Before going to the Purgatory, Fang Chen needed to obtain enough Myriad Poison Pills. Only then would he be able to last long in the Purgatory.
The Myriad Poison Pills he had obtained from completing missions had already been used up by Fang Chen.
On this day, Fang Chen went to the Mission Hall to choose a mission once more.
It seemed the Mission Hall knew that Fang Chen was about to enter the Purgatory, so the requirements for Fang Chen were much lower.
Furthermore, the Realm Master had ordered that as long as Fang Chen could complete a mission, he would receive an extra Myriad Poison Pill.
Fang Chen crazily accepted missions.
Although he was suffering from the blood poison, he didn't give up. He continued to persevere.
His battle prowess had also become increasingly powerful.
In just a month, Fang Chen had completed twenty-five missions and obtained fifty Myriad Poison Pills.
However, Fang Chen still wasn't satisfied. He still needed to complete missions.
Once he had a hundred Myriad Poison Pills, he could go to the Purgatory.
However, on this day, Poison Immortal came to the second Heavenly Layer and found Fang Chen.
"Junior apprentice-brother Fang, I want to make a deal with you." Poison Immortal stated his intentions.
"What does senior apprentice-brother Poison want?" asked Fang Chen.
Fang Chen had a good impression of Poison Immortal. He was also very good to him.
As long as he could do it, he would definitely help.
"Junior apprentice-brother Fang, you should know that I cultivate the Poison Dao. I'm very curious about all the poisons in the world.
Although I can't treat your blood poison, I want to study it. "Poison Immortal smiled.
If he could completely study the blood poison, his name would definitely spread throughout the universe.
At that time, the human race wouldn't have to fear the bloodthirsty race.
"Give me some blood, and I'll give you a hundred Myriad Poison Pills."
Fang Chen was also startled when he heard this. Soon after, he nodded heavily.
This was definitely a good deal for him.
"Many thanks, senior apprentice-brother Poison." Fang Chen cupped his fists in thanks.
He knew that Poison Immortal was only doing this to take care of him.
Poison Immortal waved his hand. "We're just taking what we need."
Crash
Poison Immortal waved his hand and 100 Myriad Poison Pills were handed to Fang Chen.
"These one hundred Myriad Poison Pills should be enough for you to survive in Purgatory for a year. I believe that with your strength, as long as your luck is not too bad, you should be able to collect enough military contributions to return safely," Immortal Venom said with a smile.
Fang Chen nodded, then cut his finger, causing blood to flow out.
Seeing this, Poison Immortal's eyes widened.
He hurriedly took out a small jade bottle and transferred the blood on Fang Chen's finger into it.
"Haha!"
After obtaining Fang Chen's blood, Poison Immortal was very happy. After saying goodbye to Fang Chen, he turned around and left.
As for Fang Chen, he was very excited when he saw the 100 Myriad Poison Pills.
In addition to the fifty Myriad Poison Pills he had obtained previously, he had a total of one hundred and fifty pills.
Just as the Poison Immortal had said, it wouldn't be a problem for him to last for a year.
As for a year later, he would think about it then.
After preparing the Myriad Poison Pill, Fang Chen packed up and prepared to head to Purgatory.
Fang Chen found Senior Martial Brother Wu.
"Senior Martial Brother Wu, I'm ready. I can head to Purgatory now," Fang Chen said.
Senior Martial Brother Wu nodded and said, "When you reach Purgatory, remember to be careful."
Senior Martial Brother Wu reminded Fang Chen, and the latter nodded heavily.
Then, Senior Martial Brother Wu brought Fang Chen to the teleportation formation.
Whoosh!
Gu Chuan came.
"Junior Martial Brother Fang," Gu Chuan called out.
"Senior Martial Brother Gu Chuan."
Seeing Senior Martial Brother Gu Chuan rushing over, Fang Chen felt warmth in his heart.
Ever since he entered Demon Subduing World, Senior Martial Brother Gu Chuan had been very good to him.
And now, he came to send him off.
"Junior Martial Brother Fang, I'm here to send you off."
Gu Chuan smiled and said, "Our Demon Subduing World's teleportation formation can directly send you to the entrance of Purgatory. After passing the test, you can enter Purgatory."
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Martial Brother Gu Chuan."
Under the gaze of Senior Martial Brother Gu Chuan and Senior Martial Brother Wu, Fang Chen entered the teleportation formation.
Whoosh!
With a flash of white light, the teleportation formation opened, and Fang Chen disappeared.
Looking at the direction where Fang Chen disappeared, Gu Chuan and Senior Martial Brother Wu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Fang Chen felt the space around him distorting, as if he had entered an endless darkness.
When he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by darkness.
"It hurts."
Fang Chen felt pain all over his body, as if he had arrived at the depths of the universe.
This feeling lasted for half an hour before it finally disappeared.
In an instant, a white light flashed in front of him.
Fang Chen looked over, the teleportation formation opened, and he walked out of it.
"Is this the entrance to Purgatory?"
Fang Chen said.
He looked around and realized that he was in a city. This city was very lively, with people coming and going everywhere.
"Kid, you're new here." Suddenly, a voice woke Fang Chen up.
"Yes." Fang Chen nodded.
"You want to enter Purgatory?" the person asked.
Fang Chen nodded. That person continued, "The Purgatory isn't a place that ordinary people can enter. Although you might be a heaven's chosen of a certain power in the outside world, if you want to enter the Purgatory, you still have to pass a test.
"Brother, may I ask what the test is?" Fang Chen asked.
The person chuckled and said, "This city is called White Bone City, and the entrance to Purgatory is in White Bone City.
"All the cultivators you see in White Bone City are at the Heavenly Body Tier. Some of them came from the Outer Realms and wanted to enter the Purgatory. Some of them have returned from the Purgatory after fighting there."
"Many cultivators often come out to replenish their military merits before entering."
"Brother, what's the use of military merits?" Fang Chen asked curiously.
"Military merits are very useful. Every cultivator who comes here is here for military merits," the person said slowly. "Military merits can be exchanged for many treasures.
The more military merits, the better the treasures. "
"Exchange for treasures?"
Fang Chen seemed to have heard Senior Brother Gu Chuan mention this before, but he wasn't too sure.
"You're new here, so you naturally don't know."
The man explained, "Everyone has different pursuits. Some martial artists want to be powerful, so they earn military merits to exchange for powerful weapons. There are also some who need rare materials or other things that can be exchanged with military merits."
"Most importantly, if you have enough military merits, you can ask Creation Tier or even Life and Death Tier Monarchs to help you."
"Then can military merits be exchanged for the antidote to the blood poison?" Fang Chen asked hurriedly.
"Of course, but you have to have enough military merits." The person nodded.
Fang Chen was shocked. If military merits could be exchanged for the antidote to the blood poison, then wouldn't the blood poison in his body be cured?
"Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. You'll understand in the future."
The person waved his hand and said, "Go pass the test first."
Fang Chen bade farewell to the person and turned to leave.
This person was clearly a warm-hearted person. As soon as Fang Chen left, he found another newcomer and explained everything about White Bone City.
"Purgatory."
Fang Chen muttered inwardly.
Before long, Fang Chen arrived in front of the city lord's mansion.
"Kid, you want to enter Purgatory?" Someone asked in front of the mansion.
"Yes."
"Good, use all your strength and throw a punch at the stele," said the person in charge.
Fang Chen nodded and walked up to the stele. Using all his strength, he threw a punch at the stele.
In an instant, his fist landed on the stele.
What surprised Fang Chen was that the stele didn't shake.
If it was in the past, Fang Chen's punch would've at least shaken the stele.
"It's so hard," Fang Chen said inwardly.
When he opened his hand, he saw three finger marks on the stele.
"Three finger marks. You barely pass. You can enter Purgatory," said the person in charge loudly after inspecting the stele.
"Many thanks."
Fang Chen cupped his fists.
"Kid, I advise you to consider entering Purgatory. With your strength, you'll be at the bottom of the pyramid. You'll just be throwing your life away," reminded the person in charge.
"I've already made my decision," said Fang Chen.
The person in charge didn't say anything else and threw a badge to Fang Chen.
"Kid, if you wear this badge, you'll be able to sense humans when you meet them. This is also proof of your identity. If you lose this badge, even humans will kill you if they meet you."
Fang Chen picked up the badge and looked at it. This badge was specially made and very hard.
There was a faint aura inside the badge.
As soon as he put on the badge, Fang Chen sensed many familiar auras.
"As expected."
With the badge, he could clearly sense other humans around him.
"Wait a moment," the person in charge said. "Every time the teleportation gate opens, we need to gather 10 people."
The person in charge gave Fang Chen a small booklet. Then, Fang Chen walked to an empty space and sat down cross-legged to read the booklet.
The contents of the booklet were all about White Bone City and Purgatory.
There were two types of people in Purgatory. One was ordinary soldiers, and the other was commanders.
Those who could become commanders were basically elites at the peak of the Heavenly Body Tier.
As for the other cultivators, they were ordinary soldiers.
The badges for the two types were different. A commander's badge was 10,000 times more valuable than an ordinary soldier's badge.
"Forget about the commander's badge," Fang Chen muttered to himself. "I'd better be more conservative and see if I can meet some weak foreign tribes."
Fang Chen casually flipped through the booklet. When he reached a certain page, he was completely stunned.
"Jade Dragon Blood Pill requires 10,000 military merits."
An ordinary soldier's badge was only worth one military merit, while a commander's badge was worth 10,000 military merits.
"This is too difficult, isn't it?"
Fang Chen couldn't help but frown.
Just as Fang Chen was thinking, the person in charge called out, "Those entering Purgatory, come here and line up."
Instantly, more than 30 people lined up in front of the City Lord's residence.
Fang Chen also joined the line.
"You're about to enter the most dangerous and cruel Purgatory in the universe.
In Purgatory, there's only life and death. When facing foreign tribes, you can't be merciful. If you don't kill them, they'll kill you.
"For countless years, thousands of races have always wanted to invade the territory of the human race.
In these years, they've been conserving their strength and continuously sending elites into Purgatory to stop the geniuses of the human race.
