Chapter 2006: Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon

The three middle-aged men were obviously not unfamiliar with these suddenly appearing black ropes, and they all had mastered means to counter them.

The magical artifacts used by the three men were also likely specially made to deal with these black ropes.

Ye Zhangqing was full of doubts, but at this moment this person was bringing him away in haste, obviously not the time to ask.

All the way bringing Ye Zhangqing back to town, waiting until the two landed in the backyard of the Prison Immortal Building, Ye Zhangqing then had a chance to speak.

"Thank you, senior, for saving me."

He first bowed and performed a salute, expressing his heartfelt thanks.

Seeing this, the man still dressed as a farmer waved his hand indifferently and said.

"Young Master Ye, there's no need for this; it's also our duty."

"Junior dares to ask a question................"

"You want to ask about the origin of those black ropes, and what's inside the ground fissure, right."

Before Ye Zhangqing could finish speaking, the middle-aged man directly interrupted, having already guessed what Ye Zhangqing was thinking.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing did not conceal it, nodding in response.

The two sat down in the courtyard, Zhao family members brought tea for them, then promptly withdrew from the room.

Afterward, the man slowly told Ye Zhangqing the origin of the black ropes and what lay beneath the ground fissure.

Those black ropes come from that thing underground; they can be understood as a means of that thing.

They cannot be cut off completely, and they can absorb human flesh, blood, and spiritual power.

It was also because Ye Zhangqing's own combat ability was decent, plus the timely arrival of the three of them, that nothing happened.

To deal with these black ropes, one must employ special means, namely the magical artifacts they are using.

As for that thing in the underground fissure, the man's eyes were complex, his expression solemn as he spoke in a low voice.

"That thing is an extraterrestrial visitor, belonging neither to the Immortal Realm nor to any lower realm; we call it the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon."

"Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon?"

"Yes, kid, do you know the relationship between the Immortal Realm and the many lower realms?"

"This.......... I don't know."

Ye Zhangqing answered truthfully; upon hearing this, the man began to explain slowly.

"People all think the Immortal Realm developed by plundering the cultivation resources of many lower realms, so compared to the lower realms, the Immortal Realm is more abundant and more suitable for cultivation."

"Actually, the relationship between the Immortal Realm and the lower realms can be understood as an inverted great tree."

"A great tree?"

"Yes, the Immortal Realm is the roots, and the many lower realms are the numerous branches and trunks."

"The Immortal Realm connects to the mysterious outside world, absorbing nutrients from it, then providing them to the many lower realms."

"The so-called heavenly earth spiritual power, the power of laws, and so on—you don't really think they are produced by some spiritual eye, do you?"

"Isn't that the case?"

"The spiritual eye merely has the ability to store heavenly earth spiritual power; it can be understood as receiving the Immortal Realm's spiritual power, while the true source of heavenly earth spiritual power is that mysterious outside world."

"Outside world?"

Ye Zhangqing was still hearing this for the first time, full of doubts, while the man continued speaking.

"The outside world can be said to be the fundamental basis for the survival of the Immortal Realm and the lower realms; besides that, it also contains countless dangers, and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon is one of them."

"They are living beings in the outside world; I don't know the specifics, but I only know that these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons are extremely strong and hard to slay."

"Especially those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons with special abilities can only be sealed by any means possible, gradually wearing down their vitality."

Having said this, Ye Zhangqing roughly guessed what lay beneath the ground fissure.

"So, the owner of those black ropes just now is an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon?"

"Yes, this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon sealed in Prison Immortal Town is called the Black Rope Demon by us, and it has been sealed here for over a hundred million years."

"So Prison Immortal Town got its name because of this?"

Ye Zhangqing exclaimed in shock, "No wonder, but why does it seem that no one in Prison Immortal Town knows about these things?"

Even the so-called town elder Li Chengshan seems completely unaware of this, yet how could those men...............

Ye Zhangqing felt this matter was really too suspicious.

And the man also seemed to know Ye Zhangqing's doubts, smiling as he spoke.

"Actually, at first there were no inhabitants here, so this place was chosen as the sealing site."

"But after such a long passage of time, gradually people came to live in seclusion here; at first it was just a few households, then it slowly developed into a village, and later it became the present Prison Immortal Town."

"So it's normal that Prison Immortal Town doesn't know about the Black Rope Demon, because even tens of millions of years before the town appeared, this Black Rope Demon had already been sealed here."

After hearing the man's explanation, Ye Zhangqing nodded, then suddenly realized that this ground collapse seemed to be because of his own doing.

He then looked at the man with a solemn expression and said.

"Senior, this is entirely due to my heavenly tribulation..................."

Although Ye Zhangqing was unaware, after all, his own heavenly tribulation caused the ground to collapse and the fissure to spread.

He had no intention of avoiding responsibility; when something happens, one must face it.

But before Ye Zhangqing could finish speaking, the man directly interrupted.

"Heavenly thunder is only one factor; this Great Seal Formation was already on the verge of collapse, and even without these things we planned to act directly to completely resolve the Black Rope Demon."

"After all, it has been resealed for over a hundred million years; its vitality has been consumed by ninety-nine percent, only lacking the final severing of its foundation."

"So, even without your heavenly tribulation, this battle would still come, and it's not far off."

The man said this lightly, not to comfort Ye Zhangqing, but stating the truth.

After speaking, the middle-aged man rose and lightly patted Ye Zhangqing's shoulder, saying.

"Alright, don't overthink it; we will handle this matter ourselves."

After speaking, the man smiled, waved his hand, and disappeared inside the room.

The man left, and Ye Zhangqing silently pondered in his heart.

It seems there are still many secrets in the Immortal Realm, but none of these are things I can intervene in now.

As for the Black Rope Demon's strength, Ye Zhangqing doesn't know how strong it is, but it is surely above the Immortal Emperor Realm level.

And the three middle-aged men, the aura they just revealed is that of the Immortal Emperor Realm; can they deal with this Black Rope Demon?

But this is also not something Ye Zhangqing can intervene in.

After breaking through to the Ancestor Realm and causing such a thing, I don't even know what to say.

"It seems Prison Immortal Town can no longer be stayed in; it's about time to leave."

Fearful of trouble, a gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall; besides, the man had no intention of doing anything to me, and staying would be meaningless.

So after some hesitation, Ye Zhangqing also plans to leave Prison Immortal Town, change to another place to continue earning Good Review Points, and strive to raise his cultivation as quickly as possible.

Cultivation is the foundation; in the Immortal Realm, one's cultivation has no advantage at all, yet it is the most urgent matter.
