Under the protection of the shield from the bead, Lu Li followed Leng Wuxin up the mountain with ease. The view changed again as they emerged from the clouds. They were faced with a vast ocean.

It is the Prison of Water!

Lu Li rolled his eyes and checked the surroundings. He asked Leng Wuxin,
Is the next level the Prison of Gold? What is the sixth level called?


Yes!

Leng Wuxin turned back and threw Lu Li a glance. She didn’t mean to hide anything from him so she went on,
Fire, wood, earth, water, gold, ice, wind, darkness, soul and thunder. These are the 10 prisons of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. If you can enter the 10th level and you can ascend the road to the skies, you will be able to break the void and ascend to heaven and become immortal. Are you intrigued? Do you want to have a try yourself?



Have a try?
Lu Li touched his nose in embarrassment. Leng Wuxin had already stated that each level of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos was more horrifying than the previous one. He couldn’t survive the third level. How could he try his luck at the 10th level? What was that different from getting tired of living?
Fire, wood, earth, water, gold, ice, wind, darkness, soul, and thunder!
Lu Li memorized it. The first five were named after the five elements, which was easy to remember. The implications of Prison of Ice, Prison of Wind and Prison of Thunder were fairly clear as well. But what were Prisons of Darkness and Soul? Was it always pitch dark in the Prison of Darkness? Were there Beasts of Primordial Chaos that understood soul attacks in the Prison of Soul?
Prison of Thunder!
The highest level of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. Weather through the hardships of the Prison of Thunder meant he could ascend to the heavens and become an immortal? Lu Li was certainly yearning for that. Wasn’t the ultimate goal of warriors to break the void and become immortals like the Emperor of Heaven Reverse?

How terrible will it be in the Prison of Thunder? Are raging thunderbolts rampant in there? Will there be some beasts nurtured by thunders?

While Lu Li was still absorbed in his thoughts, Leng Wuxin had took out her lotus again. She hopped on, looked back at Lu Li and said,
Are you coming on not?

Lu Li hopped on in a hurry and nodded,
Yes!

They were at the fourth level of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, the Prison of Water. Lu Li had already seen the terror of the third level. As for that of the fourth level, it was beyond Lu Li’s imagination!


The lotus petals closed. Amid a clear, it dashed into the distance. The lotus picked up its speed constantly. In the time for more than a dozen breaths, the lotus was already travelling at a speed comparable to an Earth Immortal Realm warrior. This must be the lotus’ speed limit. Lu Li could tell that Leng Wuxin was desperate to go back.
The days that followed were filled with silence once again. Leng Wuxin had been sitting with her legs crossed to cultivate. Lu Li was only 10 feet behind her and he could kill her with a lift of his hand. That being said, he didn’t dare to move. He was not so hot headed that he would seek his own death.
He was completely certain that any flashing idea of murder on his mind would be detected by Leng Wuxin before he could resort to any concrete actions. Given how many treasures she had, Lu Li was not sure that he could kill her instantly.
The lady was cold-blooded. Her hands were drenched in blood. For her, Lu Li was just a country bumpkin from some insignificant world.
If Lu Li had been in her place, would he show mercy to a country bumpkin? When the country bumpkin showed intention to murder him, Lu Li would have ended that person’s life in an instant.
Therefore, Lu Li didn’t have the courage to take any actions!
His life was precious. He was not living it merely for himself, but for Lu Ling, Bai Qiuxue, Jiang Qiling and Lu Feixue. He must live for the sake of Ming Yu, God of Meng, Meng Zhi, Ye Cha, Bai Family, Zi Family and Yu Family. He must strive on for the many others that were connected to him.
When the 10 years’ time was up, the four forces would come bearing down. Clouds Plains, Northern Desert, Serenity Plains and the Deserted World would be covered by bodies and drenched in blood. Hence, Lu Li must find a way to live, to become strong and to…go back before the deadline came!

Go back. I must go back home. No matter how hard it is, how exhausting, I must live. I will go home. Go home!

Lu Li shouted to himself. He forced the messy thoughts out of his mind and started to cultivate wholeheartedly. He was on the verge of reaching the Noble Lord Realm. Since he had enough Mystical Materials, all he needed was a bit more effort.


As Lu Li started cultivation, Leng Wuxin opened her eyes. She gave Lu Li a casual glance. A faint smile climbed up her face as she resumed cultivation as well.
…
All that was in the Prison of Water was sea. There was no land nor island. Boundless sea was the only thing in sight. It was blue and bottomless. Something might be hiding under the surface.
Again, 10 days and nights passed when the huge lotus came to a stop at a mountain. Only this time, Leng Wuxin didn’t rush her way up. She cleared her throat to wake up Lu Li.

Are we here? Okay, let’s go!

Lu Li opened his eyes and saw the mountain. He was about to disembark but noticed Leng Wuxin didn’t open the petals. She looked into his eyes and asked seriously,
Country bumpkin, what is your name?


Country bumpkin?

Lu Li rolled his eyes and said,
Young Lady Leng, I think we are about the same age. No…I think I am older than you. I am 18 and a half now. Also…I am not a country bumpkin. I am Lu Li.


Ha, ha~

Leng Wuxin smiled but didn’t argue with him. She blinked and asked again,
Do you want to go back alive?




Of course!
Lu Li replied,
Who would choose drifting from place to place over happiness and peace?


That is poetic!

Leng Wuxin thought of his words and nodded in agreement. She then looked at him sincerely and said,
I said that I had three tasks for you. Now, I change my mind—you only have to do one thing for me. Afterwards, not only will I escort you back in person, I will give you many treasures and I will give you one of my Quasi Relics.

Leng Wuxin’s words went in Lu Li’s one ear and out the other. She looked very much alike a con man tricking her victims…
That being said, there was no other alternative for Lu Li. He had to ask,
Tell me what it is.


To kill a man!

Leng Wuxin’s tone turned cold. A murderous intent spread out as she explained,
That man is 16 years old and very talented, a rare genius. He is at the initial stage of the Human Sovereign Realm but he is capable enough to best warriors of the same realm. If you can kill him, I will deliver my promises, I swear.

Swear or not, Lu Li didn’t care. He pouted, sighed and said,
Young Lady Leng, I think you might just as well kill me now. He is 16? He is at the initial stage of the Human Sovereign Realm? He can best the other warriors of that realm! The person you want to kill must be from a super family, right? He has ninth rank Bloodline, just like you and he is equipped with Quasi Relic? Do you think I have a chance to be within 30 miles around him?

This was mission impossible!
As a disciple from a super family, he must be protected by Earth Immortal Realm warriors at all times. Even if he was not, he would be protected by all the Quasi Relic he had on him.



Yes!

Leng Wuxin didn’t conceal any information. She spoke without cover,
He is a disciple from a super family and he is actually a prince. He has ninth rank Bloodline and more than one Quasi Relic. In the imperial families, he is a talent rarely seen in tens of thousands of years. Without any mishap, he will reach the Earth Immortal Realm and become the future Family Patriarch!


Imperial family? Many Quasi Relics? Future Family Patriarch?

Lu Li felt speechless. He touched his nose awkwardly and said,
Young Lady Leng, don’t mess with me, okay? If you want me to kill a Noble Lord Realm warrior, I am confident that I can do. But I cannot kill this person. Why don’t you do it yourself if you are so talented?


I cannot!

Leng Wuxin shook her head calmly and said,
What do I need you for if I can take care of it myself? If I kill him, my mother and I will be killed by my father, the king. There will be no escape.


The king?

Lu Li was surprised by the idea just appeared on his mind. He asked with alarm,
The person you want me to kill, is he your…brother?

Leng Wuxin put on a mocking smile. To Lu Li’s shock, she nodded and said,
Yes, my younger brother, my younger half-brother.
