Chapter 385

385 PRACTICING IN THE HELL-PLANE

Li Meng returned to his house and began preparing for the process of using Hell-forge sutra to connect with hell.

“How difficult is the whole process?” Li Meng asked the Keeper.

“The whole formation is extremely easy to configure. You have done it before. We just need to add some more sub-formation to make it more stable. I need to remind you that the burden of practicing in a hell-plane is not small. Fortunately, you have managed to acquire the Extreme-Yin body. Even though it is just a novel type with a lot of potentials to grow, you possess one of the strongest possible bodies within hell.”

“I would like for you to remain cautious within the plane. Extreme Yin is quite lucrative for any cultivator in there and they will try to hunt you. You need to practice while hiding your location.”

“Can’t I just kill them?” Li Meng asked.

“Well, you can if they are within the power limit. What if someone of peak Qi Emperor level, or Qi Monarch rushes in? The artifact is still absorbing the Extreme Yin tree and the altar. I could provide you with quite a bit of protection if I had assimilated both of them completely. But it is going to take so much time, that even the Royal Road might end within that period.”

“hence, the limit until which you can protect is a level 1 Qi monarch. Anything beyond that will kill you.” The Keeper said.

“I guess, I need to send multiple avatars in there. If we are to return within 2 months, I will have to cultivate at the highest speed possible.”

“How many avatars are you thinking about?” The Keeper asked.

.....

“Send in three. The rest will be practicing the World-Energy scripture and try their best to reach the 1st level before the Royal Road.” Li Meng said.

“Fine.” The Keeper began the preparation. Li Meng and his avatars indulged within their training.

In the training hall-

“Why didn’t you tell him the truth?” The Training-hall master asked.

“What truth would that be?” the Keeper asked.

“The truth about the current grade of the Crimson-lord artifact. It has already reached the level of a dominator artifact and given the speed of assimilation, you will completely devour the remaining energy of the Extreme-yin tree by the time the Royal road becomes. A safe assumption is that the artifact would have recovered to the Half-saint level by then.” The Training-hall master said.

“He doesn’t need to know. Did you forget the promise we made to that man? We can’t directly help him. The benefits he is receiving from the artifact are already too much. We were instructed to let him grow at his own pace and live his own life. He didn’t want us to interfere and manipulate his path. What do you think will happen when he knows about the current level of the artifact? Do you think he will continue to work and train like he is now?” The Keeper asked.

“The promise was made to the last master. Our current master is that boy, and we have pledged loyalty to him. I hope you understand the consequences of your actions.”

“I do understand the consequences. I will take the burden of his rage when he finds out in the future, but you are not to divulge it. The only ones who are allowed to divulge are the artifact itself and me. Another reason is the phenomena that will occur once I use my full power in this world. Did you forget that even artifacts have to go through tribulations if they want to raise their levels? Monarch level was fine, but since the artifact has already reached the Dominator level, the tribulation will arrive as soon as we use its power.”

“Do you think he would be able to face it with his current strength?” The Keeper asked.

“No. How strong would he have to be if he wants to face the tribulations?” The training-hall master asked.

“He would need to be an advanced Qi Emperor at the very least. It would be better if he could become a Qi Monarch. If it were any other normal cultivator, they would require a Qi Dominator level cultivation base to assimilate the tribulation. He, on the other hand, should be able to do it within the Qi Emperor level.”

“Fine. I hope you will not follow your non-interference rule when the boy is attacked.” The training-hall master said.

“Of course not. The current state of the artifact is due to the young master’s achievements. He owns the artifact and it would be happy to perform its duties. But strength is something he would have to earn on his own.”

........

Hours later-

The connective formation to hell was ready and Li Meng could jump in at any moment. Li Meng and two other avatars prepared themselves, before rushing into the formation. The Keeper activated it with the help of the spelling mentioned with the sutra itself. As expected, the formation managed to open up a direct passageway into hell.

When Li Meng experienced the energy, he could feel how powerful it was.

“This somehow feels different from the hell energy we have experienced in the world-border.”

” Do you remember the talk between the Extreme-yin tree, the altar, and the evil soul? There are various words in this universe. Your Qi continent is one of the worlds, and there are many worlds beyond it. Naturally, the world differs from each other in terms of strength and quality of energy. You could say that the hell world that bordered with your world was kind of a lower-grade hell.”

“The one you have come into on the other hand is higher-graded. I can’t exactly access all my knowledge and hence couldn’t tell you which hell we are in, but we will know for sure in future.” The Keeper said.

Leon’s body was automatically absorbing the power within hell and the hell-forge sutra was working on its own.

“Since we have two months here, it wouldn’t hurt to start from the beginning. I will start by performing hell-forging sutra and Bone-reforging first. It has been a long time since my avatars have done it. We will also switch avatars one by one as they are done performing hell-forge art within here. We will then move on to the weapon tempering art and reforge the life weapons with the power of this hell.”

“After the two processes are complete, I will start the establishment process of the hell-laws.”

“What should I do then?” The Keeper asked. He thought Li Meng would be asking for his help.

“You just concentrate on absorbing and assimilating the energy within this plane and search for some natural resources if possible. The main body is busy training and perfecting the Dominator art. He doesn’t need to come here. We will prepare an adequate platform for him and he would also be the last one to establish law and become a Qi King.”

“As you wish.” They came out of Li Meng’s body and buried themselves within the hell-plane. It began to absorb the energy and scan the area around it. Li Meng, on the other hand, found a small cave that was covert and hidden from plain sight and began the painful process of reforging his bones with the hell-forge sutra.
