The Purgatory Calamity

"Marrow Cleansing Realm, have I broken through?"

Pang Jian, unclear about his own condition, asked in bewilderment.

Previously, immersed in darkness, he had been violently assaulted by the Filth Alien Power of the Fifth Realm, with all twelve meridians in agony, barely aware of what was happening.

The girl’s comment made him freeze in place.

"Right, if your sinews and bones have been tempered, then naturally you are in the Marrow Cleansing Realm."

The girl’s face was the picture of matter-of-factness as she explained earnestly to Pang Jian, her clear eyes devoid of any impurity, "At the beginning of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, it’s only about toughening the vessels and bones. In the middle stage, you refine the muscles and internal organs, and in the later stage, the blood is tempered."

"But you, you really are... very strange."

Doubt filled her eyes as she stared at Pang Jian, then said, "In the dark depths of the Fifth Realm, after your screams and howls, you advanced to the Marrow Cleansing Realm."

"The initial stage, toughening the vessels and bones..." Pang Jian muttered to himself, then after carefully recalling the experience, he said, "By your description, it seems I really have ascended to the Marrow Cleansing Realm."

With a sudden recollection, the girl lightly covered her mouth in the darkness, as if afraid to cry out in alarm.
