Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World-Chapter 994 - 484: Lord of the Immortal Prison, Prison Elder
Swoosh!
In the next moment, an elder emerged from the depths of the palace, leaning on a black cane. He was clad in a black robe, his entire body shrouded in a black mist, exuding a bizarre aura of dark death that obscured his true face.
At the instant he appeared, Jiang Fan felt his hackles rise, sensing a deadly crisis.
Clearly, this elder in the black robe was an incredibly terrifying existence.
It seemed that if he made a move, he could easily crush him.
"May I ask who you are, senior?"
Jiang Fan inquired.
"You may call me the Prison Elder."
"I am the master of this Immortal Prison Hall."
"I didn’t expect a lowly Seventh-Layer Divinity Transformation cultivator to be recognized by the Immortal Prison Order."
"It seems you are quite extraordinary."
The black-robed elder, claiming to be the Prison Elder, looked at Jiang Fan with interest.
For one to be recognized by the Immortal Prison Order is not an easy feat.
It requires strong cultivation, various potentials, and certain qualities to be recognized by the Immortal Prison Order.
If it weren’t for that, this is why so few prison guards have appeared over the years.
"Senior, what is the Immortal Prison Hall, and what is the Immortal Prison Order?"
Jiang Fan asked.
He harbored many suspicions within, but the fate prompt remained unchanged, which meant that this mysterious elder posed no life-threatening danger to him.
This emboldened him considerably, allowing him to ask his countless questions directly.
"The Immortal Prison Hall is a prison originating from the Immortal Realm."
"The Ice Prison you are in now was merely a corner of the Immortal Prison back in the Immortal Realm."
"Since it fell from the Immortal Realm, it has come into the Spirit Ruins Realm."
"Yet even so, this place still suppresses countless demons and eerie beings."
"Should they escape, it would inevitably lead to disaster."
The Prison Elder murmured.
He briefly mentioned the origins of the Immortal Prison Hall, just as Jiang Fan had previously speculated that the Ice Prison was indeed a prison from the Immortal Realm.
Even if it was merely a fragment, its size was unimaginably vast, capable of containing countless creatures.
As a prison, its most crucial duty was undoubtedly imprisoning convicts.
"So, does that mean I’ve become a prison guard of the Immortal Prison Hall?"
"If that’s the case, what things in the Immortal Prison Hall require my attention?"
Jiang Fan squinted his eyes, staring at the elder in the black robe.
He instinctively realized that becoming a prison guard must entail great benefits.
"As a prison guard, your primary duty is naturally to watch over the prisoners of the Immortal Prison."
"Prevent the convicts inside from escaping."
"Of course, you also stand to gain tremendous benefits from it."
"Annually, you can earn twenty Immortal Stones from the Immortal Prison Hall as wages."
"If you make certain contributions and complete tasks assigned by the Immortal Prison Hall, you can obtain the treasures from its vault."
The Prison Elder briefly introduced the obligations of the prison guard and the benefits that could be gained.
Twenty Immortal Stones a year?!
Hearing this, Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted; such compensation was indeed astonishing.
With twenty Immortal Stones a year, over ten years, you could earn two hundred stones, over a hundred years two thousand stones, and over a millennium twenty thousand stones—a truly staggering wealth.
Especially in the Mortal World, Immortal Stones are a non-renewable resource.
They are essentially monopolized by those major powers, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to obtain Immortal Stones.
Hence, the purchasing power of Immortal Stones is extremely potent, capable of exchanging for countless rare treasures.
If there are enough Immortal Stones, they can even buy Immortal Artifacts.
Not to mention the rewards for completing the tasks of the Immortal Prison Hall in addition to the annual salary.
No wonder the fate prompt showed no signs of change.
It appears that becoming a prison guard indeed offers him enormous benefits.
This visit to rescue Guan Tianqi was indeed the right decision.
If he hadn’t rescued him, he wouldn’t have obtained the Immortal Prison Order or arrived at this mysterious Immortal Prison Hall.
Only those who refine the Immortal Prison Order can enter the Immortal Prison Hall.
Otherwise, no matter how long you stay in the Immortal Prison, you could never reach this mysterious palace.
"Senior, aside from myself, are there any other prison guards?"
Jiang Fan asked curiously.
He wanted to know if he was the only prison guard of the Immortal Prison Hall.
"Well, at the moment, indeed, there is only you as the Ninth Grade Prison Guard."
"Previously, some had refined the Immortal Prison Order and became prison guards of the Immortal Prison Hall."
"Unfortunately, they died during a mission."
"So currently, there is only you as a prison guard."
The Prison Elder replied.
Died?!
Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted, realizing that the benefits of the Immortal Prison Hall are not easily obtained; failure in a mission could result in death.
Nonetheless, he was confident; if the task was truly impossible, he would simply flee, with no need to remain in the Immortal Prison.
After all, he would take beneficial things, and if not beneficial, he would run.
"Senior, what role do you play in the Immortal Prison Hall?"
Jiang Fan continued to ask.
"I am the Artifact Spirit of the Immortal Prison Hall, responsible for maintaining its operation."
"Since all the prison guards died, the Immortal Prison Hall is left without personnel."
"I am trapped inside the Immortal Prison Hall and cannot make a move."
