59: Chapter 58: The Four Great Prisons 59 -58: The Four Great Prisons Upon hearing this, everyone chuckled sheepishly, no longer saying anything. They had come up with this idea only after seeing the Second Elder of Luotian Sacred Land resort to deceit. Ye Xuan was right, after all, the Emperor Immortal Sect was destined to rise, and they couldn’t afford to tarnish their reputation for a mere trifle. For the Emperor Immortal Sect, the loss was not worth the gain. And most importantly, they would feel ashamed before their ancestors. “You all prepare for the handover of the Spirit Stone Mine and Medicine Field; I’ll go have a stroll around the prison,” Ye Xuan stood up and said. “Let Youwei accompany you. Apart from the people from Luotian Sacred Land, there are also some taboo existences imprisoned there,” Jiang Jing hurriedly said. Zhou Youwei stood up and walked towards Ye Xuan. “Any disciple will do to accompany me. You should focus on cultivation, which is the main concern,” Ye Xuan waved his hand and said. “Just be careful. In the deepest part of the prison, there are fellow sect members who committed serious crimes, and they might attack you,” Zhou Youwei softly cautioned. “Okay,” Ye Xuan waved his hand and left the Emperor Great Hall. Passing by the Emperor Dao field, Ye Xuan casually summoned a disciple over. “Big brother, what can I do for you?” The disciple, who appeared to be in his twenties, scurried over. “Just joined the sect?” Ye Xuan glanced at the disciple. “I’ve been in the sect for eight years, but I wasn’t originally from Emperor Peak,” the disciple said with a big smile on his face. “Alright, you’ll do. Accompany me to the prison,” Ye Xuan nodded and said. The disciple’s face took on a startled look, and he said with a wry smile, “Big brother, I’ve never done anything wrong, though!” “I want you to show me the way,” Ye Xuan said impatiently. “Oh, that’s it. It’s my fault for not understanding. Big brother, please excuse my mistake,” the disciple immediately switched back to a smiling face. “Are you familiar with the prison area?” Ye Xuan asked. “Hey, there’s no place in the Emperor Immortal Sect that’s a secret to me, Lv Xiuli!” the disciple assured with a slap on his chest. “Lv Xiuli? That’s a fine name,” Ye Xuan observed the disciple, who looked rather slick. Upon hearing this, Lv Xiuli suddenly showed a gleam of Divine Light in his eyes, as if he was energized, and said, “Big brother, don’t be fooled by the somewhat feminine touch to my name. But there’s a significant story behind it, big brother. Have you ever heard of the Divine Tao Stele?” Ye Xuan remained composed and slowly said, “A public countenance, a deserted mound, a lofty appearance, and jade-like features stand tall; the majestic pines straight rise.” Stunned, Lv Xiuli looked at Ye Xuan with a hint of reverence and said, “I wasn’t expecting big brother to know about the legendary Divine Tao Stele!” “Do you know the origin of the Divine Tao Stele?” Ye Xuan asked in return. Lv Xiuli was at a loss for words. Ye Xuan smiled lightly, “I erected it.” Lv Xiuli wore a perplexed expression but said nothing more. This big brother could boast better than he could. “Lead the way,” Ye Xuan said unhurriedly. “Of course, big brother,” Lv Xiuli led the way. Ye Xuan followed behind, with a touch of nostalgia showing on his face. The Divine Tao Stele was indeed erected by him. He had personally erected it to honor the many Divine Generals under his command, naming it the Divine Tao Stele. This stele chronicled the lives of his Divine Generals and stood in the land of abandoned heavens, eulogized by later generations. “Big brother, what brings you to the prison?” On the way, Lv Xiuli spoke up. “Just taking a look. Who knows, I might end up here one day,” Ye Xuan joked. “You must be joking, big brother. You are the Chief Disciple of our Emperor Immortal Sect, the future successor. How could you possibly be sent to prison?” Lv Xiuli laughed. “Could you have imagined, a month ago, that I would be the Chief Disciple?” Ye Xuan countered. The question left Lv Xiuli speechless. Indeed, who could have imagined that a useless, foolish son-in-law would become the Emperor Immortal Sect’s Chief Disciple just a month ago? No one expected it, including himself. Ye Xuan didn’t continue the conversation, nor did Lv Xiuli speak further. After arriving at the prison, Lv Xiuli shivered and said to Ye Xuan, “Big brother, our sect’s prison is divided into the Heavenly, Earth, Water, and Fire Dungeons, and the four Great Elders of Luotian Sacred Land are each locked up in one of these dungeons.” “Besides, there are also some of our sect’s criminals held within.” “It’ said that there are some ancient malefactors who have been imprisoned for a lifetime and still haven’t been released. Be cautious when we go in.” As they spoke, Lv Xiuli and Ye Xuan had already entered the Heavenly Prison. The Heavenly Prison was located at the very top, where prisoners were suspended in the air; two black ropes pulled at each end—one attached to the prisoners’ hands and the other to their feet—keeping the prisoners in a straight line, perpetually suspended in such a manner. In some cells, the bodies had become desiccated, turning into mummies. As soon as I entered the Heavenly Prison, a thick aura of resentment hit me in the face. Inside the last room of the Heavenly Prison, I saw one of the Elders from the Luotian Sacred Land, disheveled and in utter misery. In just two days’ time, this Elder seemed to be barely hanging on. Ye Xuan looked at the Elder and with a slight movement of his Divine Thought, left a mark on him before saying, “Let’s go.” Lv Xiuli continued to lead the way. “Below the Heavenly Prison lies the Fire Prison,” Lv Xiuli said. “The cells of the Fire Prison are made of fierce fire stones, releasing extremely high temperatures at all times. Prisoners who enter, with their Cultivation already sealed, usually can’t withstand the heat for more than half an incense stick’s time before they begin to scream in agony.” As he spoke, Lv Xiuli shivered. Despite the intense heat within the Fire Prison, it felt chillingly cold. “Ah————” As we delved deeper, waves of piercing screams echoed out, sending shivers down the spine.

Upon seeing another Luotian Sacred Land Elder, Ye Xuan did the same as before, leaving a mark unnoticed. Then, led by Lv Xiuli, we proceeded to the Water Prison. Ye Xuan saw Chai Runting once again. At this moment, Chai Runting was barely clinging to life. When Chai Runting saw Ye Xuan’s arrival, two resentful glares flashed in her eyes, but she seemed to lack the strength to speak. Ye Xuan remained indifferent, leaving another mark before continuing onwards. “Next is the Earth Dungeon,” said Lv Xiuli, his face growing solemn. “The Earth Dungeon is the most terrifying of the four prisons. It completely encloses a person in a dark space covered on all sides by earth.” “Those imprisoned here have no Cultivation. Over time, it’s essentially a death sentence.” “The criminals here are all extremely vicious.” “Of course, that Luotian Sacred Land Elder is an exception,” said Lv Xiuli. Soon, they arrived in front of a prison cell. There was a character ‘One’ written in front of this cell. “Inside is that Elder from the Luotian Sacred Land,” Lv Xiuli said. Ye Xuan stepped forward, placed a hand on the cold wall, and with a flicker of his Divine Thought, sensed the presence of that Elder from the Luotian Sacred Land. Without disturbing him, Ye Xuan quietly left a mark on the Elder and then stepped back. Ye Xuan turned his gaze toward the depths of the Earth Dungeon and said in a measured tone, “From what you’re saying, quite a few people are still surviving inside this dungeon?” Lv Xiuli nodded gravely and replied, “There are a total of three hundred cells in the Earth Dungeon, over two hundred of which house prisoners.” “Are they all death row inmates?” Ye Xuan asked. Lv Xiuli nodded and said, “You could say that.” “You may leave now,” Ye Xuan said. “Eh?” Lv Xiuli was slightly bewildered but still respectfully turned to leave. He had barely left when his expression changed dramatically. He heard the sound of clattering from below the Earth Dungeon, as if numerous cells were being opened! “What is the First Senior Brother up to?!” Lv Xiuli felt a surge of fear. Once the Earth Dungeon was opened, the prisoners’ Cultivation would be restored! “This won’t do, I must report this to the Elders!” With a grave expression and swift speed, Lv Xiuli left the dungeons and rushed frantically back to Emperor Peak. Meanwhile, in the Earth Dungeon. Ye Xuan released all the other prisoners, except for the Elder from the Luotian Sacred Land. A foul stench rushed to greet him. With a gentle wave of his sleeve, Ye Xuan dispersed the odor and stared into the darkness ahead without a word. Hissing sounds———— However, within the darkness, a silent slaughter seemed to be underway. In just a brief moment, a dark shadow swiftly emerged, carrying an unbounded ferocity and intent to kill! Thump! As the shadow approached Ye Xuan, it was instantly repelled, flying backward and crashing into the depths. Crack, crack, crack———— The sound of bones breaking filled the air. Ye Xuan looked into the deep darkness and said softly, “War Demon, you have strayed from your path.”
