Chapter 256
Heavenly Realm
We heard stories about the two great sword masters of Dongyoung, Kamizumi Nobutsuna and Tsukahara Boku Ten. They seemed to have come to the Aokigahara Sea of Suffering to engage in battle against formidable foes as part of their martial prowess training.
Then Nobutsuna explained to Dokgo Seong,
“The Aokigahara Sea of Suffering is divided into four regions.”
I translated this for Dokgo Seong.
“What does that mean?”
“It was written in the journal left by that person you refer to as Cheongwol. He mentioned that he encountered the being who oversees the Sea of Suffering and learned about its sectors during that meeting.”
Nobutsuna walked outside the building and pointed towards the dense forest.
“We are currently at the entrance, called the Living Sea. If we go about ten li further in, we reach the Second Sea, known as the Dead Sea. Beyond the Dead Sea lies the Third Sea, called the Entering Sea, and after crossing that, we would reach the Annihilating Sea… which is the final area of the Sea of Suffering.”
