Chapter 845: Chapter 239: Studying the Power of the Human Emperor, The Rebirth of the Ghost Prison

Even if it’s noisy, it’s quite nice.

...

A few days later.

Heavy snow.

Li Yuan sat quietly in front of the giant black egg, with a crow perched on his shoulder.

Xiao Wu Ya was describing the distant bustling scene to him.

Xie Wei and Xie Yu had made the house pretty, Xiaozhen happily looked at the colorful lights, waving her little hands.

Li Yuan smiled, then gazed at the thick black fog before him.

If it weren’t for Sister Yan sending him Points daily without fail, he would have suspected that she had already encountered trouble.

This data had become a thread that maintained the connection between him and Sister Yan.

Li Yuan touched the pre-prepared Spring Dream Brew, poured two cups, drank one himself, and poured the other toward the distant black egg.

After pouring it, he remained silent for a long time, then drank cup after cup.

"Your mother is fine."

Li Yuan spoke to Xiao Wu Ya.

Xiao Wu Ya nodded, whispered, "I know, if something had happened to mother, I would have sensed it."

Cang Xue, Black Crow, one person, one drink, toasting toward the distant dark and vast Ghost Realm...

Shortly after, Xiao Wu Ya suddenly said, "Dad, the Fourth Grade you were looking for has appeared.

That is a Vice Sect Leader of the Lotus Sect, from the Red Lotus Sect, named Han Lin’er, who has been committing all kinds of evil along the way, and is now fleeing."

Li Yuan knew that throughout this year, the Human Emperor had been traversing the Social World, reclaiming the former territories, bringing all unrest under control.

The remnants of the Lotus Sect at Huakai Town had finally been unearthed by him.

During this period, Firefly Demon and Peng Mi had both sought him, but because he no longer had the "Temporary Nine Dao Patrol Token," he was unable to reach the distant Yanyun Dao in the north.

Previously, the Central Plains and Ice Barbarians had fought fiercely, coupled with the Human Emperor traversing the land, countless had died, leading Firefly Demon and Peng Mi to assume he had met some fate amidst the chaos of recent years, and thus ceased to care.

Subsequently, Peng Mi planned to surrender.

However, the Human Emperor did not permit traitors to surrender.

As a result, most of the Lotus Sect could not surrender.

Peng Mi seemed to have been executed on the spot.

And Han Lin’er, being very wicked, was not among those allowed to surrender, hence he fled early, likely now facing bounties and pursuits from various places.

But Han Lin’er is cunning, and fear he found some way, reaching near the Southern Land, but unfortunately was still targeted by Li Yuan.

Li Yuan had been searching for High Grade existences to conduct experiments throughout this year.

He tried using the Sixth Grade.

Sixth Grade insisted slightly longer than ordinary people, but the results were entirely the same.

He then tried using the Fifth Grade.

Yet Fifth Grade merely showed initial symptoms, neither dying nor being attacked, nor did anything else happen.

He also tested what changes would occur when altering the "Experiment Location."

The results showed that those observing the "Vortex" would undergo changes depending on the surrounding "temperature" and "light-darkness."

The higher the temperature, the brighter the light, the quicker the death.

The manner of death was mostly self-immolation.

Those seeing the "Wood" were seemingly associated with "plants," "wind," and such.

The more trees around, the stronger the wind, the quicker the death.

The manner of death was mostly forming trees within the body, turning into "Tree People."

It’s easy to find wicked ones among the Fifth and Sixth Grades, but the Fourth Grade is indeed hard to find.

Given the recent news, Li Yuan planned to capture this Han Lin’er.

However, he did not plan to go himself.

He wanted to stay in Shanbao County.

"It’ll be him."

"Alright, Dad."

Xiao Wu Ya jumped on his shoulder cheerfully.

On the other side, a woman transformed by Tree Granny was swiftly moving forward, holding a cane.

...

After more than a month.

A straightforward-looking man who didn’t appear to be a bad person was thrown before Li Yuan.

The man tried to get up, but tree roots piercing from the ground fastened him dead on the ground.

Li Yuan glanced at the sky.

The sunshine was nice.

So, he tossed the "Vortex" orb before Han Lin’er and said, "Stare at it, or I’ll hand you over to the Human Emperor."

Han Lin’er immediately wilted.

The Human Emperor had now seized legacies across the realm, holding an outrageous number of treasures. If he wished to pry Han Lin’er’s secrets and locate where he had hidden other Essence Blood, it was not impossible.

"Who are you?"

He tilted his head, trying to discern this masked person before him.

He had never heard of such a master in this land.

But now...

Han Lin’er recalled the woman behind him.

As a dignified Fourth Grade, he couldn’t resist in the presence of this mysterious woman.

Yet, this woman showed great respect toward the man before him.

He couldn’t fathom it.

This land was no longer the Lotus Sect’s.

"What is this?" He could only ask.

Li Yuan didn’t use any provocations, merely replied calmly, "Watch."

Han Lin’er had no choice but to stare.

For a long time... a long time, even longer, after three days, Han Lin’er remained unaffected.

He had been observing this "Vortex" for three days and nights.

"Please let me go..."

Han Lin’er pleaded, "I’m still Fourth Grade, I’m willing to serve you with all my might."

Li Yuan said nothing, only instructed Xiaozhao beside him, "Lock him up first."

Xiaozhao responded "Oh," and Tree Granny’s roots immediately began to proliferate densely, weaving into a cage around Han Lin’er, then swiftly sank into the earth, imprisoning the Fourth Grade.

"Dad, why is he okay?"

Li Yuan shook his head.

He had conducted numerous experiments.

From the most direct logic, this pattern appeared to be merely effective against Low Grades, and its attack power was incredibly slow.

Yet, this was something he extracted from the fully powerful Human Emperor, something even he couldn’t comprehend at all, which made him dizzy just by looking at it.

Therefore, the most direct logic must be wrong.

But if it’s not this, then what is it?

As Li Yuan was pondering, suddenly his eyes twitched, then his heart began to beat wildly without reason.

In front of him, not far from the black egg, seemed to rotate like a black hole devouring space-time, akin to a spinning wheel.

After being dormant for more than two years and having absorbed Paradise Garden and many surrounding Ghost Realms, Ghost Prison finally showed signs of activity.

Li Yuan pulled Xiaozhao and retreated to a distance.

Father and daughter stepped far away, watching from afar.

In their sight, the Ghost Prison began to transform, a sinister palace arose, surrounded by gloomy ice mountains, massive pestles, flamboyant red flowers, a peculiar iron tree full of sharp blades, steaming steamers, and fiery red columns...

A thousand ghosts, ten thousand ghosts, crawling forward, ominously terrifying, indescribable.

In the utmost palace, a woman in cyan clothing with floral attire silently watched the distant.

"Mom!" Xiaozhao joyfully called out.

She just wanted to fly over, but Li Yuan instantly pulled her back.

Because, in his eyes, two other enormously large Yin Qis, immense enough to make him feel incredibly fearful, were approaching from afar, seemingly about to collide with this newly born Ghost Prison!!
