Hell

Zhu Mountain

An old man was in a panicked state, he seemed to be looking for someone.

"LONG! LONG! Where did he disappear to? How could he have just vanished into thin air?" The old man said with a scared expression. He was in fact Saint Yong, Zhu Long's Grandfather.

When Zhu Long fainted, Saint Yong rushed to catch him but suddenly he realized that Zhu Long wasn't in his arms but instead he had vanished into thin air. Frightened by that, Saint Yong searched all over the Mountain, but couldn't find him.

As he was panicking, Saint Yong felt strange and his head started aching but suddenly his face was filled with relief ."I understand but who exactly are you and why are you helping Long?" He asked respectfully. As soon as he asked his question, Saint Yong got his answer but after receiving it, he gave a disappointed smile.' It must be a secret, but at least he is safe from them and that is all I need. Since I have nothing else to do, I may as well cultivate.' Saint Yong thought as he went into his cave and started cultivating.

"Okay now that's dealt with, We may begin our Training. Are you ready?" Evil Old Yang asked with a devious smile on his face.

'What's dealt with? But even if I ask, I have a feeling that he won't tell me.' Zhu Long was bewildered by Evil Old Yang's word but got used to it since half of the things Evil Old Yang had said were mysterious. He came with the conclusion that he will get even more powerful to get the right to learn the things Evil Old Yang mentioned.

"Wait, What benefit would I get if my body is in the real world and it's just my soul in the Spiritual World?" Zhu Long asked in a confused manner.

"I don't feel like repeating the same thing over and over again but this time, i will answer your question since this is important. Your physical body can enter the spiritual world but you need to reach a higher cultivation level." Evil Old Yang explained slowly.

"Also don't worry, I explained everything to your grandfather. Now, kid lets begin training!" Evil Old Yang knew what Zhu Long was about to say.

"Umm , Okay. What training will we start with?" Zhu Long tried to comprehend what Evil Old Yang Had said but he left the matter and asked about the training regime.

Hearing Zhu Longs question, Evil Old Yang gave a sinister smile and said"I was wondering when you would ask that. As I said before, this place in your spiritual world is a recreation of Hell but it still follows the laws of hell. Currently, your body is being protected by the Crimson Armour but when you take the Armour off, your body will get hit with demon qi. Before you train with demon qi, I have to ask you a question that one must find an answer to for further cultivation. So kid, tell me What is qi?"

Zhu Long was surprised with everything that Evil Old Yang had said. He never knew that hell's atmosphere was filled with demon qi and even more, everyone who goes there had to deal with it but more so his mind was blown when started to think what qi was. It was extremely simple but also an overwhelmingly complex thing.

"Hehe, now do you realize how complex and how far cultivation is? I can assure you that even your grandfather, a Supreme stage cultivator cannot answer that question. If he could, he would reach the God stage. So you don't have to wreck your brain to find the answer now, but remember even if your body can't cultivate, you need to comprehend the meaning of qi. The rest, your will find out later!" Evil Old Yang said earnestly.

"Okay... but I have a question, if I can't absorb qi, how can I reach higher cultivation bases?" Zhu Long inquired Evil Old Yang being unclear on how he could cultivate without the ability to absorb qi.

Even if Evil Old Yang had a sinister and evil aura around him, he explained everything to Zhu long in a way that Zhu Long could understand. Thus, Evil Old Yang had already earned the complete respect of Zhu Long.

"That is difficult to explain the way you are now but I can say this, You can condense qi but you also cannot condense qi. It may not make sense now, but when you reach a higher cultivation base, you will comprehend those words." Old Yang Explained in the most simple way he could but he could see confusion on Zhu Longs face clearly so he changed the topic and said" For now, lets begin the actual Training. Your body cannot handle the demon qi completely so just take off a part of your Armour, preferably your Gauntlet."

'It's creepy when he just calmly answers the question that I have in my mind without me even saying anything.' Zhu Long was creeped out when Evil Old Yang responded to his questions without him needing to say it by now, Zhu Long just shrugged it off being used to all this.

Zhu Long nodded and tried to pull off his gauntlet but no matter how many times he tired, ho couldn't take them off."Hahahah, I haven't laughed this hard In a long time. You cannot take the Armour off like that, you have to imagine the Armour's gauntlet disappearing. When you do that, it will not be taken off and turn into a storage ring when your Armour will be stored. That can be done with your whole Armour." Evil Old Yang explained to Zhu Long holding in his laughter. In His eyes, Zhu Long looked like a monkey.

"I understand!" Zhu Long was angry seeing Evil Old Yang's face turn red from laughing. He imagined the Armour's gauntlet to disappear and in instant the gauntlets disappeared. When they disappeared, a red ring with a blade on top of it appeared on his finger.

Suddenly, Zhu Long's Face turned pale, He vomited blood and was out of breath. His Body felt heavy, like an entire mountain was on his shoulders.
