Chapter 2341
“Graham, are you crazy? You clearly know you weren’t a match for it, so why did you continue fighting? You ended
up being so heavily injured, it’ll definitely affect your future…
“Don’t forget, we’re not within the clan at the moment. We still don’t know how much danger we’ll face in this
place. For you to get yourself so heavily injured is incredibly irresponsible!”
As he said that, Benjamin’s lips were trembling slightly. He had clearly told Graham earlier to not push himself if he
could not win. Surrendering would have been the way to go.
However, Graham seemed to have completely forgotten that promise. When Graham fought against the eight-
tailed demonic snake, he seemed to drop everything else, seemingly wanting to battle the snake to death!
Graham took a deep breath, not saying anything. He knew that Benjamin’s words were reasonable, and that he had
lost his composure.
At that moment, Jackie said in a low voice, “You’re the chosen disciple from the fourth-grade clan, you’ll be bearing
a lot of responsibilities in the future. For you to put your life on the line for this trivial thing isn’t worth it at all.”

When everyone heard Jackie’s words, they had confused looks in their eyes. They obviously did not understand
what Jackie had meant. No one else understood, but Graham definitely did.
Graham felt like his sore point had been pressed, and his face turned from pale to red.
He opened his eyes to look at Jackie, but Jackie still had that nonchalant expression on. Jackie was looking at
Graham with a very plain expression. After letting out a long sigh, Jackie looked away.
Graham really did not want to admit defeat. Even though he had been focused on his own battle, he still saw
Jackie’s victory over the eight-tailed demonic snake.

He never expected that Jackie would win, and Jackie looked like he was not even injured.
His skills were clearly not on the level of the eight tailed demon snake. It was impossible for him to beat the snake.
There was actually such a huge gap in skills between Jackie and him, how could he just swallow that.
Why was there such a big gap between the two of them when they were both masters!
He clearly remembered that Jackie was merely at the intermediate stage of the innate level as well. He admitted
that he was no match for the masked man, but he felt like the gap between the masked man and him was not that
large. It did not make Graham feel that bad.
Instead, he noticed that there was such a huge gap between Jackie and him. There was no way for Graham to
calmly accept that, and the thought filled his mind at that moment.
He wanted to do everything he could to prove that the gap between Jackie and him was not that big. He could
defeat the eight-tailed demonic snake as well. He could also stand at the peak of the Divine Void Slope, looking
down on everyone!
Benjamin’s eyes lit up, looking at Jackie before looking at Graham, seemingly understanding Jackie’s words. He
reached out and lightly patted Graham, not continuing to scold the man. Instead, knelt down and took out a few
more pills for Graham.
At that moment, the sound of a clock could be heard In their ears. The sound seemed very close to them as I fit
came from within Netherworld Mountain.
Everyone widened their eyes. In their state of confusion, all of them started to be enveloped in familiar energy.
When they started to react, they had already left the blood-colored world, and was back on the Divine Void Slope!

Chapter 2342
However, this time, there were only less than a hundred disciples left from the initial hundred and eighty! Most of
those who died were from the northern clans!
When they were transferred back to their original position, Jackie turned to look. There was suddenly a lot of space
within the densely packed crowd.
The northern clan disciples were no longer as confident within their own backyard as they were before. They were
anxious, and looked at the disciples from the other clans with hatred!
If they did not know of the difference in numbers, the two sides would have started to fight! Jackie let out a long
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsigh and looked over at Graham next to him.
Graham was not in a good state and seemed to want to avoid everything by shutting his eyes. Graham sat down
cross-legged as he started to tend to his own wounds.
The masked man was not in a much better state. The masked man’s injuries were only slightly better than
Graham’s. Jackie was actually injured as well, but compared to the two of them, his injuries were nothing.
He had also taken a recovery pill before that, so Jackie already felt much better! The masked man’s cold gaze fell
on Jackie. The masked man did nothing to hide his killing intent as if he wanted to skin Jackie alive.
Jackie let out a cold smile and stared right back.
The masked man snorted, “Prick! Don’t be so pleased with yourself. There’s still plenty of time, we’ll see what
happens later!”
Jackie raised his eyebrow slightly as he said, “You’re right, there’s still plenty of time…”
The moment he said that the old voice was heard once again, “Three days! You have three days to recover from
your injuries! After three days, the peak of the Divine Void Slope will witness your battle!”
After that, the old voice was no longer heard, and the crowd started to talk amongst themselves.
All the battles and risks they took before were for this very moment. From the moment when everyone entered
with confidence to them all losing their confidence when faced with difficulty of each challenge. At that moment,
everyone had thought that no one would be able to pass.
Defeating the ninth Divine warrior seemed like something impossible. Yet, someone had done it. It was not just one
person, but two!
They had to admit that the old man’s arrangements were quite humane. After all, Jackie and the masked man had
suffered varying degrees of injuries. If they had fought right away, it would be unfair to the masked man.
After all, the last battle would be the final battle between Jackie and the masked man! When the masked man heard
those words, he took a deep breath.
He suddenly looked up at Jackie, “Excellent! Three days is enough for me to recover. Then, I’ll let you know that
luck will not always be on your side!”
“The others can’t see, but I clearly did.
“You killed that eight-tailed snake so easily, not because you were strong enough to easily pierce through its
defenses. It was just because you knew its weakness!”
Jackie smiled, not denying it. He did not really care what the masked man thought about him. Even if the masked
man insulted him, Jackie was not bothered to retort. After all, strength had never been determined with words.
Chapter 2343 The masked man loudly declared, “Don’t even think that I’ll lose to you just because your results
were better! Let me tell you… If I’m at my peak, or if I really decide to put my life on the line, you’ll never defeat
me!”
The others might not know what the masked man’s hidden message was, but Jackie got the message loud and
clear. After all, he had seen the masked man’s true power before.
As someone who had already entered the spring solidifying realm, the masked man had definitely taken pills to
suppress his power to enter this place! The masked man was right, if his powers were not suppressed, Jackie would
stand no chance.
However, Jackie was merely at the intermediate stage of the innate level. If Jackie managed to break through and
reach the spring solidifying realm, he would not be bothered with the masked man then!
Jackie took a deep breath, his eyes glinting as he went deep in thought. He suddenly had a worry in his heart. If the
guy was forced to the level where he did not care about anything else and reverted to the spring solidifying realm,
Jackie might really die!
Thinking about that, Jackie frowned. He suddenly made a vow in his heart that he would not let that happen. Even if
it did happen, he would make sure he had a way to protect himself.
After making that point clear, he did not even look at the masked man and sat down immediately. He had no time
to waste.
The others did not react to what Jackie was doing. Jackie suddenly took out that jade box and retrieved the spirit
refining pill. He stuffed the pill into his mouth right in front of everyone.
That scene caused everyone to be stunned, Jackie had swallowed the spirit refining pill! Even though they’ve never
had such a pill before, everyone had heard of its power and effectiveness.
The key lies in the word ‘refining’. Refining one’s soul was not something to be played around with. Before
swallowing the pill, most people would have various preparations. It was so that they would be able to stave off the
effects if they could not hold on!
Otherwise, they would damage their souls, and turn into a madman. However, Jackie ignored all of that and
swallowed the pill directly!
Isaiah said nervously, “What do we do? Has Jackie gone crazy?! Does he not know how intense the spirit refining pill
is? It doesn’t just level up the soul.
“It can damage his soul if he’s not careful! Damaging his soul at a time like this will affect the results of the battle!”
Nelson had a worrisome look on as well. However, it was already too late to worry, because they had not even had
the chance to stop Jackie before he swallowed the pill.
Nelson shook his head slightly, saying helplessly,” It’s already too late to say anything. All we can do is pray that
he’ll be fine.
“Otherwise, the two of us will be in danger. If anything happens to Jackie, the masked man won’t let the two of us
from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion off!”
Isaiah cursed in his heart as if he had taken some poison. His eyes were full of despair. Nelson was right, if anything
happened to Jackie, the two of them would suffer.
There were only the three of them left from the clan. Jackie was their pillar of support. If that pillar fell, the two of
them would be eaten alive.
Graham looked over at Jackie in shock, “He’s really gone crazy…”
Graham spat out those words in exasperation. As a chosen disciple at the peak of a fourth-grade clan, he naturally
had a lot more knowledge than the rest.
Chapter 2344 It would be incredibly difficult for anyone to swallow the spirit refining pill before making preparations
beforehand, that was what everyone else knew. However, they did not know that the soul refining pill’s medicinal
effects were incredibly dominating.
It refines the soul by using the dominating medicinal effects to break down the soul and reassemble it again,
training the soul!
Each time a soul was broken down and reassembled, It would be even more refined, losing unneeded filth! I t would
slowly be molded into a sharp blade!
The pain when souls were ripped apart was not something a regular person could withstand. Some would even go
mad from being tortured like that. It needed a very strong soul as well as will to be able to hold on!
The masked man laughed lightly, mocking, “Brat! It looks like the both of us won’t even need to fight, you’ll be the
death of yourself!”
Jackie was unable to respond to the masked man at that moment. Even if he could, Jackie would not have replied
anyway. At that moment, Jackie’s full focus was within his own body.
Ever since the spirit refining pill entered his body, Jackie felt like his entire body was being engulfed by a strange
energy. His soul was screaming out in pain.
Jackie had read in an old book that the body’s pain would never reach the limits because the bodies had their limits.
Once the pain reaches a certain level, the pain would go numb.
However, pain in the soul was different. There was no limit to the pain he could suffer. It was able to torture a
person to death. The pain in the soul was far worse than any physical pain.
Someone had said before that no matter how firm one’s resolve was, the limitless torture that could be inflicted on
the soul would still be able to subdue them.
At that moment, Jackie’s face was still the picture of calm, but he was already in so much pain that he could not
even utter a single word. The spirit refining pill was extremely imperious, and it had completely penetrated Jackie’s
soul after being absorbed.
The power was like a chisel that never stopped hitting Jackie’s soul. Jackie’s soul was like a wooden block that had
been shattered by the chisel. After a while, Jackie’s whole body was twitching, and cold sweat started to form on his
forehead.
Without any context, one would think that he had just been pulled out of water. His skin looked like a prawn that had
been cooked. It was incredibly red. Those further away were unable to see anything, but the two next to him could
clearly see what was happening to him.
Graham did not even have the mood to continue recovering. He raised his eyebrow as he sighed helplessly. Even
though he had never had a spirit refining pill before, he had heard from others how much torture the pill inflicted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHaving one’s soul being shattered before being reassembled! All that increases the strength and quality of the soul.
Just thinking about it had Graham’s head go numb. He could only helplessly look at Jackie, who was experiencing all
of that. “Even after taking so much pain, he isn’t crying out at all. He’s a real man.”
It was high praise from Graham. There were not even three people who he thought were real men, so it was
obvious how high Jackie’s tolerance was. Even the masked man next to Jackie did not have words to rebuke it.
However, he was still unwilling to admit anything, and said plainly, “So what if his tolerance is high? The spirit
refining pill isn’t something to be played around with. Swallowing it without any preparation, even if he can
withstand the pain, his soul won’t be able to recover from the damage.
“It might even destroy him mentally. The spirit refining pill might be a ninth-grade pill, no one dares to easily
consume it. The medicinal properties are far too strong, and Jackie’s just at the intermediate level of the innate
stage.
Chapter 2345
“Even someone at the spring solidifying or even divine solidifying realm would not dare to try it so easily. Does he
think that he can? He’s looking for death!”
Graham glanced at the masked man, Graham was already at the level where he hated the masked man with a
fierce passion. After all, that guy had caused Graham so much trouble and had even killed so many disciples from
the Thousand Leaves Pavilion.
He had originally wanted to ignore the masked man, but hearing the masked man’s arrogant words, Graham could
not help but say coldly, “You always evaluate Jackie like this, but aren’t you the one who’s constantly on the losing
end? Don’t casually give out criticisms like this!”
The masked man’s face was suddenly red with anger, and wanted nothing more than to start a fight against
Graham immediately! Just as the masked man was about to retort, Jackie could finally not resist letting out a cry in
agony, “Ahhh…”
However, that cry was forcibly held back by Jackie midway. He shut his mouth tightly, not wanting his cry to be
heard by anyone else.
However, because of the pain he was suffering, his body was trembling even more intensely. He was shaking so
intensely that every muscle on his body was trembling. His temples thumped as if he would explode at any
moment.
Even though they could not feel the pain Jackie was going through, they could still somewhat tell what the pain was
like from Jackie’s reactions, and to what degree the spirit refining pill had advanced to.
At that moment, Jackie had no strength to notice the reactions of those around him were to his cry of agony
because he was already in so much pain that he felt like dying
The spirit refining pill really was intense! Jackie felt like his entire soul was being assaulted by intense attacks. His
soul was being ripped apart in every area before being reassembled!
The pain from his soul being constantly torn, left him unable to stand the pain! Reassembling his soul still required
him to use his aura which needed his true energy. So, not only did Jackie need to withstand the pain, he needed to
use his true energy as well.
The assault on two fronts left him in a dire situation! Jackie was incredibly concerned, he did not know how much
his soul would be reconstructed.
How much aura and true energy would he need to expand? If all his true energy ended up being expended, would
he not be completely exhausted?
Jackie was starting to regret his recklessness at that moment. He had swallowed the pill without first making sure
the price he would have to pay. He was incredibly concerned at that moment.
However, it was already too late for any regrets. He had to hold on! Everyone on the Divine Void Slope was staring
at everything Jackie was doing with widened eyes.
In the beginning, Jackie was not trembling so intensely, so those further away were not able to see It clearly.
However, at that moment, everyone could see it very clearly because of how badly he was trembling!
On top of that, the earlier cry of agony had immediately signaled Jackie’s condition to everyone else. Hayden
frowned and said, “Jackie’s in trouble. The spirit refining pill isn’t something to be fooled around with, will he be able
to withstand it?”
Benjamin sighed, “For his spirit to be destroyed and reassembled, he won’t just need to tolerate the pain, he’ll also
need to expend a lot of aura. Even if Jackie’s incredibly strong mentally, he would need the aura to hold up.”
