CHAPTER 350: CHAPTER 350: IMMORTAL LOCK STONE

Chen Muxue didn’t hide... Mainly because there really wasn’t anywhere good to hide in this Heavenly Prison, her swaggering posture even made some prison guards who hadn’t seen her before think she was some unfamiliar consort coming to inspect someone, they didn’t even ask her a single question...

She looked like she couldn’t be beaten, and if she were a prisoner, she’d either be locked up or escorted by someone, she wouldn’t be walking around like this, right? So everyone just slightly bowed to Chen Muxue and let her be.

"The people here are quite polite." Chen Muxue hummed a tune, walking with her hands behind her back, indeed resembling a bit of a leader.

Some even speculated that she might be some newly appointed female official, in this era, female cultivators being called to serve as officials was quite common. For some reason, male cultivators always say they want to pursue the great Dao, unwilling to be tainted by the mundane world, but female cultivators often have to consider family and children, having no choice but to earn some silver for a good future for their children without spirit roots.

"Drip, drip, dripping oil waves..." Chen Muxue was humming a song, she finally found Cen Lizhui and the others. The three men were pitifully locked together, Lin Qing squatting on the ground drawing circles like he was some great grudge bearer.

"How are you outside?" Cen Lizhui couldn’t cultivate, but he sat cross-legged. As soon as Chen Muxue arrived, his previously closed eyes suddenly opened.

Chen Muxue hesitated for a moment: "You all... can’t open that lock?"

"Inlaid on this lock is probably the legendary Immortal Lock Stone, a stone casually enchanted by the solar goddess Xihe from the Primordial Era, later used by Nuwa as part of the Sky-filling Stone. As time passed, everything evolved, and only a small piece of the Immortal Lock Stone remains in the mortal world. Unexpectedly, it ended up in royal hands, used in this Heavenly Prison." Cen Lizhui explained.

"Is it really that divine? Xihe and Nuwa, you’re not making this up, are you?" Lin Qing lifted his head, full of doubt.

Chu Wuyi also said: "When people record these things, they often add a bit of legendary ink, what you know is probably also embellished by predecessors. However, this Immortal Lock Stone is truly remarkable, able to create a barrier that isolates nature’s spiritual energy."

Cen Lizhui slightly frowned but accepted their reasoning, as this indeed sounded quite legendary.

Yet he didn’t pursue the matter further, but looked at Chen Muxue: "Since you’re not locked up, hurry and leave, go back to find the Elder of Liuyun Sect or to the Immortal Sect to see my uncle, the Emperor has to listen when they speak."

Chen Muxue was silent.

Cen Lizhui thought she felt a bit embarrassed, thus said: "Liuyun Sect still owes you a favor, and my uncle has a good impression of you. Moreover, since this concerns me, Uncle won’t stand by, you don’t need to worry."

Lin Qing also said: "Yes, yes, don’t be afraid, you go to Liuyun Sect, not to mention the Elder, even the Sect Leader has to help you, you helped Shi’er last time."

Chen Muxue hesitated for a while, but eventually—reached out her hand and tugged at the lock head.

The lock head cracked open as expected. As for the so-called Immortal Lock Stone, it didn’t seem to have anything special; it was just a more colorful stone.

The three in the cell fell into silence.

"It’s definitely because the inside and outside are different, right? This Immortal Lock Stone isolates spiritual power inside the cell, but doesn’t affect the outside, right?" Lin Qing looked at Cen Lizhui, trying to seek a bit of comfort.
