Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

It seems he's in a good mood.

The mysterious masked man led Su Ping's avatar into the shadow of the black giant tree.

With a hint of pride, he introduced the colossal tree before them:

"See, this is the greatest creation of the Demon Prison Realm, the Demon Prison Ancient Tree!"

"Praise the Demon Prison Ancient Tree, for its existence has earned the recognition of the great consciousness of Chaos."

"Thanks to it, our race has also gained the recognition of Chaos, becoming humble servants of Chaos."

With his words, Su Ping's avatar could feel that, besides the mocking laughter of those Demon Gods, a massive, black ancient tree appeared in his mind.

Fragments of memories surfaced from his heart.

The Demon Prison Realm was originally just an ordinary world.

One day, this world faced an invasion from Chaos.

Like many other intelligent civilizations, it chose to resist Chaos to the end.

Using the abilities of the Demon Prison Ancient Trees scattered across the world, during the early resistance, they even gained a certain advantage.

This world's natives even had hope of defeating Chaos.

However, this hope was eventually considered a mere wishful delusion.

When Chaos tore open a breach in that Time-Space Sea Domain, allowing a Tenth Tier Demon Lord to descend in its true form.

Even with terrain advantage, the natives of the Demon Prison Realm fought with all their might, countless heroes showed their courageous and tragic valor.

Yet ultimately, in the face of Chaos's true power, it was worthless.

The world ultimately suffered a full-scale invasion by the Chaos Army.

The sky, earth, and oceans became dead lands unsuitable for life.

When nine-tenths of the Demon Prison Realm's natives perished, and the remaining transformed into lowest-grade Chaos Demon Spirits or Demon Worms, eternally unable to rise.

The Demon Prison Ancient Tree mutated.

An inconspicuous Demon Prison Ancient Tree devoured all its kind that remained in the world, transforming into a towering giant tree.

It released a black light that imprisoned all the Chaos Army within the world at that time.

Though unfortunately, this disruption lasted but a moment before being undone by the Chaos Demon Gods.

Fortunately, the Demon Prison Ancient Tree demonstrated its value.

Thus, the Demon Prison Realm did not become food for the Chaos Demon Gods.

The Demon Prison Realm was wholly integrated into Chaos, becoming a great world in Chaos's time-space.

All life in the Demon Prison Realm lost their freedom, their lives and deaths at the whim of the Demon Gods.

At least, the Demon Prison Realm was preserved, they survived, and even managed to continue a portion of their civilization...

After reviewing this piece of memory, Su Ping's avatar realized his Divine Soul and even his Primordial Spirit were in a kind of mystical imprisonment.

It's as if he was trapped in a prison specifically designed for the Divine Soul's consciousness.

Moreover, with his physical body unable to move upon entering the Demon Prison Realm.

Hmm... would this count as being doubly imprisoned?

Su Ping's avatar did not panic, he observed the Demon Prison Ancient Tree ahead, speculating from memory that this imprisonment must be the special ability of the giant tree.

And the message conveyed might be one of the triggers?

This somewhat resembles the embryonic form of Abyssal pollution.

The mysterious masked man released his grip on Su Ping's avatar's hand and suddenly chuckled:

"The great Demon Prison Ancient Tree has told me."

"So, you are merely an avatar."

"No wonder you remained calm all along, but... here, calmness is of no use."

"Though you are merely an avatar."

"But if you gain nothing after sacrificing a top-grade wood attribute avatar, would your true form not feel pain?"

The mysterious masked man stared into Su Ping's avatar's eyes, seeing no expression he desired, he was not disappointed, simply spreading his hands and continuing:

"You should now have felt the power of the Demon Prison right?"

"This is a power capable of imprisoning even the Chaos Demon Gods."

"No matter what little schemes you have, even if these secrets are buried deep within your Divine Soul, in the Consciousness Sea..."

"Under the power of the Demon Prison, you will never have a chance to use them."

"This is why, despite some doubts surrounding you, you were permitted to be brought to the Demon Prison Realm."

"Throughout thousands of years, top-grade nourishing materials like yourself that come straight to us are not common, yet not too scarce either."

"Giggle, you'll be buried deep underground, wrapped in the roots of the ancient tree, completely absorbed."

The mysterious masked man spoke to this point.

Black roots emerged from the ground.

These roots crawled up onto Su Ping's avatar, enveloped him when he couldn't move, then pulled him into the soil.

In the blink of an eye, he was buried thousands of meters underground.

Causing the mysterious masked man to withdraw his gaze as if not wanting to continue wasting time on this destined matter.

He adjusted his attire, stepping forth turning into a black mist heading to the canopy of the Demon Prison Ancient Tree.

There, hidden in the canopy, was a verdant crystal palace.

A recently promoted demigod of the Demon Prison clan and many high-ranking officials were there, overseeing the clan's grand scheme.

The eyes of the Demon Lord rely on the nourishment and foundation of the Demon Prison Realm to not be expelled.

And maintaining this balance requires enormous effort, enough to cause countless higher-ups to rack their brains.

Alas!

Deep underground, Su Ping's avatar confirmed the might of this Demon Prison imprisonment.

No Divine Skills or secret techniques could be utilized.

Even his avatar, as a branch of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree, couldn't manifest the illusion of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree.
