“Pure Yang Purgatory, Hell of the Ghost Realm?”
Ye Yang was momentarily stunned: “Master, are you referring to the Yellow Springs Road after crossing the Bridge of Helplessness and drinking the Meng Po Soup? This is sending me to my death…”
“Hehe, you are mistaken!”
Azure Xuan shook his head and chuckled: “The Bridge of Helplessness and Yellow Springs Road are merely misconceptions of the Hell of the Ghost Realm. The world is divided into three realms: the Heavenly Realm, the Human Realm, and the Ghost Realm. This Ghost Realm is just another dimension. When a person dies, their Soul Power separates from their body and naturally enters the Ghost Realm, undergoing trials in Purgatory. Ultimately, they may be refined into a puddle of black soil by a powerful being from another dimension or, if fortunate enough, enter the Cycle of Reincarnation and be reborn as something within the Six Paths.”
Ye Yang took a deep breath and asked, “Master, where exactly am I going?”
Azure Xuan smiled lightly but his expression grew serious: “Beneath the ground for thousands of miles lies the outer perimeter of the Hell of the Ghost Realm, filled with scorching soul lava. Countless lonely souls from reincarnation hell endure torment and training there. To the northeast, directly below North Sea City, there is a massive entrance to the Ghost Realm. For millions of years, countless Vengeful Spirits have been burned to ashes there. The endless scorching lava is known as Pure Yang Purgatory.”
As he spoke, Azure Xuan paused and continued: “Pure Yang Purgatory, located on the outskirts of the Hell of the Ghost Realm, is ironically a place of extreme yin and yang. The convergence of yin and yang energies makes elemental forces very active there. Only in Pure Yang Purgatory can you, Zi Yu, possibly reforge the Haotian Sword and ascend to godhood!”
The eyes of Ye Yang were filled with fighting spirit: “I didn’t expect that our realm is so close to the Ghost Realm. Master, how do I get to Pure Yang Purgatory? I can’t just dig a thousand miles underground after reaching North Sea City, right?”
Azure Xuan couldn’t help but smile: “That won’t be necessary. It’s actually quite simple. Outside of North Sea City, there is a place called Wangui Cave. It’s a deep cave that generally no one visits. During the day, wild beasts roam freely, and at night, ghosts appear; it’s a desolate area. You will follow the path into Wangui Cave, reach its depths, and you will naturally see a large fiery pit. Jump in, and as long as you don’t die, you will see Pure Yang Purgatory.”
“Alright, I understand!”
Ye Yang shook off the water stains on his sleeves: “My strength should recover to peak condition in about seven days. I really can’t muster any power right now; I can’t even withstand a single attack from a Starry Sky Level Three expert.”
“Exactly. So you need to walk to Wangui Cave in North Sea City.” Azure Xuan smiled slightly: “The continent today is different from before; it’s no longer an era where only Starry Sky Experts hold sway. Nowadays in Central Plains, there is one Upper Deity, one Asura God, seven Mid-Level Deities, including that great wind, along with countless Initial Deities. These divine-level experts are recruiting mercenaries everywhere in an attempt to carve out their own territories. Therefore, they are actively buying out Starry Sky Experts, building their own strength. Once you fly towards the North Sea, you will definitely encounter obstruction from divine-level experts—either you submit to them or they kill you for your Soul Core. So you must act discreetly; travel alone with just your sword to reach North Sea City, for safety’s sake.”
“Understood. Return my Azure Soul Sword!”
“Alright, alright…”
……
The Flying Scythe General prepared everything: wearing a green robe paired with a dark green cloak, carrying both the Azure Soul Sword and the Haotian Sword on his back along with some rations and a wine gourd hanging at his waist. He also made slight alterations to Ye Yang's appearance by adding a fake scar; this single scar would deter ruffians from approaching him while also preventing gods seeking talent from taking notice. A strong expert above Starry Sky Level Three would not allow any visible scars on their body.
On the stone steps in front of the main hall, Ye Yang, dressed like a ranger, looked spirited. With a sword on his back and a gourd hanging at his waist, he clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, saying, "Take care, everyone. I will return in a month at the shortest, or half a year at the longest. Master, remember your promise and help protect the safety of Xiao Xi..."
Azure Xuan nodded.
Ye Yang then turned to Wang Lie and said, "Wang Lie, you and Zhao Yun, along with Zhang Fei, should gather wood and stones inside the Azure Cloud Mountain Range to rebuild our Qi State fortress. Never give up on rescuing those defenseless commoners. I won't let that scoundrel Da Feng occupy Qi State for too long!"
Wang Lie clasped his fists and replied firmly, "Rest assured, Qi King. I will not disappoint everyone and will restore our might!"
"Good!"
Ye Yang looked at Zhang Tianhe and asked, "Tianhe, will you come with me to cultivate?"
Zhang Tianhe shook his head. "No, Zi Yu. I want to return to Beast God Valley to cultivate. This time, if you can ascend to godhood, I must reach the Starry Sky Seventh Level; otherwise, I won't have the face to return!"
"Alright, brother. Let's meet again in the martial world!"
"Good!"
...
Ye Yang turned decisively and flew out of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. Once on the official road, he walked slowly while trying to suppress his aura fluctuations. To an outsider, he appeared to be just a slightly brave young hero, certainly not a hidden master from beyond.
Along the way, he passed Liang City. Today's Liang City was no longer part of Qi Land; a large character for "Wind" hung high on the city wall—this was the national title established by Da Feng. Outside the city, sharp wooden stakes were everywhere, with corpses hanging from them. They seemed to be soldiers and officials; Da Feng employed ruthless methods—those who resisted were all killed—many had no chance of escaping death.
"Heavenly Kill!"
Ye Yang clenched his fists in anger. He sat down at a nearby teahouse and ordered a bowl of tea.
The waiter glanced at Ye Yang's attire and asked, "Where are you from, young sir? You seem like someone who travels the martial world?"
Ye Yang nodded. "I am originally from Liang City but have been studying abroad for many years. Now that I return to Liang City, I find everything has changed and can only leave again."
The waiter’s eyes were filled with anger as he said, "Yes, ever since the storm took over Liang City, a group of good-for-nothings have become the city guards and City Lieutenants, oppressing the locals and committing all sorts of atrocities. In just five days, my small stall has been extorted for protection money three times. Sigh, at this rate, I might not even be able to make a living. Speaking of which, when King Qi and Ye Yang were still around, the governance was strict, and the country was peaceful; that was truly a prosperous era. It's just a pity..."
"What a pity?" Ye Yang asked.
The waiter wiped the table and replied, "It's a pity that King Qi and Ye Yang had such a short life. I heard that during a confrontation at Fire Axe Mountain, Ye Yang was killed by a Divine-level Expert. Since then, he has never appeared again. Such a caring Sire for the citizens died young; it’s truly unfortunate, truly..."
Ye Yang couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry, Brother Waiter. Ye Yang is blessed and will definitely survive. Now everyone is on edge; you should take care of yourself too. As long as you can survive, you will surely see the day when Ye Yang regains lost territory."
The waiter was taken aback.
After eating two hot buns and drinking a bowl of tea, Ye Yang left, placing down ten taels of silver.
"Young Hero, please wait! The silver you gave is too much!" the waiter hurriedly said.
Without looking back, Ye Yang waved his hand. "The rest is for you as a reward. Take care!"
The waiter watched Ye Yang's retreating figure and murmured to himself, "A young man bearing dual swords, so impressive. Could it be... could it be that this person is Ye Yang? Oh my, King Qi just had tea at our place..."
