Zhuang Yuechan was heading to the Gusu Cultivation Realm for training. After seeing her off, Song Changsheng took the Five Spirits Pill and Yin Yang Profound Gold and entered a secret chamber Shen Qingxiu had prepared for him in advance to begin a life-or-death period of secluded cultivation.
On the path of cultivation, each realm was another mountain to climb.
The Purple Mansion was the third realm on the path to immortality. To overcome it required a hundred, even a thousand times more effort than all the realms before it.
Failure meant death, the obliteration of one's cultivation, and the entry of the True Spirit into the cycle of reincarnation.
Success meant ascending to a completely different plane of existence.
Life and death could be decided in an instant.
