Chapter 485: How deep is your Hole?
Because of what happened with Fang Lin, his connection with Illusion Fang Yu was entirely cut off.
Because of that, one can say that Illusion Fang Yu is currently in autopilot mode, as she can only rely on herself to keep moving.
“Are you still connected with Fang Lin?” Wang Hao asked directly, indicating that he knew about Illusion Fang Yu being an illusion.
Illusion Fang Yu shook her head as she gave her reply.
“No. Right now, I can only faintly sense that Fang Lin is here. But as for my connection with him, it will be pretty impossible for me to access it right now.”
“Hmph!” Wang Hao let out a harrumph as he used his energy sense to scan Fang Lin’s whole body.
“Oh, so that’s how it is…” Wang Hao muttered as he saw something interesting inside Fang Lin’s body.
“Fang Lin’s soul… is gone.” Wang Hao said as he patted Fang Lin’s body. “Not only that, but his Nascent Souls are all gone too, even all of his 13 Cores.”
“They were all gone?” Illusion Fang Yu slightly paled as she heard what Wang Hao said.
“Oh, but I think that you should not be really that worried.” Wang Hao replied consolingly. “From what I see, the combination of the 6 Heirlooms triggered an effect which brought Fang Lin’s soul into a different place.”
“But where could have his soul been sent to?” Illusion Fang Yu muttered as she approached Fang Lin’s body. “If Fang Lin will not be able to come back quickly, the others could possibly discover about the matter of me being an illusion.”
“Well, I trust Fang Lin that he will succeed. After all, this is his only way to save his life.” Wang Hao then stood up as he beckoned Illusion Fang Yu to follow him.
“Come, Fang Yu, we still have to deal with something important now.”
“Okie…” Illusion Fang Yu replied quickly as she followed Wang Hao’s footsteps.

“Eh? So I can cultivate them here?” While Fang Lin was being brought by the blue robes towards the so-called Azure Tooth Prison, he saw something inside his body that made him extremely delighted.
He saw that he can actually foster the growth of his Nascent Souls here.
Fang Lin just tried it as an experiment, but he found out that he can still continue on feeding his Nascent Souls with the stuff that they need in order for them to grow.
This effect was the most apparent with the Male-Female Nascent Soul, which started to grow a little more as Fang Lin slowly fed it with his vital yin and vital yang essence.
As for his Cores, Fang Lin found that they seemed to be frozen in time, with Fang Lin being unable to do anything to make them stronger.
“If I can foster the growth of my Nascent Souls here, then that just means that I can make all of my Nascent Souls grow stronger here!”
Too bad he cannot cultivate his cores here, or else Fang Lin could have tried reaching the 6th Sub-Realm here.
“Well then, my stay in the Azure Tooth Prison will seem to be not boring…” Fang Lin muttered as he decided to focus on making all of his Nascent Souls stronger right here.
“Wait, maybe I can try doing something with the Azure Dragon Phantom in my body…” Fang Lin thought with excitement.
Fang Lin started to have a bold thought that maybe he can try some experiments with the Azure Dragon Phantom inside him along with his Nascent Souls.
But before Fang Lin can do that, he realized that he must know first about the cultivation system in this place.
“Hey, quit staring blankly ahead like that!” The leader shouted as he saw Fang Lin’s dazed look. He assumed that Fang Lin was currently plotting something against them. “Are you thinking of something weird, huh?”
“Oh, I am just wondering on how I was able to summon the Azure Dragon Phantom behind me earlier…” Fang Lin said as he tried to look extremely wistful. “I am curious about that as I could not remember about the cultivation system that I practice…”
“What, you forgot our cultivation system too? My god, your amnesia seems to be extremely pervasive!” The leader sighed as he sagged his shoulders.
“Well, maybe I can tell you a few things about that. After all, you are still my nephew. Consider this my final gift to you before I leave you in the prison.” The leader said, much to Fang Lin’s surprise.
“So this guy is Xiao Chen’s uncle? Xiao Chen, what thing could have you done that even your uncle started on chasing you?” Fang Lin thought as he also started to get interested about Xiao Chen’s past.
But before Fang Lin could ask about Xiao Chen’s sins, the leader started to talk about the cultivation system in this place.
According to the leader, there are people in this planet that were born with their own Divine Spirits.
These Divine Spirits are the ones that provide the people in this place with special abilities and strength.
The leader then mentioned that there is a special cultivation method that anyone with Divine Spirits has to use.
For this cultivation method to work, a person must first awaken their Divine Spirit.
Only when the Divine Spirit has awakened that the cultivation can start.
According to the leader, there are 7 Boundaries that a Divine Spirit Practitioner will undergo to get stronger.
Each Boundary represents a realm of power that was greater than the Boundaries before it.
Everyone will start without any Boundary, and they can only be considered to be a cultivator once they have reached the First Boundary.
As for the other Boundaries, effort must be expended in order to reach them.
According the leader, the First Boundary is the weakest one, while the Seventh Boundary is the peak strength of their cultivation system.
As for its name, everyone is just calling their system the Divine Spirit Cultivation System.
“Eh, from the looks of it, the Divine Spirit Cultivation System seems to be only partially accepted by the Universe…” Fang Lin muttered as he continued on listening to the leader.
“And from the looks of it, the power level of each Boundary is just equivalent to a Stage…”
Fang Lin reached this conclusion as the leader gave detailed descriptions on the power of each Boundary.
“So that means that the strongest beings in this place are only around the Seventh Stage in power…” Fang Lin thought to himself as he straightened his body.
“So the Azure Dragon inside me is a Divine Spirit huh…” Fang Lin then began to look at the Azure Dragon Divine Spirit inside him with greed as he wondered if he can bring it back to his original body.
“Well, I will only have to worry about that later…”
Once the leader was done talking, he let out a sigh as he glared at Fang Lin.
“Xiao Chen, do not expect me to give you better treatment just because we are relatives. You still have sinned against that clan, and you have to pay for it!”
“But Uncle, what sin did I commit? Is it so severe that you have to chase me by yourself?” Fang Lin asked quickly.
“Oh, so you want to know?” The leader was about to say something more when one of the blue robes suddenly spoke up.
“Xiao Guo, let me remind you that you have indulged Xiao Chen way too much now. He may have lost his memory, but that does not mean that you can just answer each of his questions!”
“Yes Elder, I think you are being too much already!” More of the blue robes started to complain, which just showed their dissatisfaction towards Fang Lin.
“Even if he is your nephew, he is still a criminal, so you must act impartial!”
Upon hearing this, what Xiao Guo could only do was to quietly accede.
“…….” Fang Lin was not impressed by what had just happened.
Even if Xiao Guo seemed to be the leader of the blue robes here, it seems like his leader position is a bit shaky.
“Guess I just have to find out about Xiao Chen’s past life in the prison…” Fang Lin thought wistfully as Xiao Guo tightened the obsidian chains around him.
***************
After one more hour of flying, Fang Lin and the blue robes reached their destination.
Upon seeing where he was brought at, Fang Lin could not help but let out a retort.
“Hey, I thought you will imprison me somewhere near the Azure Dragon Clan. Why can I only see a deep hole in this place?”
Out of all the holes that Fang Lin had seen in his life, the hole that he could see right in front of him is the deepest yet.
The hole was so deep that even Fang Lin could not see its bottom. And mind you, Fang Lin is right on top of the hole.
“Dumbass, it seems like your memory loss have made you stupid.” Xiao Guo muttered as the other blue robes began to laugh.
“Do you think that we will allow the Azure Tooth Prison to be near the Azure Dragon Clan? Idiot! That will only pose a risk to the clan members!” Xiao Guo then started to dangle Fang Lin from his chains.
Right now, Xiao Guo and Fang Lin was on top of the hole, with Fang Lin dangling precariously.
Fang Lin, who saw his current position, could not help but stutter as he said,
“Hey Uncle, don’t tell me you are going to let me fall here?”
“Well, that is how we bring the prisoners here in the Azure Dragon Prison. We push them towards this hole.” Xiao Guo said as his grip of Fang Lin’s chains began to slacken.
“S**t! Fang Lin shouted as he seemed to struggle. How the f*k did you even call this hole the Azure Tooth Prison? I don’t see any tooth in here!”
“That’s because this hole is made when a tooth of the Azure Dragon fell here.” Xiao Guo said the chain began to slip from his hand. “Later generations of the Azure Dragon Clan then renovated this hole using the materials of that tooth to create the Azure Tooth Prison.”
“Ahhh!!!” Fang Lin let out a shout as he plunged towards the hole.
Xiao Guo just watched at the falling Xiao Chen with regret in his eyes as he let out a sigh.
“Xiao Chen… you have such a bright future. Why did you waste it for just a single person? Sigh, this is such a waste… Well I hope your stay here in the Azure Tooth Prison will reform you.”
