Chapter 586: Chapter 278: Yuan Shun’s Secret, Returning to the Jade Balance_2
He calmed himself, organized his language, and began to speak slowly.
“Back then, when the Blood Demon Battlefield broke out, the Sect Master ordered the relocation of the sect to the original mountain gate of the Yuan Beast Sect…”
“…The old site turned into a Corpse Domain, and the new site was also set as the original Yuan Beast Sect mountain gate. Seven years later, Brother Huo Ming encountered danger, and I went to Qian Du’s Profound Immortal Pavilion for support, coincidentally leading me to Daqin…”
Han Yi recounted the events one by one, not trying to be brief, but rather speaking in as much detail as possible.
Old people die, new people replace…
The magic attack on Shu Du, the evil chaos in the Eastern Sea…
“Not long ago, I heard that in this northernmost land, a boundless Corpse Domain appeared, and it was said that there were Outer World Cultivators within it. So I came to search with a trepid heart.”
“I didn’t expect that it would really be you, Sect Master.”
“That’s the whole story, and these are the events that have taken place within my sect and me over the past thirty years.”
Han Yi’s words ended here, and he did not reveal too much about some of the secrets concerning himself.
Yuan Shun’s expression became increasingly rich and vivid as Han Yi narrated. After Han Yi finished speaking, it took him a long time to digest the information, and then he genuinely admired.
“I knew you were not simple, but I didn’t think you were this exceptional.”
“If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to achieve what you have.”
Han Yi laughed lightly, knowing that his success was due to having the Golden Finger, he managed to repeatedly advance and turn danger into safety. If it were any other cultivator, it would be a certain death.
“Sect Master, what about you?” Han Yi asked in return.
Yuan Shun looked at the square-shaped stone in front of him, which was similar to a seal. The stone was unremarkable and white all over, and on top of it was an ancient character ‘狱’.
“This is the Void Prison Seal, an Immortal Artifact of the Supreme level. It is a part of the Void Prison Seal, and it is also a symbol of authority for the ancient ruler of the Nine Layer Void Prison, the Void Prison Immortal Sovereign.”
“It is also the goal of my arrival in the Tianquan World.”
Han Yi was startled, “Sect Master, are you talking about the space below this place when you mentioned the Nine Layer Void Prison? Isn’t it called the Nine Layer Void Domain? I once fell into it in the illusory realm of the Shu Du Shenxian.”
Han Yi had entered the illusory realm of the Shu Du Shenxian before, when Yuan Shun was still in the sect. At that time, Han Yi was still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and this incident was not recorded in the sect and never mentioned to anyone else, so Yuan Shun naturally didn’t know of it.
Yuan Shun nodded, then shook his head slightly.
“Right, but also not quite.”
“Here, in ancient times, it was called the Void Prison Illusion Layer, which is between the real world and the Nine Layer Void Prison, a layer of illusion. Below the illusion layer is the Nine Layer Void Prison.”
“The ‘狱’ here refers to the hell’s prison, not the domain of the world.”
“And the illusory realm of the Shu Du Shenxian is just a corner of the Void Prison Illusion Layer.”
“In fact, in the current Cultivation World, what people refer to as the Nine Layer Void Domain was originally called the Nine Layer Void Prison in the undestroyed ancient Daluo Immortal Realm.”
“Or in a way that might be easier for you to understand, the Nine Layer Void Prison is the Land of Reincarnation in the ancient legends, aka Hell.”
“Since you have visited Taixu seeking immortals, been to a Fragmented Immortal World, and traveled from the Illuminating World to the Tianquan World, you should also know that a 100,000 years ago, the Daluo Immortal Realm was broken into countless fragments, which are the Fragmented Immortal Worlds.”
“And as Daluo broke apart, so did the corresponding other side, the Nine Layer Void Prison, which also experienced simultaneous changes. Many Immortal Venerates and True Immortals, including the ruler of the Nine Layer Void Prison, the Void Prison Immortal Sovereign, either disappeared or met their demise. Even the bizarre immortal demons originally imprisoned in the Nine Layer Void Prison have occupied the Void Prison and made it their own.”
Han Yi’s heart shook violently, knowing that he was about to hear shocking secrets but not expecting that the level involved was so high.
Yuan Shun paused for a moment, took his gaze away from the square-shaped seal, looked at Han Yi, and showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
“I said you are my lucky star.”
“It turns out that you accidentally brought out one of the Void Prison Immortal Sovereign’s Immortal Eyes from the deepest part of the Nine Layer Void Prison.”
“As for the Half Immortal’s Remaining that I initially obtained, it was actually not a half-immortal but a part of the Void Prison Immortal Sovereign’s remains.”
“By coincidence, this Immortal Eye suppressed the remains of the Immortal Sovereign that I integrated with, made up for the incomplete Immortal Sovereign’s legacy within me, and thus restored my condition to normal.”
“If it weren’t for you, I would still be caught between life and death, neither alive nor dead, occasionally awake, occasionally lost, and even if I obtained this Void Prison Seal, I would still return to a confused state.”
“The fate and causes involved are complex.”
Upon hearing this, Han Yi felt both surprise and joy.
What surprised him was that he didn’t expect the mysterious cave mansion token, which brought him down to the deepest part of the Nine Layer Void Prison, to actually be one of the Void Prison Immortal Sovereign’s Immortal Eyes.
However, Han Yi had guessed beforehand that the black pearl he got might be the eyeball of some cultivator, but he never expected that the level of that cultivator would be so high.
And what brought him joy was his unintentional help to his Sect Master during his journey of chasing and returning to the sect across several Cultivation Worlds.
As Yuan Shun said, the cause and effect involved were indeed strange.
Following that.
Yuan Shun further explained the other incidents that took place after the sect’s relocation.
At that time, he had reached the limit of suppressing the remains within him, so he wiped out the Yuan Beast Sect and turned its cultivators into Corpse Puppets, who were then incorporated into the world formed by the sect master’s decomposing remains.
That inner world turned out to be the Corpse Domain manifested in the Tianquan World. Once Yuan Shun lost consciousness, the Corpse Domain would spread out. If he regained consciousness, the Corpse Domain could be taken back into his body.
