There was no light in the dark dungeon.
Ji Wuyu didn't know where this place was, but he knew that it was under Celestial World. As the second prince of the dynasty, he obviously knew about the secrets of Celestial World and the origin of its owner. In the past, he wasn't afraid to come here to have fun and even call his friends.
But he never thought that one day he would be imprisoned here and suffer the torture of the Soul Binding Chains.
"Hey, say something!" These days, he only knew that the person imprisoned with him was called Yan Chaoyang. Apart from that, he didn't get any other information. However, the name Yan Chaoyang was enough to explain most of his doubts. It was because he knew about Yan Chaoyang that he went to cooperate with Yan Li. He didn't expect that the person he had high hopes for was also a prisoner like him.
Yan Chaoyang didn't like to talk. After being imprisoned for almost a month, the number of words he spoke didn't exceed ten. He just sat there silently, like a stubborn rock, not speaking or moving. Tian Can buried new Soul Binding Chains in his body one after another. The pain he suffered was several times that of Ji Wuyu.
Ji Wuyu couldn't imagine how he could endure this silent loneliness. If it wasn't for the fact that he still had high hopes for his original beautiful life, he would've gone crazy a long time ago.
"You Yanshan Robber people are all freaks!" He muttered to himself, "Why must someone as noble as me be imprisoned with you? Don't tell me those demons really don't care about the face of the court? They dare to bully us openly, father won't let them go … "
As he spoke, he became a bit incoherent, "I don't care about Li Ku. The Battle of God Perishing back then had nothing to do with me! Li Ku made it clear that the people he killed were all related to that year … Why should I go to the immortal world with uncle? Isn't it better to just stay in Tianjing … "
"Damned demons, damned Li Ku …"
"When I sit on the throne, I'll make sure all of you die a horrible death!"
Clatter!
The door was suddenly kicked open from the outside. The sound of the black lock breaking and falling to the ground was so clear that Ji Wuyu shuddered. His pupils shrank to the size of a needle. He was thinking about what kind of torture he would suffer if he said those words just now.
But an unexpected person walked into the cell.
"Imperial Brother!" His body almost bounced up subconsciously as he shouted excitedly, "Imperial Brother, you've finally come to save me!"
Ji Wuji glanced over coldly. He first glanced at Yan Zhaoyang before fixing his gaze on Ji Wuyu. "Trash!"
It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over Ji Wuyu's head. He mournfully said, "Imperial Brother, I'm not their match at all! They don't fear the Imperial Court or Father at all. They captured me without any explanation! "
"I've told you that you'll get yourself into trouble sooner or later if you focus on politics!" Ji Wuji said coldly. "You can't even defeat Tiancan and Xue Kuang. Do you think you're worthy of being the Second Prince? Why don't you rot here? "
Ji Wuyu's body became even colder. "No, Imperial Brother … please don't … I'll go back and cultivate diligently. I won't seek pleasure anymore … I'll work hard. Imperial Brother, believe me. You have to believe me …"
His gaze suddenly pierced through the cell door and caught a glimpse of a figure. He couldn't help but shiver and yell, "Ninth Sister, it's Second Brother. He loves you the most. Please help me beg Imperial Brother. Don't leave me here alone … Ninth Sister, save Second Brother …"
Ji Wuyi appeared helplessly with a frown. He couldn't stand the environment and smell of the dungeon. He covered his nose and said, "Brother Crown Prince, I think Ji Wuyu really wants to repent after suffering so much. Why don't you just let him go?"
Ji Wuji said indifferently, "Is that so? Some people won't turn back even if they hit the wall. Besides, the words spoken under suffering can't be trusted at all."
Ji Wuyi said, "Brother Crown Prince, aren't you preparing for the duel with Yan Shiyi? I heard that the letter of challenge is already on the way. Ji Wuyu reaped what he sowed. It's his retribution. If we don't save him, it'll be hard to explain to Imperial Father. Moreover, Li Xueyi did us a favor this time. If we don't accept it, I'm afraid there will be other troubles. "
"When did you become Li Xueyi's lobbyist?" Ji Wuji seemed a little dissatisfied.
Ji Wuyi smiled brightly like a blooming flower, filling the room with its fragrance. "I've always been on Brother Crown Prince's side. Since Brother Crown Prince doesn't want to save him, then don't save him." She turned to leave.
Ji Wuyu felt as if he had been struck by lightning and his head was buzzing. He couldn't believe that Ninth Sister, whom he had doted on since childhood, would give up on saving him and let him continue to suffer because of Ji Wuji's unhappiness.
His blood turned cold, and he suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person. "You can leave!"
"You don't want to save him?" Ji Wuji was surprised.
"I suddenly feel that this place is not bad. There's no need for Imperial Brother and Ninth Sister to worry about it," Ji Wuyu said lightly.
"Then you can continue to suffer." Ji Wuji left without another word.
The guard closed the door and locked it again. The entire dungeon returned to silence.
Only the flames burning in Ji Wuyu's eyes seemed to be crackling.
…
Ever since Yan Li was restrained, he had been trying to find a way to escape.
However, Ban Zhao's primordial spirit had lost all five senses due to the multiple increments. It was as if he was sealed in a box and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
This was a transcendental space. Since then, only the heavy pressure on the soul made him feel uncomfortable. It was as if all the nerves in his body had been cut off.
He couldn't feel pain, and he had no way of knowing what was happening in the outside world.
Anyone in such a situation would not be able to help but feel anxious and uneasy, and he was no exception.
However, this was only the beginning. He gradually calmed down. He had experienced too much misfortune and suffering in his life. Compared to being "exiled," the real pain in his body was actually more unbearable. In such a situation, it was a wonderful opportunity.
He seemed to have returned to the state of a mother's body, but there were still some differences. For example, he couldn't detect his surroundings. It was as if he was surrounded by water. He couldn't hear or see anything. However, the advantage of this was that he could calm down and examine himself.
When he was in the first four realms, he realized from the adversity of being replaced by illusions that the most difficult thing for a person was to forgive himself.
This level of understanding was a huge breakthrough. The person who set this stage must have had a unique understanding of this Dao.
At this moment, in a situation where he could die at any time, he examined himself. It was almost the same as before. However, there was still a subtle difference. The difference was that back then, it was a matter of life and death, and he couldn't calm down. Now, he could slowly think from the depths of his soul.
This thinking was the true understanding of cultivation. Of course, it wasn't the kind of thinking of "why people are people and not something else". Instead, it was from the perspective of self, Dharma Access, and cultivation. The result was: the meaning of a sword song.
The reason why it was called the meaning of a sword song was because of the unique situation at this time, and also because of his real name.
For ordinary Dharma Access, as long as one knew the incantation and the route of vital Qi circulation, one could master it. The more profound ones, like the absolute arts, were created by the top grandmasters of the present age. If one wanted to study their essence, one had to deeply understand their thoughts and heights, and understand what they were trying to express. Therefore, the supreme arts were more difficult to understand. Many disciples of Confucian orthodoxy were obviously very talented, but they couldn't get the essentials, and their cultivation progress was slow.
This was also why the disciples of the Nine Great Confucian orthodoxy who were ranked on the Heavenly Son Double Roll of Heaven's Favorites were only around 50.
Yan Li was different. He had a first-class sword master, and he could understand any sword incantation unconditionally. Even something as difficult as the Taibai Sword Sutra, he could interpret it himself. Other than the illusion in the Dragon God Ring, there was no one to guide him. In fact, even if he passed the Taibai Sword Sutra to someone else, no matter how talented that person was, they would not be able to understand it.
He was the only one in the world who could learn it.
The meaning of a sword song mentioned earlier was his current understanding. In terms of Dharma Access, there was nothing that could stump him. What he needed was to accumulate more, and then proceed to the third incantation.
Nothing could stump him referred to Dharma Access, but the Green Lotus was not a Dharma Access.
After hearing Jin Xiangyin's words, he was enlightened, and he understood the essence of the sword song to a deeper level. Then, he finally understood why none of the tens of thousands of disciples from the Green Lotus Sword Deity could comprehend the sword song.
In the darkness that was born because the five senses could not extend, a green lotus bud rose and slowly bloomed in front of his eyes. In the center of the bud was a lamp that illuminated the world.
According to Shen Liuyun's description, this was the Green Lotus Lamp that Yan Shiyi had used to kill Li Xuanwei.
At this moment, he understood a shocking truth: the Green Lotus Lamp was not a treasure, but the sword song itself.
The sword song itself was a sword, and in the light, it was clearly swallowing and spitting out a pure green sword gleam. This was the reason why he could understand it. There were tens of thousands of disciples from the Sword Deity, and none of them were first-class sword masters, so how could he understand it? Even if he had the original meaning of the sword song, he could not understand it, or rather, he could not understand it.
Moreover, what Jin Xiangyin said was that it could be one, but it could also be all things. He only had a slight understanding of the sword song itself.
But this was enough. In other words, he had found the path of incantation. To truly use the sword song for himself, he had to go through incantation, and completely fill his entire body with the power of the sword song. Then, he might be able to resist the Black Blood Curse.
He was excited, and "reached out" to grab the light. The sword song's meaning flowed through his body, and his five senses that had been completely shut off opened up again. Of course, before he had time to check out his surroundings, his head was occupied by a sharp pain.
The power of the Primordial Spirit invading the body was no joke.
The sword song had not matured yet, and could only help him regain his five senses, but could not do much more.
The moment he opened his eyes, he felt as if heaven and earth were trembling. Countless small swords shot towards Su Xiaojian.
