Mo Wuji inserted the round moon key into the red round door's keyhole. With a light click, the red round moon door automatically opened. Without waiting for the round moon key to land on the ground, Mo Wuji directly grabbed it in his hand.
In front of him was a small courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard, there was even a small piece of barren land. However, there were no spiritual plants growing on the barren land. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. In the middle of the barren land was a stone path. The stone path led to a pavilion. Behind the pavilion was a house.
Just as Mo Wuji wanted to go over to take a look, the door behind him automatically closed. Seeing that there was still a round keyhole behind the door, Mo Wuji didn't mind. It was fine as long as he could open the door.
Mo Wuji walked across the stone path in the middle of the barren land and arrived at the pavilion. After entering the pavilion, Mo Wuji discovered that there was a corpse lying at the side of the pavilion.
It was different from the corpses that disappeared in the prison. This corpse was actually still intact. The bones were even emitting a faint golden light. Clearly, this corpse's cultivation was not simple. Perhaps this corpse was an expert above the Earthly Immortal Stage.
Mo Wuji bent down and examined the corpse carefully. There were no rings or treasures on the corpse.
Carefully flipping the corpse over, Mo Wuji discovered that the bones at the back of the corpse had turned black. It was probably stabbed in the back by a knife. Moreover, that knife was laced with poison.
Walking around the corpse, Mo Wuji carefully entered the house.
Compared to the prison outside, this house was much bigger. It looked like there were two rooms and a guest room.
In the guest room, there was a tea table. On the tea table, there was a teapot and a few jade cups. From the looks of it, it was obvious that it had been left untouched for many years.
The door to the first room was unlatched. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan it. However, he discovered that there seemed to be another corpse behind the door.
Not discovering any danger, Mo Wuji hurried over and opened the door.
Indeed, there was a corpse behind the door. This corpse was facing downwards. Surprisingly, his robes had not rotted. In his hand was a brush. However, only the shaft of the brush remained. The hair on the brush had already fallen off.
Mo Wuji flipped the corpse over. The area between the eyebrows of this corpse was completely black. Clearly, this person was killed by the same person as the one outside. Moreover, they used the same poisoned dagger.
The brush in this person's hand was obviously a real writing brush and not a magic treasure. In addition, the fatal wound was between his eyebrows, which meant that this person was completely unprepared for the person opposite him to kill him.
There were only two possibilities. One, the two of them had a very good relationship and trusted each other. Secondly, the disparity between their statuses was too great. In the eyes of the deceased, the other party wouldn't dare to make a move against him.
Just like the previous person, the ring on this guy's body was also gone.
Mo Wuji was a little speechless. They really plundered everything cleanly. If these two rings were still around, the items inside might be even more powerful than the rings of the Earth Immortals.
Mo Wuji started to size up the room. The room was about 20 square meters. There were many books around the room, and they were neatly arranged.
In the corner of the room, there was a desk with some manuscripts on it. On one side of the manuscript was a chain lock. Mo Wuji walked over slowly. He was worried that if these manuscripts were too old, they would be destroyed by the wind that he created.
When Mo Wuji got closer, he used his hands to pinch the manuscripts. Only then did he realise that these papers were made of an unknown material. They were actually extremely tough and did not show any signs of breaking.
Mo Wuji then picked up the chain lock. He immediately recognised that this chain lock was exactly the same as the one he saw in the prison.
Could it be that a prisoner was brought in here? Then the prisoner suddenly went berserk and killed the prison warden?
This was the most likely explanation, but Mo Wuji felt that it was the least likely. Even if the prisoner was brought in, the prison warden wouldn't be so unguarded against the prisoner. He might even let someone stab him between his eyebrows with a dagger.
Mo Wuji picked up the top piece of paper on the table. On it were some simple poems. It seemed like this warden was a lover of poetry. The second and third pieces of paper had some messy drawings on them. Mo Wuji couldn't tell what they were.
After putting these papers down, Mo Wuji bent down to pick up a piece of paper. Mo Wuji was immediately attracted by the contents of this paper.
"Meng Yinsan, Scarlet Thunder Star earth-type cultivator. Yong Ying Calendar 845, Year 3111, 14th June, advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Simple and honest, Five Star Genius. From cultivation to advancing into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, he used 196 years, 9 months and 17 days. On the same day, he entered Yong Ying 11th Prison, Half Moon Prison Cell 31.
During his time in Half Moon Prison, Meng Yinsan performed extremely well. After observation, he did not show any signs of irritation or rebelliousness. Yong Ying Calendar 845, Year 3224, 2nd July. He made a blood oath to forever be … "
He stopped writing at this point, as if something unexpected had happened after that.
Mo Wuji held the paper in his hand as he looked at the table and the seat in front of him. At this moment, a scene appeared in his mind. The prison warden who was killed was sitting on the chair, and Meng Yinsan was standing in front of him.
It seemed like Meng Yinsan's performance was very good, and he even made a blood oath to be loyal to a certain organisation. Thus, this prison warden trusted Meng Yinsan. He even helped Meng Yinsan unlock the chains and casually placed the chains on the table. At the same time, he started to record some information.
Just as this warden was recording down Meng Yinsan's brief process, Meng Yinsan suddenly attacked and killed this warden.
Perhaps the process was much more dangerous and complicated than he had expected, but he finally had some understanding of this Half Moon Prison.
Firstly, to be locked in the Half Moon Prison, one had to be a peak grade genius. Otherwise, one wouldn't even have the qualifications to be locked in. As for what grade Meng Yinsan's Five Star Genius was, Mo Wuji wasn't very clear. This fella was able to advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage in 190 years, so he definitely wasn't a simple person.
This fella actually stayed obediently under the watchful eyes of the Half Moon Prison warden for over a hundred years before suddenly making his move. This showed how much tolerance this fella had. As for that simple and honest character, Mo Wuji definitely didn't believe it. Putting aside their standpoints, for Meng Yinsan to be able to endure for so long and then suddenly kill a warden, how could he be an honest person?
Moreover, to be able to manage so many genius cultivators in the Half Moon Prison, it would be strange if he wasn't an honest person. This Meng Yinsan could have used over a hundred years of time to secretly cultivate and calculate the timing. Then, he made use of the time of the blood oath to suddenly make his move.
Who exactly was the owner of this Half Moon Prison, to actually imprison so many genius Heavenly Immortal cultivators? As for those Heavenly Immortal cultivators who weren't geniuses, what was the outcome?
Mo Wuji thought back to what Xu Chihuang said about breaking through the void, and wondered if it was referring to the situation of an Earthly Immortal breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Stage.
If that was the case, then after breaking through the void and becoming a Heavenly Immortal, there would actually be a Half Moon Prison waiting for him. No, it should be said that the Half Moon Prison was only one of the many prisons. Moreover, to enter the Half Moon Prison, one had to be a peak grade genius.
Mo Wuji walked to a book by the side and casually opened one. The first page wrote, "Liu Chengyi, Deep Ring Star Metal-Type cultivator, Six Star Genius. Yong Ying Calendar 844 Year 8721, 11th November, advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. On the same day, he entered Yong Ying 11th Prison, Half Moon Prison Room 19. Stubborn … "
At the back, there were even more detailed reports, and even the day he tried to cultivate was recorded in it.
After putting this book down, Mo Wuji took out the second book, and the contents on the first page were basically the same, "Jin Dai, Morning Grinding Star Water-Type cultivator, Five Star Genius. Yong Ying Calendar 845 Year 321, 13th January, advanced to Heavenly Immortal, entered Yong Ying's 11th Prison the next day, didn't like to talk, died on the 24th September of the same year … "
After flipping through more than ten books, they all had the same records. If the time of death was very short, then the book would be thinner, but if the time of death was long, then the book would be thicker.
With so many books here, it was obvious that many people had died, and later on, there would be people who added in.
"Ye Li, Earth Star Wood-Type cultivator, Four Star Genius. Yong Ying Calendar 844 Year 7690, 3rd April, advanced to Heavenly Immortal, entered Yong Ying's 11th Prison the same day. Half Moon Prison Room 83, stubborn … "
When Mo Wuji saw this book, his heart pounded. Could Earth Star be Earth? Unfortunately, the records at the back were all about Ye Li's situation in Half Moon Prison, and did not mention anything about Earth. Mo Wuji guessed that it was unlikely to be Earth, because Earth's spiritual energy was sparse, and even if one had a cultivation technique, it would be hard to cultivate, not to mention ascending.
Even though these books were not treasures, Mo Wuji still waved his hand, and kept them all in his storage ring. There were many details inside, and he would read them slowly when he had the time in the future.
After keeping the broken shackle, Mo Wuji left this room, and entered another room.
Just as Mo Wuji stepped into the room, a white light lit up in the middle of the room. At this moment, Mo Wuji realised that this room was actually the central hub. Mo Wuji was proficient in arrays, and with one look, he knew that someone was refining this place.
Evidently, this Half Moon Prison was a magic treasure, and it was probably something that surpassed a peak grade spiritual equipment. Unfortunately, the location to refine Half Moon Prison wasn't in this place. Mo Wuji didn't know which lucky fella actually managed to find a corner to refine Half Moon Prison.
No matter who it was, it would not be his friend. Once the other party refined Half Moon Prison, he would be finished. Mo Wuji's first reaction was to escape immediately.
But he immediately thought that if he were to escape from the entrance of Half Moon Prison now, it would be equivalent to courting death.
Fortunately, Mo Wuji was proficient in arrays, and he was able to see that there was a pattern to the array carvings in this central hub. Even though he could not stop the other party from refining Half Moon Prison, he could spread the news of the other party refining Half Moon Prison to everyone in Half Moon Prison.
There were so many people in Half Moon Prison, and this Half Moon Prison wasn't something that could be refined in a day or two. If the fella secretly refining Half Moon Prison was found, he would be dead.
