Empty Mountain Prison!

Located on the Soul-Breaking Mountain fifty miles south of Gujiang City

。Three sheer cliffs, one gentle slope. 。It is said that people who die there, even their ashes cannot escape! Unless they have served their full sentence 。

Deep in the night, cell 4027

。The other inmates were already asleep, the sounds of farting, grinding teeth, and snoring weaving a tapestry. 。In a corner of the room, near the toilet, a thin old man curled up. 。Suddenly, the figure in the corner seemed to awaken from a nightmare. Its eyes snapped open, two golden flames flickering within them for a long moment before finally dying down. 。Looking around, the god began to feel increasingly agitated. 。"Even if it takes a thousand years of cultivation, I, Chu Xun, will return." 。The sound was barely audible, yet it carried a bone-chilling coldness. 。Three thousand years ago, to be precise, the previous life, Chu Xun was imprisoned unjustly. 。Over three years, Chu Xun has undoubtedly endured inhuman torment. 。

The inmates in the same cell tormented him in different ways every day.

。During the day, he was beaten until his body was covered in wounds. At night, he could only curl up in a corner by the toilet, not daring to close his eyes. Any breeze or rustle made him tremble with fear, like a frightened bird. 。In summer, fellow inmates threw him in the middle of the cell to be eaten alive by mosquitos. 。In winter, he would be soaked to the bone and almost freeze to death on many cold nights. 。Although he had cheated death many times, on his last day of release, he was killed by a cellmate. 。Heaven pitied him, after his death he unexpectedly transmigrated to a cultivation continent in another world. 。In the cultivation continent, cultivation is the only mainstream trend! Chu Xin was unwilling to accept this, he began his arduous cultivation journey filled with boundless hatred. 。He aspires to be the Immortal Emperor, for only an Immortal Emperor can reverse fate and transcend time. 。Fortunately, Chu Xun is exceptionally gifted on the path of cultivation. 。When the Cangming Immortal Emperor, who was then known as the prodigy of heaven, ascended to the throne of the Immortal Emperor, it took him a full ten thousand years. This caused a huge uproar at the time. 。But Chu Xun ascended to the position of Immortal Emperor in just three thousand years! This shocked the entire cultivation world. 。

After Chu Xun ascended to the position of Immortal Emperor, he did not hesitate to exhaust his cultivation and reverse time and space back to the days when he was imprisoned.

。It is lamentable that the once revered Emperor Chu Xian has fallen to the status of an ordinary mortal. 。

...

Tomorrow will be the day he gets out of prison.

。Ke Chu Xun also knew that he would die in this cell tonight. 。He moved gingerly, the broken remnants causing intense pain that sent a shiver down his spine. Countless new wounds joined the old ones. 。

Chu Xun's eyes flashed coldly, he was no longer Emperor Chu Xian, just an ordinary person.

。With his current state, he can't escape tonight's deadly trap. 。He now needs time, a quiet environment. He must cultivate again. 。

We must not allow a tragedy to be repeated.

。

Chu Xun twisted the prisoner's ropes into a rope-like shape.

。He was like a hunter, stalking, waiting…

In the morning, the first ray of sunlight pierced through the iron bars on the wall

。Chu Xin stood up, gritting his teeth, and walked toward the burly man lying on the bed. 。This man's name is Li Hu, nicknamed "Tiger". 。Four days after Chu Xun entered the cell, Li Hu came in, and from then on, Chu Xun lived a nightmare. 。Chu Xun used the prisoner's rope to tightly strangle Li Hu's neck. 。

Li Hu woke up suddenly in his dream, opening his eyes to a ferocious face. He was terrified and struggled desperately.

。Chu Xun's two arms bulged with veins, his teeth gritted together with a "grinding" sound as he strained with all his might. 。

Li Hu's face turned purple, his eyes bulged out. Suddenly, he was choked, and coupled with excessive fright, his brain couldn't react, he only struggled desperately.

。

The deafening silence startled everyone awake.

。Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. 。Usually, Chu Xun was someone who didn't fight back when hit and wouldn't retort when scolded. But this time, he suddenly lashed out, leaving him momentarily speechless. 。

"Stop"

。Finally, someone woke up and charged towards Chu Xun. 。Chu Xun suddenly let go at this moment, grabbed the edge of the upper bunk bed and pulled hard. 。The cell's bed was made of iron, with a top and bottom bunk. Chu Xun grabbed the edge of the top bunk and pulled hard. The entire bed tipped over. 。"Boom" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。The iron bed crashed to the ground with a deafening roar, causing the earth to tremble. 。Seizing the moment when everyone was stunned, Chu Xun dashed towards the washstand in front of the prison cell door. 。The washstand was made of wood, and it held all the toiletries for the eight prisoners in the cell. Chu Xun went crazy and smashed everything: toothbrush holder, basin... plastic shards flew everywhere...Finally, after pushing the entire washstand to the ground, Chu Xun stopped. 。At the same time, footsteps sounded outside the iron gate. 。

"Bang, bang..."

The iron gate was hammered with a clang.

。What are you doing? Revolting?" A small window on the iron gate opened, and Li Guanjia's fierce face appeared. 。Even the unnerved Li Hu, along with everyone else, scrambled to crouch down on the ground, covering their heads with their hands. 。Li Hu is the jail king, but he can only rule in this cell. 。What's truly remarkable about this discipline is that no matter how tough you are outside, once you step inside, everything is governed by the instructor. They have the final say in shaping your experience, making changes as they see fit. 。Especially Teacher Li, was very aggressive. Falling into his hands, you wouldn't die but would definitely be skinned alive. 。The iron gate creaked open, and Head Li stomped in with a thunderous expression. His eyes blazed with fury as he surveyed the utter chaos strewn across the floor. 。

"What on earth is going on? Making a scene under my watch, looking for trouble, are you?"

"Instructor Li, it's this kid, he wanted to strangle me">。Li Hu raised his head and pointed at Chu Xun. 。"Master Li, this kid's gone mad! Not only did he try to strangle Tiger God, but he also knocked over the bed and the washstand." 。All the prisoners naturally huddled together. 。

Master Li looked down at Chu Xun kneeling on the ground. His brow furrowed. At this time, Chu Xun wasn't hiding anything. He was thin and bony, with bruises of blue and purple crisscrossing his body. They were all scars from wounds.

。But in Mr. Li's eyes, these people are heinous criminals, the dregs of society, trash. 。This is not worth considering. 。"These were all done by you?" Li Guanshi squinted his eyes and asked Chu Xun. 。"Yes, " 。Chu Xun opened his mouth to speak in a peaceful manner. 。

Li Guanjia was startled. He thought Chu Xun would also defend himself a few words.

。Give you ten minutes to clean this place up. 。"Headmaster Li addressed Li Hu and the others," 。After finishing, he pointed at Chu Xun and said, "Come with me." 。"A malicious smile appeared on Li Hu and the others' faces. They all knew what Li Guanjia meant by 'come with me', Chu Xun was definitely going to be locked in the small black room. " 。The so-called "small black room" was built with sharp stones, and the floor was paved with jagged stones. This was a means used by prisons to deal with disobedient prisoners. 。The small black room was surrounded by sharp stones. People could only stand on tiptoes, and if they weren't careful, they would cut their soles. 。Even if one tries to lean against the wall, they will be pierced by stone shards spat out from it. 。

The door was shut, plunging the interior into darkness. Inside, one couldn't sit or sleep. This gloomy and confined environment posed a significant challenge both mentally and psychologically.

。If a state of affairs persists for too long, it can be enough to drive one insane. 。So far, no one has been able to survive more than three days in the solitary confinement. 。This made prisoners in jail talk about it everywhere. 。

Chu Xun followed Li Guanjia without any resistance.

。Just before he left, he gave Li Hu a strange smile. 。"Tiger God, what do we do now? This kid has been taken away, how are we going to make a move?" A burly convict growled. 。"

"What's the rush?" Li Hu roared impatiently.

" 。Given this kid's situation, he'd be out in ten-odd hours at most. 。There is still more than a day before he gets out of prison, enough time for us to make our move. 。Once tonight is over, as long as this kid is dead, we can get out of here. This place is really something else. 。Another inmate spat, his eyes glinting with murderous intent. 。Chu Xun followed Li Guanjia to the small black room. 。

Li, the head monitor, opened the small black room with a blank expression.

。"Go in" 。Chu Xun smiled, neither confirming nor denying. 。Just as he was about to go in, he was stopped by Teacher Li. 。"Shoes " 。A flash of fierceness crossed Chu Xun's eyes, and he bent down to pick up his shoes. 。As soon as he stood up, he was pushed in by Master Li with a sneer. 。As soon as Chu Xun's foot touched the ground, he let out a muffled grunt. A sharp stone pierced his sole. 。The door shut, Chu Xun fell into darkness, his hands unable to see five fingers. 。In the darkness, Chu Xun endured the excruciating pain, but a meaningful smile crept onto his face. 。

Letting the stone pierce his foot, Chu Xun bent down and groped for it in the darkness.

。His eyes couldn't see, but relying on his keen sense of touch he began to collect stones from the ground. 。The collected stones were piled in five directions, appearing scattered but actually following a hidden rule. 。

An hour later, the last stone in Chu Xun's hand fell.

。"Boom" 。The air in the small room suddenly surged with the last stone's descent, like an invisible hand stirring it, causing ripples to form. 。Chu Xun wiped the sweat from his forehead, a slight smile playing on his lips. 。"Five Ghost Transport Array, 。The Five Ghosts Moving Array is a spiritual array, its only function is to transport spiritual energy, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. 。Of course, this is just a simple and rough version of the Five Ghosts Moving Array. 。Chu Xun walked into the formation, sat down cross-legged, clasped his hands together, and made a seal. But on his face was a look of surprise. 。This empty mountain prison was built on Mount Broken Souls. It's uninhabited for miles, untouched by pollution and the spiritual energy is even more potent than imagined. 。What a pleasant surprise! 。
