Chapter 27: As The Time Passed...
As the time passed, so did Yan Shun's cultivation grow.
He surpassed catastrophe after catastrophe, each one getting much more difficult to survive than the other.
Sometimes it simply wasn't lighting, an unknown figure appeared and slashed his sword at Yan Shun.
He needed to survive that same wave of Qi, but he took the chance and just continued improving his Sword Intent.
But, as he climbed the floors, fewer people appeared... he was literally isolated from everyone.
His nature started turning much colder than before; his temperate also started to change into a more demonic one.
His feelings gradually dissipated as his body was continuously tortured each time he passed a catastrophe.
His facial hair would grow, but he would just remove it, even if there was nobody to see him.
Overall, he was just getting colder and colder at each time catastrophe; he recovered his Qi and trained his Sword and Zither.
Unfortunately, he couldn't summon Qiuyue; probably due to the fact that he was imprisoned and couldn't see the moon.
His mind was gradually tempting itself, leaving only two things; surviving and getting stronger.
He would gradually dream about his Master, Luo Xueying...
But as her figure appeared, his heart would only tighten.
He missed her and by a lot!
At this point, he just wanted to get out of there and be with Luo Xueying, but unfortunately, he couldn't.
Sometimes he would think that simply escaping the Sect would be a better choice, but if he didn't get into the Immortal Prison, he wouldn't learn what he has learned here.
This Immortal Prison is indeed the best training spot.
However, the only bad thing about it was being alone.
After he reached a certain point, he couldn't see anyone... well, he also had lost count of what floor he was.
But, he just continued... he came here with the feeling of leaving it, so, he's naturally ending this shit and immediately leaving!
Among all of those things, the only thing that really kept him sane would be definitely the [System] his only company.
She would try to cheer him up, and they would have long conversations as Yan Shun lay down on his bed, looking at the roof.
Her words always cheer him up, but the sense of being alone only increased because he couldn't really see her.
...However...
He wasn't the only one who had changed.
After he went to the Immortal Prison, the Holy Land of the Beginning had completely disappeared from the face of the world.
Gu Youwei joined the Moon Sect, a subsidiary sect from the Upper World, and a Sect that only accepted female disciples.
She slowly climbed up the ranks, and finally turned into the Saintness of the Sect along with the original Saintness.
Her cultivation level increased a lot and she was reprimanded as the youngest cultivator to reach the Void Phase!
Her fame only increased by then, and she continued to break through the realms, reaching even higher realms...
She even surpassed the elders!
But, only one thing was kept on her mind, Yan Shun...
This was the sole reason why she was cultivating and getting stronger!
She believed in Yan Shun!
Also, after she woke up when he had already left, Yan Shun had left her a Jade Slip which contained his life essence.
Meaning that if he died, that Jade Slip would be split into two pieces.
And because of that, Gu Youwei continued on, getting stronger each time.
Well... she wasn't the only one.
Wan Meixiang... fell into the demon path, along with Gao Yue and Feng Xian, after hearing the news...
Their heart was broken into millions of pieces.
They developed an Inner Demon, but what they didn't expect was that they would be influenced by that same Inner Demon.
However, all three of them completely absorbed them, and their souls got attached to each other.
And so, they started cultivating the Demon Path just like Yan Shun, they killed cultivators and absorbed their Qi.
They used a lot of treasures to purify their Qi, and gradually, their physiques and bloodlines started to change...
For example... Gao Yue's Innate Sacred Body?
Turned into a Sacred Devil Body!
And so did the same thing happened with Feng Xian and Wan Meixiang, which only made them even more powerful than before.
Their names also spread throughout the whole world, such as the Trio Of Devils, a simple name, but it scared most people.
So, their situation was quite good!
Next, there is Yao Mieli, who currently is on the Upper Plane, she's undergoing a trial.
The trial to become the Heiress of the clan once again, for some reason she gave up her position, and now, she's just getting it back!
She's already passed more than 90% of the trials, but she's already very injured.
After all, she lost most of her cultivation when she came to the Lower Plane, so it's much more difficult than before.
But, her body only got stronger, so she's surpassing her old self.
Finally, there's our favorite, Luo Xueying.
She's simply in Yan Shun's little abode; as the time passed she needed something to make her remember him...
So, she came here to his abode and extracted his scent into a special container.
Her every day; she wakes up on Yan Shun's bed and smells the remaining scent of his clothes.
Then, she sleeps again...
And repeats this circle continuously...
She had thought of coming back to that Luo Family to gain her authority back, but it's impossible to take Yan Shun away from Immortal Prison.
Even her Ancestors wouldn't dare to provoke the Immortal Prison's Goddess.
When she was little, they told her about that same Goddess, maybe she's been here from the beginning of time...
But, the Immortal Prison was there ever since they could remember.
They also told her that when one of the Heavenly Emperors wanted to court this Goddess, he died in a single breath.
The Immortal Prison's Goddess, simply looked at the Heavenly Emperor and his body disappeared from the face of the Plane.
That's why she doesn't dare...
And...
There's also one more...
The Nine-Tailed 'Vixen'...
Currently, she's also climbing the floors of the Immortal Prison, just to meet Yan Shun.
For her, who had been previously an existence equal to the Immortal Prison's Goddess... climbing through the floors was the easiest thing...
But, still, she didn't find Yan Shun at last.
Well, she thought that she must have surpassed him at some point, so she decided to wait on the 98th floor.
From what she has heard from the other prisoners from the below floors, Yan Shun has a special cell.
So, she's just laying on her nine tails waiting for him to arrive...
"Ugh..." Yan Shun groaned.
Currently, he just surpassed yet another catastrophe, and his condition is only getting worse.
He could simply receive the rewards, however...
[Pass the 50th Floor until the 99th Floor of the Immortal Prison without using any resources from the System!]
The system issued a quest in which the rewards were going to be massive!
Along with the rewards he still didn't claim... he'll probably raise until the limit of the Lower Plane!
"System... how many years am I here?"
[... You're only here for 11 months.]
"I mean... compared to the outside."
[Oh. Then, you've been here for 4.5 years.]
The Immortal Prison's time is totally different from the outside, it's much slower...
"What's Gu Youwei's cultivation level?" He asked curiously.
He's pretty that when he gets out of here, he will be at the peak of the Lower Plane...
But, he doesn't know anything about Gu Youwei...
[Gu Youwei's Cultivation Realm is... Returning Void (Late)]
[She's half-step towards the peak, which means she's almost ascending.]
"Mhm... more information?"
[Her Sword Intent has reached the High Emperor Grade and her attribute is naturally 'Sword'.]
[She also comprehended one of the Supernatural Powers of the Limit of the Lower Plane, 999 meters.]
"She did...? As expected of the Chaotic Sword..." Yan Shun smiled lightly.
"Thinking about it... open the Affection List!"
"It's been awhile since I've seen it..."
