The lowest level of the Wujian Restaurant.
Three-Eyed and the scholar were busy, sometimes carving some kind of rune in the lava river, sometimes sealing the captured monsters into a volcano, they were having a great time.
The Ghost Bride stood aside chatting with Xia Tianqiong.
Xia Tianqiong thought the Ghost Bride wouldn't answer the question she had just asked, but to his surprise, she did answer it in the end, and told him many secrets of the Wujian Restaurant.
No, it should be called the Prison Guard Tower now.
"The full name of the Prison Tower is 'The Eighteen Prison Towers of the Myriad Realms and the Boundless Realm.' No one knows who created it. All that is known is that its origin is mysterious and that it has existed for as long as the Ghost Realm."
Each floor here is a small world, refined from other human worlds. Initially, this building was jointly controlled by several forces in the ghost realm to imprison and detain unruly monsters.
At that time, the realm of ghosts was similar to the human world, with a good order. They did not kill each other indiscriminately, nor did they invade the human world at will.
Later, a change occurred in the Ghost Realm, and the Prison Tower was taken over by a force composed of Ghost Kings.
They used the Prison Tower to extensively refine the bizarre entities, and then, with the aid of special formations, broke through the limits of the Ghost King, advancing to a new realm, which they called Ghost God.
Hearing this, Xia Tianqiong finally understood how the realm of the Ghost God came about.
He suddenly asked, "Are you sending me to capture the supernatural so that we can create a Ghost God?"
The Bride of Evil nodded, "Not only to become a God of Evil, but also to use the Prison Tower to break the shackles of heaven and earth and go to another world, but I am not entirely sure about all of this."
Xia Tianqiong felt that the history of the Ghost Realm was slowly unfolding before her, and hurriedly urged, "Sixiang, continue."
The ghost bride continued in a low voice: "Since then, the ghost realm has been in chaos, with fighting and killing everywhere, and countless monsters have been refined."
To ensure there were enough of these strange creatures, they began to invade one human world after another.
That dark period of history lasted for millions of years, and it was during that time that I was sealed here by a monstrous god. Fortunately, before I could be refined, another change occurred in the realm of demons.
Those demon gods discovered that there was a higher level of world beyond the demon realm, where they could continue to break through their realms. Moreover, the demon king was there, making it easier to achieve the position of demon god without having to rely on the Prison Tower.
So all the evil gods went to that world, and many evil kings followed them. But after they arrived, they sealed off the passage between the two worlds and joined forces to set up the rules of heaven and earth.
This slows down all the strange cultivation practices in the Ghost Realm, limiting practitioners to a maximum level of Ghost King, preventing them from advancing to Ghost God or traveling to that world.
Of course, they didn't completely block the path to advancement. They set strict selection criteria, and only those who met their requirements were qualified to enter that world.
Tens of thousands of years ago, hundreds of Ghost Kings fought for three spots, triggering a great war that affected the entire Ghost Realm. Many Ghost Kings perished as a result, including the Ghost King of the Tree Ghost Clan.
The Void Demon King entered the Upper Realm at that time, but he also exhausted the Void Demon Clan's resources; otherwise, their clan wouldn't be as weak as it is now.
The ghost bride paused slightly.
These words seemed to be specifically meant to tell Xia Tianqiong that the Tree Demon Clan and the Void Demon Clan were once very powerful, but have now declined. However, the Void Demon Clan still has members in the Upper Realm, so they should be careful in the future.
Xia Tianqiong nodded silently, her expression calm, and did not interrupt.
The Bride continued, "More than ten thousand years before this great war, I broke through the seal and regained my freedom."
Later, he joined forces with more than a dozen ghost kings, along with hundreds of thousands of ghosts of various levels, to refine the Prison Tower and transform it into the Wujian Restaurant.
The refining process lasted for over a thousand years and consumed tens of millions of taels of Netherworld Gold. Due to the backlash from the formation, most of the low-level monsters lost their intelligence, and even two monster kings perished.
Fortunately, we succeeded later, and the Prison Tower was completely under our control. From then on, we began operating in the underworld and various human worlds. This was to earn underworld currency and to select qualified spirits to prepare for breaking through to the level of a spirit god.
At this point, the Ghost Bride finally stopped.
Xia Tianqiong had a question in her mind: "Why do we have to capture the supernatural beings that have been upgraded in the human world? Can't we capture other supernatural beings?"
"When the Strange One advances in the human realm, it establishes a potential connection with the human world. When the human world completely collapses, the Prison Tower can use this connection to borrow the power generated by the world's destruction, thus having the opportunity to break the shackles of heaven and earth and reach the upper realm. Of course, this is just our speculation, and it may not be successful."
"I see. You've gone to great lengths."
While the two were chatting, the scholar and the Three-Eyed Ghost King had finished setting up this floor, and then went to other floors, setting up on each one.
When everything was completed, they finally arrived at the top floor, where Xia Tianqiong was also brought there by the Ghost Bride.
Both the Three-Eyed Demon King and the scholar were taken aback when they saw him.
The scholar's expression was indifferent. "Why is he still here?"
Xia Tianqiong thought to herself, "They really are the type to use people when they need them and the type to ignore them when they don't."
Just as he was about to take his leave, the ghost bride grabbed him.
"Let him stay and watch the reopening ceremony as compensation."
The scholar suddenly became serious, and the Three-Eyed Demon King also looked puzzled.
The scholar frowned and said, "We are making a deal with him; there is no issue of compensation."
The Ghost Bride refused to back down, saying, "Three-Eyed caused him trouble and unnecessary problems. Doesn't he deserve compensation?"
Xia Tianqiong felt a sudden warmth in her heart; the ghost bride was actually trying to make amends on her behalf.
The Three-Eyed Demon King's eyes widened suddenly, and he was about to speak when Xia Tianqiong spoke first.
"Tens of thousands of people died in the afterlife because of your meddling. Do you know how much ghost money I lost? I spent tens of billions just on compensation."
There are also various top-grade spiritual wines and fruits, whose value is incalculable. Don't you think you should compensate them?
