His spiritual power was locked, yet his height could actually be restored? Overjoyed, Wang Yao couldn't help but want to carefully sense the various reactions of his immortal body, naturally unwilling to be carried around like a lantern by the patrolling celestial generals.
“Wang Xian, there’s a time limit for us to take you to the Immortal Realm. If you keep moving at this slow pace, we don’t know when you’ll arrive. Don’t make things difficult for us,” Duan Tian said, frowning.
“I’ll just walk a few steps. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt like an ordinary person. There should be cross-border passages along the way, right? The time given to you by the higher-ups must have taken into account my lack of cooperation. They won’t leave you no room for maneuver.”
“I won’t push my luck. Let me go for a while. When you feel that there’s really no time left, then you can drag me away. What do you think?” Wang Yao said with a smile as he discussed with Duan Tianjiang.
"Okay... alright... but let's make it clear, I'll make things convenient for you, and in return, please make things convenient for me too." Duan Tian hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
This is where Duan Tianjiang's years of experience in capturing celestial criminals come in. Wang Yao not only fell from his ministerial-level leadership position in the Heavenly Court, but he is also very likely to become a prisoner of the Heavenly Court. The change in his status is too drastic. In Duan Tianjiang's experience, such celestial criminals are very likely to encounter accidents.
Therefore, in general, when encountering such situations, it is best to offer assistance whenever possible, as long as it does not affect the final completion of the task. Maintaining the stability of the prisoner's emotions is especially important.
Moreover, Duan Tianjiang personally witnessed Wang Yao's height return to normal. Although it was highly likely that Wang Yao was just faking it, based on what he knew before, it was highly probable that Wang Yao destroyed his cultivation level to clear the poison, and it was normal for him to exhibit some unusual phenomena after returning to the mortal realm.
Duan Tianjiang had witnessed too many immortals' behavior after their spiritual power was locked, so he had a certain understanding of Wang Yao's current feelings. The saying "a dragon swimming in shallow waters is mocked by shrimp, and a tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs" refers to special circumstances.
In fact, regardless of the type of creature, when it falls from the very top of the food chain, it will generally receive some kind of compensation from the natural order.
For example, if an emperor loses his throne and becomes a commoner, as long as he is not killed by his enemies in time, he will generally live a long life and often die a peaceful death, because there will always be people willing to wholeheartedly help him.
Why? Because the airs and demeanor cultivated over years at the top of the food chain naturally attract the admiration of creatures at the bottom. Therefore, one cannot become an emperor; if one can contently live as a humble farmer, one can peacefully spend one's remaining years.
Wang Yao was originally a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana realm. Even if he destroyed his own realm, he would still be at the level of refining the void or transforming the spirit. Now that he has suddenly fallen to the mortal realm, how could he be an ordinary existence among mortals? It is impossible for his body to be incomplete. Therefore, in a short period of time, his body has fully recovered.
Of course, this is also because Wang Yao really fell from the Mahayana realm. If he had only suffered some minor injuries, the so-called drop in realm would still have been compensated by the Heavenly Dao, but it wouldn't have been so obvious.
Therefore, there is one more thing that Duan Tianjiang did not tell Wang Yao: Wang Yao's current drop in cultivation level is probably irreversible.
Following the directions of the patrolling celestial general, Wang Yao walked step by step towards a heavily guarded interdimensional passage leading to the Immortal Realm that had already been cleared out in the interdimensional hall.
Along the way, he discovered that although most of the foreign gods, as well as immortals, demons, gods, monsters, and ghosts, were locked in their respective isolation rooms, some foreign gods and beings from the six realms were still active in the hall. When they saw Wang Yao, they all immediately stopped and stared at him with complicated expressions.
It seems that the Erpi Pass Interdimensional Hall is now jointly managed by the Ocean Realm and the Heavenly Court, which is different from the situation when he first arrived here. Could it be that the Heavenly Court made many concessions to the Ocean Realm during his isolation?
"Who the hell is this? It seems like he's done something pretty serious."
"Who else could it be? Wang Yao, of course..."
"Wang Yao? Is that the culprit behind the nuclear catastrophe that the foreign media are talking about?"
"It's him! Who else could it be?"
...
"Give me back my colorful world!" Suddenly, a foreign god roared at Wang Yao.
"Give me back the Xuanwu Realm! Give me back my wife and children!"
"Give me back the medieval world! Give me back my parents..."
...
The atmosphere in the interdimensional hall suddenly became tense. The patrolling celestial generals were on high alert, escorting Wang Yao forward slowly. Wang Yao, on the other hand, was getting more and more used to the feeling of being a mortal, and his steps were even lighter than at the beginning. They were about to enter the interdimensional passage.
"This kid's still scared!"
"Of course we're afraid! We'll drown him with a single spit from each of us in the foreign concessions!"
"You said spitting, why didn't you spit in that traitor's face just now?"
"Fakmi, I've been so caught up in my anger that I've forgotten..."
...
"I want to walk around a bit more..."
"What did we agree on before?"
"I haven't even walked a few steps... Has time really run out?"
"Once you've crossed the interdimensional passage, you're no longer in the lower realm. You can't keep the judges of the Celestial Discipline Inspection Commission waiting for you at this slow pace, can you?"
"Well... okay, if you're going to do me a favor, I'll do you a favor..."
In the end, Wang Yao realized that he had been fooled by Duan Tianjiang. This man did not send him to see any judge of the Celestial Discipline Inspection Commission at all, but instead directly dragged him into the Zhenxie Heavenly Prison.
"What are you doing here, kid? Did you come here to keep me company since I'm bored?" Zhao Cai was quite happy to see Wang Yao. He hopped and skipped down from the wall, teasing Wang Yao while casually going through the handover procedures with Duan Yu.
"Huh? Why is it temporary detention? Shouldn't the responsibility for temporary detention lie with your patrol general's office? Why is temporary detention being sent here to me?" Zhao Cai asked in surprise, looking at the documents Duan Yu handed him.
