Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World-Chapter 995 - 484: Lord of the Immortal Prison, Prison Elder (Part 2)
"Fortunately, little friend has become the new prison guard, which will help old me reduce quite a bit of pressure."
The Prison Elder smiled, seemingly quite pleased.
"Senior, I saw that my Immortal Prison Order indicates that I am a Ninth Grade Prison Guard, what does that mean?"
Jiang Fan didn’t hold back and asked his doubts consecutively.
"Oh, Ninth Grade Prison Guard is the lowest grade of prison guard, and only has the lowest level of authority in the Immortal Prison Hall."
"But if you continuously complete tasks issued by the Immortal Prison Hall and earn the corresponding Contribution Points."
"Then your prison guard rank can continuously improve."
"In the end, you might even become the new Lord of the Immortal Prison, obtaining the greatest benefits here."
The Prison Elder explained.
Lord of the Immortal Prison?!
Jiang Fan squinted his eyes; this indeed was a huge temptation.
Even if this is just a corner of the Immortal Prison, it is still a Secret Realm World from the Immortal Realm.
No one knows exactly how many treasures from the Immortal Realm are contained here.
If one could truly control this Immortal Prison completely, the benefits obtained are simply unimaginable.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just the Immortal Stones received from the Immortal Prison Hall could surpass the imagination of countless cultivators.
Undoubtedly, this is a large fortune, likely even making an Immortal drool.
However, becoming the Lord of the Immortal Prison is probably not as simple as imagined.
"I suppose becoming the Lord of the Immortal Prison isn’t as simple as imagined, right."
Jiang Fan took a deep breath and spoke.
"Naturally, it’s not that simple."
"Don’t mention becoming the Lord of the Immortal Prison, even just promoting a prison guard rank requires a large amount of Contribution Points."
"It can be said that the Contribution Points needed to become the Lord of the Immortal Prison are extremely massive, taking countless years to achieve."
"However, since you’re the only one in the entire Immortal Prison Hall right now, and completely without competition."
"So there’s still a certain possibility of becoming the Lord of the Immortal Prison."
"And even if you can’t become the real Lord of the Immortal Prison but only become a prison guard."
"I suppose there would still be great benefits to your cultivation."
"I wonder if you’d like to accept the next prison guard task?"
The Prison Elder smiled faintly.
Clearly, he realized that the young cultivator before him wasn’t easily deceived, but that did not matter.
Because inside the Immortal Prison Hall, a large amount of treasures from the Immortal Realm is stored.
Even taking out just one item would make the Mortal Cultivators incredibly fervent.
Even to obtain treasures from the Immortal Prison Hall, the opponent might likely give it their all.
"Task? What task?"
Jiang Fan asked curiously.
"Due to your cultivation only being at the Seventh-Layer Divinity Transformation, many tasks are not doable for you."
"So I can only assign you some small tasks."
"Conveniently, Gouwu Mountain has encountered a minor problem."
"Because the seal has worn out over time, some cracks have appeared on that mountain’s seal."
"If it continues like this, the Demons inside might escape."
"So take this prison bead over there."
"Your task is simple; it is to reach Gouwu Mountain and put this bead inside."
"If done, the seal will automatically repair."
"This task is simple, right."
"Just successfully completing this task, you will earn some Contribution Points and select treasures from the treasury."
The Prison Elder said with a half-smile, starting to issue Jiang Fan a task.
Boom~~
Instantly, a piece of information swiftly entered the depths of Jiang Fan’s consciousness.
"The wonder of destiny lies precisely in this; you never know whether the person before you harbors good intentions or malice. It’s like the saying, ’one can’t see through the heart’s walls,’ and lies always fill every corner of the world."
What you don’t know is, the Prison Elder before you is not the Artifact Spirit of the Immortal Prison Hall, but merely a cunning one occupying the nest, having devoured the Artifact Spirit of the Immortal Prison Hall and becoming part of it."
But he is also imprisoned by the Immortal Prison Hall and cannot leave, and he is limited by the Hall’s power, unable to harm you, the Ninth Grade prison guard. Otherwise, you would have already died the moment you entered the Immortal Prison Hall."
"Destiny will provide you with hints."
"Destiny Hint One: The task he issued is a trap, seemingly simple but actually a certain-death task. Because Gouwu Mountain is sealed with a Fallen Demon Taotie, possessing unimaginable power. Approaching Gouwu Mountain will result in being instantly devoured by the Fallen Taotie, as many prison guards have died at the hands of this Taotie before."
Previously, the Immortal Prison Hall has seen several prison guards born, but unfortunately, they all got killed by the Prison Elder through various tasks, which is why you remain the sole Ninth Grade prison guard."
However, as a Ninth Grade prison guard, you still have the right to refuse tasks, as the cunning one is bound by rules and cannot harm you."
"Destiny Hint Two: Actually, refusing this task is not the best option, because a Ninth Grade prison guard can refuse a task only three times; by the fourth task, you must agree, or face elimination by the Immortal Prison Hall."
Therefore, even if you refuse the Gouwu Mountain task, the cunning one will still select more dangerous tasks for you, leading to your tragic death during execution; it doesn’t allow new prison guards to emerge in the Immortal Prison Hall."
"Hence, your best option is still to accept the Gouwu Mountain task, as choosing to accept doesn’t mean you need to execute it right away. This task can last for up to a century."
You can execute the task anytime within the century, so you can completely delay, waiting a hundred years before carrying out the task."
In this way, issuing more dangerous tasks to harm you becomes unlikely, as you have already accepted a dangerous task."
"Destiny Hint Three: More secrets are hidden in the Immortal Prison Hall, including a Quiet Chamber for prison guards’ cultivation, perhaps you can visit this chamber, rapidly enhance your cultivation, and quickly advance to Refining Void. Once promoted to Refining Void, accomplishing this task becomes more achievable."
Upon sensing this information, Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted as his heart surged with waves of shock."
In fact, he had long suspected the Prison Elder of being somewhat peculiar, not expecting it to be a cunning one usurped the Immortal Prison Hall, intending to occupy the nest."
Fortunately, the power of the Immortal Prison Hall is immensely powerful. Even though the cunning one has become the Artifact Spirit, it cannot act wantonly; otherwise, he would have been killed the moment he entered."
It’s no wonder that currently, the entire Immortal Prison has only himself as the Ninth Grade prison guard."
Over billions of years, there have likely been cultivators who received the Immortal Prison Order and became Ninth Grade prison guards.
But unfortunately, these cultivators couldn’t see through the true identity of the Prison Elder and got killed by him.
This led to the Immortal Prison falling completely."
If this continues, the place might get entirely devoured by the cunning."
"Little friend, what’s wrong? Do you not want to execute this task?"
"If unwilling, I have more tasks I can offer you as options?"
The Prison Elder urged, seeming a bit impatient.
"Senior, this task is so simple, of course, I am willing."
Jiang Fan said.
"Haha, I knew I didn’t mistake you, little friend."
"Then this matter is entrusted to you, and I hope you can soon head to Gouwu Mountain and complete this task."
Hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on the Prison Elder’s face.
Boom~~
Instantly, the Immortal Prison Order on Jiang Fan trembled, transmitting a piece of information, which was precisely the task information: "Task: Go to Gouwu Mountain and complete the repair of Gouwu Mountain’s seal (Unfinished)"
It’s clear that only after accepting it, will the Immortal Prison Hall issue a task.
If refused, then a task won’t be issued, as a Ninth Grade prison guard, he still has a certain degree of rights.
"Thank you, Senior."
"However, heading to Gouwu Mountain doesn’t need to be rushed at the moment."
"After all, this is just a small task."
"I feel my cultivation is too weak, needing some improvement."
"I wonder if the Immortal Prison Hall has places to help me enhance my cultivation?"
Jiang Fan blinked, displaying a genuinely sincere demeanor.
Hearing this, the Prison Elder was taken aback, not expecting the human cultivator to suddenly make such a request, yet he didn’t reveal his true nature, instead responded very kindly: "Oh, such a place certainly exists, it’s the prison guard’s cultivation Quiet Chamber; you can go inside to cultivate, and the cultivation efficiency is at least five times that of the outside world, which is one of the benefits of a Ninth Grade prison guard."
