Chapter 48: The Concept of the Desolate Prison

  On this road, Yang Le took Xia Lin and Qiu Ming's two maidservants. To say that leaving them behind, in this endless volcanic swamp lake, living for a year or two is still lucky. Looking at the two young women as beautiful as flowers, their bodies dying and their souls disappearing, who can bear such a heart? Who made Yang Le so soft-hearted?!

  Gritting his teeth, he decided that bringing two more people wouldn't be a bother and could also ask about the distribution of powers in the southern part of Honghuang and its surrounding seas.

  According to the information gathered over the years, Yang Le knew that the Hongyuan people divided the Hongyuan into four major regions, calling the Eastern Continent Shen Zhou, the Southern Continent Lin Ze Zhou, the Western Continent Lin Yuan Zhou, and the Northern Continent Wang Qin Zhou. Some of the major powers on the surface include the Nine Great Heavenly Courts, the Four Great Mysterious Organizations, as well as some medium-sized powers such as the Qinglong Empire established by Ba Jian, the Kuangyu Canyon established by Manhuang, and the Qin Tian Dynasty mentioned earlier.

  However, the Primordial Chaos is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The water here is deep! For example, the Evil Emperor that Yang Le met last time was also one of the top in the Divine and Magic Realms, but he turned out to be a member of an unknown alliance, which seems to be extremely extraordinary as well!

  Standing on the cloud head, Yang Le was also pondering his own character and the cruel killings in Honghuang, which were at odds with each other, and would bring about a fatal disaster, even affecting Xianyao Island.

  However, Yang Le's true nature was like this, although he couldn't be a good person, he definitely couldn't indiscriminately kill the innocent or have a bloodthirsty personality with his hands stained with fresh blood. Even if Yang Le wasn't a cultivator who feared heart demons, his heart would still be filled with repressed feelings that went against his true nature, which was also not beneficial for cultivation.

  Some people say that in order to survive in the wilderness, one must have a ruthless heart and engage in frenzied slaughter; showing mercy to enemies is equivalent to being cruel to oneself.

  Is it really going to change? Must it change?

  Yang Le is not just a person who goes crazy and kills people for the sake of survival, no, that's not human anymore, it's just a creature that abandons everything for survival, completely abandoning the most basic moral principles and values that humans should be proud of!

  Although Yang Le is now, strictly speaking, a witch, a direct descendant of Pangu's chaotic bloodline, he thinks he is a human being. As long as he has those qualities, whether he is a god, demon or witch, Yang Le believes that is what makes him human. If he loses the qualities of being human, he is just a crazy beast, not human at all.

  Of course, in such a treacherous and chaotic world, it's occasionally forgivable to sneak around and deceive these bad habits. After all, there's no one who can righteously condemn you. In this chaotic world where killing is as easy as chopping vegetables, if you kill fewer enemies and show more tolerance, others will even call you a good person! Moreover, in some special situations, it's also forgivable to make mistakes occasionally. After all, nobody is a saint, as long as they don't deliberately trample on people's bottom line.

  It was clear that Yang Le had begun to ponder the issue of how to deal with enemies in the future. The more powers he came into contact with in the vast wilderness, the more causes and effects would arise, and it was inevitable that killings would occur. However, once the killings started, who could stop them?

  In the end, the victor will stand on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, amidst a vast pile of bones.

  That was not the life Yang Le wanted, nor was it his goal. He hated killing, he wanted everything to be harmonious and peaceful, he wanted to fish in leisure, taste tea and watch the clouds, take his beautiful wife and concubines on a tour of the beautiful scenery of the vast wilderness, pursue the ultimate truth of the Tao, and enjoy infinite life.

  He was contemplating, contemplating how to proceed in the future, and contemplating how to deal with enemies and threatening existences or forces.

  Yang Le rummaged through the meager knowledge in his mind, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck, and the renowned Demon-Suppressing Tower appeared in Yang Le's mind.

  That's right, Yang Le thought of putting all the gods, demons and monsters that offended him into the Demon Tower he envisioned, establishing the first prison in the vast wilderness!

  Some gods, demons and monsters who have no great hatred for the sake of interest may be detained for thousands or tens of millions of years to consider whether to release them. As for those enemies with deep hatred, sorry, they will be imprisoned for life!

  Yang Le was delighted with this idea and continued to think about it and study further.

  First, three towers need to be built: the Divine Prison Tower for detaining divine beings, the Purgatory Tower for detaining demon gods, and the Demon-Suppressing Tower for detaining evil spirits. Each tower must have functions such as spirit sealing, self-contained space, absorption of divine power, demonic power, and evil power, etc., to enhance defense.

  For the sake of future generations, Yang Le was seriously designing these three top-notch heavenly prisons that would make gods, demons and monsters tremble with fear, and people of later generations would talk about them with relish, countless myths were derived from them.

  "Master, we're almost at Lingpo Mountain." A clear voice awakened Yang Le from his reverie.

  "Oh? Oh!", Yang Le heard that Lingpo Mountain was approaching soon, and thinking that he would be committing a crime later, Yang Le couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

  Yang Le knew that this time he had to secretly pick the Xiang Luan grass. Although the nine-tailed fox was relatively weak among the heavenly beasts, it was still the ancestor of the nine-tailed fox clan. It was said that it had just advanced to the Supreme Heavenly Beast not long ago. Once a fight broke out and attracted a group of Supreme Heavenly Beasts or one or two Sacred Beasts, Yang Le would have to flee in defeat.

  In Xialing's explanation, Yang Le learned about the detailed division of the strength of the Tian Di Shou, the overlord of the Southern Lin Ze Continent.

  In Lin Zezhou, the strength of Tian Di Shou is divided from high to low into: Sacred Beast, Supreme Divine Beast, Upper Divine Beast, Middle Divine Beast, Lower Divine Beast.

  Heavenly beasts are born with unparalleled strength, even the lowest-ranking lower-level heavenly beast can rival the existence of the top god, demon king and demon king. The middle-level heavenly beast is on the same level as the ancient god, the upper-level heavenly beast corresponds to the existence of the god master, the supreme heavenly beast is comparable to the god, magic and demon, and the highest sacred beast can compete with the quasi-saintly existence.

  In the vast and boundless Lin Ze Zhou, there are only five known sacred beasts, guarding the paradise of divine beasts in Lin Ze Zhou to prevent it from being spied on by the major forces of Hong Huang.

  Due to certain agreements with various parties, the major powers and Lin Zezhou's Heavenly Earth Divine Beast would occasionally trade some of the necessary heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

  As for the chaos of the Four Fiends, the Heavenly and Earthly Divine Beasts did not participate, but it was because the Heavenly and Earthly Divine Beasts were scarce in number, and there was an agreement between them and the gods, demons, and spirits, so they remained independent of the various major powers and conflicts.

  What kind of agreement it was, Yang Le wasn't clear about either, but who cares!

  Yang Le leaned against the white clouds, suspended in the sky above Lingpo Mountain, which was tens of thousands of miles away. When he lowered his head, he saw that Lingpo Mountain was like a coiled snake, with a hundred million feet of mountain range winding and twisting, shrouded in a hazy primordial spiritual mist, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden. In the midst of this, there were mountain streams and waterfalls, apes playing, pines welcoming guests, small brooks flowing clearly, and spirit foxes chasing each other, all displaying a lively atmosphere, peaceful and serene.

  Yang Le couldn't help but secretly praise: what a wonderful place!
