My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 979: Chapter 526: Messenger of Shen Yao (4K)

The Netherworld possessed the “Constant Existence” effect and could capture enemies within it, inherently equipped with sealing and subduing capabilities.

The Wraith Sacred Mountain still lacked the ability to seal, and its subduing ability only manifested when using the mountain as a Great Seal to suppress the area.

The Underworld Ghost Market did have the capability to trap external enemies, but doing so would continuously drain the energy of Hong Yi and the Ghost Market.

The sealing and subduing powers of the Netherworld, even the concept of Constant Existence, were naturally existing.

Enhancing these forces, or activating the effects of the Nine-layered Netherworld Prison might require energy, but simultaneously, the Netherworld could devour evil deeds and form a Power of Sin several grades higher than the energy of heaven and earth.

In some ways, imprisoning felons in the Nine-layered Netherworld could achieve a self-sufficient perpetual motion effect.

Similarly, imprisoning criminals was also beneficial for Rakshasa himself, as the Netherworld needed to continuously absorb sin.

“However, it’s hard to find so many guilty people in Tianyuan City.”

“No, I was wrong. Why limit it to people? Legendary monsters can serve as energy batteries, and we need not hold back when extracting from them.”

How perfect.

If he wanted to act, he would act. Mu Yuan continued to sift through the Heavenly Patrol Mirror in his hand, thinking of finding a suitable host for the Nine-layered Netherworld.

Finding a host to integrate the Netherworld and constantly magnify it with the power of reality wasn’t an easy task.

Mu Yuan immediately formed a small group with Dead Bone, Isloa, Hong Yi, and Rakshasa to discuss this matter.

Dead Bone: “A quite feasible idea, worthy of Lord!”

Isloa: “…We do indeed need to construct a high-level prison in Tianyuan City, but I always feel that our Lord is aiming for the top end.”

What could she say? Of course, she agreed.

(Sigh)

Rakshasa: “(Currently cultivating, not online yet)”

Hong Yi: “zzz.”

Suddenly, Duo Lai burst in, “Why does no one ask for my opinion? (upset.jpg)”

Clearly, being the second strongest in Tianyuan City with a high standing in the use of legendary power, the reliable old senior had constructive opinions to offer.

Mu Yuan said, “Alright, then please share your thoughts, Duo Lai.”

Duo Lai first sent an emoticon of ‘no problem.jpg,’ with its hair tuft perking up, looking spirited.

Then, various expressions of Duo Lai’s avatar appeared—thinking, deep thinking, frowning in contemplation, and frantic pondering.

After a while,

Duo Lai chuckled sheepishly, “Eheh, Duo Lai doesn’t really have any opinions.”

It tried to sneak by, acting cute.

Mu Yuan let it slide as expected. If Duo Lai could provide any substantial suggestion, it wouldn’t be the unadulterated Duo Lai.

He resumed the discussion with Dead Bone and Isloa and woke up the feigning-sleep Hong Yi.

The discussion lasted a day and a night.

Duo Lai didn’t leave either; after all, it was the one who barged in. Leaving midway would be too embarrassing. Besides, it was curious about the construction of the new prison in the domain.

However, the more it listened, the more it felt dizzy.

It was literate, but put together, it understood nothing!

Damn it!

It was a senior after all!

Duo Lai sank into thought.

It was because it hadn’t finished reading a single book from the reproductions collected in the Academy.

After Hong Yi and Irene returned to Tianyuan City from their advanced studies at Lakehaven Academy, the city’s Academy had also turned over a new leaf. Not only did it hold several times more books, but it also taught some more sophisticated cultivation skills and knowledge.

Ordinary Professionals didn’t need to learn these, but if High-order Professionals wanted to refine or adjust their skills, and those in the Legendary Realm wished to perfect their cultivation methods or create self-made skills, this knowledge was indispensable.

In Tianyuan City, these contents were pretty much ‘junior to intermediate level’ required courses.

In the world of High-order cultivators, they were also akin to common knowledge. Mastering these basics wouldn’t necessarily yield effective suggestions for ‘Netherworld Prison Construction,’ but at least, one wouldn’t be completely clueless during discussions.

However, although these were merely ‘junior to intermediate level’ required courses, the majority of elites in Tianyuan City hadn’t completed them.

Too little time.

Too difficult content.

Mu Yuan was a considerate Lord; it was okay not to learn, as long as it didn’t obstruct one’s path to becoming stronger. For most people, learning these basics was merely to avoid hitting a wall during cultivation.

For someone like Duo Lai, who became stronger as it went without even knowing how, and became invincible just by eating, being illiterate was not an issue.

Being able to fight was what counted.

That’s what Duo Lai thought too; it was the second most capable fighter in the entire Heavenly Element!

But now…

In the distant Twilight Dominion, within a caravan en route to Shiling City, Duo Lai sat inside a carriage, its expression changing multiple times. It clenched its teeth and with a resolute determination pulled a huge hardback book from its pocket.

It flipped open the cover, turning to the bottleneck it had been stuck on for half a year—the second page—and started reading seriously, a fire seeming to burn in its pupils.

Sitting in the carriage with it, who was openly in charge of this caravan expedition, was a Four-order Peak Lord of Frost, ‘Red Frost.’

At that moment, her mouth agape, she seemed to witness something unbelievable.

“Duo Lai senior is actually… actually reading a book!”

In the Academy of Tianyuan City, Senior Duo Lai was known for failing every minor test, once accomplishing the extraordinary feat of eating an entire book and exam paper yet learning nothing.

To believe that Senior Duo Lai could voluntarily read a book was less credible than believing Senior Duo Lai could instantly kill a monster of the Law Realm!
