Chapter 583 - Enter The World With A Real Body

Fang Ning walked towards the Draconic Penitentiary, which was where he was most familiar with over the recent years. Though it did not sound very right, it was the truth…

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Draconic Penitentiary, he lowered his head a little, and walked through the little wooden door at the wall that surrounded the volcano. Afterward, he could not help but sigh as it really did not seem prestigious.

Those who knew would know that it was a “dragon prison” with an unpredictable celestial aura, but those who did not know would certainly think that Master Fang was digging a vegetable garden…

He had thought about changing it into a grand and magnificent gate but sir had a frugal nature. It was extremely stingy that it was really hard to convince it.

Once entered, a spacious plot of land could be seen, and two ten-story buildings occupied the largest areas, which towered beside the other. Beside them were the ancillary facilities of the penitentiary, such as education facilities, activity rooms, offices and so on…

At the front was an “Evil Suppression Tower”, which was especially used to store sinful souls captured by Sir System.

It had a total of ten floors, and was designed to occupy 12000 people. According to Anderson’s latest report, a total of 24300 people had already occupied the building, which would definitely be too crowded if those were all ordinary people.

Nonetheless, it was different for souls as they did not have physiological needs like normal humans, and there were no hygiene issues.

Their only physiological need was that they needed to regularly consume one low-grade vitality pills produced by sir to replenish their souls’ needs in order to prevent their souls from weakening.

“Crowded” was just a false statement to them. If it truly became crowded, it was possible to “hang them on walls for them to sleep”.

Among them, the longest resident had been there for nearly two years, who entered after the “Qixi Flame Meteor Incident” two years ago.

At the back was an “Ascension Tower”, which was designed to occupy 9000 people. Since the Devil Sword Maze on the first level of Draconic Penitentiary was opened, quite a number of fellows had been trapped inside here one after another…from the initial 74 residents.

In the empty building, wails like ghosts and howls like wolves were often heard, such as “Vigilante A, I was tricked by you!”, “It’s impossible that the devil realm looks like this!” and so on. He wondered how they figured it out…

Fang Ning did not ask the System about where it kept the new prisoners, instead, he looked for Anderson first.

When the latter met him, they immediately guided him to the top floor of the “Evil Suppression Tower”.

Over here, every room was a single room, and was occupied by bosses… Their sins were also of various grades and ranks.

Just like “War Devil Lei Tian”, the four-headed snake monster envoy of “Mahabrahma”…they all lived on this level.

“Ling Yunzi stays in Cell No. 915, Yun Ze stays in Cell No. 986.” Anderson introduced.

That was right. For the 10 levels, the first level was numbered from “0”, thus the highest level started with the number “9”.

Accompanied by Anderson, Fang Ning arrived outside Cell No. 915.

“Ling Yunzi, get up, the Sir Warden wants to ask you some questions, answer him honestly.” Anderson’s chilly voice was heard in the cell.

Every time this happened, Anderson was always happier as all the mighty beings from the upper realm that they usually had to worship were just lowly prisoners now.

While Anderson could not decide if they should live or die, they were mostly the deciding factor of whether they lived comfortably or not because it was the warden’s job to worry about this on a daily basis.

Just like Ling Yunzi, who was the leader of a big faction in the upper realm, he had a certain rank in his Taoism sect, and could associate with those Heavenly Treasured Children. At the very least, they were willing to be fawned by him.

His origin of a Soul Consumption Demon could not be revealed at all in the upper realm, hence he could only follow some devil lords, and drifted along in their shadows.

In the gloomy cell, a half-fog, half-human strange object crawled up slowly.

Upon seeing that, Fang Ning’s heart could not help but jump a little.

This was one of the reasons he went through the trouble to look for Anderson to accompany him, or else, he would have just asked the System himself.

“Hmph, the winner becomes the king and the loser becomes an outlaw. If you have any questions, ask away.” From the half-human, half-fog creature, an elder’s voice was heard, which belonged to Ling Yunzi.

“Old servant, you’ve always been so heedless, why didn’t you battle with your dharmakaya?” Fang Ning asked.

“Hmph, if I had it, of course I would’ve used it.” Ling Yunzi sneered.

“Based on what you’re saying, your dharmakaya isn’t easy to be refined?”

“Hmph, based on what you’re saying, you’re still clueless about cultivation. If it isn’t for the detestable Vigilante A who broke my precious cloud fog dharmakaya, I wouldn’t have ended up here.” Ling Yunzi sounded aggrieved, and his tone was heavy.

“Mmm?” Fang Ning furrowed his brows a little.

“Answer honestly, don’t try to speak nonsense.” Anderson immediately yelled at him, “Have you not tasted enough pain?”

“Hmph, dharmakaya are naturally hard to be refined. For every substitute that can deceive people, it requires a huge consumption of materials, energy, a master’s net worth, which is far from many mighty beings. It’s already an extremely lucky event for it to be refined, how can there be more?” Ling Yunxi replied coldly.

“Hehe, even until now, you’re still lying. You clearly have one-third of your real body hiding outside…” Fang Ning said slowly.

When Ling Yunzai heard him, his initial cold attitude instantly disappeared, and was replaced by an utterly shocked face.

“You, how do you know? No, impossible, even for the Heavenly Axiom of this realm, it’s impossible for it to know that I still have a third of my real body hiding!” He was unusually surprised, which did not seem fake at all.

Fang Ning only felt great about this. Once again, the System’s power was clearly displayed.

“Hehe, nothing is too strange in this big world, everything is contained in this vast area. The height of Heaven and the depth of Earth is far beyond your imagination. It’s best for you to be more conscientious.” Fang Ning expressed plainly.

Ling Yunzi fell silent, he was no longer as lofty as he was before.

“Mr. Rich Boss, you’re pretending again.” Unknowingly, the System interrupted again.

“Look at you, if a person doesn’t pretend a little in life, how is that person different from being a salty fish?” Fang Ning rejoined firmly.

“You’re quite reasonable but you keep acting with my abilities, should I ask for some copyright fees from you?” The System took the opportunity to ask.

“Oh damn… You really don’t just blabber.” Fang Ning instantly rejected it. “Both of us share the same body, what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours. How can there be any copyright issues?”

“…” The System was speechless. After a long time, it added, “I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you.”

“Thank you for your praise.” Fang Ning was unconcerned, he continued talking to Ling Yunzi.

“I’ve already grasped the location of the one-third of your real body, so I’m only here to ask you about your transformation to see if you’ve actually thought about turning a new leaf. Now, it looks like there’s something wrong with your attitude.” After Fang Ning said that, he turned to say to Anderson, “Xiao An, give this old servant special treatment in the future. I’d like to let him understand that in our world, love and righteousness are king, and that’s the Great Path. Those who comply to it will prosper, while those who oppose it will perish.”

“I’ll remember it well, I must let this old servant have a deep comprehension of the sins he has committed in the past. I’ll make sure he turns a new leaf and becomes a new spirit.” Anderson quickly responded.

Ling Yunzi was about to speak but decided not to. For an old creature like him, how could he be easily fooled? Before getting a clear picture of this place, he would not easily reveal anything.

Fang Ning was unbothered anyway, so he said, “Mmm, let us visit the next one.”

Anderson quickly led the way.

As a matter of course, Fang Ning would not ask Ling Yunzi something like, “Where is the other third of your real body?”. Based on this old fellow’s crafty nature, he would never reveal it no matter what.

That was because he would really die if he did reveal it…

“You wasted all the time to ask that?” The System was discontented.

“What do you mean by wasting time?” Fang Ning refuted while he walked. “This fellow has already admitted that it’s not easy to refine a transformed body, we won’t have to worry about not attacking the real host. After all, it seemed like there are really few creatures with substitutes.”

“Uh, you’re quite reasonable. Anderson doesn’t have a high cultivation base, he doesn’t know much about the daily routines of these high-level cultivators.” The System no longer made a fuss about it.

“Good. Now, I’ll go visit Yun Ze. As a Heavenly Treasured Child, he should have some substitute techniques as his last resort, how can he fall into the trap so easily? I’m really curious about this, there must be something strange about this.”

“Mr.Rich Boss, you’re very wise.”

…

In Cell No. 986, a soul will long hair over its shoulder was meditating on the floor. He had a calm face as if he was not worried about being behind bars at the moment.

As before, Fang Ning asked him why he did not use a transformed body.

“Hmph, you’re really clueless. Only by entering the world with a true body, one can comprehend the Great Path. Things like ‘substitute’, ‘incarnate’, ‘avatar’, they all carry the meaning of ‘evasion’. One will be destined to not achieve the Great Path, and will always be mediocre.” Yun Ze looked haughty.

Although he did not directly answer this question, his meaning was already crystal clear.

“Uh…” Fang Ning was embarrassed from listening to it. Back when he was still a weakling, he had already made himself a mechanical puppet substitute…

Currently, that mechanical puppet substitute was still working diligently for him, and was earning its remaining value. As for guarding him against disasters, there were basically none.

“You’re really bragging unblushingly. Don’t you know that you’re already dead?” When Anderson saw him like that, they quickly gave their boss a way out.

“Hmph, death isn’t that much of a tragedy, so how can life be much of a joy either? Everything is just a cycle.” Yun Ze replied plainly.

“Tss… Mr. Rich Boss, this fellow can act better than you!” Sir System was shocked.

“Don’t worry, he won’t be gloating for long.” Fang Ning gritted his teeth.
