Chapter 287 - 7: Yue Jinghua’s Ambition
Yue Jinghua’s fervent desire to go to Dark Hell shocked Ye Zi.
"You want to go to Dark Hell? That place is inhabited entirely by Dark Magic Beasts. Have you forgotten the lesson of Fa Xiaoyi? By now, he is probably trapped in the boundless Dark Hell, devoured and gnawed upon by demons," Ye Zi had heard from the great priests of Senming Sea about Dark Hell, where, it is said, the sky has but a single black sun.
Ye Zi had witnessed the near-insane look on Fa Xiaoyi’s face after he was engulfed and devoured by the Evil Qi following his failure.
The demons there subsist on devouring rotten corpses and breathing in turbid poisonous gases; there is no joy, only boundless suffering and agony.
"You don’t need to know so much. Just tell me if you can use Earth Yin Escape again to connect Dark Hell and Canglong Continent," Yue Jinghua pleaded after being taught the Dark Power by Qing Pu, realizing that Dark Summoning Magic wasn’t much different from ordinary Summoning Techniques.
To the Ancient Summoners, there was no clear distinction between Spiritual Energy and Evil Qi in the world, and Qing Pu turned out to be unexpectedly proficient in Dark Summoning Magic.
Both Dark Summoning Magic and Summoning Techniques can contract Summoned Beasts, but Dark Summoning Magic can only summon Dark Magic Beasts.
After advancing the Snake-haired Gorgon, Yue Jinghua realized that the cultivation of Dark Magic Beasts is faster than ordinary Dark Beasts. Since Fa Xiaoyi could summon a Dark Demon Beast even as a child, she must also be able to summon even more powerful Dark Beasts.
But to achieve this, there is a prerequisite: she must be in Dark Hell, and Earth Yin Escape is the only weapon she has any chance of using to enter Dark Hell.
In the past, Ye Zi could traverse planes using Earth Yin Escape, moving from Senming Realm to Canglong Continent—which meant she must also have a way to help Yue Jinghua enter Dark Hell.
