Chapter 41: Purgatory Sea
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Tempering steel!
If one wanted to succeed, one had to be prepared to shed blood and sweat.
There were two heavy weights on Yu Huang’s body. One was Xuanyuan Jing and the other was Yin Mingchong. If she wanted to climb over these two mountains, she had to become stronger.
No matter how difficult the cultivation path was, she had to face it head-on!
“Master, I’ve heard a rumor before. It’s said that in the southernmost part of the Holy Spirit Continent, in a canyon near the Blazing Realm Continent, there’s a Purgatory Sea hidden…”
Upon hearing the words Purgatory Sea, Lin Jiansheng’s expression changed abruptly. He looked at Yu Huang in bewilderment and asked softly, “Why did you mention the Purgatory Sea?”
Yu Huang said, “I heard that the Purgatory Sea can temper one’s mental strength. I want to go to the Purgatory Sea to gain experience.” Repeated tempering of her mental strength would definitely increase her control over her mental strength. Perhaps she could condense a Psychic Pearl as soon as possible.
“I heard that Saint Xuan Ye of the Divine Moon Empire encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation back then. His Purifying Spirit power stopped at Level 8. In order to break through, Saint Xuan Ye risked his life and jumped into the Purgatory Sea to enter seclusion. When he returned three years later, he was already a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master. Master, is this true?”
There were many legends about Saint Xuan Ye, and this was only one of them.
Yu Huang did not know if it was true or not, so she could only seek confirmation from Lin Jiansheng.
After Lin Jiansheng heard her words, he remained silent for a long time.
His acquiescence made Yu Huang understand that the legend was true. “Master, I want to go to the Purgatory Sea.” She was afraid that she would not be able to condense a Psychic Pearl even after spending her entire life trying it. She could wait, and her master could wait, but could her father wait?
Her father was only an ordinary person now. Without cultivation, he would soon grow old and die. Yu Huang urgently wanted to become a Purifying Spirit Master and increase her cultivation level as soon as possible. When she was powerful enough, she would bring her father back to the Yin Clan to take back everything that belonged to them!
Lin Jiansheng could see Yu Huang’s determination. His expression was very ugly as he gnashed his teeth and said, “Then do you know that up to now, there have been a total of four hundred people who have jumped into the Purgatory Sea, but in the end, only Saint Xuan Ye alone was able to walk out alive?! The remaining three hundred plus people have long died in the Purgatory Sea!”
“The Purgatory Sea is a place where you can never return alive from! You don’t have to suffer like this?!” Lin Jiansheng couldn’t just watch as the Yin Clan’s young master jumped into the Purgatory Sea.
After being berated, Yu Huang did not have the slightest bit of timidity or weakness on her face. She said, “Master, you said before that steel is formed from repeated tempering. And I have also heard of a saying: Only through suffering can one rise up to the top.”
“Master, I have to go to the Purgatory Sea.”
The determination in Yu Huang’s eyes revealed a sense of stubbornness that gave Lin Jiansheng a headache.
The two of them stared at each other for a moment. In the end, neither of them was willing to give in. Lin Jiansheng stood up and left with a flick of his sleeve. When he left, he said, “You can go, but you have to come back alive!”
…
Since she had decided to go to the Purgatory Sea, she had to take a leave of absence from school.
The next day, Yu Huang went to school to take a leave. She thought about how she would be leaving soon, so she wanted to say goodbye to Anna Tao.
She walked into the cla.s.sroom and saw that Anna Tao’s seat was empty. She asked the cla.s.s monitor, “Cla.s.s monitor, did Anna take leave today?”
Jiang Shangfeng told her, “Anna is a Beast Tamer now. She has already reported to the Beast Tamer Academy.”
Only then did Yu Huang remember that every youth who had successfully awakened their beast form would report to the Beast Tamer Academy and undergo the most professional Beast Tamer course training to partic.i.p.ate in the National Beast Tamer Compet.i.tion held next year.
Only the top 100 Beast Tamers who stood out in the compet.i.tion would have the chance to go to the Divine Realm Academy to study.
Xuanyuan Jing was accepted into Divine Realm Academy through this method.
