Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Panda Novel

“Doesn’t matter. If heaven truly wants my life, I will have no choice.” Jiang Yi muttered to himself for a moment and didn’t ponder anymore. He looked at Qian Wanguan and asked, “What is the second thing?”

Qian Wanguan secretly admired Jiang Yi’s ability to quickly calm himself. Had it been anyone else who knew that some undefeatable enemy was going to kill them, they would definitely be in a panic. But Jiang Yi wasn’t like anyone else, and this mentality was rare.

He paused for a moment before speaking, “The Ten-Thousand Dragon Valley’s Tomb of the Heaven Monarch is about to open in one month. I reckon that the college’s bi-annual Blood Purge would be held there! After all, the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch only opens once every 50 years, and it is a rare opportunity.”

“Tomb of the Heaven Monarch? What is that?”

Jiang Yi raised his brows. This ‘Heaven Monarch’ title was only given to unmatched masters of the world like the Heaven Monarch of Massacre. The Tomb of the Heaven Monarch was a place of utmost glory; who would dare to violate it? Why would the college host their Blood Purge within the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch?

“Boss, you are unaware of this.”

Qian Wanguan explained: “This Ten-Thousand Dragon Valley, Tomb of the Heaven Monarch, is a very special place. It is situated at the borders of three kingdoms: the Divine Martial Kingdom, the Great Xia Kingdom, and the Saint Spirit Kingdom. It belonged to an area where these three kingdoms didn’t rule over. The Heaven Monarch of Ten-Thousand Dragons was a generational master from 20 thousand years ago. He adored artifacts throughout his entire life. When he was alive, he nearly plundered half the continent’s artifacts and martial skills.

“When he fell ill and had no children at his knee, he kept all those treasures within his Tomb of the Heaven Monarch. He then placed a formidable seal on the tomb, opening it once every 50 years for any martial artists below the Soul Travel Realm to explore and look for treasures. This is one of the three major treasure sites of the continent.”

“So this is how it is…”

Jiang Yi suddenly realized that this Heaven Monarch of Ten-Thousand Dragons actually wanted the later generations to go seeking for treasure in his tomb instead of desecrating or creating blasphemy to his remains. But Jiang Yi turned around and was rather confused. “A tomb could only be of a certain size. It has been more than 20 thousand years; even if Soul Travel Realm martial artists couldn’t enter, the treasures must have already been wiped clean, right? Is there a need to host a Blood Purge within it?”

“Haha!”

Qian Wanguan laughed and said, “Boss, you are truly naive! Do you think a Tomb of the Heaven Monarch is only a small tomb? Within it was a massive mysterious space. The clansmen from my clan that entered inside said that the space within the tomb is much more massive than you can imagine. Even if 10,000 individuals entered at the same time, they wouldn’t be able to explore the whole tomb in a single year. What’s more, these treasures were randomly shot out from the inner sanctum; and as of now, no one has ever gained entry into the inner sanctum…”

“So mystical?”

Jiang Yi was skeptical, and yet his heart had this subtle excitement. Who didn’t like treasures?

What’s more, after this Blood Purge, he would become an Ordinary Cadet; and after the next Blood Purge, he could become an Elite Cadet. When that heaven-tier healer, Master Liao, was back, he would be able to ask Su Ruoxue to help ask him to treat Jiang Xiaonu. Once Jiang Xiaonu was treated, he would immediately elope with Jiang Yunhai and find a place to hide and slowly plan for the future.

But soon, his mood grew dignified. If he was to go for the Blood Purge at the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch, he would have to leave Mt. Spirit Beast College. There would be a mentor guiding the cadets; but once on the outside, Jiang Yiliu would have more opportunities to tamper with him.

Qian Wanguan knew what Jiang Yi was thinking and nodded his head. “If the Blood Purge is actually at the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch, then you, my Boss, will be in grave danger. Even if the college’s guards are to follow throughout the way, you will still be dead inside the tomb! This is why my personal opinion is for Boss to give up this Blood Purge.”

“Give up?”

Jiang Yi shook his head and said with resolute, “Impossible! I have to be promoted to Ordinary Cadet as soon as possible; how can I just give up? Furthermore, isn’t it supposed to be completely safe within the college? Things will happen sooner or later, and it is inevitable. Didn’t you just say that the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch is massive? I might not even bump into Jiang Yiliu’s men.”

Qian Wanguan sighed and didn’t continue. Before things were affirmed, there was no meaning to continue discussing.

…

Qian Wanguan’s predictions were accurate. A few days later, the college announced that the next Blood Purge would be held within the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch. Principal Qi would be the leader. Write-In Cadets would just need three treasures from inside the tomb to pass the Blood Purge. Ordinary Cadets would need six while Elite Cadets would need twelve treasures.

At the same time, the college gave a stern warning that searching for treasures within the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch was abnormally dangerous. Plenty of Purple Mansion Realm martial artists from the three kingdoms would be entering, too. The cadets might meet danger inside, and the cadets had to think it through before entering. If they were to die within the tomb, the college would not be responsible.

The college’s meaning was obvious. They could only guarantee the cadet’s safety on the way to the college; if the cadet was to die within the tomb, the college would not bother. This meant that there was an exceptionally high probability of death within the tomb.

When Jiang Yi got the news, he didn’t bother with the dissuasion from Qian Wanguan and registered at the cadet’s office. He found out that there were tons of people who weren’t afraid of death. In just a short notice, the number of cadets registering had reached a staggering few hundreds.

When Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan returned to the West Courtyard, they were surprised to see a familiar figure. A white palace robe was wrapping a perfect body. That cool and elegant face had no emotions, but the pair of beautiful eyes would occasionally flash with urgency.

“Jiang Yi. Did you register?” When she saw Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan returning, Su Ruoxue’s eyes instantly turned cold. When she saw Jiang Yi nodded to confirm her question, she shook her head subtly and sighed. She didn’t say anything and left straight away.

Shh-shh-shh!

Just as Su Ruoxue left, two figures walked quickly towards them from a distance. One of them was a male with bronze-colored skin while the other was a black-robed young lady that wore a veil. When the male cadet saw Jiang Yi from afar, he began to shout, “Jiang Yi. Do not go register for the Blood Purge!”

“Brother Zhan. I have already registered.” Jiang Yi exchanged looks with Qian Wanguan and spoke with a bitter laugh.

Zhan Wushuang pursed up his lips and went silent for a moment before speaking coldly, “Let’s go together then. You will be much safer with me.”

Jiang Yi cupped his fist and nodded with gratitude, “Many thanks, Brother Zhan.”

Zhan Wushuang bade farewell with Zhan Lin’er while Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan walked into the courtyard. This time, a yellow figure appeared. Jiang Yi was stunned to see Ji Tingyu as he didn’t expect her to come and look for him.

Ji Tingyu stood at the entrance of the door but didn’t take a step in. She looked at Jiang Yi from a distance and said, “Jiang Yi. Do not go to the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch, or else you shall be buried together with the Heaven Monarch of Ten-Thousand Dragons!”

Jiang Yi laughed lightly. “I will certainly be going to the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch. It will be an honor if I am to be buried along with such a prominent figure like the Heaven Monarch of Ten-Thousand Dragons.”

“Sigh. Then I hope that you pass the Blood Purge successfully! Good luck!”

Ji Tingyu shook her head and sighed slightly before turning to leave. Jiang Yi looked at her beautiful back and felt some warmth in his heart. It didn’t matter what was going to happen in the future. Ji Tingyu still treated him as a friend now so he would naturally still acknowledge her as a friend, too.

Seeing so many concerned friends coming immediately after knowing he was in danger made Jiang Yi felt comfortable. It seemed like he made many friends on his trip here at the Mt. Spirit Beast College.

“Boss, you better withdraw from the Blood Purge!”

Qian Wanguan thought about it and felt something wrong. He tried to dissuade again, “If Jiang Yiliu is set to end your life, he will even collude with the Jiang Clan and the Zhangsun Clan. With my current strength, my clan doesn’t allow me to enter the tomb; and Zhan Wushuang will not completely go against their two clans for you…”

“Don’t worry, Wanguan.”

Since it was already decided, Jiang Yi was determined to go all out. He laughed lightly and patted in Fatty’s shoulder. “I guarantee that I will return alive. No one can take my life—not even Jiang Yiliu!”
