Chapter 34 - It Has Been One Year

Chapter 34 It Has Been One Year

As expected, Xi Ling did not directly agree to Yu Chen’s request.

Yu Chen was not disappointed. After all, compared to borrowing the strength of others, he felt that it would be more satisfying to do it himself.

However, whether it be Yu Chen dirtying his own hands or any other way, Wang Yun must die.

Although Xi Ling did not directly agree, she promised Yu Chen, “Before helping my homeland out of its difficulties, I can’t help you deal with Wang Yun.”

“However, when my homeland is fine, I will do everything I can to help you deal with Wang Yun.”

Yu Chen asked with interest, “Oh? Why? Isn’t he your lackey?”

Xi Ling looked down and said very truthfully, “Because of my special Talent Tree, I can see a little into a person’s nature.”

“His true character is the exact opposite of his appearance.”

Ten days later.

The Immortal of the Hunyuan Sect had been chosen: Xi Ling!

At first this was very puzzling.

Everyone thought this was too strange.

Even if Yu Chen wasn’t chosen, Wang Yun should have been chosen.

However, because of the appearance of the Grand Elder, everyone quieted down.

…

As the days passed, Yu Chen did not participate in Xi Ling’s plan to rescue her hometown.

His avatar took care of the floating island every day, but his main body was suffering in the prison.

At this moment, in the Heavenly Prison.

Heavy breathing echoed in the darkness.

A pair of blood-red eyes floated in midair, making one shudder.

If not for the ‘sense-of-freedom’ brought by his avatar, Yu Chen would probably have gone.

After surviving in an environment without light for so long, one couldn’t last long before being reduced to a lunatic.

Although Yu Chen’s condition was slightly better than the other prisoners, he was still rather crazy.

After dealing with another wave of monster attacks, Yu Chen’s low laughter sounded. “Hehehe… How many times has it been?”

“If you want me to suffer properly, you have to pay the price.”

Yu Chen knew that these monsters were raised by the Heavenly Prison.

Therefore, while Yu Chen accepted the ‘grace’ of the Heavenly Prison, he also wanted the Heavenly Prison to accept his ‘grace’.

Yu Chen no longer expected to see the thing that he had yearned for to happen.

Loneliness or pain, it didn’t matter.

Be it his spirit or personality, he relied on the spiritual food sent to his main body by his avatar to survive.

Just like this, days passed.

Finally, a year after Yu Chen entered the Heavenly Prison…

Boom ~

In the dark and terrifying Heavenly Prison, an extremely violent spiritual wind blew in all directions.

Yu Chen felt the spiritual power in his body expanding crazily and could not help but laugh out loud.

“Hahaha! Hahahaha -“

“Finally… finally broke through.”

“Third Realm. I’m also a third realm cultivator now.”

“How many punches can Wang Yun take from me now…”

“How many waves of Heavenly Prison monsters can I kill now?”

As he muttered to himself, Yu Chen suddenly rubbed his head with his hands. “Damn it… What am I thinking? Why do I have such arrogant thoughts?”

“No… I don’t want to think about it, but my mind is out of control.”

“What should I do?”

In a year, Yu Chen had experienced too much cruelty in the Heavenly Prison.

The Heavenly Prison was filled with vicious cultivators on the continent. They were heinous, committing murder, arson, robbery, slavery, and rape. There were basically no crimes that they have not committed.

The Heavenly Prison was a gathering place for the scum of the world.

It was also hell on earth.

What happened here had already refreshed Yu Chen’s worldview over and over again.

The current Yu Chen would not feel anything no matter how much he saw.

Here, the world seemed unreal.

All kinds of events that refreshed the bottom line of humanity would happen.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible to maintain the kindness in his heart.

You could only choose to either survive or perish here.

After leveling up, Yu Chen did not hesitate to use his talent points to tap on ‘Calm and Composed’.

(Calm and composed – Medium-grade: It can calm you down and not be disturbed.)

Compared to the low-grade version, the effect of the middle-grade version was ten times better.

Yu Chen stood where he was with lifeless eyes. He took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

His heart began to calm down.

This feeling was as if he had been standing all his life, but now he was suddenly sitting down. It was indescribably comfortable.

Under the enhancement of ‘Calm and composed’, Yu Chen’s eyes regained clarity.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and thought, ‘It’ll take a while before the next wave attacks me. I’ll contact the Blood Demon first.’

Yu Chen began to call out to the Blood Demon in his heart.

‘Hey! Blood Demon, Blood Demon!’

‘I’m already in the third realm. Hurry up and give me a mission. What do I have to do?’

The Blood Demon said, ‘Oh? So soon? I thought you would need ten years.’

‘But … whatever.’

‘Since you’re already in the third realm, your strength has probably risen to an unimaginable level, right?’ Yu Chen said, ‘Well, I didn’t expect the difference between the second realm and the third realm to be so big.’

‘The current me can instantly kill a second realm-version of me.’

‘Conservatively speaking, my strength has inflated over thirty times.’

“Am I now qualified enough to complete your mission?’

Blood Demon said, ‘Very well. The Dark Terror in the Heavenly Prison, which is the cell that you’re currently in.’

‘There’s a silver chain with an upward link there. I need you to leave a mark on that silver chain.’

‘Of course. The most important thing now is to find that silver chain.’

‘According to my deduction, its approximate location is…!

‘Alright, let’s go. Report to me when you find the silver lock.’

Yu Chen said, ‘I found it.’ The Blood Demon said, ‘What?!’

That’s right. As soon as the Blood Demon finished speaking, Yu Chen quickly set off. It didn’t take long for him to find the so-called silver chain.

After losing his vision and perception, Yu Chen’s hearing was trained to be extremely sensitive.

At this moment, Yu Chen was in front of a metal block. He raised one of his hands to touch the cold metal.

As Yu Chen swayed, he heard the faint sound of metal colliding.

If he wasn’t wrong, this was the silver chain the Blood Demon had mentioned.

Blood Demon said, ‘I’m leaving a curse mark in your mind now. I need you to carve a mark with the blood created with the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique on the silver chain. Can you do that?’

Yu Chen agreed decisively. ‘Ah, no problem. Hurry up and don’t waste my time.’

A curse mark appeared in his mind, and Yu Chen’s expression was a little shocked.

Yu Chen’s eyelids twitched as he questioned, ‘Hey! Old man, are you serious?’

The curse mark was extremely complicated.

It was like a scribble, and there were too many strokes. Moreover, there must not be a mistake.

If he wanted to engrave it completely on the silver chain without sight, he first needed to be familiar with the curse seal which would take an extremely long time.

This was because engraving a mark not only required blood, but also incomparably huge mental strength.

Blood Demon said, ‘Don’t you want to get out of here? Think about it. You still have such a long sentence to serve.’

‘Although you can live until then, the you who will be released will definitely be a shell which is neither human nor ghost!’

Yu Chen complained, ‘As I am right now, I’m not even a human anymore.’
