Chapter 400 In All Its Glory Part3
"Masta… this is blasphemy… but I can't take it anymore." Little Blue whined and rolled around on the ground.
Tang Yue nodded and didn't say anything.
She was already used to this as the two wolves behaved in the same way as if they had discussed things beforehand.
Almost an entire week had passed since everyone arrived at the palace and there wasn't a single peaceful moment after that. Not that Tang Yue was complaining.
She especially found this particular routine very amusing.
All her three contracted pets entered the trial grounds with the same gusto.
However, when they were spat out eventually after having failed, they whined and cried, never wanting to go back again.
But a few minutes later, they once again jumped back in without hesitating, forgetting all about how difficult it was.
Unlike the wolf and the elemental, Eleana who was also going through the same training handled it much more elegantly.
The harpy had now recovered a lot of her strength and her cultivation base, the wounds in her body almost completely healed.
All their trials were different and each one of them experienced different obstacles inside the trial.
Little Blue was endlessly made to fight against phantom images of other beasts.
The elemental was exposed to environments it was not comfortable with such as a freezing cold winter, alternating with an inside of a volcano or a flame burst terrain where it could get enlightenment regarding fire element laws.
And lastly, Eleana as well experienced phantom images that helped hone her fate magic while at the same time experienced physical tempering and mental tempering like Tang Yue did.
Her training inside the trial was more similar to Tang Yue's rather than to Little Blue's or Little Plum's.
And just like Tang Yue trained, the three of them continued training day and night.
"With everyone here, the palace has become a lot more lively" Tang Yue shook her head helplessly.
She stood up and stepped into the trials after having rested well. She did little else since essentially a knife was handing over her neck.
Inside the trial, she wandered into the familiar mana river, and there were now six pillars standing tall amidst the river instead of five like before.
After she had gained affinity to the dark element, another new pillar shot up from the river.
It thrummed mana drenched in darkness attribute, making it extremely easier for her to cultivate that element.
However, the overall difficulty went up as well, since balancing five elements was difficult while balancing six elements was almost impossible.
In reality, Tang Yue was not satisfied with just these six elements.
Apart from these, there were also other mysterious elements like illusion element, poison element, time element, space element, and fate element, which cannot be cultivated easily.
As she was mostly treading on uncharted territories now, Tang Yue decided to leave these elements aside for the time being.
It would be akin to stepping on a land mine if she touched any of these elements now and merged it with her cultivation base.
She wanted to push her limits but that didn't mean she wanted to act rash and reckless, committing suicide.
So she settled with the six elements, cultivating mana cores for each element, and even managed to condense them into small seeds in merely a week's time.
This was an insane progress speed that even scared the old man.
He knew that Tang Yue was born with a heaven-defying talent, but her comprehension ability, her perception, and more than anything and her will to push forward was extraordinary.
Even though entering the training grounds day in and day out was the same as torturing oneself to become stronger, much faster than what was natural, she still did it anyway.
In order to step into the next realm, she had to allow the six seeds to take root in her body and soul, thereby interlinking everything together.
This was the most crucial step and this was when one officially became a Deity.
This was also the most difficult step as she had to balance six elements and combine and their equal and opposing forces, establishing a balance between them.
Only if she managed to accomplish this, she would be able to stand a chance against the dragon which was probably at the peak of the Deity realm or even with one leg already into the divine realm.
Or perhaps it was at the peak of the divine realm. She knew that it couldn't be an immortal just yet.
Otherwise, it would have blasted the defenses of the palace, but anything under that realm was a fair guess.
Tang Yue did not worry about that too much and continued pushing forward as best as she could.
Considering everything, that dragon that almost killed her was merely a stepping stone to her. Her enemies were far more powerful and far more vicious.
They came for her ancestor, so she knew that they will surely come to her as well. There was no doubt in her mind about it.
She knew that she had to reach the Immortal realm irrespectively. For others, it might be a pipe dream but for her, it was a requirement for survival.
And she wanted to survive no matter what, especially now that she had people to love and protect. So she knew that she would get there in any way possible or die trying to.
Days passed quickly and Tang Yue continued training without any break.
She barely stepped out or even took any break as the training she was undergoing was both torturous and nourishing at the same time.
More simply put, it was plain cruel.
It allowed the person to train and heal and when the person fully recovered, everything once again turned difficult and she would have to withstand the pain.
And finally, when she couldn't withstand anymore, she would be pushed out, only to once again step inside willingly.
It was an extreme training method that only masochists and fools would dare to pursue. But because of the time limit, Tang Yue did it irrespectively.
She did not even think twice about it because this torture was still far more bearable than having to run and hide, weak and helpless.
