Although the Immortal Prison King is only a Seventh Tribulation Loose Immortal, he has served as the head of a sect for tens of thousands of years and also possesses the authority over the immortal treasure [Sky Patrol Mirror].
At this moment, his cultivation level is not top-notch, but he was once one of the strongest people below the Demon Lord and others in the early era. The Sky-Patrolling Mirror is his natal spiritual treasure.
Unfortunately, he died at the beginning of the Immortal Dao Era.
After reincarnation, his reincarnation was found by the Celestial Palace. After more than ten thousand years of cultivation, he reached the Seventh Tribulation Scattered Immortal Realm. His natal spiritual treasure has a special effect and can monitor the world.
It was then refined into a celestial artifact by the True Immortal Xuande.
Used to monitor the entire vast immortal realm, the former master of the Immortal Prison King, who had been reincarnated, had refined a new natal spiritual treasure, but the spirit of the Sky Patrol Mirror remained close to him.
He then took the throne of the Immortal Prison King!
It is worth mentioning that reincarnation is not the same as cultivating the "Great Reincarnation Technique". Normally, unless special methods are used, memories of past lives cannot be retrieved.
It's just a similar flower, but it's not the person in my memory. They look alike, have similar understanding, and similar talents, but they are not the same person.
This involves the entirety of what makes up a person; strictly speaking, it's a philosophical question.
The true spirit is only a part of it.
What truly constitutes a person are also their experiences and personality.
The problem facing the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor is that his Daoist partner, who has been reincarnated many times, is very different from the one he remembers. Even if he recalls the memories of that life, he can never go back to the past.
Until the other party's true spirit is completely extinguished in the cycle of reincarnation.
I couldn't bring "her" back from my memory, not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't dare! And I couldn't do it!
after all.
Even if she is rescued, she will only be "her" belonging to Zhulong, "her" in his memory. This is incomplete, and she may even have some small habits that perfectly match his preferences.
Unless one can completely return to the point in time before their fall, bringing them from the past to the present, that is the kind of resurrection that the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor desires, not the awakening of a true spirit.
Otherwise, a powerful being at the True Immortal level.
Having mastered the Dao Fruit of Time, rescuing people from reincarnation is relatively easy; the only problem is getting past the mental hurdle, which is why Wang Yu has always felt it's a philosophical question.
She is not her, and I am not myself.
Memory spontaneously beautifies what is lost and makes up for one's regrets; hence, people often say that the white moonlight that has passed away is the true white moonlight.
A multitude of thoughts raced through my mind.
Including Wang Yu, thousands of demonic cultivators, tens of thousands of Buddhist cultivators, as well as the corpses scattered on the ground and those out-of-control demonic monks, were all captured by the Immortal Prison King and no one dared to resist.
Half a day later.
The True Spirit Realm, the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Boundless Immortal Prison.
The trial proceeded quickly.
There wasn't even any dispute. Even Yin Chahuang and the Reincarnation Monk directly confessed their crimes without any intention of refuting them. This rendered Wang Yu's carefully crafted arguments useless.
I felt extremely frustrated.
Even those with higher cultivation levels dared not argue, which shows that the Immortal Prison King's prestige was immense. He wouldn't be foolish enough to be the first to stick his neck out and provoke the Immortal Prison King's authority.
all in all.
All the demonic cultivators who made a move in the Lion Camel Realm were punished. Those who only robbed without killing anyone were sentenced to three hundred years, while those who killed someone were sentenced to one thousand years.
Those tens of thousands of Buddhist monks were all imprisoned for five hundred years, because none of the demonic monks died, and these lower-level monks were positioned as half victims.
The evil monks, on the other hand, were innocent and were not sentenced.
He was directly transferred to the Demon Cultivation Realm, clearly because his demonic nature was too strong and he could not turn back. Even if he regained his senses, he could only become a demon cultivator from now on.
Because Yin Chahuang and the Reincarnation Monk were the leaders, they were both to serve three thousand years in prison, which greatly surprised Wang Yu, as he hadn't even lived a third of that time!
Would a dignified Transcending Tribulation Immortal be so obedient? Besides, there are other urgent matters in other parts of the human race that require Transcending Tribulation experts, and in the end... that's how it was decided.
The Immortal Prison King doesn't give face to anyone!
Before being taken away, Yin Chahuang winked at him and secretly transmitted her voice, saying, "Don't worry, the Immortal Prison King is only responsive to gentle persuasion. Don't anger him at this time. It will be easier to talk to him about reducing my sentence later. He won't really imprison me for three thousand years."
Thus, in less than half a day.
Inside the Immortal Prison Hall, only Wang Yu remained, being watched by the Immortal Prison King and three Grand Prison Guards, and he felt immense pressure.
"Wang Yu, Lord of the Blood Realm, third disciple of Senior Xuande, from the Demon Refining Domain, is this information correct?"
"yes."
The Immortal Prison King spoke eloquently.
"This whole mess was caused by you. You said that the Buddhist sect sent a demon guardian king, a late-stage Mahayana practitioner, to kill you?"
"It's not killing, it's forcibly converting the younger generation."
"Oh? So how did you defend yourself?"
"I also cultivate the Dao of the Mind and Spirit, and have achieved some success. This time I went to the Lion Camel Realm to inquire about the Dao, seeking more of the Dao's treasures."
"Where is that Demon Clan Protector King?"
"While the stalemate was still ongoing, Senior Yin Chahuang arrived with her men, and the murderer tore through space and escaped. However, we might be able to find clues at the Samsara Temple."
"very good."
The two exchanged questions and answers at an incredibly fast pace, but this efficient method seemed to suit the personality of the Immortal Prison King, just as he was pondering.
Suddenly, the Chief Prisoner of Fujing spoke up.
“Wang Yu, this is all your side of the story. You released your demonic nature and corrupted the cultivators, making you the culprit behind this chaotic battle. Although you were also a victim, that is not a reason for your violence.”
As expected, the classic victim-blaming argument emerged.
If it weren't for the existence of this Grand Prison Master in the Void Dharma Lineage, he would have come knocking on his door long ago when he broke through to the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm, to have a showdown with the King of Hell.
In the exchange of glances across the distance, he could not see any emotion in Fu Jing, but this grudge... he remembered it. All he could say was that the prize pool was still accumulating, and sooner or later it would explode and destroy the entire Void Dharma Vein!
"--hehe.
"The Prison Master Fu Jing must be out of his mind to utter such a victim-blaming argument. Not only did the Samsara Temple send people to bully the weak, but you're saying I'm guilty?"
"If I send my master to kill you, and you crash into a mountain while escaping, I can sue you for environmental damage!"
"You ignorant brat, spouting nonsense!"
Wang Yu spread his hands, looking helpless.
"Let's just discuss the matter at hand. I think you've lived too long and your position is too high. You really think the Immortal Prison Department is your personal fiefdom? With this kind of way of handling cases, tsk tsk... I wonder how many human prodigies have fallen at your hands. What a big official's arrogance!"
Wang Yu kept talking nonstop, putting one hat after another on Fu Jing's head. The whole process was smooth and effortless, with one black pot after another being thrown around.
This caused the latter's original composure and calmness to turn into a flushed face from the rush of blood to her head, and her breathing became much heavier, indicating that she was truly annoyed.
but.
Old Deng's blushing also had a unique charm.
Just as Fu Jing was about to speak, the Immortal Prison King became dissatisfied.
"stop!
“I don’t care what personal grudges you have or who you’re doing this to. If you keep arguing, you’ll all be sent to the frontier to farm.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.
"snort!"
Only then did the Immortal Prison King continue.
“Wang Yu, I know you have been wronged and are resentful. Perhaps when you were fighting against the demon and trying to convert him, those demonic traits were unconsciously released from your spiritual cultivation, but they still had consequences.”
"I will give you an explanation for this matter. Regardless of whether the Samsara Temple is behind it, I will definitely give you sufficient compensation, but... you still need to be punished."
"Internal strife has always been a problem that our Celestial Palace takes very seriously, let alone such a large-scale chaotic war. Too many people have died. If everyone follows suit, the Celestial Palace will not be far from disintegration. Are you aware of this?"
Although he was still unconvinced, he remembered Yin Chahuang's warning and decided to follow the Immortal Prison King's lead.
“What you say, senior, is also what I think. No one wants to see internal strife in the Immortal Palace. I admit my guilt, but…”
Before he could finish speaking...
Fu Jing's eyes lit up, as if he had found a reliance, and he directly interrupted Wang Yu's words: "Instigating internal strife is a capital offense according to the immortal law. One must go to the execution platform. Considering your special circumstances, confinement for ten thousand years is also a reasonable punishment."
Wang Yu frowned; he didn't know much about immortal laws.
But he is good at reading people's expressions and moods.
As soon as Fu Jing spoke, the Immortal Prison King's expression darkened. It was clearly not the punishment he wanted, but since the Immortal Palace's laws did indeed stipulate this, he could only ponder a solution.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yu spoke directly.
"Who said I admitted it? I don't admit it!"
Fu Jing sneered repeatedly.
"Your confession has been recorded by the Sky-Patrol Mirror. No matter how much you try to deny it, it's useless. If you refuse to confess, your crime will be compounded!"
Wang Yu chuckled inwardly, wanting to compound the crime.
"What proof can there be of such deceptive words!"
"I won't admit it! You old bastard, what are you up to by forcing me to confess? Are you some kind of bastard from the Buddhist order, trying to lick your father's toes?!"
Such vulgar language infuriated Fu Jing.
"Verbal abuse, refusal to confess, shouting in court, and showing no remorse whatsoever—according to the law, this should be punished three degrees more severely: beheading, extermination of three generations of the family, and prosecution of the sect…"
The more he spoke, the softer Fu Jing's voice became.
It is obvious that they realized Wang Yu was the third disciple of Xuande Zhenxian. Although this matter was not made public by him, it was recognized by his second disciple, Cangxue Longjun, so it must be true!
Just now, after Wang Yu spoke gently to the Immortal Prison King and confessed his guilt, he acted impulsively and wanted to kill Wang Yu in the same way he always had.
Kong Kongzi had already reported the enmity between the Void Dharma Lineage and him.
We didn't care before because there was no reason to.
Now that it has finally fallen into the hands of the Immortal Prison Department, he thought of restricting it and suppressing Wang Yu's cultivation speed. After all, this fiend has only been out of that world for less than a thousand years, yet he already possesses such terrifying cultivation. What will he be like when he grows up?
As for why he didn't try to resolve the feud, but instead continued to escalate the conflict... we can only say that no one knows what Fu Jing was thinking.
Logically speaking, the matter of suppressing demons in the Ice Prison was arranged by True Immortal Xuande, and the source was Wang Yu's master. If he had explained it properly...
Appeal to their emotions and reason with them.
Sending another generous gift might resolve a grudge. Wang Yu isn't a petty person; he's past the stage where he had to show his strength to avoid trouble when he was weak.
Fu Jing's behavior is not in line with the situation where one person can single-handedly support the Void Dharma Lineage. If everyone were handled in this way, the Dharma Lineage would have been gone long ago.
At that time.
The Immortal Prison King frowned as he looked at him, sensing that something was off about this old subordinate. In the past, whenever he spoke, the three Grand Prison Masters would almost never object.
This situation has never happened before.
Something's not right!
However.
Wang Yu didn't care about any of that. He could easily catch the bait he threw out. How could he let the other side go so easily?
He immediately started grinning.
"Very well, Lord Fu Jing is upright and incorruptible, I, Wang, accept it. Come on... kill me, and imprison my master, come on! What are you all standing there for!"
The two rows of Immortal Prison soldiers around him looked at each other, not daring to move an inch. Who would dare to arrest this Crown Prince of the Immortal Palace? And even interrogate him... Fu Jing must have lost his mind.
At this moment, Fu Jing's face was pale.
All thoughts in his mind vanished, and he hurriedly said to the Immortal Prison King, "My lord, I misspoke. Please help me check with the Sky-Patrolling Mirror."
"well……"
The Immortal Prison King sighed, then summoned the square mirror hanging high in the hall and shone it on Fu Jing, who fainted without any resistance.
The light from the celestial mirror shone continuously, and in no time...
A transparent, caterpillar-like thing crawled out of Fu Jing's forehead. The Immortal Prison King took it into his palm and said with a solemn expression.
"Mind-Controlling Love Poison... a pseudo-demon technique!"
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Wang Yu frowned deeply.
The False Demon is a new demon race born from the Primordial Demon Race ten thousand years ago. Their innate ability is disguise, making them extremely suitable for the profession of spy.
Possessing abilities similar to advanced disguise techniques, if one cultivates them to a high level, one can even disguise the laws of others and temporarily master them. The methods are varied but not refined, but the ability to disguise oneself is outstanding.
The primordial spirit, magical power, and aura can all be faked.
Its abilities are 70% similar to those of the Myriad Transformations Talent, so Wang Yu had specifically looked into it and even suspected that it might be a new demon created by the Blood Spirit Demon Clan on the corpse of the Myriad Transformations Demon Clan.
after all.
The Myriad Transformations Demon Clan is a disguise of the Heavenly Demon bloodline. They once caused great chaos in the Origin Demon Realm, but their abilities are by no means weak. It is only natural that the current Blood Spirit Demon Clan would covet them and want to reproduce them.
The cultivation world is also constantly moving forward.
Ancient methods have their advantages, and new methods have their own strengths. The Immortal Dao Grotto Heaven Method was the first to be perfected by the True Immortal Xuande, who was the first to reach the level of attaining enlightenment.
However, this method cannot be said to be perfect; it is still on a path of continuous improvement.
Right now.
Having discovered the clues about Fu Jing, the Immortal Prison King had no choice but to bow his head and explain to Wang Yu.
"Young friend Wang...look at this..."
"compensation."
He was reasonable, but he wanted to destroy the Void Dharma Lineage with his own hands, regardless of whether it would be affected. Hatred is hatred. The pseudo-demon who attacked from behind had a clear purpose: to incite infighting among the human race.
Wang Yu has never been one to consider the bigger picture.
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Prison King breathed a sigh of relief.
Given the current situation, the only concern is that Wang Yu will refuse to budge, so compensation would be a more acceptable option, he immediately responded.
"Don't worry, the compensation will definitely satisfy you. As for the punishment plan..."
"I will exercise the privileges of a realm lord."
"Phew, no problem."
Because of this incident, the Immortal Prison King neither wanted to severely punish him nor let it go easily, lest it damage the prestige of the Immortal Law. The Realm Lord's privilege was just right; although he would also have to go to jail, he could enjoy the highest level of treatment.
Your sentence can be reduced by 50%!
"Then... let's just symbolically lock her up for ten years." (End of Chapter)
