The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 5 The Most Valuable Asset in Prison

"Who was it that built the God Demon Prison?" She was really curious—who had the capability and resources to suppress all the divine demons and then lock them up inside?

Changtian gave no answer.

"How exactly did you offend someone so much that they would bear a grudge leading to wife-stealing or son-killing?" To construct such a massive prison just to incarcerate him, to use the prison to drain his life force, to lock his scapula, and to use the Demon Transformation Spring against him, wishing for Changtian to suffer every single second. How much must they hate him? After thinking, she said, "This person is truly cruel! It would have been kinder just to kill you..."

"They couldn't kill me," Changtian suddenly interrupted her, speaking with a pride that came naturally to him. "If they could have, you wouldn't be meeting me here."

So they could only seal him away, thinking of every possible way to torment him, letting endless time slowly sap away his life force? She was genuinely impressed with the creator of the God Demon Prison; to invest such painstaking effort, they must indeed be talented!

However, the person before her was also a remarkable demon, having survived 30,000 years of torture and still in sound mind: coherent thoughts, clear speech, and able to act cool in front of her. It was said that those serving life sentences sometimes ended up with mental illnesses due to the long confinement in small spaces, living their days in a daze.

Alright, time to get back to the main topic. God didn't give her a ring just to let her have a day trip to the prison, right?

"May I ask, what use is it for me to become the master of the God Demon Prison?" She looked at him eagerly, hoping to hear plenty of good news from him.

His reply was succinct: "Useless."

"How could that be! The original master of the God Demon Prison went through so much trouble to build it, and then just let it be?" Even disregarding the time and costs expended, aren't all these captive divine demons a powerful resource? Just leaving them locked up and allowing the place to fall into desolation doesn't make sense!

Giving up was not her forte, so she was determined to persist: "Don't the imprisoned divine demons have treasures on them? Cultivators refine their personal magical treasures—shouldn't these big shots have some too?" If she got her hands on one or two, maybe she could become a powerful warrior herself!

"Yes. Every prisoner has a personal magic artifact with them. After coming in, they are all searched and stripped of everything except their Life-bound Magical Artifact."

See! She was still clever!

Then he looked at her as if she were a fool, continuing, "But no artifact can exist for 30,000 years once separated from its owner."

Ah, so what does that mean?

"Those artifacts have all perished in the sands of time," he said, his eyes lowering, seemingly a little sad, "Time possesses the greatest destructive power; nothing can remain in its wake."

Ning Xiaoxian expressed her understanding, albeit disappointed! But brother, I'm not here to discuss philosophical matters with you, even though your melancholic air is quite stylish!

"So you mean, getting this empty prison means I can't really do anything with it? It's the same as not having it at all?"

"Pretty much." He closed his eyes, as if he no longer wished to pay any attention to her.

I don't believe it! Even a copper coin has its worth, let alone such an enormous God Demon Prison; no matter how dilapidated, it must still have some residual value to extract! Her eyes darted around, and suddenly she let out a hehe laugh: "That's not right, this prison is not empty!"

"It isn't?"

"Of course not! Every god demon that has been locked in here has turned to white bones, only you are still alive. This shows that you are more formidable than them all; you are the real big BOSS!"

"The greatest asset of this prison is still here, which is—you! Without you, this prison would truly be worthless!"

He curled his lips slightly. It seemed that this mortal woman, despite having not the slightest talent, was not stupid. He had not heard anyone flatter him like this in many, many years, and although these words came from the mouth of a mortal, they did make his mood slightly better. But, what is a "BOSS"?

She stared at Changtian with sincere big eyes. Her uncle once said that when she needed something from someone, her eyes could be watery and could easily soften someone's heart.

"Changtian, what would it take for you to help me?" she said word by word. This was an ancient divine beast, her only lifeline at the moment. No matter what, she must find a way to have him lend a hand.

It seemed her charm had no effect. Changtian retorted coldly with a glance: "What I desire, you cannot give." As if afraid that she wouldn't understand, he added with malice, "You're just a mortal!"

Ning Xiaoxian said angrily, "I know I'm a mortal, there's no need to keep reminding me. Just tell me what needs to be done, I'll do whatever I can!"

"Even if you gave your life, you couldn't help," he pointed at the chains on his body, "I desire freedom. That's something you can't do."

Indeed, he was the foundation of the God Demon Prison's operations. If he were to be released, then the God Demon Prison would become utterly pointless; moreover, such an ancient divine beast, if he decided to wreak havoc in the present world, it's hard to imagine how much bloodshed and turmoil he might cause. She wasn't the White Lotus Saint Mother, but she also didn't want to see the Mortal World turned into hell.

She bit her lower lip and said, "Suppose, just suppose, that you were free, would you then find a place to live in seclusion, not to trouble the Mortal World anymore?"

He sneered, "Live in seclusion? Find a place with no people to hide away, how is that different from now? What I desire is to live freely and at ease." Upon hearing this, her heart sank, but then she heard him continue, "Cause trouble for the Mortal World? After going out, I'll settle scores with some people, but as for the mortals, beings as insignificant as ants, as long as they don't provoke me, I have no interest in even touching them."

Was this his indirect way of expressing "I won't harm humans"? How tactful. But leaving that aside, the most important thing was—

"Changtian, when you were at your strongest, could you tear apart space and time?"

"Tear apart space and time? What do you mean?"

"I mean breaking through space to go to another world." Her heart was racing. Please give me a positive response quickly!

After pondering, he said, "Never tried it. But it shouldn't be difficult."

Great, there's hope for getting back to Earth! As long as he's willing to help her after regaining his divine power, then student Ning Xiaoxian can leave this dangerous Immortal World behind and continue her warm modern urban life on Earth, she can go back to attending high school, going to university, dating, and be a happy ordinary person on Earth.

"Isn't there some sort of spell or something here that could release you after I recite it? After all, I'm now the owner of God Demon Prison." Sun Monkey was trapped under Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, and he couldn't free himself with all his divine power, but when mortal Tang Seng came along, he carelessly removed the Six-character Mantra that was on the mountain, right? That's the difference between having protagonist's halo or not.

"Wishful thinking. No!" He curled the corner of his mouth, seemingly whether out of irritation or amusement, "There are only two ways to free me. One is to use the Nanming Lihuo Sword to cut these two chains."

"What a grand name! Where is this sword now?"

"As I knew before I was sealed, it's inside the belly of the Great Snow Mountain in the northwest of Nan Zhanbu Continent."
