Demon Sword Sect's Undercover-Chapter 833 - 832: Congratulations on Going to Prison

Only Yue Duo from Qingkong nodded quietly, realizing that this junior brother, who came to her by chance, indeed possessed true skills. She instantly recognized the roots of his body skill, the famed Thunder Fire Refining Golden Body from Xiao Mountain, which was the signature body skill of Ancestor Li, imbued with profound mystery.

At the same time, she began to fantasize. If the Jinxiu Sword Vein was at this level, her coming here might not have been necessary, as it was already very close to the orthodox sword sect.

A group of people finished being beaten and obediently waited for the next step of disposal. For them, it was clear that the process of cultivating disciples in their Daoist tradition could never be like a nanny providing protection throughout. This was also the reason why their Daoist tradition could remain at the pinnacle of the universe.

They fully played to the subjective initiative of the disciples. Once released, they shouldn’t expect any support from the school. If they have the ability, they will make it on their own; if not, they will die outside without complaint.

Precisely because of this, they were well aware of the current situation and started as criminal cultivators, looking to find any opportunity during this process.

From the moment they received this task, they knew the difficulty was unusual. Originally they thought the challenge lay in Jinxiu, but they hadn’t even entered Jinxiu? Unexpected events always come with risks, but those risks bring opportunities. For them, who could no longer find challenges on their own star, this was a very interesting beginning, full of excitement.

The only good news was that everyone was here, so there was no worry about falling behind. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The leading Unihorn shook his hand. "Follow me."

Everyone walked in single file, moving quickly. Hou Niao could feel that his movements had no issues, just like usual; he felt a bit relieved, at least there were no shackles or handcuffs?

He was filled with confusion about the future. He was very familiar with mortal prisons, but it was the first time he’d encounter a cultivator’s prison in his life; he didn’t know what the differences would be?

He knew very little about the various aspects of the Universe Cultivation Realm, and this ignorance made him uneasy.

After not traveling far, approximately a thousand miles, light started to appear in front of the cave wall, which aroused his curiosity. Yue Duo’s explanation was simple and didn’t fully introduce the specifics of the Prison Star, filled with unknowns.

Living inside a star, where does the light come from? Are there mountains and rivers? Is there a sky? Are there plants and animals? Are there four seasons? Alternation of day and night?

Too many questions would be answered once he walked into the light. What he feared most was seeing nothing but a series of dark and closed cave labor cages. If he had to endure decades in such an underground setting, he truly didn’t know if he would go insane.

Carrying countless questions, when he bathed in the sunlight again, he could hardly believe his eyes.

In front of him was an endless sea of clouds, with immortal mountains appearing indistinctly in it, each floating atop the cloud sea, giving a magnificent impression.

Is this a prison? It was more like an immortal realm!

He started to like the place a little. You couldn’t see such beauty on Jinxiu Continent, not in the same league at all. If the real scenery here was sent back to Jinxiu Continent, probably countless cultivators would weep and beg to come here?

The joy on his face was obvious, though the Unihorn people wouldn’t care, but other inmates showed disdain: this country bumpkin can see a prison as an immortal realm. But you couldn’t blame him; those from Jinxiu who had never left the universe couldn’t have much insight?

The leading Unihorn pointed to the Cloud Sea, "Hell Star has Nineteen Continents, the prison is the mandate of heaven, each maintaining its own order, Thunder is the law.

Enter our Hell Star, obey our Unihorn laws; this was the agreement between our Unihorn Clan and the human True Immortals ten thousand years ago. Given that you are cultivators, you should enjoy freedom of the body. So, once entering a continent as a prison, all restraints are removed, but except for one point, you must check-in daily; one day missed is ten whips, three days missed is a hundred whips, ten days missing is a thousand whips, keep this in mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, each Unihorn person led one of the twelve people and went in different directions; Hou Niao, with his keen eyes and mind, saw that everyone’s direction was different, so he understood something.

These Floating Mountains, called islands by the Unihorns, there are nineteen inside Hell Star, equivalent to nineteen prison dormitories. Obviously, the Unihorns wouldn’t place them together, separating them to prevent collaboration is common in mortal world prisons, just not knowing which small continent he would be assigned to?

The Unihorn leading him remained silent throughout the flight, and he hadn’t intended to extract any useful information from him. Although it was just the initial contact, with his keen insight, he could roughly discern the character of the Unihorn caveman. They truly were rigid and conservative, inflexible and strict, they were like machines executing precisely according to established rules.

You have to admit, such a character might lack creativity, but it is very fitting for managing a prison.

The head Unihorn made it very clear, you can do as you please on the island, this was the agreement with the Immortals, giving criminal cultivators full freedom, but they cannot leave the small continent. Or if leaving temporarily, they must return within a day, otherwise, they’d be whipped.

On his journey, seeing the distance between the small continents could take more than a few days to travel, which limited the interaction between the criminal cultivators. He could handle nine whips, but a hundred could become problematic, and if lashed a thousand times, whether his life could be kept was uncertain.

Very harsh, yet very relaxed, depending on your perspective. Such rules, established by ancient immortals, were very humane, giving the cultivator the utmost respect; just not knowing which immortal it was?

Too far away for him, and he couldn’t think about it too much.

During the journey, his first understanding of the Hell Star was about its day and night alternation. To his surprise, unlike normal boundary domains where sunlight comes from outside, the light here emanates from the inside. In other words, the light source is the core of Hell Star.

If you don’t consider the outer shell of the Hell Star, it’s like nineteen floating small continents revolve around a small sun, essentially no different from normal universe stars, except that there’s an additional layer of over a thousand miles thick and solid outer shell, extremely magical.

Here, there is also the change of day and night, the most standard black and white division, unlike the Jinxiu Continent which has seasonal changes with long days and short nights or short days and long nights; black is black, white is white, distinct in differences. When night descends, it’s as if a black tide rolls in from the horizon; likewise, when daylight arrives, the illumination is similar, due to the reason that the core light source is very close.

Different from Jinxiu Continent, if a day and night here account for a day, then a day on Hell Star is equivalent to three days on the outside, totaling thirty-six hours, determined by the rotation of the small continent.

It overturned his understanding, making him truly understand what was beyond the heavens.
