Chapter 704: Seven Suns
just now. As the head of the Yao Dao Sect, he is really not easy."Now is a time of great turmoil, and the people are in fear. All factions, big and small, are seeking alliances with each other."Zuoqi...Above a sky of crystal clarity, seven suns hung proudly in the heavens, forming a straight line that radiated intense heat, baking the earth below until it shimmered with unbearable warmth.
This is the sky of prison!
At this moment, Jiang Yun was sitting upon a desolate wasteland, gazing up at the seven suns in the sky. His mind drifted back to what Dao Lian'er had told him about the Dao Prison before he left the Shanhai Realm.
"The Dao Prison is an unimaginably vast prison, divided into nine layers, formed by the convergence of numerous worlds."
The deeper you go, the worse the environment becomes, the poorer the conditions are, and naturally, the lower the chances of getting out.
Although I don't know which layer of the underworld you will be sent to, it is very simple to tell. Just look at the sun in the sky. The number of suns represents the layer you are in.
"The entire Dao Prison is surrounded by countless powerful seals. Anyone who enters it, if they want to rely on their cultivation to forcefully break through, even I wouldn't be able to break these seals."
And the Temple of Tao will have people patrolling Dao Prison at irregular intervals. If they find you trying to escape, you will be punished.
"Within the Dao Prison, there are almost all kinds of races, with numerous creatures. Besides those like you who are called prisoners, there are also many beings born within the Dao Prison."
Besides, upon entering the Dao Prison, your cultivation will not be sealed. There is also spiritual energy and sunlight and moonlight within the Dao Prison, but it is almost impossible to absorb and cultivate them.
"Because the air within the prison of Dao Yu was filled with ever-present poison."
These toxins, even if you don't absorb them, will constantly erode your body, little by little integrating into your system.
Of course, all of this is just hearsay. I'm only telling you the worst-case scenario so you can be prepared. Perhaps it's not as terrifying as I described.
"In short, be careful of everything and everyone once you enter the prison."
After all, prisoners there would do anything to survive, to stay alive. They'd inevitably attack others, especially newcomers like you.
This is the situation of the Dao Prison that Da Lian'er knew, and judging from Jiang Yun's current feelings being in the Dao Prison, Da Lian'er's account was almost entirely accurate.
Ginger Cloud's cultivation within his body was completely unaffected by any suppression or sealing, and his divine sense could be used at will.
The air was thick with a noxious poison. Even if you could hold your breath, the fumes would seep into your body through your pores and skin relentlessly.
These toxins won't kill you, they'll just make you weaker and weaker.
...rendering you utterly powerless, unable to absorb spiritual energy or even utilize your physical strength, leaving you a mere husk, clinging to life with each breath.
Although you can protect your whole body with your own cultivation and prevent the poison from entering, it can only last for a short time. Once your internal spiritual energy is depleted, you will still be unable to escape being invaded by the poison.
The scorching heat emanating from the seven suns above was also a torment for those living among them.
Jiang Yun retracted his gaze from the seven suns, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his face. "The Dao Prison's seven layers... it seems I'm not the worst off. Even though this place is harsh, it's still better than the ninth layer!"
Years of experience have honed Ginger Cloud's personality into one of extreme resilience, and her mental fortitude surpasses that of most others.
Although he is now in prison, he has not given up hope.
Moreover, his situation is really not the worst.
Although the spiritual energy and moonlight here are abundant, due to the presence of toxins, the prisoners who reside here dare not absorb the spiritual energy at will, nor do they dare to use their cultivation.
But Ginger Cloud is different.
He still has chaotic power within him!
The black sun-like cavity in his dantian, formed by the condensation of the Huntian Dao body, could continuously emanate chaotic energy, allowing him to be worry-free.
This alone gave him a significant advantage over other cultivators.
Apart from that, the ever-present poisonous air around him, though he couldn't avoid it, his body had been steeped in a medicinal bath for sixteen years, containing numerous medicinal properties within.
Therefore, he was naturally much less affected by the poison than others.
Most importantly, he is an alchemist!
Although he wasn't sure if he could solve this kind of toxicity, at least he could try.
Moreover, he believed that despite the harsh environment within the seventh layer of hell and the fact that he hadn't seen any other beings so far, there definitely had to be more than just him there.
Since other creatures can live on, then he can too!
Jiang Yun suddenly spoke, “Bai Ze, do you know anything about this prison”
Bai Ze's voice finally sounded after a long time, "I don't know, and I don't want to know!"
"Haha!"
Hearing Bai Ze's tone filled with complaints, Jiang Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's really rare. This seems to be the first time I've heard you admit that there are things you don't know!"
Bai Ze said angrily, "You're still laughing Hurry up and think of a way to get out of here! I don't want to die in this prison with you."
"Let's talk about leaving later. Right now, the most important thing is to find somewhere to stay or figure out if there are other living beings here who can tell us what's going on."
Not only was Bai Ze unharmed, but Xiao Fu and the other five demons residing within the Refining Demon Brush were also safe and sound. This greatly improved Jiang Yun's mood, and he finally stood up.
Looking around, the horizon was nothing but barren land. There was nothing else to see, so Jiang Yun casually chose a direction and walked out.
Seven suns blazed, baking the earth to an unbearable heat. Even Gingercloud's formidable flesh and the flames she commanded within could feel the relentless waves of heat crashing down upon them.
However, Jiang Yun also did not use his cultivation to resist the heatwave.
After all, he will be living here for a very long time, perhaps even forever unable to leave, so he must adapt to this environment as quickly as possible.
Thus, on this desolate land, Jiang Yun walked for three days. Although he still hadn't seen any other living beings, the surroundings gradually began to change, with hills and small mountains appearing.
Even his face lit up with joy, for under his divine sense, he saw that amidst the cracked earth, some green plants were stubbornly growing.
Although these plants and trees are vastly different in shape from those in the Shan Hai world, the fact that they can thrive in such a harsh environment is extremely rare.
And when Jiang Yun's divine sense spread into these plants, he was even more pleasantly surprised to find that they contained pure spiritual energy.
"It seems that even though this prison is surrounded by despair, cutting off all hope for those who enter, miracles can still exist."
However, since these plants and trees contain spiritual energy, they are extremely rare things here, and they are also essential items for cultivators. This means that there must be people nearby!
Just as Gingercloud thought of this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at what was behind him.
In the distance, a thunderous sound of footsteps echoed!
They were a herd of creatures like rhinoceroses, twenty or thirty of them, running furiously.
And every monster has a human figure on it!
First published on the Chinese Novels NetworkCloud's notice, and he made his decision. Although he didn't particularly care about this imperial lineage, since he had the opportunity now, why not try for it!Thinking of this, Jiang Yun's figure al...
