Chapter 1971: That Is the Real Hell

The notification complete, Xueli and Chen Yu returned together.

"That place we just experienced in the illusion, was that the real Hell?" Xueli asked.

"I don't know; I have never been to Hell either, but judging by the situation at the time, that place should be little different from the real Hell," Chen Yu said with a slight nod.

"In our Pope's Scripture, there are many descriptions of Hell, and when we preach, we also describe the horrors of Hell to the world," Xueli said with a soft sigh.

"But in fact, none of us have ever been to the real Hell, and this trip to Hell has truly made me realize the terrifying nature of it."

"The real Hell is far more terrifying than what we just experienced," Chen Yu said indifferently. "And those who preach only need to pass on the faith in their hearts to the world; there is no need to truly experience those things."

"What you say seems to be right." Xueli pondered the meaning of Chen Yu's words and gave a slight nod. "Chen Yu, I believe you will definitely not be affected when you go to the Endless Coast, because you were still very strong in the Hell Barrier just now."

"That is because things like illusions are simply child's play to me," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "For example, these things are like first-grade elementary school knowledge, while I have already graduated from university."

"You Cultivators seem to be immune to consciousness and mental attacks," Xueli said. "You must know that in our West, these things are almost unsolvable."

"Yes, because our willpower is strong, we are almost unaffected by anything," Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "This is considered normal for us."

"That is indeed impressive; if there is a chance, I would like to learn about this aspect," Xueli said after thinking for a moment.

"You can," Chen Yu said with a slight nod. "But you must be mentally prepared; the cultivation systems are different, and it might be a bit difficult for you to learn."

"That doesn't matter," Xueli said with a smile. "To become the Saintess of the Pope, one must go through a very long period of ascetic practice."

"I am already used to this method, so a little difficulty is almost nothing to me; I can endure it."

"That is good." Chen Yu stopped in his tracks. "Ahead is the Pope's territory; I won't see you off any further."

"Can't you walk a few more steps forward?" Xueli's tone carried a hint of resentment.

"This..." Chen Yu was taken aback. He said somewhat awkwardly, "It's not that I can't."

"Chen Yu, the illusion you brought me last time let me experience what a real woman is." Xueli looked up at Chen Yu.

"That was just an illusion, so please don't take it to heart," Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he said hurriedly.

Last time, it was to let Xueli experience being a real woman, but he had not expected that the ideal opposite sex in Xueli's consciousness would actually be him.

Moreover, that illusion was extremely realistic, as if she had experienced it personally.

Now he was terrified that this old maid had lost her heart; that would truly be an endless amount of trouble.

"I didn't say I wanted you to take responsibility, what are you afraid of?" Xueli couldn't help but glare at him.

"I'm not afraid... I'm just afraid you'll get lost in it," Chen Yu said awkwardly.

"If I were to get lost in it, what would happen?" Xueli turned back to look at Chen Yu and asked with hidden meaning in her words.

"Then I would advise you to turn back from your lost path. The human world is too bitter, and all pleasure is bitter karma, so I do not suggest you get lost in it," Chen Yu said with a serious face.

"Oh, so whether one gets lost in it or not is something one can control oneself," Xueli smiled slightly.

"Yes, these are all controlled by one's own emotions. If you can control your emotions, you will not get lost in it."

"All these words of yours are nonsense." Xueli rolled her eyes at Chen Yu. "Alright, I'm going back. You shouldn't need to consider my previous proposal anymore, right?"

"What proposal?" Chen Yu asked with a confused look.

"It's about me going to the Endless Coast with you. You should have considered it by now, right? You saw my strength in Hell just now; if I follow you, I will definitely not hold you back," Xueli said.

Indeed, Chen Yu had just seen Xueli's strength, and he felt that as a Saintess, her heart was pure and had not been polluted in any way.

Therefore, she should be different from others. Chen Yu nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I will take you with me this time."

"Thank you for your trust," Xueli said with a faint smile. "I don't think I will let you down."

"Your strength is very strong, and you certainly shouldn't disappoint, but for some things, it is better to be careful," Chen Yu said. "You must think clearly for yourself; if your power is restricted, it will be an extremely dangerous matter."

"I have thought it through. The Endless Coast is such a special place, I think it is better to investigate it clearly," Xueli nodded.

"Then we will see each other tomorrow," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"See you tomorrow," Xueli smiled slightly.

The itinerary for the Endless Coast was set. Night, inside the Ancient Castle of the An'er Commander Mansion.

Aili held Chen Yu's hand, reluctant to let go.

"Are you really leaving?" Aili asked.

"I have to go to the Endless Coast to scout the path," Chen Yu said. "That Prince who turned you into a member of the Blood Clan should be there."

"Moreover, the Blood Clan has been getting more and more rampant lately. If they are not restrained, I fear it will be even more troublesome in the future."

"I really don't want you to take risks for me," Aili said, unable to bear the parting.

"You must understand, I am not just taking risks for you alone; I am taking risks for many people," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"But you don't need to worry about me. With my strength, I think it is the Blood Clan of the Endless Coast who should be worried; their good days are coming to an end."

"Also, keep these Talisman Papers; they will allow you to live under the sunlight. This way, even if I am not here, you can go out during the day just like a normal person."

Chen Yu took out some Talismans and handed them to Aili.

"Without you accompanying me, I don't want to go anywhere," Aili said with a look of resentment.

"You should go out more and make more friends," Chen Yu said with a wry smile. "You originally had a very sunny personality; it's just that you've been cooped up in the Ancient Castle for too long."

"I will try," Aili nodded.

"That's good. I hope that when I return, you will have recovered your former sunny and cheerful personality," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"I will. Even if it's just so you can see my true side, I will work hard," Aili nodded again.

She could disregard the words of others, but she could not disregard Chen Yu's words. She secretly made up her mind that when Chen Yu returned, she would definitely put on a new face.
