Chapter 3311: Inquiring About the Thousand Chains Prison

Duan Ling Tian was enlightened upon hearing Sun Xing’s words. He used to wonder how the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor of the Heavenly Pool Palace was related to the Howling Heaven Celestial Dog that belonged to Erlang G.o.d. If he was indeed the Howling Heaven Celestial Dog, he should be in one of the heaven-grade forces in the Jade Emperor Heaven. Why was he in the Boundless Heaven’s heaven-grade Heavenly Pool Palace instead? As it turns out, the Howling Heaven Celestial Dog and Yang Jian had a fallout. He was rather curious about the conflict that made the Howling Heaven Celestial Dog leave the Jade Emperor Heaven for the Heavenly Pool Palace in the Boundless Heaven that he was not familiar with.

Duan Ling Tian mused inwardly, ‘Perhaps, Sun Xing doesn’t know the reason as well. After all, he joined the Heavenly Pool Palace as soon as he left the Yan Huang Realm and ascended to the Boundless Heaven…’

“Both of you are from the same planet?” Liu Bai Feng was surprised when she heard Duan Ling Tian and Sun Xing’s conversation.

“Even my master is from the same planet,” Sun Xing smiled as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Junior Brother Duan, let’s exchange Soul Pearls… Let’s have a drink when I’m free. When it’s convenient for you, I’d like to bring you to meet my master. He’ll definitely be happy to meet you.” He was much friendlier now compared to earlier where he was just polite. It was as though he had known Duan Ling Tian for years.

“Alright.” Similarly, Duan Ling Tian also felt a sense of familiarity with Sun Xing due to them coming from the same place. Therefore, he did not hesitate to exchange Soul Pearls with Sun Xing.

After a moment, Sun Xing nodded to the others and bade Duan Ling Tian farewell before he left. “Junior Brother Duan, I’ll take my leave first.”

After Liu Bai Feng spoke a few more words to Lu Ji, she took her leave as well.

When Duan Ling Tian continued on his journey back to the cultivation ground, Hong Fei said, “Little Junior Brother, you can’t trust him completely even if both of you came from the same place. I’ve never seen him so enthusiastic and friendly toward someone before.” He was suspicious since he felt Sun Xing’s behavior was unlike him.

“Fatty, Senior Brother Sun Xing doesn’t necessarily have any bad intentions. Moreover, with his strength, he doesn’t benefit from being friendly to Little Junior Brother, right?” Hu Mei said after she shook her head.

“Third Senior Sister, I beg to differ. From what I know, there are many beautiful female disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace who are interested in Sun Xing, and yet, he ignores them. Isn’t that weird? Maybe he likes men? Little Junior Brother is so handsome, it’s not surprising if he likes Little Junior Brother,” Hong Fei replied.

Wen Wan’er laughed upon hearing Hong Fei’s words. Then, she asked meaningfully, “Sixth Junior Brother, are you still upset about Junior Sister Xiao Feng’s rejection? Do you dislike Senior Brother Sun Xing because she said she likes a man like Senior Brother Sun Xing?”

“Fourth Senior Sister!” Hong Fei exclaimed, fl.u.s.tered. Wen Wan’er had hit the nail on the head.

“Alright, alright, I won’t say a word anymore.” Wen Wan’er shook her head and chuckled.

Hu Mei laughed. “Fatty, I didn’t expect you to hold a grudge against Senior Brother Sun Xing because of this matter. Didn’t he reject Junior Sister Xiao Feng anyway?’

“Little Junior Brother,” Hong Fei ignored Hu Mei and said to Duan Ling Tian, “I’m saying this not because of that matter. I really think he’s weird.”

Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile on his face, “Sixth Senior Brother, you’re not an ascender, right?”

Hong Fei was confused by Duan Ling Tian’s question, but he still nodded. “You’re right. However, what does that have to do with this matter?”

Not only was Hong Fei born in a Devata Realm, but he was also a direct descendant of the Hong clan, a supreme-grade force in the Boundless Heaven. His grandfather was the Clan Leader of the Hong clan.

“Those who are not ascenders will never understand the feelings when ascenders from the same place meet in a Devata Realm,” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly as he explained, “Not only is each Devata Realm extremely vast, but there are 81 Devata Realms as well. What are the odds of meeting someone from your home planet in a Devata Realm? The probability of one in a million is not an exaggeration in this case.”

After discovering Sun Xing was from earth, Duan Ling Tian had an explicable sense of camaraderie with Sun Xing. Although they were from different times, he felt like Sun Xing was an old friend.

At this moment, Lu Ji said, “Little Junior Brother is right. I’m an ascender as well so I understand his feelings. If I meet someone from the same place I came from, I’d probably have a good feeling about him immediately…”

Hong Fei fell silent. He dared to refute his other seniors’ words, but he did not dare to do so toward Lu Ji and their Eldest Senior Sister.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Hu Mei and asked, “Third Senior Sister. A few days ago, I heard someone mention the Thousand Chains Prison… Does such a place exist in the Heavenly Pool Palace?”

The Thousand Chains Prison!

Huan’er’s eyes lit up instantly when she heard Duan Ling Tian mention the Thousand Chains Prison where her father was imprisoned. Her body involuntarily stiffened as she waited for Hu Mei’s reply.

“The Thousand Chains Prison?” Hu Mei seemed startled by Duan Ling Tian’s question. She asked curiously, “Why are you asking, Little Junior Brother?”

“I’m just curious,” Duan Ling Tian replied nonchalantly with a smile.

Before Hu Mei replied, Hong Fei said, “Little Junior Brother. I know about the Thousand Chains Prison… It’s a prison built by the Heavenly Pool Palace. Members who have committed grave sins are imprisoned there. It’s said that there are all kinds of physical and soul punishment devices there. Many perish in there because they were unable to withstand the torture.”

Upon hearing Hong Fei’s terrifying description of the Thousand Chains Prison, Huan’er paled, and her grip on Duan Ling Tian’s arm tightened.

Duan Ling Tian gently patted Huan’er’s hand before he continued to ask, “Where’s the Thousand Chains Prison located?”

“It’s a slight distance away from the back of the Prodigy Arena,” Hong Fei replied, “It’s constantly guarded by powerful elders. No one’s allowed to enter without permission. Only disciples who volunteer to be wardens have access to the prison.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes gleamed upon hearing Hong Fei’s words. He asked, “Volunteer to be a warden? What are the requirements to become a warden of the Thousand Chains Prison?”

Hong Fei replied, “Only prodigious disciples are allowed to volunteer as wardens. This was a rule created by one of the former Palace Masters of the Heavenly Pool Palace. What was he thinking when he stipulated only prodigious disciples can volunteer. Is there any prodigious disciple who has the time to become a warden in the Thousand Chains Prison?”

Lu Ji looked at Hong Fei before he said, “Volunteering at the Thousand Chains Prison comes with huge responsibilities. Not only are members of the Heavenly Pool Palace imprisoned there, but there are outsiders as well. In fact, it’s said there are a few t.i.tled Celestial Emperors imprisoned there as well. It’s likely that those t.i.tled Celestial Emperors tried to harm the palace or slighted the palace. I heard some of them can’t be killed due to their comprehension of the law of earth. After all, with the law of earth, their defenses are extremely good. One can only dream about breaking them out of prison. In the past, there was a t.i.tled Celestial Emperor who was freed by his descendant. After that, he ma.s.sacred many Heavenly Pool Palace disciples. In the end, he was captured and defeated by the Palace Master again. Since prodigious disciples were carefully selected, there was a low chance of them being spies who came to release prisoners. As expected, after the rule was created, there were little to no incidents of prisoners escaping from the Thousand Chains Prison.”

Duan Ling Tian learned a lot about the Thousand Chains Prison from Lu Ji.

“The wardens will be stationed at the Thousand Chains Prison for a certain period of time… Apart from that, they’ll be rewarded generously with Royal Grade Celestial Crystals for their services,” Lu Ji added.

“Second Senior Brother.” Hu Mei looked at Lyu Ji. “I remember… You and Eldest Senior Sister used to be wardens in the Thousand Chains Prison, right?”

“That’s right.” Lu Ji nodded. “In fact, there’s something none of you know… Eldest Senior Sister started to comprehend the law of death because of the Thousand Chains Prison. The Thousand Chains Prison is filled with death aura so it’s the best place to comprehend the law of death. Before Eldest Senior Sister left the Heavenly Pool Palace, she was the head of the Thousand Chains Prison wardens.”

Duan Ling Tian was surprised. The Eldest Senior Sister he had yet to meet used to be the head of the Thousand Chains Prison wardens?
