Chapter 141 – Sword Emperor! (1/2)

Overwhelming pain!

This was what Yang Ye felt at this moment. He really wanted to leap out from within the bath barrel, but when he thought about his mother that was suffering within the Flower Palace, he’d forcefully suppressed this tempting thought of his.

In next to no time, Yang Ye’s skin fell off piece by piece. Yes, he was like a snake shedding its skin, and piece after piece fell off without end. Such a scene was extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, at the same time that he experienced overwhelming pain, the green water came into effect, and traces of energy ceaselessly entered Yang Ye’s body before swiftly repairing his body that was being burnt apart by the Nether Ghostflames. It was exactly because of these traces of energy that Yang Ye’s body wasn’t burnt into ash by the Nether Ghostflames. But this caused Yang Ye to suffer.

After all, the feeling of being burnt by the Nether Ghostflames was horrible!

Two hours slowly pa.s.sed by.

Yang Ye’s face had already completely warped. It hadn’t warped from being burnt, and it was something that had been caused by the pain he experienced. However, even though he was in such pain, Yang Ye didn’t make a single sound from the beginning until the end.

Yang Ye’s display caused Elder Mu to nod to himself. He originally merely had a slight interest in Yang Ye, and it was far from being admiration. After all, no matter how good Yang Ye’s natural talent was, he still didn’t attach importance to it. However, after he lived together with Yang Ye for these few days, Yang Ye’s display had caused him to arouse the intention to take Yang Ye as his disciple.

But Yang Ye cultivated in the sword, and this caused him to feel slightly helpless. Because the path of the Sword Dao was extremely unfamiliar to him.

As he gazed at Yang Ye who persisted within the bath barrel, Elder Mu sighed in a low voice before he walked into the cottage.

Time pa.s.sed slowly until almost six hours had pa.s.sed since Yang Ye had entered the bath barrel. These six hours of time could be said to be the most physical pain Yang Ye had experienced in his entire life. Because his body was being ceaselessly harmed before it was repaired without end, and he was ‘enjoying’ this process over and over again.

Presently, the only reason he was able to persist until now was entirely because of a single conviction he had, and it was the conviction to possess a formidable strength!

When dawn arrived on the next day, the sun gradually ascended into the horizon while strands of the first rays of the morning sun descended. They descended onto the body of Yang Ye who was within the bath barrel, and it was like they’d placed a thin golden veil around Yang Ye.

Crack!

The door the cottage opened slowly before Elder Mu walked out with his walking stick in hand, and he arrived in front of Yang Ye. He nodded lightly when he saw that the water within the barrel had turned completely black, and then he said, “The spirit herbs within the water have been completely absorbed by you, so come out from there. If you continue staying in there, then your body will really be burned into ash while it’s without the a.s.sistance of the spirit herbs to repair it!”

When he heard Elder Mu, Yang Ye suddenly opened his eyes, and then he leaped out of the bath barrel. After that, Yang Ye instantly lay on the ground and gasped for breath while allowing the sunlight to descend onto his body.

Even though he’d left the bath barrel, he still felt burning pain throughout his pain, and it was just not as strong as it was moments ago!

The Elder Man gestured lightly with his hand. The white flames within the bath barrel seemed as if it was alive, and it flew swiftly out of the barrel and into the old man’s palm. The old man put the Nether Ghostflames away, and then he looked at Yang Ye and said, “From now on, you’ll head to the waterfall to endure the impact of the water during the day, and then you’ll continue residing within the bath barrel in the night. This will continue until your body undergoes a complete transformation!”

“I have to continue doing this every night from now on?” Yang Ye suddenly sat up straight, and he cried out involuntarily as he looked at the old man.

“Of course!” Elder Mu nodded and said indifferently, “Did you think that a single time would be sufficient to improve your body? If it was so easily improved, then the profession of body refiner wouldn’t be on the verge of extinction!”

“Body refiner?” Yang Ye’s interests were aroused, and he said, “Profounders that specialize in cultivating the body?”
