil Qi.
"The world has Yin Yang, Dark Practitioners cultivate with Dark Energy, demons with Evil Qi, but the effects lead to the same path. Cultivate Dark Energy by day, Evil Qi by night, think about it, double the effect, how much your Cultivation would increase. Ten years ago, a boy named Ao Beizhan, while being hunted, ended up here, and he chose to agree to my terms, and thus he left this place smoothly. Another boy stubbornly tried to leave here on his own strength, and he ended up as belly fill for sea eels," Jue Shang’s sweet voice made it difficult to resist agreeing to her terms.
Yue Jinghua seemed to take the bait, her cherry lips parted, eagerly asking, "What do you want?"
"Any rare item will do, let me see if you have what I want," Jue Shang’s alluring eyes scanned over Liao Yuejinghua’s body.
Before she could finish speaking, Yue Jinghua "oh"ed and swiftly rummaged from within her bosom, and soon held a fat, pale white Meat Worm, "Rare item, how about this worm, an Ancient Divine Worm, there’s only one under the heavens."
"Oh, oh, ugly, what are you doing," the Meat Worm was sleeping soundly, drooling, suddenly jolted awake, smelling the evil breeze, "Oh, oh, terrifying, it’s the scent of a Demon, has the Demon Clan no humanity? They could fry, boil, stir-fry, deep-fry, stew, braise me..."
Jue Shang pursed her lips; who would want to eat worms? She is a High-level Demon.
The seduction had not yet succeeded, and more effort was needed.
Jue Shang was not discouraged, and continued to tempt Yue Jinghua, "You misunderstood me; I’m talking about something precious that is closely related to you, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a treasure or Dark Pet. For instance, ten years ago, that boy chose to exchange his conscience with me for the Cultivation Technique of Refining Evil, you can too..."
