I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

"You did a great job."

“During this time, I have been busy dealing with the calamities and have neglected to guide you, but you have still made it this far, even more outstanding than I was back then.”

The Qingming Peak Master finally spoke slowly, his tone softening, a far cry from his usual coldness.

Her attitude towards ordinary disciples was naturally different from that towards disciples like Wu Ming, who had almost glimpsed the threshold of the Nine Refinements. The former might be stuck at the Grandmaster level for life, with a lifespan of at most a few hundred years, which was only a short part of her long cultivation path. But someone like Wu Ming, who had the talent to become a Dao Saint, was not only a disciple, but also a future companion.

From the realm of becoming a Saint through nine blood and nine refinements to the realm of immortality after nine tribulations, the relationship between master and disciple is often closer than that between blood relatives or in-laws. Even biological offspring, despite exhausting all resources, may only reach the Grandmaster realm, while the most outstanding disciple may break through to become a Saint within a hundred years, becoming a true helper on the path of cultivation.

This phenomenon is only beginning to appear in the realms of Dao Saint and Martial Saint; it is even more common in the realm of Immortal.

Immortal beings often select the most outstanding and exceptional individuals from among the Dao Saints and Martial Saints who have undergone nine refinements and nine blood trials, taking them as disciples and nurturing them in the hope that they will one day achieve immortality. Once immortality is achieved, their lifespan will be endless, and they will live as long as heaven and earth. Their own descendants, in the long span of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, will be nothing more than a pile of weeds, growing one generation after another, and will have lost all meaning in their eyes.

This is actually one of the reasons why immortal beings rarely appear in the human world. Most of their relatives and friends from back then have passed away. Apart from fellow immortals and enemies, no one can keep up with their footsteps over the long years and watch the world change and the sun and moon alternate. Naturally, their humanity will gradually diminish.

"This disciple is diligent in his practice and dares not slack off."

Wu Ming responded.

The Qingming Peak Master nodded slightly, then said in a kind tone, "The calamity has passed, and I have plenty of free time now. You can ask me any questions you may have about cultivation at any time."

After listening, Wu Ming pondered for a moment and then said, "Reporting to Master, I have recently been studying the laws of thunder and want to comprehend the second step, but I am still lacking a spark of inspiration. I wonder if there are any other places besides the Nine Heavens Thunder Pillar Secret Realm where I can study the laws of thunder?"

"The second step of the Thunder Law, is it?"

The Azure Nether Peak Master looked thoughtful and said, "The Thunder Domain is actually a good place, but I heard from Qinglan that you've already been there once, and it won't open again for many years..."

She paused for a moment, then looked at Wu Ming and said, "There is a place that is a superior place for cultivating the laws of thunder, but it might be a little dangerous for you right now."

"Appreciate further details."

Wu Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke.

The Qingming Peak Master said, “Deep within the Shattered Realm, there is a place called the Thunder Prison Abyss. It is said to be a realm created by the ancient Thunder Emperor. It is filled with the power of thunder and various strange thunder races and life forms, as well as all kinds of rare treasures. Although a Grandmaster can already step into it, although it is also a shattered world, the void intensity is extremely high. Even a Nine Refinement Dao Saint like myself can unleash my full strength there.”

After hearing this, Wu Ming couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

A world where Dao Saints and Martial Saints can unleash their full power is indeed somewhat dangerous, but his current strength is already comparable to many Dao Saints and Martial Saints, and he is ready to step into such a perilous place.

The path of cultivation is essentially about 'struggle'. When you are weak, you can be cautious, but when you are strong enough, you must fight hard. Otherwise, if you lose your spirit and affect your Dao heart, it will become even more difficult to break through to a higher realm.

Besides,

Besides being strong enough to rival a Dao Saint, he also possesses many trump cards such as the Demon Subduing Diagram and the Demon Suppressing Plate. While he may not be able to run rampant among Dao Saints and Martial Saints, he can certainly protect himself without any worries.

Just as Wu Ming was making his decision and preparing to bid farewell to Peak Master Qingming and head to the Thunder Prison Abyss for training, Peak Master Qingming suddenly stood up and said, "I have just survived my tribulation and have nothing to do. I was originally planning to go to the Thunder Prison Abyss myself. Since you need to comprehend the Dao of Thunder, I will take you with me and protect you for a while."

Upon seeing this, Wu Ming was slightly surprised, but he naturally wouldn't refuse and immediately agreed.

quickly,

After resting for a while, Wu Ming set off with the Qingming Peak Master to the main hall of the cultivation holy land.

Upon arriving here again, the same disheveled old man in a straw raincoat was still stationed here. However, this time the old man was kind and amiable. He bowed to Qingming Daosheng as she stepped into the hall and said, "Junior Sister Qingming, congratulations on surviving another tribulation."

"Senior Brother Qiu."

Qingming Daosheng also bowed to the other party, and then said, "I need to take my disciple to the Thunder Prison Abyss."

"Oh."

The old man in the straw raincoat nodded, then turned his gaze to Wu Ming. After only one glance, he smiled and said, "So you are Junior Sister Qingming's disciple. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and you have already entered the eighth level of the Refinement Realm. Your talent is indeed quite good."

In fact, he didn't know much about Wu Ming. After all, when they last met, Wu Ming was only a Seventh Refinement Grandmaster. There were no fewer than several thousand Seventh Refinement Grandmasters in the entire cultivation holy land, and to him, they were like weeds, growing one after another. Although with his level of cultivation, he would not forget Wu Ming after meeting him once, he would not deliberately try to learn about him.

But this time, it was Peak Master Qingming who was taking Wu Ming to the Thunder Prison Abyss. Only Grandmasters could set foot in the Thunder Prison Abyss, which meant that Wu Ming had already entered the Eighth Refinement stage and must have extremely high talent. Otherwise, Peak Master Qingming would not have taken the initiative to take him to cultivate.

"Greetings, Uncle Qiu."

Wu Ming followed behind the Qingming Peak Master and also bowed to the old man in the straw raincoat.

After nodding, the old man in the straw raincoat said nothing more. He immediately manipulated the array in the main hall, broke through the void, and pierced a void passage. This time, the commotion was much greater than the last time he went to the Molten Realm.

"Good work."

The Azure Peak Master spoke to the old man in the straw raincoat, then gestured for Wu Ming to follow. He then stepped forward and entered the void vortex, his figure instantly swallowed up and disappearing from sight. Wu Ming did not hesitate and followed closely behind, stepping into the vortex as well.

During the Seven Refinements, when he stepped into the void passage, he felt dizzy and disoriented, his five senses failed him, and even his consciousness became somewhat disordered, making it difficult to maintain his composure. But this time, when he entered again, he was much more at ease. Although he still couldn't see anything, he could vaguely sense the changes in space and the flow of the void.

Not long after,

Suddenly, everything brightened, and when my vision returned, I found myself in a void.

As Wu Ming focused his gaze and tried to observe the surrounding environment, a thunderclap suddenly rang in his ears. A bolt of lightning exploded a hundred feet away, piercing the dim sky and illuminating the surrounding dozens of miles as bright as day.

"Be careful."

The voice of the Azure Peak Master reached my ears.

"The lightning here, though not as dense as in the Thunder Domain, is much more powerful. Once struck, even if your primordial spirit has reached the eighth level of refinement and is not afraid of this lightning, your physical body... oh, your physical body has also reached the eighth level of blood cultivation. As long as you are not struck by this heavenly lightning continuously, you will not be seriously injured."

The figure of the Azure Nether Peak Master appeared beside Wu Ming, glanced at Wu Ming, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

In fact, Wu Ming's ability to cultivate to the eighth level and reach the pinnacle of strength over several decades is already an astonishing talent. Under such circumstances, Wu Ming still has the leisure to take care of martial arts cultivation.

However, true geniuses are often unbelievable. The Qingming Peak Master was not bound by such conventions. After saying just one sentence, he rode a beam of azure light and headed forward.

Swish.

Wu Ming also rode a beam of light, following behind the Azure Nether Peak Master.

The two traveled hundreds of miles through the dim void until a dark shadow appeared in front of them. Under the illumination of the lightning that appeared from time to time, they could see that it was a giant floating island.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the grandeur of this giant island, which is almost comparable in size to the entire Yong Kingdom.

"This is the first prison of the Thunder Prison Abyss, the Mysterious Embryo Prison, which is also the smallest of the seven prisons in the Thunder Prison Abyss."

The Azure Nether Peak Master gazed at the giant island ahead and addressed Wu Ming.

"Seven Abyss of Thunder Prison?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Wu Ming's eyes.

The Azure Nether Peak Master nodded and said, "That's right. There are seven prisons in this Thunder Prison Abyss. Starting from the Profound Embryo Prison, each prison becomes more dangerous as you go deeper, but the probability of finding all kinds of rare treasures also increases... The entrance to the second prison, the 'Great Bright Prison,' is located at the deepest part of the Profound Embryo Prison."

“Most grandmasters who come to explore the Thunder Prison Abyss stop at the first three prisons and rarely venture into the last four. The last four prisons are basically explored by those who have been called saints, especially the last prison, the ‘Great Luo Prison.’ Even I have to be careful when I walk in it. Some of the most dangerous places are places that I cannot venture into without warning.”

After listening to the words of the Azure Peak Master, Wu Ming finally gained some understanding of the situation in the Thunder Prison Abyss.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master."

"Let's go."

The Qingming Peak Master gave a shout and then led Wu Ming to fly towards the distant island, quickly arriving at its edge.

The entire island exudes immense pressure, making it impossible to enter from above. Only by stepping onto the edge can one escape this oppression.

The Qingming Peak Master was extremely familiar with this First Prison. As soon as he stepped inside, he led Wu Ming forward and quickly went deep into it.

boom!
"Ahhhh!"

Suddenly, thunder roared and screams rang out.

"Save me, let me go, ahhh... No, kill, kill, kill! If I escape, I will slaughter every living being in this world! Ahhh!"

The voice was extremely frantic, sometimes pleading for help, mournful and pitiful, sometimes violent and filled with murderous intent.

Upon hearing this voice, Wu Ming frowned slightly, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Even he was slightly affected, let alone ordinary cultivators. If it were a cultivator at the seventh level of cultivation, just hearing this sound would probably cause them to lose their composure and become disoriented.

The Azure Nether Peak Master's gaze also turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you know why this place is called the Thunder Prison Abyss? Because this is a true prison!"

"This voice comes from a being at the Immortal Realm!"

"It has committed some unknown crime, yet it has been imprisoned here by the Thunder Emperor and subjected to the punishment of lightning for countless millennia, until it has gone completely mad." (End of Chapter)
