"I see!"
Only then did Jiang Fan resolve the doubts in his heart.
He had been curious before. Logically speaking, the Four Heavenly Kings had been on the eleventh floor for hundreds of years, and the large amount of obsidian they had accumulated was enough for them to convert all their cultivation into ghost energy!
In this case, even if they are still in the early stage of land immortals, they are the early stage of land immortals with full combat power. Their strength can even fight against Jiang Fan who has only 10% of his cultivation!
But in reality, Jiang Fan felt that they only had 20% of their cultivation, which was not much higher than the top master under their command! Therefore, if they did not use the magic weapon, they were no match for Jiang Fan.
Therefore, the King of the North would rather choose to spend money to avoid disaster than to confront Jiang Fan head-on!
"Why is this happening?" Jiang Fan continued to ask, his heart sinking and his brows furrowed.
If there were no so-called barrier, Jiang Fan would gradually recover his cultivation and then break through to the late stage of the land immortal. Perhaps he could really achieve a feat that no one had ever done before and break through the eighteen levels of hell, the Dragon City Prison, which is said to be unbreakable!
But with this bottleneck, how could Jiang Fan possibly contend with the Ten Yama Guardians?!
"have no idea……"
"It might be that becoming an immortal is difficult. The transformation of ghost energy is inherently like this; every step has its own steps. After all, even when the immortal world still existed, breaking through from a terrestrial immortal to a true immortal was an extremely difficult chasm! Among a hundred seniors, perhaps not even one could succeed! Only by finding the opportunity to break through can one truly become a ghost immortal!"
"It may also be the work of the Ten Kings of Hell. They don't want us to recover all our cultivation so as not to disturb the Eighteen Levels of Hell! So they did something." Yuwen Yuer shook her head. This problem has troubled her for many years and she still has no answer.
"Is there any solution?" Jiang Fan couldn't help but ask.
"No, I've tried everything over the years, even with the help of the City of the Dead, but I've only managed to improve the 40% of what a late-stage land immortal can convert, to 45%. After that, there has been no progress at all."
"However, the last period of eight difficulties was the key for me to break through to 45%! Therefore, perhaps this time's period of eight difficulties will also allow me to find a new way!" Yuwen Yuer could only pin her hopes on the period of eight difficulties.
After all, the eight difficult times are extremely painful and a life-threatening situation!
But wealth and honor are achieved through risk. This is a crisis, but also an opportunity!
"Okay, then I will try my best to restore my cultivation to 30% in the next three days! And then I will face all the invading enemies in my prime!" Jiang Fan nodded, and without hesitation, he directly picked up the bottles of obsidian ghost energy, inhaled them into his dantian in big gulps, and continuously transformed his cultivation!
If Jiang Fan had known that his master was a wealthy city lord, he wouldn't have had to fight so hard in underground boxing!
You know, he has never fought such a rich battle!
The ghost energy is like a buffet, you can absorb as much as you want!
…
The next day, on the other side, in the palace of Dong Tianwang, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Jiang Fan's appearance disrupted the plans of the Four Heavenly Kings, and the Eastern Heavenly King has been extremely annoyed.
However, today he finally got good news!
His men captured a man who was demoted from the fourth level of prison to the eleventh level. He claimed to be a jailer named Xue Liu, and he actually knew Jiang Fan!
This is a good way to get to know the mysterious Mr. Jiang!
As the saying goes, only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!
Only by understanding this sudden Mr. Jiang can we better deal with him!
So, the King of the East quickly asked his men to bring the person over!
After a while, King Dong Tian saw a ragged, smelly creature in the hall. It was beaten so badly that its face was bruised and swollen that it was almost unrecognizable. It looked like a Shrek monster.
Fighting back his nausea, the Eastern Heavenly King stood about three feet away from the man and asked, "Are you Xue Liu? The jailer on the fourth floor?"
"Ahhh... I'm not a jailer! Isn't it enough that I'm not a jailer? Stop hitting me! Wuuuuu, stop hitting me!" When Xue Liuyi heard the word "jailer", his whole body trembled instantly and he quickly denied it loudly.
"What's going on? Have you become a fool?" The King of the East frowned and questioned his men behind him.
The subordinate quickly replied, "Your Majesty, you may not know this guy, but it seems he was once a jailer. He was lucky enough to be driven down to the Obsidian Mine on the eleventh floor, so he quickly ran to the mine to avoid the various Five Elements punishments. However, this guy is ignorant of his own limitations and actually tried to get close to the jailers in the Obsidian Mine."
"As a result... the people in the obsidian mines naturally wouldn't recognize him. After all, let alone the fact that he was just a jailer, even if he was a local official or the son of a powerful family, he'd still be treated like a dog once he reached the eleventh floor! They just thought he was a lunatic and beat him up!"
"Who knew this kid would be so stubborn and recalcitrant! He kept claiming he was a jailer, the son of a wealthy family, and demanded justice from the jailers! In the end... naturally, he was severely punished by the jailers! It's said he was even thrown into the hands of convicts in the mines as a slave!"
"Those mining criminals are already at the bottom of the society, and when they saw a slave, they didn't give him any trouble! They said they pissed and shit on him, beat him up, and took turns to vent their anger on him! It was horrible to watch! But that's why there must be something hateful about him. He should have just said he wasn't a jailer earlier, instead of being so stubborn and pretentious!"
"It wasn't until later that society taught him a lesson! Now he's afraid when he hears the word 'jailer'! But as long as you don't mention these two words, he's pretty normal."
"...A phoenix with its feathers plucked is not even as good as a chicken! Let alone a demoted jailer! Only a rich and pampered young man like this would really think of himself as a big shot!" The King of the East was speechless when he heard this.
However, the question still needs to be asked.
Afterwards, the Eastern King reluctantly took out a tranquilizing pill and injected it into Xue Liu's mouth. After watching him calm down, he said, "Don't be nervous. I won't hit you. I'll just ask you some questions. Tell me the truth. I'll keep you safe in this eleventh-floor prison!"
