The black dragon turtle moved forward rapidly, constantly changing direction, and occasionally diving into the seabed, as if it was afraid of being tracked by someone.
I don’t know how long it took, but it should have been about seven or eight days, when the speeding dragon turtle finally stopped.
The darkness that shrouded the surroundings dissipated like clouds turning to reveal the sun, and a desolate sea area full of black islands and reefs suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The dragon turtle did not stay on the sea surface, but danced its forelimbs, cut through the sea water, and dived straight down.
The seabed here was very undulating, like mountains. The black dragon turtle quickly came to a seafloor mountain wall and stopped.
Mao Yi waved his sleeves, and several blue lights lit up from around the mountain wall, forming a blue light curtain that isolated the nearby seawater, forming a large waterless space.
"Master!" Several men in black appeared silently from nowhere and bowed to Mao Yi.
On top of the turtle's back, all the owners of Return to the Void Island stood up one after another.
"Take these people down and keep them under good supervision," Mao Yi said calmly.
"Yes." The leader, a hunchbacked man, agreed.
Mao Yi flicked his sleeves and shot out a burst of black light, covering Huangfu Jue. The two of them disappeared in a flash, and they didn't know where they went.
When Yuan Ming saw this, his tense heart relaxed.
Mao Yi didn't notice him until now. The previous choice was indeed correct.
With his current strength, it is not difficult to escape from here as long as Mao Yi is not around.
As soon as Mao Yi left, the men in black also relaxed and looked at Yuan Ming and others, especially the storage instruments on their bodies, with greed in their eyes.
The hearts of all the cultivators returning to the void sank, but now, their mana and soul power have been sealed, and they have no power to resist at all.
"Get down to business!" The hunchbacked man said coldly, and a powerful pressure that belonged to the late stage of returning to the void burst out.
The expressions of the other men in black changed and they reluctantly looked away.
The hunchbacked man muttered something and raised a black flag, as did the other men in black.
Seven or eight flags were suspended in the air, and as several people cast spells, they formed a magic circle.
"Go!" The hunchbacked man took out his flag, causing the flag array to fly out and sink into the mountain wall in front of him.
The mountain wall suddenly became illusory, like a phantom.
The hunchbacked man stopped his hand, waved his hand and released a circle of light, which covered Yuan Ming and others. He walked towards the mountain wall and submerged directly into it.
A flower appeared before Yuan Ming's eyes, and he appeared in a black stone passage, which was long and deep.
Moving along the passage, the group soon came to a rather large cave. The air here was quite humid. There were seven or eight smaller passages deep in the cave, leading to different directions.
"Okay, let's lock them up separately," said the hunchbacked man.
"Boss, the master has left. The brothers have been here for more than ten years and have no luck at all. Should we deal with it according to the old rules?" A man in black with a scar on his face asked in a low voice.
Everyone else also looked at the hunchbacked man with hopeful expressions on their faces.
"Okay, but don't hurt anyone." The hunchbacked man closed his eyes for a moment, then nodded and said.
Several men in black were overjoyed, and immediately swarmed up and took away the storage bags of the island owners and elders, including the natal magic weapons stored in the Dantian.
Yuan Ming had anticipated this situation and threw the storage magic weapon and the Soul-Destroying Sword into the space of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron. The storage magic weapon he was carrying was an evil cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage that he had hunted a few years ago.
I didn't feel any pain when it was taken away.
"Hey, what a powerful force of energy and blood, are you a physical practitioner?" The hunchbacked man looked at Yuan Ming with sharp eyes.
Yuan Ming felt awe-struck in his heart. This man had such a keen sense of perception. He had tried his best to control his energy and blood, pretending to be similar to other island owners. Unexpectedly, this man still noticed it.
"It's not considered physical training. I have practiced physical training." He said calmly.
"Fellow Taoist, you are so humble. With the power of your energy and blood, it is not inferior to the body of all things." The hunchbacked man chuckled and took out a silver box.
The box opened automatically, and inside were thirty-two silver needles, emitting a cold air.
Yuan Ming's eyes darkened. These silver needles gave him a very bad feeling, as if they were specially made to restrain his physical power.
With a sneer on his face, the hunchbacked man made a key point, and dozens of silver needles shot out, piercing Yuan Ming's body everywhere.
The tyrannical energy and blood in Yuan Ming's body was completely shattered. His legs seemed to be filled with vinegar, sore and soft. It took all his strength to stand firm.
"Boss's Taiyin acupuncture skills are getting more and more powerful, and the body of all things can be sealed instantly." The other men in black flattered him.
"What's the point of boasting about your small skills? Lock these people up. They were all return to reality before, so don't be careless!" the hunchbacked man said calmly.
The man in black agreed and led Yuan Ming and others into the passage deep in the cave.
Caves are dug into the stone walls here, and black bars are installed at the door to form cells.
Yuan Ming and others were imprisoned, each with a cell.
"Stay here honestly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." The hunchbacked man said, and his chilling voice echoed in the passage.
"Don't worry, boss. These people are already plucked chickens and can't make any waves. I'm here to guard you, so don't worry." The man with the scar said.
"Okay, I'll leave this place to you." The hunchbacked man said and left with most of the people, leaving only the scarred man and two others.
Yuan Ming's whole body was numb and he struggled to sit on the ground, concentrating on exploring.
Those silver needles turned into cold and sharp qi at this moment, piercing into many nodes where qi and blood circulated in the physical body, and the physical power could not be exerted at all.
"I didn't expect that there is such a method of sealing body cultivation in the overseas world. This is a great experience!" Yuan Ming tried several times, but to no avail, so he had to give up and check this cell.
This cell looks ordinary, but both the stone walls and the door are extremely strong. I don’t know what kind of material they are made of. Not to mention that the island owners have their magic power sealed. Even if they are in perfect condition, it is not easy to break them.
Yuan Ming's physical strength and magic power were now sealed. With the help of the power of the Immortal Tree, he opened the space of the Heaven-stealing Cauldron and used his soul-cultivation magical power to easily eliminate the three guards outside.
But if you want to escape from this extremely strong prison, you must restore your mana.
Yuan Ming sat with his eyes closed and searched for the seal in his dantian.
This seal was no stranger to him. The prisoners in the Demon Realm's Prison of Nothingness had their magic powers sealed by similar means.
Yuan Ming has been possessing the prisoners and guards of the Void Prison over the years, and he has a deep understanding of the seal there. Coupled with his current formation skills, it should not be difficult to crack it.
He used the power of the immortal tree demon to open the passage to the space of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, and powerful spiritual consciousness spurted out to explore the Dantian seal.
Time passed little by little, and the three days flew by in a blink of an eye.
Yuan Ming opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
After three days of research, he had roughly figured out the details of this seal.
This seal is the product of a combination of demonic energy and sealing techniques. It contains demonic energy, mana, soul power, and a trace of space power. It not only seals his Nascent Soul, but also isolates it from his body.
It is almost impossible to crack it simply by relying on magic power and ban-breaking methods.
However, Yuan Ming has already figured out the structure of the seal. He uses the characteristics of the roots of the immortal tree to penetrate the void, disintegrates the power of space within the seal, and then uses demonic energy and mana to attack from the outside. There is a 70-80% chance of breaking the seal.
It's just that the seal design is also quite clever and contains some kind of warning effect. Once he tries to crack it, Mao Yi will know about it immediately.
"It seems that we need to find a way to isolate the warning effect..." Yuan Ming thought to himself.
There are not many ways to do it. As long as you escape into the space of Stealing Heaven Cauldron, or use a silver token to open a space barrier, you should be able to isolate the warning.
It's just that it's too conspicuous. Who knows if anyone in this prison is secretly monitoring it?
Just as Yuan Ming was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside, approaching quickly.
Yuan Ming stopped everything and leaned against the stone wall.
After a few breaths, a man in black appeared outside his cell door. It was the hunchbacked man from before.
"What's the matter with you, sir?" Yuan Ming asked.
"I have investigated your identity. Your name is Yuan Ming. Are you proficient in formations?" the hunchbacked man asked.
"Don't be fooled by proficiency. There are so many formations, and Yuan only knows a few things." Yuan Ming said softly.
"I know how to be humble. It seems that your formation skills are not low. Let me ask you, do you want to live or die?" The hunchbacked man nodded slightly and continued to ask.
"If he could live, I don't think any monk would choose death." Yuan Ming said vaguely, not sure what the other party meant.
"Very well, to tell you the truth, everyone imprisoned here will die in the near future, but you are lucky. Mr. Mao Yi will do a big thing in a while and needs capable manpower. Since you are proficient in formations,
The way will give you a chance to survive." The hunchbacked man pointed out the secret.
A ray of black light penetrated Yuan Ming's body, went straight to his dantian, and struck the seal of his dantian.
With a soft sound of "Chi La", the seal quickly collapsed and dissipated a lot.
Yuan Ming's mana quickly recovered and was back under his control, but only half of it was recovered.
Not only the mana, but the soul power in his Nascent Soul was also restored by half.
However, before Yuan Ming could be happy, a ray of purple light shot out from the black light and merged into his Nascent Soul in a flash.
His Nascent Soul quickly turned lavender, looking like purple jade, giving people a strange and dreamlike beauty.
"What do you mean by this?" Yuan Ming looked at the hunchbacked man outside with an ugly face.
Nascent Soul is the foundation of Dharma cultivation. If it suddenly becomes like this, there must be something wrong.
The hunchbacked man ignored Yuan Ming's angry gaze, but turned his hand and took out a jade slip and threw it in.
"You have one month to practice the secret technique above. As long as you reach the third level, you can survive. Otherwise, your Nascent Soul will be completely eroded by the purple poison and turn into a pool of pus and die."
The hunchbacked man said in a cold tone.
"You..." Yuan Ming suddenly stood up, his face extremely pale.
"Remember, you only have one month." The hunchbacked man said, and then he said nothing more and turned around to leave.
