Chapter 353 Half-Moon Prison

This place once held a cultivator, and the ring he obtained earlier was from that cultivator. As for the restriction outside the ring, it should have been engraved by the person who imprisoned the cultivator. What puzzled Mo Wuji was that this person went to so much trouble to imprison the prisoner's ring with a restriction, but didn't take the ring away.

At least there was a Heaven-Grade treasure cultivation technique in that ring, and even something far superior to Earth-Grade spirit stones. Anyone would have taken these things, right? Unless...

Thinking of this, Mo Wuji's heart suddenly skipped a beat, unless the things in the ring were insignificant in the other party's eyes, or they simply couldn't see them.

How could that be possible? Heaven-Grade cultivation techniques were already the best things in True Star. Even if he didn't need them, he knew that this technique could be sold for a high price. If they couldn't even see these things, how heaven-defying would the other party be?

Mo Wuji frowned upon considering this. He knew that nothing was impossible in this world. Once something happened, it meant it was possible.

For example, a storage bag containing Yellow-Grade spirit stones and some Qi Gathering Pills needed by cultivators in the Vein Opening Realm. If he was in the Vein Opening Realm, this would simply be the best treasure in the world. But now? In other words, if this thing fell on the road, he really wouldn't bother to bend over and pick it up.

If the other party really couldn't see it, how powerful would the powerhouse who imprisoned the cultivator be? It was certain that they were a cultivator surpassing the Earth Immortal Realm. A cultivator surpassing the Earth Immortal Realm, could they be from another realm?

The Half-Moon Immortal Palace had ninety-nine Dao Gates. According to his deduction, this place should be able to imprison ninety-nine cultivators.

The more Mo Wuji thought about it, the more likely it seemed. But what was the point of a cultivator who had surpassed the Earth Immortal Realm imprisoning these cultivators with only Earth-Grade spirit stones?

No matter how hard Mo Wuji racked his brains, he couldn't understand what was going on. The only thing he could be sure of was that the Half-Moon Immortal Palace was a prison. The treasures inside each gate were left behind by the cultivators imprisoned inside. As for those imprisoned cultivators, they had probably long been corroded and disappeared by the passage of time.

Mo Wuji raised his hand and summoned a wisp of Azure Petal Heart. This flame landed on the chain, burning for several minutes, but didn't cause the chain to change in the slightest.

Although the Azure Petal Heart was still very weak, its temperature could even melt Immortal Sunflower Essence Gold, but it couldn't melt a single link of this chain.

Mo Wuji quickly retreated from the room. He took out the crescent moon key composed of two Half-Moon Keys, but this time he couldn't sense any direction no matter what.

The Spiritual Eye gathered again, and Mo Wuji intended to use the Wind Escape Technique to pass through this passage. He thought that the last door must be at the innermost part of the Half-Moon Immortal Palace. Unexpectedly, after the Spiritual Eye gathered, Mo Wuji saw the person he most wanted to see, Xia Mu.

This guy was the son of Xia Dandao, the Hall Master of the Star Battle Hall of the Star Emperor Mountain. Mo Wuji had never met Xia Mu himself. Chu Qianlou drew Xia Mu's appearance for him. Back then, after Chu Qianlou said that Xia Mu had forced Cen Shuyin into the Thorns Wind Gate, he decided to seek revenge on Xia Mu.

The moment he saw Xia Mu, Mo Wuji's killing intent erupted. He hoped that Xia Dandao didn't only have this one son, otherwise, the Xia family of Star Emperor Mountain would be extinct.

Mo Wuji quickly passed through the two passages of the illusion formation and came to Xia Mu not far away. Before he could make a move, he heard Xia Mu constantly looking around and whispering, "Uncle Guangyuan... Uncle Guangyuan..."

Mo Wuji quickly stopped his movements. This guy had a bodyguard. Xia Mu himself was a mid-stage True God Realm cultivator. Guangyuan could be Xia Mu's bodyguard. It seemed he was a Human Immortal powerhouse.

Mo Wuji was just wondering why Xia Dandao was willing to let Xia Mu enter the Half-Moon Immortal Palace alone. A mid-stage True God Realm was nothing in the Half-Moon Immortal Palace. It turned out that he was protected by a Human Immortal powerhouse.

However, no matter how Mo Wuji observed with his spiritual eye, he couldn't see anyone around. Xia Mu didn't seem to be calling out blindly, it seemed his Uncle Guangyuan was by his side not long ago.

After calling out several times without a response, Xia Mu simply took out the Half-Moon Key and continued to move forward cautiously.

Mo Wuji understood somewhat. This place was probably not as simple as an illusion formation. There might also be various chaotic teleportation formations. Having a Half-Moon Key probably prevented one from being affected. Without a Half-Moon Key, one might be teleported away at any time.

That Uncle Guangyuan was likely teleported away. What surprised Mo Wuji was that Xia Mu also had a Half-Moon Key.

Mo Wuji rushed over quickly. Xia Mu's cultivation was a few minor levels higher than Mo Wuji's. As soon as Mo Wuji approached, he sensed it. Before he could make a move, Mo Wuji's Lightning Sword had already crossed space, directly piercing through Xia Mu's lower back.

Although Xia Mu's realm was slightly higher than Mo Wuji's, his strength was far behind Mo Wuji's. In addition, Mo Wuji's attack was a sneak attack, Xia Mu hardly made any dodging movements and was nailed to the ground by Mo Wuji's Lightning Sword.

"It's you?" Xia Mu immediately recognized Mo Wuji.

Before, Mo Wuji was targeted by several powerhouses, and his father also intervened. He naturally saw it too.

"Did you force my wife into the Thorns Wind Gate?" Mo Wuji walked over slowly, directly taking the Half-Moon Key from Xia Mu's hand. As for Xia Mu's ring, he didn't touch it. Xia Mu was the apple of the Star Battle Hall Master's eye, and there must be a tracking mark in the ring.

It wasn't that he was afraid of his strength. Xia Dandao was in the Half-Moon Immortal Palace now, and he didn't have so much time to waste with such a powerhouse. After he improved his strength, he would go directly to him.

"I am the only son of the Star Battle Hall Master, and even a candidate to inherit Star Emperor Mountain in the future. I suggest you don't kill me, otherwise, you probably won't be able to escape the Half-Moon Immortal Palace. As long as you give up attacking me, the Half-Moon Key is yours, and I will also make a poisonous oath..."

Xia Mu's words were calm, and he avoided the important points, directly avoiding answering Mo Wuji's questions. Before he could finish his words, his head was stomped down by Mo Wuji's foot. "I asked you to answer my question, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Xia Mu's heart sank. He dreamed that Xia Guangyuan would appear by his side at this moment. Just as he was trying to think of a countermeasure, he heard Mo Wuji say, "If you don't want to say it, then don't."

"No, I'll say it..." Xia Mu screamed quickly, but unfortunately, Mo Wuji wouldn't give him another chance. With a force under his foot, Xia Mu's head was directly kicked into pieces by Mo Wuji's Yuan Power.

Xia Dandao, who was not far from Xia Mu, seemed to sense something. He looked up and looked around, and suddenly rushed towards Mo Wuji's direction like crazy.

Although the distance between him and Mo Wuji was getting closer and closer, unfortunately, the two were separated by several passages, and he didn't have Mo Wuji's means to directly see through the illusion formation connecting the passages.

Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in his heart, Shuyin, I have avenged you a little bit.

Just as he was about to destroy Xia Mu's body, his spiritual eye saw Yan Pingzhi quickly approaching. At Yan Pingzhi's speed, it would only take a few breaths to land here.

Yan Pingzhi was a Human Immortal powerhouse. Mo Wuji didn't dare to delay and quickly escaped. Xia Mu's Half-Moon Key allowed him to sense a new location again.

Mo Wuji didn't see Xia Dandao, who was only two passages away from him. If he had seen him, with his character, he would definitely create an instigation incident to create a rift between the Xia family and the Yan family.

Not long after Mo Wuji left, Yan Pingzhi's figure landed next to Xia Mu's body.

"This is Xia Mu of the Xia family? Who has the guts to kill him?" Yan Pingzhi looked at the dead Xia Mu in confusion. Then he bent down and put his hand on the Lightning Sword wound that pierced through Xia Mu's waist.

"It's actually Mo Wuji..." Yan Pingzhi's eyes were filled with killing intent. He immediately looked up at the direction Mo Wuji was leaving and rushed over quickly.

Mo Wuji's condensed spiritual eye had already seen Yan Pingzhi chasing after him. It was a pity that his strength was not enough to scheme against Yan Pingzhi, otherwise, he wouldn't mind killing another Human Immortal powerhouse.

If it was outside, facing the pursuit of a Human Immortal powerhouse, Mo Wuji really wouldn't have a better way. In the Half-Moon Immortal Palace, he only needed to change a passage to avoid Yan Pingzhi's pursuit.

Mo Wuji himself didn't understand the illusion formation in the Half-Moon Immortal Palace. It didn't matter. His condensed spiritual eye could see a certain range, which was enough.

Half an incense stick later, Mo Wuji used the Half-Moon Key obtained from Xia Mu to open another door. Like the first door he saw, there was an iron chain, a stone table, and a rough teacup on the stone table. This time, no matter how Mo Wuji searched, he couldn't find the ring.

Could it be that the ring here was taken away? Mo Wuji bent down and picked up the iron chain and probed it with his spiritual sense. This iron chain was exactly the same as the iron chain he saw before. The only difference was that this iron chain lacked a kind of unyielding resentment and killing aura.

Opening a door without any gains, Mo Wuji didn't continue to waste time exploring, but quickly rushed to the end of the passage.

The Half-Moon Immortal Palace was like a maze, with passages connecting to passages, plus all kinds of illusion formations. It was really impossible for ordinary people to walk to the end of a passage along a straight line.

If Mo Wuji couldn't condense his spiritual eye, it would be impossible for him to reach the end as well. If he had these illusion-filled passages, he might get lost in the middle and end up in another passage.

After running wildly with the Wind Escape Technique, with the help of his spiritual eye, Mo Wuji ran for more than half a day before he stopped.

In front of him was only a red circular door. The keyhole on the door was like a full moon, exactly the style of the key in his hand.

Mo Wuji didn't open the door immediately. His gaze fell on the top of the circular moon door. There were a few huge black characters engraved there: "Eternal Ying Eleventh Prison, Half-Moon Prison."

What a load of crap about the Half-Moon Immortal Palace, this was indeed a prison, and the name of this prison was called Half-Moon Prison. As for Eternal Ying, what place was that?
