The Sky Poison Pearl
New Moon City
New Moon City; located in the middle eastern region of the Blue Wind Empire on a scale over ten times larger than the city of Floating Clouds. Small sects and clans were established throughout the city like trees in a forest. The Blue Wind Imperial Family had also established a Government here, and even the Xiao Sect and Heaven Burning Clan had branch sects at this location. Thus, countless young practitioners rushed in from all directions in hopes of the lucky possibility that they could join the main sect, all the while chasing the path to heights.
On this day, from the east side of the New Moon City gate, a young man dressed in black slowly walked over. He looked only sixteen or seventeen years old and there was still some immaturity left on his face; however, his gaze was weighty and deep, and deep, and have a strong determination and indifference that is not in accordance with his age. His progressive steps were extremely slow, and each step left a shallow trail to the solid ground along with a shocking stream of sweat.
The distance between Forest Town and New Moon City was a total of three hundred and fifty kilometers, and Yun Che had been walking for over a month. Not because he didn't want to come faster, but because he couldn't walk any faster.
On the day he was about to depart from Forest Town to New Moon city, Jasmine asked him to find a heavy object that was over two hundred kilograms…. But Yun Che was even more brutal to himself; he spent all his remaining yellow coins and instantly bought a rough piece of iron that weighed three hundred and thirty kilograms from the iron shop in Forest City. After which, Yun Che prepared a ration and left the Forest City. He did not buy a horse, but traveled on foot, with a lump of coarse iron weighing three hundred and thirty kilos strapped to his back.
The terrifying determination of Yun Che made Jasmine dumbfounded again. It was because throughout the entire journey, Yun Che had never placed the rough Iron on his back even once; even if he was completely exhausted and his back was bleeding, his expression did not reveal the slightest bit of bitterness, nor did it make any painful sounds of suffering. Instead, he remained unrivalled.
Three hundred and fifty kilometers. From the difficult initial step to the gradual adaptation later in life, after the process of exhausting and recovering repeatedly, for thousands of times, the, yun Che's spiritual energy in his veins became thicker and richer…. So much so that there are indications of another possible breakthrough half a month ago. However, Yun Che forcefully suppressed the breakthrough of his strength. Since the previous increase in strength was too ferocious, he needed to stabilize his spiritual energy adequately, while also allowing his body to fully adapt and control his strength.
On this day, the city gate of New Moon City finally appeared before him.
“Finally arrived.” As Yun Che walked forward, the corner of his mouth formed a smile.
“Right now you can undoubtedly achieve a perfect victory against any Beast of the same level. But in the end, the Beast only had low intelligence and had a very unique and boring attack pattern. If you want to be a legitimately strong practitioner, you should fight more with people…. In that case, let's start with this New Moon City.” Jasmine said, as if she was an experienced old man
“Now, put the rough iron on your body. Your current body should be completely used to the enormous growth spurt of spiritual power….. No, even if it has soared a few more levels, your body should still be able to withstand it.”
Yun Che released the rough iron and dropped it down, causing a deep dent to the ground surface. At that moment, Yun Che felt his body so light that it was as if there was nothing. He slightly channeled his energy, and kicked under his feet; from this jump, he actually jumped straight over sixteen meters! After landing firmly on the ground, he swung his right hand; a red-colored flame flashed ferociously from his right hand, then quickly extinguished, re-ignited, and extinguished again…. he controlled it freely as he pleased without any resistance.
“I'll tell you the good news. With your current body, you are barely able to withstand the first stage of the seven gates of the Heretical God! That is, you can now try to open the first gate when you meet an opponent that you cannot defeat!”
"I can open the first gate?" Yun Che's face was full of astonishment.
Just barely. As a last resort, you can try to open it. With your current strength and physique, it should not pose a great danger to your life. However, I'm not sure if this will cause permanent damage or not. Before reaching the seventh level of the Nascent Realm, it is best not to carelessly use it.” Jasmine spoke with full warning.
Yun Che originally wanted to try to feel the sensation of opening the first gate, and at the same time, wanted to see how powerful the skill was if the first gate opened. But after listening to Jasmine's words, he could only obediently and get rid of the thought. If by any chance his body could not bear and was permanently injured, it would definitely be a huge loss.
As he walked closer to the New Moon city, a thick and majestic city wall appeared in front of Yun Che with a wave of extremely oppressive might. Endless people went back and forth under the towering city gates, displaying a hustle and bustle that almost never happened in the Floating Cloud city
