Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 15 One Sword Breaks All Laws

Looking around, there was hardly anything normal in the prison. Everyone was behaving themselves, either crying and wailing, begging for mercy, or stubbornly refusing to admit their mistakes, all while shouting and hurling all sorts of foul language.

This is only the shallowest level of the Sinful Cave. It is said that the entire prison is divided into ten levels. The deeper you go, the more serious the crimes of the prisoners and the higher their cultivation level.

Xu Changjun sensed his surroundings; a chaotic atmosphere swirled in the air, making him restless.

Snapped!

A crisp crack of the whip seemed to silence everyone, instantly calming the chaotic atmosphere.

Then a prison guard from the Xu family, dressed in blue, strode over and coldly ordered everyone to be quiet.

Upon seeing Elder Xu Tianyang, the prison guard in blue robes bowed respectfully to him, then made no further move, ignoring Xu Changjun and simply wielding his long whip covered in barbs, the cold sound echoing in the air.

"Want to taste the whip again? All of you shut the hell up. If you say another word, I'll whip you to death."

A complex mix of fear and anger surged within the prison. Faced with the intimidating presence of the blue-clad jailers, most of the prisoners kept their mouths shut.

Although he was mostly suppressing his anger, he seemed to have no other options and was quite afraid, so he obediently dared not utter a sound.

……

Elder Xu Tianyang glanced around without speaking and continued leading Xu Changjun downwards. He gestured, and an array appeared in front of them, slightly opening a portal, allowing the two to descend.

Xu Changjun felt that the entire mountain, including the underground, had been hollowed out, with one staircase after another spiraling downwards.

It was cold and damp, making people feel very depressed.

As Xu Changjun passed through one fortified prison after another, he could clearly sense that the prisoners became stronger the further he went.

Here, there were significantly fewer prison guards on patrol, but each one was quite powerful, at least a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator from a collateral branch of the Xu family.

Of course, the prisoners here are much bolder.

"What, Old Master Xu, who's that kid behind you? Did you secretly have a child out there? You dare bring him here? Aren't you afraid we'll tear him apart alive?!"

"But judging from his appearance, this boy doesn't look like you at all. Could it be that your concubine accidentally had an affair and fathered a child with you..."

Suddenly, a mocking voice came from one of the cells. Xu Changjun looked up and saw a burly man, over two zhang tall, with black skin, uttering foul language.

His upper body was naked, and his skin was covered with knife marks, scars, and sword wounds. They densely covered his entire skin, making him look incredibly fierce.

clap clap!

Two sharp cracks rang out as the whip, with its sharp barbs, lashed the burly man, leaving a trail of blood. He couldn't help but kneel on the ground, his face contorted in pain.

Xu Tianyang reached out and stopped the jailer from killing him, then sneered indifferently.

"Black Arhat, you may be fierce and powerful outside, but here, you're just a prisoner with your cultivation sealed. You're just an ordinary person. If you want to fight, these little guys will have to take good care of you! Otherwise, just shut your mouth."

"You little bastard, your cultivation isn't high, but you're got a tough bone! You should be glad you're in jail, otherwise, someone as stubborn as you would be crushed to dust with a single slap outside!"

With a painful groan, the Black Arhat raised his head, his icy gaze fixed on Xu Tianyang, but his mouth obediently remained closed.

Clearly, the pain from the previous whippings was becoming unbearable for him.

……

Elder Xu Tianyang led Xu Changjun down to the fifth level of the Cave of Sin, then stopped and took him to the outside of a cell.

The gate was open, but there were no people being held inside; it was an empty cell.

"There was a demonic cultivator imprisoned here before. He used blood sacrifice to kill the mortals of two villages under the Yunlu Mountain Range. He was extremely cunning. I had to take action myself. When I captured him, he had already begun to prepare a blood sacrifice to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He was preparing to use the lives of tens of thousands of people in the entire county to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. If it had been a few days later, he would have succeeded."

"I destroyed this demon's foundation, crushed all his bones, and stripped him of all his cultivation, so I only imprisoned him on the fifth floor. He was just executed yesterday, and there is still a lot of demonic energy left inside, which should be the most suitable place for you to refine it."

Elder Xu Tianyang pointed to the interior of the prison and gave a detailed introduction.

Immediately, Elder Xu Tianyang solemnly warned him.

"This is the deepest place I can take you under my authority. Further down are those who have committed heinous crimes within their families or possess strange abilities. No one except the prison guards is allowed to enter. Any outsider found entering will be executed on the spot!"

These words were undoubtedly a warning and admonition from Elder Xu Tianyang.

After all, sometimes a young person's excessive curiosity isn't necessarily a good thing.

"Elder, please rest assured, I will not leave this fortified prison."

Xu Changjun spoke humbly and sincerely, but in his heart he added, "As for whether the flying sword will leave, that's not included in this promise."

Xu Tianyang said no more, simply telling him that he only had one day before leaving, during which time he could cultivate at his leisure.

After Elder Xu Tianyang left, Xu Changjun immediately cleared a clean spot, sat cross-legged, placed a Qingyang sword on his lap, and pretended to be tempering a magic sword.

In reality, he secretly released the Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder Sword, and a bolt of Geng Metal Divine Thunder silently passed through the floor and descended.

"As expected, this prison is not a place for ordinary people."

Xu Changjun's divine soul controlled the Demon-Slaying Thunder Sword, which penetrated the walls layer by layer and extended downwards, searching for its target.

After being refined by his magical power, the Divine Thunder Sword gradually became sentient, able to transform from the real into the illusory, becoming a bolt of Geng Metal Divine Thunder that could break all laws and ignore numerous restrictions and seals.

This was Xu Changjun's true trump card in daring to infiltrate the town's prison and fish in troubled waters.

Otherwise, with Elder Xu Tianyang of the Prison Guard in charge, even if someone has great abilities, it would be difficult to secretly seize someone's Dao Foundation without alarming the old man.

After all, this is evil magic, and it would be terrible if it were discovered.

If I were to be punished according to family rules, I'm afraid I'd end up in this wicked prison with these inmates.

Therefore, Xu Changjun remained cautious. If he succeeded, all the better; even if he failed, he could take the opportunity to temper the magic sword with Yin energy, and there would be no loss.

In his divine state, he could clearly sense that the surging space contained wailing vengeful spirits, which roared around him.
