I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf. The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough! Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit. “Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!
The cataclysmic storm in the Celestial Burial Valley lasted for 49 days.
It was like a perfect cycle of reincarnation.
This wasn't an auspicious number, but it still demonstrated perfection, and it demonstrated that the Worldly Furnace's work was completed.
During these 49 days, the murky wind blew mercilessly before it turned into a black mist.
The black mist was full of all kinds of noises that reverberated throughout many lands. These noises resembled ghosts' wails and gods' roars. It seemed as if innumerable departed spirits were wailing, bellowing, and shouting.
Even the departed spirits within the Worldly Furnace couldn't escape from the sacrifice.
On the 42nd day, all the noise disappeared, and the Celestial Burial Valley was engulfed by black seawater. It seemed like a Sea of Death. It was ice-cold and filled with an aura of death!
Only on the 49th day did the Celestial Burial Valley recover its calm.
