Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Damn...”

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. This Witch God had been playing him all along. In addition to the projection that remained motionless in the beginning, it was also a type of facade.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something. Whatever happened a moment ago was just a test. It was a test for his temperament. If he had acted imperatively like a cat on a hot tin roof, leaping up and down, or thinking of destroying the Witch God’s skeleton to vent out his anger, he would have died by now. It was because he had taken a nap and waited for his death peacefully. Thus, he managed to pass the test.

When the Witch God saw Jiang Yi acting pensively, the corner of his mouth curled up before speaking profoundly, “If a cultivator wishes to reach the apex, it was necessary for him to have exceptional talent. That is the prerequisite! Secondly, from time to time, he must be able to confront death at any moment. A martial artist’s dao is to defy against heaven and change one’s own fate. If one could successfully do so, he would be able to rise above the skies, looking on proudly from the nine firmaments.

“In contrary, failure meant death. For those cultivators who don’t dare to face death would never be able to reach the apex. Of course... there is also an important factor: an ordinary heart! Without a strong temperament and an ordinary heart, even if one made some accomplishment during that point of one’s life, one’s future might not be so. Once an individual lost their true nature and took the wrong step, they would enter an abyss of no return.”

Jiang Yi listened to the speech attentively as he memorized all the Witch God’s words in his heart. A cardinal expert’s teachings could only be discovered but not sought for. It also depended on a person destiny as well.

When the Witch God finished speaking, he turned silent. He waited for Jiang Yi eyes to return to its clarity before continuing, “The amount of remnant soul energy I’m left with is not a lot. At most, I’m able to last for another half a year. Kid, try refining this palace immediately. If you are anxious to get out, you should go and handle your matters first before coming back into the Universal Palace. I will impart you eight different kinds of witchcraft that I have comprehended in my life to you. I would also impart you the restrictions in detail. As for how much you can comprehend... it would depend on your luck.”

Swish!

The Witch God’s mirage gradually faded. The restrictions on the wall had also lit up. A slate before Jiang Yi suddenly moved, revealing a black cavern. A token appeared as it shot over.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Jiang Yi eyes lit up like stars as he stretched his hand out to grab hold of the token. He saw that it was somewhat similar to what Yun Lu had gotten. It’s entire entity being covered in dark red with a big ‘Witch’ word carved on it. An ineffable aura could be felt being released out from the token. Just a look on it, one could tell it was something extraordinary.

“Once you have refined this token, you would be able to control the restrictions, demonic beast, and puppets inside the palace. You would also be able to come in and out of here as you please. Remember, you must return in half a year time. Otherwise, my remaining soul would disappear!”

After transmitting this sentence, there was no longer any sound coming from the Witch God. Jiang Yi bowed to the Witch God skeleton respectfully thrice before sitting down to circulate his essence force, refining the token with his all.

The fiery red essence force revolved around the token. With only a little less than an hour, the token lit up. When that happened, Jiang Yi and the token were spiritually connected to each other.

At that moment, countless scenes within the palace appeared within his mind. He was able to see the wall he had burnt through on the first floor of the palace. He was able to see the bizarre inner space in the second floor, the fishes that were swimming around excitedly around the ocean, as well as a countless amount of sea demons that was concealed by the ocean. He was also able to see the formidable demon king that had his eyes shut, in deep sleep on the fourth floor.

“He Lao!”

The scene flashed by, and he saw He Lao was still fighting with a group of the mutated beast in close combat within the ice plains by the side of the ice sea. He Lao’s whole body was drenched in blood, making him look extremely tragic. One of his legs was even dangling on the air. It was unknown whether the bone was broken or was it already crippled.

Buzz!

After refining the token, it meant that he was in control of all the restrictions in the palace. He activated the token, and the restriction above him immediately brightened up. With that, his body disappeared from his original spot.

...

“Howl-Howl!” “Ku-Ku!””Chi-Chi!”

In the ice plains of the fourth floor. Nearly 100 strange beasts had encircled He Lao as they attacked him in all direction. He Lao’s eyes had become already bloodshot as the aura presence on him became a lot weaker. If it wasn’t because he was forcing himself—risking his life to attack back, he would have long died.

“Hu-Hu!”

A mutated beast spurt out a chilling breath, awakening He Lao. He inclined himself to the side, leaping away. Suddenly, he slashed down with his weapon, releasing another dao pattern attack once again.

Swish! Swish!

Behind his back, a mutated beast’s giant claws drew across the air, clawing at his back. He Lao had to forcefully twist his body and evade to the side. However, on the other side, there was another mutated beast chomping down with its huge head. The razor-sharp fangs were flashing with chilling light as they tried to bite He Lao into shreds.

“Sigh...”

He Lao sighed heavily. His strength could be considered pretty decent and handling a few mutated beasts wouldn’t post a problem to him. However, he had already fought continuously for a full day, gaining multiple injuries. He had already overly consumed his physical stamina and essence force. His reaction speed had already weakened off by a large margin as he could feel his heart was somewhat lacking the energy.

Swish!

The void suddenly trembled in the middle of the air as a white light flashed by. A youth donned in a green robe with long red hair appeared. He Lao’s pupils swept past as his spirit jolted immediately. He yelled, “Young Master Yi!”

“He Lao, you have suffered.”

Jiang Yi smiled gently. The token on his hand sparkled in radiance as he yelled out heavily, “All of you, get lost!”

“Wu-Wu!” “Howl-Howl!”

The huge mutated beast which was about to chomp He Lao to death suddenly came to a stop. After that, it fled in large strides in an obedient manner. All the other mutated beasts stared at Jiang Yi in fear before departing in large strides as well. Along with the tremors from the ground, several hundreds of mutated beasts retreated as they dug back into their respective mountain peaks.

“Uh...”

He Lao’s body fell to the ground and did not dare to glance around his surroundings. He waited till Jiang Yi had descended before speaking in ecstasy, “Young Master Yi, you really didn’t die. What happened just now? Could you have obtained the Witch God’s inheritance?”

“En, I obtained a token. It is able to control all the restrictions within this palace.”

Jiang Yi nodded. He took out a healing elixir from the Fire Spirit Pearl, handing it over to He Lao and said, “He Lao, don’t worry. You should recuperate first. We can easily leave this place anytime.”

“I knew it, I knew it. Young Master Yi is a heavenly prodigy and will undoubtedly be able to create miracles.”

He Lao was excited to the point of being unable to speak coherently as he received the recuperation elixir in shivers. Only after a long time, he calmed down before sitting down cross-legged to recuperate.

“Hu-Hu...”

Jiang Yi heaved out a sigh of relief and sat down, too. To be able to come out alive from the forbidden ground was truly a narrow escape. He and He Lao had long prepared themselves for death. Unexpectedly, they were able to survive to the final moments and even able to successfully made it out. Furthermore, he had obtained the Witch God’s inheritance. This was truly a mountain road filled with twists around each peak, granting a glimmer of hope at one’s darkest hour.

He sat on the ice plains silently as he stared at the snowflakes falling from the sky and smiled foolishly. His heart that was suspended in the midst of the air all this time could finally stable down.

After sitting down for a while, his gaze suddenly shot towards the iced sea. His eyes abruptly brighten up. He held on his token and cried out, “Demon king, come out!”

Bang!

The iced sea trembled as the wave surged. The beast revealed its large head. Its eyes were filled with arrogance and obstinacy as it gazed at Jiang Yi indifferently, “Brat, what are you finding me for? I’m telling you... although you had obtained my master’s inheritance, it doesn’t mean that you can order me around. If you are to offend me, I will slap you to death.”

“Hmph!”

Jiang Yi looked face to face with the demon king without any sign of fear before harrumphing coldly in the next moment. He replied indistinctly, “You want to slap me to death? You can give it a try, and we shall see who dies—it is going to be you or is it going to be me?”
