Chapter 186 Meow Meow Meow
The thunder tribulation that caused the spiritual realm immortal to ascend to heaven lasted for a day and a night.
The thunder tribulation went from weak to strong, and when it was close to ascension, it had become extremely fierce. Any simple blow was enough to turn a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage into ashes in an instant!
Even Mu Jue, after having resisted the thunder tribulation for a whole day and night with all his might, was still in tattered clothes and exhausted.
so.
When he had only the last bit of strength left, he sat down on the ground panting, and he didn't even have time to appreciate the sight of the golden light flashing above his head and the sky opening.
As Mu Jue's vision swayed, he suddenly saw Jian Yunlan not far away, carrying a lot of bags, rushing towards him happily like a passenger at the train station catching the last train of the Spring Festival travel rush...
"?"
Mu Jue couldn't help but slowly typed out a question mark.
No, who are you? ?
They are going to ascend to the upper realm, not go home for the New Year? !
Mu Jue: Who in my family would understand? How could a good person ascend to heaven with so many bags as if he has never seen the world? It’s such a speechless thing!
After experiencing a day and night of thunder and lightning, the first person I saw was like this. I suddenly felt my eyes go dark. This is what happened to me in my life!
However, soon, all the complaints in Mu Jue's heart were blocked in his throat.
Because, as Jian Yunlan approached.
A strong aroma of marinated food also wafted away...
Mu Jue: "Gulp, gulp."
Tears flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Jian Yunlan walked closer and waved five fingers in front of the dazed Mu Jue: "Hello, are you there? Are you okay? Aren't we going to the upper realm today? And--"
Mu Jue was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly held his hand excitedly, unable to hold back the drooling saliva:
"Brother, you smell so good!"
“…”
Half an hour later.
The golden sky gate that welcomed the spiritual realm immortal to ascend had been waiting there for a long time.
However.
Mu Jue has been eating... eating... eating...
Not that he had a lot of it.
Jian Yunlan’s braised food is mainly prepared for the Taotie. Although he prepares a lot, Jian Yunlan doesn’t want to give too much to irrelevant people. Therefore, he was very stingy and gave Mu Jue a braised egg and two braised chicken feet.
But even so, Mu Jue ate with gusto!
After eating, he would even hold the remaining bones and suck them carefully, making sure that every bit of juice was sucked out before he would stop.
Mu Jue: "This is a good thing, we can't waste it, sniff, sniff, sniff."
Jian Yunlan: "..."
Golden Sky Gate: “…”
Finally, just when Tianmen was getting a little impatient, Mu Jue finally reluctantly put down the last piece of completely tasteless chicken bone and stood up.
"Stand behind me." He whispered to Jian Yunlan.
Jian Yunlan quickly stood behind him.
From that gate in the sky, golden light slowly poured down, enveloping both of them.
The whole world suddenly became silent.
As the golden light flowed, thousands of rays of light fell like waterfalls, and the cry of the phoenix could be heard in my ears. Jian Yunlan felt that the ground beneath his feet suddenly lost its sense of existence, but it didn't seem like he was stepping on empty air. Instead, it felt like it was rising up and flying towards a wider world...
At that moment, the infinite universe, the endless world, and everything in it all spread out before his eyes like a scroll.
It was a very strange feeling.
He was clearly just a mortal body, but in an instant, his blood seemed to be connected to the mountains, rivers and lakes, and every beat of his pulse could be heard echoing throughout the world.
When that mysterious feeling came to an abrupt end, Jian Yunlan stepped on something again.
Not the earth, but... the air.
Jian Yunlan: “?”
The transparent air under his feet seemed to have condensed into substance, allowing Jian Yunlan to stand steadily in the air.
"This is the real mountain and sea plane," said Mu Jue, the Immortal Venerable of the Spirit Realm, who was beside him. He looked around with a cold look in his eyes and spoke slowly, "It is also what people call the 'upper realm'."
"How is it? How does it feel to pass through the Heavenly Gate?" Mu Jue asked.
Jian Yunlan: "Mysterious."
Mu Jue: "You're welcome."
Jian Yunlan: “.”
Loading.
It was as if there was someone else who was engrossed in eating the braised chicken feet!
Coming to the upper realm for the first time, both of them looked around. After taking this look, Jian Yunlan discovered something was wrong.
The mountain and sea plane he imagined should be filled with auspicious clouds, colorful flowers, and a peaceful scene like a fairyland.
But at this moment, there was a bottomless abyss under their feet. In the center of the abyss, a mountain stood alone. The air was filled with obscure gray fog, and the mountain was like an iron wall...
Why does it look like a prison?
Jian Yunlan looked at Mu Jue hesitantly, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Mu Jue: "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Jian Yunlan then said directly: "Uh... Master Immortal... have you ascended to become a jailer?"
Mu Jue: “…”
You are the jailer, your whole family are jailers!
Mu Jue nearly bit his teeth off. He kept repeating the words "roujiamo" and "braised chicken feet" in his mind before he managed to calm down and suppress the urge to kick Jian Yunlan off the cliff.
"The person you are looking for is probably here." Mu Jue said with a dark face, "But I can only send you here. Whether you can see the person you are looking for depends on your own luck."
The person he was looking for...
Taotie, right here?
Jian Yunlan's eyes lit up and he looked towards the prison.
Clearly not a long time had passed, only a few days, but after crossing two dimensions, for some reason, Jian Yunlan felt like he hadn't seen a Taotie for a very long time.
Finally, now they were so close.
I wonder if he had the same feeling when he traveled all the way from the Great Rift Valley of East Africa to find his little Taotie in the dimension of "The Genius Baby is Three and a Half Years Old".
Just when Jian Yunlan was about to jump down, Mu Jue beside him suddenly called him in an awkward voice.
Mu Jue: "Um... braised pork, can you give me some more? Even if it's considered as my travel expenses for bringing you here."
Jian Yunlan became a little stingy: "You haven't eaten enough? No, this is what I left for others. You've already eaten a lot."
Mu Jue was a little anxious, "No, I'm not eating this for myself, I want to take it back for someone else!"
Jian Yunlan: "Who are you bringing it to? Your new jailer colleague?"
Mu Jue let out a crazy and collapsed cry: "...Ah ...
“…”
Mu Jue carried a small bag of braised goods and passed through the heavenly gate they came from.
"Just send it here." said Mu Jue.
Jian Yunlan stood still and said, "Oh, I wish you a safe journey."
Mu Jue nodded, his eyes flickering with a conflicted and hungry light.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and said, "You have someone you are looking for, and I have someone I am looking for. We will say goodbye here, and I am afraid we will never see each other again. Can you give me another lu——"
He turned around and there was nothing behind him.
The person who was standing there disappeared.
Jian Yunlan has already run away!
Mu Jue: “…” Damn it! If I had known this, I would have spoken up sooner!
But, standing in front of the Heavenly Gate once again, there is no point in thinking about those things.
Theoretically, a Golden Immortal who has survived tribulations and ascended to heaven can only cross the Heavenly Gate once. After entering the upper realm, all past causes and effects are severed, and it has nothing to do with anything in the lower realm anymore.
Unless... there is still something unresolved in your mind.
Mu Jue still has some obsession that has not been resolved.
So this time, he bid farewell to everything in the upper realm that had not yet begun, holding a bag of braised goods in his hand, and stepped into the golden light.
He wanted to return to the mortal world to find his mortal husband in a blue robe.
——A hundred years ago, he killed his husband to prove his truth...his mortal husband.
at the same time.
A familiar mechanical voice sounded in Jian Yunlan's ears:
[Congratulations!] Completed the main quest "Use Roujiamo to Inspire the Immortal". 】
[The prerequisites for the ultimate main mission have been met.] 】
[Ding Dong!] The final main quest has been unlocked for you! 】
[Obtained [Ultimate Stall Tricycle] x1.] Note: The end of plus pro max tricycles, one car is better than five! 】
[Obtained [Spell to enlarge or shrink at will] x1.] Note: Any food can be changed in size at will! 】
[The ultimate main quest: Juntian Prison is a prison in the Mountain and Sea Plane where serious criminals are detained. It is equipped with numerous obstacles and is heavily guarded... right? Use hot and fragrant braised goods, braised pig's trotters, braised chicken feet, braised quail eggs, and braised dried tofu to pave a road to heaven in Juntian Prison. Follow the road to find the person you want to meet! 】
A series of brisk ding-dong sounds rang out in Jian Yunlan's mind one after another. All kinds of rewards were being distributed in a mess. It was a bit too noisy for a moment. His head was buzzing and he wanted to mute it.
But after thinking about the system carefully, he came to his senses a little.
The 'ultimate' main quest.
Just the word 'ultimate' is of great significance!
This further indirectly confirms that Taotie is most likely in this Juntian Prison.
Anyway, no matter what, he must try to break into Juntian Prison.
After figuring this out, Jian Yunlan jumped down.
.
The gate of Juntian Prison is mainly black and gold, like a giant altar embedded between heaven and earth.
Compared with the magnificent and terrifying gate, the two jailers standing in front of the gate looked particularly plain and... shabby.
What surprised many people was that the gate of the most heavily guarded prison in this mountain and sea plane was only guarded by two jailers. Because the reason why Juntian Prison can suppress so many vicious criminals is not the number of jailers, but Juntian Prison itself.
——Juntian Prison is one of the most concrete incarnations of the will of Heaven. Heaven directly controls every corner of Juntian Prison.
Except for the warden who holds real power, the existence of most prison guards is symbolic. Rather than preventing prisoners from escaping, the purpose of their existence is more to prevent outsiders from accidentally breaking into the prison and bringing about their own deaths.
After all, none of the prisoners held in Juntian Prison are easy to mess with.
In front of the gate of Juntian Prison.
Both the old and new jailers wore dark iron armor, but they did not look majestic, but rather listless.
They both yawned at the same time.
"Ah..." The new jailer sighed.
"Alas..." The old jailer also sighed.
This was the 3,000th day they had been guarding the gate of Juntian Prison.
The employee benefits in Juntian Prison are good, but the only drawback is that the duty hours are too long.
There is a shift change once every ten thousand days.
The two of them have been standing here for more than three thousand days and nights, but it's not even halfway there, and the day for changing shifts is nowhere in sight. During these three thousand days, the two chatted about everything from gossip about mountains and seas to poetry, songs and life philosophy, but time still passed so slowly.
During the long shifts where they couldn't tell the difference between day and night, the two men gradually became mentally confused.
"Brother, tell me, if we could go to the restaurant in the human market right now, buy a dish of braised food, get a pot of wine, eat while roasting a fire and chatting, how happy we would be..."
The new jailer smacked his lips.
The old jailer was also a little itchy in his heart: "That's right."
——Soon, perhaps because their desire was too strong, the dream turned into reality.
Both of them couldn't help but twitch their noses.
From somewhere, a burst of hot and fragrant stew wafted in...
