Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 14 The Den of Sin

"Elder, you flatter me. I've only had some fortuitous encounters; my cultivation is still far from sufficient. I don't know how long it will take before I qualify for Foundation Establishment!"

Xu Changjun said somewhat modestly.

"Don't give me that crap. When I was your age, I was far behind. I was supposed to be at the high level of Qi Refining, but I hadn't even stabilized my mid-stage Qi Refining. Besides, you're a cultivator with a different spiritual root, so you're always one step ahead of ordinary people in both combat and cultivation. I was far inferior to you back then."

After confirming that it was Xu Changjun, Elder Xu Tianyang looked him up and down several times, his smile becoming even brighter.

After all, nothing is more joyful than having a gifted descendant in the family.

"Please keep this a secret, Elder. I hope I won't be disturbed before my breakthrough!"

Looking at Elder Xu Tianyang's expression, Xu Changjun said softly.

"Since you don't want to go public, I naturally won't force you. Besides, some people in the family are indeed overreaching. Your parents passed away early, so keeping a low profile is the right thing to do. This is the safest approach. Don't worry about the impact later. I have a very close relationship with your father, who will be your backer in the family!"

"Elder, my extraordinary encounter cannot be passed on again, and..." Xu Changjun said hesitantly.

Xu Tianyang waved his hand and said, "Which cultivator who reaches the highest level hasn't had some fortuitous encounters? Everyone has their own extraordinary adventures, so you don't need to tell me about yours. Just keep it a secret."

Hearing this, Xu Changjun was finally relieved.

This prison elder is the true family elder, who puts the family first.

Although he may not be very approachable on the surface and is too cold-hearted, he is much better than the scoundrels in the main branch of the family who spout benevolence and morality but are despicable behind the scenes.

"By the way, what brings you here?! Forget the pleasantries, you can't possibly be here just to see me..."

Xu Tianyang looked at Xu Changjun with suspicion. This Zhenyu was a key family territory, not a good place. Usually, no one came here. The fact that Xu Changjun was attracted here must mean he had other purposes.

"Elder, I have achieved some success in cultivating the flying sword technique, but I have now reached my limit and am struggling to break through the bottleneck. I need some Yin energy to hone my sword skills and use it to consecrate the sword."

Xu Changjun had already devised a plan in order to get into this place, and this answer was undoubtedly the best one.

"It's true that honing your swordsmanship is possible, but this prison is harsh, and the chilling energy can invade your body at any time. You must be careful, or I won't be responsible if you damage your foundation," Xu Tianyang said with a serious expression.

"Furthermore, the Prison has its own rules. It's divided into two parts: the Cave of Sins and the Shadow Prison. You can only cultivate in the upper Shadow Prison; you can't violate the clan rules and venture deeper into the lower level..."

"Nephew will remember this."

Seeing Xu Changjun's serious expression, Elder Xu Tianyang of the Prison Town slowly relaxed his serious expression and said.

"Just remember that. Alright, now that you're here, come in with me. Although the prison is harsh and cold, with strict rules and heavy guard, I'm always the one in charge. Giving you a back door won't hurt..."

As they spoke, Xu Tianyang stepped through the open gate of the mountain prison.

A sinister aura swept over them. Without hesitation, Xu Changjun, slightly excited, followed closely behind and went inside.

……

boom!

As the door behind him closed, Xu Changjun felt as if he had stepped into another world.

A biting cold wind blew past, making my skin feel like it was being cut by a cold knife, causing a slight stinging sensation. Terrifying howls echoed in my ears, blending into the pain.

Xu Changjun frowned. This was the first time he had stepped into the family's den of sins. As soon as he entered, he felt a chill he had never felt before.

In an instant, it felt as if I had fallen into a hell of the dead, and an extremely uncomfortable feeling welled up inside me, both in my flesh and in the depths of my soul.

Stab it!

Stimulated by this, Xu Changjun's naturally repulsive Thunder Spirit physique caused a sudden burst of golden arcs of electricity to flash from beneath his skin. The chilling aura floating in the air shattered abruptly, turning into a wisp of black smoke that vanished without a trace.

However, his spiritual perception was astonishing, and he could still faintly hear the wails of death from the depths of the earth, as if the souls lingered, unwilling to dissipate.

"Kid, how's that feeling?!"

Elder Xu Tianyang stopped and turned to look at Xu Changjun with a smile, asking.

"This place is too cold and gloomy. It's a place that the family only opens to punish traitors and those who have committed heinous crimes. Apart from the necessary guards and me, this old and immortal prison elder, no one dares to step into it under normal circumstances..."

Seeing that Xu Changjun remained calm and composed throughout, Xu Tianyang couldn't help but think more highly of him.

Generally speaking, even the most audacious person would be deeply moved and shaken upon first entering this den of sins and being affected by the aura of the dead.

But Xu Changjun's composure upon first setting foot in this place was truly remarkable.

Moreover, his thunderous power, extremely strong and yang, is the nemesis of this yin energy.

Walking behind Xu Changjun, he could see clearly that wherever Xu Changjun passed, all the Yin energy dissipated and collapsed. This made him very curious: what exactly was this nephew of his that was hiding?

The golden arcs of lightning flashing from his body were probably no ordinary objects!

Even Xu Tianyang, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, vaguely sensed a great danger.

"This thing can harm a Foundation Establishment cultivator?!"

"When did our family acquire such terrifying power of lightning origin...?"

Xu Tianyang frowned slightly, remaining calm and not pressing the matter further.

However, this was the junior's own good fortune. As the elder of the prison, he was always selfless. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to guard this prison as a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator.

So since Xu Changjun didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask any further. He was just happy for his old friend. If he knew in the afterlife that his descendants had achieved such success, he could probably rest in peace.

Xu Changjun's performance undoubtedly pleased Elder Xu Tianyang. Seeing that he had maintained a consistent performance from beginning to end, Elder Xu patted him on the shoulder and said warmly.

"Come on, kid, it's been years since we last met. Come with me down here and let's find a suitable spot to hone your swordsmanship!"

Xu Changjun didn't speak, but simply nodded, following behind Elder Xu Tianyang, his gaze sweeping over the fortified positions on both sides.

"Save me, save me, I'm willing to give you everything I have."

"Let me go, or I will slaughter the entire Xu family!"

"Hahaha, another newcomer?! A pretty boy, hurry up and send him to my cell so I can have a taste?!"
