章 37: Won't Submit to Evil Forces
編集者: Atlas Studios
Shortly thereafter, Yu Chen was brought out of the fifth floor of the prison.
Seeing light, Yu Chen narrowed his eyes and tried to adapt to the light.
"Name: Yu Chen
Gender: Male
Age: Eighteen
Identity: Core disciple of the Hunyuan Sect
Crime: Stole the Authentic Mental Cultivation Technique from the Hunyuan Sect."
"Yu Chen, you threatened a prison guard. You deserve to die. Ten years will be added to your sentence. Do you have any objections?"
During the interrogation, Yu Chen, whose skin was pale and covered in wounds, looked at the other party disdainfully through his long hair.
He said nothing, nor did he defend himself.
He only used his gaze to express his thoughts.
It was a look of determination that would never yield to an evil force, even after countless years in prison.
…
Hunyuan Sect.
"Have all the resources collected from the Empire been sent to the Jiguang Sect?"
Xi Ling stood with her hands clasped behind her back as she faced the Elder in charge, her tone calm as she inquired.
Her expression was unusually calm and unreadable.
Perhaps only Yu Chen's avatar standing beside her knew of the anger in her heart.
The elder lowered his head respectfully. "Immortal, that is indeed the case."
"But… the Jiguang Sect and our sect have reached an agreement…"
"Your plan may not be able to be implemented for decades to come."
Without a word, Xi Ling turned around and left with Yu Chen.
She felt strangely angry and powerless.
She would never have thought that even as the Immortal, she still could not influence the Hunyuan Sect.
Perhaps, becoming the Immortal had only brought some nominal benefits to Xi Ling.
She was still unable to participate in the sect's resource allocation and some major decisions.
Why…?
They had clearly agreed that the Immortal would be the future Sect Master.
In that case, the Hunyuan Sect should have nurtured her as the sect master and let her know everything.
But other than a title, she was no different from a Saintess.
After enduring for so long, she had finally climbed to an admirable height.
Unfortunately, she still couldn't achieve her wish.
Passing by Yu Chen's floating island, Xi Ling stopped midair and looked down at Yu Chen's residence.
She asked curiously, "Brother Chen, the spiritual power in the mountain is clearly denser. Why did you choose the floating island? Is there a meaning to this?"
Despite knowing that Yu Chen would not answer, Xi Ling still could not help but ask.
Before Yu Chen returned to the Hunyuan Sect, she only had one friend, Huo Miao'er.
Facing the people from the Hunyuan Sect all day, she tried her best to hide her personality.
She couldn't tell the difference between reality and a dream after such a long period of repression.
Moreover, after she became the Immortal with Yu Chen's help, she still couldn't change the Hunyuan Sect's oppression of her hometown.
That made Xi Ling begin to doubt herself.
Yu Chen's expression was still as cold as a corpse.
"Sigh…" Looking at Yu Chen's floating island again, Xi Ling instructed Yu Chen who was standing behind her, "Brother Chen, you should go back first. We'll talk about other things tomorrow."
When Yu Chen's avatar heard this, he descended from the sky and entered the house like a zombie.
"Perhaps my method couldn't change the Hunyuan Sect?"
"Am I doing things the wrong way…?"
"Can anyone tell me what exactly I should do?"
…
On the sixth floor of the Heavenly Prison.
Finally, there was light here.
There was also more freedom here.
But… the punishment was worse.
The punishment here is a combination of several punishments.
The morning was as cold as the Frozen Hell.
At noon, the heat was like the Melted Steel Purgatory.
In the afternoon, lightning continuously fell from the sky.
These lightning bolts would not kill the prisoners, but would try their best to kill them.
At midnight, darkness would fall. You wouldn't be able to see your hand in front of your face. Monsters would appear.
The cultivators here were tortured until their faces were pale. They were like soulless zombies.
It was early morning when Yu Chen first arrived.
Raising his arm to block the blood-red light falling from the sky, Yu Chen thought, 'Not bad.'
The cold was a common occurrence for Yu Chen.
Not to mention the heat. Yu Chen was directly immune to it.
It was just that Yu Chen had to be cautious of the lightning in the afternoon .
As for the monsters of the night, Yu Chen had no intention of letting them find him. Instead, he planned to find them.
According to the Blood Demon's description, this was the sixth floor of the Heavenly Prison.
Many monster beasts were raised on the sixth floor.
One of them was a huge Flood Dragon, which was one of the core of the numerous array formations that sealed the Blood Demon.
The Blood Demon was trapped in thousands of array formations. The Flood Dragon was only the core of one of the array formations.
What Yu Chen needed to do was to kill the Flood Dragon.
Unfortunately, the Flood Dragon was a fifth realm level ten monster beast, and its bloodline was extraordinary.
Its combat strength was comparable to a sixth realm cultivator.
However, Yu Chen was not afraid at all.
This was because in order to inflict utmost suffering to the prisoners , the monster beasts in this cage had been set up to be very cruel.
That was, no matter what, the monster beasts here would not kill the prisoners.
If the monster beasts wouldn't kill the prisoners, then there was a possibility that Yu Chen could exhaust the Flood Dragon to death.
He had the Blood Demon Mental Cultivation Technique, so injuries had no effect against him.
And pain was child's play to Yu Chen.
Yu Chen had already endured too much physical pain.
At this moment, Yu Chen was no longer afraid of any physical pain.
Stepping into the sixth floor of the Heavenly Prison, Yu Chen quickly encountered a fellow cultivator who was imprisoned.
This was a fourth realm cultivator. He was curled up in a corner, his arms wrapped around his knees. He begged in a low, trembling voice, "Don't… don't come over. I won't dare steal again. I won't dare again."
"Let me out. I don't belong here. This is hell. Don't hurt me anymore… I… I have repented…"
Yu Chen ignored him and continued walking forward, wanting to find the Monster Beast King, the Flood Dragon.
His efforts paid off. As lightning began to strike in the sky, Yu Chen found it.
The Flood Dragon flew in the sky. Its body was thousands of meters long, like a huge mountain.
Being provoked by Yu Chen, the Flood Dragon lowered its head slightly and looked down at the tiny Yu Chen. "Hahaha! Weak human cultivator, you actually dare to provoke me with your mere third realm cultivation?"
The Flood Dragon's mocking laughter spread throughout the entire cage.
Many prisoners looked at the Flood Dragon in the sky in fear and judged Yu Chen in their hearts.
'Who is so bold as to provoke the Flood Dragon in this cage?'
'If the Flood Dragon is angry, we'll be implicated as well. What an annoying newcomer!'
'Hehe, another reckless newcomer?'
Yu Chen smiled and looked up at the huge creature. "Hehe, it's quite big. I wonder if it can withstand beatings."
Roar ~
The Flood Dragon swooped down at Yu Chen. Its body kept shrinking until it finally transformed into a human.
It turned into middle-aged man with two dragon horns on his forehead. He raised his head arrogantly. "Kneel down and kowtow to me. I can be gentler. Otherwise…"
"Otherwise, you will be tortured by me for an entire day!"
Yu Chen smiled numbly. "All day? Hahahaha… I hope you don't give up halfway, little worm."
He had already decided that no matter how much time it took, he would kill the Flood Dragon here.
