Chapter 3 (2/2)

Yun Shu sat down with his legs crossed on the cushion. Following the sect’s cultivation method, he started gathering the Spirit Qi from nature.

One, two… Soon, Yun Shu got a thousand and twenty-four portions of Spirit Qi and slowly pushed them into his meridians, just like in the past.

“Don’t sleep…” Yun Shu muttered to himself.

What was different this time, however, was that the Qi didn’t leave his body after Yun Shu fell asleep. Instead, the mark on his palm absorbed it all.

After taking in all the Spirit Qi, the mark in the shape of that stone gate suddenly gave out an intense light. Next, Yun Shu disappeared from the shelter.

When Yun Shu woke up, he realized that he had appeared in the stone gate again. Yet, what came here this time was not only his consciousness but also his body! He was stunned by the realization. Staring at the giant stone gate, for a while, he didn’t know what to do.

Finally, he nerved himself to walk toward the stone gate. It had been ten years already. This time, he must figure out what barred his path of cultivation. Despite all his determination, to his great surprise, he managed to push open the stone gate!

2And right at that instant, a sharp wail entered his ears.

This is…

Yun Shu was taken aback by the sudden scene. Behind the stone gate, the world was entirely different from the outside.

This world was enveloped in a heavy, blood-red mist.

In the mist, from time to time, some sad faces would emerge and then disappear like miserable ghosts.

What the hell is this place?

In front of him, there was a long stairway built with white jade, its bright luster keeping the encroaching blood-red mist at bay. It was also the only area in this place that was free of the mist.

At the end of the stairway, he saw a man lying prone, his arms clasping the last step of the stairs, but the lower part of his body was hanging in the mist.

“Are you okay?!” Yun Shu hurriedly ran to him and pulled the man up. However, his lower body had been corroded by the mist, and only bones were left.

The red mist could erode blood and flesh?! Yun Shu was appalled.

However, something even more shocking instantly ensued.

After Yun Shu flipped the body over, what he saw made his blood freeze with terror.

“This is… How is this Possible?!”
