"Ling Chen, are you alright?" After a long while, Mu Qing regained his composure, his face filled with disbelief. Ordinary Cultivators would rather serve and mine Spirit Crystals, or even die, than enter the World Prison. Because that place is simply no place for humans. The World Prison is truly a place where the weak are prey to the strong. Especially the Demon World Prison, the criminals inside are not confined in the Void as in high-level or ordinary World Prisons. Instead, the criminals are allowed to move freely within the World Prison. The only thing they cannot do is to escape that microcosm! Ling Chen actually volunteered to accept the punishment and enter the Demon-level World Prison—other than his brain being filled with water, Mu Qing could not think of any other explanation. "Lord Governor, I’m fine. I have killed Murong Qingshan, the Commander of Netherworld, who was personally appointed by you. This is undoubtedly a slap in your face! If you don’t punish me, how can you justify it to the Cultivators of Qing Province?" Ling Chen spoke with righteous indignation. "Ling Chen, do you know what you are doing?" Mu Qing rebuked, "In the Demon-level World Prison, there are all some top-notch demons. With your strength, going in would be no different from seeking death!" Every prisoner who survives in the Demon-level World Prison has extraordinary means. Either their strength is astonishing, or they are incredibly intelligent. Moreover, the prisoners there have been tempered through life and death, and their combat power is almost the best among Cultivators of the same stage. Especially during battles, it’s basically fighting to the death. If we talk about true strength, the prisoners in the Demon-level World Prison can completely crush same-stage Cultivators outside! Ling Chen is still so young, with limited combat experience. Even if he’s disproportionately strong, he’s likely not able to survive those fearless and fiercely fighting Cultivators. It’s estimated that he wouldn’t last a day before he perishes! However, Ling Chen seemed deaf to these warnings, his eyes burning with fervor as he stared at Mu Qing, saying, "Lord Governor, please believe me! I am definitely not going to my death, I have my own plans. I hope you can grant me this favor! I am willing to exchange it for the Derivation of Perfect World Technique!" "You brat, you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin, will you?" Mu Qing coldly shouted. But then, he suddenly remembered something. In an instant, his figure appeared in front of Ling Chen as if by Instant Teleportation, his eyes bulging out and exclaiming, "What did you say? Derivation of Perfect World Technique?" Ling Chen nodded emphatically. This Magic Skill was not a secret. Many people knew of it. Ling Chen had no plans to keep it to himself forever. Star Pavilion’s Liu Xiao, Liu Yu, Yun Shang of Central Province, Shen Xing, and others knew of it. Being a person from Qing Province, he also hoped to help the Cultivators of Qing Province. Mu Qing stared intently at Ling Chen. His chest heaved violently, like bellows! He simply couldn’t believe it! Ling Chen actually had such a miraculous Magic Skill! If it were anyone else, he would scoff at them. But now, Ling Chen, the owner of the Perfect World, stood before him, making it impossible for him not to believe! "Lord Governor, how do you think I obtained my Perfect World? By luck?" Hearing this, Mu Qing bitterly smiled and said, "Ling Chen, I don’t know what to say about you. You want to exchange the Derivation of Perfect World Technique for me to send you to death?" "Lord Governor, you are joking." Ling Chen grinned and said, "I am also a World Realm Cultivator, quite knowledgeable about worlds. You can confine people in the World Prison; don’t you have a way to control the World Prison?" "All emperors know that in their own body world, they are invincible! I assume, this World Prison is similar, and you also have a way to control it as you wish, right?" "So, if I enter the World Prison, you can completely protect my safety. As long as I face a fatal danger, a slight intervention from you should not be difficult, right?" "Also, Lord Governor, you should be aware of my battle achievements. Against common seven-star emperors, I can strike them down with a single sword! You might not know this, but I killed Murong Ziyi with Divine Soul Telekinesis, directly erasing Murong Ziyi’s Divine Soul!" "Furthermore, I have mastered the levels of the Sword Dao! Plus various methods unknown to others! With your protection, I believe I should be able to return safely!" "An owner of a Perfect World should be worth your time to cultivate, right?" "Moreover, you can use this to explain to the Northern Region Cultivators, maintain your dignity, and gain my Derivation of Perfect World Technique. Why not enjoy such benefits?" Having said that, Ling Chen stared at Mu Qing with a beaming smile. Hearing this, Mu Qing’s expression turned solemn. Ling Chen had thought everything through so thoroughly. Even his own considerations had been taken into account! It made him see Ling Chen in a new light, leaving him without a counterargument. In fact, after the conclusion of each Qing Province’s Young Geniuses Ranking. The hundred geniuses who made the list would all enter the Demon-level World Prison for training. He couldn’t look after a hundred people entering the Demon-level World Prison. But for Ling Chen alone, he could manage. And there were variations in the danger level of the Demon-level World Prisons! He could definitely place Ling Chen in one of the less dangerous World Prisons. After a long time, Mu Qing sighed and said: "Indeed, each generation is stronger than the last! What others see as a doomsday, the Demon-level World Prison, will actually become your training ground!" "Kid, I agree to it! However, the precondition is that you must produce the Derivation of Perfect World Technique; otherwise, I absolutely will not agree!" "Thank you, Lord Governor!" Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s eyes lit up. After a negotiation, he managed to persuade the Lord Governor. Ling Chen quickly handed over the Jade Scroll that recorded the technique. "This is truly miraculous, to think that such a wonderful Magic Skill exists in the world!" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵 After examining it, Mu Qing was pleasantly surprised. "Lord Governor, what do you think?" Even Yun Shang, who came from the central state and was widely experienced, praised it without end, let alone the State Governor of Qing Province. "Alright, kid, I get your plans. Don’t worry, I make good on my promises and I will not go back on my word!" Mu Qing glared at Ling Chen. "Hehe, in that case, I’ll thank you in advance, Lord Governor!" Mu Qing waved his hand and said: "Enough, just call me Uncle Mu. ’Lord Governor’ sounds too formal!" Ling Chen immediately changed his address. "Kid, you really suit my taste! You fight for your own interests without forgetting to consider mine; thank you for that, Uncle Mu." Ling Chen had taken his face into consideration, which gratified him greatly. Such a person was clearly not a petty one whose eyes were fixed solely on benefits! Cultivating him, he would surely not forget Qing Province in the future! "Uncle Mu, you’re too kind." Ling Chen replied with a humble smile. "However, this matter of punishment should be kept between us. Others must not know. Therefore, you need to come back with me to Qing City and put on a bit of an act for me." On the surface, it was about punishment, but in reality, it was about training. The murder of Commander Murong had to have a proper resolution. Although the Murong Family was at fault, their crimes did not justify death. Having killed Commander Murong, he must demonstrate the attitude of a State Governor and uphold the authority of the Commander. To stabilize the public’s heart! Ling Chen agreed very straightforwardly.
