Chapter 823: Changes in the Holy Continent, Fengdu Emperor's Abyss

Fei Sheng and Su Shiyi were chatting happily.

Of course, Fei Sheng was talking and Su Shiyi was listening. Although he didn't understand much, it didn't stop the boy from being curious about the world he had never seen before.

On the other side, the ferocious ghost was kneeling on the ground, reporting the confession of the fat Taoist to Yu Chen.

The fat Taoist is now over a thousand years old, and his Taoism in the Tongtian Realm is also considered the backbone of Haotian Holy Land.

And his current position is called "cage master", and those steel-like pyramids are called cage towers.

There are thousands of such cage towers on Shengzhou Island, and there are more than 100,000 people in each cage tower.

- These people are called prisoner birds.

All of them are descendants of the Qi-refining masters and mortals who once lived on Shengzhou Island.

As for why Shengzhou Island has become like this, it has to start with a "transformation" three hundred years ago.

——The fat Taoist is not very skilled, but he has lived long enough, so he almost witnessed the bloody revolution more than three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years ago, there were three holy masters in the Holy Land of Haotian.

Unlike the holy lands on the East Wilderness, the position of the holy master in the holy lands on the East Wilderness is actually just the manager of the holy land, and most of them are at the level of Tongtian - they have huge power, but not enough power to suppress the entire holy land.

The highest power and the strongest force are separated, supervised and restrained by each other, ensuring that at any time, the huge holy land will not produce terrible turmoil because of the will of a certain person.

Many holy lands in the East Wilderness have stood for thousands of years, and this is one of the reasons - they have the power to surpass all living beings, will not be attacked by external troubles, and have a relatively superior system, so there will be no major turmoil inside, and there is no internal trouble.

But the Holy Land of Haotian is different. The three holy masters of the Holy Land of Haotian are the three strongest beings in the entire holy land.

Each of them is a terrible power in the realm of Daoguo.

The three holy masters restrained and supervised each other, which also made the Haotian Holy Land enduring and standing firm.

In addition, although the Haotian Holy Land has the name of a holy land, in fact, it should be regarded as a huge religious force.

Although the three holy masters have some gaps between each other, they have a common belief - the tomb owner.

From the extremely ancient times, the Haotian Holy Land was just an insignificant force, and it was not even named.

But one day, an ancient and powerful terrible existence came, granting the Haotian lineage infinite power and monstrous fortune, and also gave them the profession of guarding a large tomb.

- Of course, the fat Taoist did not know where the so-called "large tomb" was, and what terrible things were in it, but the only thing that was certain was that in that extremely turbulent era, it was that existence that saved the precarious Haotian lineage and gave them the power and qualifications to survive in the troubled times.

Since then, the Haotian lineage has called itself a tomb keeper, guarding the large tomb left by that existence from generation to generation.

But the one thing that will never change for a living being like a human is that it is always changing.

As time goes by, everything changes.

For example, the Third Saint Lord, one of the three eternal Saint Lords, suddenly launched a bloody civil war one day three hundred years ago.

There was no sign.

There was no reason.

Fat Taoist remembered very clearly that day, the sky was dyed blood red, and the earth was piled up with endless corpses.

The original compatriots killed each other.

That change lasted for a hundred days, and finally the two Saint Lords and their confidants were suppressed, and their forces were purged.

Then, the victorious Saint Lord took charge of the entire Haotian Holy Land.

Originally, this bloody civil war among the top leaders should not affect the existence of many mortals on the Holy Island.

——Everyone thought so at the beginning.

But they were wrong.

Because with the victorious Saint Lord's arrival in the Holy Island, a terrifying change began immediately.

At the first moment, all the cultivation sects, mortal kingdoms, and inherited families on Shengzhou Island were banned - no forces other than Haotian Holy Land were allowed to exist on the entire Shengzhou Island.

Then, all mortals and Qi-refining practitioners were uniformly incorporated into Haotian Holy Land.

Then, the furnace workshop of Haotian Holy Land was expanded and operated day and night, and steel behemoths called "cage towers" rose from the ground. After the steel cage tower was built, those mortals and Qi-refining practitioners were all forced to be incorporated into the cage tower and lost their freedom.

During this process, countless people rose up to resist.

But what greeted them was bloody suppression and brutal massacre.

This suppression was even more brutal than the time of reform. As the suppression ended, the population of the entire Shengzhou Island shrank by 30%.

In those years, the entire Shengzhou was dyed blood red.

The rest of the people either looked respectful but were not convinced, planning rebellion, or were reluctant to obey and muddle-headed.

In short, no one dared to resist openly.

In the end, the entire Haotian Holy Land and Shengzhou Island stopped all development and began to mine to the utmost.

Within ten years, all the spiritual mines on Shengzhou Island were mined out.

But it was not over yet.

The Haotian Holy Land began to attack the mineral veins in the starry sky, sending out countless fleets, like locusts, leaving everything barren wherever they passed.

And the natural treasures and spiritual mines mined were sent to the steel pyramid called "Cage Tower", where the captured bird was constantly purified and processed day and night, and finally sent to the Haotian Holy Land.

——These caged birds have no freedom.

They sleep in a "compartment" that can only accommodate one person, eat the coarsest military rations, and are forced to mate and give birth to men and women of appropriate age. In order to cut off the inheritance, after giving birth, the offspring of the caged birds will be taken away and raised by the other caged birds, and they will never meet their parents in their lives.

——Su Shiyi is like this. The grandfather he mentioned has no blood relationship with him. He was just assigned to his grandfather to raise him when he was born.

All the caged birds will be executed as soon as they lose their ability to work.

In the caged tower, people are no longer people, but tools, tools for purifying and refining spiritual ores.

At the beginning, the resistance of the caged birds was extremely serious. Countless people wanted to break through the cage and regain their freedom, and countless rebellions broke out.

But as time passed, those ancestors died in exhaustion and oppression.

The new caged birds don't even know what the outside world is like.

Only a very few will be influenced by the ancient rumors and yearn for the outside world.

More prisoner birds, however, live in a muddle all their lives - they start working from childhood, get married when they are of the right age, give birth to offspring, continue to work, and finally are destroyed when they are old.

Many people never walk out of the steel cage in their entire lives.

In addition, because the highest efficiency is required and the prisoner birds must not resist, all prisoner birds will practice, but their Taoism is controlled in the realm of Kaihai and Lingxiang, which can not only ensure their work efficiency, but also be easily suppressed when they resist.

In addition, it is not only the poor mortals who are affected.

The disciples and elders under the Holy Lord also began to twist in this repetitive repression and perverted environment.

The fat Taoist is a good example.

Three hundred years ago, he was just an ordinary disciple of the Holy Land. He was not kind, nor was he full of evil. Occasionally, he would go out to travel, kill demons and monsters, and save the lives of mortals.

But after being put into the cage tower, although he didn't have to work as hard as mortals, it was also extremely boring.

Over a long period of time, his psychology gradually became twisted and perverted.

He began to enjoy torturing mortals.

It seemed that in this cage like stagnant water, only the light in the eyes of those mortals when they escaped could arouse a wave in the fat Taoist's heart.

At first, he would feel guilty.

But as time passed, his heart gradually became as hard as stone.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't regard Su Shiyi and others as human beings.

It was not until he became the prey in this "hunt" that his twisted and morbid life came to an end.

The report is complete.

The ghost's expression suddenly became angry and a little panic.

Yu Chen glanced at him and asked him to speak if he had anything to say.

The ghost just opened his mouth and told everything.

It turned out that the two failed saints did not die during the bloody change three hundred years ago.

Instead, they were imprisoned in the far east of Shengzhou Island and suppressed under the formation. Their power was continuously squeezed day and night to maintain the operation of the entire Shengzhou Island, which was transformed into a steel creation.

And the place where the two holy masters were suppressed was given a name by the victorious holy master.

——Fengdu Diyuan.

It seemed to mean that the word "Fengdu" would be suppressed forever.

This made the ghost messenger who was judging the fat Taoist in the underworld furious, and added some more to the fat Taoist's punishment.

Yu Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard it.

——What's the difference between this kid cursing behind others when he can't beat them?

He sent the ghost messenger away, closed the gate of hell, found Fei Sheng, and shared the information with him.

Fei Sheng was of course puzzled, wondering how Yu Chen suddenly knew so much information.

But he was used to it and didn't ask much.

Just after hearing Yu Chen's words, he raised his eyebrows: "So what we have to do now is to go to Fengduyuan and rescue the two unlucky saints?"

After a pause, he said: "But the question is, if the two saints are also in the realm of Daoguo, why would they lose two against one?"

After hearing this, Yu Chen shook his head.

Although the fat Taoist is in charge of a cage tower, his status in Haotian Holy Land is not high. Even if he has experienced it personally, he does not know what happened in the terrible change at that time.

"And... it's also very strange..." Fei Sheng frowned, "-According to this statement, thousands of cage towers, tens of millions of workers, day and night to purify and refine Lingzhu, for more than two hundred years in a row-so many Lingzhu, even if a thousand Haotian Holy Lands are consumed daily, they can't use up all of them. What exactly do they want to do?"

"Perhaps the two failed saints will know some clues?"

Yu Chen shook his head and looked to the east,

"-Let's go, after liberating the two failed saints, it will be time for the decisive battle."
