Chapter 2292: Chapter 2290: Return to Purgatory Chapter 2292: Chapter 2290: Return to Purgatory Ethan Smith walked to a quiet spot before stopping.
After a while, the sleazy guy quietly followed him, even changing his appearance.
“Brother, I do have the Mount Suru’s Qi you’re looking for, but not much,”
he said softly.
“Where is it? Take it out and let see,” Ethan Smith shook his head.
His expression was slightly conflicted, as if he were assessing whether it was safe.
“I don’t lack treasures—not for sothing like this. As long as it’s genuine, you can ask for whatever you want in exchange.”
Ethan Smith frowned.
“Fine, I’ll let you take a look.”
Gritting his teeth, he pulled out a silver bottle, which was covered in densely packed runes.
Ethan Smith’s eyes lit up. The bottle itself was made of high-quality material, and he eagerly took it.
As his divine sense probed into the silver bottle, he suddenly felt as though he were imrsed in the Starry Sky, his divine sense plunging into boundless space.
The Sumi Ring in his hand emitted a delighted aura. This had to be the Mount Suru’s Qi without a doubt.
“This is indeed Mount Suru’s Qi, but there’s too little of it. Tell , what do you want for it?”
Ethan Smith asked with a smile.
“I want that spear!”
The sleazy cultivator asked greedily.
“Brother, do you see any words written on my forehead?” Ethan Smith stared at him and asked.
“What words?”
“Do you see the words ‘fool’ written on it?”
Ethan Smith’s face darkened.
The silver long spear was a Peak Saint Artifact. If there had been enough Mount Suru’s Qi, Ethan Smith might have considered trading it. But exchanging a single bottle of Mount Suru’s Qi for such a weapon? That was ridiculous.
“Heh, a deal is all about making the offer and you countering it,”
the sleazy cultivator scratched his head in embarrassnt.
The sleazy cultivator picked out four or five Saint Artifacts, grabbed a bottle of Pill, and then tried to take more.
“That’s enough, that’s enough,”
Ethan Smith reminded him. Although the items were spoils from battles at the Azure Sky Palace and The Nebula Family—things he didn’t mind losing—Ethan Smith wasn’t about to let himself be fleeced.
“Just one more, Brother. These things don’t hold much value for you anyway.”
The sleazy cultivator said ingratiatingly while his trembling hand reached for a piece of soft armor. This item had previously belonged to Luna; its quality stood among the highest Saint Artifacts.
“You can take it, but you must tell the origin of this Mount Suru’s Qi clearly.”
Ethan Smith frowned and said.
“Fine! This stuff was obtained three hundred years ago on the Purgatory third layer. Its owner was a powerful cultivator who died there. The guy was quite famous around here, surrounded and killed by his enemies—it seed to be precisely because of this Mount Suru’s Qi.
“What you’re saying is as good as saying nothing. This doesn’t help determine where the Mount Suru’s Qi actually ca from.”
Ethan Smith reached out to take back the soft armor.
“Wait, Brother, let analyze it for you. Back then, he tead up with Edgeless and a few other fierce cultivators. They even recruited people in Lorncloud City to venture into the Purgatory Ninth Layer.”
The sleazy cultivator wracked his brain for every ounce of analytical skill he had to earn the soft armor.
“Not long after, their team returned heavily injured, and he died on the Purgatory third layer. So there’s a strong possibility the Mount Suru’s Qi ca from the Purgatory Ninth Layer!”
“Alright, that analysis is sowhat reasonable.”
Ethan Smith tossed the soft armor to him.
The sleazy cultivator quickly packed up his items and fled, afraid Ethan Smith might change his mind.
Ethan Smith chuckled. These items were of little use to him now, as he had no plans to establish his own sect. Being able to trade them for Mount Suru’s Qi was a profit in itself.
Back in his room at the Moon Pavilion, Ethan Smith focused his mind and entered the Sumi Ring.
He slowly opened the bottle cap, releasing the energy into the space.
A surge of Spatial Qi rapidly expanded within the Sumi Ring, the Mount Suru’s Qi constantly shifting its form.
It began to form its own small universe, resembling a place with two skies and two grounds.
Suddenly, the Sumi Ring trembled violently.
The rules of the Mount Suru’s Qi slowly assimilated, aligning perfectly with the Sumi space itself. The two realms then began to rge.
“What a wondrous sight. This is the first ti I’ve seen such a phenonon of realms rging.”
Mabel Nebula muttered dumbly.
“So beautiful!”
Sara and Xiao Pang clapped enthusiastically.
At the exact mont the two realms fully fused, the entire space shook intensely, then expanded by hundreds of ters. Ethan Smith imdiately felt the entire Sumi space becoming significantly more stable.
Damn!
Just this tiny bottle of Mount Suru’s Qi expanded space by this much.
“This must be the original space of the Sumi Ring. After absorbing Mount Suru’s Qi, the space is finally starting to recover.”
Elder Baker nodded.
“I thought it was just my imagination earlier that the space was slowly shrinking. Turns out it was because the Mount Suru’s Qi was dissipating.”
“If there were enough Mount Suru’s Qi, I can’t even begin to imagine how vast this space might beco. The creator of this space really must have been a mighty realm cultivator!”
Ethan Smith marveled.
“Ethan Smith, what are your next steps? If the Mount Suru’s Qi truly exists on the Purgatory Ninth Layer, then you mustn’t go there. The Purgatory Ninth Layer is rumored to be an ancient battlefield filled with countless dangers. Entering it recklessly ans almost certain death.”
Elder Baker said, frowning.
“I plan to start with the Purgatory Eighth Layer to see if I can comprehend the Dao of Rules. If I can truly break through to the Fourth Grade Realm! It would an everything to .”
Ethan Smith said, furrowing his brow. Ti was running short for him; if he couldn’t achieve a breakthrough within this galaxy, he would need to find other thods.
“Ethan Smith, can you drop off at the Purgatory third layer? I want to battle Demonic Beasts there to temper myself.”
Mabel Nebula suddenly proposed.
Through recent cultivation, her strength had grown to True Saint Second-level, but her combat abilities remained lacking.
“Alright, if anything happens, break the Jade Slip instantly—I’ll be there right away.”
Ethan Smith said, feeling slightly worried.
“Take this Seal Talisman, which holds my full-powered strike. Take it with you.”
“No need. I can’t hide behind protection forever. Don’t worry, I won’t get into trouble! Besides, I have plenty of Magic Weapons with .”
Mabel Nebula said firmly.
“Alright, but be extra careful.”
Seeing Mabel Nebula’s resolute expression, he could only nod.
“Uh, I’ll join her on the third layer,”
Heath Perez said nervously, a blush creeping onto Mabel Nebula’s face.
“Fine. You both can team up—it’ll give you soone to watch each other’s back.”
Ethan Smith nodded and discreetly handed the Seal Talisman to Heath Perez.
…
On the Bi Luo Continent, Flower Field’s eyes suddenly snapped open, displaying a sharp glint.
“Go to the Purgatory Eighth Layer. My Innate Dayan Divine Art predicts there’s Fate Energy waiting for there.”
“Alright.”
Nang Vub didn’t dare question further, nodding quickly.
“Opportunity lies within crisis, but crises also conceal danger.”
Flower Field said irritably, patting his bald head.
“Master, if there’s so much danger, why don’t we stay away from it? With the Dayan Divine Art, your power will continue to grow anyway.”
Nang Vub asked with a frown.
