Chapter 1307: Prison Peak's Combat Power Has Been Balanced

"What did I just see? She defeated Wu Yao in a single move?!"The old cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage stared, jaws agape. This was Wu Yao, who had ascended to immortality a second time, yet Yun Zhi had dealt with him in just one move.

Could it be that their earlier predictions were wrong, and Yun Zhi wasn't a half-immortal but a true immortal?No, that didn't seem right either; the tribulation for becoming an immortal usually caused such a massive stir. How could Yun Zhi have ascended silently?

Regardless, the undeniable truth was before them.It was laughable that they had previously worried about Yun Zhi's safety. They should have been concerned about Wu Yao's life and death!

Upon seeing Wu Yao defeated, the old cultivators actually felt a lot better. Both they and Wu Yao had been defeated by Yun Zhi in a single move; everyone shared the same outcome.

"Oh, if I had known Fellow Daoist Yun Zhi could defeat Wu Yao, I wouldn't have lowered my cultivation to mend my Dao heart!" a powerful Tribulation Transcending cultivator regretted. After being defeated by Yun Zhi, he felt humiliated that his thousands of years of arduous cultivation couldn't compare to a junior, so he had to reduce his cultivation and restart training to seek his Dao heart.

One shouldn't do such things too often; it could become an addiction, making it hard to quit.Other powerful Tribulation Transcending cultivators nodded in agreement; they had all fought Yun Zhi before.

The cultivators in the Fusion stage had never witnessed such a scene. Yun Zhi, who had seemed unassuming, had dealt with Wu Yao in a single move—even myths and legends wouldn't dare fabricate something so incredible.Shi Chan silently recited "Amitābha," realizing why Senior Yun Zhi could so easily overpower him even when suppressing her power to his level. It made sense now; it wasn't that he was too weak, but that his opponent was simply too strong.

Yun Zhi, holding Wu Yao, tore open space and returned to the cultivation world. The Fusion stage cultivators, like chicks following a hen in a game of 'eagle catching chicks,' instinctively formed a line and followed behind.Finally, they had found their way back.

Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng followed behind Yun Zhi. Even Fusion stage cultivators who were familiar with Lu Yang dared not step forward to inquire about Yun Zhi's true nature.

"Strange, how did Senior Brother Lu Yang and Emperor Yu Wu Yao fight?" Shi Chan murmured to himself, his brow furrowed.

He had intended to recall the details of the recent battle, hoping it would aid his future cultivation, but he found he couldn't remember anything about it.Even pulling out a recording orb or checking the warship's surveillance footage only showed white noise; nothing could be seen.

It wasn't just Shi Chan; other Fusion stage cultivators also noticed the anomaly.However, their doubts lasted only a moment before they dismissed the matter, as if it were nothing significant.

Lu Yang observed this scene, deep in thought. This was also a manifestation of the immortal's forgetfulness characteristic.

When he and Wu Yao fought, the Fusion stage cultivators could see and remember it. However, once Wu Yao ascended to immortality and condensed his Dao Fruit, the immortal's forgetfulness characteristic emerged, causing them to forget the methods of Wu Yao's Dao Fruit and even to not care about the incident.It was as if the event had been erased from their consciousness.

With the war concluded, the cultivation world could finally let out a collective sigh of relief. After capturing the Zhutian warships, the half-immortal battle had begun outside the realm.Now that the fighting was over, they could finally deal with these captives.

Upon returning to the sect, He Ling led a group of captives and waited for Yun Zhi at the sect entrance, awaiting her decision.Yun Zhi was surprised and somewhat puzzled: "Is Senior He Ling waiting for me?"

He Ling nodded: "We've run into a bit of a problem. There's no more space in the Prison Peak; these people can't be held there."Two hundred warships had surrendered themselves to the Dao Seeking Sect, bringing over ten thousand captives. Even if Prison Peak wasn't already largely full, it couldn't accommodate so many people.

Yun Zhi's expression was a little strange; she hadn't expected to encounter such an issue.

"How about reporting it to the imperial court and letting them handle it?" Lu Yang suggested."A good idea," He Ling said, taking the captives away. He couldn't leave the confines of the Dao Seeking Sect and needed others to delegate the task.Didn't the Grand Elders want to take action? This would be a good task for them.

"Sister Mengmeng, where have you been all this time? Did you find anything during your cosmic exploration?" Lu Yang asked curiously."Of course!" Yun Mengmeng exclaimed, her eyebrows dancing as she gesticulated wildly, chuckling.

"Xiao Zhi and I searched for several months before we finally found a planet with living beings.""That planet reveres food; there's so much delicious stuff there—even trees are edible! The people hollow out trees and live in the tree hollows, so they can eat the tree anytime without worrying about it collapsing since trees grow back."

"There, chefs are the most respected profession. They even have culinary battles, ingredient battles, and classify ingredients by grade, developing many different cooking methods.""I just pulled Xiao Zhi along, and we walked around and ate, living very comfortably. We had only sampled a small fraction of the delicacies before we left."

Lu Yang was surprised: "That sounds like a truly wonderful place."From Yun Mengmeng's frantic gesticulations, it was clear she was extremely pleased with her time there.

"Let me tell you, Xiao Zhi has absolutely no talent for cooking. She saw how many chefs there were and, thinking she could do anything, tried to learn from them. But she was terrible at it, much worse than my cooking!""I think she just couldn't handle the blow, which is why she insisted on dragging me back to the cultivation world. We still hadn't visited many famous food cities," Yun Mengmeng grumbled, pouting, clearly dissatisfied with Yun Zhi's bossy and solitary decision.

Yun Mengmeng completely failed to notice Yun Zhi turning her head and glaring at her with a rather unfriendly expression."Oh, so little Yun is interested in cooking? She should have said so earlier! I, the Immortal, will teach her!" The Immortal Maiden of Immortality was quite pleased with Yun Zhi's timely intervention; she was a loyal subject, and loyal subjects deserved rewards.

Yun Mengmeng continued to chatter: "But it's a good thing, too; Xiao Zhi just happened to help the Second Boss, so I'll forgive her."

Yun Mengmeng couldn't see Yun Zhi's reaction, but Lu Yang saw it clearly. He felt he shouldn't listen any further."Ahem, Sister Mengmeng, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now.""Hey, I haven't finished telling you everything yet!" Yun Mengmeng pouted.

"I gained some insights from this battle and need to go into seclusion for a breakthrough. Sister Mengmeng, we'll see each other later!" Lu Yang moved further and further away from Yun Mengmeng, disappearing into Tianmen Peak and not coming out.

"Seclusion, huh? Alright then." Yun Mengmeng expressed her understanding; cultivation was the most important thing."Come on, Xiao Tian, let's go find Xiao He. I'll tell you two all about it," Yun Mengmeng said, grabbing her Third Senior Sister Gan Tian, who had also returned from the battlefield.

Wu Yao's expression somewhat resembled Yun Zhi's: emotionless and resigned.To think that he, the dignified Heavenly Emperor, was now reduced to a prisoner. It was both tragic and lamentable.He was probably the first immortal ever captured in history.

Yun Zhi carried Wu Yao all the way from the mountain gate to the sect's core area, and then to the desolate Prison Peak."Hm?" Wu Yao's pupils contracted sharply as he sensed the presence of Prison Peak.

The entire Prison Peak was constructed from immortal gold—what extravagance!

"They're here, they're here!" shouted a prisoner standing on the outermost perimeter, craning half his head out to peer intently. Upon seeing Wu Yao's arrival, he rushed back to spread the news.

Wu Yao felt a slight confusion. How was the person who just ran past so much like the Myriad Law Dao Lord of their Great Yu Dynasty?

"Go on in," Yun Zhi said, tossing Wu Yao into Prison Peak as if he were a mere stone.

Wu Yao stumbled a couple of steps, and a figure appeared before him.He looked up; it was Guan Shanhai?!

Guan Shanhai was surrounded by a group of people who, surprisingly, all appeared to be cultivators from their Great Yu Dynasty."How are you here—"

The two had been both master and friend, separated for over a hundred thousand years. Although they had had disagreements in between, looking back, those differences seemed insignificant now.

Guan Shanhai clapped Wu Yao's shoulder forcefully. Even for a sturdy man like him, emotions were running high."You're finally here! I've been waiting for you for so long."

Wu Yao was caught up in the atmosphere, feeling equally moved and excited: "Yes, I'm finally here—huh?"Wait, that didn't sound right, did it?

Guan Shanhai put an arm around Wu Yao, defiantly pointing at the crowd opposite them: "You people from Da Qian, look closely! All of us from Great Yu are here, and we're not afraid of you anymore!"Wu Yao: "?"
