Guarding the Prison for 100 Years, I Emerge to Overwhelm the Demon Venerable

After improving the Dragon Phoenix Dao Scripture, a myriad of insights flooded Su Bai’s mind.

Once he had fully absorbed all these insights into the Divine Techniques, he opened his eyes and gently pointed forward.

In an instant, a peculiar aura overflowed from his fingertip.

His touch was like tapping the surface of a tranquil lake, sending layers of ripples spreading out to an infinite distance.

The next moment, the scene before Su Bai’s eyes suddenly froze. The wind stopped blowing, and the clouds ceased to drift.

Even the clouds on the horizon seemed to have been smeared across the sky with paint by a laughing child, fixed completely in place.

Time and space themselves seemed to stand still at that moment.

Then...

A power that defied order was quietly born.

It was like the roar of a Dragon and Phoenix, echoing in his ears.

Su Bai watched as the void before him silently shattered, turning into a state of chaotic nothingness.

Vast amounts of crimson-gold light and shadow intertwined above his head.

Just as Su Bai was marveling at the terrifying might of the Super-Grade Divine Techniques, he suddenly sensed something.

He looked up abruptly.

Above him, a great golden sun and a scorching crimson sun were slowly rising and intertwining.

Brilliant sunlight washed over Su Bai’s face like waves.

His gaze was fixed on this scene as he murmured to himself.

’This isn’t just a simple celestial phenomenon...’

In his perception, this Super-Grade Divine Technique had also stirred a trace of the mighty power of the world’s laws.

Although it was still a far cry from the Fourth Immortal Golden Body Transformation, it was nonetheless astonishing.

...

「Dayu Immortal Dynasty.」

「Imperial Capital Immortal City.」

One magnificent palace after another stood within the Imperial City.

Above the Immortal City.

Purple Qi rose from the east, and wisps of immortal mist drifted ethereally.

Seven-colored elk and thirty-foot-tall white cranes often cried out and galloped by, while Dragons and Phoenixes peeked out, their might pressing down upon the nine heavens.

Before the staggered layers of palace complexes stood a gatehouse of alternating gold and purple. A silver plaque hung high above the gate.

Inscribed upon it were three words—Heaven-Ascending Pavilion!

Within the pavilion was a palace named Yu Immortal Hall.

At this moment, inside Yu Immortal Hall.

A young man with hair like a waterfall, a noble and imposing bearing, and an immaculate silver robe sat upon a high platform within the hall.

In front of him was a Go board that seemed to flow with the rhythm of the Dao, making it appear quite mystical.

Every black and white stone shimmered with a charm that ordinary people could not comprehend.

There was no one in front of the man, yet he held a white stone, a faint smile in his eyes, as he played against some unknown entity.

But just as he picked up a smooth white stone from the jade basin at his side, before he could even decide where on the board to place it...

Suddenly...

A profound aura spread from an extremely distant place.

It caused the void to ripple.

Like a cool breeze sweeping across rivers, lakes, and seas.

CLACK—

The white stone in the silver-robed man’s hand fell onto the board. Accompanied by a flow of yin-yang energy, the entire Go board instantly disintegrated.

The silver-robed man seemed not to care at all. Instead, he abruptly raised his head, his profound gaze fixed on a certain point in the void.

Within his pale golden eyes, for a single moment, scenes of the sun and moon rising and the seasons changing seemed to appear.

An unknown amount of time passed before the silver-robed man finally snapped back to his senses.

The relaxed smile on his face was completely gone, replaced by a look of profound shock.

’Yin and yang reversed... a great sun rising...’

’Faintly, there was a scene of a Golden Dragon roaring at the sun and a crimson Phoenix crying out, appearing in the sky...’

’Who is this person?’

’To use such a Divine Technique and actually interfere with the order of heaven and earth?’

The silver-robed youth murmured slowly, muttering to himself.

Overcome with curiosity, he could no longer sit still. With a flick of his sleeve, he was gone.

In an instant, he vanished without a trace.

...

Su Bai had only briefly used the Dragon Phoenix Dao Scripture, slightly stirring the rules and order of the world’s operation.

Like an unwitting butterfly quietly flapping its wings,

he had unknowingly, at one end of the world, kicked up a small storm of speculation among a certain level of experts.

Countless major figures had their Heart Spirits shaken by this.

Su Bai, however, didn’t think much of it.

He was currently immersed in the immense power of the Dragon Phoenix Dao Scripture.

’This power of the Dragon and Phoenix, a mere trace of it, can turn a patch of the void into chaotic nothingness.’

’If it were used on a person, what would the effect be?’

Su Bai looked up at the two great suns gradually fading in the sky, a thousand thoughts running through his mind.

Super-Grade Divine Techniques were truly extraordinary, far surpassing ordinary Divine Technique Tiers. The depth of the mysteries they contained was simply unimaginable.

’And this is only the 4th Layer of Divine Techniques. If I were to raise this Divine Technique to the Perfection of the Thirteen Layers Realm...’

’What kind of scene would unfold then?’

However, raising this Super-Grade Divine Technique to the Realm of Perfection would likely be quite difficult.

The amount of Experience Points required was as vast as the ocean.

This matter was too distant for him to concern himself with at the moment.

Su Bai slowly shook his head, setting the thought aside for now.

Then, a look of joy appeared on his face.

It was clear that the potential and power of this fused Super-Grade Divine Technique, the Dragon Phoenix Dao Scripture, was perhaps in no way inferior to the Immortal Golden Body!

Moreover, in many situations, this Divine Technique might even be more useful than the Immortal Golden Body.

’After all, to unleash the full power of the Fourth Immortal Golden Body Transformation, I have to transform into the body of the Sun and Moon True Dragon. The commotion is too great, too world-shocking.’

’And even if I do transform, the amount of True Qi needed to move and fight is simply too massive...’

’I can’t sustain it for very long.’

Now, he had a Super-grade Cultivation Method for his body and a Super-Grade Divine Technique for his Divine Spirit.

With this, Su Bai had gained another trump card. With both his Soul Body and physical body covered, he no longer had any weaknesses.

...

It was already afternoon by the time Su Bai returned to the prison.

Su Bai quietly slipped back into the B Prison Area.

After slacking off for a whole day, time had quietly passed.

Su Bai was now an Eighth-Grade Captain, after all.

Naturally, he no longer had to deal with trivial matters.

He even rarely bothered to personally imprison criminals anymore.

Before, he had been enthusiastic about it because his Realm was still low and he was in desperate need of Experience Points.

But now, the Experience Points from imprisoning these criminals weren’t even enough to get stuck in his teeth.

After all, thanks to his recent series of actions, the territory of Great Xia had become much more stable. As a result, the criminals being sent in didn’t have high Cultivation levels.

Their crimes were just petty thefts.

Both the righteous and demonic paths had clearly become much more low-key.

After chatting with Zhang Wei and the others in the lounge for a while,

Su Bai decided it was time to create a new source of income!

After a moment of thought, a person came to his mind.

Ming Luo Ancestor!

From his conversation with the Great Sect Elder, Su Bai had learned that this person had a Cultivation of the Ninth Tribulation Realm Ninth Layer.

If he could capture and suppress him, Su Bai’s Experience Points earnings would surely increase by a huge margin!

Furthermore, the Sun and Moon Sect, to which this person belonged, was a top-tier power in Canglan City. It certainly wouldn’t lack Nine Tribulations Realm experts.

If he brought them all back in one go, the Experience Points earnings would be...

’Alright, I’ll head to Canglan City and bring back some local specialties.’

Su Bai made up his mind.

Under the flickering firelight, he walked slowly toward the residence of the Prison Suppression Bureau’s Prison Lord, Chen Tianfeng.

The slightly dim corridor was rather quiet.

Only the rhythmic sound of Su Bai’s footsteps echoed in an orderly fashion.

TAP! TAP!

...

TAP! TAP!

「Outside the Great Xia Domain, at the Celestial Net Sword Sect.」

Within a long, narrow, jade corridor, the Celestial Net Ancestor and the middle-aged, white-robed Sword Cultivator were walking forward.

"Ancestor, are we really going to move against Tian Qing Ancestor?"

At a certain moment, the middle-aged Sword Cultivator beside him bowed slightly, his expression hesitant as he spoke.

Although the Lord of Heavenly Punishment had previously specified that they hand over the grandfather of the Celestial Net Swordsmaster—that is, Tian Qing Ancestor—

he was afraid that doing so would stir up turmoil within the Celestial Net Sword Sect!

After all, behind every ancestor stood a massive interest group.

It was a tangled mess of chaos.

"Hmph!"

The Celestial Net Ancestor’s face was livid, his expression dark and grim.

He snorted coldly. "That junior, Tian Qing, relying on the Third Prince’s backing, does he really think..."

"...that I can’t deal with him!?"

His eyes flickered, and a murderous intent erupted in his heart!

Tian Qing Ancestor had indulged his young grandson, allowing him to wreak havoc in the sect for years. How could he, the Ancestor, not be aware?

But since he resided in Cangzhou and was rarely in the sect, and for various other reasons, he could only turn a blind eye.

But now that the senior had spoken,

it was the perfect opportunity. He could use this chance to personally suppress this man, haul him off to the Great Xia Prison, and hand him over to that senior.

It would also count as ridding the sect of a pest!

"Ancestor..."

The middle-aged Sword Cultivator hesitated, looking as if he wanted to say more.

"Say no more."

"My mind is made up on this matter!"

The Celestial Net Ancestor cut him off directly, his face cold.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged Sword Cultivator immediately fell silent.

The two walked for a short while before passing through the corridor, where a splendid and magnificent palace building appeared before them.

"Heh... That junior Tian Qing really knows how to enjoy himself!"

When the Celestial Net Ancestor sensed that the still youthful-looking Tian Qing Ancestor was inside the palace with a woman in each arm,

his voice turned ice-cold.

Moreover, he could sense that the women in the palace carried a strong Demonic Qi!

Evidently, these people were disciples of the Demon Saint Sect.

Instantly, his gaze turned frigid!

The next moment, he suddenly thrust out his hand!

BOOM—

A colossal hand, as if propping up the heavens, seemed to blot out the sky and sun.

In an instant, it shattered the palace building before them.

At that moment, the earth quaked and the mountains swayed!

Dust and smoke filled the air!

"What’s happening? An enemy attack!?"

"Oh no! How did Tian Qing Ancestor’s palace get destroyed?"

"That’s... the Sword Saint, Celestial Net Ancestor!"

The disciples who had rushed over at the sound all had looks of shock.

When they realized it was the Celestial Net Ancestor who had acted,

many of the disciples were simply stunned into place.

"Stand down!"

The next moment, a majestic voice entered the disciples’ ears.

"Yes, Ancestor!"

The disciples dared not defy the Celestial Net Ancestor’s words and hastily bowed in response.

Even the few Elders who had just appeared hurriedly bowed their heads and distanced themselves from the area.

Although they didn’t understand the specifics of the situation, they could roughly guess that a great battle was about to take place!

As expected, just two or three breaths after everyone had left,

RUMBLE!

A blood-stained figure in a Black Robe shot up from the ruins!

This person stood in the sky, radiating a powerful aura!

The next breath,

he fixed his gaze on the Celestial Net Ancestor, his face slightly savage and his expression grim, and demanded,

"Celestial Net Ancestor! What is the meaning of this!?"

"Merely suppressing you."

The white-browed old man spoke slowly.

Then, before Tian Qing Ancestor could grasp the deeper meaning of his words,

the white-browed old man formed a sword with his fingers!

His fingertips sliced through the void.

In an instant.

The rosy clouds scattered, and a sword’s hum arose!

SWISH!!

A torrent of silver erupted from the ground!

It vanished in a flash,

completely engulfing Tian Qing Ancestor’s figure.

"Damn you, Celestial Net Ancestor! The Third Prince will not let you get away with this!"

"AHHH!!"

A tragic roar echoed through the sky.

The Celestial Net Ancestor reached out with his right hand and beckoned with a finger.

The next moment, an old man in a Black Robe, severely injured and on the verge of death, fell from the sky into his hand.

The man’s head hung low, his aura incredibly weak.

"Heh heh... The Third Prince!?"

"In front of that senior, the Third Prince is nothing!"

The Celestial Net Ancestor couldn’t help but spit.

A glob of thick saliva landed on the black-robed old man’s face.

His body twitched, trembling slightly.

But he could only lie there like a dead dog, held firmly in the Celestial Net Ancestor’s grasp.

"Tian Xiao, you handle the sect’s internal affairs."

The Celestial Net Ancestor glanced at the middle-aged Sword Cultivator at his side and gave a simple command.

"Yes!"

The middle-aged Sword Cultivator hurriedly bowed in response.

After giving his orders, the Celestial Net Ancestor looked up in the direction of the Great Xia Imperial City.

Then, his figure flashed as he shot into the sky, laughing heartily.

"I am off to deliver another great gift to that senior!"

As his voice fell,

he stood atop the clouds holding the Demon, and his figure disappeared into the Cloud Sea.

He strode through the air and was gone!
