Chapter 375 Prisoner?!
Although the Snow Fox Robe can't conjure a shovel, its sword form is perfect for digging. It can cut off a perfectly square piece and carry it away.
Efficiency cannot be slow.
Her natal demon treasure is also quite interesting. Combined with the [Heavenly Fox Five Transformations] divine power inherited from her bloodline, it's equivalent to having five sets of abilities at her disposal.
It is sufficient to deal with any situation, and as long as you focus on one supernatural power, you don't need to spend much time and energy. One can do the work of five, which is really useful.
The little fox, acting as the laborer, dug with great effort.
Wang Yu didn't rest either.
After determining the location, he began digging towards the location of the scripture pavilion. He wanted to see the black stone tablet, the contents of which were truly intriguing.
Taiyin You Tong is already quite outstanding.
If one were to inherit a top-tier supernatural power, that would be even more delightful.
Half a day later.
He dug out a passage, and the space of the underground palace's scripture pavilion was also completely cleared out. The old rocking chair at the entrance had rotted into ashes.
Enter through the front door.
The black stone tablet came into view again after many years.
"Was that Zhu Qifeng of the Taiyin Sect left behind?"
As expected, it was the Taiyin Sect. Wang Yu easily recognized the first few characters, but as he deciphered more information, he realized that it did not seem to be a supernatural or secret technique.
Rather, it is simply a record of information, as if it were specially left for those who come after.
The contents recorded on the stone tablet surprised him even more.
"In ancient times, the world was a vast ice plain? And the Ice Clan were the rulers of this land?"
The ancient times recorded on the stone tablet refer to that era. If we were to translate it into modern times, it would be a distant era before the distant past, a time when we know almost nothing about it today.
Wang Yu suppressed his wandering thoughts and continued reading with curiosity.
In the information left behind by Zhu Qifeng, these contents were only mentioned briefly, while a large amount of text was spent recording them from the beginning of the Immortal Dynasty.
According to him...
Humans are not native to this world; they came from beyond the boundary. Envoys from the Celestial Palace led their people to occupy Tianyuan in the Ice Prison Realm.
This marks the beginning of the ancient celestial dynasty.
Over countless years, the human race has multiplied and grown stronger, while ancient demons from beyond the heavens have been sealed away in the Ice Prison Realm by powerful beings. These seals have caused the human race to split into various parts of the world.
The tribes separated from each other and gradually developed different customs and habits. The transformation of the laws of the Ice Prison Realm also began from this point, and the ice plains that covered the entire world shrank to the north.
The Ice Clan was also driven inside. They could not adapt to the world modified by the powerful human beings and could only survive in the primitive soil. Ultimately, this was because the laws of the world had changed.
Wang Yu received all of this shocking information.
He was speechless for a moment.
It turns out this world is called the Ice Prison Realm, and the ancient demons were specially captured and sealed by powerful beings from outside the realm, which perfectly confirms the name of this realm.
It truly is a prison!
Since it's a prison, then the original hegemonic power of the ancient immortal dynasty must have been the prison guards.
No wonder even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't break the ancient demon seal and could only slowly pry it open with sacrificial rituals. Over time, demonic inheritance began to flourish in the Ice Prison Realm.
During a brainstorming session.
Wang Yu continued reading, and the stone tablet recorded the reason for the destruction of the ancient immortal dynasty, which stemmed from human desires.
After the Celestial Palace envoys built this world-class prison.
They left behind a sufficient number of people and departed. The descendants of these people spent their entire lives in the Ice Prison Realm and had heard their ancestors' descriptions of the outside world.
A longing naturally arises.
As a result, the thinking of the "prison guards" changed, and a group of people wanted to leave the Ice Prison Realm and see the real vast world.
Rumors of ascension spread throughout this world.
They attracted more like-minded partners, and their chosen method was to continuously sacrifice living beings to release ancient demons, hoping that the power of these demons could break the world's blockade.
The earliest legends of immortals descending to the mortal realm originated from this.
The Immortal Dynasty was destroyed because of the ancient demon—[Kill]!
This connects to the situation of the Asura Sword Master and the Rakshasa Demon Master; it was nothing more than a cataclysmic battle, in which they were ultimately sealed back into the desolate ancient plains.
After the fall of the Immortal Dynasty, the cultivation world was cut off from its lineage.
Subsequently, the Taiyin Sect rose to prominence.
At first, they were unaware of the truth of the world. As they explored step by step, they gradually realized that releasing the ancient demon would attract immortals to descend to the mortal realm.
So he started thinking of other ways.
For example... the Moon!
As one of the supreme stars among all the celestial bodies, it itself projects countless worlds. The Taiyin Sect wants to use the Taiyin Star as a means to directly teleport itself to other worlds with moons.
This was undoubtedly a brilliant move.
The jailer didn't have the key, and therefore dared not release the prisoner.
"Resigning and leaving" seems to be a clear path, and the Taiyin Nether Eye is the key. This supernatural power, the weak connection with Taiyin Star, the teleportation eye technique... are all for the purpose of leaving the Ice Prison Realm.
Unfortunately, it ultimately failed.
This eye technique, before it could be developed to the fifth level, was discovered by those secretly monitoring this realm.
The inscription on the stone tablet ends here.
The last sentence says—【Beware of the thief with the ability to see through things】!
The final result was predictable even without Wang Yu's knowledge: the Taiyin Sect was destroyed silently, and the Void Saint Sect took over their position as the overlord of the Ice Prison Realm.
They perished many years later, the specifics of which are unknown.
Then we arrived in ancient times.
At this point, there was no longer an overwhelming overlord who unified the Ice Prison Realm. Instead, Taihu and Chiyuan were separated, completely dividing the cultivation traditions into righteous and demonic ones.
Thinking about it.
Wang Yu gradually pieced together the history of this world. Although there were still many gaps, he knew the most crucial moments.
The whole process can only be described as simple.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. The more attempts our predecessors made, the more traces they left behind, and the easier it was to discover the truth over the generations.
According to this theory
The top cultivators of the five demonic sects and the seven righteous sects should all know this secret, which explains why the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect has fixed quotas for exploring the hidden realm for every Core Formation cultivator.
This is a project dedicated to collecting information left behind by our ancestors, but the most important parts are already known. We are piecing together the truth of each era, and it's okay to take it slow, since there's no rush.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu's thoughts shifted.
Are they also trying to break free from the constraints of the rules?
Since ascension is fake, those old monsters who don't want to stay at the Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation stage forever will inevitably try to break through.
The "liberal faction" of the Immortal Dynasty made the extreme choice to release the ancient demon.
This method was proven wrong, but the Blood Demon Rebellion still broke out at the end of ancient times, which shows that they were forced to do something desperate and had no other choice.
After the Blood Demon's Rebellion, the cultivation world was once again plunged into a period of stagnation.
The current cultivation world was built from the ruins of ancient times. So many generations have tried, what method will people choose now?
He thought of Xie Xie'an. Could the Blood Demons' plan be to release the ancient demon [Slaughter]? The problem is that they haven't reached the Nascent Soul stage yet, so they probably wouldn't have such an idea.
What deserves attention is the [Heavenly Refining Demon Sect]!
They instigated one battle after another between good and evil, their target being the ancient demon [Life] suppressed at the gates of the Void Heaven Sword Sect. This thing might be quite special.
Otherwise, the Refining Heaven Demon Sect wouldn't be so persistent.
What about the Yellow Springs Temple?
What impressed Wang Yu most about them was that they created the desolate desert, a place devoid of spirits, and showed no signs of stopping.
Could it be that they intend to destroy the Ice Prison Realm?
Without the fundamental element of heaven and earth's spiritual energy, the laws established by immortals might also lose their foundation and collapse.
Wang Yu was merely speculating wildly about this idea.
After all, even the most extreme person wouldn't do something like this.
And then there's Taiyin You Tong. This is just a small branch, yet it has managed to leave behind information and inheritance. Wouldn't the Taiyin Mountain Gate and other branches be able to leave behind even more?
However, Wang Yu had never heard of anyone else using the Taiyin Nether Eye, and he himself had used it openly more than once. If the patriarch of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect knew this information...
They must have talked to him, but nothing came of it.
This made him feel that the Taiyin Gate might have been completely destroyed.
What's the reason? Did you find the right key?!
This answer might be difficult for others, but for him, simply leaving it in the storage space to warm it up will eventually allow it to level up, and he will surely be able to solve it in his lifetime.
This black stone monument reveals too much information.
The ensuing thoughts and speculations caused Wang Yu a terrible headache, and even left him feeling utterly exhausted.
This is the truth.
It was even more despairing than when he was forced into becoming a spirit slave.
also.
The inscription on the stone tablet reminded him of the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Following Ear from the myths and legends of his past life. If there were even stronger "prison guards" outside the Ice Prison Realm, they would be watching over this place at all times.
How to break this deadlock?
There's no clue yet.
However, the fact that he had been cultivating in prison for so long left Wang Yu unable to describe his current feelings in words.
"The immortal ancient demons are prisoners, and so are the beings of this world!"
As an artificial key, the Taiyin Nether Eye may or may not be useful. Wang Yu cannot place all his hopes on it, since the entire story has not yet been unlocked.
This thing should be used sparingly; if that "clairvoyant thief" discovers it, he'll be finished.
If he were a jailer, his attention would definitely be on those Nascent Soul cultivators who had a chance to break the deadlock, and he wouldn't pay attention to a minor character in the Core Formation stage.
This information greatly broadened his horizons.
This allowed Wang Yu to assess the current situation from a broader perspective: there is no single ruler who can unify the country, and all factions have their own agendas.
He didn't consider himself to be someone with extraordinary intelligence.
It's just that they're not stupid.
After standing there for a long time, Wang Yu rallied his spirits. Regardless of whether he could escape the Ice Prison Realm, strengthening himself was the top priority, and improving his strength was never a mistake.
We still have to proceed step by step.
Once he understood this, his spirits returned, and he acted as if he had never seen the stone tablet.
immediately.
Wang Yu tried to use the Ice Dragon Flame to burn the black stone tablet, but he didn't know what material it was made of, and even the fourth-order spiritual flame couldn't damage it in the slightest.
However, he did not want others to see the information about the Taiyin Nether Eye, so he took a few steps closer, grabbed the black stone tablet, and pulled it out forcefully.
Despite being only about ten feet tall, this thing was incredibly heavy, as heavy as an ancient mountain. It was placed at the very bottom of the Sea Heart Ring.
Only then did I feel relieved.
In the future, unless absolutely necessary, he will no longer use the extraordinary eye technique of Moonfall, and at most he will use the abilities of Moon Gazing and Illusion Moon.
"Aww! Master, come quick!"
Upon hearing Xueyu's call, Wang Yu swept the entire Sutra Repository to the ground before quickly arriving at Xueyu's side.
What she discovered was a completely dead corpse demon.
It was the same body that Wang Yu had encountered back then.
He died right at the entrance of the Ningyue Hall, the main hall of the underground palace, without any injuries. He just lay there stiffly on the ground, as if he had been attacked by a divine sense.
Wang Yu's eyes were serious.
Judging from the lineup that entered the underground palace at that time, Situ Hong may have possessed offensive divine sense techniques. The problem is that he was only at the Qi Refining stage at the time, so how could he possibly use his divine sense to kill a Foundation Establishment Corpse Demon?
If they truly possessed this ability, they would have already seized the greatest benefits of Xuan Gu Mountain. They wouldn't be afraid to even touch a second-tier Zhen Gu Lion, lest they incur bad luck.
From this perspective...
The probability of it being done by that "Heavenly Eye Thief" is quite high. The corpse demon has revived... Could this corpse be the one left by Zhu Qifeng, the person who left the message?
In that case, it must have been discovered quite late.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to leave the underground palace alive. This "Heavenly Eye Jailer" is far outside the Ice Prison Realm, and there should be unknown limitations to his actions. Thinking of this.
Wang Yu collected the body and instructed Xue Yu.
"Continue the cleanup; this underground palace must be completely restored."
"knew."
Noticing Wang Yu's change, Xue Yu worked even harder to clean the underground palace, and after several days, the relatively small palace was finally cleared out.
Wang Yu inspected each building one by one, but ultimately failed to find a second stone tablet, leaving Xue Yu puzzled.
He personally destroyed this place with the Yellow Springs Great Handprint.
After the underground palace disappeared, only a turbid yellow liquid, corroded and washed away, remained. Not even a single square stone was left, and the underground space was re-compacted.
Wang Yu clapped his hands as if nothing had happened.
"Let's go, to our next destination."
Xueyu jumped into Wang Yu's arms, watching the Xuan Gu Mountain gradually disappear into the distance, and wisely asked no questions.
The trip to Xuan Gu Mountain has officially come to an end.
The impact on Wang Yu was enormous, as if another mountain had been added to his already heavy burden, pushing him to the brink of collapse.
In such cases, relaxation therapy is the standard approach.
Unfortunately, his confidante was not by his side, and he was still on the run, a situation that evokes pity.
We flew south, following the map.
Our target this time is [Dragonfall Valley].
The battle also allowed him to relax a bit. The legendary Dragon Blood Vine Demon of this place was a good opportunity to test its strength, having experienced the upper limit of the innate demonic fetus being raised.
His physique is actually within the third tier range, and he still has the potential to grow; he has not yet reached his limit.
Wang Yu then prepared to cultivate in Fallen Dragon Valley for a period of time.
He had consumed numerous body-refining tonics, and his body still retained the pent-up medicinal power. Digesting it through battle and gradually releasing the potential of his physical body was a good approach.
He had used it during his Foundation Establishment stage, so of course he could use it now. Moreover, the Dragon Blood Vine Demon, judging from its name, is a dragon-type creature. He had never tried a secret medicine made from plant-based dragon blood.
Let's see how it goes.
As they flew along, they passed through a place called Qingyuan City. Wang Yu took a few more glances at it, as it was already very close to the Northern Broken Mountain Range.
There is likely evidence of Mara's activities.
I just walked around and left without finding anything.
Until ten days later.
—We've arrived at Dragonfall Valley!
The third update is complete.
