"Lord, this …" Li Dongxu was a little nervous. After all, for tens of thousands of years, no one had ever entered the passageway.
"What, I don't have the right to enter?" Ye Kong asked with a frown.
Chen Zhijie said, "Lord Prison Code, according to the rules, you and our Deputy Prison Code have the right to enter the passageway, but you have to stop outside the array."
Ye Kong said, "Since that's the case, what's the problem? Don't worry, he can't confuse me. "
"There's another reason …" Chen Zhijie pulled Ye Kong to the side and whispered.
So everyone knew that the prisoner inside and the current Immortal Master were enemies, mortal enemies. Your Prison Code was conferred by Uncle Hong, but now you're going to visit Uncle Hong's enemy, aren't you afraid of Uncle Hong's suspicions?
It was also because of this reason that the Prison Code had never entered the passageway. Firstly, they were afraid of being confused, and secondly, they were afraid of Uncle Hong's suspicions.
Ye Kong said, "That's fine, I will explain it to Lord Immortal Master."
Since Ye Kong said so, the others had nothing to say. Chen Zhijie said politely, "Why don't I accompany you in?"
Ye Kong waved his hand, "I alone am enough."
Chen Zhijie didn't really want to go in, there were no benefits, and he might even get into trouble.
At that moment, Ye Kong used the Prison Code jade token to open the restriction on the metal fence, got everyone to wait outside, and walked in alone.
The passageway was very long, but it was perfectly straight, with a downward slope. The walls on both sides were made of materials that were neither gold nor stone, and there was actually moss growing on them. However, one could clearly see that there were bumps under the moss. He didn't know if it was a carving or a rune, but it was most likely a restriction, but he didn't know if it could be activated at a critical moment.
This passageway didn't look long from the outside, but it was abnormally long inside. After walking for a while, Ye Kong felt that it was getting hotter and hotter.
The Heaven Iron Prison had the God Locking Light, and immortals couldn't use their immortal energy, so without immortal energy to protect themselves, Ye Kong clearly felt that he couldn't handle the heat.
Finally, Ye Kong reached the end of the passageway. In front of him was a huge iron gate that was ten meters tall. Standing below it, Ye Kong looked very small. The iron door was covered in mottled marks. Some places were dark red, while others were green. It was quite ancient and strange. It felt like he had arrived at the gates of hell.
Just as Ye Kong was looking for a place to open this huge metal door, he heard a voice in his ears.
"In this passageway, this metal door is the safest. There are no restrictions or mechanisms. Just touch it with your hand and it will open." It was the former Immortal Master who was speaking.
Under the God Locking Light, one could not use their immortal energy. If there was any danger, they wouldn't even be able to escape! Ye Kong did not pay any attention to him.
The former Divine Master did not say anything else. However, Ye Kong's Prison Codex jade token did not seem to have any effect. In the end, he could only walk over and touch the tall iron door with his hand!
Boom!
The iron door opened, revealing a gap that only allowed one person to enter. Instantly, an intense heat hit him. That heat caused Ye Kong to stop breathing. At the same time, the sound of crashing waves came from behind the iron door.
At this moment, the former Divine Master spoke again, "Don't worry. Friend, come in. Hong Dingfang locked me in the core of the earth. This place is filled with lava, so the temperature is naturally higher."
Speaking of which, this guy was always so polite. It was hard to believe that so many people had died because of him.
Ye Kong adjusted his hat and walked in. Although he heard this guy say it, when he really went in, he was still shocked.
The space behind the door was extremely vast, as if it was hiding an ocean! It was incomparably vast!
In the middle of the ocean, huge waves surged up to the sky. However, that was not seawater, but fiery red lava. The temperature of the lava was tens of thousands of degrees Celsius. If one were to fall into it, even an Immortal would be vaporized.
However, in the middle of the ocean, there was a straight bridge that led straight into the depths of the sea of lava. On both sides of the bridge, there was a thin layer of transparent runes. It was like a layer of light blue glass, blocking the lava and allowing people to pass.
"Welcome to the ocean of the earth's core, my friend. Walk over from the bridge, I live in the center of the ocean … "
If he did not speak, Ye Kong might have been more daring. But now that he said it, Ye Kong became cautious. This bridge was all alone in the sea of lava. If anything were to happen to it, it would be too late to cry.
Seeing that Ye Kong didn't move, the former Divine Master smiled and said, "Friend, I won't harm you. I've always been a helpful person. Moreover, I'm locked in the Earth's core. Even if I want to, I'm powerless."
Ye Kong stood at the entrance of the bridge and did not move forward. He snorted, "Friend, you remind me of a famous saying. Friends are used to betray. It just happens to be suitable for you."
The former Divine Master laughed and said, "There are different levels of friends. Some friends are good friends, some are fake friends, and many are fair-weather friends. Some people treated me as a good friend the first time they chatted with me. A true friend. They trusted me completely. That's why they died because they were stupid and greedy. "
Ye Kong nodded, "You finally admit that you are not a true friend. You are just an evil person."
The former Divine Master said, "That's not right. Actually, I am not an evil person. I am just too bored. Actually, I often do good deeds. Do you know who taught Ye Zhenhao the Immortal Gathering Stimulant Array that he relied on to pass his Immortal Tribulation? "
Ye Kong said in shock, "Could it be you?"
"Of course. Don't think that others do not dare to come and see me. Actually, many people have benefited from me! I just casually teach them a few things and they will benefit immensely. "
Ye Kong was shocked. So Ye Zhenhao had come here secretly. He did not know if there were other people who had come here secretly too.
He heard the voice say again, "Sigh. Actually, I really left a big gift for you. But you did not accept it. The Ancient Immortal Heavenly Dao is so strong. Hong Dingfang set up tens of thousands of arrays and restrictions, but they could not stop my immortal consciousness. God knows how many people want to kill me, but I just do not die. This is all because I have the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Dao. Tell me, why do you not want such a strong Heavenly Dao? "
Ye Kong said, "Because I do not want to be controlled by others. If I obtain the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Dao, I will walk a dark path and never be able to turn back."
He sighed, "You worry too much. Actually, I am just a bastard. I am very happy living here. You see me singing and writing poems every day. You do not know how much I enjoy it. Therefore, I will not force you to do things that you do not like. I will also not force you to save me. Really, even if Hong Dingfang personally came to release me, I might not leave … "
As he said that, he actually started crying. He cried, "My beloved concubines are all dead. What is the point of me living? What is the point of me going out? I would rather stay here for the rest of my life and pray for them …"
Ye Kong sighed inwardly. But then he thought about how this guy could make his wife sleep with him. Then he thought about what Concubine Phoenix said about this guy drugging her …
"Alright, don't give me that. In any case, I will not fall for your tricks." Ye Kong spoke again. "Let's cut the crap. Actually, I only have one thing to ask you today."
"Alright, ask away."
"How do you know that I am a Destined One? What is the mission of a Destined One? "
The former Immortal Master laughed and said, "Because I am also a Destined One. Moreover, my Ancient Immortal Heavenly Dao has a spiritual art that allows me to see who is a Destined One."
Ye Kong asked again, "Are you also from Earth?"
"I don't know what Earth is. I come from a technological universe. I am a noble silicon-based lifeform. I don't know why my soul actually flew here and became a lowly carbon-based lifeform. I'm even a bastard. What a joke."
"Silicon-based lifeform?" Ye Kong thought to himself. This guy must be an alien. Thus, Ye Kong said, "I come from Earth, which is also a technological universe. However, it is not very developed … What I want to ask is, for us Destined Ones, whose souls were brought here? Why is this happening? What do they want us to do? Can we still go back?"
This guy could not answer these questions. He said, "What mission? What future? A bastard like me doesn't even dare to think about it. It has nothing to do with me. I will just stay here and mourn for my concubines."
Ye Kong did not have any questions. Just as he was about to leave, he heard this guy speak again. "Friend, thank you for coming to see me today. Plus, I am really sorry about what happened last time … So I decided to give you another gift."
"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, no matter what you say, I won't believe you anymore. I won't listen to you and risk my life." Ye Kong hurriedly waved his hand.
"Oh, no, you don't need to go somewhere. This gift is right in front of you. Walk forward. Don't worry, this pier really doesn't have any danger. This is a restriction personally set by Hong Dingfang … "
Ye Kong looked at it and believed that this pier shouldn't be dangerous. After all, this was the Iron Prison Mountain, a prison. It was his place. He didn't need to be afraid of a prisoner.
Walking on the pier, there was vast lava on both sides. The fiery red waves covered the sky and the earth. It was incomparably spectacular. Fortunately, there was a rune barrier. Walking on the pier was daunting but not dangerous.
After walking for a while, he finally walked to the middle of the pier. However, he could no longer move forward. This place was already blocked by patches of light blue runes, preventing people from moving forward.
Looking over, he could vaguely see a small stone house at the end of the pier. Presumably, that was the place where the former Immortal Master was imprisoned.
"Alright, we are here. My friend, take three steps back and lift up the jade board under your feet. There is a small gift of mine there."
Although Ye Kong had some doubts, he still did as he was told. He lifted up the jade board and there was indeed a small hole below. There was a thin rope in the hole. Using the thin rope to pull up the thing below, an oilcloth bag appeared in front of Ye Kong.
The former Immortal Master smiled and said, "Open it and take a look. This is good stuff."
Ye Kong opened the oilcloth bag and discovered that there was actually a book inside. It was a green ancient scroll and looked very elegant. However, when Ye Kong casually flipped through a few pages, he was surprised to find that every page of this book was actually blank. There was not a single word.
