Chapter 267 Heavenly Prison

Xu Mu and Xu Lingyu took a carriage from the Princess's Palace to the Palm Immortal Department in the imperial capital. Xu Mu originally wanted to get closer to Xu Lingyu, but in the end, this guy was like a boring gourd and didn't say a word.

If he hadn't found out that the other party was not mute, he would really have suspected that the other party was mute.

Of course, for golden elixir stage monks, unless they practice special techniques, there is no possibility of becoming mute.

"I really don't know how Li Youlan recruited him, and he seems to trust him very much!"

He also found out that Xu Lingyu joined earlier than others.

"Soul cultivation!"

He thought again of Li Youlan's introduction to Xu Lingyu.

The so-called soul cultivators, simply put, are people who focus on cultivating soul power. Such people are often mentally stronger than monks of the same level. It is said that their souls can leave the body, exist in the outside world for a long time, and have various unique mental attack methods.

There are specializations in the art, soul cultivation, body cultivation, and legal cultivation. In fact, the focus is just different. If we really want to say the difference, it is not so big that it is completely different.

In this mission, Xu Mu was responsible for refining the soul, while Xu Lingyu was responsible for attracting the soul.

Simply put, it’s bait!

Seeing that Xu Lingyu was unwilling to speak, Xu Mu stopped being sentimental and closed his eyes to rest while waiting for the carriage to arrive at Zhangxian Division.

Da da da! Da da!

"Why is it so slow today?"

After calculating the time in his mind, Xu Mu murmured something strange.

"Come back to me, sir! There are a lot of people in the city recently for the festival!"

The driver in charge of driving outside answered respectfully.

"festival?"

Xu Mu was confused for a moment, opened the car window and looked outside, and found that the flow of people was indeed a bit large, and the road was crowded. If their car was not a Princess Mansion car, the speed might be even slower.

The clothes of these people were very different, and they were obviously not locals.

"It would be great if I could fly!"

Xu Mu lowered the car window and muttered to himself.

The driver outside didn't respond.

The carriage took twice as long as usual to arrive at the door of the Palm Immortal Division.

"The two adults are here!"

The coachman opened the curtain and said respectfully.

"Um!"

Xu Mu nodded and was about to get up when Xu Lingyu got up first and walked out.

This kind of thing is quite positive!

Xu Mu thought to himself.

He got up and followed Xu Lingyu out of the carriage.

"Two adults, I will go back first! I will come to pick you up when the mission is almost over!"

"Um!"

Xu Mu waved his hand, and the coachman drove away from the other side of the street, returning to the princess mansion.

They were going to be here for a long time, and the coachman couldn't wait forever.

Xu Lingyu ignored the conversation between the two, walked quickly to the door, and handed a token to the guard at the door.

"Task!"

Xu Lingyu's voice was indifferent, like an emotionless robot. Coupled with his covered eyes, it gave people a feeling of being thousands of miles away, making it really difficult for people to get close to him.

I pull like this every day and I’m not afraid of being beaten!

Xu Mu complained in his heart.

The guard was only in the foundation building period. Even if he was unhappy with Xu Lingyu, he did not dare to offend him casually. After receiving the token and confirming it, someone from the Palm Immortal Division came over soon and took the two of them in.

"You two, please come with me!"

The guard of the Palm Immortal Division wearing black armor walked in front, and the two of them followed closely behind, three steps apart.

Xu Mu frowned slightly. It was really uncomfortable to be in an area full of spiritual energy for a long time and suddenly enter an area without spiritual energy.

"I don't know how the remnant souls in the sky prison survived in this environment?" Xu Mu thought to himself.

Under the leadership of the guards from the Palm Immortal Division, the two entered a dark underground passage. Xu Mu felt an inexplicable coldness all over his body, as if he had entered an ice cave, and a feeling of despair grew in his heart.

Xu Mu used his skills to resolve this sudden feeling.

"This is not caused by pure Yin energy, but also some other energy, which is very weird!" Xu Mu thought secretly in his heart.

At this time, the guard leading the way said: "This is where the Heavenly Prison is. Although you two have advanced cultivation, you still need to pay attention. There are many formations here. Try not to use your spiritual thoughts and spiritual power to avoid unnecessary troubles." Trouble!"

"Um!"

They both nodded at the same time.

Just thinking about how even Nascent Soul stage monks can be imprisoned here, you know how strong the defense here is. As long as the two of them are clear in their minds, they will not take the initiative to cause trouble.

I don’t know how long I walked through the tunnel before I saw an iron door in front of me. I don’t know what kind of metal it was made of. It was black and shiny. On it were carved two monsters with one horns that looked like lions. Their eyes had a strong sense of oppression. .

Two guards in black armor sat cross-legged with their heads lowered, as if they were asleep. Each held a long halberd in their hands, crossing to block the black iron gate.

"Please open the cell door, please. These two people are here to clean up the remaining souls!" the guard from the Palm Immortal Division who led the way came forward and said.

"Token!"

The two of them raised their heads, revealing a pair of strange ruby-like eyes.

The guard leading the way took out a token, and after the two of them checked it, they brought the euphorbia.

Creak, creak, creak!

The heavy black iron gate slowly opened, revealing a passage two people high and one foot wide. Glazed lamps were hung on both sides, illuminating the passage as pale as snow, revealing small black iron doors one after another.

The guard took back the token and continued walking inside, followed closely by the two of them.

"Fellow Taoist, are all the prisoners behind the door?" Xu Mu asked.

The guard said without looking back: "Not bad!"

"Why can't I hear any movement?" Xu Mu asked.

The guard turned around and looked at him doubtfully, and said: "Friend Daoist, you are kidding! The prisoners who were imprisoned have either lost their cultivation, or have been sealed by layers of restrictions. Let alone make a sound, they cannot even move. ! What's more, the walls of the cell are engraved with soundproof formations, so even if you cast a spell inside, it won't be transmitted!"

"Haha! I'm sorry! This is my first time in a place like this, and I made fellow Taoists laugh!" Xu Mu said a little embarrassed.

He thought that this heavenly prison was the same as a mortal cell, and ventilation and the like had to be considered.

"It's okay! I had the same reaction the first time!"

The guard said nothing and continued to lead the way. On the contrary, Xu Lingyu gave him a slightly surprised look.

Xu Mu continued to ask: "Fellow Taoist, can you briefly tell us about the situation in the Tianlao so that I can be mentally prepared?"

"Can!"

The guard nodded and said: "The entire sky prison is divided into nine floors. They are held according to their cultivation level and the size of the crime. There are guards on each floor. I cannot tell you the specific cultivation level and number. The number of cells decreases as you go down. …”

What the guard said was not a secret, it was just to prevent the two of them from violating taboos.

The three of them walked all the way to the eighth floor of the dungeon before stopping and entering a spacious hall. Inside, there were ten large tripods with two ears and three legs. Among them, nine tripods of about the same size were arranged in a special way. Scattered around the main hall, there is another large cauldron that is ten times the size of the surroundings standing in the center.

At this time, there were many people standing in the main hall, passing shuttles back and forth between the ten great cauldrons, as if they were observing the words on the cauldrons. When they heard the two people coming in, many people turned their heads and glanced at them. , and then quickly turned back, paying no attention to the appearance of the two people.

"These tripods are recorded with the techniques for controlling the tripod. You two can study them carefully. As for the specific start time of the mission, you will have to wait until the prince comes to know!"

After saying this, the guard who led the way took his leave and left, leaving the two of them behind.

Xu Mu walked towards one of the big cauldrons.
