Capítulo 2: Ten Times Cultivation Speed
Editor: Atlas Studios
At this moment, the medicinal pill that Yu Chen had swallowed previously also took effect. It almost instantly healed Yu Chen's burns.
In the furnace filled with flames, Yu Chen couldn't help but think of the guy who had caused him to come here.
A young man with a calm and peaceful face appeared in his mind, and Yu Chen could not help but feel disgusted.
It turned out that the peaceful demeanor of the Saint was all an act. He could be said to be the perfect example of a human-faced beast.
Soon, the 'Punishment' ended.
The furnace door swung open. A steel fork reached in from outside.
This was because prisoners who had been punished usually could not leave the furnace on their own.
Therefore, someone needed to get the prisoner out with a steel fork.
In order to avoid being stabbed by the steel fork, Yu Chen took the initiative to walk out.
His appearance caused many prisoners to look at him enviously.
It was good to have cultivation. He did not have to suffer so much pain.
Yes, these prisoners thought of Yu Chen as a cultivator of the second realm.
This was because only a cultivator on the second realm who was lucky enough to have a 'Fire Immunity' talent could be so calm under such terrifying flames.
The prison guard holding the steel fork was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Yu Chen to be so relaxed. Then, he retracted the steel fork and threw Yu Chen's prison uniform back to him.
After taking the clothes and putting them back on, Yu Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
This difficulty was finally overcome.
"I can't take it anymore!"
Suddenly, the sound of a prisoner breaking down could be heard.
He had originally been standing behind Yu Chen. Now, it was his turn to enter the furnace.
He clutched his head and backed away frantically.
Seeing that no one was stopping him, he turned around and fled out of the prison.
There was a flash of white light. The prisoner's feet were neatly cut off and he immediately fell to the ground, howling in terror.
The white light returned the way it had come and turned into an exquisite dagger that floated above the palm of one of the prison guards.
He spoke coldly. "Send him into the furnace!"
Yu Chen was shocked, but he was led away by the prison guard.
However, it turned out that he was brought to a larger furnace.
This was simply a small world.
The ground was red-hot steel. The temperature was incredibly high.
The prison guard was wearing an insulation suit, so he was fine.
And Yu Chen did not feel very uncomfortable because he had 'Fire Immunity'.
At this moment, the prison guard began to tell Yu Chen some of the rules here.
"There are only two rules here."
"First: Follow the rules. If you escape, your feet will be cut off."
"Two: Do not die."
With that, the prison guard instructed Yu Chen flatly, "So, if you can't stand it and want to commit suicide, you only have one chance. Otherwise, I'll definitely make you suffer."
Yu Chen walked on silently, ignoring him.
At the same time, he felt even more resentful towards the so-called Saint of the Hunyuan Sect.
Despite being an ordinary person, Yu Chen had experienced all this because of him.
The reason was lame and ridiculous.
Just because the Saintess looked at Yu Chen for a moment too long…
Finally, Yu Chen was brought to an iron cage.
The iron cage was about ten meters tall and dozens of meters wide.
Inside, there were prisoners with blank looks in their eyes.
After being sent inside the iron cage, Yu Chen realized that the prisoners here were all in despair.
The temperature here had reached a very shocking level. Ordinary people might not even be able to last for fifteen minutes.
Compared to here, a sauna room was much cooler.
After a long period in the baking heat, the prisoners reclined in their iron chairs, their eyes glassy.
Some prisoners with low cultivation levels had even turned into a pile of rotten meat.
Yu Chen's arrival went unnoticed.
Yu Chen couldn't be bothered to think too much about it. He found a place with fewer people and sat down.
Now, the most important thing was the remaining talent point.
Now that Yu Chen had high-grade 'Fire Immunity', he was not afraid of the punishment here at all.
If he wanted to leave this place, he would have to serve his sentence of five hundred years before he was released.
Five hundred years?
He can't wait that long! He's not a monkey!
Theoretically speaking - based on his current cultivation level - Yu Chen's lifespan was only slightly more than 300 years.
Moreover, Yu Chen was wronged. Therefore, he was definitely feeling indignant.
Suddenly…
Yu Chen frowned and immediately sat cross-legged.
After testing it out, Yu Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that he could actually cultivate here.
This place also had spiritual power.
Spiritual energy was needed to maintain the high temperature, so the spiritual energy here was quite dense.
Although it could not compare to the secret cultivation rooms of the core disciples of the Hunyuan Sect, it was still much richer than the outside world.
The prisoners here did not cultivate because they could not concentrate and enter a cultivation state under such punishment.
But Yu Chen was different…
Thinking of this, Yu Chen activated the Talent Tree and used up the last talent point on 'Genius'.
[Genius - Medium-grade: Cultivation speed increased by 10 times.]
After lighting his talent, Yu Chen began to cultivate.
At the same time, he made a mental estimate.
The original host started cultivating at the age of twelve and reached the fifth-level on the First Realm before the age of sixteen.
In other words, the original host had advanced five ranks in three and a half years.
In other words, it would increase by one level every 250 days or so.
Now that Yu Chen had ten times the cultivation speed, according to the rule that the difficulty of raising his cultivation level would not change within every ten levels, Yu Chen needed 25 days to increase his cultivation by one level.
However, the original host cultivated in the secret cultivation room of the core disciples of the Hunyuan Sect.
Therefore, it would probably take Yu Chen a month to level up.
'A month… still a bit long.'
Now, however, Yu Chen had no choice.
…
Soon, more than twenty days passed.
Yu Chen finally knew the reason why the prisoners here had not died after experiencing such a gruesome burning.
At the beginning of every month, the prison guard would feed the prisoner a life-saving pill.
The effect of this life-saving pill was very good. It could provide nourishment for a month and allow the body to maintain an extremely high recovery speed.
Therefore, this place was also called the World-weary Heavenly Prison.
It was because the prisoners here could not die or live.
The prisoners had to suffer at all times. This was the purpose of the prison!
It was also the source of the 'world-weary' title.
Another week passed, and Yu Chen perked up.
His cultivation had broken through to the sixth-level of the First Cultivation Realm!
The movement caused by a cultivation breakthrough instantly attracted the attention of the prisoners in the same cage.
However, they were all extremely weak. They could only look at Yu Chen in extreme surprise and point at him with trembling hands.
Seeing that Yu Chen was 'in perfect condition', they were even more shocked.
It was important to note that they were all in a half-dead state. Even sitting up on their own was a difficult task.
After all, their flesh was already completely stuck to the steel chair. If they rashly got up, the flesh would directly fall off…
What about Yu Chen?
Not only did he look lively, but he could even cultivate.
What was even more crazy was that Yu Chen had actually broken through a level!
However, Yu Chen ignored the prisoners.
At this point, Yu Chen couldn't be bothered.
Now, he only wanted to quickly increase his cultivation and get out of this damn place.
Although he was not suffering from the heat, this place was too torturous.
Every day was either cultivation or cultivation. It was dull and boring.
After all, if he did not cultivate, he could only stare off into space.
