Chapter 894: Chapter 2: Sky-north Prison [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

"Eh?"

Empress Feng turned around and saw a young man in a black robe standing behind her, holding several exquisitely packaged food boxes in his right hand, with wafts of fragrance drifting from the boxes.

He had lifted the hood of the black robe, revealing a face with bright, clear eyes. Who else could it be if not her beloved disciple?

"Chu Liang, how did you get out?" Empress Feng asked in surprise.

"Sky-north Prison never really restricted my personal freedom," Chu Liang said with a smile. "I just need to be careful not to be discovered when going out, and check in every evening."

Since the proposal by Venerable Wanfa, Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had spent quite a while deliberating before finally voting to approve this course of action.

The reason for the extended discussions was that there were still several high-ranking members of the Immortal Sects who doubted this matter.

Once the Demon God Origin was eradicated, a new godly force was very likely to emerge soon, and the existing members of the Human Clan had never experienced an era with a godly presence. However, according to history, the emergence of something godly often came with the unification and rise of a race, and the current structure of the Mortal Realm would inevitably be disrupted.

Those who supported the eradication of the Demon God Origin felt that as long as the Demon God existed, it would be a great threat. Whichever godly force emerged, it would at least not be worse than the Demon God.

Although among the existing Limiters, only a few were from the Human Clan... perhaps some Immortal Sects might have hidden Limiters, who knows?

The final voting result indicated that it was very probable.

On the second day after the action commenced, rumors spread throughout the Immortal Cultivation World.

It turned out that ever since the Battle of Mount Shu, Chu Liang of Mount Shu, who had secretly raised the Heaven Devouring Beast, had been secretly imprisoned in Sky-north Prison. Recently, he could no longer withstand the torture and finally surrendered the Heaven Devouring Beast.

The once darling of Immortal Sects and hope of Mount Shu had fallen to such a state, which inevitably caused sighs of lament.

Rumors began circulating among the folks, claiming that Chu Liang’s rapid rise was aided by the power of the Demon God. Otherwise, how could a mere young man accomplish what so many powerful individuals could not? It was clear there was external assistance involved.

Therefore, he was not worthy of sympathy.

Empress Feng also came to visit Chu Liang at Sky-north Prison after hearing these various real and fake news, to check on his situation—and incidentally to engage in eating, drinking, and gambling.

"You should have said so earlier," Empress Feng said as she took out a scroll and shook it. "I was thinking if you were having a tough time, I’d have to rescue you. I even wrote the rescue plan here."

Chu Liang gave a wry smile.

This matter was kept confidential, as only Venerable Baize, the four Zhenshan Elders, and about thirty Peak Masters were informed by Master Wen Yuan at Mount Shu; none of the others knew about it.

He took the scroll from Empress Feng, blinked, and said, "Master, this is a plan for robbing the execution grounds."

"Oh, I got it wrong." Empress Feng then pulled out several scrolls. "This is for assassinating the Emperor... this is for robbing the Immortal District... this is for attacking Yu Capital City... this, this is for raiding Sky-north Prison."

Chu Liang’s hair stood on end. "Master, this clearly isn’t something you prepared on the spot. How is this for saving me? You’re really just indulging in your own hobbies, aren’t you?!"

"Hey," Empress Feng waved her hand, "it is just being prepared for any situation."

Who else would prepare these kinds of things?

You are really the great menace of the Yu Dynasty, aren’t you?

Chu Liang looked at his master and couldn’t help but shake his head; some things are truly ingrained in one’s bones, truly worthy of being naturally mischievous.

The master and disciple chatted for a while, and upon seeing that Chu Liang hadn’t undergone the rumored severe torture, Empress Feng felt relieved and decided to return to the mountain.

Before leaving, she glanced one more time at Sky-north Prison and shouted into it, "Old Deng! You better sleep with your eyes open from now on!"

...

After Empress Feng left angrily, Chu Liang reluctantly entered the city gate, where the soldiers on the walls recognized him and opened a small door to let him pass.

Chu Liang walked on foot through three city gates until he finally arrived at the towering prison.

The entire Sky-north Prison had not a single door or window.

He stood outside the iron walls, placed his hand upon them, and soon a white light shone, automatically opening a passageway like that of a secret realm, and he walked into it.

This prison was directly linked to Vice Warden Zuo of the Regent Residence, who mastered the enduring path of Five Elements Yang Metal. As long as he was in charge, the prison was impenetrable.

Thus, the initial step of Empress Feng’s prison-breaking plan was to locate Zuo Ci’s hidden family members outside, using his loved ones as leverage to coerce him into leaving the place.

After Chu Liang entered, there was a long corridor ahead, flanked by thick barriers, and behind each layer of barriers, a suppressed powerful being was held. The Xiao Sisters among others, including Immortal Yuan Lu, were all imprisoned here.

In Sky-north Prison, there was never such a thing as a door.

As Chu Liang continued deeper, he reached the end of the corridor, which was his destination. He placed his hand again on the wall, feeling its icy touch, and then a doorway opened.

It was a large prison cell, different from the others as it had no formations, Talismans, or suppression artifacts. Instead, there were heaps of colorful toys, all appearing to be for young children to play with.

And indeed, there was a small child deep asleep in the middle of the room, her skin translucent and her body plump and rosy, dressed in a small white dress, resembling a fairy-like immortal.

If they continued to keep Tuntun inside the White Pagoda, the Demonic Clan would not sense the presence of the Heaven Devouring Beast and would not deploy the true origin of the Demon God. Their focus would always remain on Chu Liang, and he would never dare to descend the mountain casually.

Although it was somewhat risky now, it was also a method to resolve matters once and for all.

Whether it was sensing Chu Liang’s presence or smelling the food in the box, Tuntun rolled over abruptly, her large eyes still slightly befuddled, and looked towards Chu Liang, muttering, "Hungry—"

Imprisoning a Heaven Devouring Beast was something that could only be achieved with Chu Liang’s help, as he could make Tuntun listen obediently. Otherwise, even the Demon Suppression Tower had never truly imprisoned a Heaven Devouring Beast.

Therefore, Sky-north Prison straightforwardly did not impose any restrictions on Tuntun; with their existing methods, they indeed couldn’t confine her. Even the so-called enduring path might just take a few more bites to breach.

"Hehe, here it comes." Chu Liang sat on the floor and opened the food box.

It was filled with sweets and fried foods, the enticing aroma instantly catching Tuntun’s attention.

Under Chu Liang’s feeding, the little one now had a preference for sugary and oily treats, even disregarding Spirit Plants that she previously enjoyed.

Watching her happily munching on a fried chicken leg, Chu Liang also settled down to focus, immersing his Divine Sense into the White Pagoda.

The big-headed babies inside were diligently at work, he smiled as he watched the hardworking Enlightenment Puppets, and fed them another Spirit Plant.

These days had certainly been exhausting for it.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, even if they acquired this puppet, they might not be able to keep it operating continuously. Neither Daoist Rite Seeds nor Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures would suffice, but for Chu Liang, that was never an issue.

Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures need no further explanation, but regarding Daoist Rite Seeds... Chu Liang’s only condition for cooperating with the plan of the various immortal sects this time was precisely this.

I can enter Sky-north Prison, and I can make the Heaven Devouring Beast cooperate.

But every Tianyuan cultivator in the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect must give me a Dao Seed!
