Though His Cultivation Is Low, Every Heavyweight on Prison Peak Is Connected to Him

Who did they haul in this time? "Xiaoyun is here. Xiao Lu and the Meng kid too, I see." The child Grandmaster walked out of the room with a smile, though there was a hint of tension in his voice. He then shifted his gaze to the only unfamiliar face in the group and let out a sigh of relief. "And here I thought another half-immortal had been dragged in. Turns out he's just a mortal." The child Grandmaster returned to his usual demeanor, looking even more relaxed than usual. He swung open an empty cage and said casually to Daoist Xiantian, "Go on, get in yourself." Lu Yang cleared his throat. "Ahem, Grandmaster, you've misunderstood. He isn't a prisoner." "Not a prisoner?" The child Grandmaster was puzzled. "Then who is he?" "Daoist Xiantian, Qi Tongtian." "...Who?" "Our Founding Patriarch, Daoist Xiantian." The child Grandmaster's eyes widened, Daoist Xiantian's figure reflected in his pupils. Total disbelief was written all over his face. He whipped his head toward Yun Zhi for confirmation. Yun Zhi gave a slight nod, confirming that Lu Yang spoke the truth. The child Grandmaster looked at Lu Yang as if he were seeing a ghost, naked shock written across his face. *You little rascal can stir up more trouble than Buyu and the other eight put together!* Meanwhile, he quietly shut the cage door, pretending nothing had happened. Back in the day, Buyu and his eight peers had only made trouble for people at their own level. With some effort, he could still clean up after them. But this kid? Running into ancient Body Integration and Tribulation Transcendence experts and half-immortals whenever he stepped out was bad enough—now he'd even dug up the Founding Patriarch?! "Pure coincidence, all of it!" Lu Yang tried hard to plead his innocence. It wasn't that he went looking for trouble; trouble sought him out on its own. "And this is...?" Daoist Xiantian broke the awkward silence, asking of his own accord. "The Dao Seeking Sect's previous Sect Master, Tang Shengyi, a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence stage." "Junior Tang Shengyi pays respects to Patriarch Xiantian!" The child Grandmaster bowed deeply. Daoist Xiantian felt thoroughly unaccustomed to this and wanted to step aside. It was the first time in his life he had ever received a formal bow from a Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he looked around and tried to change the subject: "By the way, who are all these people locked up here? Would it be convenient to introduce them?" "Allow this junior to introduce them to Patriarch Xiantian. Most of the criminals imprisoned on Prison Peak are Great Yu cultivators, with a few from Great Qian. They were all captured and brought back by disciples of our sect." The child Grandmaster volunteered eagerly, pointing at one of the cages. "The one locked in here is Venerable Xuanlei." The very first person introduced caught Daoist Xiantian so off guard that he could barely keep his voice under control: "Venerable Xuanlei—the Tribulation Transcendence expert who commands thunder?!" Legend had it that Venerable Xuanlei stood at the apex of lightning arts in his era, revered by lightning cultivators everywhere. Even in Daoist Xiantian's time, certain lightning-focused sects still boasted that their ancestors had received the true legacy of Venerable Xuanlei, which spoke volumes about the man's immense renown. "And in here is Venerable Black-White." "Venerable Black-White? Legend says he was the right-hand man of the second Imperial Preceptor!" The child Grandmaster scratched his head. "We actually caught the second Imperial Preceptor at first, but there was an unexpected mishap, and he died from a curse backlash." Then he quickly added, "Though we didn't manage to keep the second Imperial Preceptor, our sect did capture Wu Youdao." "The sixth Emperor Yu, Wu Youdao?!" Daoist Xiantian stared at the young man inside the cage, who exuded an imperial bearing, shock rendering him speechless. This was Wu Youdao, possessed of the second-highest innate talent among all the emperors of Great Yu! Fortunately, the dynasty had fallen. If this had happened in his day, locking him up would have been outright high treason. "These two are Nightmare Supreme and Void Supreme." The child Grandmaster pointed at two soul bodies. "Their physical bodies have already been repurposed as crafting materials." Seeing no reaction from Daoist Xiantian, the child Grandmaster slapped his forehead. "Oh, right, you might not know Void Supreme. He was a half-immortal who fought Emperor Xia for dominion over the realm toward the end of Great Yu." Battered by shock after shock, Daoist Xiantian could no longer react. His eyes were blank and vacant, unable to utter a word. He had never heard of Void Supreme, but he knew of the illustrious half-immortal Nightmare Supreme. Once one of the world's hegemons, he had been the mightiest contender for supremacy toward the end of the Great Qian era. If not for the founding Emperor Yu, it would have been Nightmare Supreme who established an empire! Question after question rushed through his mind: How had these legendary supreme powerhouses been captured? Why did it feel like the Dao Seeking Sect's true might was even more outrageous than the street pingshu stories made it out to be? Just how powerful was this sect he had founded?
