Chapter 1064: Internal Fight at Prison Peak

Chapter 1080: Internal Strife in Prison Peak

Lu Yang and his companion saw Heavenly Venerate Guiyuan and Dao Lord Han Hai lying side by side in a large pit, as if lifeless. They exclaimed and immediately rushed over to check on the elders.

"Grand Ancestors, are you two alright?"

The two grand ancestors' eyes were vacant, and they couldn't hear.

On this day, the three grand ancestors of the Dao Seeking Sect gathered.

On the same day, two of the three grand ancestors perished.

Weeping, Lu Yang and his companion lifted the two grand ancestors out of the large pit and placed them beside it. They then began applying the new techniques learned from the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect, restoring the landscape to its original state.

Although the two grand ancestors had passed on, life had to continue, and the necessary work still had to be done.

"Second-in-Command, let me help you." Since the second-in-command was working, there was no reason for the third-in-command to simply watch.

The Innate Daoist thought for a moment: everything has a price. He couldn't just watch the battle for free, and though the entire fight lasted less than a few breaths, it was still a battle. So, he joined the pit-filling effort as compensation for watching.

Later generations of unfilial descendants carried sand and soil, walking back and forth past the two grand ancestors. The two grand ancestors lay exposed in the wilderness, ignored by all, a truly bleak sight.

"Grand Ancestors, please don't involve me next time you get beaten."

"Oh."

The two grand ancestors lay on the ground for a while, finally regaining their composure. They stood up, shaking off the lethargy.

"By the way, Grand Ancestor, you possess the embryonic form of the Unity Dao Fruit, right?"

Previously, Dao Lord Han Hai had been influenced by Heavenly Venerate Guiyuan's fervent spirit, becoming impulsive and generating unrealistic ideas, such as defeating Yun Zhi.

Now, after lying motionless on the ground for a while, the fervent spirit had receded, and he returned to his normal state.

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Can you combine spirit stones?"

"Yes, ten low-grade spirit stones can be synthesized into a mid-grade spirit stone, and ten mid-grade spirit stones into a high-grade spirit stone."

"Then can ten supreme-grade spirit stones be further synthesized?"

Dao Lord Han Hai took out ten supreme-grade spirit stones.

Supreme-grade spirit stones are the highest quality of spirit stones, containing extremely refined spiritual energy. Even high-level cultivators dare not use supreme-grade spirit stones for cultivation every time.

Heavenly Venerate Guiyuan's hands emitted a greenish-blue light, which enveloped the ten supreme-grade spirit stones.

The ten supreme-grade spirit stones reacted with each other, gathering, touching, and merging.

After the light faded, a unique spirit stone appeared in Heavenly Venerate Guiyuan's hand.

This spirit stone was crystal clear, difficult to find if placed in water. Its quality far surpassed that of supreme-grade spirit stones, and the spiritual energy within it was astonishingly dense.

"It actually works." Dao Lord Han Hai happily took the spirit stone and carefully placed it in a wooden box. The wooden box, lined with Ancestral Dragon Grass, served to highlight this unparalleled spirit stone.

A gift for Xiao Ya was now ready.

All this time, Dao Lord Han Hai had been pondering True Monarch Zhuiyue's words. Xiao Ya, being from the dragon race, certainly wouldn't lack spirit stones, so presumptuously gifting her spirit stones wasn't a good move.

But this spirit stone was different. It was a spirit stone beyond supreme-grade. No matter how wealthy Xiao Ya was, she wouldn't possess a spirit stone like this.

"Grand Ancestor, does this spirit stone have a name?"

"As for a name, let's call it the Limit Spirit Stone. This is the limit for spirit stones; I feel if we continue to merge, the spirit stone will shatter from the strain."

"Limit Spirit Stone it is then." Dao Lord Han Hai, finally possessing a suitable gift, directly opened a spatial gate and teleported himself to the East Sea.

Ao Ya was still angry, so he needed to quickly appease her.

"This youngster is too formidable; I can't beat him." Heavenly Venerate Guiyuan recalled the earlier battle, which was a pure crushing defeat. He hadn't suffered such a crushing defeat even when he challenged Jiang Ping'an back then.

"I need to find someone to practice with. If Zhuiyue is still alive, then those others should be alive too, right?"

Heavenly Venerate Guiyuan decided to seek out old friends for a chat. After losing, one always needs to find a way to restore confidence.

"Done." Lu Yang filled in the last piece of soil, restoring the landscape to its original appearance. No one would be able to tell that a major battle had ever taken place here.

"Senior Sister, are you going to interrogate Divine Monarch Silei?" Lu Yang noticed Yun Zhi flying towards Prison Peak.

"Yes." If it hadn't been for Heavenly Venerate Guiyuan's incident, Yun Zhi would have gone to interrogate him on the spot.

"I'll go find a helper to ensure Divine Monarch Silei tells the truth."

Inside Prison Peak, Divine Monarch Silei was listening to his friend Divine Monarch Sichen introduce the prisoners of Prison Peak. Each name he heard made his eyelid twitch.

Nightmare Supreme, Void Supreme, Dao Lord Wanfa... these were all semi-immortals with immense reputations in later generations, even greater than his own.

These semi-immortals were actually imprisoned in this small Prison Peak.

He had initially thought his capture by the Dao Seeking Sect was bad luck, a coincidence of encountering Heavenly Venerate Guiyuan and Yun Mengmeng.

Now he saw that it was no coincidence at all; the Dao Seeking Sect clearly possessed terrifying and formidable inherent strength.

He cast his gaze towards the cage at the far end of Prison Peak, where a thin, middle-aged man with a goatee sat on a chair, legs crossed.

The mere thought of this figure's reputation made his scalp tingle.

The Grand Preceptor of Great Yu, Guan Shanhai.

An immortal was also imprisoned here!

Sichen said he was captured by Lu Yang, who appeared to be at the Nascent Soul stage but was actually an ancient immortal.

The Grand Preceptor of Great Yu, on the other hand, was captured by a woman named Yun Zhi.

A mere sect actually possessing two immortals — how terrifying was that?

And their Great Gan knew nothing of this intelligence!

"I don't see anything remarkable about you Great Gan cultivators. Ancient texts boasted about how powerful you Great Gan cultivators were, but now that I see you, you're just mediocre."

Dao Lord Wanfa said disdainfully. In his youth, elders often praised him as having the potential to become a Great Gan Divine Monarch. He strongly disliked this assessment, believing himself to be stronger than any Great Gan Divine Monarch.

However, this was merely his unilateral belief. He couldn't find a Great Gan Divine Monarch to fight and prove his superiority.

Now, in Prison Peak, he had finally encountered one.

"What did you say? Say that again!" Divine Monarch Silei was furious. Did he really think his great reputation in later generations qualified him to utter such arrogant words?

"Wanfa, you've gone too far," Divine Monarch Sichen said coldly.

"Did he say something wrong? I don't think so. You Great Gan cultivators are trash!" said Void Supreme. Although he was the one who ended the Great Yu Dynasty, he was still considered a cultivator of Great Yu and would naturally side with Great Yu.

"Void, it seems you weren't convinced by my defeat of you in the Battle of Spring River City!" Nightmare Supreme, from the late Great Gan period, looked displeased. He had witnessed Wu Yao establish the Great Yu Dynasty and found the cultivators of the Great Yu Dynasty generally disagreeable.

"Ridiculous! I clearly had the upper hand then. Did I beat you senseless? No wonder Great Gan was destroyed; turns out they were all a bunch of fools!"

"You Great Yu are the true good-for-nothings!"

"Say that again, if you dare!"

"I'll say it ten times if I want! Good-for-nothings! All of you are good-for-nothings!"

The semi-immortals from the two great dynasties began to quarrel. Seeing this, cultivators at the Body Integration and Tribulation Transcendence stages also joined the dispute, verbally attacking and insulting the opposing dynasty.

Five semi-immortals, over ten Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, and nearly a hundred Body Integration cultivators participated. The scale of this conflict was second only to the founding wars.

"Alright, all of you, shut up." Guan Shanhai, annoyed by the noise, snapped his newspaper shut, looking displeased.

Guan Shanhai was the most powerful cultivator in Prison Peak. No one dared to defy him; the moment he spoke, everyone immediately fell silent, as if struck by cold.

"The Great Gan Dynasty is merely a group of good-for-nothings who only know how to bask in incense offerings. What is there to argue about with them?"

As soon as he said this, the Great Yu cultivators erupted in cheers, while the Great Gan cultivators quietly lowered their heads, not daring to defy Guan Shanhai.

Divine Monarch Silei also quietly lowered his head, clenching his jaw, feeling utterly humiliated.

If only the Emperor and Lord Siming were here...
