At the summit of Kunlun, purple clouds stretch for 30,000 miles, and the morning bell of Yuxu Palace pierces through the sea of ​​clouds, startling the cranes in the heavens.

Beneath the bottomless icy abyss, in the frozen prison, there is only eternal silence.

The walls, solidified with icy ice, gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light, distorting the impatient faces of the two Jade Void disciples. The green lanterns in their hands flickered, casting ghostly shadows on the stone walls of the passageway.

"Damn it! Today, the Heavenly Venerable is giving a sermon, and all the immortals of the Three Realms are gathered here, but we have to stand guard in this godforsaken place!" The young disciple kicked a piece of broken ice on the ground.

The older disciple quickly stopped him: "Watch your words! Who's imprisoned here is..."

"What's there to be afraid of?" the young disciple sneered. "It's just a beast with fur and horns. Now that its collarbone has been pierced by the Nine Nether Profound Ice Lock, what makes it think it can turn the world upside down?"

Their voices echoed in the ice cave, unaware that each word transformed into a sharp icicle, piercing the huddled figure deep within the icy prison.

Shen Gongbao slowly opened his eyes.

Looking around, he saw that the icy chains pierced through his shoulder blades, and his blood had congealed into scarlet ice crystals that shimmered with an eerie light in the darkness.

He looked down at his leopard claws, which had revealed their true form, their mottled fur covered in scars.

Memories flood back like a tide:

He knew where he was.

This is the Frozen Prison!

It is a forbidden area used by the Jade Void Palace to punish extremely vicious demons.

As a cultivator of the Jade Void Palace and a disciple of the dignified Primordial Heavenly Venerable, he had also been imprisoned here once.

so……

Has he been reborn?

The sharp pain and the metallic smell of blood stimulated his nerves, instantly clearing Shen Gongbao's eyes and slowly curving his lips into a mocking smile.

He's already died once, what else does he have to be afraid of?

In his previous life, under his father's tutelage, he learned the art of breathing in the sun and moon. In just a few decades, he successfully transformed into human form and became a renowned genius among the demon race.

On a snowy morning, he climbed to the summit of Mount Kunlun and knelt before the Jade Void Palace for a long time.

Soon, he became a disciple of the Jade Void Palace, a position envied by all.

Relying on his own talent and extremely hard work, he became the closest being to the Twelve Golden Immortals in the Jade Void Palace.

Even with his exceptional talent and diligent cultivation, he was still inferior to the other disciples in the eyes of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

His achievements did not earn him any congratulations or recognition from his fellow disciples. On the contrary, the more outstanding he performed, the more his fellow disciples despised him.

In his previous life, he went to great lengths to gain the genuine approval of his master and many fellow disciples, only to end up being filled into the eye of the North Sea.

Scenes from the past flashed through Shen Gongbao's mind like a revolving lantern, and the burning anger in his eyes gradually subsided, finally turning into a deathly silence.

In his previous life, he had already done everything he could.

In this life, he decided to give up the fight.

So what if I'm a demon cultivator?

Do whatever you want!

【bite!】

[Host's Dao Heart Transparent Detected]

[Primordial Laying Down System Activated]

An icy blue light curtain unfolded before Shen Gongbao:

Host: Shen Gongbao

Cultivation level: Early stage of Xuanxian

Cultivation Technique: Jade Purity True Manual (Fragment)

Spells: Puppetry, Yin Thunder Spell

Magic weapon: Thunder Whip

Task: Not yet released

Shen Gongbao narrowed his eyes, wondering if he had received divine favor.

But what exactly is this "Primordial Laying Down System"?

Before I could think further, I heard familiar footsteps in the distance.

He looked up and saw an eternally compassionate face looking down at him with pity.

"Junior Brother Shen, do you realize your mistake?"

The newcomer had snow-white hair, styled into a high bun and secured with a jade hairpin. Auspicious cloud patterns swirled among the strands of hair, and her long, snow-white eyebrows were as smooth as willow branches, with a slight golden glow at the ends. She exuded an air of otherworldly elegance.

The visitor was none other than his senior brother, the Boundless Immortal.

Shen Gongbao's gaze lingered on his face, scrutinizing every inch.

Since Shen Gongbao entered the Jade Void Palace, although he was nominally a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable never taught him a single thing. All of Shen Gongbao's skills were taught to him by the senior brother in front of him.

It can be said that Wuliang Xianweng was the person Shen Gongbao was closest to in Yuxu Palace.

But when he thought of everything that Wuliang Xianweng had done for him in his previous life, the kindness in Shen Gongbao's eyes vanished instantly.

Seeing Shen Gongbao's dimmed eyes, Wuliang Immortal frowned:

"Junior Brother Shen, you went too far this time. You know Junior Brother Jiang's cultivation level. How could he withstand such a heavy blow from you?"

"If it weren't for Master's timely intervention, his cultivation might have been affected."

"Fortunately, Junior Brother Jiang is kind-hearted and did not blame you. As long as you sincerely admit your mistake, I will join your other senior brothers in pleading with Master to release you from the Frozen Prison as soon as possible."

Shen Gongbao sneered inwardly.

In the previous duel, he did indeed accidentally and seriously injure Jiang Ziya.

But that was a crucial competition concerning the selection of the person in charge of the Investiture of the Gods, so how could he not take it seriously?

Moreover, Jiang Ziya himself had already unleashed the Jade Purity Divine Thunder beyond his level. How could he protect himself if he didn't go all out?

If you really just want to avoid hurting Jiang Ziya, you could have made him admit defeat beforehand.

Before this, I gave him ample time to surrender and for you to stop him.

But none of you made a move.

Just when Jiang Ziya's Jade Purity Divine Thunder was about to strike me, and I was forced to take action, they accused me of harming my fellow disciples.

Where did you all go before this?
