The Purgatory Calamity

Chapter 532: Chapter 506 Pure Land Messenger_1

The arrival of the messenger from Pure Land meant that the existence of the Panshi Fragment Land was no longer a secret to the major sects of the First Realm.

Li Chu, and Yue Fengxian of the Desolated Terrains, evidently hadn’t kept their lips sealed about this fragment of land.

"Refuse her, or let her in?"

The inquiry from Yao Junhong came through the Sword Command.

Seeing the woman through the vision of the fragment land, the one who had obstructed his and his sister’s frequent meetings, Pang Jian initially felt somewhat displeased.

Yet, upon considering Pure Land’s meticulous care for his sister, he still said, "Let her in."

"Alright, I’ll go greet her."

Yao Junhong ascended into the sky.

"Since this fragment land is no longer a secret, you can lead her around, give her a tour. If she’s interested in visiting the three Blessed Land Cave Heavens, allow her to peruse at will," Pang Jian added.

Yao Junhong, who was heading outwardly, raised his eyebrows while holding the Sword Command and transmitted a message, "Pang Jian, what’s your relationship with her, where did you meet?"

"Strangers," Pang Jian stated.

Yao Junhong sneered, "Strangers, yet you’re so concerned about her? What’s the matter, have you taken a fancy to this lass? Her name is Wu Sujin; she’s the most outstanding disciple of Su Wenrou. Pure Land’s Su Wenrou, has your Shifu mentioned her to you? A True God of our Human Race, ranked within the top three if we’re talking combat strength alone."

Pure Land’s Su Wenrou, an elder True God, known as "Medicine and Poison Dual Extremes".

She’s an extraordinary figure akin to those of legend and myth.

"Really, we’re strangers. I just have a good impression of Pure Land. Besides, I know our Sword Tower has very good relationships with two sects on the Xi Rang Continent," Pang Jian replied vaguely.

"Ha ha, you’re becoming more and more like your Shifu," Yao Junhong chuckled and said, "Both from the Xi Rang Continent, one from Heaven Treasure Li Family’s Li Yuqing, another from Pure Land’s Wu Sujin. Pang Jian, you surely understand the saying ’don’t bite off more than you can chew,’ right?"

Pang Jian was silent.

...

"The Panshi Fragment Land."

Wu Sujin, floating above the clouds, looked at Yao Junhong who had appeared, her beautiful eyes shining with curiosity.

She had thought that she would be welcomed by Pang Lin’s brother.

Unlike the visitors from the Desolated Terrains, Li Chu and Yue Fengxian, she didn’t activate her Divine Sense to peer inwardly, choosing instead to wait quietly and properly.

This was because Pure Land had always held a revered regard for Sword Tower.

The reverence came from the ancient True God of Pure Land—Su Wenrou.

Su Wenrou, who possessed infinite lifespan, had lived through the era when the five Great Sword Gods walked the earth, and she knew better than anyone the eminent contributions those Sword Gods had made to the Purgatory Human Tribe.

She also knew well the immense power wielded by the Sword Gods birthed by Sword Tower.

Even now, with Sword Tower having receded to the Second Realm and yet to see a New Sword God emerge, she never underestimated Sword Tower.

Her stance directly influenced everyone from Pure Land, her Direct Disciples included.

Just as Yao Junhong had shown his face and before he could speak, Wu Sujin took the initiative to ask, "Senior Yao, may I inquire... is Pang Jian down below?"

The breeze that tousled her hair revealed her fair and beautiful face, quietly smoothing her disorderly locks, and even Yao Junhong couldn’t help but praise inwardly, "The lad’s taste is indeed exquisite!"

"Do you two happen to know each other?" Yao Junhong asked with a smile.

"We don’t," Wu Sujin shook her head.

Yao Junhong’s smiling face turned serious as he replied, "Then he’s not here."

Wu Sujin was taken aback, then after a moment’s thought, she said, "Well, we might... be acquainted after all."

Yao Junhong, intentionally teasing her, grinned and laughed heartily, "Let’s go. I’ll lead you into the Panshi Fragment Land, take you around for a visit. Our Sword Tower has always had good relations with your Pure Land; where others are not allowed to easily set foot, it’s naturally different for you folks."

"Senior, don’t misunderstand, Pang Jian and I..." Wu Sujin hastily tried to explain.

"Ha ha, no misunderstanding, don’t be nervous!"

Amidst laughter, the two descended onto the Panshi Fragment Land.

As they crossed over the solemn cold fog, Wu Sujin gracefully came to a stop in midair.

Gazing downward, she observed the three vast areas of the Panshi Fragment Land, Forbidden Land of Thunder God, and The Frozen Land below, sensing the strangeness of this fragment land.

Until recently, she had only known the Panshi Fragment Land through Pang Lin as a fragment with rather rich nature’s spiritual energy.

Beyond that, there was nothing particularly unusual.

But now, hidden within the fog, the fragment land was a thriving little world!

The nature’s spiritual energy here was not just rich but second only to holy places like Pure Land!

Plants, thunderbolt, cold ice—the three Blessed Land Cave Heavens being formed could not escape her Spiritual Soul’s perception.

Wu Sujin, who had learned of the fragment land’s wonder through the Desolated Terrains before coming here, was still shocked upon her actual entrance.

Wu Sujin tentatively asked, "Does this fragment land belong to Pang Jian?"

"Yes, it entirely belongs to Pang Jian alone. Simply because Pang Jian is part of our Sword Tower, so this fragment land is also considered ours," Yao Junhong naturally spoke favorably for Pang Jian, then added, "The Second Realm is fraught with chaos, with those Individual Cultivators and scions living in constant uncertainty about the future."

"Sects like those of the Desolated Terrains, the Gui Sacrificial Sect, Jiuli Sect only accept young people with high cultivation talent."

"The elderly, women and children, mortals, and those cultivators who clearly lack potential are not among those they bring over."

"This fragment land rich in spiritual energy was something Pang Jian hesitated to reveal, fearing that true gods like Li Chu would become greedy. Yet, he couldn’t bear to see the likes of low realm beings such as the Zhou Family’s children, Red Mountain, and the cultivators from Yin Spirit Temple being abandoned one after another, so he revealed to the Tower Master the existence of this place,"

"Pang Jian, this lad, possesses the same kind heart as our Tower Master, unable to endure the desperate wails of the weak and helpless,"

"..."

To Yao Junhong, it seemed that Pang Jian had taken a liking to the girl from the Pure Land, thus he spared no effort in praising her.

He was not well-acquainted with Wu Sujin, but had heard a few stories about her and knew that she was exceptionally compassionate, spending years out in the world saving lives and helping the injured.

"Unfortunately, this fragment land has a limited area. Though he tried his best to accommodate as many as he could, he couldn’t save everyone,"

Yao Junhong sighed endlessly, saying, "If there were more people like Pang Jian in the world, if the major Sects of the First Realm were not so realistic and opportunistic, perhaps more of the pitiful people struggling to survive in the Fragment Land of the Second Realm could be saved."

Wu Sujin remained silent.

Her eyes were not blind.

The majority of the Zhou family people from the Forbidden Land of Thunder God were still mortals, with only a few having embarked on the path of cultivation, possessing at most the cultivation of the Marrow Cleansing Realm or the Innate Realm.

The cultivators of Reds Mountain and Yin Spirit Temple rarely even reached Hollow Profound Realm.

To the major Sects of the First Realm, these people were essentially worthless; even if they were brought to the First Realm, they had no future.

With the great calamity of the Human Race imminent, the Sects naturally tried to select the elite, while cruelly abandoning those weak and useless.

Using the limited resources, land and fragment land to choose the finest seeds to continue the lineage of the Human Race was not necessarily the wrong approach.

But along her journey, Wu Sujin had witnessed many tragedies in such lands, and she too felt unable to bear it.

In such a land rich in spiritual energy, where Pang Jian, the one steering the course, was even willing to accept mortals, she truly had to see him in a new light.

"I have misunderstood him, the elder brother of little Linzi, is indeed a good person,"

With this thought in mind, Wu Sujin, accompanied by Yao Junhong, arrived at the valley where the "Thunder Cave Heavens" was located.

Mu Aichuan, who stood guard at the entrance, nodded and stepped aside when he saw Yao Junhong personally accompanying her.

Within the valley, clusters of thunder and lightning surged and hovered in the air.

"Senior Yao, please tell Pang Jian that I have come for another person. This person is my junior sister; she cultivates lightning techniques and needs to contemplate the Great Tao in different Thunder Cave Heavens,"

Wu Sujin suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Pang Jian, who had been quietly paying attention to her, could no longer sit idly by in Cloud Wilderness.

Before Yao Junhong could send a message through Sword Command, Pang Jian simply used the divine skill "Shrinking Earth into Inches" to appear directly in the valley.

It was a new divine skill he had recently comprehended by delving into the mysteries of the earth; when executed in the "Integration" of Panshi Fragment Land, he could instantly reach any location.

"Now that you’re here, lad, she’ll be your responsibility to welcome,"

Yao Junhong blinked, leaving the valley in an instant with extreme decisiveness.

With that, only a "Thunder Cave Heaven" remained in the valley, along with a man and a woman.

Lei Kun had just returned his spiritual soul to his body a short while ago and was currently in the process of breaking through to the Soul Wandering Realm.

Looking at the aloof young man who had suddenly appeared, Wu Sujin’s pretty face immediately turned serious, "Is it convenient to speak here?"

Pang Jian nodded, "It is."

"That Old Thunder Dragon has returned to Saint Spirit Continent, so she... can leave Pure Land and choose a suitable place to comprehend the laws of thunder," Wu Sujin lowered her voice, "As for those two slightly older Thunder Cave Heavens in Purgatory that contained the profound Thunderbolt Argumentation, she has already explored them."

"This newly formed one, I feel, is extraordinary, and it happens to be in the fragment land you control,"

"That’s why, I plan to arrange for my junior sister to come here for contemplation,"

Wu Sujin explained her purpose.

Taking a deep breath, Pang Jian suppressed the turbulence in his heart and said, "As you know, as long as you can ensure her safety, whenever she comes, I am always welcoming."

"About last time..." Wu Sujin bit her lower lip slightly, expressing a hint of apology, "I stopped you two from exchanging knowledge at the Ghost Altar, because she was neglecting her cultivation. After thinking it over, I realized it wasn’t quite right, you can’t write someone off with just one blow,"

Pang Jian smiled, "Pure Land has protected her well, for which I am grateful,"

"If you say so, then I’m relieved," Wu Sujin also relaxed.

Just as the two were about to discuss details further, a dazzling sword light flew in from the outside. Without greeting, it crossed the barrier of Cold Ice mist and stepped into the Panshi Fragment Land.

At the sight of the sword light with its overflowing presence, Wang Ce, Guanghe, and Yao Junhong, who were taken aback, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yao Junhong’s expression turned odd, "What a coincidence?"

"Whoosh!"

A presumptuous sword light also descended into the valley.

Mu Aichuan, guarding the valley, shrank back, pretending to know nothing.

"Wu Sujin, what are you doing here?"

The young Li girl who had already ascended to the Extinction Realm hovered midair on her sword.

Her slightly plump face revealed confusion, "None of these three Blessed Land Cave Heavens in the fragment land align with the Tao you contemplate, what are you scheming?"

"Since when do I need to report my doings to you, Li Yuqing?" Wu Sujin retorted.
